Chapter Notes
My poor Emmet/Mar.
Maaaaan I fell so sorry for him, but I won't stop. KKJKJKJKJK XD
Emmet kept running away from coffee shopas far as possible, he wasn't caring for people who looked at him like he was a mad man, doesn't care about pain in his hand.
He was terrified, he attacked that man and only because he joked. What would have happened if he attacked someone else or LUCY!?
This thought was enough for Emmet to yell in pain. People backed away from him, but he didn't jumped to the nearest building and hide there.
He tried to hide from people who looked shocked and pretty alarmed, from Lucy who ran after him, calling his name with tears in her voice, from himself. Or from what was left of him.
"I never meant to!" Emmet yelled and hugged himself, hot tears kept streaming down his face, his whole being was trembling, screaming, crying of pain.
It was awful, he attacked him, he wanted to kill him. Why he even did that? Is it because of what that man said? But it wasn't even that hurtful and it was a joke, maybe that's just how he deals with stress, right?
Stress, different people deal with it how they can, right? Yet the only memory of it only hurt him more and more. He remembered how this man was looking at him. How other people were looking at him.
They were looking at him like he was nothing but a wild animal, a monster that wants nothing but kill them maybe he was. He always tried to deny how aggressive he becomes, he was always telling himself that he's just tired.
Tired of trying to find this villain, tired of being called weak, tired of sitting home all alone with no news on how his friends out there. He was just tired.
"But does being tired makes you violent?"The voice of truth whispered.
No, it never made someone like that, than why he changed so much? Is it because of him losing his body? But out there much more people just like him and they are still the same.
Maybe it's because of the armor. The armor, it made him like this. It was feeding on his negativity and slowly changing him. It was armor's fault, not his. NOT his!
But no matter how hard Emmet was telling it to himself, he couldn't do it, he couldn't stop crying, what if Lucy hadn't stopped him. What then? And how could he return home now?
What if she's still afraid of him? What if she told others? What they will think of him? What if this happen again and Lucy wouldn't be fast enough to stop him and he'll kill someone. Or Lucy….
"I never meant to, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Emmet kept repeating it over and over again, the pain slowly died down, replacing with emptiness. All the thoughts faded.
He wasn't sure for how long he was sitting there crying, the only thing he was sure about, he couldn't look in Lucy's eyes anymore. He just couldn't do it. It was too much.
"I c-can't believe that…. I can't believe I did that to him…." Emmet wiped tears and looked in the window. It was deep night, he was sitting there for 5 hours, not less.
Emmet slowly stood and moved towards exit. "Maybe it's better to sleep here? Maybe she doesn't want to see me after that" Emmet stopped right before door. His body shook again, but he kept standing.
Maybe it's better like this? Maybe he should just take his armor and run away? Run away so he wouldn't hurt someone else.
"But if I won't go back, Lucy would freak out and start panicking" Emmet closed his eyes. "She always said no matter how broken you are, everyone deserves second chance"
But do creatures like him deserve it? He already proved to himself that he can kill. He killed robots without fluctuation, sure they were just metallic monsters who attacked innocent people, but still…..
"Still you destroyed them…. And you enjoyed it" Voice hissed.
Two opposite feelings were fighting inside him. Fear and rage, love and hate, Emmet and Mar.
"What if something happened to him!?What if he's hurting!?" Lucy, shaking from fear for Emmet, kept looking at the door, as if hoped that he'll come back.
He just overreacted, just overreacted. There is no way he could have done something like that. He wasn't like that, he was sweet, kind, caring. He wasn't like HIM.
"Lucy, you need to calm down, I'm sure you boyfriend's fine!" Batman growled, he was slightly annoyed by Lucy's monologue and this whole door staring.
"I CAN'T! HE'S HURTING I JUST KNOW THAT!" Lucy yelled,sheturnedtowards Batman, her face was twisted with rage. He just shook his head and mumbled something, before leaving the room.
How could he act like he didn't care, Emmet saved his life three times already and he keeps acting like total ass hole!
"Lucy, I'm sure he'll come back, that's Emmet we talk about" Unikitty smiled, but Lucy only angrily glared at her and returned to her door staring.
Maybe they're right, maybe I should wait a little bit longer. He will return, he will. But the only memory of his face, of how he looked at her back there made this little balloon of hope shatter.
He was looking so lost, so terrified of what he did. It was as if he had no idea of what he was doing, like if someone else was controlling him, making him act like this….
Benny and Unikitty looked at each other,they looked like they wanted to say something until-
"I'm going after him!" These words made them shook in fear.
She was going to do what!? It was too dangerous to just go whatever they want, they still needed to finish with radar so they could know where he was. He needed to stop her from doing another mistake.
"You what!? No, Lucy, NO! What if HE'S there or this cyborgonic creep!?" Benny yelled and quickly dashed after Lucy. She already held door knob, when door slowly opened.
Lucy backed away and stared at the new comer. Her eyes, once again filled with tears when she saw that it was none other than pale, shaking, looking completely broken Emmet.
Emmet he came back, he CAME BACK. Lucy's heart filled with hope that everything is going to be okay. They just need to talk it all out. It was just a misunderstanding and now Lucy knew that. He NEVER meant to do so.
"EMMET!" Lucy ran toward him and hugged. Hot tears started to stream down her face, while Emmet just stood there movementless.
His head was empty, yet the small bit of him becomes confused. She was hugging him, but why? He wasn't sure. Maybe it's just a trick so he would get distracted and then they'll start yelling at him.
There is no was Lucy kept what happened to herself. They were a team after all and all the members must know what going on between other, but still…. Why nobody looked at him with disgust?
Not Benny, not Unikitty. They were shocked by his sudden return, sure, but only by this. They acted like they didn't know the truth and what if they don't?
"Emmet NEVER do this again, you hear me!? NEVER! I was SO terrified for you! For moment I even thought that something happened to you" Lucy carefully moved Emmet towards sofa and helped him sit.
She turned to Benny and the only glare was enough for him to understand what he needed to do. Hejst nodded and dashed towards kitchen to bring some tea.
They spend so much time together that they started to understand what was needed from just one glare.
"Emmet, why you ran away?" Lucy whispered. "You were afraid because of what you did?" Emmet slowly nodded, not saying a word.
He was still looking pale and kept shaking. Maybe if he keeps quiet then he'll know if it was an act or not. But even if it was an act, she was acting like a professional, almost like he was.
Lucy looked at his eye, it was empty. There were no emotions, not even pain, he was just exhausted. She carefully pat his head on her chest and hugged him once again.
She wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault, that everything going to be okay, but she couldn't. She knew it won't make him feel better, only worse.
She learned that when he was breaking down. When he was screaming in his he wanted to end his life. Not always words can help, sometimes simple hug is the best and only thing that will help.
"I'm so sorry" Emmet whispered. His voice was broken and quiet, tons of hours crying and screaming went not so great for it.
Lucy bit her lip. Was he crying for that long to make his voice sound like that? It was NOT healthy for him, especially when she knew, through what he went through.
"Here's the tea" Benny, dashing in the room, said and handed Emmet his tea. Lucy looked at him with a stare that said "You better keep quiet or I'll kill you". Benny quickly nodded and sat beside Unikitty.
The silence fell between them. Nobody tried to break it, it was very important, firstly for Emmet. He needed this silence, this warm hug to calm down and maybe then he'll be able to tell them what truly happ-
"So, are you going to explain what happened or not?" Annoyed voiceasked. They turned towards kitchen door and saw, none other than Batman himself.
"Bruce, can't you see that it's NOT the best time to tell such stories!" Lucy hissed. "He still need time to recover from everything that happened!"
Emmet looked at her, than on Batman, than again on her. "Why she keeps protecting me?" He thought.
It didn't look like an act. If it was, she could have already let go of him and asked the same question in the same tone.
But yet, she was hugging him and looking at Batman with such hate that Emmet never saw from her. She was protecting him, she forgave him. This thought made his heart warm little bit.
"Ah please! It's ALWAYS NOT the best TIME for EVERYTHING!" He growled. "If you hadn't noticed there is a psycho out there, a lot of murdered people and even more broken like your boyfriend"
"Oh no…" Benny whispered and hid behind the sofa. After a moment Unikitty followed him.
Lucy's face darkened, she looked at Batman with fury. His eyes narrowed in annoyment and he visibly tensed.
They were looking at each other like two wolfs from different flocks, ready to attack the one who dare to cross their territory.
"How dare you!" Lucy stood and moved towards Batman. "How dare you, bat bitch talk like THAT!?" She yelled.
Her fists clenched, she was trembling with so much hate. At that moment she wanted nothing, than let the villain broke this asshole's legs so he could understand what Emmet was going through.
"Bat bitch!? Look after your mouth stupid style!" Batman roared and moved towards Lucy. They stared at each other with so much hate in the eyes, that it seemed that they are going to tear each other apart at any moment.
The whole atmosphere in their housechanged, like if someone clicked the leader. Instead of happiness and relieve, it twisted into rage and hate. That filled everyone who was inside.
"Guys stop…." Emmet whispered, he started to get flashbacks from what happened few hours before. These flashbacks were more and more opening the curtains, letting him to remember what he forgot.
But they ignored him and kept moving closer, until they were standing right before each other faces. Lucy was looking at him with disgust and fury while Batman stared with hate and interest. He was interested in what she's going to do next.
"I can't believe that someone would love such asshole like YOU!" Lucy yelled and, not letting him even opened his mouth,smackedBatman on cheek.
"Says who, miss siren…." He hissed in return. Lucy clenched her fists, ready to punch him again, but he was much faster.
Before she could react, he kicked her in stomach and send flying across the room towards sofa. Lucy yelled out of pain, while Batman just hissed under his breath and turned to leave.
Such an idiot, keep protecting him. When she's going to see that he's nothing but a dead weigh….
Before he opened the door, Lucy hit his head with giant pillow. This attack was strong enough for him to hit his face by the door.
Emmet's body shook when he heard loud crack. It was almost the same as the cracks from man's face when he was breaking it.
"Look at them…." Voice laughed, but Emmet closed his eyes and shook his head, "Open and look closely, they are nothing better than you. The same animals who want to hurt"
"You deserved that!" Lucy yelled and, throwing away pillow, stood in fighting pose, ready for new attack.
Her eyes kept shining with hate. Now she better than never understood why Emmet attacked him, rage was truly a strong emotion. Strong enough to let someone forget what they're doing.
Batman wiped blood from his broken nose and turned towards Lucy. His own fists clenched. He was very close to snapping and realizing his full strength on her.
"Your love of life is going to get hurt if you won't do anything…." Voice hissed and that made Emmet look at them, "This is just a matter of time before it happened, if you going to sit, doing nothing…"
"Why you little…." He hissed and once again moved towards her, she did the same. They were just few meters from each other.
"You can't do anything, can you?" Emmet shut his eyes and shook his head. The voice kept repeating it over and over again.
They were so close, but before one of them could attack another, loud scream filled the room.
"STOP IT!"
They stopped and turned towards sofa. It was Emmet, Emmet was the one who screamed, his eye was once again filled with tears, but that wasn't tears of pain, it was tears of rage.
He stood on his legs and surprisingly fast moved towards them. His face was dark and almost not his, but the glimpse of pain and fear in his eyes, besides rage, were totally his.
"You are the leader of this team, so act like one" Voice laughed and shut, leaving him completely alone.
"Stop it right now! I can't see you both fight, not after what happened!" Emmet yelled and looked at Batman like he was about to kill him. Batman let out cruel laugh and turned towards door.
"So, you finally started learning how to protect yourself, how sweet" He thought, but word sweet was filled with so much hate and disgust that it was a lie. He wasn't happy by this fact at all.
"Why nobody told me to never get on bad side of boyfriend and girlfriend…" Batman hissed under his breath. "One wants to kill you, other breaks your nose".
Batman laughed and right before someone could say a word, left the room. Emmet sighed and turned towards Lucy, the murderous glimpse in his eye was still shining and that reminded her of what happened last night.
But before she could open her mouth to say something, he quickly moved towards his room and hid there, locking the door. His cup of tea was standing on the table, it was still full, but already become cold like like this like his heart.
