R: "3...2...1, GO!"
....
E: "Um Romy, ain't no one on the roof."
All: "Fuck."
The camera swiveled around, the roof was empty. With no sign of anyone being there. As Eric moved forward, the camera leaned over the edge, showing red and blue lights.
E: "FUCK, THE COPS ARE COMIN' UP!"
As the four villains ran to jump off the side of the building, the camera dropped, swinging around. Then, in a blurred frenzy, you could see Romeo flying and Jaxon teleporting from rooftop to sides of buildings in a matter of seconds.
E: "If it wasn't for this camera lanyard I got around my neck, my camera woulda' been gone."
G: "Mate, I'm carrying you through the air, just saved your dumbass from jumping off the building like a lunatic and you care more about that damned camera."
E: "Okay kangaroo boy, I wanna go with Jax now."
G: "Are you bonkers? I can't just switch you over and if I did, you'd die from your atoms splitting every time he teleports."
E: "What if I want that to happen?"
R: "Eric, turn that camera off, there should be no footage of the route towards the safe house."
*click*
The camera turned back on. It appeared they were in the safe house. A lightly dimmed place with no defining properties whatsoever.
E: "Romy and Jax...BAHAHA...Romy and Jax got inta' fight. Again. BAHAHA...lemme...pfft...just show ya'."
Romeo and Jaxon were in the middle of a brawl. A badly bruised Jaxon was shouting at Romeo.
J: "DID WE REALLY HAVE TO GO ON THAT MISSION. I MEAN WE WERE TRYING TO AVENGE SOMEONE WHO'S FUCKIN' DEAD!"
E: "Are we not gonna talk about Jax callin' me gay."
Eric wanted justice. They ignored him.
R: "SHUT THE HELL UP JAXON, I'M CAPTAIN HERE AND I CALL THE SHOTS!"
J: "NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME. YOU HAVE BEEN DRAGGING ME AROUND FOR YEARS, TRYNA FIND THE KILLERS AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING PAID FOR IT BY THE LEAGUE!"
E: "He has a point, I haven't had a good meal in the past week."
G: "You're new here mate, but you're right. Before his Juliet died a few years ago, Romeo always made sure this squad had money. We were stacked. Him and Jax were thick as thieves but when Juliet died he distanced himself from us."
E: "Who was the fourth on ya' team. Y'know, before me."
G:"Oh...someone who doesn't matter anymore mate...she's dead."
E: "Fuck, was it Juliet?"
Gray gave a nod.
And the fight went on, approximately three hours past. Romeo and Jaxon both laid each other out on the floor but neither gave up and neither gave mercy. Grayson and Eric ended up leaving and turned off the camera.
E: "D'ya think they gonna be at it all night?"
G: "I really hope not."
Eric stayed up all night, part of his ability is being able to not need sleep. He watched Grayson sleeping in the bed across the room. He heard Romeo and Jaxon stomp off towards their rooms too. Editing his vlog, adding in vines to make it more interesting. Talking to himself.
E: "That vine...pfft...hi welcome to chili's. Can use that for when we open the roof door haha."
*click*click*click*
E: "Life is so boring. Who the fuck put me here."
*click*clack*
E: "If I get fake nails it'll be way more fun to type."
E: "Fuck this shit let's go to Pinterest."
*click*click*clack*
E: "That bitch's nails are dry...oh my god black nails. yes bitch."
G: "Eric can you shush, I'm trying to sleep."
E: "Sorry."
Long silence.
G: "Sorry is a word I'd never hear you say. Why are you nicer when the sunsets?"
Eric ripped his face from the screen.
E: "Hmm? Oh...well, the nighttime is when I relax the most y'know. I live here, in this space, with the lights off and my computer screen bright as fuck. I'm basically a demon."
G: "Fuck yeah you are mate, when you turn off that screen, you're eyes are all red."
E: "It's part of my ability."
Eric turns back to the screen.
G: "What even is your ability?"
E: "There's a list o' things."
G: "List them out, I have nothing better to do now that I'm awake."
E: "Night-vision, X-ray vision. And remember when I could see the police entering the building, yeah I can see pretty far."
He said all this, never breaking eye contact with the black market website screen, trying to buy poisonous black nail polish.
G: "Fuck, that's a lot of power."
E: "Well, it's expected of a villain to be so overpowered. I mean, ya' literally a kangaroo."
G: "I don't have a pouch mate."
E: "Or ears. Ya' do got that tail though."
G: "Why don't you ever go to sleep?"
E: "Askin' so many questions, I'd think you were a Hero. I never gotta sleep, regular people need eight to nine hours of sleep but I only gotta sleep for two."
G: "Well I can't sleep mate, the light from the screen is too bright."
E: "Fine."
He walked to his bed, threw the blanket over his head and moved over. He heard a grunt.
G: "This is my bed mate."
E: "I dont give a fuck. You're the one who made me get off o' my computer."
Both slept surprisingly peacful and slowly started to move towards each other in their sleep. Soon they were cuddling.
