no Mercy

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

It would be the day before our biggest mission yet.
Everyone was in the training room, awaiting the leadership of Reeva.

I stood the farthest away from Andy and Rebecca.
It was quite obvious that Rebecca was uncomfortable around me, after all, I did cause her attack.
She would look anywhere but my direction, which made me feel more of a monster.

"All right," Reeva announces, "When we get to the Creed Financial building, we will neutralize the mutant detection system. Once that's done, we move in. Lorna will disable communications while the girls and I secure the employees. The Mycrofts will be on the roof, giving us any time needed if or when police will intervene. Rebecca will get us into the vault, with Andrew by her side for protection. We will take what we came for and then we will leave. Violence will only be used as a last resort. Any questions?"

Lorna speaks, "The mutant detection system. You sure you can knock it out? If you can't, this is gonna be a real short heist."

"The girls and I are working on that now. Everything will be ready. Get some rest. Tomorrow is a big day."

As everyone left, I notice Andy was walking next to me.
I almost talked to him, out of pure instinct, but while I stopped myself, he then went back to the room to get Rebecca.
I didn't stop to turn around, I moved straight toward my room.

You'd think with the history he and I have experienced, we would be on a term of glances back and forward; sure as hell, I would look toward him multiple times, yet I could never know if he did the same for me.

With his time with the Hoover girl and my self-helping of isolation, it was like we were strangers, strangers with memories, that it.

"Lux." I turn my head to see my brother in front of me. "He's moved on."

I didn't reply, only pushed past him and walked away.
I couldn't help but feel my throat choke and have water already pooling in my eyes.

Was I in denial? Most likely.
I just thought that maybe, just maybe, Andy would come back to me, in any way.

It hurt to lose a boyfriend and a best friend at the same time...

Two Year Ago

Andy and I were growing to be close. We were in the times of getting to know ourselves on a deeper level and becoming comfortable with one another as friends.
