My Hero Eyeball Chambers

Stop me Ophelia...

Ophelia's father was now in the living room with her mother so she could easily slip out through the kitchen un-noticed and out into the garden.

Running over to the bench, she quickly climbed on and practically flung herself over the fence causing her to come crashing down on the grass beside Richard.

Not to mention the heart attack he almost had as he thought it was her parents or Xavier or anyone really other than her.

"Bloody hell love!" He burst out as she couldn't help the laugh that came from her.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." She said still laughing.

"Scare me?! Fucking hell girl you've given me a bloody heart attack!" He snapped as his hand clutched his shirt on his chest.

She couldn't stop herself from laughing as she sat up next to him and looked down at him as he finally calmed down.

"Didn't think you'd wanna see me again..." he mumbled quietly as he looked up at her.

"Didn't think you'd come back after driving off..." she replied back snapping slightly.

"I had to go tell Ace."

"And Eyeball?" She asked curiously.

He nodded quickly.

"Yeah yeah him too."

Ophelia felt guilty for telling him. "Are they okay?"

He nodded quickly.

"Yeah Ace is gonna sort it but him and Eyeball are gonna lay low for a few days. Try sort this mess out."

"So you're not gonna see them?" She asked, feeling even worse that two of his friends were disappearing for a while.

Eyeball looked up at her as he sat up and faced her.

"No-ones gonna see them." He said, staring straight into her eyes.

"No-ones gonna see them?" She asked, almost leaning closer.

Everything about the cobras intrigued her.

Eyeball shook his head. "No-one will see them for a few days. It's gonna be done so the others can find out what's going on."

"Why are you telling me this? It makes no difference to me. I've never met Ace or Eyeball so it's not like I'm going to miss them when they're your friends." Ophelia blurted out confused.

Eyeball sighed and ran a hand through his hair before crashing back laying on the grass.

"My god this is fucking annoying!" He grumbled as he ran his hands down his face.

"What's going on? Why are you so worked up about these cobras?! Hell are you a cobra?!" Ophelia blabbed out, she just wanted answers.

Looking down at his arms she saw they were covered by his jacket, was their a cobra tattoo under there? Was he actually a cobra?

"It's complicated love." He mumbled as he sat up facing her again.

"How is it? Tell me right here, right now. Are you a cobra? Is that how you know Ace and Eyeball?"

Eyeball growled slightly as he ran his fingers through his hair again but she reached out and grabbed his hands, pulling them away from him and closer to her.

"Tell me." She demanded.

Eyeball stayed silent but his focus fell on her soft small hands holding his. They were smooth and dainty, which compared to his were the exact opposite. His had cuts, grazes and scars from fight and fight and even a few walls he'd punched in his time.
