Stay Chill

Brother's Help

Luna was done getting the elderly people loose from the ropes restraining them, and Albert hugged his granddaughter from behind. At first, Luna was scared because she thought it was a gunman that was probably hiding somewhere so he can kill Luna while she wasn't looking like a sniper or an assassin. She turned around and sighed in relief to see her Pop Pop was just hugging her as a reward.

"Sorry, pop pop." Luna said. "I thought toy were one of those armed baddies."

Albert made a small laugh and he replied: "don't worry about it. I'm sorry if I scared you a little back there. I just wanted to give you a hug for saving me and my girlfriend here." Then she gave him a second hug while she was facing him.

"Thanks, Pop pop. I couldn't let those guys hurt or kill you. I don't know what I would do if you got shot."

"Ah, you shouldn't worry about me, Luna. I'm not as young as I used to be, but it doesn't mean I am not tough as nails anymore. Nope, it will take a lot more than bullets to take me down. And besides, I still have a shotgun and my old chest plate with me. Oh! Don't tell nurse Sue. She will fill and kill me."

"Don't worry, Pop Pop. I won't tell her."

"I think you did wonderful out there, dearie." Said Myrtle, who gave her a rougher hug than Albert had given her. "You really saved us, Luna. I am so proud of you!"

"Ack! Thanks, gran-gran." Luna choked. "Can you please- ack! Let me go?"

"Whoops. Sorry, sweetie. You're not hurt, are you?"

"Nah, I'm good."

"What have you done?!" Said an angry voice. Luna looked and it was the tyrannical and stern nurse who runs the place: Nurse Sue, and she looked quite angry like a hippo charging at a rival Male in a river in Malawi. "Looked at what happened to this place! You wrecked my own nursing home!"

"Take it easy, Sue." Said Albert. "Luna saved all of us from those gunmen."

"I already called the police, Albert." Sue retorted. "They would have taken care of it."

"But the police aren't as fast as I am when it comes to someone's rescue."

"And did you have to trash my place?"

"Come on, Luna didn't completely trash the place." Myrtle argued with her. 'You and I both know that those bad men ransacked the place."

"Still, it is a mess. I should call the police on you, little lady!"

"Hey! What part of I saved your butt did you not understand?" Luna looked a little irritated at Sue's usual stubbornness. "Do you not know who I am, dude?"

Sue made a small chortle and replied with a smug look: "Oh ho ho, I have seen you on the news, Luna Frost. People think you are such a brilliant and wonderful hero, but guess what; I think differently! You are just a vigilante and a criminal that thinks there are happily ever afters."

"I wouldn't say that if I were you." Luna narrowed her angry eyes and readied a beam of ice from her left hand, just about ready to blast her into an ice sculpture, and Sue looked quite scared like she was actually going to die. Albert stopped him by putting a gentle hand on her left shoulder before she could even blast away the snobbish nurse of this retirement home.

In a gentle, calm voice, a voice calm as the gentle summer breeze, Albert said to her: "easy, Luna. Don't bother with her. She hates everything."

"What? I don't hate everything!" The nurse defended herself. "Well... I love cheese more than anything. Does that help?"

"Nope." Said Luna, Albert, and Myrtle in unison.

"Sue, give her a chance." Said Myrtle. "She is a very good girl."
