Electrical Love

Christmas Eve

I've been having these weird thoughts lately.

Like. Is any of this for real? Or not?

My name is Diego. I'm an Electrician for Datamime Power Company.

My name is y/n. I am Electro. The villain of New York. People know who I am. And nobody seems to trust me.

Nobody knows who I am. Nobody seems to notice me.

I have a wife. The most wonderful woman in the world. But she's angry. And I can't seem to remember why.

I have a Girlfriend. She seems borderline obsessive about me. But the way she talks to me and treats me. Seems like she is truly in love.

I can't stop blacking out. When I wake up it feels like I just pass out again.

I can't seem to sleep. Every time I manage to fall asleep, she wakes me back up.

What is going on?... Where is my wife?...

What is happening? Why doesn't she want me to sleep?

Y/n Baxter sits on a bed as he hangs his head. The morning sun shone in between the blinds of the room. His elbows are on his knees as he remains quiet.

His hair is messy and unclean. His eyes are a golden yellow. As well as the veins in his arms and neck.

He stares at the floor as he thinks. While behind him, lays a woman. An African American woman as she slept almost completely naked. Her back faced him as she snored quietly.

He stayed quiet as he just sat in silence. His eyes glided around the dark streaks in the hardwood floor.

He wore a pair of sweatpants. And his back was lit up by the sunlight.

On his back was a tattoo he had gotten 8 years ago. After his wedding day.

It was of a spider crawling around a web that covered his entire back. And this web had electricity flowing on every string in the web.

At the center was the spider. And the electricity formed a heart around the spider.

He also had a tattoo on his left shoulder. A promise that he made years ago.

"Excommunicare aranea" was Latin for "Chase the Spider" he had promised his wife he would chase her to the end of the world if he had to. She saved his life, and he her's. It was a promise he made her that no matter what happened, or where she went. He would find her again.

But he couldn't seem to recall where she was or why. He thought and thought and thought. Why was he here and not with her? Why was she mad and not speaking? Why couldn't he remember anything besides bits and pieces of the past few months?

Then as the woman shifted, his eyes quickly switched to a neon blue as did his veins.

Why was Diego here? His first memory is the bar the night he met Eden. From the day he met her he always thought she was his partner. He heard Penny through his consciousness. But it felt like a different person who was attracted to her.

That night he did kiss Eden. Because he thought she was his Girl. Yet when he would up the next day, he was being yelled at by Penny who accused him of Cheating. He didn't know why. And then he blacked out. When he woke back up, he was with Eden. And she did everything she could to keep Him from falling asleep. Because of what he heard her say to a few people she knew, when he slept he was different, and different was bad.

After a moment, his eyes changed back they returned to golden yellow. He turned his head to look at the woman in the bed. The small part he remembered was she was constantly trying to sleep with him. But no matter how many times he blacked out, or struggled to stay awake, he never let her.
