What Did You Do, Captain?

Memories ||Part Two|| Wasn't Actually me

"Someday I'm going to leave. I'm going to space. I'm going to go far away from all this. I'm going to go to space and never look back. Space... seems so peaceful." Izzy said in a dreamy voice.

Up on the third floor they all lay on the floor on a large blanket Izzy had brought for them. Mark was on Nyx's left and Izzy was on their right with Eric on her right.

They stared up into the completely pitch black sky. There was pinpricks of light that were slowly dimming. Nyx could feel tears starting to brim in their eyes and they couldn't understand why. Something wasn't right about this. There was a completely different star pattern brightly reflecting in Izzys eyes when Nyx looked over.

"Something isn't right." Mark piped up, his voice seeming deeper and more mature, if only just slightly. Nyx didn't look at him, they couldn't.

"The shower is starting soon." Izzy said.

Nyx swallowed thickly. There was something wrong. They couldn't fight the panic rising in thier throat as they lay there. The anticipation made their teeth hurt from clenching their jaw.

The party had died down, everyone was outside or at the windows watching the sky.

"What's that sound?" Eric asked. They all sat up, looking around in confusion at the rumble below.

"We should leave." Nyx said, a blue light glowing from outside the window near them.

"That's not what happened." Mark injected. There was a loud buzzing noise as Nyx stood and offered their hand.

"Let's go, Izzy." Nyx was more urgent. There was the same buzz and Nyx was sitting down again.

Mark put a hand on Nyx's shoulder,"That's not what happened."

"I'll go look." Izzy said, starting to get up.

"We should go." Nyx said. They lifted their hand but as it was about to grab izzy by the wrist, the same buzzing sound. Izzy was by the window. How did she get there so fast?

"Its..It's... my ex boyfriends truck..." Izzy said in confusion,"He hates the outdoors. Why is he here?"

"We should leave!" Nyx said desperately, but the same buzz came and their words changed,"Just ignore him, the meteors are starting."

They beckoned her over, as their gut twisted.

They stood up and grabbed Izzy, running to the stairs. As they got there, they slowed, the stairway was just pitch black, no light at all. Everything else was lit but not the stairs.

Mark spoke again,"That isn't what happened... and I wasn't here, was I?"

Nyx closed their eyes for a moment, feeling the time line trying to fix itself, hearing the buzz as it did.

"It's my ex boyfriend's truck." Izzy stated. She was at the window when Nyx opened their eyes.

"Captain... what happened?" Mark whispered as he watched. Nyx just leaned into their part.

"Just ignore him. The meteors are starting." Nyx said, beckoning Izzy to sit again.

"Izzy! If you don't come down, I'll make you come down!" Her ex shouted from the ground.

"Buzz off, Mikey!" She shouted, turning away and stomping back to sit with Nyx.

"He won't come up here with Eric up here." Nyx stated.

They lay back down as the stars grew dimmer. Captain felt tears falling down their cheeks.

"What if he does something stupid?" Izzy asked.

"He won't. He is a baby, but when has he ever put effort into anything?" Captain said, their voice growing faint and hard to use.

"You're right. " izzy sighed the words, hugging Izzys arm.

The engine on the truck down below revved. Over and over he jumped slightly trying to intimidate. He seemed to back away to leave.

"See he's done." Captain Nyx said.

Just as the words left their mouth, the truck peeled out and sped up, roaring their direction. Before they could even sit up they heard the sick sound of the truck hitting something. It was a very large truck and it had collided with the old brick factory. They might have been fine, if he hadn't hit a support beam as he tore into the bottom floor.

The building started to shake as Nyx sat up and looked at Mark. He shook his head, knowing that the Captain was about to use the warp crystal. He had been so immersed in this memory he forgot what the crystal did but knew it was no good.

"I have to. I can't go through this again." The floor shook as the bottom walls started to crumble. Izzy screamed as the floor started to crack, dirt and cement flying up from the force of the cracking.

"Nyx! Grab my hand!" Izzy pleaded as the floor started to cave in. Eric was holding onto a windowsill that seemed sturdy and holding one of Izzys hand as the cement on the opposite side of Nyx started to fall, causing everything to slope their direction.

"If I do... then..." nyx was cut off.

"No, don't do that..." Mark chastised.

Captain Nyx took her hand and the floor fell more becoming a very steep slope to the second floor. Izzy and Eric held on so tightly as Nyx tried to slowly scoot along the slope.

They managed to get to the edge and lift themselves up onto a stable part of the floor.

"If you let Izzy go, I can lift her up here with me." Nyx said. Eric nodded and did that. As Nyx took all Izzys weight, Eric used both his hands to lift himself up. Nyx was able to get Izzy up onto the ledge as well, but just as she stood, that entire section, wall and all, collapsed.

Izzy was able to jump and grab Eric's hand.

Nyx could not.

Mark grabbed Nyx by the hand, holding them from the edge of another wall.

" You never let me down." Nyx muttered.

" But I wasn't actually here, was I?" Mark whispered. Nyx could see the reflection of the wormhole in Marks eye. Nyx knew that in reality they fell and then the rest of the building would come down.

Izzy would never walk again, four others were injured in the collapse.

But Nyx... Nyx died twice on the operating table...

Instead of going through that again, Captain was blessed. They fell, but this time, they fell into the wormhole with Mark's hand in their's.
