We Meet Again

The Truth.

Lilac

It's him.

Sunny is Dagger.

I dragged him to the sofa, and crouched down in front of him, "Sunny," I picked up his head, "Listen to me." I said into his eyes of him, "What happened?" I asked, "Sunny, I have to call an ambulance." I moved the hair from his face to him, "No! You ca n't." He forced out, "They can't know." I looked down at his clothes of him. They're Dagger's clothes.

"Oh, my God! You're Dagger." I exclaimed, "Oh, what do I do?" I ran my fingers through the rips of the suit. He held on tightly to his leg, I looked down and saw blood streaming out, "Alright," I applied pressure on the cut. I untied the lace of my shoe and wrapped it tightly around his leg. I ran to his apartment di lui and opened his bathroom cabinet di lui, but he ran out of the stitches. I went back to him, "Sunny, you're gonna die!" I placed my hand on his cheek of him, "I have to take you to the hospital." He pointed at the earring on the table, "No, Sunny, I need to take you to the hospital!" I yelled, "They can't see me like this." He panted out.

"Fuck!" I yelled, "I'll go get stitches, alright?" I threw on a coat and got my tennis shoes on, "I'll be back." I said before closing the door.

I ran down the block, and quickly realized, I'm trying to save my enemy, Dagger. The one person who will do anything to stop me. I slowed my pace down.

But...I'm also saving Sunny.

I started running faster once again.

The bells on the door jingled as I burst into the drugstore.

I threw a pack of stitches, a needle, painkillers and bandages onto the counter.

"You okay?" The cashier asked.

"Wha-Yeah, I'm fine. Just the bombing really shook me up, you know?" She squinted her eyes at the cut on my eyebrow, "Oh, my God!" She exclaimed, "You were there! Are you alright?"

"Yeah, it's my friend. He 's hurt."

"Take it." She pushed the things towards me, "It's alright, take it."

"Ma'am," I begged.

"Take it." She demanded.

"Thank you, thank you so much." I ran out and went back to the apartment, "Sunny!" I exclaimed. He laid unconscious on the sofa, "Sunny!" I shook him. He opened his eyes, "I got the things, alright?" I ran to get a bottle of vodka and poured it over his cut causing him to let out a scream. I cleaned the blood off the edges of the cut with my shirt. I prepared the needle, "You ready?" I asked before starting to stitch his cut up.

When I finished, I poured vodka on top, and wrapped his leg with the bandages. I opened his mouth and popped the pills into his mouth, "Open." I said. He opened his mouth and I poured vodka into his mouth, "Swallow." He swallowed. I placed the bottle back in its place, and went back to pick him up. I wrapped my arm around his waist, and he wrapped his arm around my neck, "Come on, I'll take you to bed."

I laid him on my bed, and went to lay next to him.

I thought of what I could do about Sunny. I turned my head towards him thinking of how I could just slash his throat, shoot him, open up his leg wound to let him bleed out, but I couldn't do it.

I fell asleep when Sunny's screaming woke me up. I quickly rushed to his side, "Sunny," I threw the blood covered sheets to the other side. The stitches on his leg were opened, and the bandages were bathed in blood. I quickly got up and poured vodka onto a towel, damping it over his leg, "I thought you stitched it." He grunted out, "I'm not a fucking doctor, Sunny!" I yelled, "I have to take you to the hospital, if I do it again, it'll just open up again." I begged. He sat up, "I'll do it."

"Sunny, you're-"

"I can do it!" He yelled. I placed the stitches over his hand.

So he began.

"Why do you do this?" I asked, "The hero stuff." He scoffed before answering, "My mom. It was always to protect my mom." He bit his tongue, "I started boxing after she got jumped. Then I realized you can actually make money from it, and now, I protect the mother of other kids from the dangers out here."

"Who else knows?" I asked.

"Just you." He stated.

When he was done, he wrapped the bandage, and laid back.

I let my hair cover my face to not let him see the cut on my eyebrow and lip.

"Can you just...lay with me?" He nervously said, "You know, to ease the pain" He smiled.

I laid my head on his chest as he rubbed my arm.

"I think this may be time to tell you that my name's Amet... not Sunny." He said before dozing off to sleep. The next morning, I woke up and immediately went to cover my cut with makeup, and make Sunn-Amet some waffles, "Sunny," I whispered and shocked him softly. He moaned, "You're hungry?" I asked, "I made you some waffles!" I placed a small table over his stomach and the waffles on the table. He sat up and began eating, "You aren't hungry?" He asked. I shook my head, "Thanks, I really appreciate it," He placed his hand over mine, "But if we-"

"I'm not telling anyone."

I turned on the TV to the news,

Police are still investigating the scene of yesterday's bombing at Greenhouse. The bombing that caused the lives of twenty nine people, twenty officers and nine civilians as the numbers keep rising up. Police have no leads on the case, but believe this was an act of Nox, New York's newest villain. Now police are questioning where was Dagger during all this, could he be involved in this? Is he working with Nox?

"Oh, shit, Sunny." I placed my hand over his shoulder, "I'm sorry."

"They're gonna think I'm dead." He scoffed.

"You have to show them you're alive, Sunny."
"Yeah, but it's hard when you're being blown out of buildings, and beaten up by some faceless woman." He lifted himself up in a groan, "Can I take a shower?" He asked.

"Yeah, of course," I responded, "Hot water's on the right."

"So...hot water runs out pretty fast," He clapped his hands together, "You don't wanna shower with cold water, do you?" He smiled. I got up and followed him to the bathroom. He took off his suit to leave himself only in underwear. He leaned on the sink and pulled me to a kiss, "You alright?" He asked. I nodded. He took off my shirt, and unhooked my bra. I covered my boobs with my arms as he took off his underwear. He looked up at me, "You sure you're alright?" He asked again. I nodded, "You don't have to if you don't want to."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I repeated.

"You're safe, Lilac, you know that, right? I got you. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you." He pulled me in for a hug, "Look at me," I turned my gaze to his eyes, "You're the best thing that has happened to me, I wo n't let anything get to you." He hugged me tightly, "I'll take a shower, be out in a sec." He forced me out of the room.
