I was pulled by Electric for about an hour, until we got to, what looked like, an old sweetshop. That must be why she was so buzzed up!

She dragged me in, almost dislocating my shoulder, and stood me in front of a group of people.

"Guys, this is Noise Revolver! We just met him in zone 3!" She practically yelled at everyone. Flinching back at the noise, I waved silently to everyone.

One by one, everyone introduced themselves to me.

There was Battery Cola, who was practically a giant. His 6"3' frame towered over everyone, and it intimidated me like crazy. As soon as he started talking, however, I realised that he was super friendly and bubbly (though, not as bubbly as Petal, which is practically impossible). He had leather fingerless gloves over his massive hands, black skinny jeans and a bright red shirt on. On his head sat a black beanie, which covered his ginger hair.

Next to him was Agent Urgency, who was the eldest of the group. He seemed like the sort of person who would make a great brotherly figure. He was medium height, and was wearing a tie-dyed shirt and blue jeans.

The next person was a girl, and she was probably the prettiest I've ever seen in my life. Her hair was black, and was as straight as an arrow. Her eyes were bordered by thick, red eyeliner, making her emerald eyes pop out. She had ruby red lips, and braces. Her black and white striped skinnies had red braces hanging of off of them, and her arms had so many bracelets that I could never count them all. Her top was a loose, dark blue shirt. She introduced herself as Night Eagle. I couldn't take my eyes off her, which probably made her feel uncomfortable, but I was so captivated by her that I couldn't care less.

Agent Urgency seemed to notice my urm... staring, and wrapped an arm around her protectively.

Disappointment rang through my body, as I realised that no one as beautiful as her would go for a skinny, makeup wearing guy like me.

But even so, I couldn't pull my eyes away from her.

She was true beauty.

Night Eagle's POV

Me, Agent and Cola were messing around in the front room of the shop, when Electric, Adlerian and a lanky guy came in.

"Guys, this is Noise Revolver! We just met him in zone 3!" Petal yelled, making him flinch. I chuckled to myself, knowing how he felt, as he raised he raised his hand and waved, not saying a word.

The guys introduced themselves to him, and as I waited for my turn, I drank in his unusual appearance.

Noise Revolvers bright blue hair was the exact same shade as his mesmerising, sparkling eyes, which had heavy eyeliner around. His mouth had a recent looking cut, and I was incredibly worried I would get infected. He had obviously been living it rough for a while, which made me even more worried. Revolvers clothes were blood stained- most probably with his own blood (a thought made me sick to my stomach) - and they were dirty as fuck. His shirt was a purple t-shirt, which was faded and slightly too big for him.. The jeans he wore were faded and ripped at the knees, and they hung off of his slender figure.

He was average in height, around 5"8', and he was skinny... almost too skinny. Revolver looked as if he hadn't eaten in weeks - which he probably hadn't, considering it was extremely hard to find food in the zones, even in a big group like us.

When I introduced myself to him, I noticed his eyes look over me, as if checking me out. As soon as I spoke her eyes drifted to mine, and I instantly felt a connection. Suddenly, I felt a protective arm slide around my shoulder. Fuck, I had almost forgotten Agent.

Agent and I used to go to school together, and we were close as hell. We never went anywhere without the other knowing. But one summer I started to realise that I was the only one in my class's with no boyfriend. I had never experienced love with someone, and it was getting closer and closer to my last year at school.

When we all went back to school, everyone started to tease me about me not being good enough for love. I started hating myself, thinking that I was never going to be good enough for anyone.

I needed a boyfriend. My first thought was to go out with Agent, who was Tom at the time, because everyone thought we would make a "cute" couple. Sadly, Tom was ecstatic when I brought it up, which made me feel horrible. It was that sort of time when I sunk into a deep depression, which caused me to um... self-mutilate. It was a coping method, one that I wasn't proud of, which I had finished as soon as I became a Killjoy.

In a way, the fires of 2012 had given me a new life. A life that meant helping others instead of feeling sorry for myself.

The sudden collapse of Noise Revolver shook all the thoughts out of my head, and I instinctively went over to his side.

"Noise Revolver! Can you hear me?! Dude, open your eyes! Come on, wake up!!" I practically yelled, panicking. I felt a pair of hands grip my arms, pulling me away. Looking up, I saw Battery Cola with a panicked look on his face. He continued to pull me away, trying to calm me down.

"He's going to be okay, Eagle; it's just lack of food. Let him rest, we'll get him something to eat." His low voice reassured me, as he sat me down. I sighed, glancing over to him, wishing I could help.

"I've never seen you react like this... What's the matter Eagle?" He asked me, concern laced in his voice. Suddenly, a thought dawned on him.

"You like him... don't you?" He laughed, already knowing the answer. I looked down in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone... but you don't even know him! He could be a serial killer!" My eyebrow raised at that...

"Technically, we're all serial killers... I don't know what it is about him... he's just so different. He makes me curious. Agent won't let me get near him, you know how he is. Could you find stuff out about him for me? Please Cola?" I begged, hoping he would say yes.

He sighed, and nodded. I hugged him tight and thanked him.

Agent came over to me, asking me what that was all about. He looked kind of... pissed off?

"I was just making sure he okay. He's so thin. Don't you remember being like that? I just wanted to see if I could help..." I said, trailing off. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth.

"Oh right... okay. Do you wanna go to bed?" He asked, smirking.

"It's only evening?" I asked, hoping he didn't want to um... do stuff with me.

"But baby... we've been going out since 2011... Don't be like that, do you not think we should... you know..." His voice trailing off.

He was asking me to have sex with him...

I only ever wanted to do that with someone I loved, and I know I didn't love him.

-----------AUTHORS NOTE-----------

HELLO! Long chapter yay:3

So I realise this is a little fast pace at the moment, but it will slow down soon. I think I should remind y'all that this is set in 2019 so Eagle and Agent would have been dating for around 8 years.

Anyway...
