(Eddward)

After four days of being in my head my other self finally needed his space and let me take control. And I have to agree with him on this new Kevin and unfortunately with both sides of Stephen, all three are very clingy and touchy.

Told you so.

With a tired sigh I managed to tune in my surroundings. The other Kevin was about to drop a centipede down Stephen's shirt.
"Mr Barr I must ask you to refrain from doing such a task." I spoke up alerting both the offender and target.
Stephen glared and slapped him with a glove.
"Tis that the way to respect thine escort ye philistine?"

Kevin threw the insect in another direction while rubbing the reddening mark. "Relax it was only one."

"Where are we Stephen?" I asked looking around. It must have be night time with the lack of light from the sewer caps.
"Yea Bones, where the hell are we?" Kevin rephrased my question.

Stephen turned with a smile on his sullen features. "We are close to were I found Kevin unconscious after the unfortunate incident with his hand." he answered.

I lowered my head guiltily about the incident. It may not have actually been me but it was me no matter what anyone says.
An arm wrapped around my shoulders.
I looked up to Kevin's sad smile. "No one blames you Eddward." he said resting his forehead against mine. "So relax and don't blame yourself."

Punch him! Get him away!

I didn't move or pull away I was caught by his jade colored eyes. It was comforting being close to him.
I was quickly pulled from him into Stephen's arms. I looked up at him but his steel eyes glared at Kevin. The redhead glared back firmly.
"Ye will respect another's treasure will ye not?" Stephen asked in a low, angrily calm tone.

"He didn't seem to dislike it." A sly smirk revealed itself on the redhead.
Stephen tightened his grip on me causing light pain over over my ribs. I cringed against the ache but made no sound.

Then there was an echoed sound. Like something heavy was dropped.
"Hello?" another echo followed. I perked up at the familiar voice. Kevin did as well.

"Johnny?" The redhead muttered questioningly.
I was released much to my everlasting relief.

"Anyone there?" Johnny's voice echoed. "I'm looking for a couple of friends."

Kevin ran off to the source of the echoes, I followed behind quickly.
"Johnny!" Kevin called through the dark.

"Kevin?" a beam of light flashed our way, blinding the both of us temporarily. "And Double D?"

"Am I glad to see you." Kevin panted. "How did you find us?"

"When neither of you answered my message or met me at the garage I got worried and asked around. Apparently Edd went home and you followed the next day so I waited a two weeks before deciding to come after you two." the bald teen explained. "But when I came to the residence no one has seen you two for days. ' Just poof' they said at least until I talked to Double D's caretaker. She begged me not to follow saying you'll be back any day. I waited another two weeks at my house for you guys. Not a word."

"Sorry about that Johnny bad reception down here and Eddward lost his communicator." Kevin smiled awkwardly.

"We've been down here a month?" I asked.

"Kevin called you Eddward?" Johnny questioned looking his friend up and down. "What happened to your hand?!"

The redhead hid the nub behind his back quickly, "It's a long story and right now I could use a shower, hot meal, and an actual bed."
