The Rejected Killjoys

Take Me From The Hospital Bed

Party Poison's POV
I couldn't be getting feelings for them. After everything that I've done to them. I am not deserving of their forgiveness and I know they don't have the capacity to love me. All those things I've said to them and their friends. They will never forget what we did to them. Fun Ghoul tried to stop us and I think they knew that because they aren't as critical of him as they are of the rest of us. I was so mean because I like them and didn't want to appear weak. Compared to them I am weak, they were so strong, they didn't let getting shot stop them from carrying someone and running down the stairs. But even when they collapsed they still tried to struggle. They were afraid of us because of what we did. They probably wouldn't have told anyone they got shot until Toxic had gotten some basic treatment. I knew that Vintage would take care of them first I see the way he looks at them. Almost looks at them with longing. But they will never forgive me for what I did. They aren't someone who forgives easily over things like that. Looking back on it, I wish I could take back everything we did to them since the day we first came across them. "You okay bro, you seem stressed and distraught about something. I noticed it when Killer got shot, everything okay?" Kobra asked me clearly worried. I know nothing gets past Kobra, I mean nothing ever gets past my brother so there was no point in hiding it from him. He can keep a secrets too, I guess it's something that arose from us being so close as kids. "I think I might have taken a liking to Killer. I know the reason they can never like me back is for what I did to her. I drove away someone who could have been a friend and maybe something more. I hate myself for what I was back then. I hate myself for still being so mean to them. I am an awful person." I confided with him with tears streaming down my face. "They are an extraordinary person." He said honestly. We stayed in silence until we heard Killer scream. "Fuck!"

Killer Dream's POV
I don't care if he likes me. I will never forgive that bastard for what he and his friends did to me. I will always hurt from it and I will always have a fear of him.
Flashback
I've been wandering out here for days. My food has run out and so has my water. I never took any of the pills and I didn't think they noticed until they came to my house. My friend TJ always taught me that those pills never work or they come at a price. I took other pills but realized they were making me to similar to the people on happy pills. I wasn't going to lie to people about who I was anymore. I ran that night they came. TJ was the one who held them back so I could run. Did I feel bad for leaving him to die? Quite truthfully I didn't but I guess that's just one pmore of the things that is part of my fucked up mind. I heard the shot that killed him. It still rings in my ears but I never slowed down once, he told me to keep running out into The Zones and find the killjoys before I left him to die. Now here I am in the desert dying. I see car coming towards me. I duck behind a rock hoping they don't see me. It could be BL/ind, I will not go back into Battery City, but of course my luck has gone to shit now so they noticed me. I press myself against the rock. I was scared but it's not like they would care. I hear car doors slam and footsteps coming towards me. I curl up into a ball trying to defend myself in some way. I hear footsteps stop behind the rock. Then two pairs of footsteps on either side of me and then one stops in front of me. "Shit."I thought to myself."They have me cornered." I let out a whimper. I felt a hand touch my cheek so I quickly jolt away and try to slap it away. Someone catches my wrist and puts it behind my back doing the same with the other. I try to struggle but when there is 4 against a tired, scrawny, hungry, and dehydrated 20 year old there is not much you can do. I start to scream and kick. I felt someone put their hand over my mouth so I wouldn't be heard. I fell limp as tears start to roll down my cheeks. "Party! Kobra! Jet! Stop! You're scaring her." I voice says behind me. I open my eyes for the first time and see the 4 guys. I turn as a voice behind me speaks softly and notice he is about my age,"I'm Fun Ghoul. Afro over there is Jet Star. Red hair over there is Party Poison. Over there in the red jacket is Kobra Kid. What's your name?" The one I now know as Fun Ghoul asked me. "Just please leave me be." I whisper. "We can't do that sugar and we're going to have to call you something." Party Poison said slightly annoyed. I thought for a moment back to when TJ told me if you ever make out outside Battery City don't use your real name go by a fake one. "Killer Dream, you can call me Killer Dream." I told them with fake confidence. "How about we take her to Dr. Death Defying." Jet Star suggested. "Not a bad idea."Kobra Kid replied. "W-who is that. It doesn't matter. I won't come with you. I'll be fine." I replied in defiance. "Don't worry he won't hurt you." Fun Ghoul told me softly. "No! I said I'm not coming." I yelled. "Fine we'll leave you here then." Party Poison said smugly. "We can't leave them here. They'll die if we leave them here. So they are coming with us." Fun Ghoul said sternly to Party Poison. "I SAID NO!" I screamed. They all just nodded like they knew something I didn't. They surrounded me so that I couldn't escape. I felt some pressure on my arm and then blacked out. When I woke up I was strapped to a bed. I started to scream and kick. Soon a man in a wheelchair came in. "I see you are awake." The man said. "What's it to you." I told him bitterly. "I think I'm going to have Party Poison's team look after you." He said. "No, not that son of a bitch." I told him in disbelief. "I am Doctor Death Defying." He told me. "That's just great. I end up in the place that I specifically said that I didn't want to go." I told him sarcastically. Then he left. After a few months I began to trust them and I got over the fact they practically kidnapped me. I never quite forgave them for it. Then a year later, the day everything changed came. We were out on patrol and came across some dracs. We thought there wasn't many but we were wrong. We were all at gunpoint and they told them that if they gave me to them that they would be able to leave. "Don't leave me. I can't go back there." I told them desperately. "Take them." Party said with a smirk on his face. Kobra had the same smirk. Jet face held no expression but he didn't object. Ghoul had a look of sorrow and disbelief. He opened his mouth of protest but Party interrupted him. "We'll go then." He clearly had no regrets with his decision. He let me go just like that. I spent the next few months tortured for information. I just wanted to die but they weren't done with me. I began to lose hope but then I remembered TJ the one who did everything to get me out. He wanted to die that I knew but he made sure that his death would help someone. I wasn't going to let him down. I gathered what little strength I had and got out. I knew how to move about stealthily so I didn't get caught. I was nearing the exit when I heard so dracs coming. They figured out I was gone. I looked quickly and found a secret hatch leading down to some tunnels. I wandered through the tunnels till I found one that lead up to Zone 5, where Dr. D was. Luck was not on my side. I saw the Trans AM and it was coming straight for me. They saw me I tried to run but the car came up and stopped and soon someone's hands wrapped around my waist and my hands and feet were tied. They then dragged me to the Trans AM. I didn't know who was dragging me. I fell limp, I no longer had the energy to fight. I began to cry I didn't want to see them ever again. I didn't want to be near any of them again. Once they got me into the Trans AM, Party then stared at me with a smirk. "You are going to pretend that we didn't just give you up. You are also going to act like we saved you." Party told me sternly. "No. Everyone will know what you did to me." I told him bitterly. "If you don't do as he says we will give you right back to BL/ind." Kobra threatened me. I would never go back to that. It was hell back there and it's not something I'd happily go through again. I wouldn't let it happen to me again on my watch. So I nodded and acted to everyone else like everything was okay. When I recovered from my injuries Dr. D asked me if I could join The Fabulous Killjoys. "Who would want to join a bunch of stuck up assholes." I curtly replied.
End of Flashback.
The Killer Dream they once knew is gone and they aren't coming back.

Cinderblock Garden's POV
I looked at Toxic while holding his hand. I was crying that he went through this. I felt hands wrap around me and I cuddle into them. "It will be alright." A voice I recognized as Killer cooed. "Will it?" I ask with uncertainty. "Of course it will. We made sure they would be fine before Vintage left. They said reassuringly. I couldn't help but smile. I lean back into their arms. "I hope that he will be okay." I say worriedly. "They are going to be just fine." Killer assures me. "Promise." I ask. "I promise." I look into Killer's eyes and see them deep in thought almost as if they had seen it all. "What's up Killer. I can tell that something is up with that look in your eyes." I ask them, genuinely curious. "I don't want to talk about it right now." They tell me obviously troubled. "Okay Killer. Just if you need to talk about anything I'm right here." I tell them. We give each other space and if one of us doesn't want to tell the other something, we know we have our reasons. Suddenly the beeping of the machines changes. I open my eyes and Toxic is just waking up. He looks so fragile and pale. I hug him, not wanting to ever let go. Killer goes and gets Vintage and Dr. D. I'm back together with him once more.

Authors Note: Holy fuck this was about twice as long as my other chapters but consider it a gift my friends.
