The Rejected Killjoys

Apologies and What the Future Holds

Killer Dreams POV
I was watching over Toxic with Cinderblock on my lap but she fell asleep an hour ago. Toxic was still asleep from when we had to sedate him to run some tests. Vintage and Poison were looking at those right now. Dr. D and Show Pony have left. I had my arms around Cinderblock's waist and held her close to me. Seeing Toxic like that reminded me of when I was taken by Korse something I never wanted to relive. I know that it changed me but I don't know if Toxic was there long enough to have a drastic effect on his personality. I will help him as best as I can. I am going to suggest that their team stays here for a while so I can help Toxic recover. I hear a door open and turn around to see The Fabulous Four. "Can we talk to you alone?" Fun Ghoul asks me while scratching his neck. "Sure let me wake up Cinderblock." I tell them while shaking Cinderblock. They leave to wait outside for me. "What?" She asks groggily. "I need you to watch over Toxic for a few minutes while I go out." I ask her. "Ok." She says. I let out a breathe of relief for her not pressing for details. I get up and meet them outside. "So what is it." I say impatiently. "We're sorry Killer." Party says. I stare at him in shock. "So after four years I finally get an apology. Impressive." I say sarcastically. It's one of the ways I cope with difficult situation. "I just want to know that you won't give up on anyone else. That's how you can make it up to me. Oh and by the way Fun Ghoul I know you had no part in abandoning me and thanks for apologizing to me when I was recovering from my injuries." I tell them while beginning to walk away. "You were awake for that?" He asked, shock clearly written on his face. "I was awake for a lot of stuff." I tell him with a smirk as I walk into Toxic's room.

Time Skip 2 months
Toxic has healed from his injuries but his team had decided to stay with us. It was safer and it was nice having other people rather than guys all the time. Right now me and Amphetamine were heading out to Dr. D. We sometimes went just to do the radio and hang out alone. We also go to meet a lot of other killjoys and see our friends. We had just arrived at Dr. D's when we saw a familiar car. "Isn't that The Fabulous Four's car." Amphetamine asked looking slightly pissed. "Why are you mad at them? Don't say it's nothing because I picked up on it a while back." I demand of him. "I know they abandoned you and that it led to you being hurt." He tells me honestly. "Oh. I figured. Don't think that I hadn't noticed that you were becoming protective over me. I picked up on you watching me." I tell him nonchalantly. His jaw drops. I started walking towards the building with a smirk. "Oh and by the way, they apologized, but I can safely say I only forgive Fun Ghoul because he took no part in it." I say as I walked into the building. He runs to not have the door closed on him. "Hello bitches." I say with a smirk on my face. I then notice a little girl with them. "And who might you be little one." I say sweetly kneeling down and bopping her on the nose. She giggles. "This is Grace." Ghoul says with a smile on his face. "Well how about Grace hangs with Amphetamine while me and you guys talk." I say while making sure Amphetamine understood what I was hinting towards. He nods and goes off with Grace to help Dr. D with the broadcast. "You better not give up on that girl because I swear to the rising sun I will kill you. I will not let someone else go through what I did." I tell them seriously. "We will die before we let them take her." Party assures me. "She is so young. Don't let anything happen to her. I already had to go through the pain of all the memories after seeing Toxic. I don't want to have it again." I tell them desperately. "We should go make sure she is alright." Kobra says beginning to walk away. "Knowing Amphetamine, he is probably just teaching her a few chords on the guitar. She'll be fine." I tell them. I walk towards where Amphetamine and Grace walked off.

Vintage Apocalypse's POV
"Come on Toxic you have to take these pills. You won't get any better if you don't." I try to coax Toxic. Killer had left with Amphetamine to go to Dr. D's leaving me in charge of giving Toxic his pills for his mental state. He was lgetting panic attacks and having night terrors. How Killer came across these is a mystery to me. Everyone else is busy doing other things. "I'm fine. Nothing is wrong with me." Toxic tries to tell me. "I can hear you screaming every night and I can tell when you're struggling to breathe and your heart rate is accelerating so don't try to lie to me." I tell him sternly. I know it will be at least 4 hours before Killer is back. "Why won't you take your pills?" I ask him. "What if they were from BL/ind? What if they could track my location? I can't go back." They say clearly scared and they begin to cry. "Hey, hey. Calm down Toxic. Breathe. How long have you not been taking them?" I ask them defeatedly. "A week." He replies shyly. I remember what Killer told me before they left. They said they had noticed Toxic wasn't taking his medications and to get him to take one. I walk out of the room to radio Killer. "Killer can you hear me." I ask through the transmitter. "Yeah what's up?" They ask. "Toxic won't take his medication. I've tried to get him but he is refusing. What should I do?" I explain to them. "I am going to be honest with you and I want you to tell him this as well. Those "medications" they take are a mixture of calming herbs. The ones he takes in the morning are calming herbs and the ones at night he takes are herbs that make you have a dreamless sleep. I knew there was something I was forgetting to tell you." They explain to me cracking up. "Ha. Ha.Very funny." I say sarcastically. I get off the transmitter. I go back into Toxic's room. "Apparently there was no actual medication, Toxic. It was actually just herbs. The day time ones were calming herbs and the night time ones were herbs that make you have a dreamless sleep." I tell them bluntly. He has his mouth open in shock. "Will you take them now?" I plead with him. "Alright." He says defeatedly. I give him the pill. He ask for water, so I give it to him and he swallows it. "Come on now we can do something fun. So what do you want to do?" I ask. "Can we get some lunch. I am starving." He states. "Sure." I tell him.
