Lighting: Captain Boomerang

Stolen Heart

If there was nothing I hated more than woke up in the middle of the day its... Actually... No that's it.

The kid was gone but that was to be expected. Cake wouldn't be able to hold him long.

"Come on sleepy head. We need a plan of attack."

I flicked Cake off and she jumped on me.

"Get up. Get up!"

"Uimh! Fuck Off." (No.)

"Don't use that tone with me." She warned hitting me with pillow.

"Now get up. I made breakfast and yo- Nevermind...Get up!"

I rolled over onto the floor taking a pillow with me and just laid there. A violent shiver went through me and I stood up wrapping myself in a blanket. The lights in her house were bright and blinded me.

Food wafted through the house and I felt myself moving faster towards the island.

Sitting at the island, Cake pushed a plate over to me but before I crushed every particle of food. I noticed the open space.

"Where's Boomer?"

Flipping more pancakes she pointed to a closed door. I assumed it was his room and went back to eating.

It burned my tongue and tastebuds but, it also keep me warm.

When the door opened I couldn't help but stare. Not obviously but still I was staring.

Cake gently nudged me simling and wagging her eyebrows. I shook my head.

"So... What's the plan?" She asked once Digger was all settled and eating.

"For what?" He asked.

"For saving your friends."

"Oh yeah... I've been thinking about that." I said butting in

"So Whatcha got?."

" I'm thinking that I just leave. I hardly even know them. And I was kidnapped and forced to even come here. I'm finding the hotest thing outta here and you're coming with me." I pointed my fork at Cake and Digger held a can of beer up. A sign that he agreed with me.

"What!No. You can't leave. You have to save them."

"I have to save those close to me and myself. You and I. That's it. I'm a "villain"."

I told her putting air quotes up.

"And what's that mean?"

"We... Don't save people. We normally put them in danger."

"So you're just going leave them for dead... Or whatever the Plague is going to do to them?"

"Not my people... Not my problem."

Cake scoffed,"Digger?"

" I've been trying to get out of that hell hole for a year now. I'm going home, love."

He gluped his beer and went back to eating. I looked up and smirked at Cake.

She shook her natural hair and all the doors slammed shut. Her bright eyes darkened and the shades went haywire.

Digger dropped to the ground hiding under the island still with the beer.

"Cool story." I said without shifting my weight in the chair.

"Ga- Jinx! This could be your one chance to do something good."

"Who said I wanted to do anything good?"
