Toxic Radiation {Kobra Kid FF}

*Toxic Radiation's POV*

I came back from my little drac run expecting the diner to be burning, but it was perfectly fine. I guess I'm just paranoid.

I walked in the diner with sweat pouring down my face. The diner was quiet. Too quiet. I walked down the narrow hallway and noticed everyone's doors were closed. "Uhh, Party? Kobra?" I asked. "Yeah?" Kobra asked, popping his head out of his door. I sighed in relief. "I just thought that since you guys were quiet you guys were dead. It's usually not quiet in here" I said. "Tell me about it. I've known all of these guys since middle school" Kobra chuckled.

"Party! Where'd you put my mask?!" Ghoul yelled from his room. "I didn't take it!" Party yelled back. I sighed and watched as the two bickered about a stupid reason. "I'm too tired for this shit. Wake me if you need me" I said, walking into my room. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.

Everyone I knew and loved was either dead on the floor or were being killed by a single Drac. It seemed to be a woman, as it had curves and was shorter than the average male. The female drac laughed evilly as she killed my father. She then stalked up to Kobra. "Kobra! No!" I screamed, tears pouring down my face. "Babe, don't do this! I thought you loved me!" He yelled, backing up. Babe? A drac? The thought of it made my heart drop at the thought of Kobra being a traitor and dating one of our enemies. She shot Kobra's heart a couple of times and chuckled evilly while swiftly taking off her mask. I gasped at what I saw. I was the traitor.

"Toxic! Wake up, you'll be okay!"  I heard someone say. I opened my eyes and saw I was in Kobra's arms, bawling my eyes out. "What's wrong?" He asked once I calmed down. "It was just a silly nightmare" I said. "It obviously wasn't if it was affecting you this bad. Do you wanna talk about it" he said. I shook my head. "Just drop it for right now. I'd like to talk to someone else about this too" I said. He nodded and stared at me for a few seconds. He smiled at me and walked out of my room.

I took a deep breath and walked into the main area. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. I then realized that I didn't have my mask on. "Don't stare at me like that" I said, glaring at them. They all looked away and I sighed. My radio buzzed and I took it out of my pocket.

"5 drac cars were spotted in zone three and another killjoy was ghosted. It was said to be... Toxic Radiation-" I turned it off and laughed. "He thinks I'm dead! Haha" I said. "Toxic, this could be good. Blind has never seen you, so they think that the best killjoy is dead!" Ghoul exclaimed. "Oh, believe me. They know that wasn't me. I've run into them more than once and I never want to do it again. I have to go and tell Gracie that I'm okay. She's probably crying her eyes out right now" I said, grabbing my ray gun.

I walked out to the car, followed by the four boys. "Jet, you can drive. I don't feel like it" I said, sitting in the back. Kobra and Ghoul sat next to me and I laid my head back, sighing in content. I was starting to enjoy these boys' company and I know I'll have to leave eventually, but it's nice to have fun at the moment. Kobra pulled me closer to him and I opened my eyes, looking up at him. "I have to ask you a question later" he whispered. I nodded and he smiled at me.

We pulled up to Dr. Death's place and got out. I trailed behind the guys, thinking on how to apologize. "You boys have a lot of guys coming out here after you let my daughter die" Dr. Death said. "What? Wait... hold on. She's right here!" Party said. I walked out. "Wh-what? You're not dead?!" He asked. "You seriously think I would let those retards kill me? Ha! Not a chance" I said. Dad smiled.

"Wait... how come we saw your car and charred body in zone three?" Show Pony asked. "This chick named Rainbow Assassin stole my car and ran away, that must have been her" I said. "Wait... Rainbow Assassin... that was Grace's mother" Show Pony said. My jaw dropped. "Oh shit... wait, how do you know?" I asked. "Research" is all he said. "Speaking of Grace... isn't that the reason we came here?" Ghoul asked, looking bored. "Yeah... where is she?" I asked. "She's been crying ever since we found that body" Dad said. I nodded and walked into her room.

"Hey Gracie.." I said quietly, sitting on her bed. "Go away, Pony" she sniffed. "So I sound like Show Pony now?" I asked. She turned around. "Toxic!" She yelled, hugging me. "Hey kiddo!" I said, hugging her back. "I'm so glad you're okay!" She said. "I would never let those dweebs kill me. I'll always be there for you, no matter what" I said. She smiled. "Are we ever going to defeat Blind?" She asked, frowning. "We will, kid. I'll make sure of that" I said. Kobra walked in.

"Hi Kobra!" Grace yelled, running up to him and hugging him. "Hey Gracie. Can I talk to Toxic alone for a bit?" He asked. She nodded and ran out to join Party.

"So... I-I was wondering.... since we're so close now... uh.." he trailed off. "Spit it out, love" I said. He took a deep breath. "Toxic... I was wondering if you would want to be my girlfriend?" He asked.
