Golden State ( a Killjoy fanfic )

Chapter 26- Free Now

Korse looked down at the hole in his left thigh and laughed. This infuriated Siren further, and she shot again, this time straight through the chest. Once again, he just laughed.

As he slumped onto the ground, his laugh began to fade in volume, but not in malice. His face froze in a menacing smirk, and his chest started slowing in rises and falls.

Siren took three full strides over to him. She reached down and pulled his limp body up by his collar. She brought her knee up to his bullet wound, and the smirk disappeared and was replaced by a groan.

Again and again and again she repeated the action.

She then dropped him to the ground and pushed her thumb into the hole in his thigh. He screamed. The light was fading from his eyes, so she grabbed his head and made him look her in the eye.

"You killed my brother and sister. Nate was 9. Jordan was 18. They were both innocent people. They had a future, a bright future. And you fucking destroyed them."

She threw his head into the wall.

"You controlled the entire population. You killed and drugged people who were helpless. Not anymore Korse. Today it ends. You had power for 7 years. Which is a mere letter in the history of humanity." she screamed.

He gasped at this, and Siren laughed, pure hatred filling her chuckles.

"I knew I wouldnt be able to make you feel guilty, because obviously you have no conscience. But powerless, that was something I could do. Die now, you filthy bastard. Die and go straight to hell and rot and burn for a millenium."

At this, she dropped his body on the ground. His breathing came to an abrupt halt, and his mouth filled with blood. A line trickled out and over, red on the white floor of the cell.

Siren sighed, I guess he was human after all.

She then sat down, cross- legged, and began to weep. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and looked up to see Rebel Revenge standing over her. She wiped her eyes quickly and got up, hugging her tightly.

"You came for me." Rebel finally said.

"Of course I did." Siren replied.

They broke apart, and Party looked at them expectantly.

"Ready to get the hell out of here?"

Siren looked at the body slumped against the wall. "Yeah. Definitely."

Two Weeks Later

The diner was more full than it had ever been. Ten Killjoys sat around Dr. Death Defying, telling him and the newcomer the story. The Killjoy was a member of Dead Eye's team called Trophy Son. He was short and pale, and had black hair that almost graced his shoulders. His sea blue eyes looked at Dead Eye with so much admiration, Party had to turn away.

He left right after the story was finished to check on Kobra. He walked into his room and paused when he saw the grin on his brother's face.

"She woke up, just for a bit, but she woke up." Kobra said gleefully to his brother. He then turned to back to the bed, where Supernova Silence laid. She had an IV going through her arm, and gauze covered her right shoulder. She was shot in the earlier stages of the mission, and apparently before she passed out, she told Kobra that she wanted The Girl With a Thousand Words Who Never Knew How to Say Them inscripted onto her gravestone. This scared the shit out of Kobra, who hadnt left her bedside. He was barely eating or sleeping, but Party hoped that as her health improved, his would too.

Party left Nova's room for the first time in a while with a smile on his face.

When he returned to the dining area, Ghoul was saying, "So when Korse died the company just crumbled?"

Dr. Death shook his head. "Not completely. Korse never had a second in command because he didnt trust anyone to be able to think for themselves and still follow him. And a drac wouldnt exactly lead very well. But also, another group of Killjoys attacked Battery City while he was away."

"So why didnt we just help them? If we knew BL/ ind was going to fall, what was the point of rescuing Rebel?" Cyanide asked.

"One of the first things they did when they realized that they were losing was to exterminate the hostages they had." Dr. Death said.

"Well I'm glad you did then." Rebel's small voice called from the corner. Party smiled at her. Her pale frame was looking stronger everyday, and she was regaining memories with the absence of the pills. Her blue eyes were even regaining some of their spark.

The entire time they had been talking, Trophy Son had been taking notes.

"What are you doing?" Ghoul asked. He was sitting down, and Crossfire was on his lap. Trophy Son looked up from his notebook.

"Writing down what happened." he shrugged.

"Hey! Dont be so modest!" Dead Eye said to Trophy Son. He then turned to the rest of the group. "He is writing a history of the Killjoys, so future generations can know about what happened."

"Oh my god. Does that mean Im going to be in a History book?" Nuclear Siren asked.

"Yeah. Kids will be dreading the fact that they have their biography on Nuclear Siren due in two days." Ghoul said.

Everyone laughed at that, and Party noticed Dead Eye taking Trophy Son's hand. He smiled to himself.

He was surrounded with people he loved. Who he knew would always look out for him. And now, he didnt have to worry about one of them getting ghosted by some drac. It felt amazing. They were free.

Party couldnt sleep that night. He crawled out of bed and found that he was alone. He walked out of the room and down the hallway, opened the door and walked up the stairs.

He saw her shadow there, looking out over the sand dunes. He sat down next to her, and she crawled into his lap.

"I love you, Gerard." Siren said.

He looked down at her in shock.

"Well what's the point of the Killjoy names? We dont have to hide anymore." she said. He nodded.

"I know that, but Im surprised to hear you say the other thing."

"What? That I love you?"

He nodded.

"Well, its true."

He kissed the top of her head. "I love you too, Alisa." She smiled. They sat like that for a while, looking over the golden sand. The golden sand that covered the state- their new golden state.
