A New Uprising

Chapter 3: Happy at last

??? pov:

I finally found the bathroom, walking into it I look around. cream walls and tan tiled flooring. perfect. the exact image of my old hell hole. I though chuckling and looking in the mirror. stripping off my top and pants locking the door behind me. and slowly stepping into the shower once I removed my bra and panties. sighing I turned on the water not bothering to turn on the hot water and only keeping it cold. running my fingers thru my hair getting it completely soaked.

I hear the running water and sit up. I then look around and giggle "Couldn't leave the place in disrepair huh?" I ask as I get off the bed and turn my phone on. I look outside and smile "Today was a nice day." I tell myself while memories on how the city looked before the "Detonation of the Old Empire" happened. I sigh remembering the pain I had to go through to get my powers. I smile "I really need to forget that day, focus on the future." I say which causes me to cheer up. I head into the kitchen and pull out several ingredients for dinner "She's going to love this." I tell myself as I ignite the repaired stove.

feeling the cold water help with my joints and overworked muscles. reminding me of my past. flashbacks run through my mind. being tortured for years and always more expected of me. everything they told me to do I obeyed like a fucking dog. the missions they send me on, the people they had me kill... I can't forget them. there past. there future. I shake being snapped out of my trance by my screams. tears pouring out of my eyes. 'why did it have to be me?' I asked aloud.

I cook for a few minutes until I hear her screaming which is then followed by quiet sobbing. I couldn't help but stop whatever I was doing to simply go see if she was alright. I lower the intensity of the burner and begin making my way to the restroom door, my weary face showing only concern, and a mall hint of sadness as I remember when I last heard her cry. {It was when we 1st talked about Angel being in captivity. I really couldn't bring myself to see her in that state of disrepair. From that day on, I made a promise to her, that until I saw her smile, my mission would truly be complete.} I think to myself as I stand before the bathroom door and knock "Hey, is everything ok?" I ask with a trembling voice as I wait for her to respond.

I sniffle a bit and get out drying myself off with a summoned gust of wind. getting dressed and opening the door to look at jay. "yeah, I'm fine. just the waters cold"

Jay's P.O.V

I look into her eyes and sign "Alright then, but if you have something you want to let out, don't hesitate to come and talk to me." I solemnly tell her as I float back into the kitchen. I let out a small sigh as my feet touch the ground {Her eyes told me something different...they tell me of someone who is sad and lives with regret, but what did she do to feel such pain?} I mentally ask myself as I go back to cooking.

??? POV

I hate doing this, having these memories. but that's what made me stronger. and what's made me who I am. Maximum Layla Willowsin. and ill be damned if this brings me down. I smirk and walk with him to the kitchen determination in my eyes. I will steal a bite I will. gotta be incognitoooo. I bite my lip and swoop in from behind.

Jay's P.O.V

"Huh?" escapes my lips as I feel Max swoop in from behind me. I turn to face her to see a mischievous smirk painted across her face. {Crap, when a girl has that face it usually means they have something in mind} I mentally warn myself. I look into her eyes "Max, w-what are you doing?" I nervously ask her.
