{9}Just Us

🌻Chapter 9🌻
Just Us (Against The World)

      It was finally the weekend, I could relax and eat some sweet potato pie and just chill with my Auntie.
"Hey Auntie!" I hugged her.
"Sup, sugar rush?"
"I'm cool, how 'bout you?"
"The daily process, injections, sleep.. What you waitin' out here for?
Get your butt on inside." She opened the door and let me in.
"I saw you on the news."
"Yeah, I know. People won't stop trolling my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They're even showing up at my workplace. My workplace, Aunt Dede, workplace!!"
"Then why don't you leave?"
"Um, hello? They pay good money."
"Okay, Miss Independent."
"So, Desirée, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, I feel a little stronger now."
"Have you taken your daily shot?"
"Yeah, I have."
"Do you think this insulin is working?"
"I'm sure it is.."
      "I was thinking about having a talk with your doctor about changing your insulin to something of higher quality, since I can afford it."
"Okay, what day?"  
"Whenever I'm available." I took her weak hands in mine and stared at her with raw determination.
"Dede, I promise you, everything is going to be okay. I'm saving money to buy you better insulin, the nurse's twenty-four hour services and the mortgage for this house."
     "Sweetie, don't stir the pot before it boils. You don't have to-"
"Yes I do! When it comes to your health and well being it is worth every single breath of my body."
"If your mother could see you now," Desirée looked at me with teary eyes, "she would've thought twice about.."
"Thought twice about what now?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Well, I'm gonna go work and fulfill my promise."
I hugged her and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Alright, sugar rush. I'll see you next week."
"Yeah, later." I left.
"I think you should tell her." Evelyn sat next to Desiree and said.
"I know.."

🌻🌻🌻

    The sun just began to set over New York City as I walked through the not so crowded streets.

"Don't you find it suspicious what Desirée said? Something about your mother thinking twice? About what, exactly?"

"How should I know? It's not like I knew her!"

"Oh boy.."

"What is it, Vice?"

"Look at that billboard. Don't you think she looks like you?"

     I looked at the billboard, it is a famous model from right here in Brooklyn. Skin of caramel, hair of wool, her lips thick and full and her eyes as dark as coffee as her hand held up a natural product as she was an ambassador for the Nappy Movement in Brooklyn. I admired her, but somehow, I feel connected to her. Like I know her.

"I have a strong feeling about her.."

"About what?"

"About her being your mother."

I stopped walking, "My mother was murdered when I was very young. So I doubt she's what you say she is."

"Sorry for thinking that. How about a heist? That'll take your mind off of it."

"Sure." You walked into an alleyway and allow Vice to consume your being.

"What we gonna do?"

"To the science lab where I came from. I'm going to destroy the rest of symbiotes they have, don't want to risk having more Venoms do you?"

"Do it."

   Vice broke the ground as she boosted herself up, taking to the skies as her bat wings sprung out her back. It was like the world stopped for a moment as we reached our highest peek, we turned down next to a plane. The passengers snapped pictures even though they're not supposed to be using their phones.
   Vice allowed us to fall, our eyes closed, devil smile, wind lashing against our skin. She spread her wings open, stopping us from falling then she zoomed over the street, the strength of our wings turning over a few cars.
At times like these, I let Vice take full control. Forgetting my problems and my past. Forgetting the obvious and the unknown.

"Back against the wall, middle fingers in the air."

We broke through the walls,  the scientists stopped what they were doing and pulled out their guns.

"It's Vice, protect the samples!"

"Bustin' through the crowd they gone feel me now. Straight shooting from the air, yeah we navigating so we get down to the bottom."

As they began firing, we zipped toward them, bearing claws longer than Wolverine's. Piercing through the air like a bullet, we clawed at them all.

"Got 99 problems but you ain't one."

"Ahh!" One charged at me with a needle, Vice picked him up by the neck and just looked at him, smiling.

"Been so high lately, I don't care who's goin' down"

"No, no no no.." He begged as well lifted him closer to our mouth.

"You could see it in my eyes, he been hitting it right
Got me wishing that he wasn't, oh no"

He was swallowed whole. Vice tapped her chest,

"And I need it all night
Will love show me what it feels like?
F*ck that, I let you pull up on me broad day light."

"Got a little heartburn there.."

"Shots over here, fuck the other side
We don't gotta lay low, we grown"

We simply shrugged and moved on, using the ID we took from one of the doctors.

"A field trip and I don't need no chaperone
I'm tryna get ghost
Oh, oh"

Vice broke the containers that they were captive in and consumed them.

"It's just us against the world, in this life of sin."

"By doing this, we get their abilities. Ohh, invisiblity.."

"Ain't nobody gonna take us out, it's always us. Never them.."

   Vice and I went invisible for a moment, breaking open more containment chambers and eating them all.

"It's just us against the world, When the smoke clears.."

We killed a few more scientists and stopped to take a look at what we've done.

"All we got is all we got
It's always us, never them."

All the cameras were destroyed, except for one in the far corner to the left. We leapt toward it and stared into the lense, smiling before punching its lights out.
