Cherry Bomb [Killjoy-My Chemical Romance fan fiction]

Four Fabulous Killjoys

First killjoy book. Yay! I haven't read the comics yet. (Please don't hate me) so if I get some of the information wrong please tell me. Hopefully I get the first comic soon. But for now please enjoy ^^! By the way I don't own anything but the plot and Cherry!

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound of the leaky faucet was basically the beat of my life right now. Slow and melodic. And that's how it was in Battery City. I stood in the kitchen of my one bedroom apartment that was close to the edge of town. I made some of my everyday Power Pup for breakfast. It was lonely being one of the non-drugged people in Battery City. I was all alone. A killjoy left behind with no way out. Sometimes it made me sad thinking about it but I was sure I was going to get out of this city, or die trying. I threw away the rest of my uneaten breakfast, grabbed my bag and went on my way to work for Better Living Ind. See, in this town no one got to chose where they work, or chose anything for that matter. When Korse came into power everything went wack. Some people started taking pills that made there minds mush, and the people who didn't became Killjoys or dead from the Dracs. Before I left the apartment I did a quick hair check. No red hair sticking out, no problem. I can't get caught with it or I'd be gone for good. I closed the door quietly behind me and made my way downstairs. There were only a few mindless people walking the halls today. No one waved and said hello or had a smile. It was like the zombie apocalypse but less blood and brains. I had always taken the same route to work but I felt extremely tried of the same thing so I took a left instead of my usually right. This brings me closer to the tunnels leading out of the city. These places are usually crawling with Dracs of duty but it seems quiet today.
As I walk along the side walk I see a odd shape tarp. Being curious and bored I walk quietly over to it. As I step closer into the dim alleyway I can clearly see its a shape of a car. I lift up the tarp without hesitation and there it is.
A car not just any car, a killjoy car. I can finally escape Battery City. I make my way around the car but stop in midstep as I feel something press into my back.
"One more step and I pull." I freeze in shock. "Hands up, turn around and tell my your name." I do as the voice says and raise my shaking hands. I turn and come face to face with a red hair, yellow masked man. I look at him in shock. I finally found my freedom and now it's pointing a gun at me.
"C-C-Cherry Bomb." I stutter.
"Killjoy?" He questions. I nod fearing he wouldn't believe me. I quickly grab my wig and pull it off to show him my brightly colored hair but my hair gets caught in it and I end up pulling my hair almost out of my head.
"Ow ow ow." As I stumble to the side almost tripping over my own two feet. I look over to see his reaction and trying hard not to laugh but I can see the corner of his lips twitch. My face becomes almost the color of my hair out of embarrassment and I carefully pull my hair out of the wig.
"I was trying to show you I was a killjoy." I stammer nervously fiddling with the wig in my hand.
"I can see you are one but why are you in the City?"
"I couldn't escape in time. This has been my only chance for a while to escape."
"Hmm, wait here. " He walks past and behind the car. I see three more heads pop up from behind the car. One with an afro of hair, one with longish black hair and one with blonde hair. The blonde one wasn't too bad looking either. As they all whisper to each other I see the taking glances over at me. Blondie looking just a second longer than the others. I blush with all the attention and look away from them. I know they are talking about me and I hate it. I don't want to be the center of attention I just want to get out of this city. I see redhead nod and walk my way.
"You wanna get outta here right?" he questions me.  I nod again feeling over come by the presence of a killjoy. "Hop in fast but we don't have much time."
"Okay." I say quietly but inside I was bursting with joy. I was so happy I could of cried and I almost was. At that point I could careless about my boring clothes and items from my apartment. I had my bag with kept my most valuable thing. My notebook. I follow him to the car which is now fully uncovered. I get into the back seat between Afro and Blondie. I guess never getting to talk to anyone with a working brain in the last 5 years makes my social skills awful. I sit in the back as the redhead starts the car. He takes off speeding out of the ally and takes a sharp right, the friction causing me to lean into Blondie. I don't say anything or look up at him even though I'm totally invading his personal bubble. The silence of the car makes it ten times more awkward as we make our way to the tunnels. We aren't far and we're getting closer by the second. As soon as we enter into the tunnels my heart swells with relief. I've finally made it out. I could become an official killjoy. I quickly snap to reality the car the black haired guy speaks up from the front.
"Since I'm guessing Party over here didn't introduce you to any of us, so I'll take on the responsibility. I'm Fun Ghoul." He says pointing to himself. "Redhead over there is Party Poison. The guy with the Afro is Jet Star and Blondie is Kobra Kid. We're are the four fabulous killjoys." He says kindly. I look around as he says there names. They all give me warm smiles and hellos greeting me to my new life.
"I'm Cherry Bomb." I say quietly introducing myself. I get little 'nice to meet you' from each of them. It goes back to being quiet so Party turns on the radio blaring some radio station. It sounded amazing to hear real music again. This is the most I've felt alive in a long time. And I could get use to it. I sit back and get comfortable for the ride as the four make small talk among themselves. All talk relatively loud except for Kobra. He seems quiet but super sweet. As we made our way along he leans over to me and quietly says "Glad you could come with us. I like you hair." I look over at him but he's doesn't look over to me. I go back to looking forward but before I do I say a small "Thank you."
