Onyx: Stories From Midtown

Chapter 20 - time to say goodbye.

Packing her bags was the most stressful and emotional thing onyx ever had to do, but there was something else she had to do. "I'll be back soon; I need to go and say my goodbyes to my friends." She yelled up the stair realising she still had the speed core on her hand. She realised there was no going back, and she kept it on to make the trips to each place and person faster. First, she went to the adoption centre to say her goodbye to Olivia. Olivia watched a grey and green streak sped through the town and then inside the building. She left the room and she ran downstairs to see onyx standing there but something was different about her.

Her eyes where slit into green and grey with a dividing line going diagonally. Her ponytail had a green tip at the end of it, her fingernails where green and she was looking upset. "what's wrong?" Olivia asked "I'm moving out today. I just wanted to say goodbye for now. I don't know how long I'll be gone but I will be back. I just wanted to thank you for what you've done for me. You may not realise it but when you showed up being completely different, it made me realise that change can be a good thing. It helped me continue when I felt I was too far gone." She said braking into tears. Oliva just walked over and hugged her "I know." She responded as she let out a few tears. "I'm goanna miss you, just don't be a stranger." "I don't think I could if I tried." Onyx responded giving a small smile.

She then moved onto the redeemed friend. She didn't bother knocking on the door, instead she stuck herself on the wall and she climbed up it like a massed spider themed, superhero. She knocked on the window and he opened the door. "so, you're moving away today, aren't you?" "how did you know?" "you would do this for another reason." He responded. "I just wanted to thank you for helping me find everyone, to be honest, without you pushing me I don't think I would have made it through. Weather you realised it or not, you helped me in a big way." "you helped me to, you helped me realise that I needed to change for my own sake." Ted responded having a smile while onyx had tears flowing down the side of her face, her powers didn't seem to affect her tears.

She then went to the apartment complex where most of the rest of her friends where. "are you ok, why did you call us all down here?" Brian asked "I'm moving away later today, and I wanted to say goodbye to all of you. I wanted to thank you too Jessica for helping me understand just how far I had come, I wanted to thank Elizbeth for giving Gwen a 6th chance at love and through sticking through it. I wanted to thank Amy for just being an all-around grate person and I wanted to thank Brian for working at the adoption centre, you have no idea hominy lives you are saving and making better by doing that." She said filled with tears of happiness. "and Elizbeth, look out for her." She said before speeding off.

She went to the final and hardest stop she had, her best friend and someone who was like a sister to her. She knocked on the door and she tried to not tear up. "hey onyx, what's up?" Gwen asked upon opining the door and onyx let her emotions win. She was so filled with sadness that she started inverting. "woah, what's wrong." Gwen asked again. "I'm moving away today, and I just wanted to say goodbye, but I don't know how to say goodbye to my own sister." She said, barely making it understandable. "oh, I'm don't know how I'm meant to react to this." Gwen responded. "I just wanted to give you something." Onyx said handing her the keys to the house and the interdimensional communicator.

"what are these?" Gwen asked tearing up. "this is so that you can still talk to me and these are the keys to my house, there's no on I trust more with my house then you." Onyx explained. "I want to give you something as well." Gwen said handing over a flag, it had a pattern of black, grey, white and purple in that order, horizontally. "remember to take pride in who you are." Gwen responded giving onyx a hug that felt like it was going to kill onyx. "I don't know when, but I will find a way to be able to visit. "onyx said letting go and getting ready to leave when Gwen asked, "can you take me to see you off, I want to be able to say goodbye for the last time in a while." Onyx just nodded and grabbed her hand.

She ran them back to the house and they waited for pearl to arrive. It only took a few minutes for pearl to arrive. "you ready to go?" onyx asked, "Shure am, I guess she had the same idea of seeing us off?" "you know she did." Onyx responded. They went into the bunker used the gloves and opened the portal. "see you soon." Gwen said. "I hope so." Onyx responded walking through the portal.
