Captain sat at a table, the blue hadnât faded from his left eye yet. His hand still shook from the adrenaline this body gave him. Order sipped from her squidberry banana smoothie cautiously. They always ordered their drink ahead of time. Pilot drilled her eyes into the ground. Both of them didnât want to draw attention to Captainâs new eye. And if anyone else was smart, they wouldnât ask either.
Swimmer smiled, coming to the table with his and Captainâs drink. He didnât notice. âCherry limeade for me, a starfruit melon for Pilot. A blueberry squidleg-grape for- Oh-â Swimmer looked at Captainâs blue eye. âHi,â He mumbled, inching Captainâs drink closer to him. âHi.â Captain stared at his drink. He stirred it with his straw in this limp, tired way.
Order was the first to speak, âYou know them?â
Captain looked away from Order, mumbling something that mightâve been a yes? He loved avoiding honest answers, not like Captain who was more often truthful than lying.
âNot a fan of them. Theyâre childish and they donât take things seriously. Not a fan. The random idiot with goggles especially,â Captain took a sip of his drink. Swimmer chuckled awkwardly. Things always got so tense when he was around. And it was usually Swimmerâs job to lighten the mood. Even though he sucked at it. âIs this him speaking or Captain? Cause I donât think Captainâs ever seen Team Blue before.â

Captain didnât answer that one. The blue in his eye flickered painfully. He was quick to cover it, grunting. âHhg- feels like a needle being threaded through my eye and in between the folds in my brain..â
Swimmer patted Captainâs back, âIâd be saying you need to learn to control him but I have a feeling at this point thereâs no point to that?â Captain sighed, twirling his blue dapple in his hand, âIf it were up to me, I wouldnât even have him in me.â
Captainâs eye flickered blue, causing another bout of pain for him, âHa! Thatâs a laugh. If it were up to you, youâd be a rotting corpse on top of those parking lots, idiot. Remember, Captain, I saved you.â
Swimmer caught Captainâs arm before he could argue, simply shaking his head at him. Captain stood from his seat, his drink only half empty. âIs everyone done with their drinks? We gotta go train. Right now. Especially with our strategy.â
