10 - Finding Self

Quiet tears trickled down the sides of your face, and Supernova grasped your shoulders, pulling you into a warm embrace.

Once your sadness dulled, Supernova stepped back and led you into the shower. The steam immediately enveloped every inch of your form, washing away any previous disposition. Do I even remember how to shower? This heat though... so warm and comfortable... like a blanket... maybe I'll just sit here for a while. Your body slid down against the far side of the tub, and Supernova moved to sit down in front of you. The water cascaded down her head making her hair glisten even more, and the cool sheen of the stream overlaying her cosmic features made her appear heavenly. Her beauty relaxed you, letting your head to slowly rest between your knees allowing the water to gradually caress your scalp. You hung there as it dripped through your tresses. There was a soft *click*, and then a coolness poured over you. Fingers, not quite your own, massaged deep against your scalp, paying careful attention to disentangle the years dirt within your matted strands.

After a while, a hand grasped your own, pulling you to your feet to stand fully under the stream. Suds dribbled over your body, dislodging some of the dirt in their path. It was your turn now to clean. You grabbed one of the fresh bars of soap , and began to vigorously scrub every bit of your form from top to bottom. After some time, you stood back under the stream inspecting your body. Still some scuff, but a drastic improvement... I might just sit in here a while longer just to fully wet down and erase everything... We are just resting today anyways...

*CRASH CRASH THUD*

Startled by the sudden sounds of distress, you hopped out of the shower and ran to the door. Not keen on exiting yet, you yelled through the seam. "Mr. Polnareff, is everything okay out there?"

There were five worrisome seconds of silence before you heard a few footsteps stopping at the other side of the door. "Yes, everything is fine. I just... fell. Carry on!"

"Okay..." You answered wearily. "Let me know if you need any help."

There was no response, and you did not give the matter a second thought. You returned back under the cleansing stream until you finally felt completely clean. This is really refreshing.

Just as you decided to exit the shower, there was another series of crashes and thuds followed by what you assumed to be some yelling. Okay, something is definitely going down out there now. You grabbed a towel and wrapped it around your body as you crept towards the door. Again, you yelled through the crack "Are you alright out there?"

There was no response so you decided to inch open the door. Your eyes flashed around the edge to see the room in utter chaos. You mouthed a quite 'what the hell?' to express your exasperation.

You took a single step out from behind the door, and that's when you saw the body. A wretched form splayed out between the room and the hallway, and it had no face. You instinctually gagged, and had to tightly hold your mouth and stomach to fight back the retching sensation of bile creeping up your through your chest.

Fortunately, you were momentarily distracted by the sight of the silver-haired man stumbling around the corner panting heavily. As he approached you, he wheezed out "It's okay, I got him!" while holding up some mangled puppet-like figure.

You were incredulous. "Him?! What the hell happened here?"

He approached you again, bracing himself against the doorway next to you. "I was attacked!" He started by waving around the doll aggressively. "but it's all good now because I finished him off first!"

Your eyes continued to flash between his exhausted form and the room behind him. "Oh!" He exclaimed as he bent down next to body and picked something up. "And here are your clothes! You may want to put those on before security comes up to ask us about that." He gestured to the corpse, and your eyes followed. Quickly, you averted them back to the man in front of you. However, before you could process anything your vision faded away, and you passed out. 

***(A/N): Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of consistent updates. I got a little over eager once the story met up with the events of SDC and I had to take a step back to think of how I was going to make this story unique. It's still very early on, but I think I at least have a better idea now as far as tid bits and directions are concerned. We'll see how this goes!!!  

Thank you for reading!
