Lucy POV:
...warm...
I feel really weird...
*sleepy unwary fidgets*
Did I sleep without knowing...?
It was a hard night...
*Gentle face rub on...*
What am I sleeping in..? Feels so comfortable...
Am I..
Home?
*lazy hand rub to something hard*
This feels like an arm...
*Slow trailing down...muscle?*
This are.. Abs!?
*snaps eyes open to see her head layed on Alex's abs*
"Eeepp-!"
*Lucy jumps awake from the bed and lays afar beside to see Alex snoozing quieter than a mouse*
Normal POV:
The diclonius stated shocked with a sliver of a blush to the man who was fast asleep. She was embarrassed to have used him as a pillow after calming her nightmares down
'When did I sleep!? I don't even remember feeling sleepy!'
Alex gargled as he regained some consciousness. Lucy looked away in embarassment as she couldn't lower the blush she had
She didn't even have a slight clue why she was shy about
His eyes briefly opened, glaced over
She was a little nervous when he saw a face of dismay (for another reason) at her
"Ummm...are you okay...a-Alex?"
She looked at him
Alex raised his head minimally to get a view of her
He non-calantly looked at her without any expression, silently as if observing her if she had wounds. Then he just dropped his head and went to sleep instantly
"He's still sleeping!?" She whispered to herself, shocked that he was so sleep-deprived to just act inanimately
'Phew, almost caught me...snuggling against him'
She stood up and went to the bathroom to refresh herself
Akwardly she light stepped the carpet floor as she saw he truly deserved the sleep after dealing with her depressing BS (she hated to be emotional) and sailing the boat to safety
Inside it still amazed her how elegant it looked. She had been sulking, crying in this little room and yet it never ceased to get her attention
However the bathroom had one little inconvenience. The mirror.
Lucy looked away from it at all angles in order to never see the injuries she had. She felt as if she did, everything will come crashing down on her again
Worst off, the mirror would let her see the weak person she truly is. She blames herself of her family's tragedy day n night
She wasn't strong enough
Still isn't in her mind
But today she felt the need to look at it. She turned her head and looked at the mirror directly to her face
'I'm horrifying...'
All bandaged up she could tell the first aid did its job. Tenderly one by one Lucy took the bandages off, crumbling at touch to reveal a bloched face that belong to herself. How she hated looking at it. A shadow of her former reformed self
She ignored her eyes reflection and turned the sink on to wash her face
She was glad the badder of the wounds were gone. The most painful and disgusting ones on her neck have faded to just scabs and dried blood. Water fixed it in a matter of seconds
Lucy felt relieved to have fixed herself up. Even though now the damages were leveled drastically, she put on bandaids to cover the skin that has not yet healed to not get some infection that could make her worse
Leaving the bathroom, the cool air seemed great as it flowed through her long hair. She liked it long now...after what happened. How they cut it and used like she was a sheep, testing it in labs and what-not in order to get a key in comtrolling her kind
She could never cut it again and felt comfortable. She nodded away the stress and looked to where Alex was sleeping.
Non-surprisingly he was spread across the bed as to take the much possible space, snoring a tad louder. She sighed briefly before smiling at the unconscious sleeper
She summoned her vectors and fixed his posture plus adding the thrown covers to him. Lifting him easily she tucked him and came closer to sit beside the bed to watch his serene face as he blew into the snot bubble
'Thank you... Take a rest' she padded his head and left to the closet. She took off the sweater and pants as it got humid on the room. Heat was getting a little unbearing for wearing those two clothes so she planned to use the white dress shirt in the closet. The shirt was an XL so it was perfect as to cover her bottom like a small dress
She put it on and tied the buttons to skip her way to the kitchen. Her stomach yearned for a meal, so she prepared something to ease the hunger
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
Alex woke up with a quick bend upwards as he heard the real explosions around him.
He felt it on his very skin
'I should really not sleep too much' Alex argued to himself. He lost the somberness and looked around to find her missing
Taking the covers off, he jumped off the bed to his feet and went straight at the bathroom to look at the mirror. Not much changed... He looked at the reflection and still saw the sins of the past glued on him plus the sad face of his previous life. All the wrongs he did still alive. Except a little glee that could be seen from the usual gloomy persona he always had. He did make a change with Lucy yesterday
Maybe that's why his body made him save her. A piece of his mind told him so. He was glad he did that. He felt an ounce happier than any other day he has lived since the Manhattan incident
He smiled as he saw a new way to spend life besides seeing the evil of humanity
"A new day huh?"
He left the bathroom and went to find Lucy
He was amazed to see her on and about since yesterday but nontheless happy to Lucy's change
He walked the hallway and was glad to hear eating munches- so ever quietly on what he thought was cereal
Getting closer he found her eating a bowl of cereal in the table, looking down on it with familiarity
"You can eat it. Its not poisoned." He teased
The diclonius nodded a no "Sorry. Its just that I feel different today" she looked to him "Thank you for listening"
Alex whistled "Now that is a completely different girl than the one who broke my ribs" he took a bowl from the dish washer "Don't mention it"
Lucy smiled before continuing to eat the cereal. Alex grinned when he saw her playing with it in her mouth, as if not believing the flavor coming from it
Both finished their meals and sat down to talk about the next destination
"So... I have no idea...where we going. That's a thing" Alex confessed
Lucy looked straight at his eyes to see the truth, she was a little thrown off at the big flaw they had now in their hands "You gotta be kidding me. So we have been crossing the ocean using that sail and the motor of the boat to get to someplace unknown to us."
"Sorry! Its just that I have been an outcast myself. Not a real fan of 'Oh nooooo' and 'pew pew' whenever I make Human contact"
Lucy rolled her eyes and threw the bowl into the sink with a perfect basket backwards throw
💯
Alex gaped at that. She bonked his head using a vector to get his attention "There's no problem. All we have to do is stick together." She summarized
"Stick together?" Alex asked
Lucy flinched at that mysteriously "Is. That. A problem-?" She felt weird. Like if she was afraid of...
"No no no I just didn't think you would want to be alongside somebody. You look the lone wolf type" he answered wierdly. This was unnoticed by Lucy
"I used to." She confessed in a shaky manner "Now I just don't have it in me to go live with myself. I'm not ready"
Alex felt lighter than ever "You mean me and you form the superhuman duo to fight the injustice of the government!?" He jumped from his chair and excitedly like a kid held his fist for an anticipation of a yes
Lucy held a smirk back and kept her indifferent face on "No"
"Maybe?"
Lucy sighed
Alex creepily smiled at her, making her roll eyes on his gesture
"Maybe"
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
The duo kept talking about stuff they did as kids. Lucy shared her dark childhood to Alex who was taken in by the whole thing, curiousity being one of the many emotions he experienced as he heard the tale of her rock smashed road to what she is today
As much fun he had hearing Lucy talk, her experience just added to the rage he felt against humans. They really are the opposite of what they claim to be
Inhuman.
Then Alex told his life and the second he achieved, leaving out the whole blackwatch thing of 'they are still looking for me' aside to tell her later. She smiled seeing how much he has gone through and still kept such a good demeanor. He tolerated her for god's sake
They lost track of time at hearing each other interesting bits of life they have gained through experiences that the sails let them know they hit land very ubruptly
The lurch of the ship was harsh but manageable. Alex sped away first and headed to see the outside to find that they were indeed close to land. Close.
But that did not cause the clash
"Hey! Crashing your shit ship cost us a work day asshole!" Someone scream from the other boat
Alex looked to the deck to see 8 men pissed to the bone. Fishermen
"Sorry but we have been stranded for days now. This isn't my ship either way so if you want to arrange this with the insuran-"
Lucy walked unfarmiliarly evil as each step sounded polluted with murder could be heard until she broke into a full sprint.
Alex was going to finish his sentence until he felt a very familiar rage coming closer. He jumped aside as he felt a vector slice a poor fisher in half that layed a foot on their boat
He was cut in half and sprayed all over to the rest of the crewmembers who watched it all
"-ce" Alex finished in a whisper. His words failed him as Lucy went berserk by killing the others who reacted by fear
"YOU CAN'T RUN!!!" Lucy screeched in a mad fury, using her vectors she jumped to land behind the stragglers and the inside door to block all possibilities of escape
Alex was shocked at the massive reaction Lucy was having 'I did not think she hated them this much...'
"WWAAAAHAH!!" A man cried as he swung a pipe he got from the floor and struck Lucy. He looked all the way to see that she raised her arm to block with a vector but she made it look as if she was indestructible, making the thing coiled in her arm and shatter from the OP vector gaunlet defense
The fisherman 2 took backwards steps only to be folded the wrong way from all his joints and be plastered on the floor like mush
"Holy SHIT!!!!"
"WE GOTTA GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!"
"LET'S DI-"
Fisherman 3 was severed at the legs and flung the screaming man to the sails of Alex's 'totally rented' boat to be cut vertically in half. Alex was briefly splat by the gore, something that can't be said of the sails
"RUN!" Fisherman 8 said as he ran for it. Fisherman 4 and 5 followed until they felt their bodies levitate in the air
Before they even take a breath they were smashed together and compressed to form a dusgusting depiction of smashed cow meat in human pretense
Lucy held her hands together locked by the fingers there in the air gazing at the act of hate before turing her palms away towards fisherman 6 and 7
She gestured an explosion by pushing her hands apart. This splattered the remains into the mentioned guys with entrails, blood, and who knows what else that even Alex was left without words.
'Goddamn dis chick crazy' he said as he watched her violent breakdown against the fishermen.
They screamed in absolute fear
Who could blame them. Alex cringed as she saw the white t-shirt she had on was now marron red. However that wasn't the intriguing part. He cringed as he saw a smile of pure sadistic pleasure complete with a blush that just seemed out of place in Lucy's face
"You can't run~!" She cooed
Fisherman 7 pushed F6 to the ground and away from the path to F8, still trying to break the door to get in. Alex let him pass to watch Lucy react
F6 stumbled to the ground before being lifted to the air. She hoisted him to be right above her, smiling at the scene
"NONONONO pLease let me LI-"
Before he ended his plea, Lucy tore his limbs and head off slowly. She practically bathed on it, letting it shower her below and even actually drinking some that flowed incessantly from the corpse.
"Haaaaaahahahaha! So helpless-"
F7 (He who in bird culture did a dick move) was a step behind to follow F8, only to be heart torn as he felt something missing.
He was missing his heart quite literally, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. The poor guy was aghast to the whole situation until he felt his chest, he touched the gaping hole only to realize what she took
Alex watched her grab the floating heart into her hands and so casually grabbed it to crush it in her hands. She finished by smashing it to the ground
Alex was mouth-gapped at the brutality.
The 8th victim finally broke the door and ran into the boat's corridor in vain only to be tripped by a long reached vector.
"We are you going human?"
The poor guy barely stood up by the knee before Lucy used her vectors to jump over Alex, who watched her movements, and dashed to sit on his back. He was slammed with a force of a 1000 pounds to the ground that spilled blood off the man's mouth
Lucy grabbed his head with bloodied hands and started to smash it ot the ground "Ahahahaha! Die die die human!"
The man went limp as his head became mush that painted the impact area with red. She then stood up on the opposite side to look at the corpse, eerily her vectors tore his arms and legs to pummel the head and torso into even more of a gory sight.
She laughed and kept smashing the body until the arms and legs were part of the walls
Lucy's eyes became very unsettled as they seemed off their senses, falling to her knees to look up to the person who watched her insanity brought to life.
Alex silently stood there seeing the broken mind of Lucy. All she wanted with humans was to make them into bits and pieces. Just like her mind, she wanted to make them feel her pain.
But...
This was a little bit... Too much.
