They’ll Regret That Too...

VI - Miserable Asshat of the West (TBR)

"Noah, motherfucking, Rictorshine!" Shouted the voice behind, and Noah instantly knew who came knocking. He turned around to find his best, and only friends had burst through the backstage doors, infuriated.

"What the, who are these guys?" Rainbow Dash asked, scratching her forehead with her forefinger. "They're my friends, my very dumb friends." Manex walked straight up to Noah, angry was an understatement. "Why in God's name are you here with these weird-asses?! Especially Sunwhore!"

"Wait just a minute, are y’all talkin' 'bout Sunset?" Applejack asked, and Jain responded. "Yeah, her! Not only that, but you were fucking up on stage with these sluts?"

"Whoa, who the heck do you think you're talking to?!" Rainbow replied, irritated. "You, dumbass! What are you deaf!?" CJ replied. "Guys, relax-"

"If you barbarians insult us once more, I assure you, things are gonna get ugly!" Rarity warned, and fire building up within her eyes. "Oh do tell, what the fuck are you gonna do? Throw lipgloss at us?" Jain replied, getting all up in Rarity's face. "Now y’all better back off, you can't just barge in here looking for a fight! But if yer askin', I'll gladly give ya one!" Applejack also warned.

"Nigga, shut up! You Alabama head-ass bitch! I bet you fucked your own sister before you got here!" CJ responded, getting all up in Applejack's face like Jain did to Rarity. Applejack's face grew red with pure rage just as Rarity's did.

"Wow, I guess we'll be kicking your butt instead, not like I got a problem with that!" Rainbow Dash added, stepping in and cracking her knuckles. "Fuckin' bet, I bet your homo ass can't even throw a goddamn punch!" Manex replied, also getting all up in Rainbow Dash's face similar to his friends.

"Wha- I'm not gay! What the heck!?" Rainbow Dash replied, undeniably furious. "Motherfucker, you're hair is a goddamn rainbow! How the hell are you gonna deny shit?!" Manex responded.

This situation was getting out of hand, and Noah knew without their powers, the Rainbooms would get beaten to a pulp. "Enough!" Noah shouted, separating the two groups from a fight breaking out right behind the curtains.

"Guys, I know you have questions, I get it. Why the hell did I ditch y'all for these guys, especially Sunset after what she's done," Noah started, Sunset holding her shoulder in guilt. "But it's for a damn good reason my niggas, y'all and I both know that." Noah's friends eased up, they knew deep down he'd never abandon them.

"Remember when I showed you how my necklace had glowed and brought us here? Well, look!" Noah pulled his necklace from out of his back pocket, it was glowing heavily. "The same aura that brought us here is somehow connected to the Rainbooms. I don't know why, but if it is for the same reason that we even met, then it's damn well important!"

Noah's friends stared in awe, they hadn't seen that glow in a long time. "So listen to me, they are not your enemy, especially her." Noah pointed to Sunset and put away his necklace. "We all know she was a total douchebag, but I swear when I say this, she's changed! We don't have to forgive her for what she's done, she hasn't done her redeeming act, so relax."

Sunset didn't smile, but she also didn't frown. It's better than what they called me, I guess. But what does he mean redeeming act? Sunset thought.

"Look, once this is all cleared up, they won't have to worry about my bitchy ass around, and we can go back to being the Black Five." The Rainbooms looked at each other with sympathy. They knew Noah indeed was a pain, but they could tell he had a heart, and that's much better than what they used to think of him.

"But until then," Noah continued, "I have to finish this. So bear with me when I say this: go home. I'll give you the go-ahead when we're done, but until then, stay home, and stay together. Shit's gonna get real ugly if what I think has to do with the Sirens is true."

Noah's friends stared at Noah, then at each other. "Are you talking about the Dazzlings?" CJ asked, and Noah answered. "Yeah, but they're actually called the Sirens. It's a damn long story, but basically, they're ass-wipes that need to be dealt with. Trust me when I say this." Noah's friends nodded.

"Hey uh, where the fuck is Fall? Wouldn't he be upset and shit that I was onstage with his old bully's friends?"

"Fall didn't come with us," Manex answered, "He said he'll just stay back because he knew that you'd never do him wrong without a hella good reason." Noah smirked and crossed his arms, "At least he's smart."

"Oh go fuck yourself," Jain replied. "Isn't there anything we can do to help? Maybe stop the Sirens from winning the auditions?" CJ asked, there must be something we can do. "Oh without a doubt, but the abilities of the Sirens would throw you off task or just stop you altogether."

"Perhaps they could learn some-"

"Rarity, shut the fuck up. I'll do the goddamn talking, you just stand there and be fancy." Noah stopped, interrupting Rarity before she could make the situation graver than it already is.

The temporarily incomplete Black Five finally decided to go along with Noah's wishes. "Alright, we'll go. You better fuck those Sirens up," Jain said.

"That's the plan, they won't be walking away in one piece," Noah replied. Noah's friends all grinned while the Rainbooms grew concerned. "Godspeed asshole, we'll see ya later," CJ replied as they all began to exit the backstage.

"Oh, hold on a second," Manex stopped. "Are we just gonna throw that thousand dollar prize down the drain now?" Noah rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, see, what happened was... there was no prize. I lied."

Noah's friends' faces grew white with disbelief. "Don't worry, the next five heists we do, I'll take ten percent of it."

"Ten you goddamn cuck!" CJ demanded. "Alright, alright. Fuckin' christ, I just wanted to do something fun," Noah replied. "My nigga, we're black! Everything we do is fun!" Jain replied. "Jain, we're not even sure if you're half black. Just get the fuck outta here," Noah responded.

"Man, fuck you. We're outta here," Jain responded. "Don't fuck this up!" Manex yelled from down the hall as the three of 'em left. Now, Noah was once again alone with the Rainbooms plus Sunset.

"Well, uh... You certainly have some... interesting friends. I don't even know how you guys are friends considering how much you guys yell at each other," Twilight spoke up.

"You're the Princess of Friendship, you figure it out. Either way, it doesn't matter. What matters right now is that y'all get your shit together for the rest of these auditions."

"He's right," Sunset added, "You all need to find a place to practice where the Sirens can't hear you. I'll keep an eye on things around here."

Applejack smiled, "Good idea, and Noah, ah don't think the song we played was awful at all, it was amazin' and worked perfectly. But ah think the Rainbooms should play the songs they've written from the heart, so we'll be doin' our own songs with Rainbow as lead singer." Rainbow Dash did a double fist-pump hearing this.

"You should keep an eye on things here with Sunset. Yer quite the formidable figure, so you'd be a great help to Sunset if it comes to it, especially with the Sirens."

"Good copy, we'll get it done," Noah replied. He then turned to Sunset, "C'mon, we're oscar mike." Rarity tilted her head, "What do those mean?"

"Look it up." Noah and Sunset then exited backstage, but Rarity called out to Noah. "But I didn't even look up the last thing you told me!" From far down the hall, Noah responded, "That's not my problem!"

Noah and Sunset sat outside the gymnasium's main entryway. Noah scrolled a social media site and stopped to watch comical videos unbeknownst to the fact that Sunset was peeking over and watching the videos as well.

Bored of the silence, Sunset decided to strike up a conversation. "So, if it isn't too touchy a subject, how'd you meet your friends?" Noah turned off his phone and thought for a quick second. "At an orphanage."

Sunset's face grew concerned, "An... orphanage? Noah, you don't have parents? What happened?" Noah shrugged, "Eh, I don't really wanna talk about it. You said not a touchy subject but, that's something that quickly leans towards a very shitty touchy subject. So what else do you have in mind, kid?

"Uh... where'd you get McFly?" Noah crossed his arms, "Also leans towards a touchy subject. Try something else." Sunset itched her chin, "What about..."

"Well, well, if it isn't the tour guides." Noah turned from Sunset to see who had spoken. "Oh for fuck's sake," he replied, instantly irritated. It was the Sirens, specifically Adagio who had spoken.

Sunset stood up, "You're never gonna get away with this." Adagio smirked, "Why, Because you didn't?" Sunset's face grew gloomy. "Listen fuckfaces, why don't you just step off before I beat the shit out of you before you even have a chance to become an actual threat to the planet. And drop the shit about Sunset, she's not a dick-twist like you, anymore at least."

"And then there's you, the outsider." Noah grew disconcerted, "Oh yes, we know you're not from here, oh heavens no. You're from that one country called America, right?"

"How the fuck do you know that? You tell me right the hell now how you know that!" Noah replied, anger building. The Sirens giggled like little demonic girls. "Oh it's quite obvious, you think we stayed around Equis this whole time?"

"Yeah, we traveled the world! I mean, it's not as cool as Equestria, it's actually quite dull," Sonata added. Traveled the world? Wait... no fuckin' way, Noah thought. "But... if you traveled the world... and you gain power from negative energy, then..."

"We may be responsible for stuff that's happened in your world? Well... maybe a little," Aria replied.
Noah grew cold.

"No..."

Adagio laughed as they got closer and closer to Noah. "Well honestly, it's not our fault you're all so destructive. We just played around a little, made things go from north to south quite easily."

"No..."

The Sirens surrounded Noah and revolved around him. "I mean, we just suggest a few things, do this and that, all of a sudden, planes are hitting buildings, bombs are blowing during marathons, and people with odd-looking mustaches start gassing people with a smile on their face.

"No..."

Adagio continued, "I mean, how can your people be so simple-minded that we say a couple of things, and wars erupt between nations and millions of lives are wasted for something that didn't even matter in the long run. They even dropped a giant bomb on innocent people! Is it really our fault?"

Noah's vision blurred as tears began to well up in his eyes. He didn't even try to hold them in. "I mean honestly, the human race is pathetically gullible. They even dropped a building on a park because Sonata said it'd be cool."

"You heartless monsters!! You put a stupid fucking spell on them!! You wasted billions of lives for your stupid goddamn negative energy!!" Noah's voice cracked as tears began dropping like bombs, he was breaking at an uncontrollable rate.

"The wars, the terrorist attacks, the massacres, the bombings, the shootings, every horrid act was all your doing!! Oh God!!"

Noah fell to his knees and held his head as the worst news a man could ever receive flooded his head tortuously. He couldn't breathe, he was gasping for air as his throat opened and closed every few seconds.

"The families you tore, the families you ended!! I knew you cunts had something to do with it!!" The Sirens stared, they were playing with Noah's emotions, but they didn't anticipate Noah to crack like an egg. "What's got him so upset?" Aria questioned.

"You killed my parents!! You killed my friends!! You ended everyone I ever loved because you thought it'd be cool!! Goddamn you!! You fuckin' murderers!!"

"O—h... Well, at least it was cool," Sonata replied. Noah slammed his left fist continuously into the floor until an ear-piercing snap left his hand, and he couldn't feel it anymore. "I... I..." Noah couldn't speak, not a single word could escape his mouth as he juggled the news in his head with a fork and spoon.

"Well, you won't have to worry about any more calamities like those as once we have this energy, everyone will bow before us. You have my word," Adagio finished. She then gestured to her sisters to follow as they entered the gym.

"You'll pay in blood, you have my word," Noah replied before they could close the door. Feeling uneasy, The Sirens didn't reply and closed the entryway doors behind them.
Sunset was frozen.

For the longest time, she had known Noah as this unbreakable figure that came to this school at the same time she did. No matter what she pulled, no matter what she said, Noah always prevailed like nothing happened.

She began to wonder if everything she ever did was meaningless as Noah never showed any signs of slowing down.

When she destroyed his laptop with a sledgehammer, it did nothing. When she burned his bookbag and belongings, it did nothing. Even when she pushed his closest friend to the very edge of taking his own life, it did nothing.

All of a sudden, a horrendous truth is revealed by monsters, and he breaks down like he has nothing left to cherish, to love. Everyone he ever held close to him, gone because someone thought it'd be cool. It was heartbreaking.

"Noah, I..." Sunset didn't know what to say, not a thing left her mouth as if it'd grown dry out in the desert. She gently approached him, terribly shocked and sympathetic.

He laid limply on the school floor, a small pool of blood surrounding his left hand, and a tiny pool of tears surrounding his head. He didn't hear her, he couldn't even see straight as the tears were overflowing. A pain he'd felt longer and worse than Sunset could ever conceive.

She crouched next to him to see his face, he continued to sob like an abandoned child. "Hey... we've gotta get you to the nurse. You gotta get up," Sunset serenely spoke, afraid to make the situation worse in any possible way.

"Come on, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get you to the nurse's offices, and she's gonna patch you up. But we've gotta move from here before someone sees. And without a camera system, it won't be pretty."

"I can't. Please... just let me go," he replied. Sunset frowned and tried to lift him. "You know I can't do that. We have to move, now." Noah's sobbing slowed to a simple cry. "I don't wanna live. I wanna see my mother again. I wanna see my father again. I wanna see my love again. Please, just let me go."

"But if I let you go, who's gonna give the Sirens what they deserve? You and I both know the Rainbooms don't have it in them to kill the Sirens. If anyone's gonna avenge your loved ones, and an enormous chunk of humanity, it's you."

Noah's crying slowed to slight sniffles. "But I... I..." Sunset delicately gripped his face with her hands. "The Rainbooms will rid them of their powers, and you can deliver the finishing blow, victorious.”

Noah remained limp for a while longer, thinking deeply. Finally, he decided to stand up and wipe his face clean. "W-Wait, don't do that. Your shirt will get messy."

"Sunset, I don't give a flying f-fuck," Noah replied, weakly. "I-It's already covered in blood. I-I'll just change at the nurse's office." Sunset shrugged, "I guess that'll work. C'mon, we gotta patch you up. I think you broke your hand and a few fingers."

Slowly, Sunset and Noah sauntered to the nurse's office. Noah's arm over Sunset's shoulder as she did most of the work.

Sunset grabbed the doorknob to the nurse's office and groaned in annoyance. "It's locked. I don’t think she’s here," Sunset spoke up, but Noah replied with silence, and she grew even more concerned.

She looked to him to see he was barely conscious. Oh no, he's losing so much blood. How much damage did he do to his hand for this to happen? Sunset thought.

She looked at his hand again, then at Noah, then at the door. I guess I have no choice. Carefully, Sunset laid Noah against the nearby wall and took off her boot. Aiming for the perfect spot with said boot, Sunset broke the nurse's windowpane, stuck her hand through the broken window, and unlocked the door.

Thank Celestia we don't have cameras.

She walked back over to Noah, who's hand had quickly made another small puddle around itself. She lifted him up and held him around her shoulder. "Come on, we're almost there," Noah once again did not reply, but he did groan. A sign he was still somewhat conscious.

They entered the nurse's office and Sunset quickly laid him down on one of the beds. It was unquestionably hard, but she did it regardless. Once he was settled, Sunset hastily searched all over the nurse's office for some type of bandage to wrap around Noah's hand.

She opened one of the cabinets and found two rolls of compression bandages, but they were on the top shelf.

"Mother-...darn it," Sunset nearly shouted. She climbed up on the countertop and stood on her knees. With one hand holding her in place, she steadily reached for one of the bandages and grabbed it.

"Yes!" She whispered, triumphant. She then cautiously climbed down the countertop and approached Noah. Another pool of blood? Oh Celestia, this is bad. Sunset thought, growing ever more worried.

She then lifted Noah's hand and began wrapping it with the bandage. Sunset wrapped and wrapped until she couldn't see any more blood, but that also meant Noah's entire hand looked maimed.

Once she did that, she grabbed some nearby tissues, wetted them in warm water, and cleaned around Noah's hand.

She had gone through eight tissues when Noah's hand was fully cleaned. Then, she grabbed some more tissues and cleaned off Noah's face as he didn't clean it himself very well.

"Ah... done... I'll just let him rest till he wakes up. Hopefully Twilight and the others can make it through to the finals."

Sunset left his bedside and searched the nurse's office for a chair. She found a crimson one in the waiting room. She picked up the chair and carried it back to Noah's bedside.

She placed the chair to his left and sat down. "Might as well take a seat," Sunset thought aloud. But before she sat, she looked at Noah.

He was unconscious, but he still looked like he was in agony. Sunset looked around the nurse's office and noticed a storage closet. She stepped over to it and opened it to find multiple blankets and heating pads. Perfect, she thought.

She grabbed a warm and heavy white comforter, walked back over to Noah, and covered him with it. Sunset looked back at him, it didn't seem to have made a physical change, but the Nurse's office is cold, and she wouldn't want him to freeze while he slept.

Speaking of cold, Sunset returned to the closet and grabbed a simple blanket to wrap around herself. She then returned to the chair at Noah's bedside, sat down, and wondered aloud.

"How ironic is this? Just two months ago, I burned your bookbag. Now I'm sitting next to you after tending to your broken hand. Life is so strange sometimes."

Sunset continued to stare. Then with one arm, she hugged Noah as he slept. "Not like that's a bad thing though." She then laid her head against the closest side of the bed and fell asleep herself.

"Not a bad thing at all."

THREE HOURS LATER
...

Noah slowly opened his eyes and finally awaked. He groggily looked around to find himself inside the school's nurse's office. "What... what the hell happened?" He said softly.

He looked down at his chest to find a girl's arm wrapped around him. He turned to see whose arm it was to find it was Sunset's. "Holy shit... what the fuck?"

He tried to wake Sunset up with his broken hand, but he found it was bandaged up to the point where he couldn't even recognize it as part of the human body.

"She... tended to me?" Noah wondered. "I thought she was gonna wake me up... or at most help me, but... this?"

Noah looked around the entire nurse's office to find everything out of place. The cabinets and drawers were left open. The tissue box was on the floor. The closet was also left open and had blankets fallen out of. The facet was steadily running, the bandages had rolled onto the floor, Sunset's right boot was laying on the ground, and he could've sworn he saw shards of broken glass.

"What did she do?" Noah wondered, confused as to why she went through so much trouble to care for him. He looked over to her, it was faint, but it was unmistakably there, and it left Noah bewildered. Two tear stains trailed down Sunset's cheeks and created two tiny stains on the bed.

Noah was left speechless, no way was this the same Sunset. The Sunset he knew never cried, well, except for that one time at the Fall Formal. "Hey..." Noah said, trying to wake her up.

"Sunset... wake the fuck up. C'mon, the Battle of the Bands could be over right now, and a janitor could show up perplexed."

Sunset didn't move one inch, she continued to lay motionless and sleep peacefully. "Sunset!" Noah whisper-shouted. It seemed to have gotten Sunset's attention as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Wha... what... wha-what, what is it?" Sunset mumbled. "Rise and shine, kid. You did damn good," Noah replied. Sunset looked around and the first thing she noticed was her left arm wrapped around his chest, gripping tightly.

She pulled it away immediately, afraid. "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to that! I must've moved when I fell asleep!"

"It's alright," Noah responded, "What matters right now is that we get outta here. I'm a somewhat heavy sleeper, so the Battle of the Bands has probably ended by now."
Sunset reached into her right pocket and pulled out her phone.

"Nope, it's only 6:56. We've still got time." Noah sat up, "Oh wow, guess we didn't miss the whole goddamn thing." Sunset placed her hands in her lap.

"Noah, this may not be the best thing you wanna talk about right now, and you can deny it if you want, but. Can you tell me how you got here? Why you're here in the first place, actually?"

Noah laid back and stared at the ceiling. "Story of my life," he whispered. "Well, I guess we've got time before the finals start. It all happened a while ago, three years to be exact.”

”September Twenty-Fifth, 2017, my birthday. We were having this chill-ass birthday party with all my friends and family. You know, parents talk with other parents. The kids would do kid shit, and the teens would do teen shit. America was on the watch for a terrorist group called Al-Qatala that threatened them just the day before."

"I'd received a gift from my father, a fifty caliber handgun dubbed the Desert Eagle with a chrome finish. He said he bought the gun the day my oldest brother was born and was giving it to me as Nicholas was gone. It was an emotional moment, but I was also thrilled. My first gun, and it was the most powerful in the world."

"But the fuckin' thing was empty. Luckily, there was a weapons store just east of the park, and I'd decided to go get some ammo with my birthday money. If I'd known what would happen that damn day, I would've pushed everyone at that park straight to the gun store along with me, but I didn't."

Sunset focused intensely on Noah, she then noticed something on his face. He was crying again.

"And then, once I reloaded the gun, the store clerk cursed and pointed out the glass door. I rushed out to find that an enormous office building was collapsing like a damn pillow fort. Once I realized where it was headin', I screamed like an old man who just witnessed a massacre."

"The building covered the entire fuckin' park in metal and destruction. I was petrified, I couldn't feel my own breath, I couldn't feel jackshit. I was... there, but the world went around me as everyone panicked, horrified.”

”The last thing I remember was fainting right on the sidewalk, but before I did, the very last thing I saw were three figures sitting on top of a nearby building. One had fuckin' popcorn in their hands. Finally, I know who those three figures were."

"I... lost... everything that day. And so did many others. The attack was on the news, on the internet, it was just, everywhere. For months I couldn't escape that damn attack. I kept seeing it, I kept reliving it in multiple nightmares. I just couldn't take it.”

“I didn't become depressed, instead, I developed serious anger issues. Like holy shit, I flipped every flat thing I could find. While in the hospital from fainting on the sidewalk, I shouted in the middle of nights and nurses would have to rush in to treat me. To calm me down, get a hold of me. I was insane."

"Once I had recovered from my injury, I heard them talking about sending me to foster care. No way in hell was I gonna have another mother love me besides my own, so I snuck out. I'd planned it for a week as they were gonna send me the at the end of it, and I escaped successfully."

"I didn't really know what to do once I left, so I hopped on a nearby truck and fell asleep. The next day, I awoke at a wings restaurant, still in the truck. I sat up and looked around to find I was in the middle of nowhere. The only thing I saw besides the restaurant was an old broken down orphanage.”

“I walked up to the sign, it read: Lily's Home For The Forgotten & Abandonded. How fuckin' fitting."

"I entered the orphanage to find four dumbass kids eating some knockoff cereal at a long table. I was confused, where were the caretakers? Where was Lily? Turns out, Lily had died in her sleep a year ago, and the kids all left except for these four.

“Because of shit I didn't truly care for, the orphanage was still receiving supplies, apparently, taxes just weren't a thing there. Long story short, I made friends with the kids, Manex, Jain, CJ, and Fall, over the course of four months."

"At the end of the fourth month, I had suggested that we leave the shitty orphanage, and find somewhere new. I mainly told them this as my necklace began to glow for the first time in my life, and towards somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.”

“We did a lot of illegal shit, but nobody got hurt. Stealing a car, robbing a couple of small stores, pissing on a cop's cruiser, and stealing a boat. Once we were in the boat, we set sail for where the necklace pointed to, but we had no idea it would lead us to a giant-ass island."

"Apparently, I was the only one who'd seen it, and since my friends didn't believe me, they went there just to bring me down. We lost hope of anything once we realized how fuckin' dumb we were to steal a boat and sail into the ocean. For all we know, we could be heading towards cold-ass Antarctica.”

“But once I could see some buildings, we warped through what seemed to be some type of barrier, and all of my friends saw the island. It was huge, little did we know that island was as large as half of fuckin' Russia."

"We landed on the island and looked for civilization, but we were dumbfounded at what we saw. People of all types of colors and large eyes. They weren't abnormal to humans, but they didn't look normal either. We snuck around the city until we found a bus that was heading to... uh... Canterlot! That's where, this stupid-ass town.”

“We hopped on the bus for free as the driver learned it was our first time. Seemingly, we didn't look too different from the people here, so they didn't see a huge difference."

"We stayed on the bus until we reached the town, and we got down to business. We were lucky, how many people could have been lost at sea unbeknownst to this large-ass barrier world?”

“Another long story short, we established ourselves within the town and signed up for a school, Canterlot Highschool, that was very difficult to do without it being discovered that we didn't have parents. We had to use costumes and shit to appear as parents. It was fuckin' awful."

"And now, three years later, we're here," Noah sighed as he finally finished his tale.

"Wow," Sunset replied, in awe. "I had no idea your journey was so... intense. That must've been why you broke down in the hallway, everything that happened from then to now was because a monster thought it'd be cool to drop a building on a thousand people. Noah, I'm... I'm so sorry for everything I've done. I just saw you as a rival, but there's so much more to you then... then... myself."

"It's alright Sunset, I've been through hell and back so it wasn't a big deal to me. I won't lie, I didn't deserve it, and neither did my friends. But you were so broken as well, it's a wonder why I didn't feel empathy."

Sunset shook her head, "No! Noah, you went through so much more! I just had friendship problems, I didn't lose everything I had! I feel wretched, like a true nightmare."

"Relax Sunset, that shit's all in the past now, and I believe it. Right now, we gotta get back to Battle of the Bands before shit hits the fan without us." Sunset nodded and stood up, "Right, let's get a move on. Can you walk?"

"Sunset, I broke my hand. I didn't lose my legs in Vietnam, of course I can walk." Sunset giggled, "Right, right. I'm just still worried from how you were merely hours ago."

Noah laughed a single laugh, "Unless I was screeching in my sleep and having seizures, I'm fine." Noah then got out of the bed and walked over to the main door, Sunset following behind.

"Jesus Christ, you actually broke the nurse's window?" Noah asked, comically puzzled. "I had to get you in somehow. You were creating blood pools and trails everywhere we went!"

Noah chuckled, "Yeah, that sounds about right. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad. I actually think it's badass."

Sunset blushed, "Y-Yeah, thank you." Noah patted her shoulder and opened the door. "Don't mention it, kid." Noah and Sunset then began down the hall, gradually starting to run.

Sunset asked from beside him, "Hey, what's Vietnam?" Noah smirked, "Another thing the Sirens are gonna regret."

(Please leave a comment. I enjoy reading what you have to say.)
