I landed with a sickening thud onto the sidewalk. The air rushed out of my body as I gasped like a fish out of water.
I let out a small cry as I just stared up at the night sky that greeted me.
I could clearly see city buildings crowding the sky, "Mother-" I mutter as I roll over at my eyes meet the hard concrete sidewalk.
Just awesome.
I hold back the tears of sheer pain that are racking my body right now and slowly stand up. At least this time I still had clothes on.
I knew where I was like the back of my hand, hell I'd grown up on these streets. I was home, downtown. On 3rd.
Right ... infront ... of -
The payphone next to me started to ring loudly.
My eyes shot around to the empty city around me. No one was walking on the streets, everything was completely silent.
Odd.
The phone rang again.
Mind as well.
I quickly brought the phone to my ear, "Hello?" I whispered into the receiver.
"Katrina."
My eyes searched around in confusion, "This is she" I reply back.
Silence. "ITS ME YOU DUMBASS!" I quickly yanked the phone away from my ear as the yelling made my skull rattle.
I winced, definitely a 60-40 chance he was still angry about what happened.
I pursed my lips, "Hey Blue ... so ... what are you up to?" I asked.
I heard hard mouth breathing through the phone, and then a watched in wonder as lightning flashed angrily across the sky.
"Katrina. Justice." he spit out over the receiver. I winced from the sheer anger the rolled off his tongue.
"You've said and done some of the stupidest shit I've ever seen. Ever. But I never would have thought that you were the stupidest shit I'd ever met!" he growled.
I glanced around nervously, I knew my words would have repercussions, and I should have been prepared for the passive aggressive anger.
"...I'm guessing you're probably feeling some type of way about what was said in our little Phil of the Future episode, but to be fair .... those baby names were adorable" I coughed out.
Utter silence.
Did he hang up?
There was a sinister laugh, true deranged, anger, villainous laugh that popped through the phone. "Katrina I'm going to kill you. I am going to slit your throat, bottle it up, and sell it to children as Kool-aid. Then I'm going to chop up your organs and go to a park and throw them at people. Katrina fucking Justice you make me insane. I am literally going insane! I WILL NOT BE THE REASON YOU DIE, YOU INGRATE!" he bellowed over the phone.
I chewed on my lip, "Well you did just go into great detail about how you would murder me-".
"I'm going to break all your fucking fingers" he hissed.
Literally where does he get this shit from?
"Blue-"
"Rip every single strain of your hair out of your head one at a time!" he growled out.
I rolled my eyes, "Blake-"
"Rip the fucking nipples from your body!" he raged.
That one made me pause, then snap, "Listen you dented lamp, we are in def-con level 5 shit. I get that you're pissy because I ... supported my maybe pregnancy, but it takes two to tango bitch. Instead of yelling at me, maybe you should work on your pull out game. Now can you please stop being a bitch and tell me where the hell I am, and where the fuck you are?" I yelled at him.
Silence.
I breathed out heavily.
He sighed, "There it is" he muttered.
"What?" I yelled back at him confused.
"The only fucking reason I keep you alive" he sighed annoyed through the phone. "Sexy af when you yell at me" he groaned.
I bit down my smile, as I rolled my eyes, "You are sick. You realize that?" I sighed.
"You like it"
"Where am I?" I asked exasperated.
"In front of Dun Inc." he answered back.
I squinted, "How do you know that?" I asked as my eyes connected with the large building he owned.
"Because I'm squatting in a bush outside your house, under your window like a fucking stalker. I'm where you are in the future, and you are where I am in the future. I knew I would be at work" he quickly stated.
"Oh shit" I muttered back to him.
"Exactly now walk your ass down here to your house" he quickly demanded.
I looked up at the sky as I played with the cord on the phone, "Or you could come fly and get me" he stated in a duh tone.
"My powers are gone" he spit.
My jaw dropped, "Oh shit, so you mean to tell me that my life expectance just went down to 20%?!" I cry out.
"20%?"
"Yea! Dumb ass you were the only thing keeping me alive. Oh God, I feel naked" I whispered to him.
He didn't speak for a second, "What was your life expectancy before?"
"Solid 86%" I quickly tell him.
"Pathetic"
My jaw dropped, "Don't be mad at me because you can't perform at the moment. Your just mad since you can't Superman your ass here" I snapped back.
"Coming from the ignorant gnat that's still living with her parents that's priceless" he hissed.
"So what! What have you got?"
"If you stopped sniffing your ass for die second and look up you'd see my billion dollar company. You toad" he gloated.
I pouted. He had me there. "Whatever. You still can't get it up. Literally" I smirked as I heard his growl through the phone.
"Just get your fat ass down here, I don't have time for-"
"Katrina? Katrina Justice? Is that you?" a voice called from behind my shoulder.
I knew that voice anywhere. Shit.
I tensed, "Who's that?" Blue asked from over the phone.
"You, moron! Oh God what should I do?!" I hissed in panic.
"Just don't turn aroun-"
"I've got an idea!" I cut him off.
"No. It's a terrible one! Don't fucking do i-"
I quickly turned around to face future Blue, the phone still connected to my ear. My jaw dropped. If I thought Blue was sexy now ... well my panties just disintegrated from the sight in front of me.
He actually gets more attractive.
You think its not possible, but I'm staring at the proof.
He was damn near twice his size, muscles bulging and clearly visible in his suit. A suit. His jaw was sharp, slight facial hair covered it, but you could easily tell that he could cut glass with his jaw line.
He had let his hair grow out, luscious curls sprouted from his head. He had tried to sweep the back, but it was obvious, his greek roots clearly showed from the glorious hair on his head.
I could easily spend my days running my hands through them endlessly.
"What's happening?" Blue asked through the phone. I saw future Blue's eyes cut to the phone in my hand.
He could hear.
"You get fucking sexier" I whisper into the phone.
Future Blue's eyes cut to me in confusion, "I'll call you back later. Be there in a sec!" I quickly speak into the phone, cutting off Blue's protests, as I slam it back down.
My eyes look back over to future Blue who has his eyebrows raised in question at me. I give him a shaky smile, "Blake Dun. What a surprise!" I choke out.
"Really. In front of my building?" he asked a smirk on his face.
I looked up at his building, "I-I was out for a jog ... and I found myself here. By accident of course".
"Of course. I'm just shocked is all. I mean you did say you never wanted to see my face ever again" he replies.
My eyes widen, well shit. "We say stuff that we don't mean all the time" I wince.
"Well you said it 3 years ago, and you've been going strong ... until now of course" he says, a look of annoyance crossing his face.
Alright well this is blowing up in my face.
"Well. Did you ever think that maybe I wanted more from you? That ... uhh ... that maybe I needed you so show me that I meant something?!" I yell at him.
Defense, always go on the defense first. You can never lose. I pat myself on the back.
His eyes narrow in anger, "You know I did everything I could for you! Everything Kat, so don't bring that shit up. Not with me" he growled.
What the literal hell happened here.
Okay .... beaten puppy play is next.
I look down to the ground, saddened. "I just wanted you to show up. I just wanted to be reassured that you were always going to be here. You never came for me, I just wanted you to prove it" I mutter.
He shifts his weight from one leg to the other, "Kat-"
I wipe at a fake tear. Fucking Oscar worthy.
"It's fine ... Uhhh I-I I really need to get going" I whisper before turning and speed walking away like an Olympian.
I made it to my parents house, pit stains and all 10 minuets later. "Blue!" I screamed out only to find myself body slammed to the ground seconds later.
His lean body plastered on top of mine, an angry glint in his eye.
"Shut. Up." he hissed looking around.
I just laid there, my eyes whirling in my head trying to catch my breath and stop the world from spinning all at the same time.
I groaned from under him.
"Get off of me you electrical outlet" I whined as I shut my eyes and tried to stop the head numbing pain.
He gave me a dull look before easing off of me, "What took you so long?" he growled.
"You know how over dramatic you are, you just kept yammering away. You broke my heart Katrina, I want you back Katrina, blah blah blah. You know the regular stuff that my fans throw my way" I snicker at him.
He gave me a dead look, "You spit out nonsense then ran away".
I frowned, "No. I sped walked. Huge difference. I could still tell that you were miserable without me" I smirked in his face.
"Oh I bet. Super miserable with my own billion dollar company, while you still live at home with your parents" he mocked me.
I looked up at my parent's house, I winced, "That is unfortunate" I mutter, as he rolled his eyes at me. "But anyway lets break into the house and see how I am faring without you. I bet thats how we keep getting through this" I shrug.
"Oh please, do tell how you plan to get into the house" he looked at me, passive aggressive anger rolling off him in waves.
"I know you are probably still angry with me-"
"There is no probably. I'm furious with you. I'm so mad that I could crush your trachea right now" he snapped.
I blinked, "-I kind of understand, but you have to see my point of view!"
"Your point of view is fucking stupid"
"Given the chance I would have your kids. Bring something into the world that we made together. Blue-"
"Anything that I bring into this world, will never be worth your life. I will never be worth your life. I'm selfish as shit and I've told you this before. So stop it. Stop. I don't need your bible lesson, where you throw yourself on the sword, or whatever martyr bullshit you have spinning in your mind. Anything else besides you is fucking worthless" he hissed snatching my jaw into his hand.
I was speechless.
"I-I want a family" I stated to him.
His eyes bore into my soul, "I care enough about you ... that I would be willing to not give you one" he stated firmly.
My chest tightened.
Did he mean he wouldn't give me one, with us together? Or he'd allow someone else to give me one?
Either one made my sick to my stomach.
"We aren't done talking about this" I glared at him.
"Thats what you think" he replied back.
I opened my mouth about to tell him I would have his children weather he wanted me to or not ... which is major creepy now that I'm thinking it to myself, the window above us slid open.
Our heads shot up as we watch future me stick her head out and take a deep breath of air. As she was bringing her head back in she smacked into the top of the window.
Blue's lips tilted into a smile as you could easily hear me screech out a cuss.
"You've matured so gracefully" Blue snickered.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. That was sooo funny Blue. At least I haven't been taking steroids, not that you could say the same".
He just smirked at me, "So genius how do you think we get into the house?" he asked me.
I looked around, my eyes immediately drew to the tree that was beside my window, "Climb. Duh" I reply back.
I start towards the tree as he looks at me with one eyebrow raised. I quickly get to work at shimming up the tree to the first branch.
"Have you ever done this before?" he asks from below me.
"Of course I have" I roll my eyes.
Lie number one.
"Katrina, I have no powers if you fall ... you're probably going to die" he tutted at me.
"I'm not scared" I yell back down as I throw my leg up and lift myself up another branch.
Lie number two.
"You shouldn't do this. We both know you have little to no talent. You're going to die" he sang up.
I was half way up now, I couldn't let him think I was a total loser. Which I was, but the sexy, multimillionaire at my feet didn't need to know that.
He had to see that I was strong, that I could handle anything, even our demon children.
"I've done this a million times" I wave him off, as I shakily body roll myself to another branch.
"I really can't save you this time, just forewarning" he sang as he stood relaxed with his back against my house looking up at me.
I finally make it to the top, the only issue? I'm a good leap away from my window.
I look down at Blue who is staring at me with one eyebrow raised.
I shoved my fear away, took one step back before launching myself through the air.
I was flying.
My hands gripping my windowsill firmly.
Yes!
Then the force behind my body caught up and I body slammed the side of the house.
Face fucking first.
I hear clapping below me, "You actually did it" Blue states below me.
"I had no faith in you. Absolutely none. But I must say this is probably the least pathetic thing you've done" he sounds surprised.
My hands are sweating so bad and I'm coming to the fast realization that I have no fucking upper body strength.
None.
"Dare I admit it, but I'm actually ... prou-"
"FUCKING HELP ME!" I scream cutting him off.
"What?"
"IM SLIPPING YOU MONOLOGUING FREAK!" I cry out to him as I struggle to keep my hands on the sill.
"Are you kidding me?! I told you-"
"OH MY GOD IM GOING TO DIE!!!" I screeched.
"Just pull yourself up" he yells up.
"LIKE I HAVENT TRIED THAT ALREADY!" I cried.
"Ka-" my hand slipped.
"FUCKING HELL DONT LET GO!" He yells up at me.
I now have tears streaming down my face.
"BLUE!"
"Just hold on Katrina!" He yells as he looks around panicked.
"Just make sure they bury my phone with me, okay?" I cry down to him.
He stops dead, "NO. IM NOT CARRYING YOUR DEAD MUTILATED BODY WITH ME THROUGH THE REST OF THIS! SWING YOUR FAT LEGS UP!" He coaches me.
I choke down my fear and his hurtful comments before using my feet against the wall and kicking myself up into the window.
My head slams into the actually window before I fall forward into my room.
I lay face first into the carpet groaning in pain as my heart slowly starts to regulate itself.
"Mother-"
"Katrina?" I jump as Blue's voice shakes me, I roll over and see floating there in a futuristic all blue super suit Blue Doom.
Shit.
I quickly stand up and stare at him in shock, he lands lightly onto his feet and stands towering over me and everything in this room.
My eyes take in how delicious he look in his suit.
"Blue?"
He tilts his head slightly a small smile crinkles his lips. "You haven't called me that in a very long time" he smiles.
"O...Kay. What uhhh what are you doing here?" I whisper.
"You. I- after our discussion earlier I really thought we should talk" he said pulling his mask off.
I was flabbergasted and panic sweating all at the same time. He seemed to take my silence as an invitation.
He walked slowly into the room and circled around looking at everything that hung on my walls.
He turned to look at me, "it's been a long time since I've had this suit on" he states.
I blink at him shocked. "What?!"
He nods, "I hadn't put it on since you made me swear I never would again" he shrugs before sitting down on the bed.
His curls were more unkept this time, bouncing freely on his head.
"Why would I ever ask you to do something like that?" I asked myself completely stumped.
He looked at me confused.
Oh right.
"It's just been such a long time. And I was a stupid kid back then I'm just trying to think through my actions aloud" I quickly cover going to sit next to him.
"Oh. Well you didn't like who I was with this suit" he stated staring at my intently.
Confusion racked across my body, why the hell would I ever say that? I give him a disbelieving chuckle, "That can't be right. I fell for the super before I even got to meet the man. I've only known the super who you really are, not who you portray yourself to be, why would I ever say I didn't like who you were in the suit?" I stated to him.
He looked confused as well, "I'm not sure, but I changed. I just guess it was too late for you" he stated.
"Impossible. I'd wait forever" I quickly shake my head.
Now that my mind was running this did seem weird. What the hell could we have broken up over that would cause me not to talk to him?
I mean I'd do anything for him, as sick as it was. It was true and especially this version.
This caring version.
Why would I ever give him up? The only reason I'd ever do anything like that would be because I have to.
... if I didn't have a choice.
"Why wouldn't you have a choice?" He suddenly asked.
My eyes shot out of my skull.
"What?" I snap over to look at him.
"You just thought to yourself, if you didn't have a choice. What choice? Katrina what's going on?" He demanded.
My mouth high fived the motherfucking floor.
This bitch can hear my thoughts. How the hell can he hear my thoughts?
... no wonder I would have told him to stay away.
I slapped a hand over my mouth when his eyes flickered with understanding.
"That's why you pushed me away? So I couldn't hear your thoughts! What did you do? Who are you protecting me from?" He grabbed my hand before he tensed harshly.
Oh shit.
His eyes blazed with want as they burned brightly on his face. "You're not Katrina" he snarled.
My heart stopped beating.
"Who are you?" He demanded his hand clamping down harshly on my wrist.
I winced in pain.
"I am Katrina. Technically" I croaked out in fear.
Oh why is it always me?!
"You smell like her, when her virginity was still intact, when she needed someone to ground herself to" he growled his voice going deeper more animalistic.
"How the hell can you hear my thoughts?" I quickly ask him.
His glowing eyes squinted at me, "you".
Well time to get off this crazy train. I quickly without thinking sent a kick to his chest making him release my arm.
I scrambled up before sprinting to the door and coming face to face with future me.
Her eyes widened in shock and dismay, before she quickly turned to run.
Oh no.
I sprinted after her as she got to the steps before flinging myself on her back sending up crashing down the stairs all the way to the hard wooden floors.
I tasted blood in the back of my mouth and no doubt there was blood gushing from my forehead.
I winced just as I looked up to see the front door kicked in.
There my Blue stood looking annoyed as hell before his eyes landed on doppelgänger paradise.
He chucked.
"How many Katrina's does it take to screw up an entire situation?" He asked.
"Shut up" I stagger to my feet.
"Just one. But it's always good to keep an extra" he snickers as he yanked future me to my feet and laid a knife on her neck.
Both our eyes widened. "What the hell are you doing?!" I cried.
"Leverage" he nodded up towards the stairs where future him stood glaring down at us.
I took two steps closer to Blue.
Future Blue came hulking slowly down the stairs, "let her go" he demanded.
My Blue smirked, only we would be put in a situation like this.
"Okay everybody lets all just calm down and take deep breaths" future me said then just the two of us took five deep breaths together.
"Let's talk about this. We can talk right?" I through in looking at future Blue.
"Not with a knife to her throat" he glared at me.
I nudged my Blue, "take the knife off my throat" I hissed at him.
"As if. Besides I've had wet dreams about slicing your beautiful throat" he smirks at me.
"You sick lightning rod. Let me go! You can't just kill me!" I hissed at him.
"It'll be so therapeutic to snap your neck. If you let me kill this version of you I won't kill you later" he hissed.
My jaw dropped.
"You can't be serious!" I spat
"Oh I'm deadly serious, especially after watching just how truly stupid you are!" He growled at me.
"Me?!? ME!? BLAKE ITS YOU! Like I said earlier it takes two to tango asshole AND last time I checked IT WAS YOU WHO DECIDED TO BONE WITHOUT COVERING YOUR STONE! Besides dumbass of you hadn't notice we are in another future and I'm not pregnant!" I waved at the self he had a knife on.
"Quit trying to make this all my fault. My pull out game is strong. This. All of this. Is YOU!" he growled.
I blinked at him.
"You have been fucking seducing me. I don't know how you did or what you put in my drink but I know you did something! There's no way in hell that it could be you Katrina! All the people in the entire fucking world and its YOU! Do you honestly expect me to believe this shit!" He yelled back at me.
"What are you accusing me of?!"
"THAT YOUD BE MY FUCKING UNDOING!"
I froze as well as everyone else in the room.
"Me?" I choked.
He just glared at me. He was truly pissed about his little discovery.
"It's not like your not mine either! Did you see the way I fucking looked?! I wasn't going to survive that shit! Why else would I put my life on the line besides for you? Huh? Why else expect FOR YOU!" I growled.
He still just glared at me.
"This shouldn't be your story damnit Kat, don't you get it? I'm suppose to writher in misery for the rest of my life. Not you. It was never suppose to be with you" he spat.
I just sighed as his grip loosened on the knife around future me's neck.
"Haven't you heard? Misery needs company?" I sighed.
Then the room dropped.
