Echo of Man 7
Short because I ran out of ideas, but thanks to @suzcatonmars for helping with the story and keeping it going :D
~~~~~
Freddie: You know, I kinda want to go watch the fight downtown.
Jim: I thought you didn't like seeing people get hurt. Are you ok Freddie? I hope you're not getting a case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Freddie: I sure hope not, but it'll be fine as long as they don't see us. I wanna see this Rhino guy and how strong he is.
~~~~~
We got a nice view of a few abnormals and some guards yelling at each other, but why weren't they attacking?
Guard A: You all have 2 minutes to stop this nonsense immediately!! Rhino will be here any minute now!!
Abnormal: We’re not scared of him!
Guard A: You're not? Well, you better be.
Soon enough we see a man in some heavy armor, he’s huge compared to everyone else! Those abnormals better run fast!
The suit also had these two claws and by the electricity coming off them, I can tell the suit would stab and shock them at once. I peeked over what we were hiding behind, but Jim pulled me a little down.
Jim: Do you want to get spotted? This isn't our fight.
Freddie: I have to tell them to run, they'll be killed if they don't.
Guard A: We warned you! What are your order Rhino?
He stared at all the abnormals.
Rhino: You all have one more chance to turn back now!
Abnormal: Never!
Rhino: Kill them, all of them…
One of the guards nodded to the others as they pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the abnormals, oh God please no!
Guard A: We have the greenlight boys! Show em’ hell!!
They all shot at the abnormals that were running at them and Rhino started doing his thing. NO NO!! I quickly leaped on top of the small wall and started yelling at the guards.
Freddie: No! Stop shooting!! Please!!
Jim: Freddie!
A couple guard stopped and looked over at me, but Rhino also looked at me after he dropped an abnormal. He raised his hand in the air and singled everyone to stop.
Rhino: Hold your fire!
The remaining abnormals had a chance to run while every other guard looked over at me, I was frozen until Jim grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him quickly.
~~~~~
We ran all the way home and Jim, of course, kinda got a little angry.
Jim: What did I tell you?!
Freddie: I couldn't help myself! I didn't want those people to die! So I did what I had to do!
Jim: I said it wasn't our fight, they could've shot you! Why don't you ever listen to me?!
Freddie: Because I have a heart… I'm going to try and save people, even if that means I die trying.
Jim: You always do this!
Freddie: I do it because someone fucking has to!!
No one understands my pain! No one! I've never been hurt trying to save people and Jim knows this, but he was upset because this time the guards were armed. At least I saved a couple of people.
He sighs heavily and simply sits down, I've gotta cheer him up, come on think! Ah-ha! I'll do what I do best! Sing!
I sit beside him and smile, he raises an eyebrow.
Jim: What?
Freddie: ♪ I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad thing. We can do the tango, just for two ♪
Jim: What are you doing?
He asked in a surprised manner and sat up straight.
Freddie: ♪ I can serenade and gently play on your heartstrings. Be a Valentino, just for you ♪
This time he laughed slightly and shook his head, I think it's working!
Freddie: ♪ ”Ooh love, Ooh lover boy what’re you doing tonight? Hey boy.” Set my alarm, turn on my charm. That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy ♪
Jim continued to laugh and shake his head.
Jim: You can stop now.
Freddie: Oh darling I've just started. ♪ Ooh, let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster). Can you feel my love heat? (Ooh) Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love and tell me how you feel right after-all ♪
Jim: Please stop, I get your point.
Freddie: ♪ I'd like for you and I to go romancing. Say the word, your wish is my command ♪
He pushes my head away and laughs, well at least it worked. It always works.
Freddie: You know I don't like it when you yell at me or when you're mad. Look, I've messed up many times and I'm sorry, but I'm sure you understand why I do it in the first place.
Jim: A little bit, you do it because you're the only one with a kind heart. That's what I've heard from you at least and you know it's not true, everyone has a kind heart. They just don't show it because if they did, they'd probably be laughed at.
Freddie: Everyone loves me and I'm always kind-hearted, but there are those people that hate me dearly. That's their problem.
If someone doesn’t like me for me then who needs them, I don't. They're just trying to bring me down, trying to make me like them.
Freddie: We’ll survive this mess until we’re on the outside! Together!
Jim: Together!
