Chapter 2: A hero, a cat and home.
"Lacrima, give her another chance." The man in his hero suit was talking to her, he has a decision. So now, Red Volt must ask Lacrima to stop hunting Cat down, he will take care of her and teaching her how to be a hero. The voodoo woman looking at him, that is it, she saw that small figure hiding behind Volt. Cat wasn't sure if this will working out or not, but now she has put her trust on him. There's nothing to doubt about her loyalty, Cat knows she will never ever betraying Red Volt. As he was the person who protecting her from Lacrima's hunt. The little cat held on Volt's legs and looking up at her, she was scare. "You have your decision, i see. Go ahead, but remember, you also have a responsibility for all of her action from now on.", Lacrima puts her pipe down and smiles, "....teach her carefully. This child is unexpectedly. I'm counting on you, Red Volt. " That was a yes. She's free from Lacrima's dark magic, from now on, her new home will be whenever Red Volt go. A stray cat has found a home. This kind man has done so much for her but she didn't know how to repay him. Of course, she's dead. He's dead. His duty was only to take care of Cat until she was strong enough to stand on her own, maybe the only way to do that is not letting him down. 'Maybe I can fully trusted him.' , little cat looking up at the hero who still talking to Lacrima with a proud tones in his voice. Cat didn't hear much about what he talking about, she mainly focus on remembered his appearance, his scent. It was very important for cats to remember their owner's scent, so that they will never got lost. This is just her natural act, nothing was wrong about that. The girl would call Red Volt 'master' or 'owner', but Lacrima has taught her not to call him that, the woman knows it will makes the hero feels weird. Cat was drowning in her own thinking as the cat instincts took over her again,her ears twitched as she heard Red Volt says something about 'undead teacher ', 'potential in her' and 'your training started now, Cat'. Training started now? Little cat quickly woke up as she heard that. Confusing a little bit but she quickly got her spirits back and puts her paws on. "I'm ready, Volt!!!" , her voice was full of energy as Cat was happy. She never been so powerful like this before, maybe it's came from her positives. Red Volt nodded as he leads her to a portal which connects to the human realm. "...but can ghost walk around the human realm at all?" It's not working the way Red Volt planned, he cannot walked through the portals. There's something holding him back, but not happened to Cat. Because her body was fully reborn here, as a revenant so traveling between the realms never be a problem to her. But it's not the same for Red Volt, he isn't a revenant. As they were stuck here, Cat was thinking about giving him a charm. She have three of them, two on her head, one on her tail. These charms having a cute cat head shapes and a bow behind them, even looks cute and might be mistake as a normal accessory ,they are very important. If a ghost have it, then they can freely traveling to the human realm without getting fading away. The underworld charm also keeping Cat's sewing body in place, if she lost one then nothing gonna happen but her sanity will be out of control sometimes,if she lost two, her sewing marks will getting weaker and might falling off anytime, and if she lost them all, her body will rotten. But Cat never cared about it. She quickly took off the one on her head then gave to Red Volt with both paws and smiling happily, "Take it, Volt! Remember to keep it with you all the time!" The hero takes it and smiles back at her then he entering the human realm. Cat walked behind him and she looking around, it's so different. The crowding city it is, so many human walking around, but they all stops to look at them. Then a second later, all Cat heard was screaming and people running away from them. She not understanding this, what's the problem? Red Volt looking down at her then puts his hand on her head, this was telling her everything is alright, he just realized the reasons why. It's their appearance. The man was wearing his torned suit and there's horns on his head, his speed demon form was active after he had the charm, and the girl just bloody, the dried blood on her limbs is a proof of how her torned apart body was sewed back together. "It’s alright Cat, people are scared of what they don’t know, just slowly show it out..... or they just scared of me." The best thing to do is not letting Cat to think about this too much, Red Volt telling himself that then he scratching his helmet thinking of what else to say to distract her from this. He knows this small child was over thinking a lot and it shouldn't be like that! A confused looks on her face told Volt that just forget about it, she don't even understand. "...just ignore it, Cat. They will getting used to us soon." "They such a coward! But anyway meow! Let's start the training!!" Cat stretching herself like a cat then being excited still, just like what Volt thought, she not even bothered to talk about their looks. He about to tell her of their very first lesson but quickly realized her bloody ans messy body, they just went back from the underworld so of course! Even himself looking messy too, obviously not a good way to start a hero lesson. "Before we start, just go to my place and clean yourself first. Hop on!" Red Volt kneels down as Cat climbed on his back and holds still there, she didn't question or saying anything. A cat's submission to their owner sometimes pretty solid, they believed everything the owner said or commanded, so doesn't matter where Volt brings her to, she would not doubt him. But more than that, Red Volt is her mentor, how can you even learn from your mentor if you not trusting them? He ran full speed back to his place and puts the girl down. She was surprised to see Volt's house, no, a mansions. It was huge and fancy, Cat not remember much about her past, but probably she have never seen a mansion before. It's hard to believe that Red Volt was living here, since he's a low-key rich guy with a bad taste in fashion, he just chuckling at Cat's reaction seeing his place. He thought that was a silly but cute reaction, because it's the normal way for a young kid to act in this situation. "Let's go Cat.", he pressing the passwords to open the gate as Cat still looking around with her curiosity, a human part told her to stick to Volt, a cat part told her to run around to see. But before she could decided, Cat saw an old man right front of them with a shock look in his eyes. She quickly hid behind Red Volt but still listening to their conversation. "..Who are you..? WHY ARE YOU WEARING MY SON'S CLOTHES!?" "It's me Akira! Your son!" The angry man shoots Red Volt in the chest right away was his butler, Hank. He probably shocked to see Volt, but it's not so surprise if you saw a dead person coming back to life. After seeing a bullet hole on his chest, Red Volt quickly turned around to check on the little girl quickly, she shook her head. Cat was way shorter than his chest so of course she is doing alright, but she held his shoulder and being worried. "Who is he, Volt?..." "My bulter, he took over to be my father because my parents was doing nothing." Cat saw a hole on his chest, her ears was laid down sadly. "...he shoot you. He didn't believe you, Volt! Are you alright?..." " I will cover it up later.. but now!", Red Volt stood up all straights and proud as he facing his own bulter who now his father, with a very power voice, he speaks out loud, " If you don't believe me, then go ahead and kill me Hank! Kill me!" "I would be even more happier to bust the lead in your head!", Hank loaded his gun again and pointed at Red Volt's head, but the man showed no fear under that mask. He knows the secrets between them, so it will be the only proof. "...That's a very brave of you, Hank. You used to be a hero, no.20! Now what have you become!?" The older man gasps as he couldn't believe in his own sanity anymore. Is that guy just said their secret out loud? Is that guy really his dead son? Is his son really coming home now? Or is this a dream? If it does, then it would be very disappointed. "..Akira? Is that really you?" "It's me, father. I'm home." It's a very emotional moment right now, Hank hugged his son and started sobbing a little bit. His son is home finally, this is not a dream. It's real! Red Volt is home! Cat watching as she tilting her head trying to remember what is it, the emotions that she was no longer needs, but the little cat personality feels happy for her mentor, she smiles softly and thought of her parents who she couldn't even remember their faces. How will is feel like if they saw her now? Probably the same to Hank. But they might just run away like other people. Red Volt cuts through her thoughts with a head pats as he was telling Cat to follow him, she walked behind him and stayed close to Volt while looking around. He said he needs to patch the bullet hole up, Cat raised her paw and willing to do it for him. As least helping Red Volt something is how the little cat repay him. But the man told his bulter to get the shower ready first, Hank did as told "Cat, you should take a shower first." He walked into the bathroom with Cat to show her a cool technologies that Red Volt thinks she might never seen before. It's the background of the bathroom. She got amazed by it, he switched the background into a dark sky full of stars, and Cat clapping her paws happily as it's been so long since last time she even saw the sky. Of course it's not a real star right now but Volt can see the happiness in Cat's eyes, he chuckling then left the bathroom so she could takes a shower. "...poor girl, it's must been rough for her." Dips into the tub as Cat looking at the sky still, she thought that Red Volt was so gentle and such a good person. It brought her a feeling like he was her family , a brother ? Yes, definitely. 'I was right to trust in him' , at first, Cat's defense was pretty high toward Volt because he is a guy. And for what happened to her in the past will scars the girl, and she will very cautioned to men. This is why it takes so long for a little cat to trust that man. She thinking about it and sewing her body back together without letting him knows, there wasn't blood when the needle going through her skin, she felt nothing. When her body was going back to normal, Cat gets out of the bathroom wearing her old dress and smiles, pawing at Red Volt's back, "I'm done~~~ It's your turn, Volt." "Alright, I will be right back." The man nodded then heading into the bathroom, Cat was there alone and she looking around again. This mansion by far the fanciest place she have ever seen, it have everything, as a curious cat, she started walking around to make sure she knows this place well. That's what cats do. But then Cat found a familiar scent from the other room. The owner's scent, but mixed with so many weird smells, can't keep her curiosity up, Cat following the scent into another room with a lot of machines. Chemical smells mixed in the air got her dizzy , and then, right front off her eyes in a tube. Was Red Volt's lifeless body. _ _______ @bitchy-ermac eyyo, here's chapter two for u ho!
