man on fire

he honestly would've preferred the silence over the trash that kelly had put on for him. it had been a week of pure torture, made even worse by how much kelly had been enjoying himself the entire time. his expression remains utterly unamused. " fine. " whether he will actually uphold that promise or not, kelly will just have to wait and see.

the door starts to open at last, and he doesn't wait a beat to shove it open and walk out of the cell with a sigh of relief. finally. glancing over at kelly, a forced smile forms on his features. " i suppose i should thank you. " then, in the blink of an eye, gloved fist has found kelly's nose, the sound of cracking bone like music to his ears. the metallic smell of blood soon followed. " and now we're even. "

The  plan  was  to  dissapate  into  a  nice  thick  smoke,  avoid  the  hit,  and  laugh  at  John.

instead,  his  nose  is  broken  into  fourteen  pieces,  blood  gushing  onto  the  floor  .  kelly  doubles  over  ,  clutching  his  face  and  trying  to  see  past  the  blood  red,  blue  stripes  and  white  stars.  "  FUCK.  What  the  fuck  is  wrong  with  you?  "  he  blubs,  falling  back  and  out  of  Homelander's  way.

If it were a different situation Henry could have appreciated the fact that a 2000's heavy bass song called "Where the Party At?" Started thumping in the background. But as it stood now, he was thinking he was going to get deck by an older (very sexy) man on the front lawn, and there was nothing funny at the moment.

"Shit..." Henry said softly, "Yeah, I'm sorry, really, I was just telling my friend that. Please don't call the cops, I'll take care of it." And please don't hit me, he thought. Even though Henry wasn't exactly weak, he didn't want to get in a fight like this, it would be humiliating.

And the angry neighbour calling the cops would be even worse.

"I'll get it turned down, again, I'm very sorry." He didn't know what else to say. He felt like he was bumbling over his words a little.

Then a frat guy he didn't know pushed past the disgruntled man and Henry, spilled his red solo cup of beer along the way. "Watch it, old man, go home and put some clothes on." The idiot laughed, as Henry tried to push him inside.

EXHIBIT  A:  half  a  beer  spills  onto  him;  his  eyes  twitch  when  the  splash  of  liquid  hits  his  skin  and  he  grabs  the  frat  guy  by  the  collar,  pulling  him  back  to  the  door.  "  –  hey,  BOZO.  re-entry  fee  is  $20.  outfit  fee  is  another  $20."  He  shrugs  the  stained  robe  off  his  shoulders,  revealing  the  physique  he'd  been  working  on  since  that  kid  was  a  tot  sucking  on  his  mom's  tits.

He  holds  one hand out for  payment, the other forming a fist in the pocket of his sweats.

" Pay  up  before  I  knock  your  brain  right  outta  your  skull. "

Send me a ♡ plus a ship and I'll tell you...

"Why do I know that? Am I smart?"

"I can’t be the only person here. Right?"

"That’s the sun! There it is."

"(name), can you help me out? There we go!"

"I’m not sure it should come from me."

"We’re all gonna die!"

"You're forgetting something."

"I need your help."

"That was a long time ago."

"You heard about that, huh?"

"No one in your field wants anything to do with you because you refused to back down from a very unpopular view, and I can give you a chance to prove them all wrong."

"Well, joke’s on them because I don’t even care."

"You’re running away because you’re scared."

"I need you to come with us."

"Sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"I want you to tell me what they are, how they work."

"(name)'s really dying, isn't it?"

"Is all of this necessary?"

"It died. This is great news."

"Sorry if I overreacted in there."

"Thank you for your help. I’m glad you didn’t die."

"I need people who think they’re right when everyone else thinks they’re wrong."

"The world is counting on you."

"I’m not doing that."

"We don't. But I do."

"We don’t need a coupon. We’re the government."

"Why you saying 'Uh-oh'?"

"We're parents, (name)."

"I can't do this. I can't. I can't."

"Why on earth would you need that much (thing)?"

"For that, we need you, my friend."

"There are infinite possibilities for this to go wrong."

"Nothing about this is safe."

"First, I owe you three bottles of vodka."

"You deserve much more than this."

"Seems like something we should talk about."

"Well, I guess there’s egg on both our faces, huh, (name)?"

"We would need years for that, and we have months."

"I’m wrong about everything and everything’s wrong."

"You’re a long way from home. I'm a long way from home too."

"You scared me when you went (imitates screaming)"

"I don’t have one of these. I love it! Thank you."

"I still don’t think I can do it, though. Sorry. It’s just, uh if I’m wrong, I’m really wrong."

"You need to solve it. I need to solve it."

"If we’re gonna save our planets, we have to learn how to communicate."

"I’m really excited to be working with you on this. Fired up. Sorry I'm talking so much. It's just, I haven't been around someone in a long time.

"That’s really interesting. That sounds like something we can unpack that tomorrow."

"This is where the science happens."

"There’s no way you can hear me right now."

"The beach is always changing. You could go to the same spot every day, you’re always looking at a different beach."

"I miss the (thing). What about you, (name)? What do you miss most about home?"

"You don’t sing, huh?"

"You're very mysterious."

"You believe in God?"

"Just stop your crying; it'll be alright."

"I got to meet you. I got to do all this amazing stuff. I’m good. I’ve made peace with it."

"I didn’t mean any of that. That’s just something you say."

"Can you take a compliment please?"

"I’m not worried. Are you worried?"

"I don’t think there is gonna be a later."

"I’m not ready. I don’t have any training."

"I’m not heroic in any way. I cannot do this."

"No pressure but we did make a deal.*

"I understand the stakes. I do. But I don’t have it in me. My mind is made up."

"This may seem like me betraying you, but it’s actually me believing in you."

"Don’t make this harder, please."

"I can’t do both. I can go home or I can save (name)."
