Atom & Lily

Chapter 6:Home sweet Home



"Welcome to my lovely home!" Lily said to me as we walked insider her home, "wow... its pretty normal." I tell her, "now then, I think there should be some food in the fridge so wait here." She tells me as she makes her way to the kitchen. I looked around awkwardly, it was awfully quiet for a family sized house, suddenly Atom appeared "wow, this isn't as bad as I expect." He said, "I guess?" I said as I continued looking around, in the corner of my eye I see a little kid spying on me, I walk towards him but suddenly he runs back to his room and shuts the door, "I'm back!" I jumped as I hear Lily's voice unexpectedly, "The most we have for food is a Kids tv dinner and ramen cups, I knew i should've went grocery shopping earlier." Lily said to me, "Hey, I have some questions for you Lily?" I ask her, "Where are your parents and who was that kid over there?" I ask as I point to where I saw the kid, "Oh, that's my little brother Jackson, He's shy when it comes to strangers and plus he's... going through things right now." She answers, "alright... and what about your parents?" I ask but Lily grows silent for a brief moment, suddenly she asks me "Can we chat in my room for a moment?" which I obliged to her request.

We entered Lily's room, it looks like she idolizes Killerpatty a lot... I mean a lot, she has Killerpatty bedsheets, Killerpatty Plushies, probably even Killerpatty pajamas. "So what's up?" I ask here, she stares blankly at me, she looks away and then states the following to me, "Are you the defender Oliver Peddleton?", I grew silent, I grew mad, "I know your partners Colossus and Speedster were murdered." She says to me with guts but I didn't want to hear anymore of it, I didn't care what she had to say, I got up and almost walked out, "Wait! Don't leave please..." she yelled at me, before i turned the doorknob she tells me "I want revenge too!", awkward silence goes on for a few minutes, "To answer your question, My father is on a business trip and wont return till February,... My mother on the other hand was killed, along with my older sister." Lily sadly tells me, I stay silent but give a sympathetic vibe, "I want revenge on the bastard that killed my mom and sister and you wanna get revenge for your friends? Please let me tag along! I want to do this... for my mom and sis." She tells me. I contemplate her offer, "You can join but let me tell you, it wont be easy." I tell her, Atom suddenly popped out like usual, I guess he wanted to lighten the mood, "I got an idea! Lets tell each other's origins!" Atom tells us, I respond back with "I'm not a superhero you know."
