Running Forever

*Crash Fire's POV*

Party and I walked hand in hand down what used to be the main road in the city. We didn't have any supply runs scheduled for today but we still kept our radios on just in case Dr.D needed us. Other than that, today was one of our few days off. I always loved going on walks with Party, even though we didn't say much. It gives me time to think, it seems like the only time my head is clear is when we walk together like this. I stop in my tracks and listen. Do I hear what I think I hear? No way.

"Crash? Whats wrong?" Party look at me with a worried expression.

"Listen... Do you hear that?" I whisper. He stays still and listens for a second. He nods and pulls out his gun. I swat at his hand. "They're crying children! I don't think you'll need your gun." I yell whisper at him.

"I know, but what if it's, y'know... Him...?" I sigh. He's right, of course, he's always right. I pulled out my dark purple ray gun and pull down the matching mask. We crept closer to the remains of what looks like a restaurant. Maybe there's food still in there. Probably not, almost everything's been looted already. I push the large piece of wood out of the way of whats left of the doorway. Sure enough there's two kids huddled in the corner. Two little girls. Memories start flooding back. No. Not now. I need to focus and get these kids to safety. I remember the look in Rose Fires eyes. She didn't look scared. She knew what was going to happen. She knew they wouldn't find me. She knew the other two would... die... She knew. And she wasn't afraid. Or maybe she wa-

"Crash Fire!" I was sent out of my trance by the sound of Party's voice calling my name. He was wiping away tears from my face. When did I start crying?

"Lets get these kids and get out of here." I said, not really focused on what was going on.

"Crash, can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Party said, nodding his head towards the door frame.

"Can't it wait? We don't even know how long these kids have been here."

"No. It can't wait. I need to talk to you now." I walked over to the kids and crouched down next to them.

"We'll be right back, and then we're going to get you out of here. I promise." I stood back up and walked out of the building with Party right behind me. I turned on my heels and looked him right in the eyes. "Whats so important that we're leaving two terrified children alone in an abandoned building that looks like it could collapse at any minute?" annoyance in my voice.
Gerard sighed and looked at me.

"We can't save those kids Crash."

A mix of sadness, anger, and confusion flooded my brain. "What the fuck do you mean we can't save them? And why the hell not?"

"Where will they go? We can't take care of any kids."

"What about Dr.D? Even if he himself can't take them, he of all people will find someone who can."

"No one is going to be able to raise kids Crash. If we can't, they cant."

"There are plenty of people to take them in."

"Name one."

"Dark Horse, the lady who lost her two sons within the first week."

"How do you know she even wants kids after what happened to hers?"

"Well Party, maybe if actually left the fucking garage and talked to people you would know shit like this." Now I was getting mad. Why was he so against this?

"Did you ever think maybe this has something to do with your sis-"

"Don't. Do you hear me? Fucking don't." I can't fucking believe him right now."Y'know what I don't understand? I don't fucking understand why people call you Party, because right now, all you are is poison." I got closer to him and jabbed my finger to his chest. "Are you going to help me save these kids or not. Because if not, turn around and walk away now. And don't. look. back." He looked me right in the eyes. I was to angry to try to read his emotions. I waited for what seemed like eternity to see what he would do. He closed his eyes, turned around, and walked away.

Notes

So here's the first chapter. I really hope you enjoyed. I'm working on a drawing of Crash Fire so hopefully she'll actually have a picture soon. But until then, she has shoulder length hair that's few shades of red darker than Party's. Her jacket is dark purple, black, and white. She wears dark blue or black skinny jeans with black combat boots. Lastly her mask is dark purple with an orange outline and two black lines over the right eye. Feedback would be great. Until next time! (which hopefully wont be that long)
