“To be frank, I don’t think I have any more information than you do,” He was always the last to know things, but for some reason, people always approached him expecting him to have all the answers. He definitely did not, “But if I hear anything, you will be the absolute first person I tell.” { @hellfirebound }
“i’ll also be the last,” he said bluntly. more importantly, ky didn’t care about what they knew – only that they gave the information directly to himself. that way, he wouldn’t be caught blindsided like he was at time. “‘cause, if you tell anyone else about this? i’ll be sure to rip you apart… piece by piece.” it wasn’t a threat, but rather a promise of sorts. one, that he intended to keep…if things got that far.
he already had wasted enough of his time on this project due to distractions. first, it had been the several people he killed, and now? now, there was one more useless distraction in his way. all to get a simple file – one that could have the answers to everything. though, he doubted it would give him much in all reality ( if anything at all ). “there has been enough death today. now, give me what i want, and you’ll survive.”
Ah, but I’m a villain. And villains don’t get happy endings.
. that’s…not at all the reaction bobby expects. and so he stares, and he stares some more, trying to find the loophole, trying to find the LIE. is this a trick? while he’d like to think ky won’t trick HIM, bobby’s not stupid enough to think he’s some kind of magical exception to the rule. he’s not ky’lar’s soft spot, even if he might wish he was.
he’s reminded of a conversation years ago, when bobby promised he’d put him down if he got out of control. now that it might actually have to happen, it seems surreal. bobby nods, swallowing thickly.
❝ that’s fair. ❞ and the thought circling his mind as he ices up is that he kinda hopes ky wins.
once, he would have avoided this at all costs – to keep himself from getting into the amount of trouble he couldn’t handle. now? he thrived in it. no, to be specific, he lost himself in it. that way, he didn’t have to worry about the consequences of his actions. nor did he feel like they were necessary to think about at any-rate.
❝ very fair. ❞ ky could have said that it would happen either way, but he wasn’t in the mood to explain himself. no, they both had limited time, and ky wasn’t going to be dragged in. nor was he going to allow himself to be brought in. that way, he could sort this mess of his out… on his own time.
❝ so, ❞ he said, taking a few steps back and glancing up at the sky for a moment, ❝ no holding back, no pulling punches, and the first one to be unable to fight… for whatever reason or yields wins.❞ not that it mattered; ky didn’t want to hurt bobby, but even he understood the state of affairs these days.
more importantly, a fight would happen either way. a reason to why his next words – even if he hated saying them – were said more out of resolve than anything else. ❝ so, i believe it’s your move. ❞
“LOOK DUDE. I don’t want any trouble. hands raise in a placating gesture, fingers on her right hand curls around her laser walking stick. blind girl get’s some perks.
“WELL! LET ME ASK YOU THIS; what is your definition of trouble?” not that ky cared, but he was attempting ( and failing ) to be decent.
ross can’t really argue with that fact . he doesn’t have a retort or a rebuttal. but then something sparks. “it became your war the moment you stepped foot on this planet. it’s no secret what was coming or WHO was coming. whether you like it or not, you’re apart of this.” maybe the attempt is futile, but the agent is hurt and grieving. he wants to lash out at someone for his anger and sorrow.
HE WAS RIGHT. the moment he stepped back on the planet, this war, this was his war. it wasn’t just about him anymore, but since when did ky’lar care about anyone besides himself? he didn’t! he’d been trapped in his grandfather’s realm for far too long and now? as much as he wanted to never head back there? it was starting to look like a good choice! “unlike you, i know when to stand aside,” he said, voice turning angrier by the second. “you think that the entirety of creation revolves around this planet? news flash – it doesn’t!”
by this time, his hands were formed into tight fists. “we all lost someone in this,” more than likely even himself. he just wouldn’t admit it. “i’m just taking the higher ground and leaving. maybe that way… i don’t have to deal with this. or you.” not that he meant the words in all reality, but he hoped his point was understood.
‘ —- Can a MAN just get some silence here, huh ? ? ? All your talking… Disturbing me and my COFFEE time…. ‘ Fuck, it’s more like he’s got a HEADACHE. An EXPLOSION of pain that came from a couple nights of work.
‘ is COFFE that important to you? ’ it possibly was – answering his own question in the back of his mind as his arms folded across his chest, ‘cause, i could keep on talkin’ if it means ANNOYING you.’ then again, it didn’t take much for ky to annoy anyone – especially these days.
Hulk roared at Ky, hoping to scare the other man away. He hated to be watched like he was an animal. He was a person too, which is why he appreciated the Grandmaster who gave him the things he wanted to decorate his room and gave him the opportunity to have people cheer for him, instead of screaming.
the roar itself forced him to take an instinctively step back, but in return, his arms folded calmly across his chest. truth be told, ky could have gave his own version of one back, but he didn’t believe it was worth it. maybe later he would, but not now. “— are you done?” granted, even ky knew fighting the hulk wasn’t going to end well for him, but he was at least attempting to show no fear. maybe that way… it would prove he wasn’t here to fight. “or do you really just hate me already?”
