Ah, a new RP, it seems! Yes, I hit an idea I really enjoyed, and following my own advice, I made a new RP. This one is in rewind set in a parallel dimension. The only difference in this one is that things can happen differently. It's set back roughly seven years, back when Super was only 17 years old.
Waitaminute? Super's 24? In the Resistance, he is. That's set two or so years after Forgotten Life, so it all makes sense, really. Back this far, and he doesn't know anybody yet, 'cept Sickle(Who recently left G.U.N. during huge confusion. They are searching for him, and Super recently through a G.U.N. agent in the lake, so G.U.N. doesn't like him either). It's set in late September, so Sickle and Super have not been given much time as roomies, so they won't be as buddy-buddy as you've seen them.
In this RP, anything can really happen, as long as your characters age reflects it. This could spawn new meetings, enemies, or even relationships. Who knows what may happen, Sickle might up end trying to woo Sparky, Super might kick Sickle out, The lemming Kairi may never know any close friends and may wander the cities, only really knowing Haden...
Anyway, our story starts...
-----------------
Super mumbled groggily as he stepped slowly into the kitchen, unhappy with the day. It made him wake up, and he liked sleep. It was a wonderful thing. As he made his way through the kitchen, he fumbled around with some dishes before resigning to a cup of coffee, which, while he hated the taste, cafe him the buzz he needed to start the day. Putting the water in the jar and the coffee in the filter, he left it to make, and walked outside to get the paper - like any normal person. The hedgehog wasn't normal, though, he just... wanted to be.
Someplace else in the house, Sickle kicked a pillow off the couch and rolled off the seat due to the loss of resistance the pillow had given. Slamming against the ground, the wolf muttered something under his breath about gravity and looked up. He didn't see much, so he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and stood up, giving a slight yawn and the remnants of what could only be called a yowl out of his system. The smell of coffee filtered into the air as the wolf followed it, step, by agonizing step. He walked into the room and looked around, unpleased that Super had only started the coffee, and made no attempt at a breakfast meal, so he fiddled with the pots and pans and ingredients until he had bacon and eggs going.
Super stood still outside, reading the headlines. He watched as one of his neighbors did the same, and he gave a swift nod. The man looked at Super a moment, before brushing off the look and heading inside. "Racist." Super grumbled under his breath as he checked the main headline, something he always did last for some reason or another. "Bank investigates broken light bulbs near their parking lot. Old lady cuts foot. Whoopdie doo. Bank thinks bulbs exploded.... work of teenagers... Blah-deblah-de-blah, and I'm bored." He exclaimed as he deemed enough time had passed for a reasonable amount of coffee to have surfaced in the coffee maker, and headed inside.

(heee!! Fallen likes this idea! *begins to think*)
"Are yopu sure we're not lost?" she asked as she looked over towards her twin brother, who was spinning the man around over and over again.
"I'm sure...I'm sure." her brother replied as he waved his hand up and down, trying to sush the contense naging of his twin--and strangely yellow fured twin sister.
"I can't help it." the yellow wolf said as she let out a bit of a sigh. She wasn't scared of being lost, but she had never been to a city before, so all the strange noises and bright lights of the city, she didn't feel all comfortable at the the moment. The only good side to what was going on, was her ability to adapt to things quickly.
"This would be easier if you hadn't busted all of those lights earlier on." the black and silver wolf said, as he looked up from the map and over towards his sister.
"...It was an accident." she muttered out a second later. "I thought I already told you that Bullet."
The black and silver wolf let out a bit of a sigh as he stared at his sister.
"I know--" he started, before getting cut off as his stomach growled. "Let's go find something to eat..."
Sparky stared at her stomach as well and gave a nod, she turned and quickly followed after her brother.
"Do you even know where a restuarant is?"
"No--but I'm sure I can find one." Bullet said.
"That's what you said about a place to stay!!!" Sparky yelled and began to flail her arms, causing eletricty to shoot out. The lights that were around them began to flicker wildly.

Thanos sighed a merciless sigh. It'd had been a year since he left the anarchic filled town he left all behind him. His past was filled with grief, but he'd never show it. He walked lightly not making a sound in the shadow of the new town. It was much larger, and most likely fill with more corruption than just about everywhere else he'd been. He had a sixth sense as he soon called it about corruption, specifically when it came to politics. Thanos breath was multiplied and was making the loudest sound, aside from his stomach. And him not have nothing much aside from what little money he had in pocket. Five dollars...just amazing... Five dollars that he'd saving for a rainy day, and well to wasn't raining now is it? A human looked at him, down this ally, this blank and vile ally, and scuffed. So it isn't that different from here from anywhere else he has been. He hadn't seen someone like himself in a while, where as him his town, the humans and his kind were common, but then again his town was considerably small, population of like a hundred at most and he was never look down on...He'd lived in a bubble, that was popped as soon as he left the soon to be vacant town. He had reached the end of the ally now. It was so much lighter out here than in the ally. Thanos stepped outside of the ally and stretched his body, his wings were cramped in the small space of the ally. He was by the bank, and he was hunger.

Super walked back in after a moment outside, enjoying the air of the city. He had simple pleasures, but he was glad he had finally moved into the line between suburb and city from his place way out in the countryside. As he strolled into the living room, he sniffed the air. The aroma of whatever Sickle was making had started to fill the house, and the Hedgehog stopped a moment to take in the smells. Working around the treason and the danger of keeping Sickle around, it was actually sort of nice with him there. No longer was the hedgehog a friendless hermit, but he had an aquiatence who, even better, could cook!
Sure, the hedgehog could cook as well, but the wolf's ability far out-shined his own. Even for being a G.U.N. super weapon, somehow the wolf had gained some household habits. Super racked that up to some sort of mission where he had to infiltrate and murder some drug lord. They normally gave those missions to rookie agents. Something about being still pure enough to act innocent.
Entering the kitchen, the hedgehog grabbed a coffee mug for his black drink. A picture of a small brook was emblazoned upon it, simple and elegant at the same time, which may explain why Super had bought it in the first place. Filling the cup, Super hadn't the sense to drink anything but black, which may explain his distaste for coffee, and took a sip. Cringing, he made his way to the table and sat down, trying to wake up fully. The wolf gave a quick wave. Super nodded in response.
"Bacon and eggs. You like them in any special way?" Sickle asked, breaking the silence. Super looked at the wolf, bemused.
"Any way is fine. Scrambled eggs, I suppose." Super explained. Sickle frowned. The hedgehog knew why, and shrugged. "Like I said, any way is fine. Run wild." He suggested. Sickle gave him a wry look, but then brightened up. Going nuts on the eggs, they started making a different shape. Snatching some more ingredients, he cut up some extra bacon and added it to the concoction on the stove. Flipping the omelets, he made them land perfectly on two nearby plates. placing the leftover bacon on the plate as well, he headed to the table and placed his own plate on the opposite side of Super. He walked passed Super with the other plate and placed it it front of him as he went, and grabbed a coffee mug for himself. After he sat down did Super get up and grab the silverware.
"Heh. Sorry about that, forgot." Sickle apologized. Super, too tired to talk much, shrugged it off and gave Sickle a knife and fork before sitting down again.
It took a minute before Super spoke again. "Don't apologize for it. It's a good omelet. You made it, I should be thanking you." He corrected, but in the end, Sickle won the argument stating that Super allowed him to stay there in the first place, which the hedgehog had to agree about, adding a quick smirk. A rarity, Sickle found, is that Super rarely gave a smile. He would give a smirk and his face would break for the odd laugh, but in his time staying with the Hedgehog, he found that he had only seen Super smile once, and that was when Sickle himself grabbed the paper, showing he was finally ready enough to go outside without thinking G.U.N. was going to take him away as soon as he showed his face. Apparently, Super was big into bravery and self-improvement.
"So, Super, what's on the agenda today?" The wolf asked. He had begun many breakfast conversations the same way for the past week. Everyday, Super had begun to talk more in the morning. At first, the hedgehog was uneasy talking about his plans for the day, but as they lived together and got to know more about each other, they slowly were becoming good friends, and it was easier to talk to each other.
The hedgehog thought a moment before answering. "I'm not sure. I'm burned out from working in the lab. Perhaps I'll go out into the city." He explained. He suspected Sickle to fold his ears back and mumble something on how he had to do something int he house, and that's what would have happened.
((In the real continuum, He did. But in this universe...))
Instead, the wolf nodded slowly. "What are you gonna do there? What is there to do in the city?" He asked, interested in what his new home had to offer. Super, to say the least, was caught by surprise.
"You're actually considering coming with me into the city?" He asked. Sickle hesitated, but ended up nodding. Super gave a chuckle, but no real smile was present on his features. "Well, there's a bit to do, actually. There's a large Arcade on Bikk Street, and there's always central park, near the hospital. It's a great place to just walk in, and today is the art fair, I think." He described. "Plus there is just a lot to do there. If you ever get a date, Wolfie, you best take her out for a night on the town. The night life is great." He suggested.
"Ugh. Don't call me that." The wolf's ears went down. If anything, it made him look cute. Super gave a smirk.
"What, Wolfie?" He echoed.
Sickle nodded, ears still down. "Yeah, makes me sound like a pet." He muttered. Super chuckled a bit more before agreeing not to call him that again. "I mean, it's sorta degrading too, Wolfie..."
"Look out though, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who would love to give you that nickname, and you're just gonna have to take it." Super informed. Sickle huffed a moment, before asking about money. Super continued, "I have the money do a bit, definitely enough for a day. Let's say we head out in an hour. I feel like I need a shower. You too." He sniffed, finishing his omelet. Putting the plate in the sink, he left the room, leaving Sickle alone to sniff his armpit.
"Whoo... maybe he's right." Sickle commented, before mimicking Super and leaving the room.

Thanos recoiled his arms down to his sides, and began to walk towards down the bank, more toward the down town district, maybe he could find out some information about this town, seems a little odd to him, walking now that he saw the humans looking at him, they store at his face, more towards his face than anything else, people didn't seem to understand who or what for that matter he was. When it came down to it, Thanos didn't really care, that is unless one of the people acted against him, then things would get real ugly really quickly.
Thanos wings stood out in the sunlight more than anything else in this place, the black in the glistened in the way only black could in the sunlight, dim of the morning. It had to have been about eleven in the morning. He took a look around the town, nothing was out of the ordinary. However there was an commonly large group of people watching the televisions in the display case in at the end of the block.
Wonder what their stick is? Thanos thought to himself, silence broke over them as Thanos walked over to them, he probably only came up to their top of the ribs on the group of the males. He felt inferior to them, that his size was an issue at hand. However they silently parted way for him, Thanos had his wings fanned out so it would seem that his size were larger that of what his size really was. He shot a glare at a few of them that were staring down at him. His eyes quickly darted to the television, which happened to be the only thing making any sound at this point in time.
He walked forward a few steps to try to get a better view he was hoping to hear the weather for the night, so he could hope that he could plan where to stay the night, whether he should seek out some form of shelter, or not, or to try to tell if the weatherman was lying or not. Thanos got the information that he need and continue his way lowering his wings and the awareness of those around him that lead him to use his street smarts to walk away from the unsuspecting crowd. Thanos continued down the street taking the ally. Then leaping up to the top of the nearby fire escape quite quickly, his body blending quite throughly into the shadows, allowing him to count his wealth. The wallet was littered with forms identification and of a bit of cash. He was slightly richer, he only took what he need for now and to get him to the next week. He then dropped the wallet on the sidewalk in the broad daylight for he didn't want the crowd to riot.
The guy start to already look around, Thanos guessed that he was looking for his wallet that he'd grabbed. But the wallet was blocks away from him now, and he was no where in sight of the man now.
At least now I can get some food. Thanos said with a sigh before he hear a faint angry cry, then a cry of relief quickly advocated shortly after. Thanos pick up his pace, he needed to pick up some food quickly, he was terrible hungry. And pizza was sound all too good.

"Are you positive we don't have to talk to anyone to set up here?"
Serena looked up at her worried friend, Maven, who she always felt was a bit too cautious for his own good. At the moment, Seren was opening the hard-leather case for her acoustic and weighing it down with a rock so it wouldn't fall over. They were stationed just barely within the limits of the art fair which was planned to last the weekend, starting in approximately twelve minutes, according to Maven's watch.
With a soothing smile, Seren dismissed Maven's concerns. "Mave, I'm almost positive. I mean, half of these people look so unorganized they wouldn't even begin to comprehend the process of renting a space or anything like that."
Seren held a heavy pick between her teeth and strummed a few chords, beginning to tune the guitar.
Maven gave a sigh and played with the settings on his watch, trying to work out the kink where the projection would just randomly turn on. He commonly did this to distract his buzzing mind from worries about permits or if Serena could make enough cash with her guitar to feed them tonight, or what they'd do the next day or the next day as they ventured on looking for some kind of calling or movement that needed their help.

"Bullet!' Sparky yelled into her twin brother's ear, causing the black and silver wolf to jump out of his skin.
"Huh? What?!" he asked, as he looked around for a bit. Blinking a bit more, he glanced over towards his sister, who was staring right back at her. "What??"
"You were zoning out." Sparky said, as she looked at Bullet. "Further more, you weren't listening to what I was saying!"
Bullet muttered something, before yelling a bit as sparky zapped his ear.
"Ow! Alright?! What?!"
"Listen!!" Sparky growled. "There's a pizza place over there--we're both hungry, so lets go get something to eat--alright?"
Bullet gave a bit of a nod, before allowing his twin sister to lead him in the direction of the pizza place.
"Why were you zoning out anyway?" the yellow wolf asked, as she reached the door of the restaurant, and reached out towards the door.
"...I thought i saw a pickpocket..." Bullet whispered softly, as he walked in through the door and into the restaurant.

Thanos gave a smile at the greatest place his eyes had seen in quite some time.
A pizza plaza...
Thanos opened the door and with an average bell/buzz alerted the owners that he'd came here. Thanos gave the place a quick look over, he wasn't the only one that look out of the ordinary, there was two wolves, Thanos however ingored them, him being new to this town he didn't need to bring any unwanted attention towards himself. Thanos went up to the counter casually and order a couple of slices, he fumbled through his pockets and picked out the a twenty, a large bill he needed to break down to something a little more manageable. He was told to wait as he was handled his change, three fives and some change he told them they could keep. He took a seat near the window and slowly pulled out what money he had left, an wrinkly five that he was saving, and quite frankly what he'd just gotten now, the fives he'd just gotten back look a lot newer than the ones from the one he was saving. Folded them up and placed them back into his pocket and waited.
Thank goodness that I'm not the only here, maybe these bigots will be more accepting, now that their are a bit more of us around. Thanos thought to himself. The gas masks seem a bit lower than normal, then again, its was quieter in the pizza joint than it was outside. Thanos took a deep breath in and stretched out body, wings and all, he heard a couple of cracks and pops and called it good, then exhaling slowly, he was glad no one was directly behind him.
Thanos could smell the cheese from the kitchen, his mouth began to water under his gas mask. As the waiter brought his order to him.
Thanos waited until the waiter left before pulling the mask around his neck and sinking his white fangs into the cheese pizza. The slices were a bit larger than he remember, but then again it had been some time since he actually ate a slice. He pulled the slice away from his mouth, to find out that the cheese was gooier than he thought, he quickly grabbed the nearby napkin dispenser and pulled out a napkin, and cleaned the sauce from his white face.

Bullet looked around cautiously for a moment, as if he was looking for danger or something. which was a it strange. there usually wouldn't be any type of danger in simple restaurant right? Glancing over towards her twin brother, Sparky caught her brother checking the place out and let out a bit of a sigh, she spun around on her heel, crossed her arms across her chest and walked over towards her brother.
"Bullet!!" Sparky yelled out, in the direction of her brother--unaware of the fact that she was getting a bit to close to a nearby juice box. By the time that the black and silver wolf realized what was about to happen, it was too late to stop his sister--or what was going to happen next. The exact moment Sparky got close to the juice box, the music machine began to act strange. It began to hum for a moment, before quickly beginning to play music--even though no one had inserted money into it--or chosen a song.
The sudden sound, the of music caused Sparky to jump out of her skin, as she became panicked, the electricity in her body began to go haywire, causing the lights in the restaurant to flicker and anything else that was electrical to begin to go haywire, turning off and on, flickering like crazy. Raising her hands in surprise, the yellow wolf quickly and covered her ears with hands, getting more freaked out as the unstable electricity in her body began to effect everything.
"Sparky!!!" Bullet said, trying to get close to his sister--without getting a nasty shock. "Sparky calm down!!"
"I'm trying!!" Sparky yelled back, before letting out a yelp as a light above her exploded from the overload of of electricity.

Thanos quickier than anyone else notice what was going on, this wasn't good. he wadded up the napkin and threw on to the plate, he still had a slice to eat, but he'd finish it of before left. Thanos' fluffy fur was standing on end now. These people were in danger, and some were panicking...He wanted to tell them everything was going to be okay, and that nothing bad was going happen. He wanted to, but why make a scene, he didn't know this people, and he really didn't care to get involved, he was really out to save himself.
Thanos' body was acting fast that he could comprehend. He took a breath and place the gas mask over his face, and exhaled, the Thanos' could barely see over his fur as he began to simple walk towards the wolf, in moment, he flashed over to the shadow of the jukebox and quieted it with his fist. The he started walking toward the wolf now. Trying as much as possible to avoid be shocked with electricity his could probably power a light bulb with the static that was building up in his fur, he noticed that the light bulbs were popping the store owner was cowing behind the service desk. Thanos' gave a glare that quieted his complaints about what was happening, but did little to no effect to rest of the crowd.
Thanos' just wanted a break, but no he had to go around and start breaking things, but as long as there was a shadow, large enough for him to disappear into, he'd be safe, but what about them?
The wolves, he knew they were in danger, but he couldn't really do anything, but get the two of them out of here, the one acted as if they knew the other, but he couldn't be sure through the commotion. Thanos had to take his chances, with the majority of light being out now. Thanos had the upper hand if things were going to get ugly, he slowly began to advance, slowly building up his pace, but drawing little attention to himself.

Bullet's black ears twitched when he noticed that the sound of the juice box had stopped. Looking away from his sister, he glanced over toawrds the masked bat that was coming their way.
At first, he couldn't tell what animal it was--but it wasn't until he stared at it's wings and ears that he was able to put it together.
On the other hand, Sparky was completely unaware of what was going on right now, she was trying her best to calm down, trying to get the eletricity that was shooting from her body to settle down, that way the lights would stop flickering or worse, exploding.
Each time a light exploded, Sparky would become more frightened by the noises, and the fact that she knew she was loosing control every second, and would cover her head more, causing the eletricity that was filling the room to rise.
Bullet watched the masked bat silently, unsure what he wanted at the point. He didn't exactly trust him, but then again, seeing that he was a over protective when it came to his sister, he didn't trust many guys around her anyway. The black and silver wolf glanced between his sister and bat, trying to figure out what he was supposed to do. He wanted to help his sister, but he wanted to keep his eyes on the bat that was slowly approaching them as well.

Alright. Thanos thought, I've drawn too much attention to myself.
In moments he faded away into the shadows, as abundant as they were he found it relatively easy to get just about anyway in the pizza place. When he reappeared he would be fighting back electricity from the golden wolf. Mere feet away, Thanos had no choice, this was going more difficult that he thought, if he were to phase, he'd only get a block away in any direction, and then who's to say they were going to be safe. And who's to say he wouldn't die in the process. He'd just be a charred bat wing superconductor.
Electricity floated past his face and connect with a fork on the table. The crackle was almost deafening, but he knew he needed to act now. Stepped up a moment, prepared for his crazy antic. He was quick throw his weight to the the upper part of his torso and with a bat of his wings added to his movement, he phased in front of her, the wolf would that was tracking he from before, would prove to be more helpful than anything, with the lights dimmed almost completely out, Thanos with the golden electric wolf disappeared into the shadows of the black wolf's body.
Then for a moment Thanos didn't know what he should do, or where he was, a bolt of electricity had connected with him head on, he felt it pass through his body right down to his toes.
What had happened was he had made contact with one of the metal lamp shades, the electricity had flowed through his body, through his leg, injuring his leg, but not nullifying his phasing.
Thanos came to, he had taken the wolf to the a block away, to a ally, Thanos felt his wounded leg, it was where the Krisses were, they must still be in the resturant, his pant leg was shredded up to just above his leg, down below his shin there was a burn mark the shape of the curved blade, Thanos breathed in sharply through the gas mask, and let it out slowly. He had a feeling that he wasn't out of the water just yet.

It was silent in the small apartment building, Slash's parts and old GUN projects pushed up against the wall, making the room all the smaller. A small couch, a TV, and a lamp were the only items in the living room, and even then it seemed as if the small room had reached it's capacity.
Slash sat, hands clasped, staring at the floor. He sighed heavily, then lifted his head towards a shallow hallway. But as he seemed to focus down it, he grumbbled slightly while scratching the back of his head. But after a few moments of this, he stopped, only to look once again to the same hallway.
"Fine..." He grunted under his breath, pushing himself off of his knees. As he menuvered through the mechanical junk that had fallen off the original pile. As he hopped around, suddenly a mechanical scensor fell of the pile and onto his foot. With an angry howl, Slash grabbed onto his foot, cursing furiously.
"GOD**** FRICKEN GUN IDIOTS SHOVING ALL THEIR LOOSE **** ON ME! WHO THE **** DO THEY ****ING THINK THEY ARE!??!"
As he continued to hop around angrily, he stopped suddenly when he came to a door. He stared at it for a moment, almost wondering if he should just turn tail back to the living room, but as he began to shift, he heard small noises come out of the room. Whimpers...sobs... ears dropped slightly, Slash turned to the door, and opened it. The room was dark, and a small white figure seemed to glow on the bed.
Ringing his hands nervously, he made his way to the end of the bed, only to have the figure turn away from him. At first he seemed suprised, but his face softened as the small face seemed to turn slightly toward him.
"Hey Lea....." He said warmly. The small body curled inwardly, pulling the covers over her shoulders.
"Hey...." She let her head fall back lightly into the pillow.
"Um.......I was gonna head out into the city today....kinda get some fresh air...you wanna come?" There was no answer, merely the shuffling noise of her shaking her head. Almost immediatley, Slash's timid demenor broke into his usual brash behavior. "Aw c'mon Lee! You've been at this for almost a week! You've gotta let this go!" There was no answer, so Slash continued. "Look, I know you liked this Poisoned guy, and I know it was wrong for him to leave you but-but this! You hardly eat, you don't sleep- all you do all day is take a shower in the morning and then go right back to bed!"
Slash held his arms up in exasperation, gasping for breath, waiting for some sort of response.....but it never came. After a moment, almost trying to will her to speak, Slash gave a saddened exhale. He'd given up.
With his last remainder of strength, he looked away from her, scratching the back of his neck.
"Y.....You want me to bring you back anything....?" No answer. "Oh, ok."
After putting on his boots, and getting his wallet, Slash reached for his communicator on the fridge, but paused before taking it. She wouldn't be talking to anyone soon. After kicking some machines aside, he grabbed his keys under the mat, went out the door, and locked it up.
Going down the long hallway of appartments, or as he called them "shacks," he seemed to be more and more aware of how desperate their situation was starting to be. It had been almost a year since both he and Lea quit GUN, and only a few months since Lea's tragic encounter with Poisoned. Though she had not been able to even speak that day, after a while she seemed to be alright. She was functioning, doing missions, keeping herself busy, but one day, for whatever reason, she just seemed to totally break down. She was only 14...and had her first breakdown already......Life was sure gonna be tough for her, as if it hadn't been from the start.
Slash began to walk aimlessly, going past alleyways, dodging humans that seemed totally uncaring of his presense. Perhaps it was because he was almost as tall as an average human female, so the fact he could look at them in the eye made them wary. He knew it probably wasn't his strength, since his muscles -though starting to show themselves- weren't too intimidating. (He was 18, so he wasn't so muscly. And was a bit shorter) Nontheless, he continued, hands shoved into his pockets.
Suddenly, his ears picked up a familiar sound. One that he had encountered in his time at the GUN labs.
"Electrostatic discharge?" He looked over to the source of the noise, which was a small pizza place. His ears went back slightly in confusion, but before he could investigate the same sound shot off again. Only now it seemed behind him. A nearby alley suddenly seemed alit by the small glow of electricity, and then he heard a dull thump. Realizing that it may be someone injured, Slash rushed over to see what was amiss.
On the ground was a bat wearing a gas mask, and a yellow wolf.
"Hey, are you guys alright?" He looked down at the bat, whose paintleg was in shreds. "Whoa....what the h*** happened here?"

Thanos breathed in sharply. He looked over to the wolf, and then over at the white before he breathed out, the breath echoed in the nearly vacant ally. He was sitting up against a brick wall, he managed to pull himself over to the wall before the white wolf had got there. Before the question was asked he already knew his answer.
"I'm fine." He said sharply through the gas mask, his voice echoing and altering his voice deeper than it actually was. "I mean no offense, but I really have no idea what has happened. I acted, nothing more and nothing less." Thanos stated, his peircing orange eyes staring the white wolf dead into the eyes.
"Do you happen to know her?" Thanos asked before the white wolf could respond to his statement.
To think I just wanted a slice of pizza. Thanos grinned under his mask with an under the breath chuckle. "Look, I'm going to stick around until I know whats going on." For all he knew, the wolf was knocked out cold, or listening to this entire conversation. He leaned his head back against the brick under the fire escape, the sun was over head now and staring him right in the face. He wanted to laugh and smile in the sun, it was the first sight of actually warm had taken in in a long time, aside from the now burning blood racing down the side of his leg. Come to think of it, it really didn't hurt. Adrenaline had kicked in and was slowly wearing off.
He looked over down to the golden wolf. What have I've gotten myself into this time?
Thanos breathed in sharply as he tried to attempt to get up ...Nope not a good idea. He decided with hardly moving. Thanos was to proud to actually accept help from others. It why he was the way he is now, taking without asking, to only benefit himself, but then why did he save everyone in the restaurant? He should have let them all fry for being bigots.
His eyes darted back between the two. Could those two be related...more or less what this the wolf from the restaurant. Am I way over my head. Sweat started to trickle down his forehead...Not good defiantly not good.
