Forgiveness?
THE NEXT DAY
Daisy POV
I was walking down the street to get some food when I saw around 25 Watchdogs picking on a kid in a wheelchair. Really? They need 25, just to pick on a kid? That's just straight-up rude. I should help the poor kid out.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted.
They stopped attacking the kid and turned to me, "Leave the kid," one of them said, as he backed away from the kid and turned to me, "This one's betta, this one's... Quake." They all started to walk towards me and I got into a fighting position. "Get out of here kid!" I shout, before getting punched in the head. I turned to the kid and he started to make his way up the street. Thank god I hope he isn't that badly hurt. I continued to fight the Watchdogs, however, I was massively outnumbered.
Gabe POV
I used my wheelchair to go as fast I could down the street until I looked back at the girl to see her get punched in the head. Is she really Quake? But I thought the news said that Quake is a dangerous vigilante, that girl was nice. Maybe the news just didn't know much about her. She's not that bad, I suppose.
Suddenly, a black 69 charger parked in front of me, which I recognised as Robbie's car. Thank god he was here; I can get out of this place. But Quake probably needs help, you know what, Robbie should just help her. Robbie clicked his fingers in front of my face, snapping me out of my thought journey. "Earth to Gabe." he said.
I shook my head then said, "Sorry, Robbie."
"It's fine, I thought that maybe some people would be hurting you." He saw the confusion on my face because he then said. "When there's a blackout people think they can get away with anything, even in the light of day."
"I was being attacked by some really mean dudes, but this nice girl came and stopped them, then they started attacking her." I said. "You should go help her, Rob, there were a lot of them."
"You sure you're okay?" he asked me. He is so caring sometimes.
"Yeah I'm fine, but I'm not sure about the girl." I said.
"Do you know who helped you?"
"I think one of the guys called her 'Quake', before attacking her, but I might have miss-heard them." I said.
"Who's Quake?" He asked. Seriously, doesn't he watch the news, has he been living under a rock?
"Don't you watch the news?" He shook his head, I sighed. "It doesn't matter. Just go help her, bro."
"Okay, stay behind the car and out of sight." he told me and I nodded my head.
Robbie POV
After hearing what Gabe said, I decided that the girl.' Quake?' did he say? I cant remember. Anyway, she probably needed help.
When I got to the place Gabe told me about I saw one of them choking a girl. I couldn't get a clear view but I could tell that she was trying to get air. Oh gods I have to help her. I ran over to the two and kicked the guy off of her. She dropped to the ground, taking in all the air that she could, and breathing heavily.
I really hope she's okay, I mean she saved my brother. I still couldn't see her face but the people wanted to get to her. I morphed into the rider and tore through the men. The rider absolutely hated them. These people must be really bad if the rider hated them this much.
I changed back to my human form and went over to the girl to help her. What the hell? Why would she help my brother after what I put her through? "What?" I said shocked.
Daisy POV (from a few minutes ago)
I received another hit in the head. I looked behind the 7 guys that were still left and I saw that around 12 more Watchdogs had arrived. Damn it. A guy behind me grabbed my throat and pushed me down against a crate, choking me. I could feel my breath being taken away. Darkness lined the edges of my vision. It's over, at least I'll be with Lincoln, I thought before someone knocked the other guy off of me. I dropped to the floor, trying to regain my breath. I looked up at who had just saved my life, sort of expecting Percy, but I saw the back of the man who I fought yesterday. Why would he save me, not that I'm complaining. I'm so thankful he showed up, cuz otherwise, I wouldn't be alive. Did he know it was me he was saving; probably not, right? I don't think he's seen my face yet.
He took them all out and he started to come over to me, "What?"
"Yeah, I was shocked to see you saving me, after yesterday."
"Sorry about that, I thought that you were also robbing the gas station. What were you doing that close to the gas station even though you knew it was getting robbed?" He asked holding out an arm to help me. I took his arm and he pulled me up.
"Well, I was going to stop them from robbing the station, until you showed up then stopped them before me." I explained.
"Oh, are you okay, that guy had you in a tough position there."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I wouldn't have been if you hadn't shown up. Thanks for that, you know, saving my life."
"No problem, I kind of owed it to you, after what happened yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, how did you get out from that predicament, seeing as I didn't stick around?"
"This guy called Percy helped me."
"Good, what did he look like."
"He had black hair and sea-green eyes. He was wearing blue jeans, a light blue shirt, and a greyish jacket."
"Cool, glad he helped out. Um, could you ever forgive me?" He asked, with a hint of worry in his eyes. Is he worried that I'll say no? Why in the world would I say no, he just saved my life for god sake.
"Is that even a question? You just saved my life for god sake, of course I can forgive you, I already have."
"Thanks, for forgiving me. I gotta go and check on my brother." He told me. I raised my eyebrows.
"Oh? Was he in danger?" I asked
"Actually, he was the one in the wheelchair you saved, so, thanks for that."
"Really? I didn't know that, but even if I did it wouldn't have stopped me from doing it. I have to go now, wait a minute." I said.
"What's up?"
"What's your name, and your brother's?"
"Robbie, and my brother's Gabe. You?"
"Daisy."
"Bye, Daisy."
"Bye, Robbie." I waved with the arm I hurt yesterday. I winced.
"Are you okay?" he asked, the concern in his voice was clear.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. I turned around and walked away, back the way I was going before all of this happened. I thought about him and Percy on my way, how they were both so kind, how they both helped me. It's kind of nice knowing some people, other than S.H.I.E.L.D agents.
