"What the slag was that?!"
I rolled over with a groan, surprised that he was still here, and weirder still,
so was I. Rampage looked over at me from his odd perch on the sofa, shock on his
face at the odd sound of my very loud alarm clock. Finally picking the nuisance
up from the floor I noted the time. Gah! Seven thirty! I was going to be late!
Jumping up I threw the covers to the side in a made dash to get to the showers
before the others woke up. CRASH!
Unfortunately the crab decided to walk into my dash line, and I collided with
him head on. He looked down at me and snickered, simply standing there watching
me rub my head to stop the oncoming headache. Growling under my breath I shoved
my way past the red blob and ran to the hallway. Just in time to see Michelle
close the door.
"Aaargh! Now I’m gonna be even later!" I heard the water turn on and
muttered curses under my breath. Fine! I’ll shower when I get home then.
I went to the kitchen where there was already a pot of coffee brewing, grabbing
my favorite gray and silver heart mug I moved the pot over and placed the mug
under the stream until it was full and replaced the mug. Taking two spoonfuls of
sugar and whitener and dumping it into the black liquid caffeine. Sighing
gratefully after the first sip. I felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around I
looked up at Rampage with a start.
"Geez, make some noise when you approach someone will ya?! A heart attack
first thing in the morning is not what I had in mind!"
He grinned down at me, causing me to shudder again at the weird sight of it. You
know, I’m starting to really dislike empaths. But, that’s besides the
point…what was the point again?
Oh yeah,…crabby giving me a heart attack…
"What is it?"
"I’m hungry."
I eyed him, "Okay… how about some eggs and bacon?"
"Bacon?" He gave me a look at the odd word, so I decided to elaborate
on terms he’d understand.
"Bacon is strips of meat and flesh that has been cut out of a pig for our
eating benefits."
He grinned. How the hell can he do that with his mouth!? It’s so freaky.
"Bacon sounds good."
Not having enough time to fry it up myself, I slapped some bacon onto a paper
towel covered plate and put it into the microwave to be cooked by gamma rays or
something. And began on the eggs.
"How do you want your eggs?"
"Raw."
"Forget I asked." I decided scrambled would suit him, and began to
mash the eggs up, adding a few spices along the way for flavor.
"Here you go." I set the plate down in front of him. Watching him for
a second as he inhaled the food before leaving to get dressed.
Coming back out with a pair of dark jeans and a brown tee shirt on, I grabbed my
backpack and sat down on the couch to tie up my sneakers. I heard Rampage still
eating, and someone walking into the kitchen, looking up I saw Michelle.
"Cheets still in bed?" She nodded. "Alright then, I probably
won’t be home for a bit, so don’t expect me for supper." She shrugged,
taking a sip of her tea, and looked over to Rampage.
"So, what are your plans for today Raphael?" Rampage, obviously not
realizing she was addressing him, simply pushed the empty plate away with a loud
belch. I wrinkled my nose.
"Dear Goddess that was gross. Excuse yourself!"
He glared at me but said nothing. Pig. I stood up and walked over to him, he was
my height now because he was sitting on a chair that by rights should have
collapsed under his weight. But then, that would be asking for some logic’s
and sanity. Something that we all know was destroyed yesterday afternoon.
"Listen, I have to go to school, after school I’ll be back long enough to
shower, change and leave with Jonathan. You will be on your best behavior while
I’m gone. Do you understand me?" I tried to make my voice as menacing as
possible, and I usually can scare the ones I want into listening. But then
again, none of them kill for a living like him.
Oddly enough, I watched as he nodded his head. "I’ll behave."
……I gotta remember to thank Starath and Michael later…. They’re good.
Taking one last look, trying to remember how the apartment looked before I left,
I had a feeling it wouldn’t look this way when I came back. And left. Putting
my headphones on I lost myself in the music of T.A.t.U.
School was as uneventful as usual. Showed up late for English, wrote a test in
math, and finished a project in CRS (Computer Related Studies). When the day was
finally over, and I was on my way home, I saw an ambulance parked in our parking
lot. Freaking I bolted through the doors, looking down both hallways for the men
in white, before going to the apartment. Looking everywhere I finally found
Rampage sound asleep on my bed, sprawled so his limbs hung off the edge.
"You!" I smirked in satisfaction when he jumped, and I stalked over to
the bed, "What did you do now?"
"What the slag are you talking about?"
"There’s an ambulance outside, now what did you do? I swear if you killed
someone. Intentionally or not, I will find some way to make you hurt…" I
just couldn’t think of any right now….
He sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed, "I didn’t do
anything. I’ve been here the whole time, I swear!"
"Yeah, I know you do, I’ve heard you."
He growled at me. Finally, a sound I recognized from him! "I didn’t do a
thing, by the Matrix I didn’t! I can’t even if I wanted too."
"You… can’t? How come?"
"Your friends have my spark, or did your puny mind forget that?" He
sneered.
So that’s why he’s been behaving! I am so going to send a box full of rubber
duckies to Megs this Christmas!
"That’s right! So you wouldn’t have…"
"Hey LV, you in there?" I looked out the door at Cheetras call.
"What is it?"
"Some woman just had a heart attack on the fifth floor, apparently she had
stopped taking her medication." She answered me.
"Cheets, have you been here the whole time?"
"Yeah, why?"
I sighed into my hands, "No reason." I looked back over to the very
angry crab in front of me.
"Alright, alright, I’m sorry I doubted you. But I mean, come on. In all
honesty, when have you ever told the truth? About a thing you didn’t
do?" I interrupted when he opened his mouth.
He grumbled something, but I didn’t hear it. Grabbing my towel off the
bookshelf I left for the bathroom. Glad to have the entire shower to myself for
a good hour.
Once all done and clean, I grabbed the blow dryer to my wet hair. Once dry I
started to dress when I heard the knob click for a second before opening up,
revealing me and the crab.
"AAAAAAHHHHH, get out of here you perv!" I grabbed the blow dryer and
threw it at him, but it only hit the door as he shut it as quickly as he had
opened it.
That’s it! I have got to teach that bot some manners!
I finished dressing and left in search of him.
"He’s hiding, he keeps saying something about energon and a spark."
Search as I might, I couldn’t find the damn bot. How hard could it have been
to find a large robot or transmetal crab in a three bedroom apartment?
Apparently harder than I thought, because after an hour I gave up. Instead going
back to get ready for my date. Which would be here any minute. Going to my
closet to find a jacket I opened the sliding doors, and stepped back as a large
from fell at my feet.
Stepping over Rampage, I grabbed my purple vest. And closed the door, stepping
over the crab again. But he reached out and grabbed my ankle, causing me to
fall.
"Grrr….what do you think you are doing?" I looked back at him, and
he was looking… embarrassed?
"I’m… I’m… slaggit I’m sorry alright!"
"You’re sorry? Well you should be! Next time you should knock before
entering anyplace."
He nodded, and let go of my ankle. He watched me closely, after a few minutes it
began to freak me out.
"What? What are you staring at?"
"You’re not… going to punish me?"
"Why? Cause you saw me butt naked? I should…but I’m too busy to think
up a punishment right now. Later, after I come home."
"You’re going away again?"
What is with all these emotions? The show never showed a nervous Rampage.
"Yeah, I told you, I have a date. You’ll be fine here with Michelle and
Cheetra… as long as you don’t try and kill them."
"But…"
"What? What’s wrong?"
"It’s that friend of yours, Michelle. I think she knows about me."
I…huh? "Have you been talking to those guys on MSN again?" When I
saw him nod I sighed. "Look, she’s not going to try experiments on you.
She won’t send you away to Megatron either. She’s a vegetarian, she’ll
probably do what ever she can to save the animal side of you."
He nodded, but seemed a bit reluctant. But there was no time to waste. The phone
rang, and I heard Cheetra answer it.
"That was your boytoy." She called down to me.
I stood and went to the door, putting my boots on and grabbing my purse. Turning
to say bye I saw Rampage right behind me.
"I told you to make some noise! Cripes!"
He ducked his head, and looked down.
"Uh… Lady Venom, may I come with you?"
I whined. I do not want a puppy!
