To be or not to be (Heroes)

Jack stared at her in surprise and shuddered at her words. Although it was hard to believe that someone of her size and strength could throw him through a bookshelf, he still felt threatened just by the tone of voice she used. This girl was feisty and he appreciated that. No meant no. He hadn't often been turned down and wasn't sure what to do now. "Once again my apologies milady. What is it I can do to convince you to go out to eat with me? Nothing? Alright I'll leave you be and return to the movie, I suppose." Jack turned away, rolling his eyes a little, disappointed that he had failed. He never failed, and if he did he usually just ended up killing the one who had made him fail. But he couldn't kill her, he had no true reason too.

What was there to do now. There was not a soul to comfort him. It was rather frustrating. Then he remembered feeling a pack of cigarettes in his pocket earlier. Yes. He really needed one at this point. Without hesitation, Jack walked out of the book store and pulled out the pack, there were only two left. One for him, and one for... well. Whatever. She wouldn't like him anyway, was it the way he looked? Or was it his social awkwardness that deterred her? WHATEVER. He didn't care, there were more important things to think about. Like how he had forgotten to bring his dufflebag out on the town, luckily for him he always kept a spare hidden away somewhere in the city if he needed to change quickly. The outfit and mask wasn't cheap, but he could get money whenever despite not being a thief he was damn good at thievery.

In the distance, he heard police sirens and wondered what was going on. Probably another old-timer having a heart attack or a cat stuck in a tree. Not his problem. If it was something like, another one of his 'buddies' then it would be his problem. But no, it couldn't have been, too little chaos in the air.

With nothing to light his cigarette with, he wandered back inside and to the counter once again. "Excuse me, Miss. 'I will throw you through that bookshelf over there'. I'd HATE to bother you again." He glanced over his shoulder to make sure none of the fanboys were giving him dirty looks then returned his gaze to the red haired one. "I was wondering if you had a lighter or a match I could use... It's kind of important. Like VERY important actually. Life or death, really."

Jack:

To be or not to be (Heroes)

sorry i didn't post early. couldn't think of what to make Jack to say lol. so I just made him babble.

To be or not to be (Heroes)

It took about 30 seconds to almost a minute for him to reply. He had to think about what he wanted to say. There were so many options. He could ask her to come home with him, or to go on a date. Or he could compliment her hair or her... her eyes. Those eyes, they were so familiar. The amber color was uncommon but not completely rare. They were not dissimilar to the girl hero, Trick that he had fought the night before. But there was no way this young book store clerk with the long, red hair could be the same girl. "Hey." He gave a small friendly smirk, he attempted to talk softly to not upset the others any more, not that he really cared. "I like your hair, is it natural? I mean of course it is, is it? Er... nevermind...doesn't matter, rough start. Sorry." Jack placed his hand on the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry sweet thang, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me. To uh... eat food? You're not old enough to drink right? Me neither. If you want to we can go get drunk at my place. Haha." Confidence, idiot, where's that confidence that Black Jack always has??

"Is that awkward?" He lowered his voice and deepened it, attempting to be funny, "My apologies, this one is kind of an idiot." Jerking his thumb toward his chest he continued, "but anyway, wanna go on a date some time, sweet thang? Free food, nothing to lose. Say yes, you won't regret it." Jack smiled at her, placing his hands in his pockets. "What do ya say?"

"OH OF COURSE. Where are my manners?? I'm Jack" He held out a hand for her to shake. "How do you do?"

To be or not to be (Heroes)

Jack could feel her looking at him for a moment then heard her sigh and walk away. "Ahaha, that was close..." He face palmed and shook his head, focusing his attention on the movie. One of the teenagers who was sitting in front of him, shushed him and turned back to the movie. Jack's eyes narrowed and he raised his hands like he was going to strangle the teen who was too young to be watching the movie anyways. The kid hadn't even noticed the fact that the man standing behind him was pale white with white hair and red eyes. No one else had seen some one like him before and they often stared, as they had when he was running down the street. As they were now as he was reaching out to strangle the son of a bitch. Several other fan boys had turned their attention to him, with which he pulled his hands back and placed them behind him.

"WHAT? Never seen a man in a black v-neck before?! Or is it the pants? Do I have something on my face??!" He reached up and touched his face. "Oh gods... AM I UGLY??" He half-shouted. Now almost all of them shushed him and were looking at him some with curious expressions others with angry expressions.

"Sorry, sorry. It's Saturday, don't you all have girlfriends and/or boyfriends to be hanging out with?"

"Don't you, weirdo? Oh that's right, you're probably to ugly to have a girlfriend."

"Or boyfriend." Jack added, unaffected by the kid's mean comment. "Just watch you're damn movie. Or I'll skewer the shit out of you with a pen. I mean... nothing." He sighed and shook his head, he never was one for conversation. As the others turned their heads and refocused on the movie, Jack turned away and went to where the register was. "Hey. anyone here?"

After the confrontation with the one he knew as Trick, Black Jack scuttled up a rooftop. From this spot he could see the chaos in the distance. The destroyed building, the frenzied citizens among the cops and EMTs, and then there was her, Trick. She was a pretty, young thing, he had never seen anything like her before, well except for Six. Six was a beauty too. But this girl, with her long, raven black hair and piercing amber eyes, she was something to behold. Too bad he had to kill her. "Ah well, shit happens." While watching the girl help the victims of his destruction, he knew he had to get to his safe house so he could patch himself up, he wasn't about to let himself bleed to death. No freaking way.

After stripping out of his leather jumpsuit and standing there in his boxers for a moment he grinned and threw on the clothes he had hidden on the rooftop in a rainbow dufflebag. So very unnoticeable. "I'm not gay... not that there is anything wrong with being gay.... I JUST LIKE RAINBOWS OKAY?" He shouted out over the sirens and such. "Ahh, good to get out of that sexy leather getup. Though it makes my glutes look fantastic." The young man could feel blood seeping through his shirt and groaned. "UGHHH." He groaned and clutched his dufflebag close to him as he jumped and rolled onto the ground. "Haha! I'm okay really, my head broke my fall." Jack said to no one as he lay on the ground for a moment, with his dufflebag on his chest.

Getting to his feet, Jack trudged home, leaving drops of blood behind him, somewhere along the line the wound stopped bleeding, but it wasn't going to heal itself, he had to take care of it before it began to gush blood again. He spoke in his deep, joking voice as he arrived at his safehouse, "this just in. Local criminal leaves blood trail straight to his home where authorities have apprehended him. FUUUUUUCK." His vision had already been blurry but now it was even worse, how he had found his way home in the dark with blurred vision was anyone's guess. "HONEY, I'M HOME." Jack burst through the door and tripped over a pile of dirty socks in front of the door. "ASSHOLE."

"Baaaaaa" From one of the bedroom of the small one story house came an average sized, ginger-looking goat who came over and chewed on Jack's hair.

"Yes, yes, I love you too Baaaaab." He lay there and closed his eyes for a moment. "just don't tear out my hair okay? It's already white, I don't need to have bald spots like an old guy." Jack shooed Bob away and stood up to walk into his room. The place was a mess. Clothes all over the floor, old pizza boxes and soda cans, plenty of thing for Bob to chew on and eat. Jack got to work cleaning and stitching his wounds, after which he passed out in his clothes, boots and all.

In the morning, Jack woke up only a bit achey. He was used to getting thrown around and things of that nature. However the getting stabbed part was unexpected and hurt like a bitch the next day. "UGHHH" Jack rolled out of bed and onto the floor on top of Bob who made a frightened sound and scurried away from underneath his roommate. "You could give me some more loving for not paying rent you know!" He stood and slowly, very slowly, got dressed in another outfit, this one just barely clean enough to wear. After that was finished he made some coffee in a dirty coffee pot and drank it on the floor. "Yawwwwwn, what is this? a Soap Opera? BORED!!" Then he remembered, there was a movie showing down at the bookstore that he wanted to go see, a movie he loved dearly, a movie that described his own life. Only his life was real, real torture, real pain, not that fake hollywood stuff. In any case, he had to go see it. "EY baby, gotta go!" He ran out the front door with coffee in hand.

Jack arrived at the book store when everyone was filing in. He dumped his empty coffee mug into the nearest trash can and entered after everyone else. They all sat down and he was left to stand after all the seats were filled up with fanboys. Shrugging he stood up behind them as the lights were dimmed and the movie turned on. As the introduction movie ads played he looked around the bookstore he had only been in a few times. That's when he saw her. The most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, /that day/. She would be his next conquest. Er no, that's was wrong. He loved women, he didn't see them as objects, he just liked to do it with them was all. "Crap." He looked away, almost blushing.
