Check out Kitty's side of the story too, @CuriousCat
I climb in the window. One of the dealers managed to escape but I caught him again eventually. I'm so tired. My head hurts so bad. What time is it? 4am?! Time for sleep! I flop onto my bed and fall asleep instantly.
I wake up two hours later with a raging headache. Two Neurofen'll sort that out. I roll over. The drawer of my desk is still open. I can see my phone, I'll call Kitty! I'll bring her to the movies to make up for last night. She wants to go see 'The Avengers' anyway.
Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring, ring ring.
Maybe she's not awake yet. I'll call late...
"Hello?" say a very groggy sounding voice.
"Sorry to call you so early. It's Jack," I say. "I wanted to know if you wanna come to the movies with me? As an apology for last night?"
"I'd love to! What time?!" she answers, suddenly wide awake.
"Eh, around 10? You'll have loads of time to get ready. See ya!"
That's done, now back to sleep for a few hours.
I'm at the bus stop near the cinema. I went for a casually fancy look today. Dark jeans and a shirt. Featuring my space-invaders tie. 9:45, Kitty better hurry up!
"Jack!" I hear.
"Hey Kitty," I reply.
I walk over to her. She looks great.
"I thought you might not make it!"
"Of course I made it," she exclaims. "I'd never miss a chance to go out with you!"
Did she really just say that? I look at her outfit closely. She looks really great. Sexy even! And lip gloss? Maybe this is more of a date than an apology.
"We're seeing 'The Avengers'," I say casually.
I know she wants to see it more than anything.
"OMG! Really?!" she screams. "You're the best! I've wanted to see that movie so bad!"
She hugs me. Okay... Well, when in Rome... I hug her back.
"C'mon, it'll start without us!"
Sitting down; watching 'The Avengers'; Kitty under my arm; her head on my shoulder. What more could I want? Whoa! Romantic scene. Maybe I should make a move, apologise properly.
"Hey Kitty?"
"Yeah?" she whispers.
I stare into her eyes.
-Oh please, make the move-
Geez, pretty forward about it. But her lips didn't move... I heard her thoughts! Whoa!!! This is so cool, think of all the... Oh shit, yeah, Kitty! I take hold of her waist, she's so slim. I lean in pulling her gently. My heart's racing. We kiss! Everything goes quiet, just Kitty and Me. I pull away. Wow! Jesus, wow...
"Jack..." Kitty whispers, a tear rolling down her cheek.
I place my finger on her lips.
"Shss, we'll talk later."
I look into her eyes.
-I crying with happiness! That was not real! Oh my God!-
We leave the cinema.
"Kitty... I-" I begin.
"Gimme your money!" a thug shouts holding a knife to Kitty's neck.
"Jack run!" she screams.
"I'll get help!" I cry back.
I sprint around the corner and pull off my clothes to reveal my suit. Black leather. I pull on my mask. I dash back and sent a mind blast right at the muggers groin. He squeals in pain and drops both Kitty and the knife. I knock him around a bit, then hold him up and punch him against the wall. Kitty's looking at me. I leap up on top of the cinema. I drop down the other side and pull on my clothes. I run back.
"I couldn't find a policeman but... Oh, seems like you handled it yourself!"
"Some guy saved me..." she whispers.
I bet he did! I wrap my arm around her.
"Come on, let's get a drink," I say.
She smiles at me. As she does so I look into her eyes. Her minds buzzing but I make out a few words.
-Jack's the... I know he's differe... I'll just have to fin...-
Shit. Guess my secrets out...
