Chapter 1 Not Leaving Without You
Cyan’s POV
I wiped away my tears as water poured down on top of me. Then…a certain someone held his hand out for me…with a smile on his face that I had missed so much.
I smiled at him as well. Then, I grabbed onto his hand, and he pulled me onto my feet.
“It’s been years since I’ve seen you, so why haven’t you gotten taller?”, he asked me, and I immediately started playfully hitting him.
“Missed you too”, I said as he laughed. I then stopped hitting him, and we both looked at each other for a moment, before looking down.
“Luo, I…”, I said.
“Cyan, I…”, Luo said.
“I’m sorry!”, we both blurted out at the same time as we looked back up at each other.
“Huh”, Luo said in confusion. “Why are you sorry?”
“Because I…”, I started, with tears starting to form in my eyes again. “…I left you behind. I’m so sorry, Luo!”
“Don’t be sorry, Cyan”, Luo said. “If you had stayed, who knows what the Dean would’ve done?”
“I meant what I said, you know?”, I said. “I haven’t stopped thinking about you all this time. I’ve been trying to come back for you ever since we were separated.”
“I haven’t stopped thinking about you either, Cyan”, Luo revealed. “I also heard your song on the radio. It made me really happy to hear that you had made it as a hero.”
“Really?”, I asked.
“Yeah”, Luo replied, before changing the subject. “You know, If you need a backup guitarist or something, I can totally fill in that role! What do you say?”
When I heard this, it made me smile.
“Sure!”, I replied happily. Then, I grabbed onto Luo’s hand. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
Luo and I walked into the orphanage’s courtyard. When we got there, we saw that police had shown up, as well as medics.
I looked around, and was relieved to see that everybody seemed to have turned back to normal.
“Looks like everyone is back to normal”, I pointed out. I then looked up, and saw the dean being treated by some medics.
He looked when when he realized he was being watched. We stared at each other for a moment. Then, he turned away from me with a disappointed look on his face.
I let out a sigh and looked down. But I then looked back up when I heard a familiar voice say my name.
“Cyan”, she said as she walked up to me.
“Queen”, I said happily, before rushing up to her.
“I’m glad to see that you’re alright, Cyan”, Queen said, before taking a look around. “And judging by the look of things, it seems like you were able to resolve the crisis?”
“Queen, thank you so much for telling me about that recording”, I said. “If you hadn’t, I’m not sure what would’ve happened.”
“I’m glad that I was able to help”, Queen said. Then, she looked at Luo. “You must be Luo? Cyan’s told me about you.”
“Really?”, Luo asked as he looked at me, and I felt my cheeks burn up from embarrassment.
“Queen, you didn’t have to tell him that!”, I said, before realizing that Luo didn’t know who Queen was. “Oh, by the way. Luo, this is Queen. She’s the second highest ranked hero, and we’re signed to the same hero agency.”
“Really? That’s so cool!”, Luo said, before looking at queen and holding out his hand to her. “It’s nice to meet you, Queen!”
“Nice to meet you too, Luo”, Queen greeted as she took his hand and shook it. Then, I realized something, and took out the drive with the recording on it.
“Queen, this is the recording of the plane crash”, I revealed. “And it reveals the truth behind how I got my powers.”
“Then what are we waiting for?”, Queen asked, before taking the drive from me. “Let’s get this back to Mickey. The sooner the world knows the truth about the origins of your powers, the better.”
“One more thing, Queen”, I started. “Can Luo come with us? I…don’t want him to stay here.”
“You don’t have to do that for me, Cyan”, Luo said.
“I’m not leaving here without you again, Luo!”, I stated. Then, I grabbed onto Luo’s hand again. “This time, we’re leaving this place together!”
“Cyan”, Luo said.
“Very well”, Queen said, before looking at Luo. “Don’t worry, Luo. I’ll arrange for a place for you to stay while we figure something out.”
