Chapter Text
When I woke up I felt sore. I looked around and I was underground. The question was where? That’s when what I think has been the last 24 hours. The balloon crashing into Mt.Swellview, Me pulling Ray’s cord to his parachute, the man cave collapsing, and the strange green bubble that surrounded me as I crashed. WAIT! I’m alive. The green bubble must have saved me.
The space was big enough for me to get on my knees. I looked up and started digging as I made my way out and saw the sun and felt it on my face. It felt great. Then the insane heat hit. From what it felt like it had to be mid summer.
Which would mean I was in this hole for at least a month in a half. How the HELL did I survive?! I climbed out of the hole and looked around. There were very little bits and pieces of scrap metal lying around. It looked like most of the crash site had been cleared even further proving I was in there for quite a while.
I started wandering when I caught a glimp of something bright. It was a gold statue of me and me or what most people know as kid danger and kid danger. Then I realized I was still wearing my kid danger clothes. I checked for my gumballs when I found them safe. I popped one in my mouth and blew a bubble, and I was back in my normal clothes. A plain flannel with a jacket under and jeans. I continued down the mountain till I reached the far end of town closest to the mountain. I saw the train station that led out of town and for some reason I was compelled to go to it.
When I got there I saw a board with my face under a missing poster. My parents really cared enough to do this. I looked at the number on the poster. There was only one number my sister’s. Of course my parents didn’t care. Piper was the last to find out I was a Kid Danger. Though why put these up if I was gone in the mountain clearly thought to be dead due the Rip Kid Danger posters. Maybe it was a last effort to hide my identity. That's when I thought about the others. About how they all feel thinking I was dead. Charlotte was probably deflecting her feelings, Jasper was probably being upfront about his feelings, then Ray I was hoping he was living his life and being the hero this town needs. The hero I couldn’t be.
I found a phone booth. Didn’t even know those still existed. I dialed Piper’s number and her voicemail came back “Heyyy it’s Piper I can’t come to the phone right now but I will call you back byeee loves.” And the voicemail ended. She and everyone else had probably moved on forgetting about me and that’s ok.
I looked up and saw that in 30 minutes there was a train leaving. I went up to the ticket station. And bought a ticket. Swellview doesn’t need Henry Hart. No one does.
