As Bram deactivated his ability, the vampires started turning back to normal. Atsushi looked around frantically, before finding him.
"Izaya!"
His relief was short lived when he saw the informant stumble. Despite his exhaustion, Atsushi transformed his legs and ran to Izaya's side.
Catching him before he could fall.
"Atsushi?"
Izaya looked up at him in suprise, various emotions flickering through his now normal brown eyes.
Before settling on relief.
"Here!" calls Kyouka, pushing over Izaya's wheelchair and Atsushi helped him settle into it. Izaya thanked her and did an experimental spin. "Ah, that's better."
He looked around, surprised to see his new surroundings. "Are we, in an airport?" Atsushi nodded "yeah, things... Changed pretty fast." He frowned "do you not remember anything?"
Izaya hummed, drumming his fingers on his leg in thought. "Bits and pieces, it's like I've woken up from a really werid dream."
He grimaced "...Unfortunately it hasn't rid the taste of blood out of my mouth."
Atsushi winced in sympathy. It was than Izaya noticed he was in a trench coat, one Fukuchi gave him.
Without warning Izaya threw it off, flinging it as far as he could. Izaya wanted no part of that man near him.
Not after what he'd seen.
He was suprised when Kyouka handed him his usual coat. "Sorry, I should've given you it sooner." Izaya sighed happily, putting it back on and feeling more himself.
"No it's not your fault, just... Really hate that thing." Explained Izaya, he hummed thoughtfully. "Maybe I'll just burn it."
Atsushi's eyes widened "erm, maybe we shouldn't." Kyouka shook her head "no no, maybe we should. Who knows, maybe it got infected by the ability."
Izaya grinned.
"Izaya I would appreciate no pyrotechnics for a while." Came Kunikida's voice. Izaya looked over to see him sitting up. Despite his words, there was an amused smile on his face.
Izaya sighed theatrically.
"Fiiine Kunikida, but only because you asked so kindly." Atsushi sighed in relief and Kyouka huffed. Izaya chuckled and Kunikida rolled his eyes fondly.
"Glad to see you back."
"Glad to be back." Agreed Izaya, frowning as he took in Kunikida's condition. "My heart was stopped momentarily, along with Junichiro's. But we're going to be alright." Explains Kunikida.
Izaya blinks in suprise "... Okay I missed a few things" Atsushi snorts despite the tense atmosphere. "You could say that again."
Izaya looked around, seeing the carnage around him. Before looking back at the trio.
"I didn't... Hurt any of you did I?" Asks Izaya, concern colouring his words. He didn't think he did but who's to say. Especially considering he couldn't remember it all.
What he did remember, was chilling.
Gently a hand rested on his shoulder before Atsushi pulled Izaya into a hug, with Kyouka joining him. "No, no you didn't." Izaya sighed with relief, hugging them both back.
"I'm more concerned about you if I'm honest." Says Atsushi truthfully as they all pulled away.
Izaya smiled sadly looking down. His hands were shaking, as they tended to when he was anxious. "I will be, just..." Izaya trails off, not even knowing where to begin.
Bodies. So many, that if you piled them ontop of each other they'd build mountains.
Gut wrenching screams, the cries of the starving, the dying and those who'd lost their minds.
Izaya wasn't a stranger to causing suffering... But that was something else.
It froze him in place, he hadn't been able to look away.
"It's okay" Says Kyouka "you don't have to tell us now." Izaya smiles at her, thankful. He was weary, tired and everything ached.
He should rest but Izaya couldn't. He needed to do something, he needed to be of use and distract himself from the images he'd seen.
Luckily, his friends knew him well. "We're all scattered about though I'm afraid Dazai is still in prison." Says Kunikida, not so subtly looking at an empty jet.
Izaya would usually tease him for letting him break the law so easily. But right now he just felt greatful, if anxious.
His little brother was waiting for him, Izaya needed to see him. And know he was okay."I figured, but don't worry I'll drag his ass back home in one piece."
They all laughed at that, knowing Izaya would do just that.
This is the only ask I’ve had in so if you’ve sent stuff in for the event, please private message me to let me know
1.if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?
I think I would have them read/watch Lord of the Rings. It’s something that speaks to me on a lot of levels due to the values it holds, such as camaraderie, loyalty, strength despite of fear, friendship and goodness. I think tells a lot about the values I hold and the kind of person I aspire to be. As for listen to, I’d advise ‘Sail away’ by Rasmus. I say this because I feel a few of the lyrics such “Fade away, the night is calling my name” because I’m always wanting to leave and go to a new play (Hence why I hate my hometown)
3. list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.
Attack on titan- probably Armin. I’m not that strong, be it physically or mentally so I do feel like I drag a lot of people down behind me and I’m always wondering if and when I can help them
One Piece- Hmm… I think Usopp for the same reasons as Armin. I too wouldn’t like to be in the centre of a fight but rather off to the side as serious back up.
Durarara (DRRR)- I guess I identify with Celty because I have Irish heritage but I don’t know about it, so if you link that not knowing with her lack of memories, then I really identify with her as I don’t know my Irish identity that well.
Fairy Tail- Levy. I’ve always been short and a bookworm, so she speaks to me on a lot of levels.
Supernatural- Dean because I always wonder if I’m a disappointment to my mother or the rest of my family.
Naruto- Umm… I guess Rock Lee because I’m usually the underdog :P
Lord of the Rings/Hobbit- Samwise because he’s the friend I aspire to be.
Marvel (films only, this also includes Xmen)- Steve because when I look at some of my music and clothes tastes, it’s a little 1940s. Plus I do swing :P
Fullmetal Alchemist (& Brotherhood)- Izumi Curtis because I’m all about tough love and am maternal to those around me.
Harry Potter- Cedric because he’s a hufflepuff and was so fair and didn’t want to win because of an advantage such as the Dementors attacking Harry.
Final Fantasy XV - Ignis because I mother people and help people organize things and offer advice when asked too :3
Gangsta.- Dr Theo. I too get grumpy when people do dumb shit I told them not to do XD
30. Pick one of your favorite quotes
‘Not all those who wander are lost’ by Tolkien. I think it’s from the hobbit? I’m getting it tattooed on me soon :3
