I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
Fang sat on the green chair. hands clasped, eyes never leaving the floor. He swallowed at the sound of the door opening, fully expecting Black Canary to be in front of him. “There wasn’t any te could have done, Fang.” Only, it wasn’t the voice of Canary, but someone much younger. The half-avian looked up briefly, watching the white volpe tail swish back and forth. “Shouldn’t te be elsewhere, Scotty?” Fang’s voice was hoarse, his fingers digging into his hands, shifting his feet. "No.. Canary and Bats thought I could più out of te then they could.." He mumbled, sitting on the arm of the divano instead of across the room. "Fang-" Scotty was cut off as Fang held up a hand. The volpe smiled and reached down, gently patting the raven locks.
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
"I watched them all die, Scotty.. My child's husband, my brother's wife, my own brother.. I should have done something.." He whispered, his muddy eyes locking onto a spot on the floor. "Fang, te were so heavily sedated te barely had a heartbeat.. We only found te because of the tracker that's in your arm.." Scotty dropped his hand, looking up at the cave wall. "You did everything in your power, no one is going to blame te for anything." Fang didn't move, his lips pressed into a line before replying. "You don't kn-"
"But I do, Fang. I killed my only sister, the only person in my family who ever understood me. te watched them die, your mind was in working condition but your body was not. I'll be damned if I sit and watch te beat yourself up over something te couldn't control. There's a difference between what I did and what te did. Time will heal everything, Fang, but only if te let it." Scotty looked over, meeting Fang's gaze.
Keep me sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
"And you're not going back to that house, not for a few months. Let yourself heal before te subjugate yourself back to that.. I know te two worked hard to create a house that te and the kids could grow up in.." He stopped in mid-sentence, rubbing his head again. "I think te know what do to." Scotty shifted, straddling the arm of the chair rather than sitting on it.
Yeah
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Fang let out a choked sob after Scotty's last sentence, tears dripping off his face and onto his hands before they hit the floor. Scotty took notion of this and frowned, resting his hand on the back of his head. "I think this the only time I've seen te cry. Please don't make a habit of it, it's quite unsettling." He joked, earning a soft chuckle from hybrid, despite his tears. "What do I do, Scotty?" Fang asked and looked up, for once completely Lost with no direction on what to do. He wiped his face, only for it to be filled with tears soon after. "You pick up the piece and te sposta on. That's all te can do. Be there for those who have Lost someone, but don't forget about yourself either. Let it out every now and then." He ran his fingers through his white hair, tail hanging off the arm of the chair. "Go to her, Fang. You're not together, but I know she still cares for you, she has to."
Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
That came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll mostra myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
The two sat in silence for a few minuti before the door opened again. Fang looked up, looking at the toddler in front of him. "Daddy, don't cry.." Jaime whispered, pushing the black fringe away from his father's face. Fang gave the toddler a half smile. "I'm sorry..:" He whispered and pulled the child up into his lap, hugging him tightly, unable to stop the tears. "You took the watch.." Scotty mumbled, hand snaking through Jaime's dark hair.
"It was the only way to keep him from hurting.. He Lost as much as I did.." Fang whispered and stroked his hair, watching the toddler. "He'll remember them, but it won't be nearly as painful.." Scotty nodded and looked up at the ceiling. "He's almost a spitting image of te Fang. " The volpe chuckled, looking at Jaime. 'It's unbelievable.."
Keep me sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
"Daddy, I'm tired.. Can we go home..?" Jaime asked and looked up, tearing up when Fang shook his head. "W-why not?' He whimpered out, bottom lip quivering. Fang bit back a few tears, brushing Jaime's hair from his face. "We have to stay here for a little bit, okay?" The toddler immediately shook his head and began to cry into Fang's chest, holding onto him tight. Fang teared up and hugged Jaime close, crying into the toddler's hair. He held him tightly and began to rock, slowly leaning back, brushing Jaime's hair back. Fang looked up to Scotty and the volpe nodded, standing up. "I'll put him to bed.." Fang mumbled, heading towards the door. "Fang. Get some rest yourself and remember what I told you. Don't dwell on the things te can't change o fix." The raven haired male nodded once and walked out, carrying the toddler close to his chest.
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
Tower over me
Tower over me
And I'll take the truth at any cost
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole
I'm not going to lie, I actually cried while Scrivere this..
And I've been waiting for the sun
