Chapter 1 - An Empty Victory

The brotherhood walked into the house, Todd and Fred still talking about the victory, Lance looked ashen-faced but there was still an edge of steel in his eyes.

"Yo, cheer Lance, we beat the X-Greeks and that Duncan jock got beat up" said Todd

"Yeah, cheer up Lance, WE WON!" shouted Fred high-fiving Todd

"Whatever" snapped Lance as he walked up the stairs slumping his shoulders

"What's his problem" said Fred

"who cares, for now lets celebrate!" Shouted Todd jumping towards jumping toward the kitchen with Fred in close pursuit

"A victory feast I think" said Todd

"YEAH!" shouted Fred

Lance threw his helmet across his room and slammed shut the door behind him hearing Fred shouting most likely at the promise of a meal or several. Lance stood there for a few seconds unaware of anything then he flung down onto his bed, covering his face with his hands, not enough energy to take off his battle uniform. He drifted for a few minutes not finding sleep then his mind came back to focus and he wished it hadn't. He'd been played against Summers by that Duncan bastard and principal Kelly and he'd done exactly what both had wanted, it made him sick and boil with rage, how could he have been so fucking stupid. Then the picture of Kitty on his bedside table caught his eye, he started at it for a while not wanting anymore memories of tonight to come back he knew if they did a tear of two would trail. it was inevitable he knew and he felt a tear "your nothing but a hood" He bit back more tears and sat up staring out the window, gazing on the stars, feeling more alone than ever until sleep came and drove thoughts of what he'd lost that night, unfortunately it didn't.

Note - Expect to see this updated pretty soon, this may start off a little on the bland side but trust me it gets better. Please review
