Penny, was in shambles at the feet of her friend, Parker. A good friend since high school, and has always been there for her "Parker I'm so sorry about showing up on your door step late last night" she smiled awkwardly as she sipped her tea, Parker had given her. "Especially since I showed up partially drunk and in lingerie"
Parker chuckled at her "Oh its no big deal. I'm always here" he pour a cup of tea for him self, grabbing his new read of the week. "So tell me, love, what happened?"
Penny sighed, stirring the sugar in her cup, cringing at the barely remember able night with Billy. "Well, its a long story. You would not believe me if I told you... I don't even believe myself..." She blew the steam off her cup taking a drink, staring straight into the warm liquid.
"Whatever you say, heh" He chuckled flipping open the thick pages of his book, finding where had last left off. "All I'm guessing is, that its about a boy." He smirked as his eyes scanned the page non chelauntly
Penny almost choked on her tea. She coughed what actually little came out. "Eh, excuse me?" she asked softly blushing.
Parker looked up at, halve heartedly smirking. "I've known you since high school, Pen. In collage you got drunk cause you were obsessed about that one break up" he sipped his tea showing his small evidence. "And on top of that, your blushing, and hold your tea cup in an awkward manner."
Penny bit her lip, seeing as he was right about everything. It was true that in collage she went a little nuts over a break up, and did a bit of drinking. "Heh, I guess you could see it on my face..."
Parker reached out and sat his hand softly onto of Penny's. "Look, You can tell me who the guy is. I don't care if he is a douchebag or anything. I'm here for you" He smiled sweetly up at her.
Penny could hear herself breathe, as he set his hand on hers. She didn't want to talk about Billy, and his alter ego. If she did talk to Parker about it, he would think she was crazy, or still drunk. She twisted her lips, looking up into his eyes, the worry lines on her pale forehead creasing. "Can you keep a secret, Parker. And I mean really keep a secret, because I do NOT know all the details myself. To be honest I'm not even sure how true all this really is." Her face was 100% serious, as she gripped his hand softly.
Parker nodded, his face becoming serious as well. "I promise Penny, you can tell me anything"
She swallowed hard, putting both hands on Parkers. "Well the boy , I was with - not sure if I still am- His name is Billy. And he is sweet and kind, and so understanding. Well, I became engaged to him, even in the short time of knowing him. I don't know if that is a mistake or what, but I said yes. But I soon learned a horrible truth about him, and I'm not sure what is real and what is not, and I'm all turned upside down, and confused"
Parker's eyes opened with sympathy and understanding "Well... What did he say?"
Penny bit her lip. "Do you believe there is evil?"
He nodded.
She gripped his hands tigher, as her voice got lower, as if she was hiding something "Billy, is an evil... Villian..."
Parker let go of Penny's hands, giving her a funny look. He reached out and put his hand on her forehead.
Penny looked at his hand, softly frowning. "Um... What are you doing?"
"I'm making sure you don't have a fever" Parker replied, chuckling softly
"Parker, I'm being serious!" Penny exclaimed. "He really is a super villain, and he has a super villain name, and a lab, and works for this league. I'm being honest!" Penny was really frowning now, she wanted him to believe her.
"I hate to say it Penny, but that sounds like nonsense." Parker closed his book. "Listen to what your saying. An evil league? That sounds like something out of a comic book. I know you dated Captain Hammer, and he was a little... comic booky, but still, an evil league with a lab and everything. It sounds impossible."
"Nothings impossible... I know that now" she pushed away her cup of tea, looking out the window
Parker stared at her, his face totally composed. "So your absolutely sure about this?"
Penny looked at him and nodded, her face painted with seriousness
Parker nodded at her as well. "...okay... I believe you"
She smiled gleefully "Thank you, Parker" she leaned forward and kissed his forehead, as a 'thank you'.
"eh, what friends are for?" he smiled scratching the back of his head.
Penny looked up at a clock that was sitting on a small shelf in a corner. The clock read '12:45 pm' "Damn... I got to go shopping... I hope Billy is at home, so we can talk about this." She stood up from her seat "Oh and by the way thanks for letting me borrow some clothes, really appreciate it" she smiled sweetly at him.
"No biggie, anytime" He grinned a big grin
Later
The afternoon streets were quiet as usual and Penny had finally finished her grocery shopping at the market on the corner, near her apartment. Well, Billy's apartment, she forgot that she threw the ring at him, and she still doesn't know if their together. Penny was holding four heavy bags in each hand. She could hardly keep balanced as she carried them. Soon enough Penny hit face first into the concrete, spilling her groceries. "Damn" she cursed as she began cleaning up the spilt food
"Um, need some help?" a voice above Penny spoke. Penny looked up from the silver pumps in front of her to a slender female, dressed in black Capri's, a white tank-corset looking top, with a green shawl covering. The girls hair was black, and it was neatly tied back with a blue hairband. Her make up was carefully and heavily done.
Penny nodded "Yeah, thanks" she smiled softly as the girl helped her up. "Um, hi. I' Penny." she said as she began filling a grocery bag.
The girl gave a ruby red lipped smile. "I'm Reyna. Reyna Blade" She handed Penny a canned good.
"Nice to meet you, and thanks" Penny returned the smile, and looked down at Reyna's hands. Her nails were painted a seductive red, and they were razor sharp.
"Here let me help you carry those home" Reyna smiled grabbing four bags, holding two in each hand.
Penny smiled sweetly and nodded "wow, thank you. Its not often I see an act of random human kindness. I'm very blessed"
Reyna nodded "I'm always happy to help someone in need" Her lips curled into a grin
Soon enough both of them arrived to the front door of Billy's apartment, Penny gleefully smiled at Reyna "Um, would you like to stay for Dinner? I mean, I'm going to be discussing a few things with my fiancee-at least I think he is- but we will be serving Marsala Chicken, my mothers recipe"
"Yeah, that would be nice, it has been forever since I've had a home cooked meal." Reyna's eyes sparkled charmingly as she smiled.
Penny nodded opening the door for both of them, walking to the table close to a kitchen. They sat the groceries down, and began putting them away. "I'm going to make a quick phone call, can you finish putting the cereal away" Penny asked grabbing the corded phone. Reyna nodded and did as told. Penny dialed the number into the wall phone. Soon it began ringing. And ringing. And ringing. But no answer. Instead it went straight to voice mail. Penny sighed and went on listening to the message.
"Hey this is Billy! You know what to do. BEEP."
"Hey Billy, It's me Penny.. Um I see that you're not the home, when I got here, and I'm guessing you have your phone on silent, or you just don't wanna talk to me or something... Um I kinda wanna talk this whole thing over, It went way out of control last night, and my emotions were mixed with alcohol, and it was all so much to take an-... What I'm trying to say is... I miss you, and I want to see you... Bye" Penny bit her lip as she hung up the phone, staring at the cord that was attached to it, swinging back and forth.
"So" Reyna's voice interrupted Penny's trace. "Tell me about this fiancee of yours. I'd love to hear all about him" Reyna had a grin stretched on her face as she seated herself in a chair by the table.
Penny sighed, looking out the nearest window. "His name is Billy... To me he is the sweetest, most kindest, caring, passionate man I have ever met. To be honest I think he has been the best Man I ever met... But... I don't know if its cause I rushed into this whole engagement thing, but I learned that he wasn't everything what he seemed..." Penny faded frowning as she remembered what she learned about him.
"Lemme guess" Spoke out Reyna. "He cheated, and had an unsettling secret?"
Penny's eyes widened and nodded "Uh, Yeah, How'd you know?"
Reyna chuckled out "They're all like that, sweetheart. Cheaters, They're never happy with one woman."
Penny shivered, realizing that Reyna might be right "Billy... h-has to be different. He did cheat... Well at leas I think he did..."
"Its either he did or he didn't, there is no in between" rebutted Reyna.
"hm..." Penny sighed, staring at Reyna, not knowing what to believe.
Meanwhile
Billy found himself at a cafe close to his apartment, it was about 3:00, or at least that is what his watch read. Billy was still in last nights clothes, which made him do a bit of a walk of shame. He looked out into the streets thinking about Penny. "I wonder if Penny came home or not" He whispered to himself, biting his lip as his thoughts brought him to the worst. Billy reached into his pocket for his phone. Suddenly he gasped, not feeling his phone. So he reached into his other pocket, only to find it empty. Billy panicked intensely "Oh no... I must have left it at...Razorblades house...Now Penny will for sure think he is cheating if he says he left his phone at a girls house.
Suddenly his stomach churned, leaving an acid feeling in both his chest and his mouth "That's because I did cheat... God dammit..." He slouched into his chair, feeling himself weigh 300x than he usually did. "What the hell is this all worth, God?" Billy shouted softly to the sky. He got up from his seat shoving his hands into his pockets and began walking home.
Soon enough Billy arrived home, he saw that the lights were on and could smell the oven with food inside, he smiled brightly knowing who could be inside "Penny.. I knew You'd come back." He quickly opened the door, almost frolicking in.
"Hey Pen, You her-" Billy stopped mid sentence to see his nightmare sitting infront of him. "R-r-r-r...Raz..."
"Hello Sailor" Razorblade smiled, her legs crossed, sitting prim in a wood chair at the dining table, smiling as if she was a kid know she pulled the ultimate prank
"Billy? Is that you?" A voice came from the kitchen. Penny quickly rounded the corner, with a worried look on her face "Billy, I'm so glad you're here. We need to talk" She looked over at Reyna "Oh, by the way this Reyna Blade, I offered for her to stay for dinner with us. i met her coming back from the grocery store.
Billy clenched his teeth, smiling awkward, speaking stiffly "You don't say... That's wonderful" He tried his hardest not to scream in anger and terror.
"I hope I'm not a bother" Razerblade smiled kindly
"No, no not at all" Billy said, as an aneurysm began in his eye.
Razerblade smiled "Good... Then this should be fun"
