Anything for you part 1 ~Chapter 25
I sift through Ed's suits before finding the one that I thought would be perfect to the occasion before turning my attention to Ed. He was still asleep in his bed, which is unusual for him. Always the perfectionist, Ed was usually a natural early riser.
I take in his appearance for a moment...the ruffled hair, the calm look on his face, and the glasses that lay on the bed stand besides him. It was easy to forget that he was now a criminal, just like me. Sighing softly I sit down on the bed and shake him.
"Eddie..."
"Hmm...what is it?" His words came out slurred and muffled as he buried his face into the pillow.
"It's time to get up. I prepared a coffee, black as per usual, and I already picked out a suit that I thought would suit you."
"Thanks Ana. What would I do without you?" Ed asks as he starts to sip his coffee.
"We already saw what happened. You ended up in a mental asylum. Now get ready, Mr. Chief of Staff."
Mini time skip:
I watch Ed from my position in the crowd. It's really stupid how easy it is to fool people. A simple disguise, really.
I'm sure Ed will be an excellent chief of staff. But now I have to get back to my own problems...consuming heat.
From the research about my condition that I have conducted, my body is encased in something similar to frost. When I use my powers, my body takes in the heat of the thing I just froze. Basically, I need to freeze stuff or I freeze...for good. I started off freezing small stuff...rats, mice. But it seems to be an ever growing problem recently. I get waves of sickness, but I don't think it's from my condition. .So far, freezing boiling water has done the trick. But, if I am correct, and I am freezing for two, I really need to increase my chill.
I sit down with my [now frozen] tea and switch on the news. Oh my god. Oswald must be devastated. I quickly finish my coffee before I make a beeline for his manor.
"Oswald are you and Ed ok?" I engulf the angry gay in a gentle hug.
"Hmm? Yes, of course. Don't worry about us, old friend. Worry about the gang that RUINED MY MOTHERS STATUE!" Ok, so Oswald is not pleased.
"We'll find who did this, I promise. Can I get you anything?"
"The only thing I desire is the heads of those awful men on a silver platter." I nod, though I couldn't even begin to imagine. I suppose the only thing I could compare this to is loosing Selina. But that hasn't happened.
"Alright, I'm going to check up on Ed if that's alright with you. Call me if you need anything. Do you happen to know where he is?"
"The GCPD." I paled at this and bid him goodbye.
