chapter 14 narrowing search
Looking for either slenderman or Zalgo along with problems in their own timeline.
Most of the team was on high alert because of these threats that don't seem to relent.
But some take it with a grain of salt. Hunter doesn't let it destroy his day to day life.
He decided to get some ice cream.
Clockwork watches him as he approaches the ice cream parlor. He gets two cones, one chocolate and one vanilla. He walks out.
Clockwork in head: I never knew anyone actually got two ice cream cones, especially soft serve.
Clockwork lost sight of him for a minute.
Clockwork: Where the hell?
Hunter: *clears throat*
Clockwork snapped her gaze behind her and saw Hunter standing there, cones in hand.
Hunter: I wasn't sure if you wanted chocolate, so I just got Vanilla.
Clockwork: *confused* Thanks.
Hunter hands her the vanilla cone and she takes it.
Clockwork: How long have you known?
Hunter: I know when I have become the hunted.
Clockwork: Then why aren't you trying to kill me?
Hunter: Because, you aren't trying to kill me.
Clockwork: Fair. But I'm still stalking you.
Hunter: True. But I'm not in the mood for a fight. It's a nice day and I'd rather eat ice cream. You are welcome to join me. Or you can continue watching me, you won't figure out anything you didn't already know.
Clockwork: I'll play along with the little game you have going on here.
Hunter and Clockwork sat at a bench and ate their ice cream.
Clockwork: I know you have an angle here.
Hunter: Not really. As I said, it's a nice day. I want to enjoy it.
There was an akward silence.
Clockwork: Why do you do what you do?
Hunter: You mean hunt killers like you?
Clockwork: Yeah.
Hunter: I'm not sure you want to pick that scab open.
Clockwork: You know why we do what we do, right?
Hunter: Because you all have issues. Trust me, I know about every single one of you.
Clockwork: Then it is only fair that I know the same about you?
Hunter: *chuckle* Fine. Tell me. Have you ever had a significant other? Someone that you believed would be your spouse one day?
Clockwork: I can't say that I have.
Hunter: I did. In fact, that same point in time is how I ended up with my metal arm.
Clockwork: So you hunt anyone similar to the killer?
Hunter: Something like that. I wouldn't put it in those terms exactly.
Clockwork: Then why not just kill me?
Hunter: You didn't ask to be here. You aren't supposed to be my problem. Plus after knowing so much about you all, I sort of feel bad for you.
Clockwork: I don't need pity.
Hunter: *sarcastic* You don't need a bullet in the skull either. *normally* Besides, I got bigger fish to fry.
Clockwork: Asshole.
Hunter: Everyone has one.
Clockwork: You are right though, we didn't ask to come here. I don't even know how it happened. Just,poof.
Hunter: It doesn't really matter now. All that matters is how to get you back home.
Clockwork: You'd help with that?
Hunter: Sure. Nothing worse than not having a home. And to be honest, I'd rather not have to hunt and kill all of you as well.
Clockwork: I see the logic there.
Hunter: Whelp. I should get going. Have fun doing whatever you are going to do next.
Clockwork watched Hunter get up and walk away. She knew that Hunter wouldn't lead her anywhere, now that he knew she was stalking him.
However, Y/n and Jasa were having a more uneventful time.
Y/n and Jasa were cuddling on the couch.
Jasa laid her head on Y/n's chest. Y/n played with her hair.
Jasa looked up at Y/n.
Y/n: You have beautiful eyes.
Jasa smiled and kissed his chin.
She nuzzled into his chest.
Y/n smiled and played with her hair.
There was only one problem with the way things were going. They were going to have to solve the universe merge issue before summer ends. Or else they would have one more thing to juggle.
