To be a superhero!

[myblueskies]

Characters: Romeo and you!
Setting: Everywhere! 20th October and beyond! Specify place and time!
Format: Whatever you wish
Summary: Romeo died again and came back a little bit different. He now is a Superhero for real!
Warnings: If you are a kid you are safe, he will try and protect you. But if you are an adult chance of injury or death I have never had to write a warning like this for a Romeo post ever. Let me know what is okay in the subject line!

Romeo had thought he had had enough candy, but he couldn't actually count very high so he had been guessing... He wasn't too surprised when he died, and though it had been painful it hadn't been as scary as when Kidou had killed him. He was really scared that he would come back as a monster though. But it was alright, apart from the fact the antlers were now real he still looked like Romeo.

It didn't take him long to realise that he was now a real superhero though. He had super strength just like Molly! He could protect so many people like this! And he had to protect all the kids because Ken had died before Romeo had woken up after being killed by Kidou.

So he had to protect them all! Against all the adults because adults were bad and would try and hurt them! There were so many adults in the tower. Romeo would have to make sure none of them hurt any of the kids!

Armed with his superhero knife and his Weasel sidekick he set off to defeat evil and adults!

"A ghost?" Romeo frowned, "Did bad adults kill her sister? I bet they did!"

Mio considered the question before shaking her head. "They said that she did, but...that's a bit hard to believe, isn't it? That your family might just disappear the moment you looked away."

She avoided saying "die," because that made the situation seem too real.

[myblueskies]

"Was she a bad adult? If she was I bet she did kill them even if they were her sisters." Romeo frowned, because this woman seemed like a bad adult too...

[sixthsense]

Her breath hitched. Apparently Romeo had struck rather sensitive nerve.

"H-how could you say something like that? To kill someone you love so much after searching for them for so long..." She shook her head again, but she couldn't deny the possibility. She'd seen it happen so many times and, in truth, she couldn't know what would have happened if she'd met with her sister and that uncertainty tore her up inside. "That's just too cruel..."

[myblueskies]

Romeo felt bad for a moment, but he knew if she was an adult it was probably true. "Because she was an adult so she would hurt anyone." Just like this woman here.

"I bet you hurt kids too!"

[sixthsense]

"I-I wouldn't..." But it was a weak answer. She had. Her own sister, even, when they were just kids. She still wanted to, though the target had changed. "I couldn't."

[myblueskies]

"Yes you would, because you are a bad adult!" He turned to pick up a box and threw it at her.

[sixthsense]

She let out a small cry, more out of surprise and fear than anything. Her arms shot up in an instinctive attempt to protect herself, but of course, that was no longer necessary. It went right through her. The box did, however, slammed into a dubious stack of boxes and cause them to come crashing down. Mio slowly turned her head to the pile of boxes that probably should have killed her, laying both behind and "under" her. Though perhaps under wasn't quite the right word. It was more like she wasn't even there.

It takes her a few moments to recognize this and when she does, all she can do is offer a soft, hollow and fretful laugh. Her body was trembling, her eyes wide, unable to comprehend the impossible scene that was playing before her.

[myblueskies]

Romeo's eyes widened as he saw what had happened, pausing where he had started to pick up another box. "Why did it do that?"

[sixthsense]

"This place...stole everything from me." Mio began to take a few unsteady steps towards him, blood trailing behind her. She wasn't yet sure what she was planning to do or, if she was, she chose to pretend that she didn't. Tears began to form in her eyes, but that forced laugh was still working it's way in. It was just too ridiculous, too inhuman. She couldn't accept it. "Even my living body."

[myblueskies]

Romeo stepped back, not knowing how he could stop her from hurting people if things just went through her. "How did they steal your body? I can see you! You have a body!"

[sixthsense]

"They--" She swallowed. It was an effort to say it and a shiver ran down her spine as she continued, voice low. "killed me, so...it's like I'm not even here now. See...?" She reached her hand out to touch a box, allowing it go right through it.

[myblueskies]

Romeo shook his head, "No when you die you just come back! I've died loads of times! You don't be not there... they must have done something else because they are bad." So was she... He frowned and tried to work out a way to stop her...

[sixthsense]

"What...?" Mio blinked, uncomprehending. She had returned from death, though her form had been changed, but the idea of doing so repeatedly...how could that be possible? She began to tremble slightly. She shook her head now, trying to deny the idea. "Th-that's impossible. If you just come back, then why...?" Why kill people and, conversely, why not? Did it really matter?

[myblueskies]

"Because the bad people like making us cry." Romeo told her, because there wasn't any other reason to kill and hurt them.

[sixthsense]

Mio nodded slowly, apparently accepting his answer. "Mm, you're probably right, but in that case...nothing matters, right? So...it's okay, isn't it?" It was an incoherent line of justification, but a defense all the same. She began to approach him briskly. Nothing they did would matter. Nothing she did mattered anymore.

[myblueskies]

"It still means you are a bad adult." He told her with a frown, the compulsion taking hold of him once more. "I just need to think harder to stop you!"
