"No a company from Earth," Kye corrected. "Sorry I should have been more specific."

She shrugged. “I’m very angry at you for not being specific.” She rubbed her eyes and looked at it. The symbol was definitely weird, like nothing she’d ever seen before.

"I've had run ins with these people before. They are not nice," he sighed. "And it looks like they're helping the wrong people again."

“Of course they are,” Hunter said, rolling her eyes. “Just our luck, huh?”

"You know we have more in common then I first thought we did," Kye smiled slightly. "Let's see what else these jerkweeds have in store for us shall we?"

“Sure,” she said with a shrug. “And if they catch us, I’m going to tell them to kill you first.”

"Eh, well," Kye pulled himself out of the hole they had created. "They'll probably go for me first anyways, they don't know you and likely won't see you as a threat." He glanced back at her. "Their mistake."

Hunter snorted. “Well, if they try to touch either of us, I might just bring a cave down on their heads. By accident, of course. Totally accidental.”

"Completely. Just take out the central support beam, you'll bring down the mountain. Two miles away," Kye smiled as they continued. "Oh, why am I always dragged into the situations? Can't they get someone else? I need my evil doppelganger to come over here and like knock me out, tie me up, and just take over being me for a while. I wouldn't complain."

“Evil doppelgänger? You do have a story,” Hunter said, laughing slightly. “Maybe if we get out of this, you can tell me. Plus, I don’t want to take out the supports for the whole mountain. That would crush us as well. But see here,” she said, pointing to a spot in the wall, “if it add pressure here, this entire cave will collapse.”

"I mean I wouldn't exactly complain if you dropped it on us…" Kye looked back and grinned. "It would give me a break and it would give you a break. And as for the doppelganger, I don't know if I actually have one but you know, the possibility of parallel universes exists out there."

“Very true,” Hunter said. “And then I wouldn’t have to save this place again. Honestly, I wish the gods would just let this place burn.”

"I have said the same thing about my home planet, but then, if it did, the gods would just make a new one and likely force everyone to worship them. I don't know if I would be able to stay dead if I knew that," Kye sighed. He continued through the cavern. "My mother did always say I was to kind for my own good. That was just before she was ripped apart and I murdered hundreds of people. Stupid things like that."

Hunter gave a small wince when he talked about his mom, but other than that, didn’t seem to notice. “Yeah, well the only point of this place is to help heroes ‘be better versions of themselves’ and of course I was the one to help them. Because of my stupid parents. Sometimes I wish I could just blow up the entire planet and say that it was an accident.”

"Great, better version of me…" Kye stopped, and looked up like he was thinking. Or talking to some sort of god. "Nope, I can't think of a way for me to be better.you can't turn a demon into anything but a demon."

Hunter rolled her eye. “Well, they sent you for a reason, whatever that reason was.” She brushed her hair from her face. “And I don’t know why they think that I’d be a great help. I mean, my father is bloody… a power-hungry, backstabbing bastard.”

"Well my dad was the thing that raped my mother so…" Kye shrugged and continued. "I guess we both pretty mush have just straight up shitty family situations don't we?" He laughed a little. "Just a couple misfit kids running around thinking we can play hero. No one wants us, no one likes us, the friends that we thought we had just shoved us into holes and left us to die." He baled his fist and kept walking.

“There’s a difference, though,” Hunter said, her tone light. “You’ve had friends. You know how it feels. I’ve never gotten close to anyone. I do t want what happened to my parents to happen to me. My mom thought my dad loved her. He never did. He was just using her. And then I was born, and he decided to use me.”

"I didn't have friends. They just stuck around long enough to stab me in the back and literally throw me into a hole and leave me for dead," Kye didn't turn to look at her. "First introduction to caves. Thrown into a pit to die. Why did I decide to stay in a place that was suppose to be my tomb I don't think I'll ever know. Again, we're both a couple of misfit kids that don't belong anywhere."

Hunter laughed bitterly. “Got that right. Makes me wonder sometimes why I’m even still here if no one needs me.” She clenched her fists slightly, feeling her nails dig into her palms.

Kye stopped and turned to look back at her. "When we're done with this, I want to meet your dad."
Kid what on earth are you playing at? You do not want to meet her dad, he sounds like a maniac!
But if I can use my mastery of words I might be able to make her life a little better. Even if it makes mine worse.
You really are to good for your own good.
Yeah, shut up.

Hunter shook her head. “No, you don’t. At all. Ever. You’d be better off not meeting him. Everyone who does is better off not knowing him.” She shuddered slightly.

"Well then I should definitely meet him," Kye decided. Not giving Hunter the chance to argue he turned and walked into the next room.
You really have a death wish don't you?
Better than living in hell. With a bunch of crappy people who talk far to much, and don't understand anything.
Ouch.
Not you, and you know that.

“Absolutely not,” Hunter said firmly. “He will tear you apart with his bare hands and laugh while he does it.”

"Well that would be one less thing off my bucket list," Kye replied distractedly as he looked around the room. "And that would mean that I would no longer have to deal with the annoyance of living."
Yes but I don't want to die!
Good for you.
