Instantly, as black as his memories, his vision came back as bright as the sun, his sand colored hair and brown eyes reflected off the mirror aside from his bed. He stood and buttoned the 4th button on his silk shirt only, grabbed his silver 9mm and put on his black jeans and ran out. Jeremy P. Jam was his name, but that's not what the called him. No, back in the town of Verve, people are born with a name, but what they grow up to be becomes their legend. And with that, Jeremy is known as The Fixer, repairing everything from broken towns to broken dreams, his job a constant danger.
"It's a dirty job but you've gotta do it." Said Danielle Oasis, known as Supersonic. She flashed fixer her best smile as he walked away as he grabbed his gun, her mid-length auburn hair bouncing as she ran to catch up to him, the dark circles under his eyes emphasized. This new town he was protecting, Slowscorch, from invading idiots whom have been known as the Cannibals.
"Listen 'Nic, I don't have time to go after them right now. I gotta fix the town first, then fix the destroyers. I'll be back in an hour." He said slowly, his voice a whispered breeze.
"You can't fix it." She yelled, tears filling her eyes.
"WHY THE HELL NOT?" He yelled, gun drawn at the man running to them before 3 bullets went into his knife wielding self.
""Cause you can't fix yourself..." She began to cry as he walked away, anger in him as he left. He ran into the small village of the damned, the leader, Main Offender Jamison, laughed his final as he got a bullet between his eyes."
"WHAT!? Never seen a murder before?" He asked sarcastically, his voice dark as he began to shoot out the remainders, bullets spraying into the air as he got cut across his chest. Fixer looked at the grinning man, his face ugly from wear and tear as Fixer took his knife and stabbed him with it. He round-housed another and stabbed the running one with the snagged shirt in the leg and kicked him down, grabbing him by his hair.
"If you ever, EVER mess with that village, I will burn you to the ground." He said his eyes aglow with anger as he began to walk back.
Supersonic approached him, but he shoved her aside and walked on down the road. "I'm leaving, but if you need me, I will find you. If you want me I'll be watching, but if you cry for me...I'll be no where in sight." The Fixer explained, his voice soft as he said it and walked on, his anxiety fierce, his heart suddenly cold, and his eyes determined.
He would save this world; One small problem at a time.
