Chapter 16: Blair Waldorf

Chapter 16: Blair Waldorf


"Are you sure you are okay?" Joe asked me for the millionth time.

Obviously the police had come to investigate the crime scene, Joe and Barry as a detective and CSI respectively were present.

Barry was currently investigating the gadgets the perps used. It was surprising how quickly he healed from his massive crash before.

He also had Patty helping him.

"Alright then, since you have given your statement you are free to." Joe mentioned.

I had already informed Sally about this break in, and she said she would contact company insurance to take care of any hospital bills for our employees.

"Hey Barry." I said as I approached him when he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hi Lucas." He replied as he stood up and looked at me while coming out of his thoughts.

"Patty, this is Lucas, a friend. Lucas, this is Patty." He said as he introduced the both of us to each other.

"Hi Lucas."  Patty said as she shook my hand.


"Hi Patty, Barry says great things about you." I said while flashing a smile to Barry.


"He does? What does he say?" She asked, feeling a little shy.

Well shit I didn't think this far now did I.

"That when he's with you it feels like the world melts away."

Alright good save Lucas, time to go away.

I slowly excused myself from the pair who seemed to have a massive interest towards each other and left the shop.

To my surprise, I could see Blair waiting for me over there.

"Is there anything more you need or have to pass to me?" I asked as she approached me.

"No, I just wanted to thank you."

She currently seemed extremely nervous and fidgety, as she had one hand holding her handbag and another playing with her hair.

"Oh there is no need for that, I am sure anyone else would have done the same thing." 

I wasn't really used to compliments, since I usually hung out with a talking toy, egoistic robot and a cat that made me feel useless at every point in my life since he can solve even Einstein's riddles.

"As they should, it is their honor to save me." She said, as she flipped her hair slightly.


What?

"Anyways, I was wondering if I could buy you dinner as a thank you." She asked.

Dinner huh…well it was sound dinner time, but I went out recently and I seem to be having a bad streak with Meta's lately.

"How about another day? I already have plans." I told her with an apologetic smile.

She seemed shocked. I wasn't sure if it was because I said I had plans or because I didn't want to hang out with her.

"What are the plans?"

Well…I really did have plans. It was just that I don't think normal people would consider it as plans.


"I was going to watch 500 days of summer with my cat." I told her.

Blair paused for a second to see whether or not I was joking but when she saw that I wasn't she eventually frowned.

"Are you going to pass up going out with me for a cat?" 

"Yes…"

I could see her face visibly defleat and I started to feel bad.

She did go through a near death experience, so maybe I should cut her some slack.

"How about you join us? My cat is friendly, I am sure you will love him. We can order some food in if you would like."

"Sure." She instantly replied, against my expectations. She seems like an extremely pretentious person, and she wants to come over to a stranger's house?

"Do you need to tell your parents or something?" I questioned.


"My parents live in Starling city and my maid doesn't care about my curfew so I am fine. So, where is your car? How are you bringing me there?"

"Car? I mean we could take a taxi if you would like."

"Perfect."

"By the way, what is your name?" She asked.


"Lucas."

…

It wasn't an awkward car ride at least, Blair seemed genuinely interested in why I was content with living my life as an assistant manager for a coffee shop.

"Sometimes it isn't about the money. I mean you will understand when you see my cat." I told her with a proud nod while we were both walking up the stairs to my apartment.

"You keep talking about this cat, my expectations of him are extremely high." Blair scoffed as we walked up.

"You know I forgot to ask if you're a dog or cat person."

"I am a dog person, cats are too barbaric in my opinion." She replied.

Well people do have that impression, because even the most tame cat liked to start drama for no reason other than it was bored.

'Lucky for me my cat is the best cat in the world.' I thought as I opened the apartment door.


But for some reason my intuition was telling me to not open the door fully and to peek inside for a second.

And I did just that, I opened the door slightly and looked inside to see absolute chaos.

Food was all over the walls, and I swear I could see lava on the floor.


Buzz was shooting what seemed to be specialized Turbo guns at Steel who was just trying to survive his never ending onslaught.

Tom was running around the whole thing with a massive camera on his shoulders.


He was moving faster than the Flash ever has, as his after images were everywhere with him trying to get the perfect angle.


I immediately closed the door and turned to Blair who was looking at me with a confused expression

"I am sorry, I forgot to clean up so could you give me just a minute?"

"Sure that is fine." She replied in understanding.


I quickly walked into the apartment and grabbed Tom who was flying through the room while trying to avoid the Lava-like floor.

How the hell was the house not burning down?

Tom, seeing as he got caught red-handed, put the massive camera into his pocket and looked accusingly at Buzz and Steel.

"Lucas!" Steel cried, as his screen changed to one of tears.

"I was just doing some research when Tom decided it was smart to give Buzz a Turbo Gun and a mission to destroy me."

Steel merged with me and for the first time since he came into this world he went into hibernation due to exhaustion.

Tom shook his head, denying what Steel had said.

Buzz however, had different ideas as he turned the gun towards me and shouted, "MONSTER!"

I was having none of it, as I grabbed the gun and threw it into my room.


"Tom, I am going to bring a friend into the house in 1 second." I told the cat who seemed shocked, and then angry.

He moved his hand around in anger trying to express his emotions.


"What do you mean you wanted to eat human food today. Eat cat food, it is good for you."

"No, you are a cat, cat food is good for you."

"On that note how can you even eat Pizza?"

"You know what Tom, I don't want to heat it, clean everything in 5 seconds. If not, no food for a week."

Tom stopped arguing and shuddered at the thought of not having any food.

He then quickly started running around the house, scooping up the lava, repainting the walls, blowing on them to dry, and fixing everything that was broken.

I then grabbed Buzz and made eye contact with the scared toy.


"Buzz if you shoot a Turbo Gun at me again I promise I will break you limb from limb and put each part of you at a different side of the house so you can never be whole."



"You wouldn't dare."



"You're right, I wouldn't. But something tells me after today Steel would, and I will take his side."

"YOU SWORE NEUTRALITY."

"Welcome to the real world Toy, rules change." I said as I picked up a wooden box.


"Wait…Lucas there is no need for this box. I will behave, I promise. LUCAS? LUCAS!"


I then went to open the door and invite Blair into my house.

"This…is a very clean apartment." She said in a little surprise, as she looked down on the wooden flooring and could see her reflection from it.

"Wait…is that…TOM THE CAT?"
