Asynchrony

Leaves blew by gently and landed in my hair. I pulled them out without looking away from my DS. This was great. A nice silent day with me and my villagers outside at sundown. I was sitting on a park bench with people walking their dogs and a few couples but not many people. Mostly just me.


"Nooo...He left" I sat and pouted for a moment then changed the song that was playing in my headset. "Diablo. Tell Diana I won't be coming back to my apartment tonight."
A voice came from my right headset. "What for, sir?"
"I have to work tonight."
"When will you return?"
"Around 3 tomorrow or so. Tonight will be a late shift."


Just before Diablo could comment with something sassy someone sat next to me.  We didn't talk. I didn't say anything to Diablo ether. Even if I just wanted someone to talk to that wasn't some stranger that stand next to me.
"Did you hear what the Titans did? They robbed yet another bank. Their leader, Asynchrony is one ruthless man."
Time to talk. I was hoping not to talk to him. "Dude, I know. He kills people without even feeling guilty. What kind of person does that?"
"I think he's smart." Someone sat on the other side of me. It was another male. This time my age. He had a head set on with purple and blue dyed hair. Glasses as well.
"He's a psycho!" The other man cried outraged.
"A psycho wouldn't have targeted the alarm system like Asynchrony did. He shut it all down before going to rob the bank."
"He put millions without money not to mention killing MANY others"


I watched the fight go back and forth. "When are they going to shut up?" Diablo asked. "No idea." I whispered. Soon enough the enraged man left leaving me with the purple and blue haired guy. We said nothing for a while. Then I spoke. "So, what are your views on Asynchrony?" He looked at me and grinned.
"He is psycho but smart." This guy was cheery and happy. A grin that seemed to belong on his face.
"I can see that."


By the time we stopped talking it was late at night. His name was Bullet. Who would name their kid that. He was cheery and hyper. Always seemed to laugh and smile. But he was smarter than he gave off. He took his leave and I stood up.
"Diablo."
"Yes sir?"
"It's time for work"
"I'll get your ride."
