EWSG Aquaman Vol. 1, #7: Regret.

-------------------------------------

John’s House, San Francisco - 9:30.

-------------------------------------

 

 

I Woke up to John telling me that Tula was here, But he calls her Tuna

I Grabbed a shirt from the Guest Room that i was living in, grabbed my toothbrush, and cleaned myself up. While John was talking to Tula, Sorry, ‘Tuna’

“Nice place you got here, It’s almost like a museum.” She says as she chuckles.

“Yeah Uh, i love collecting, y’know. It’s almost like an obsession” He says, he then chuckles awkwardly.

“So uh, What brings you here?” He asks awkwardly

“I Wanted to thank Aquam- Arthur for saving me. And i also wanted to tell him something.” She Responds taking a sip out of her drink.

“Yeah uh, He’s a pretty busy guy, y’know, being a superhero And a King isn’t easy.” He Says.

“King?” She asks

“Y’know, Atlantis.” He Responds

“Ah, Yes.” She Says.

I quickly rush out the bathroom, spray some perfume on. God, Some of these perfumes smell like dead fish. I grab a piece of the chewy snack thing that refreshes your mouth, or as they call it, ‘Gum’. And run out to the living room like a madman.

They both look at me weirdly.

“Uh, Sorry about that..” I Say.

God this is awkward..

She immediately stands up and greets me.

“Hello, My name is Tula.” She says

“Uh, Yeah Yeah i remember you from the Restaurant.” i respond

“My Name is-” She quickly cuts me off.

“Arthur Orm Curry, King of Atlantis.” She Says

Me and John look at her surprised.

“I’m uh just gonna go get some drinks from the kitchen..” He says surprised.

--------------------

John’s Perspective

--------------------

I awkwardly walk to the kitchen. God that Tula lady is starting to freak me out..

Like how the hell did she even get my address?

I Grab two cups from the kitchen, and grab a bottle of apple juice. My personal favorite.

I then take my.. Burnt Bacon and Eggs of the stove before it burns the whole $1,000,000 home down. I pour myself a cup of coffee and milk and walk out of the kitchen.

“Got some uh, apple juice.” I Say. again, Awkwardly..

“Thank you.” She says politely

“Yeah, no prob.” I Say.

I stand there, reading a newspaper and sipping my coffee.

--------------------

Arthur’s Perspective

------------------

 

“Anyways, you were saying Tula?” I say as i pick up my cup of apple juice and take a sip.

“Yes. There’s no easy way to say this so i’ll just be straight forward. I am an Atlantean” She says.

I look at her in shock nearly spitting my apple juice out.

John, on the other hand, spit his coffee all over his newspaper, and the table, and..me.

“Uh, Sorry about that. I’m uh gonna get some paper towels.” He says embarrassed.

John Walks to the kitchen and grabs some paper towels to clean his mess up.

“Here ya go bud.” He says as he hands me some paper towels

“Thanks.” I say under my breath.

He nods and then walks over to his coffee mug and picks it up.

“How do we know you’re not lying?” i ask

She then smirks.

“I’m surprised you don’t remember me. I used to work for royalty, You.”

She says.

“Ah, Yes.. Why did you leave though?” I Ask

“Ocean Master.. Your brother, is terrorizing atlantis. He’s made it into a warzone. Innocent civilians have become his slave. Families have been separated. It’s horrible..” She says with sadness in her voice.

A tear rolls down my serious face. I turn away and wipe the tear from my face.

“I Told you to stay.. To protect them..” I Say with anger.

“I..I'm sorry.” She says nervously

“No..” i respond.

I Stand up and walk out of the room. I grab my trident and my suit and dash out of the door.

“Oh god… Sorry about him i'm ah, gonna go get him.” John says as he chases after me.

Tula Nods as a tear runs down her face.

“I Guess i’ll get going. Nice meeting you, John.” She Mutters as she walks out the door.

“Yeah, You too.” John says as he shuts the door.

John’s perspective

-------------

 

It’s been two hours since i’ve been looking for him. He’s probably swimming in the sea. He told me that’s what calms him down when he’s full of anger and rage.

But Damn, did he hurt the girls feeling or what.. Arthur can be really vicious.

“Where the hell did he go..” i say to myself.

I walk to the docks and see a man recording the water with his phone.

I Then see Arthur Flip out the water with Dolphins jumping with him.

It gets all my clothes wet.

“Holy Sh*t..” i mutter

I didn’t know arthur could communicate with sea animals..

“D...Did you see that?!” The man at the docks says to me in shock

“Yeah..Yeah i did.” i reply

“I am So uploading that to YouTube!” He says as he walks away on his phone.

I then see Arthur walk out of the water.

“How the Hell did you do that!?” I Say as he walks out.

He smirks.

“I Know a trick or two..” He Replies

-----------------

Arthur’s perspective

-----------------

 

“You OK? You looked really angry back there.” John Asks

“Yeah i’m fine. It’s just...Imagine if someone was ruling over San Francisco, Making all of it’s civilians it’s slaves, Tearing apart families. And you were forced to leave. How would you feel?” I Respond.

John was saddened as i said that.

“S..Sorry man.” He mutters.

I nod.

It was becoming dark as me and John walked through the streets of San Francisco.

It was already 9:30. Man, time goes fast..

Me and John were talking about Atlantis and everything.

John brought up those heroes a couple of times.

He was telling me stories about his family and when him and Hal were kids.

It made me sad, my brother, my own brother is trying to kill me.

What have i done..

I Know only one thing, i Need to stop him.
