12. Want You To Hurt

Hunter was so deep into his latest Spider-Man trade paperback that he didn't pay any attention to the guy who sat next to him in the Howard Brown waiting room. "Fancy meeting you here," came a snide, effeminate voice. Hunter looked up and it took everything in him not to punch Daryl in the face.

Hunter was so deep into his latest Spider-Man trade paperback that he didn't pay any attention to the guy who sat next to him in the Howard Brown waiting room.

"Fancy meeting you here," came a snide, effeminate voice. Hunter looked up and it took everything in him not to punch Daryl in the face.

"Leave me alone," said Hunter. "I don't want a scene."

"Well then don't make one."

"You're really fucking lucky I'm about to go in. Otherwise, I'd take you outside and knock you the fuck out." The aide sitting at reception looked up suspiciously, causing Hunter to look sheepishly down at his book.

"Better watch that temper, boy," Daryl said, his voice barely a whisper.

"Look," Hunter whispered back. "I don't know what the fuck you want from me... "

"I'd think it was pretty obvious what I want from you."

"I'm not coming back, Daryl."

"Of course, not. I gave up that a long time ago."

"Then why do you keep trying to fuck up my life?"

"Because I want you to hurt like I hurt."

"Look, keep coming at me all you want. I don't care cuz I'll always beat you at your own game. But leave Charlie and Tyler out of it."

"Hunter Storm?" called the aide at the desk.

"You're nuts," said Hunter, getting up. "You know that? Move on with your life."

"How can I when you fucked it up?"

"You fucked it up yourself. If you weren't driving while your chasing the fucking dragon, I wouldn't have needed to give you that transfusion. End of story. I saved your life and you're wasting it. Don't blame me, blame yourself." And he was gone.

But Daryl knew all he needed for his next move. He'd ordered the mark against the little twink noob Tyler over the summer. Seeing Hunter get so riled up it was obvious: the next target would be preppy Asian guy Charlie.
