Saving Hades

Why do people sometimes want to act a superhero? Is it because of pride? Ego? Or just to feel good? I contemplate everything as I feel pain on my head, wishing for it to subside. “Sunny!” a worried voice called my name. “Please wake up! Don’t fall asleep.” I tried to open my eyes but everything hurts. His warm hands held me like I’m a fragile glass. “Please don’t leave me.” He sobbed his tears slowly touched my face “I need you. Please…” he lovingly touched my face. I exert all my power to open my eyes and I saw his beautiful hazel eyes in front of me. “Sunny!” he called. I smiled at him or at least tried as he stared at me. “Don’t worry the medics are on their way. Don’t fall asleep. Stay with me.” I tried to open my mouth to tell him that I’m okay. Not to be worried about me that he should look after himself but failed. I just look at him in the eyes hoping that he can feel what I wanted for him to say. That it’s not his fault that I’m like this. That I chose to follow this path. I just stared at him lovingly assuring him that I’m fine. But exhaustion burst in my body and my eyes feels heavy. “No! Sunny you need to be awake. Don’t fall asleep please.” He pleaded his voice is slowly fading in my mind. I welcomed the darkness with all my heart.
