Everyone's a passenger tonight
----
Gerard had pulled me with him, hand tight in mine and smiling as he said with excitement.
"Come on!"
I was bewildered, stumbling as he pulled me along, my eyes wide and I said, finally catching my steps and running with him, my hair flying behind my.
"Where are we going, Gerard?!"
He just said in a sing-song voice, looking over his shoulder a bit at me.
"It's a surprise!"
I muttered to him, glaring slightly as the wind ran through his red hair, ironically looking like fire.
"Don't tell me you're taking me to some gay bar or something underground."
He paused and gave me a look, rolling his eyes.
"Ha ha, very funny."
I smirked at him and responded, tightening my hold on his hand so I wouldn't be left behind if I accidentally let go.
"I know, that's why you laughed."
He huffed and started to run again, not even waiting for me to prepare myself and I yelped when I was tugged along, stumbling once more. Gerard looked back, giving a quirky smirk and I stuck my tongue out at him. I widened my eyes when I noticed that this was the route to go to one of secret entrances of the sewers. Entrance 54. We neared Entrance 54 and I bit my lip. He got to the Entrance and looked around. When the coast was clear, he pushed on the cement door, the door sliding back a bit as he did and he slid it to the right, the door sliding and giving a loud clank when it hit a mechanism that would stop it from going into the wall all the way. Torches lit the way, showing a cobblestone tunnel, dripping with condensation and he closed the door, turning a knob that would lock it. Gerard then said to me, giving a stern look.
"You need to stay close to me. Some of us down here are...rowdy, so to speak."
I frowned and asked.
"Meaning they haven't seen a girl since literally the beginning of time?"
He chuckled a bit and replied, putting an hand on the low of my back almost protectively.
"Somewhat."
When we got to a doorway, the archway dripping with water, it opened into a huge room where shadows were dancing or singing at the top of their lungs. The middle was a platform with about nine little paths leading off to different corridors, a skylight below lighting the place as other lights helped to light the place up. The paths had wrought iron railings to prevent anyone from falling into the water and there were different padlocks on the railing, seeming like the padlocks on the fence in Paris. The smell of candles, food, and a bit of Febreeze filled my lungs instead of the stench of normal sewers. I looked beneath the paths and noticed it was just plain water, not actual sewage. It flowed underneath the constructed place and I wondered where it went. It was pleasant and I was stunned as I looked back to the party-goers.. I never saw Shadows so...happy and dancing and singing. There were three men hanging on ropes, singing and one looked at Gerard, eyes lighting up.
"Gee!"
He was tall and had brunette hair. It was blonde on the top and was slicked back. I noticed he had a close resemblance to Gerard and wondered if he was related to the red head. Gerard smiled at the man and said.
"Hey, Mikey."
'Mikey' looked over at me and tilted his head, asking with kind but curious eyes.
"Who's this?"
"Her names (Y/n). She's like us."
Mikey nodded and then tilted his head, saying.
"Well, nice to have you here."
A man with black hair to his shoulders came up to us, one of the men that was swinging from the ropes, and smiled at Gerard.
"Hey, it's about time you got back. I see you brought someone."
"(Y/n), this is Frank. Frank, this is the girl I was telling you about."
Frank gave a small smile and replied.
"So, you're the Mystery Girl. Well, I hope your time here is very fun."
I nodded a bit and Mikey held up a spider, saying in a taunting voice.
"Hey Frank."
Frank looked over and gave a girly scream when he saw the spider and I widened my eyes, covering my mouth as everyone laughed at him. I felt a laugh threaten to spill from my lips but I held myself back, feeling kind of sorry for the man. Mikey started to chase the screaming and running man, other Shadows laughing and a man with an afro just shook his head. Gerard informed when the man followed after.
"That was Ray."
I nodded and Gerard sighed a bit, a hand running down his face.
"Frank has arachnophobia and will freak out at any spider. Even if it's like...the size of a speck of dust."
I snorted and nodded in understand. Everyone had their fears. Gerard led me through the place, frowning when some men catcalled and I glared hotly at those who did, daring them to do something quietly. Gerard just kept his hand on my lower back and he led me to a corridor with doors, almost rushing me. He swallowed thickly and he went into one at the very end of the hall. Gerard spoke up.
"This is my room. The one across from this one is empty so..if you wanna stay here, it's open."
He had a slight redness in his cheeks and he rubbed the back of his neck. I nodded a bit, thinking about the offer. Frank ran down the corridor, yelling.
"Gerard! Tell him to stop! Oh my god, it's gonna eat me!"
"Frankie!"
Came the taunting voice of Mikey and Gerard sighed.
"Mikey, come on, stop torturing the poor man."
"Aw!"
Came the response whining response. I felt my mouth twitch up a bit and Gerard said.
"Hey, Mikey, is Ray with you?"
Mikey came down the corridor, Frankie hiding behind me and I crossed my arms, jutting out my hip a bit and Mikey paused, blinking and hiding his hand behind his back.
"I don't have the spider."
He said, obviously lying as he whistled, looking away and I rolled my eyes. Gerard said as Ray came down the hall.
"I got a plan."
"You are still set on rebelling, aren't you."
Frankie asked, still hiding behind me. Gerard nodded and smiled at him, gesturing to me.
"She's gonna help. To be honest, she was the confidence booster I needed to go through with it."
I rolled my eyes but still felt a bit prideful as he said that and he exclaimed his plan to everyone.
"We're gonna go into the heart of the city, and play our music as loud as we can. Jameson will have to hack all of the electronics in the city and our music can come through! That means that we can possibly get through to the other Shadows and we can...we can get them to realize, along with the People, that we are still people."
Frank, Mike, and Ray nodded a bit and Mikey asked.
"Are you sure it's gonna work, Gee?"
Gerard looked to me and he smiled, nodding. He replied, still looking to me.
"I've never been more sure. We've got luck on our side."
I rolled my eyes once more and we all walked out. Mikey started to yell, getting everyone's attention and the Shadows gathered around as Gerard stood up on the table, saying.
"I think it's time that we put our foot down!"
He looked around and helped me up on the table. I crossed my arms and he smiled at me before continuing.
"For years, we've been told that we were nothing. We've been told that we belong to the dark. We belong nowhere!"
Some Shadows murmured amongst themselves and Gerard jumped up and down a bit, saying.
"I say it's time we show them what we're made of! We are people too! We can do everything they can do! Why do they get everything and we get nothing just because we're different? I say that we rebel and prove that we are not just Shadows!"
Some people lifted up their hands, yelling in response and the whole place erupted in cheers and chants.
"We are more than they think we are! We are People too!"
I was astonished at the amount of emotion, the amount of noise, that was flooding through the place and Gerard looked at me, smiling a bit and he asked, getting a determined look on his face but his eyes were still soft.
"Are you sure that you want to help? You don't have to."
"Are you kidding me? You fucking walnut. As if I would miss out on giving the city a taste of their own medicine."
Gerard gave a genuine laugh, throwing his head back a bit and he teased.
"Can't you do any better at insulting?"
I glared and responded, grabbing a knife.
"I will shove this up your ass."
Gerard just chuckled and grabbed my hand, helping me off the table and I tripped, gasping. Gerard widened his eyes and his hands shot to my hips, helping to stabilize me and he asked me, a small smile on his face.
"Are you alright?"
I nodded and he nodded once. He grabbed my hand and said.
"Come on, we gotta go talk to that computer hacker."
I nodded and we walked into the next corridor to the first door. The door was colored chestnut and open and when inside, it was like a tech lab. Computers lined the room, Screens everywhere along with keyboards and wires. Lights and buttons lit up somewhat as music played. There were circuit boards lying around on the table, bolts and tools beside it as it connected to a mini robot dressed in a black marching band uniform. I widened my eyes, turning a bit and there in the middle of the room sat a man with headphones on. He was playing a video game and I observed him. He was 5'7", or what looked like it, and had brown hair. It was cut short, the front going into a mohawk and he had a goatee. Glasses were on the bridge of his nose as he played and he murmured.
"Locked and Loaded, come to papa!"
He shot the enemy on the screen and threw his hand sup in the air.
"Whoo hoo! That's what I thought!"
Gerard knocked and Jameson turned, giving a grin.
"Hey, Gerard! What can I do for-oh hello there, baby."
He smiled and Gerard kicked the arm of the rolly chair, making Jameson jolt.
"She's not here to fuck, she's here to help. Get that through your head right now."
Jameson sighed and asked.
"What do you need?"
I said, taking over and making Gerard blink a bit, his mouth hanging open a bit.
"We need you to hack into every electronic in Philadelphia. There are hundreds of security camera's lining the streets. We need you to break the connection from the Council and link every electronic device to the security cameras. Make sure that the connection is linked to the security in the heart of the city. We're gonna be there."
"You guys are rebelling, aren't you."
Jameson said, frowning a bit. Gerard and I nodded and Jameson cracked his fingers, giving a smirk.
"Your wish is my command, baby."
I rolled my eyes and turned. Gerard still had his mouth hanging open a bit, his eyes still widened slightly and I pushed his jaw up, teasing as he closed it obediently.
"Jaw up, pretty boy. We got a city to take over."

Killjoys in the style of the Black Parade anyone?
