A Shadow of a Rose

Chapter Twenty Five- A Falling Star

(Shadows POV)

I thought long and hard about the mission the commander gave me as I leave the room.

What was he talking about?

Who's her?

"Shadow!" Rouge yells from down the hallway as I shut the door behind me.

"SHADOW IS ALIVE" Omega states.

"Of course I am. What are you all talking about..?" I ask.

"We were scared you were gunna get punished." Rouge replies.

"Oh"

"We're glad your alright though!" She smiles.

"AFFIRMATIVE" Omega replies as well.

I feel a tiny smile slip out of my lips.

"I'm going to go make some repairs on my Motorcycle, Goodnight you two" I say as I walk to the warehouse.

The two of them look at me as I leave.

-Some time later-

"Alright looks good-"

A screw in the wheel falls out.

"Besides that.." I sigh.

I get under the motorcycle and begin to look for where the screw came from.

"Ah here! Just need my- where's my screwdriver?" As I look around I spot it. "Damnit I cant reach it-"

I see a hand pick up the screwdriver and hand it to me.

"Need this?" Rouge asks.

"Heh..thanks" I reply.

Rouge sits next to me as I get out from under the motorcycle.

"Something on your mind Rouge?" I ask.

She looks over.

"Why would you care 'Mr. Imtooedgytocare'.."? She scoffs.

"I take that as an offense"

"Then take it as one. You know i'm right" She scowls.

We sit quietly next to each other for a couple seconds before I break the cycle.

"Mind..telling me?" I ask.

".. Mm.."

"You honestly don't have to . Like you said 'imtooedgytocare' " I smirk.

She glares at me before opening up.

"I don't know, I'm just worried about this whole mission the Commander gave us.."

"A mission from the commander?" I ask.

"Yeah. It's kinda.. upsetting.." she starts. "And I don't feel like we're doing the right thing.."

"Why whats the mission..?"

Rouge gives me an upsetting look.
