The Sparrow

Genisis Part Two

Christopher opened his heavy eyes and blinked three times to get used to the light. He noticed his wife wasn't next to him and jumped into action, imminently getting clothes on and running downstairs and came to a hault when he saw the look on his darkskin wife's face.

"Christopher is everything ok? You look so worried"
Said Amelia

"No i just- Don't worry about it. What are you cooking?" Christopher said

"Just some toast and pancakes for Y/N, it's going to be his first day of proper school today" Amelia replied

"Oh been there done that. Very Nerve-racking. That explains the pancakes you only make them when something is about to happen" Christopher said

"I'm just nervous for my kid Chris. I didn't make the best impression in school and I want the best for him" Amelia Expressed.

"He'll be fine I promise and when he comes back he'll have plenty of stories to tell us." Christopher said comforting his wife

You walked down the stairs shaking as you were going to your first year 1 class. Proper school was starting for you

"Hey look who it is! My brave son" Said Christopher

"Guess what, I made pancakes!" Said Amelia

You had not a shred of happiness on your face and your parents began to notice that

"Nervous?" Amelia said

You nodded

"Hey Y/N sometimes we have to go places that we don't want to go to and do things we don't want to do and sometimes we even make mistakes. But it's how you come back from the mistakes or handle going into those places that determine who you're going to be. Who are you going to be Y/N?"

Those words passed your mind like a never ending
Echo. You sat there in the hospital bed after reading that newspaper headline and anger flooded your mind like a raging tsunami and you imminently knew who was responsible. But you couldn't leave the hospital right now as your mother was there sleeping with her face covered in dried tears. You tapped her.

"Christopher?" She said barely having her eyes open

"No, it's me Y/N"

Your mother gave you a light slap across the face

"How could you sneak out! Do you know how worried I was!?" Said your mother

"Mum I-"

but before you could Finnish your sentence she gave you the warmest hug you'd ever received

"I'm just glad you're ok." Your mother said

You enjoyed the warm embrace for a bit and then she pulled away from you.

"When we get home I'm taking that phone away from you" She said

"Fair." You said

About a week later you walked out of that hospital with your mother and she drove you home. She dropped the keys on the counter in your house you sat on the couch watching TV.

"Y/N could you turn that down for a minute I need to talk to you" Your mother said

"Sure"  he grabbed the remote and turned the volume of the TV all the way down to 0

"It's about your father. He's-"

"Dead. I know I saw the newspaper. Who did it?" You interrupted

"They don't know yet. They don't even know if he suffered they know nothing" your mother said

"Don't worry mum. Someone will find who did it" You said as you gave her a warm hug.

Your mother fell asleep on the couch so you layed a blanket over her. You went into your bedroom and sat there with your polluted mind and intoxicating thoughts. You wanted Vengeance. You quickly went into your dad's room and grabbed a ski mask and covered the mouth hole with breathable fabric and sewed it in. You found your dad's old bullet and stab proof vest and put it on, you wore your zip hoodie on top of it to cover it, pulled up your black sweatpants, wore your black gloves and black trainers. You became vengeance in that moment. You snuck out of your house and went into a flat. You ran up the stairs and into a rooftop you jumped from fire escape to fire escape.

A about your age walked past a bunch of road men

"Aye peng ting you're looking kinda fine una."

She attempted to pick up the pace and walked into an alleyway to avoid them but they blocked both entrances to the alley. She was blocked. She opened her purse and grabbed her taser ring from wish and tried to use it on one of the guys. It didn't work and the roadmen all bursted out laughing. One of them raised his hand about to hit the young woman until you jumped in front of her in your hero getup.

"Leave the girl alone guys and I promise I won't hurt you."

They looked at him and imminently attacked him he managed to get one of them on the ground and he knocked him out. 3 left. You used the walls to your and advantage and chokeslamed one of them and knocked him out with a finishing blow. 2 left. Both of the roadmen left ran at you from the front and behind so he wall jumped and they bumped into each-other. You gave a finishing wall jump-kick to one of the roadmen bumping into each other knocking them out. You fell to the floor as you didn't know how to land that kick which was embarrassing.

"Who are you? And why did you just save me?" The woman said.

He had no answer as he ran into the darkness and to a rooftop using the fire escapes. He quietly snuck back into his house not making a sound.

"Holy shit. I just stopped my first crime." You said as you quickly took your costume off

"I mean there's a few kinks that need to be flattened like I need a way to travel quickly because rooftop jumping is exhausting. I also need some sort of grappling hook. But apart from that today I did good."

You paused for a second

"And now I'm taking to myself."
