The Repeated History of the Heroes

It was the gargoyle's fault

      As pink began to paint the sky Maggy started to worry.  They had parked the bus after Matt almost crashed it three times and started wondering.  It didn't take long for them to get to an alleyway, their favorite alleyway to regroup after stealing something.  It was quiet and no one was ever there, except for the voices they always heard.  It didn't bother Maggy, it was comforting to know that they weren't alone in the middle of the night.  

    Matt nudged her arm and pointed to a bronze glow in the distance, she nodded to him as they both fell back onto the wall.  She pulled the hood of her black sweatshirt on as the people drew close enough for her to hear voices over the natural sounds of a night in New York.  "You'd think we would at least find something for me to fight,"

    Matt stepped forward immediately, "What the fuck happened to you?"

   Zoe and Andy came into view quickly, walking hand and hand her sword giving off light.  "Really long story. . . you wanna steal something?"

   "Always, are you guys okay?"

    Andy shrugged, "Yeah. . .let's not talk about what happened back there,"

   "Oh?" Maggy left the wall,

   Zoe shook her head,"We didn't even have to fight anything just some face your fears bullshit," Maggy would have believed it was something that simple except for the look on Andy's face when she put it so casually.

     "Wait," Andy said, "What exactly are we taking?"

      "According to Issac it's an ancient water jar,"

      Matt clicked his tongue, "A water jar?"

      "I know it's stupid there is something in it.  No I don't know what's in it,"

      Andy shrugged, "I honestly expected weirder,"

      Zoe shook her head, "So,do you want to walk there or?"

      "I can drive," Matt said,

      Maggy put a hand on his shoulder, "No you cannot, I'll drive,"

     Zoe made a face, "What are you driving?"

     "We stole the bus,"

      "What bus?"

       "The one you guys dramatically ran into," Matt laughed, "It wasn't funny but it was very dramatic,"

       "You stole a bus?" Andy looked shocked, "That's illegal,"

       Maggy pursed her lips to keep from laughing, Matt did not have that much restraint, "Dude we are here to steal something,"

        "I- I know that, I just don't like breaking the law,"

         Zoe rolled her eyes, "When was the last time we followed the rules?"

         "I-um, we did kinda break into the gift shop last quest. . ."

          "Yes we did and are any of us in jail?  No we are not,"

          "I'm not worried about jail,"

          "Then what is it?"

           "Stealing's bad,"

            "It's a school bus."

            "Okay screw the schools then,"

           Matt grinned and clapped his shoulder, "Now you're in the right frame of mind,"
