Next Gen Hero

Descendent

Noir POV

I soar through the air of Vale. Looking back I see the cops now beginning the chase. I laugh.

Noir: "Catch me if you can."

I shoot out two strands of web that attach to the ledge of a building. With a tug I fling myself over the building making the cops lose sigh of me. Now free I sneak into my window. Throwing down my hood I lower my face my mask as I hear a voice.

Y/N: "How was it?"

I turn seeing dad leaning on the door arms crossed. I smile.

Noir: "Exhilarating. Those robbers had no idea what hit them."

Y/N: "And damage?"

Noir: "Nope."

Y/N: "That's my girl."

He stands up.

Y/N: "Your mom made dinner. Hurry before it gets cold."

Noir: "Be right there."

He walks away as I discard my costume. Now dressed I hang my costume in my closet. I took one last look at it.

*there's also a hood*

Noir: "Try not to go anywhere."

I head downstairs where I see my parents already eating.

Blake: "Have fun?"

Noir: "Yep."

I sit down at the table digging in.

Noir: "Hey mom."

Blake: "Yes sweetie?"

Noir: "What was life like for you and dad, before you had me?"

They share a gaze, did I say something wrong? Dad then stares at me.

Y/N: "Why you wanna know?"

Noir: "Well, it's just that for as long as I can remember you guys never talked about your past. So I was just curious."

Blake: "Life wasn't too interesting. We went to school, graduated, got married and had you."

Noir: "Did either of you hear about the old hero?"

Y/N: "We heard about him. Why?"

Noir: "It's just that it's everyone spoke so highly of him. But one day he just up and left. And no one knows where."

Blake: "He was a good man. But some never liked him. They called him a criminal. I guess he just tired of it and left."

Noir: "You guys ever think he'll come back?"

Y/N: "Who knows kid."

I look at my food poking at it. I decide to change subject.

Noir: "Hey dad. Think tonight we can go to our special spot?"

Y/N: "That's up to your mom."

I look at her. She smiles.

Blake: "Go ahead."

I smile.

Noir: "Thanks mom!"

Y/N POV

Noir finishes her meal and heads to go get ready. The second she leaves I sigh. Blake puts her hand on my back.

Blake: "She deserves to know."

Y/N: "I want to tell, believe me. But I don't know if I should. You saw what happened when people found out. We went into hiding. I fear she'll be hunted like I was."

Blake: "It's okay Y/N. It's been over a decade and a half. People hardly even talk about it anymore. Plus from what Ruby says the cops seem to tolerate her. Times have changed Y/N. I'm confident things will be different."

She leans down kissing my cheek.

Blake: "At least think about it, okay?"

I smile kissing her cheek.

Y/N: "I will."

After a couple of minutes Noir and I head to our special spot. We leap off a building and land on a roof. We take a seat on the ledge taking in the gorgeous sight.

Noir POV

Y/N: "Sure is beautiful isn't it?"

Noir: "Yep. But time sures does fly."

Y/n: "Yep. Seems like only yesterday I brought you up here. Remember that day?"

Noir: "Sure do."

I think back on that day.
