Bench trio- a dsmp vigilante au

Salvation

Quackity pov~

I left the common room in a slight panic, but with a definite strong sense of confusion. A villain? And from the sounds of things nearly all the other heroes already knew of their existance, meaning that they had probably been attacked by them. So why hadn't I? Had this villain spared me because of our past history together?

All of this was flowing through my brain as I just walked and walked and walked, barley processing the fact that I had left the hero agency building, but I knew I wasnt alone. Portal had followed me and was now keeping pace just behind me, but I just needed to think. 

I walked down an alley way and made a quick leap and flap to propell myself onto a low roof, well to propell myself to the point where I could grab the ledge and pull myself up, and with a silent puff of particles Portal appeared infrount of me.  I kept on doing this, going up roof by roof, just trying to get as high as possible, I wanted to get to my special place.

After about half an hour we were there, this would all be so much simpler and easier if I could just fly here. This time I didn't sit down, I just walked to the edge, not stepping on the ledge and merely looking out over the city. I took a deep breath before speeking, I knew Portal waas somewhere behind me, I didn't need to check,

"I'm assuming you want some sort of explanation." I stated, looking out over the falling sun. The hero meetings were always posed in the evening, and we sent out all of the underground heroes to patrol whilst we all talked. Portal stayed silent, but they moved to sit on the ledge on my right, so I followed suit, dangling my legs over the edge,

"I... was in a bad place a few years ago. Physically and mentally," I started, with Portals small head turn the only thing saying that they were listening, yet I didn't turn my head to look into their grey eyes as I kept on talking, "when I was 16, I started dating this guy called Schlatt, we were the same age and... we were happy. I was happy." I paused again, all the memories of the time spent with him flooding back, "the first two years were perfect, but when we both graduated at 18 and started going to law school, thats when things began to change." I let out a shaky sigh and rubbed my hands together for a minute,

"He... started to become more... agressive with his words, and he started drinking. A lot. Soon he was a raging alcoholic, and soon his harsh words evolved to become hits as well." I stopped again, desparately trying to hold back tears. Portal gently put their hand on my shoulder,

"He abused you, physically and mentally." They softly spoke, and I couldn't hold back the sob that came out of my throat. I put a hand over my mouth and nodded, 

"It stayed like that for nearly three years, he would do things with my body that I didn't want him to do, he left bruises every day, and flying... flying was my only salvation." My voice started to break as hot tears began pouring themselves down my skin,

"Every night, when he went to the bar, I'd allow myself one hour to go outside and fly to where ever I pleased. I was my hope that kept me going, the hope that one day, I'd be able to gather the courage to fly far away from him. until that night when I was 21. That's when it happened, that's when my ability to fly was taken away. Schaltt clipped my wings."

I paused and took a deep breath to collect myself before finishing, "Ender was the one who found me, after Schaltt left me in the garden after clipping my wings, they picked me up and took me away. They healed me to the point where the skin is healed, but as they don't have a healing enhancement they couldn't make me fly again. They stayed with me until all my injuries were healed, coming back to their hideout every single day. And when I had healed, they let me go, and as I had an offer of an internship with the heroes, I went straight to the hero agency building and took up the offer. Other stuff happened and here we are."

I gave a sad laugh and looked over at portal, my vision slightly blurred by tears, "maybe that's why ender had never attacked me. Regardless of whether they're a villain or not, I still owe them for saving my life."

Portal nodded and removed their hand from my shoulder before stances up and extending their arm towards me, "I have a place to show you." They spoke with a hint of uncertainty in their voice but I still grabbed hold of their wrist guard and we teleported away.

Wilbur pov~

I stood up from my hiding place and sat on the edge of the building just as Quackity and Portal had been.

I sat in silence as I thought over what I had just heard,

"We didn't know mate, its not your fault." Phil softly said, standing behind me and putting his hands on both my shoulders, using his wings to shield us from the wind.

I had asked Phil to fly me over to Quackity as I wanted to apologise or the slightly harsh words I had said before he and Portal left the hero agency building.

But I hadn't expected to hear any of that.

And now so much actually made sense.
