Chapter 8: Minor Unrest

2135 words

Update was a word correction.

Alright listen up, I plan to add a hero next chapter BUT! I felt it to be appropriate to let the community add their own.

Taking suggestions, I will add a requested fella as a hero (no your not adding someone called Y/N) and their power can be your choice, I might expand upon it and I might keep it as is. If you want you can add a backstory I might include into text later, if not your comment will be the only thing revealing their past.

Jeffs POV:

Fluffy finally released me, after like 30 minutes of petting and catnip temptation. We finished our tea when I was suddenly getting a call.

Lucy: "Its fine dear, you can go take it."

I walk into the other room initially thinking a scam caller I can troll or a telemarketer.

Jeff: "Hello?"

Bob: "Heya Jeff."

Jeff: "Oh Bob, whats the occasion? Also how did you find my number?"

Bob: "The occasion is I wanted to know where you were, and don't worry about the second part."

Jeff: "You bribed Core didn't you?"

Bob: "Look man, a single cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream goes a real long way, but seriously where are you? You haven't been here all day."

Jeff: "I'm with Alex on a... 'mission'... and I think Slay forgot to mention it."

Bob: "Why'd ya say mission weird?"

Jeff: "Cus it's technically over, were just waiting at this point for a certain time to come, not sure about what happens after."

Bob: "Whats the mission?"

Jeff: "Oh did he not arri-...ve..."

I cut myself off, I see him... In the darkness of an alley across the street through the window. The comedy mask... Theatrical disaster...

Bob: "Oh! Its Alioness isn't i- hey wait why did you cut off?"

Jeff: "I...... I'll call you back.."

Bob: "Wha- wai-

I cut him off by ending the call and turning it on silent mode, I stare at him a bit longer. He peeks up at me, I can't see it but I can tell he has a wide a## smile on his face.

We sat staring at each other for a few more seconds before he lifts his hand with a small plastic bag in it. He shakes it a bit showing me it contains drugs before he backs off into the darkness...

He's calling for me...

I turn around immediately and walk back into the room, Alex is texting someone, probably Bob.

Jeff: "We need to go."

Alex: "Wha-

Jeff: "Now!"

Alex: "Wha- I- Wha- Ok then!"

I grab my bag whilst Alex left the door, but before I followed a sound caught my attention.

Lucy: "That look... You saw a crook... Not just any, a nemesis... Go get em."

...

Jeff: "Yes." I said before leaving.

The rain had mostly cleared with it being mere droplets now, the sky is still cloudy with a hint of blue in it. As we walk down the path Alex speaks up.
