Until Death Do Us Part

"Shit- " Uma said, looking out the window anxiously gritting her teeth. "They found us. We're going to have to smoke them out." She said, glancing over at her partner. The sound of the door being broken down and heavy footsteps entering and rushing around below. Uma and Twilight hear what sounds like glass and various other objects being thrown about below.

Twilight nodded in agreement. He began releasing toxic chemicals from his gas mask. "Alright, you get to the roof and I'll meet you there." He replied intensely. The heavy footsteps get louder and closer and their whispering becomes audible.

Uma opens the door and turns back with a teasing but also worried smile on her face, "Don't you die on me now. " She says. The wind blows softly and the sunsets lighting casts a soft beam of light on her face, leaving the other half in shadow.

Twilight chuckles, "okay, now hurry. And don't get caught." He releases more and more toxic chemicals into the air, filling the room and the staircase below. Suddenly, Twilight hears the voices from below;

"What is that?" One says. There is a long pause and a tense moment of silence. Another yells "GAS!" He hears them quickly running and jumping down the stairs and back outside coughing and wheezing from the chemicals. He made sure not to use anything too potent, after all what kind of vigilante would he be if he just went around killing cops?

Twilight walks out of the door and walks onto a little balcony of sorts that leads to a ladder and begins climbing it. "ACH!" Twilight helps. He grasps his arm in pain almost letting go of the ladder. Uma rushes over. "What happened??" she asks concerned and slightly panicked.

"They shot me." He says huffing in pain trying to calm himself down enough to concentrate. Crap, Uma says to herself. She notices the shadows being cast at the other end of the alleyway, then activates her ability. From the darkness, she shoots the police officers in the arms and legs effectively disarming most of them. One by one they hit the streets, howling in pain. Blood flows from the streets into the drains. One of the injured police officers calls for backup. "Shit! We have to get going now!" Uma says intensely, aggressively pulling Twilight up to the rooftop. Backup arrives and they dash down the rooftop.

Uma notices her partner limping, knowing that this is probably where they get caught she asks, "Do you need help?"

"No, I'll be fine, my love." Twilight says, as he continues running  almost tripping over various rails and air conditioning units.

Uma is immediately stricken with guilt and she stops. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this. I knew I should've just left you after saving you that night." She says standing there looking down avoiding eye contact with clenched fists.

Twilight stands there shocked, his heart plummets, "how could you say that?" He says hurt. "I dragged myself into this. I fell in love with you after that night and I wouldn't have it any other way! If it wasn't for you, I would still be in that situation, so don't think that this is only your doing!" He says furrowing his eyebrows. He looks Uma in the eyes, with such intensity, it visibly surprises her, "I mean it." he says sternly.

Uma breaks eye contact and turns her head. Shadows dramatically cover her face, "okay, whatever you say." She says in monotone. There is a moment of silence, the wind whistles. "So, do you think we'll get out of this?" She asks seriously, breaking the uneasiness.

Her partner sighs, and a bittersweet expression appears on his face. He replies, "Sure, we'll figure it out." He smiles softly.

Uma scoffs and lightheartedly replies, "Alright, let's go pretty boy. " She says with a wide confident smile. She bolts down the rooftops jumping from one to the other, her tail helping her swing from various smaller platforms. Twilight follows closely behind her. He almost falls, but Uma saves him by grabbing him with her tail as they swing to the next rooftop.

In that moment time stopped. Twilight finally noticed how her eyes sparkled in the daylight. How the light danced across her facial features. She looked happy. She seemed to really be enjoying herself. In fact, she started being a vigilante for this very reason, to feel free and to help people, and in that moment he realised how truly beautiful she was.

Her hair flowed like a raging river uncontained and glistening like the water droplets crashing chaotically yet graciously into the rocks. It was truly a sight to behold and only for his eyes to see...

Uma looked down to see her partner staring up at her lovingly and smiled. For nothing was as precious to her in that moment than the look of freedom and unbridled passion and peacefulness on Twilight's face. His blonde hair flowing in the wind, as fluffy as the clouds and as pure as freshly fallen snow- what an amazing sight and only for her eyes to behold.

Uma suddenly stopped Twilight followed soon after. "Shit! A dead end!" Uma panics her heart raced and her breathing became erratic. The anxiety of the situation finally setting in. Is this where it ends? Is this where we finally get caught? After all these years? She thinks to herself.

Twilight notices her panic and calmly puts a hand on her shoulder. He smiles softly. "Don't you quit on me now." His eyes panicked and his skin pale but still wearing a deceivingly calm smile. He laughed nervously, his voice crackled and his hands shook. Unsure of what Uma might try to pull or what might happen next.

All of Uma's anxieties melted away. At that very second she knew what she had to do. She looked at him, calmly, and hatches a plan. "Never." She frowns as if to challenge him. "Do you think, Twilight, you can give me a smokescreen?" She says.

"Of course!" he replied breathlessly and began rapidly releasing smoke from his gas mask. Uma stood on the edge of the building, cops surrounding it as far as the eye can see. The wind blows silently, and dust particles fly solemnly through the air.

Twilight notices Uma standing on the edge, his heart drops, "woah! wait! what are you doing??" He said, grabbing her by the shoulder attempting to pull her back. But she resisted.

Uma looked him in the eyes, with a look of peace and true happiness and replies, giving the most deceitfully confident and happy smile, " 'Till death do us part. " she says. She smiles. She jumps.
