MARC & STEVENS POV

⚠️WARNING: cursing

Song: Daylight by David Kushner

Night had soon fallen and there hadn't been any signs of Reaper anywhere. I've looked in every spot possible and he was no where to be seen. I was crouched on top of a random building with my suit on. It seemed helpless to even try and look for him anymore. If anything he was already back home, if he wasn't capture that is. I went into my pocket and grabbed my phone out and looked at the contact I made for Y/N. Though our interaction wasn't long, the memories still seemed to linger. "Marc, what are you doing?" Steven spoke. "Nothing." "I know what you're thinking Marc, and it's not a good one." "What's so bad about contacting her?" "I have a feeling she's bad news, and we can't focus on that right now." I looked up to gaze upon the moon, how the stars barely shined. I slightly furrowed my brows a bit as I thought of Steven's words. "You still care about her...don't you?..." "About who?" "...Layla...you still care about her. And I don't mean you as in a "caring" way, I mean you still love her." "That isn't any of your concern Marc." I slightly scoffed at his words. "Well it kinda is now since we're sharing the same life." "Then I should care about this girl too." "No, Steven, you don't understand." I stood up from where I was and saw a puddle on the ground with Stevens reflecting. "What do you mean?! I completely understand." "No you don't. I can't go running back to Layla anymore Steven, we're done." "You're still married!" "She brought DIVORCE papers Steven! ISN'T THAT CLEAR ENOUGH THAT SHE WANTS TO GET AWAY?!" "WHAT IF I STILL LOVE HER?!" I was taken aback as I heard his words. I knew there were tears forming behind his eyes, even if the mask was on, I knew him better than anyone ever could. "WHAT IF...What if I wanted to have a life with her Marc...You got to have such a wonderful and amazing woman and YOU fucked it up. YOU decide what was best for HER...you never ONCE seemed to care about HER from what I see. You had your chance Marc...I want to have the chance to make it right with her...atleast once..." I watched as he slowly fell to his knees, as I removed the mask I saw his teary eyes shut from the aching pain he felt. "Steven-" "no Marc..." he looked back at me once again from the ground. "I still believe there's a chance for us to still be with her...atleast let me try...please...you don't know how it feels to watch people have that special someone next to them. Watching people pass you by while holding hands, sharing laughs between one another...you don't know how happy I was that I was able to atleast have known I was married to someone. Though it was you who had gotten married, but to know that someone cared about me in some way..." I sighed as I thought about his words. I looked towards my phone, staring at the empty box of unfilled messages that haven't been sent between me and Y/N. "I knew it was you who set up that date." I turned my attention back after hearing his words. "Don't think I wouldn't figure that out. I don't even like meat...I'm a vegan...and to think I had a chance...but guess who ruined that for me." I slightly gazed my eyes away from the puddle in shame, as I knew I took away the only opportunity he had with being with someone. Hell it wasn't easy either. I looked slightly back at my phone before clicking the screen off and faced towards Steven once more. "Alright...I'll give it another shot." "Really?" "On one condition, I'm not begging on my knees to get back with her, that is something you are going to have to do. I'm not speaking with her about this until you set this up yourself, got it?" "Got it." "God why do I do this to myself." I slightly shook my head before I began to head back home.

MARC & STEVENS & Y/N POV

As I walked the halls towards my apartment door, all I could feel was dread, knowing that Reaper might not have returned back home. I got my keys out and began to unlock my door before slowly opening it. I carefully looked around the empty apartment and saw he wasn't here. "Shit" I spoke to myself. I fully walked in the door, but quickly the door shut behind me causing me to slightly jump. "You should see the look on your face." I laughed as I saw how scared he had gotten. "Where the hell have you been?!" "Around." "Around where?!" I shrugged my shoulders, "I went around town is all, I needed a moment to think." "Clearly you didn't think for shit cause you would've ATLEAST told me where you were going or what time you would've came back here but NO! I spent ALL DAMN DAY looking FOR YOUR ASS. I went to every FUCKING spot I could imagine, and you weren't there. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT HUH?!" I looked down slightly ashamed about leaving him like that. Though, I didn't think he would've reacted like that whatsoever. I figured he wouldn't have cared enough to even look for me, oh how wrong I am for thinking that. "I...I don't know alright. I didn't think you would run off looking for me." I put my index and middle finger to my temple and slightly closed my eyes in frustration. "I went running off because I didn't know what kind of dumb shit YOU would've pulled. For all I know you could've gone to see Vance again. And what was to have happened if he has some sort of trick up his sleeve to try and KILL YOU?! You would've fell right into his trap and I would've had no fucking way of knowing. As much as we fucking hate this WE are a TEAM. I don't know how long we have to stay like that, but for now not a single one of us can be pulling a stupid fucking stunt like that. Is that understood?!" I quickly turned my head back with my brows furrowed. "Who do you think you are for you to talk to me like that?!" I slowly began to walk towards him while he stood his ground, his head held slightly lowered as I could see the anger in his eyes. Even if I was shorter than him, it never meant her could intimidate me the way he wanted. "Like what, like a child?! Because you ARE one! You do whatever the hell you want, without a single care in the world and don't even THINK about the consequences of YOUR fucking actions." "MY actions?! What about YOU who gets all pissed off about EVERY LITTLE FUCKING THING! You have NO RIGHT to be talking to me like that. Keep that shit up and see what fucking happens!" "Like what, you're going KILL me?! You fucking wouldn't, you don't have the balls-" The next thing I knew I had a knife right in my left shoulder. His suit was on, it happened so fast I didn't even realize how quick he got it on. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I saw his white glowing eyes staring back into mine. If it was a fight he was wanting, I'll give him a fight. I quickly summoned my suit and kicked him off me. He went flying back but he never fell on his back. He quickly landed on his feet, slightly stumbling to get a better stance. I grabbed my crescent moons and waited. He unhooked one of his scythes that was connected to his side. The pain in my arm began to fade as the suit began to heal my wound, but yet I knew that spot was going to be one hell of a bruise. We both quickly lounged at each other with our weapons in hand, wanting nothing more than to see the other fall. "ENOUGH" Khonshu shouted. We both quickly halted in our place as both Anubis and Khonshu appeared right in front of us. Khonshu stared right into my eyes, I could still see the rage he had behind those dead eyes. I had never seen Anubis this upset at me before. Though I've done a lot of things in my life to piss him off, this was the first he stood before me, huffing his breath, his red eyes staring into mine. "It's time we take you to Osiris. Maybe he will be able to straighten you two out." Anubis spoke. "Why?!" "Because we are both tired of having to put up with the amount of bickering and fighting that has been going on between you two. AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK! We thought you two would have gotten better by the second day, but YOU decided to run off, and YOU" he turned towards Marc, "YOU are making the situation worse by even adding fuel to the flame. We're done. You two, follow us. Now." I watched as his eyes slightly glowed as he yelled at us. I hadn't seen him be this angry in a while. I watched as Khonshu and Anubis stood side by side, glaring at each of us. It felt as if we were kids getting yelled out by our parents, feeling their gaze burn into our heads, not daring to look up at them because it would make it worse. I would've fought back, I usually do when it comes to this situation, but this time...I knew not to make any snarky remarks. I've always been the type of give attitude back if I received it, it's known throughout the gods that I do this. They've seen it with their own eyes as well. Arguing back against Osiris as if it was nothing, as if I had a death wish of my own. Khonshu and Anubis both vanished into thin air, but I knew where were going, so there wasn't much means for them to walk down such cramped spaces. Even though they could alter their heights, I knew they preferred to be taller than us, it gives them a sense of power. Even though they're already deities of the moon and underworld, they still would rather look down on us than having to be eye to eye. I didn't bother to look back at Marc, didn't bother to even check if he had even followed me out the door already. The only way I knew he still followed was by the sound of his steps. We both didn't even bother to take the elevator cause we knew how much trouble we were already in. As we walked behind the streets of London, we stood before the wall that would lead us right back to Egypt, inside the great pyramid of Giza. Or as I like to call it, the first gateway to hell. Khonshu stood proudly on the left and Anubis stood more proper on the right, both awaiting for the brick walls to slide open. The sound of concrete rubbing against concrete felt louder than ever to me, seeing the darken hallway that leads to the main room where I know Osiris sat, everyone in the their chairs awaiting our arrival. Though this was none of their business on what has been happening, this was only for Osiris to determine. Though I knew there would be one fucker I would slice his throat if he even dared to speak to me so lowly. Anubis slightly looked back and glared and me before looking back at Marc who stood behind me. "Let's go." Was all he said in a dark tone. My brows slightly furrowed as I prepared myself to stand in front of the council.
