The Awakening

Work

When Shadow got to work he was exhausted. Sonic was always doing him. That's all they ever did really. They could be watching a movie when Sonic would pin him down and next thing he knew, they were doing it on the couch. In random places too. He took a shower before he went to work, hoping he didn't reek of it.
He walked in with Rouge and got the same greeting he did months ago on the day he died.
"Hello Shadow. When I got news that you had died I was so upset!" The orange monkey said to him. He glanced at her with a murderous face before looking away. "Shut it annoying Buffon! I don't care if you were upset! I doubt if you felt the slightest thing! Now quite it cause I'll never love you. And last time you were told, I'm with someone! Now stop!" Shadow growled at her. "And if you don't, I'll make sure there's a new receptionist. Don't worry, I'll make sure no suspension was pointed to me if the cops come to investigate." Shadow snarled before he stormed off to the Commanders office. Rouge just stood there as her and the receptionist were feeling shocked and afraid a little.
Shadow stormed into the Commanders office so violently that the human had jumped in his chair. He heard the commotion outside of his door, guessing it was Shadow. He was the only one who could do that. Scare the solders standing guard that you could hear it in their voices, make the solders retreat to guns in the end, making the shoulders go quite, and opening the doors with a kick. Rouge came rushing after him a few seconds later. "Shadow. I see your back." The Commander said as Shadow crossed his arms, huffed as he rolled his eyes. "No shit sherlock, not like your smart enough to be him. I know your sending us out since I'm causing 'havoc'. Now, what are we doing Abraham?" Shadow demanded. "Oh.... Uh, well you two are going to catch a pair of robbers. Here's the info. Come back here when your done, I'm guessing you'll have this completed shortly." The Commander said as he handed them the file. Rouge took it from him before leaving. "I'm going to need some guns." Shadow stated. "I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself without them." The Commander stated as Shadow looked at him. It caused the Commander to sweat nervously as he became uncomfortable and fidgety in his chair. "I can but I want guns. I also know I'm perfectly capable of blasting your face off as well.... So which is it? Guns or face?" Shadow asked.

Shadow kicked the door open so forcefully that it cracked in half as it broke off the hinges. "Hands up or I will shoot!" Shadow yelled, carrying guns in both hands. The two scruffy looking humans did as told. Shadow released fire, shooting at everything. "Too late." Rouge commented as she walked over. He shot everywhere but the robbers. "Let's go before he actually does shoot you. I'd be scared right now if I were you, just warning." She whispered as they nodded violently and agreed to let her handcuff them.
"Here's your robbers, now.... The other mission." Shadow said as he busted through the doors again.
Shadow busted through another pair of doors that were steel. He shot at everything in there before he even looked. Rouge hid behind him for safety. After his attack, Shadow walked into the room. "Clear." He said as she ran to the other side of it. This continued until they made it to a room like all the others except that it was guarded by every trap in the book. So when it was time for Rouge to do her job he was on constant alert. "Duck!" He order as she did as told, dodging a poisoned arrow. Then he had to push her out of the way. "Trap door." He noted. "Stand here." He said as he stood on a tile. She did as told and continued her job.
Shadow limped into the Commander's office with a worried Rouge following. "Are you sure your fine?!" She asked as Shadow sighed. "Yes Rouge! I'm fine!" He said as she gave the Commander a small pouch full of chips and hard drives and other things. "What's wrong with him?" The Commander asked. "Don't worry, it's not personal. He threatened to kill the receptionist this morning and threatened to put the males that tried to get him on bed in the hospital. He almost killed the robbers from the mission before this one. He also got hurt in this mission. Dislocated shoulder, paralyzed leg, sprained ankle, been poisoned, shot at, and I think a few other things. He's just tired.... He's been doing it a lot lately." Rouge whispered as the Commander had a suprised look. "Have him see the doctor then." He said. "He refuses to. He's just going to continue with it." Rouge responded.
Shadow got the help he needed after all of Rouges begging. She didn't know why he had to be so stubborn.
Shadow walked into the house. He could drop dead. He trudged inside and sat on the couch. His eyelids closed, ready to fall asleep. Shadow heard someone walk up behind him. "No Sonic! Not this time! I'm trying to sleep!" Shadow said hearing the other sigh and plop himself next to him. "Fine. What happened? Your so grumpy." Sonic pointed out as Shadow glared at him. "Gee! I don't know! Maybe cause I went to sleep a little late cause of someone. So I didn't receive enough sleep so I was a little grouchy. Then I had to deal with annoying, dumb ass people who acted cheerful to see me alive and men who tried to get with me. And then on my second mission I got a paralyzed leg, sprained ankle, had poison in my system, dislocated shoulder, shot at, a headache, sore fingers, blurry vision, I'm exhausted, and a lot more. But I don't really see my reason to be grumpy anymore, now that I say it out loud." Shadow said sarcastically. "Yeah. Me neither. I was stuck at home doing nothing without you." Sonic said. "Why didn't you hang out with Tails or something?" Shadow asked. "Because I wanted to be with you." Sonic answered. "Well you can't. Now quite it before you end up in a murder investigation." Shadow said before getting up and leaving. "Tch. Fine!" Sonic yelled to Shadow from where he sat.
