Heroes We Could Be

Sometimes You Need a Little Blue

You can't kill me without becoming me. I can't kill you without losing the only human being that can keep up with me.

*Breaking news*

A valley woman found a corpse two days ago. Police believe it's homicide. The male in his late 30s to believed to be the manager at the biggest technology company in LA. The police identified him as Jonathan Keesh. His hand was sawed off and is not at the scene of the crime so we believe that the murderer took his hand. If we have anymore information we will be the one on the story.

"Turn off that crap." I turned around, seeing my mom.

"What? Why? We need to know about who to look out for."

"Yes, but the news over-glorifies what's actually happening."

"Fine." I turn off the tv and grab my bag.

"Where are you going?"

"I was planning on hanging out with some friends from school."

"Ha! You don't have friends."

"Rude...but true."

"You're going to hang out with a boy, aren't you?"

"And what if I am? What are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing... just tell me when you're going out."

I walked out of the house not turning back to hear my mom yelling.
"USE PROTECTION!"

Oh my god, I'm going to kill her.

I kept walking till I found an abandoned alleyway where I got my cube out and let it morph into the shape of my body. I then jump the the roof where Gladio... Sam and I meet. Once I got there I saw Gladio sitting on the edge of the building looking at the newly formed stars.

"Yo!" I startled him.

"I thought you said you weren't comming till later."

"My mom hates the news." I plopped myself down next to him. "Did you hear about the serial killer they say cut a dude's hand off?"

"Yep, that's been news for the past week. No one knows anything about the dude. Also, you know you break the mood when you talk about murder." I laughed. "How are you feeling, Ora?"

"I thought you said not to use our names."

"Well, it's just us up here."

"Im..." I took a deep breath of the almost winter air. "I'm good."

"It's a lot to process isn't it?"

"These last 3 months feel like a dream and I'm waiting to wake up. I never would of thought of me getting powers or nearly dying a day ago."

"I know what you mean." We both looked at the sky.

"Really you do?" I giggled at him.

"Yes I do. It's been a little under 2 years since I put on the mask and yet working with you made me a better hero and person."

I started to poking him. "Isn't someone getting mushy."

"Hey you're not the only one who's inspired me! Heros for the past couple of months been popping up all over the state's, there's even a new one in LA. I think he goes by Col-something."
