Creature of the Shadows

Who are you???

BlackHat's pov.

    Demencia yelled at Flug clearly mad that he would deceive her all of these years. To be honest, I was kind of upset that he hadn't told me right away either, but seeing him so sad and upset about it made me not tell him what I was thinking right away. 

   I knew Flug was terrified of the others finding out who was, but I was not expecting him to say what he had said. "You're right, I'm not a human, my name is not Flug Syls, and I am a monster. Only a monster could make everyone around him afraid, even without doing anything. Only a monster would make a hero flee from a battle. Only a monster can lie to his closest allies. What was I thinking? How could I have lived a normal life, after all, I am only a monster."  He then ran.

    Demencia looked shocked and a bit of something else, something I couldn't really describe. 

    "Flug!" I shouted as he ran. I ran to the entrance to the hall which the doctor had run through only moments before. I then gave Demencia a look of pure hatred before running through the hall myself. 

      I ran to his lab and slammed the doors opened. Flug was crying in a corner with a raygun in his hands. A single silent bullet had been fired from a gun, it was obvious. Some of Flug's beautiful dirty blond hair was singed near his one of his temples, the black blob that was usually around his right was now in the same area his hair was singed. He had tried to kill himself, but had, fortunately, failed because of his powers. 

    "Flug," I had said in a soft voice as I walked up to the scientist. 

      He looked up at me and said, "Do you still love me, even though I'm a monster?" 

    "Flug, I don't see you as a monster. If anyone is a monster it is me, I am a demon. You are kind despite being a feared being and being on the villain side. And I will forever love you, even if you do something really stupid. You are my scientist, and you will always be, nothing can change that." I told him.

    "But what Demencia said is true, almost everything about me is a lie." He told me.

     "What do you mean?" I asked.

     "I've always told you guys that I'm a human, I've lied about my family and who they treat me, I've lied about my life before working here, I've even lied about my real name!" He explained.

     "Wait, you lied about your real name?" I questioned. 

    "Yes, Flug Slys was a name I made up on the spot when I came here. I mean Flugslys just means plane crash in another langue, who would name their child that? The name I used before I came here was Dexter Henderson, but that wasn't even my real name. My birth name was Liam Schmidt. I had to change my name so no one would be able to track me down easily. I still find myself looking around when someone says Liam and/or Dexter." He explained.

    "Wow, I never had guessed that you changed your name." I said. Ugh that sounded stupid.

     "heh, it kind of did." He said. I looked at him confused. "And yes you did say that out loud." 

    "I did?" I said as I felt heat go up to my face. I felt a kiss on my check. I looked at Flug. He was smiling a bit, his eyes were a mix of green and purple. It was nice to stare at those changing eyes of his, the colors swirled around like a lava lamp. 

    I knew he was happy, but based on the purple he must have been slightly scared. I could also smell the aroma known as fear coming from, barely, but it was still there.
