Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 12: An asshole.

And. . . We meet another hero. . .

--------------------------------------------------------------

When night finally fell I was exhausted, The second shift had to be the worst by far.

After Mr. Brige left the shop, We started to have a lot more customers, All of them ordering the same thing as him.

It was annoying as most of those people just took pictures of themselves holding the coffee in front of the counter, Very few of them actually drank the coffees, They just dumped them out.

The most annoying thing wasn't the waste of perfectly good coffee, It was the fact that some of them wanted refunds on their coffees because they and I quote 'Didn't like them'.

Thankfully, Kate took care of those.

Still, I was very mentally exhausted.

I was going to go pick Lily up from school, Mostly because Cali has all but adopted her.

However, Ian beat me to it.

I smiled down at my phone as I walked, The simple messages I had read a few times still up on my phone.

'Hey Corbin, Did you pick up Lily from school yet?'

                                                            'She's out of school? I didn't even notice'

'I guessed as much, I'll bring her back to the apartment if you want'

I had sent back a simple smile face before getting back to work, Turns out it was very good Ian picked her up because I had to work later than normal to clean up after the 'customers'.

'He really is a life saver' Eige commented, Poking his head out of my bag.

''Shh, Get your head back down'' I hissed quietly to him, Pushing the dark colored dragon back into the bag.

'Owie!' Cali squeaked out as my left eye started to sting.

'Sorry Cali' I heard Eige say to Caliginous as the three dragons inside moved about to easier fit around each other.

I reached up under my dark shades, Rubbing at the slightly sore eye, Feeling like someone had poked me in the eye.

A crash above caught my attention as I was walking, The loud jarring sound startling me.

Looking up in horror, I watched as a glass walkway that connected two towers was shattered away from it's spot by two battling supers.

As it plummeted down towards me, My thoughts raced with growing panic.

I couldn't outrun the falling thing, So that left the options of 'Die' or 'Use my powers'.

If I use my powers, That'd out me as a Villain. . . Meh, Die it is. . .

I stared up at the falling piece grimly, Not even noticing as my dragons carefully slipped out of my bag.

I did feel however their merging, There was a brief tight feeling in my chest before I felt nearly whole.

Glancing up, I stared at the 'new' dragon who towered over me.

When my dragons were merged, They create a whole new dragon, One who has it's own and different personality.

Gloaming. . .

The dragon was about the size of a single story house, His scales were solid black and his eyes? His eyes were hollow voids in his skull.
