Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 17: Regret

And we get Corbin fighting again!

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

Winter was coming soon.

I could tell by how chilly the night had gotten in the city.

Up high on a sky scrapper it felt like cold daggers were tearing through my somewhat thin costume I wore to hide my identity.

'Guess that means we're going to be taking a break soon. . .' Eige pointed out.

We never did 'crime' during the winter, Mostly because I had no idea how to make a costume that would both keep me warm and allow me to still move.

'Well, We just have to be sure to cripple the Better days enough here so they won't try to rebuild while we're gone' Tene whispered excitedly.

''For once, I agree with your violent ideas'' I whispered back, Moving to join my dragons at the edge of the building.

Below was the sky scrapper we had burned down mere days ago.

The bottom few floors had managed to be saved from the looks of it.

The managers of the building had paid to have a new roof put on and a few things fixed.

Sadly the workers who had fixed the building really hustled, Getting it ready in a few days.

'Did the meanie people get a new home?' Cali asked, Poking his head out of my jacket.

''Yes, But they won't have it for long. . .'' I whispered, Sitting down with my back to the raised thigh high wall at the edge of the sky scrapper we were on.

Tene and Eige were both perched on the edge, Staring down at our target.

'It's not nearly as bright as before, We might be able to sneak inside' Eige pointed out, His dark blue-ish colored tail moving to curl slightly around my neck as he spoke.

I reached up to lightly rest my hand on his tail, Used to him doing this.

My dragons tended to use their tails similar to how monkeys use them, An anchor of sorts.

''We really don't want to take any risks, Seeing how many heros have been snooping around lately'' I reminded them as I glanced over the edge at the still bright building.

I couldn't really tell how bright it was with my shades on, So I decided to do something I rarely did.

Lifting my mask up a bit, I winced slightly at the suddenly brighter building and world.

The building was darker than before but it was still far too bright for my shadows.

''Eige, See if they still have the electric box on the outside in the same spot'' I said, Glancing up to the dragon as I spoke.

He nodded before leaping into the air, 'Swimming' in the direction of the building.

Pulling my mask down over my face again, I felt a little calmer as the world appeared darker to me.

''Tene, You're with me, Once Eige has cut the lights we head in and find a way to take them down from the inside'' I explained, Holding my arm out slightly for him to hop back onto.

'Do I help taking down the meanie people?' Cali asked, Poking his head out of my jacket again.

''Yes you do, Once the lights go out you have to be bait m'kay?'' I checked, Gently scritching the dragon on his head.

He let out a happy chirp, Closing his eyes as a faint purr started in him.

A small smile formed on my face as I gently pushed him back down into my jacket.
