Chapter one:

X-ray sighs walking into his room with his head down. He stops by his bed and brings his hands up rubbing them down his face, starting from under his glasses, with his head down.

"What's wrong?" A slightly echoed like voice asks from the nightstand getting X-ray to turn to it. Where the voice came from there is a round hand held mirror with a gold frame and handle the mirror shows someone who looks almost exactly like X-ray. The being has eyes that are completely brown and look like they're softly glowing and a crown of roses. The other X-ray seems to be made up of the neck up only with darker red rose petals like background mostly going up to about the top of the cheek area that like to help support it and look good. Though the other X-ray seems to pretty much always have his head turned to the right side like the other X-rays body is also turned to the side.

X-ray glances away with slightly hooded eyes. "You know what's wrong..." He responds almost sighing again.

"... Yes..." The mirror X-ray says. "I shouldn't have had to ask."

"I just don't get it." X-ray goes over to his nightstand and looks down at the mirror right where the other X-ray is. "Even though I work so hard it's always the same and it's always Vav who gets the attention. Its Vav who gets so much of the love."

"I know." The other X-ray says in sad agreement. "And you work so hard for them too. Why does most of the city only care about Vav? You do so much work but why is it ignored? Why can't people appreciate what we do for them?" The other X-rays tone remains sad during the time speaking.

"You're right." X-ray says picking up the mirror holding it in front of him yet close though not too close obviously. "And Vav keeps telling me that everything's okay. But what does he know!? He's never felt loneliness unlike me who understands it all too well..." He pauses for a moment then continues. "So I created you Rose." He says as he looks right at the other X-ray also known as Rose. He can remember that day well and it was during the time when he and Vav first split up thanks to the Mad King.

...

X-rays P.O.V.

After doing some research I believe that this should do the trick.

Finally after all this time I might have what I need in my life.

I hold the book in my lap as I sit on the floor of my room under the light of the full moon. I look down to it gently touching the one of the pages the book is open to and I begin to read out loud since right now no one will really hear me as long as I don't get too loud. "Come forth from deep within. A wish that is need of being granted in my time of desperate need. For it is a small creation I wish for one that will stand by my side. Make it so oh powerful ones." I say as I memorized the words just in case I couldn't really read them tonight in case doing so might take too long and it won't work. I move my hand away from the page and back towards my side as a reaction occurs.

A small ball of black forms right on top of the book that sends out lines of sand like energy moving together; that era closer together the further in you go. They go around to behind me then back ground only to meet at the centre of my chest. They then dissipate after a moment and the ball raises higher then takes the shape of me.

The other me has eyes that are completely brown and look like they're softly glowing and a crown of roses. The other me seems to be made up of the neck up only with darker red rose petals like background mostly going up to about the top of the cheek area that like to help support it and look good. Though the other me seems to pretty much always have his head turned to the right side like the other me's body is also turned to the side.

I smile and open my mouth speaking the name of this other me. I already know his name even though we pretty much have just met. I swear it just comes to me as if I've known it all along.

"Greetings Rose Prince."

...

No ones P.O.V.

"No one understand but you do." X-ray raises a hand and gently trails his fingertips along the edge of the mirror only touching the edges and not the actual mirror. He does this for a moment before dropping his hand away as rose petals seem to spill out then the mirror vanishes, Rose moves in a flurry of Rose petals to appear behind X-ray. He turns watching and meets the eyes of Rose as best as he can.

"Yes. I do understand." Rose confirms. "Just as I am you, you are me. I can feel your pain, your sorrow and so much more. You and we are under appreciated in this city. But perhaps if we had a chance to show people how much work you put into what you do then they might appreciate us. You could gain friends and the others will finally appreciate what it is that you do for them as they will come to admire and adore you. All it should take is some change. If everyone sees you in a way that they see Vav then you can truly be loved. I'm certain of that."

X-ray wonders how something like that would work. "Not even people in a burning building wanted my help when I was alone." He mummers to himself with half open eyes and head slightly down but Rose heard his mummer and responds.

"That's because they didn't appreciate what you do." Rose explains. "They didn't see you as they did Vav."

X-ray blinks looking up and opening his eyes more. "I think I got've got an idea." He then smiles at Rose. "Thanks."

Rose nods and goes back in a flurry of Rose petals to becoming the mirror in X-rays hand again.

The mirror doesn't seem to really show a reflection at the moment then after a few seconds it appears like a normal mirror.

X-ray places it down onto the nightstand then he heads out of the room to try to find Vav. He finds the other in the living room. He approaches the other from behind as Vav currently has his back facing the direction X-ray is in. "Um Vav?"

"Yeah X-ray?" Vav asks seemingly to be a little distracted by something in his hands and it's possibly his phone.

"I was just wondering if maybe the next time a villain pops up that I could go alone. Just this once at least." X-ray tells him causing Vav to pause what he was doing.

Vav glances at X-ray only moving his head just enough to see him as he looks back. "What nonsense are you talking about?" He questions. "You don't just go out and face a villain alone. Now why don't you go play some of your video games or go do parkour or something." He then turns away again.

X-ray clenches his teeth muttering a 'right' though he isn't sure Vav really heard that then he heads away slightly jogging. He ends up going to the bathroom as it's closer than to his room. He stands there at the sink with a mirror above it but his head is down letting shadows cover his eyes. He is gripping the edges of the sink a little tightly.

Rose appears in the mirror looking at X-ray with sympathy. "X-ray... Im so sorry."

X-ray looks up into the mirror then he reaches over towards the mirror that isn't as thick as a normal bathroom mirror. He was allowed to place a new mirror in place of the old one that neither him nor Vav liked. He places a hand on the corner as Rose watches for a moment as he fades away only for X-ray to pull back a fist slamming it into the mirror causing the area there to shatter. He pulls back his hand away only enough to uncurl it and place his hand gently against the broken part as his reflection appears. "It's okay..." He says a little shakily and his eyes are slightly narrowed allowing the brown in his eyes to truly come out. "I'm fine..." He says to himself as he stares into his own eyes in the mirror.
