Hi everyone! I know, I know, I still have my HTTYD fic I SHOULD be working on, but I had to write this for an assignment in my Creative Writing class- so here ya go, the first installment- let me know if you want more of this or not-
The sounds and lights of the city's nightlife filtered through the rain, reflecting tired faces and echoing the disarrayed conditions of the streets, providing a perfect cover for a dark shadow, running and jumping along the rooftops, the rain sliding off inky wings tucked close to their back, narrowed lavender eyes trained on his target, a tall skyscraper housing the city's top business. Mr. Adnan, who was the CEO of the only power company for the sprawling population, and the man who had been ripping off citizens for years. Who had finally caught the attention of the Darkling when him and his "allies" had noticed that the Millionaire was the Hero Leagues main sponsor. But tonight, they were going to put an end to his help, and rob the man blind! This would be the biggest heist they had pulled in months, and if they did everything right, the company would be forced to declare bankruptcy.
He leapt off the side of a building, falling for a few seconds until he spread his large wings, gliding silently to the mirrored windows, and tucked himself up, crashing through the window. Under any normal circumstances, an alarm would have gone off the second he hit the glass, but the current silence around him let him know Kuro must have already disabled the security. His earpiece crackled to life in his ear, and the soft japanese accented voice asked, "Lucifer? Did you get in alright?"
"Don't use my name when we are doing something like this and yes, I'm in. Send in my brother." he muttered.
there was a rustling on the other end, and the sound of Kuro growling in annoyance.
"He says he won't come until you use his villain name."
Lucifer rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Fine, just tell….The Evil Mister Awesome to hurry up and get his ass in here, we don't have all night"
Mere seconds later a smaller figure came tumbling in through the hole he already made, and jumped up, his cape flapping loudly as he cackled. Lucifer shushed him and smacked him.
"There are still guards wandering around, and if you don't shut up, I'll kill you."
His brothers ruby orbs shined mischievously in the dim lights coming through the windows.
"Okay, okay, I'll quiet down." He pouted, pulling his pistols out from their holsters.
Lucifer sighed and shook his head, walking out into the hallway, folding his wings up so he could fit. He headed for the stairwell, and grabbed his brother, flapping his wings.
"Hold on tight, I'm going to fly up the middle of the stairwell."
He nodded and clung to him like a sloth. He jumped over the railing and pushed upwards with his wings, propelling them up to the top of the tower, where the CEO's office would be located.
He alighted gently on the landing at the top, setting his brother down on his feet and folding his wings up.
"Kuro, we are at the we need to know about?"
The voice in his ear snickered. "Not anymore, I disabled it all. You would think someone with this much money would have better security"
His brother cackled from somewhere behind him, and he hushed him again, waving him forward.
"Lets hurry up, I have a 12 pack at home calling my name" he muttered, creeping toward the iron double doors of the office. He reached forward, grabbing the handles, tugging it open just as his earpiece started to give off static, Kuro screeching something at him. It was too late however, and the doors exploded outward, blasting him back on top of Gilbert. 4 figures emerged from the doorway, smirking and pointing their various weapons at them. "In the name of justice, you are under arrest!" The tallest of them cheered, pulling a wire rope sparking with electricity from his belt. Lucifer's eyes widened and he grabbed Gil, rolling out of the way as they were almost lassoed and fried.
"You bloody fool you missed him!" The shortest screeched and started to throw what seemed to be teacups at him, only these exploded upon contact. Lucifer snarled and barrel rolled to the side, avoiding the taller lanky blonde that had leapt at him, his ears ringing from the groups yelling.
"You stupid frog, grab him!" the british one shouted.
Said frog turned with a huff. "My name is French Wonder!"
As they bickered, their other teammate trying to interrupt, Lucifer took his chance and started to run off.
"Hey, Get back here!"
He looked behind, and sure enough, Captain Marvel was chasing after him, his lasso's static lighting up the hallway in irregular bursts. He cursed and tightened his grip on Gilbert, and veered to the left, headed for a wall to wall window over looking downtown.
"Hang on Gil!" He sped up, and with a high pitched scream from Gilbert, they crashed through the window. He quickly opened his wings up, but as he did, He screeched, a burning pain encircling his ankle. He grit his teeth, and tried to pull away, his breathing growing labored as he flapped desperately, but he was tugged back, the skin starting to blister and sear. Just as he thought it was over however, Gilbert shimmied up, and draped himself over his shoulder, shooting at Captain Marvels feet. He cursed and jumped around, trying to avoid the bullets. Lucifer started to fly forward again, making the hero realize he had to let them go, or fall, and unlike his friends, he wasn't gifted with the ability of flight. He snarled and recalled his lasso, the rope falling away from Lucifers ankle. They shot forward, the two whooping as they made a quick escape, leaving the heros in the dust.
"I can't believe you two didn't get ANYTHING out of this!" Kuro hissed, his blood red eyes not leaving the semi circle of computer monitors as he typed angrily. "We have been planning this for weeks and those idiots just show up out of nowhere, and ruin it all!"
Lucifer rolled his eyes, leaning back on their old couch and taking a swig of his beer.
"Calm down Kuro, it's not the end of the world."
"Maybe not,but still, I would like to accomplish SOMETHING without those idiots showing up!"
Gilbert strode in, a dingy towel hanging loosely off his hips. "Why are we just going after money, huh? You know what would be awesome? If we ruled this whole city, and got rid of the heros permanently."
He waited for the other two to insult him and his "stupid" idea as usual, but none came. he looked over at them, and found the two grinning at each other.
"Its perfect! With the heroes gone, we could do ANYTHING!" Kuro exclaimed, spinning in his chair to face the monitors again. "And I know just who we need to pull this off successfully."
Lucifer and Gilbert looked at each other in confusion. Kuro sighed.
"You idiots, the mayor! If we capture him at just the right time and bring him back here, the heroes will have to surrender, with the mayors life in danger and whatnot!"
The trio grinned mischievously, and began their planning, deciding to gather their needed intel the following night.
Sooooo yeah go ahead and let me know if you would like to see more, yes?
