"I ...have to take a break."

"You tell me. This fight was pretty exausting.", he told my with a smile and continued,
"Let's take a short vacation. I know we can't reveal our identities to one another but I think it could work."

I shook my head, "You don't understand."

He raised his eyebrow and I sighed, "I have to take some time off."

"You're right, I don't understand so please explain."

I have to admit, he looked kind of cute with his bright green eye's being so confused. It's strange ...we are saving the world for almost ten years and I don't know who he is. I don't know his real name, don't know how he looks behind his mask. I do know him but ...I don't. I know his chezzy lines when he tries to flirt with me. I know that he's caring and loving and will sacrifice himself for other people ...strangers he doesn't know. I know that he's a fighter and is fireless. I know his soul but not his appearance

"Are you okay? Did something bad happened?"

I smiled, "It's not bad but requires me to stop. Stop saving the day."

"Wait, wait, wait ...hold it for a second. Are ...are you saying to me that you're leaving this thing?"

I looked at him for a while before I gave him a nod. I felt like crap. I really did but ...this was something I had to do. I had to save a world ...a new world. My world.

He started to laugh. I knew this wasn't going to be easy.

"I'm sorry."

His laugh faded and now he was staring at me, dead serious.

"Wait ...you're not joking?"

I grabbed him by the shoulders, "Look, I know that this is all of a sudden and I know you don't understand and you have to know that I can't tell you the reason but know this ...I believe in you and I know that you will be okay by your own."

I could feel his sadness. His eyes lost the light they always had.

"Damn."

"I ...I don't ...I don' understand."

I gave him a weak smile, "I know and I'm sorry but I have to go."

"Did you tell him?", Harry asked me as I took of my mask.

I nodded.

He sighed and hugged me. My man. The love of my life. My soulmate, my sun, moon and stars. One of the best things that happened to me.

The moment I met Harry I felt an instant connection. We met in college. He was funny and open and I was sarcastic and a mistery to people around me. He figured me out pretty soon and pretty soon I realized he was my soulmate. The other half of me. My light. We started dating and three years after, he proposed and we got married. He knew who I was. Who I really was ...with and withouth the mask. And I loved him more than I loved life.

He kissed my forehead and looked at me, "If you don't want to do it-"

"No.", I cut him.

"I have to do it. For you ...for me ...for him."

He smiled and gave me a kiss. I felt happy. It felf ...like home.

Things happen. Bad things happen. Very bad things.

It was a sunny day. I hated the sun and Harry knew it. When it was sunny, life seemed so ...happy ...even if it wasn't. Bad things didn't seem so ...bad ...even if they where.

I was standing there. Breathing and living while he was in a coffin.

A month has passed and he was killed by a robber. A god damn robber. And I wasn't there to save him.

Alyssa, my best friend, held me as I held my belly. My baby. Our baby. Our boy that will never meet his father. The most perfect person that ever walked on this planet.

Somehow, in that moment I knew ...I just knew that I had to come back. And I will. When I give birth ...I will come back ...because I don't want this heartbreaking feeling for anyone. I will continue to fight, to fulfill my destiny. For my son ...for me ...for Harry.
