I am so happy to see all the positive feedback and people interested in the story! Thanks to you guys, I rushed to finish the second chapter for you guys.
Songbird felt her heart beating like a drum as she stayed hidden behind the crate. She was trying to do anything to not let her cover be blown and that included a scratchy brown wig and ridiculous outfit. The museum had just closed and she was waiting for the rest of the employees to file out for the night. Songbird was still a little flustered from her experience the previous night but there was a job to be done. Slipping between the crates, Songbird walked closer towards the generators. Knocking these out would also knock out the cameras here. Luck was even on her side as there was a storm brewing outside- it'd cover her for the moment.
Before she did anything, Songbird couldn't help but worry. It had been quite a few days since she last saw Klarion and was going on a mission he'd scheduled for her before he left to be around Abra Kadabra. It concerned her, but Songbird knew that Klarion was probably just off having fun and causing chaos- similar to what she had heard in the news with that tower magically appearing in the field. That definitely had Klarion involvement in it.
Unplugging the main cord to the power, Songbird moved quickly. She quickly walked towards the case in the back of the museum, it was lit only by the minimal light of the windows. Songbird moved quickly through the crates and down the hallway. The security were nowhere in sight as she reached the glass case. She could tell immediately from the look it was thicker than something she could punch. Taking in a deep breath, Songbird let out a cry just long enough to break the glass before grabbing the open box on a velvet pillow before shutting it and holding it close to her chest. Songbird couldn't be sure that all the security was off as she ran to the nearest window and jumped out of it in order to escape.
Songbird ran down the streets, zig zagging between buildings until she reached the subway station. Ducking into the washrooms, Songbird locked the main door and slid under the doorway for the stall marked out of order. She carefully set the box on the toilet seat as she let herself take a moment to think. 'That went over smoothly. '
Pulling the wig off, she hung it on the back of the door as she unbuttoned the white shirt to reveal the black dress underneath. Untying her hair, Songbird rubbed her scalp to ease the pain from the tight bun. Songbird removed the lid of the toilet's tank before pulling out a plastic bag. Inside it was a purse and leather jacket. Slipping the jacket on, and stuffing the box with the wig in the back, Songbird slipped the bag on her shoulder, and unlocked the stall before walking out.
She nearly jumped when she saw legs in the room- she didn't hear the other door. Glancing up, Songbird nearly sighed in relief when she saw Klarion. He seemed irritated and tired but it was better than Black Canary. Songbird let her instincts take over as she moved to hug Klarion tightly. It was great not having to worry over her master. Klarion stiffened for a moment before hugging her back briefly.
Pulling away, Songbird looked at him before he grinned. "My Songbird, did you complete the task?" Songbird nodded as she noticed Teekl walking back and forth on the counter. She opened the bag and shifted the wig to show Klarion. Grinning Klarion placed a hand on her hip as he looked back to Teekl. "Come Teekl, we have other business to attend to." A large red portal opened up beside them before it swallowed them. Songbird shut her eyes for a moment as she waited until she felt the ground solidly on the floor before she saw the apartment around them. Klarion didn't remove the hand from her hip as he smiled down at Songbird. She was exhausted but excited that Klarion was back safely.
Songbird looked at Klarion before she moved to take the box out from below her wig. Klarion took it and tossed it on the couch as his free hand cupped her chin.
"My Songbird, did you miss me?" Klarion asked as blue eyes stared at him as Teekl whined out only to have Klarion snap at him. "Shush you mangy feline, I'm busy!" Songbird glanced at Teekl who sat on the box and decided to clean his paws rather than respond to Klarion. Klarion huffed before turning around to face Songbird as he pulled her body flush against his. Songbird's hands sat on Klarion's chest as she stared up in curiosity. Her heart was pounding as she saw Klarion leaning closer and her eyes closing. Klarion was definitely the Lord of Chaos- with all the chaos in her mind.
Surprisingly soft lips pressed hers, but it was far from a soft kiss. The kiss was full of greed and a desperation for more. Songbird couldn't deny she felt the same way as fingers clung to Klarion's jacket. Hands moved from her face to grasp onto her hips and roughly keep her close before she felt her back slam against the wall. Klarion's mouth ripped away from her lips to mouth focusing on leaving a hickey as she gasped. These were some of the moments Songbird loved to have with Klarion.

Songbird laid alone in the dark room on a large soft bed. This was the usual, after all Klarion didn't typically sleep on this plain, although if he was feeling particularly affectionate he would lay with her and cuddle. That was mostly for his benefit , she buried her face into the pillow and inhaled the familiar sharp scent. It was impossible to describe but the only thought to come to mind was Klarion. Her blonde hair masked her face as she kept her eyes squeezed shut against the pillows. Even when she heard the sound of a door opening and closing. Songbird waited until she felt Teekl jumped onto the sheets covering her back and shifting her tank top upwards. Turning her head, she saw Klarion sit on the bed, he looked extremely tense as Songbird moved Teekl from her back and moved towards Klarion. Soft fingers went to his shoulders and began rubbing them as Klarion took that opportunity to start whining and cursing.
Songbird listened to his words, about how the Light was so much responsibility and nowhere near the level of fun that he wanted. "They always want to plan out things, it's so annoying." Klarion whined as leaned into Songbird's touch. "We could just create so much chaos if the Light would allow me." Shaking his head, Klarion turned his body, to look at Songbird. A smirk on his face as he leaned close.
"Do you know what I want you to do now, My Songbird?" Klarion questioned as Songbird listened to him before asking quietly.
"Sing?" Klarion shook his head as he leaned closer to Songbird.
"Ding dong you are wrong!" he chuckled out before grabbing her chin as Songbird flushed slightly. "Two more guesses."
Songbird thought for a moment as she blinked her eyes. "Steal something?" Songbird asked as Klarion's other hand poke her in the forehead.
"Wrong" he sung out as Songbird let out a confused noise before taking her third guess.
"Get you food?" Songbird questioned since Klarion was quite usually random in his requests. Klarion shook his head as his hands moved from her before crawling down her shoulders and pushing down. Songbird felt her back hit the mattress as her arms were pinned over her head.
"I want you to tell me something." Songbird nodded as she felt Klarion's lips touch her jawline as a whisper carried into her ear. "Who saw you when you last snuck out?" Songbird stiffened as she turned to look at him. Part of her wanted to fib, but knew how terrible that would be. Taking a moment, she felt his dark sharp nails did in as a slight cry of pain escaped her lips.
"Green Arrow and Black Canary, mas-master." Songbird rushed out as she began to ramble. "I swear they didn't know who I work for though or where we are." Songbird wrists were hurting from Klarion as she squirmed underneath him. He glared at her before taking his hands off of her and pulling away from the bed.
He began roaring as she moved to cower on the bed. "I TOLD YOU TO NEVER LEAVE WITHOUT MY CONSENT. YOU BELONG TO THE LIGHT, YOU BELONG TO ME!" the room came to life with fire in Klarion's hands as his face mangled to one of horror as Songbird looked around the room in fear. Klarion continued to scream "YOU ARE MINE TO DO AS I SAY" as he waved his hands and fire shot towards Songbird as she jumped out of the main way, allowing the fire to only skim her leg. Crying out, Songbird wasted no time in rushing for the exit.
She stopped when a fireball whirled beside her and hit the nearby wall. Turning quickly, Songbird let out a cry which caught Klarion by surprise as he along with Teekl were thrown back. Songbird took the chance and threw open the door and went straight for the bathroom down the hall. Locking the door behind her, Songbird crawled up to the window as a deafening scream ripped through the night. Pulling herself through the small frame and falling ungraciously to the fire escape. Gasping for air, she ran down the fire escape as she couldn't hear anything but her pounding heart.
She was almost near the bottom when Songbird glanced up to see Klarion at the top of the fire escape, sending balls of fire down. Grounding her feet, Songbird cried upwards as the metal frame shook and began falling apart as Klarion teleported away. Songbird jumped down from the last floor as she began running down the cold pavement. If only she had shoes.
Sliding into a tiny alley, Songbird was catching her breath. What did she do? Marked herself for death is what. Glancing down the alley, she saw the shadow at the end. It seemed to have horns. The hands were glowing as Songbird nearly screamed in horror before running back onto the street. Her feet carried her only so fast and she knew that if Klarion really wanted to, he'd have back now but instead he was playing with her like a cat and mouse.
Songbird turned down the next street before seeing a ginger in red garbs. Speedy. Running to him, Songbird cried out his name. "Speedy! Please help! Please." Getting to him, she collapsed on her knees in sobs. "He- he's after me an- an- and" she said only to become intelligible with her sobs as arms hoisted her and dragged Songbird down some streets. She didn't know what was happening until Speedy crammed them into a phone booth.
How was a phone booth going to save them from a demon?
I hope you enjoy chapter 2. I want to get into a regular update so I can really start getting to more of the plot. I know a lot happened in this chapter but I was just so eager.
