Ch 3

AN: I am now co-authoring this story with a friend from school. So if you notice a style change, don't be alarmed. And I will be adding her characters in this story. And sorry for the long wait. My disk go messed up and i lost my ch 3, so it took me a while to rewrite it.

Virgil sat on the tallest building in Jump City over looking the city. Although he knew it was a city littered with crime, he wasn't into crime fighting. Or, at least, not the crime fighting most people thought about. He was a demon hunter, cursed, and sworn to rid the world of demons, just like his father and his grandfather, and so forth. It had been the family curse ever since feudal Japan. His ancestor, Samanosuke, was the first in the family to be inflicted with this curse. He thought he had killed the demon king, but was mistaken. His thought led back to the day he saved that masked police officer back in Gotham…

"Get a grip on your self. You're here to do a job, not day dream." But Virgil couldn't help it. "That man must have been very strong to last against a demon for that long. And he was either incredibly brave or really stupid to go against one. I'll have to look into that later…" Virgil stopped mid-thought as he heard a loud shuffling come through the door. He quickly hid in the shadows and unsheathed his sword. It glinted dully in the night light.

"Yo! Virgil! You there? It's me, Cyborg! I need to talk to you!" Cyborg looked around, trying to find Virgil.

Virgil hadn't realized it, but he was holding his breath. He let out a heavy sigh a he came out of the shadows, his silver hair glowing dully in the midnight sun.

"Man, you look relieved to see me. What were you expecting to show up? Monsters?" asked Cyborg jokingly.

"Actually, I was. In case you hadn't noticed, this place is surrounded with the type of meat that demons are attracted to.

Cyborg looked taken aback. "Umm, sure… demons attracted to meat… and here I thought I was the odd ball…"

"I heard that," retorted Virgil, even though he was a good 20 feet away from Cyborg.

"At least we know your ears work…," grumbled Cyborg before point at the sky and crying out, "Hey! Look! It's a shooting star! Hey man, make a wish!"

"That's no shooting star… it's moving way too fast," replied Virgil in a worried voice as he watched the object streak across the sky above Jump City Bay… the same bay where Titan Tower stood. They watched it for another second before it plunged into the cold, dark waters of the bay with a ginormous splash.

Cyborg looked in the direction of the bay for a second longer before saying, "We better go check it-"

"Look! There it goes again!" interrupted Virgil. "It looks like it's trying to fly… no, wait, it's falling again…"

Again, Virgil and Cyborg watch as the thing tried to fly up only to crash back down in a fiery ball. "We better go check this out," said Virgil after watching the fireball crash into the bay two more time.

"I already said… hey! Wait up!" yelled Cyborg to the receding figure.

"Before we go, we should arm ourselves a little better," threw Virgil over his shoulder without stopping."
