Time for Chapter 7 of Bringing Order. With Season 2 of Cloak and Dagger going on at Freeform, I'm really getting hyped to keep working on this story. The last chapter, Nick and Judy got a day dedicated to them by the Mayor. After appearing as Cloak and Dagger, they touched his paws and read into his heart. It turns out, he knows something about the unnatural disaster that might strike Zootopia in the near future. Lionheart also wants to speak with the two at his office. This chapter was supposed to be part of the last chapter, but things were getting a bit delay. I also thought it would be easier just to do a new chapter. What does Lionheart know and can Cloak and Dagger trust him? Let's find out.


The light of a single candle can both defy and define darkness.

After the end of Cloak and Dagger Day, the crowd of people finally headed home and left the cleaning crew to do what they do best. Clean up. Meanwhile, the two heroes teleport right into City Hall. Thinking that they needed to set a meeting first, they walked up to the front desk. Dagger, with her warm nature, spoke to an antelope at the desk.

"Excuse me? The mayor wanted to meet with us." Dagger said to the desk clerk.

The female antelope was typing and looking at her computer as she said: "The mayor doesn't really take meetings with random people.". She then turns to look at Cloak and Dagger and her attitude completely changed. "B... But you two aren't exactly random people, Mr. Cloak and Ms. Dagger."

"Please. Just Cloak and Dagger." Cloak replied. "Now then, Mayor Lionheart?"

"Allow me to take you to him." A female voice said as they walk toward the two heroes.

Cloak and Dagger turned around to see a female sheep wearing glasses and had some files around her arm. It was Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether. She fixed her glasses as she looked at the two with awe.

"It's so nice to finally meet you two." Dawn said gleefully. "Cloak and Dagger. Dagger and Cloak. The city's great heroes."

"Flattery will get you both nowhere and everywhere." Cloak stated with a smirk.

"Assistant Mayor Bellwether, a pleasure to meet you." Dagger said knowing who she was.

"Oh no no no! The pleasure is all mine. I'm a big fan. Especially you, Dagger." Dawn admitted. "I mean, you're just so awesome jumping into action, facing any challenge even with your size. And you're still so young."

"Come now. I'm actually much older than I look." Dagger said lying since she is just turning 17.

"Either way, you're a real inspiration to us 'little' guys." Dawn said admiring Dagger.

"Thank you." Dagger said smiling.

"Now. Follow me and I will take you to Mayor Lionheart." Dawn said leading the way.

Cloak and Dagger followed the little sheep down the hall. As they passed a few people, most of them were being... unprofessional and took pictures with their phones and asked for their autographs. The two heroes had to politely push them away and said maybe another time to the ones who wanted autographs.

"Sorry. You must get this all time." Dawn said thinking they didn't like getting hounded by fans.

"Comes with the job." Cloak stated.

"So Ms. Bellwether, do you know why the mayor wanted to have a day dedicated to us?" Dagger asked.

"Why not? You two deserve a day." Dawn said.

"But it hasn't even been a year for us yet." Cloak stated.

"But today does mark the 100th day since you still made your first appearance." Dawn stated.

"Huh." Both Cloak and Dagger went realizing that it has been a hundred days since they started. Guess they haven't realized that they been superheroes for a decent while now.

"Hard to believe that we been doing things for 100 days." Cloak stated.

"Guess that's a good enough reason to give us a day." Dagger said. "But do you also know why the mayor wants to speak with us?"

"The mayor has had his eyes on you for a while now. He considers you two to be quite unique." Dawn stated.

"Because of our powers." Cloak said implying that it was those that made them unique.

"A bunny who throws knives of light and a fox that vanishes in shadows. That's not average." Dawn stated. "I mean, Zootopia has always been an amazing city and now we have our very own superheroes. So, he feels that he needs to change more things in the city."

"So, he wants us to be the main pillars of this change?" Dagger asked.

"Correct." Dawn said as she stops walking to look at Cloak and Dagger. "You two alone have changed everything about how people should view things. Including the mayor."

"So the mayor been seeing things differently too?" Cloak asked.

"I noticed it when he started acting differently. He usually runs me ragged with work, but these days, not as much." Dawn admitted. "He does seem... I don't know, worried about something."

"Do you know why?" Dagger asked.

"No. I assume he was just feeling pressure because of his campaign for re-election." Dawn replied. "Maybe it's actually more than that."

Cloak and Dagger assumed it had something to do with him knowing about the upcoming unnatural disaster.

"Either way, something must be bothering him." Cloak stated.

"Yeah..." Dawn said agreeing with Cloak.

The three then went back to walking and stopped at the doors into the mayor's office.

"We're here. Mayor Lionheart is waiting for you inside." Dawn said to Cloak and Dagger.

"Thank you, Ms. Bellwether." Dagger said.

"I leave you two now. It was nice meeting you both." Dawn said smiling.

"Likewise." Cloak said with a smile.

Dawn then made her leave as Cloak and Dagger watched her go.

"Do you think she counts herself to sleep?" Cloak asked making a joke.

"Come on. We need to see the mayor." Dagger said not wanting Cloak to joke around.

"Right." Cloak said agreeing.

"Seriously Nick, what do you think Lionheart wants?" Dagger asked a bit quieter.

"Look, clearly he knows something about the unnatural disaster that Auntie Malaloo told us about and he may also know that we are the divine pairing. I don't know how much he knows, but it undeniable that he does know something." Nick stated quietly.

"When we looked into his head, we saw him as a king and us as knights. He wanted us to protect his kingdom. In real life terms, that would mean he wants us to protect his city." Dagger stated with her paw on her chin.

"Don't we already do that?" Cloak asked.

"I think this is different." Dagger said.

"Whatever he wants to talk about, I guess we will just have to hear him out. Just remember, he's the mayor. Meaning he's the most powerful mammal in the city. Be careful with what we say to him." Cloak warned his partner.

"You think we can't trust him?" Dagger asked.

"I don't trust anyone with power... except you. But for now, let's hear what he has to say and then decide if we need to put tabs on him." Cloak suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Dagger said agreeing with her partner.

"Now, let's go see 'his majesty'." Cloak said.

"Let's." Dagger said.

The two then opened the doors and sees Mayor Lionheart waiting for them in his seat. Beside him standing up was Chief Bogo.

"Cloak, Dagger, glad of you two to come. Please close the doors if you would." Lionheart said with a smile.

"Mayor." Dagger simply said as she and Cloak close the doors.

Cloak looked and noticed Bogo and said sarcastically "Oh goody. Bogo's here.".

"Someone had to be here to keep an eye on you two in case the mayor was in danger." Bogo stated.

"Aww. Isn't that considerate of you, Bogey Wogey." Dagger said in a teasing matter.

"Stop calling me that!" Bogo said looking mad.

"Now now. Take it easy, Chief." Lionheart said to the steamed buffalo. He then faces the two heroes. "Cloak, Dagger, how about you two take a seat?"

Lionheart had sent two chairs for them to sit in near the front of his desk. Dagger walked up to one of the chairs and sat on it. Cloak teleports and sits on the other one. Both chairs were really meant for bigger mammals, but the chairs were up enough to put the two in eye view with the mayor. Bogo seemed mad with Cloak for some reason.

"Was it really necessary for you to do that instead of walking?" Bogo asked.

"Does it upset you that I can teleport?" Cloak asked.

"Very much. Yes." Bogo answered.

"Then I'm doing my job." Cloak said with a smirk.

Dagger responded by laughing a bit. Even Lionheart laughed. Bogo didn't seem to find it funny. The laughter then stopped and Lionheart had a serious look on his face. Cloak and Dagger noticed and did the same.

"Mayor Lionheart, why did you wanted to speak with us? And you don't need to sugar coat it. I think the day dedicated to us did that." Cloak said.

"Wanting a straight-forward answer, eh? Very well." Lionheart said as he straighten his tie. "Ever since the first day you appeared, my curiosity continued to peek with you. A fox and bunny with superpowers taking on criminals from thieves to drug lords. Once more, they are many times your size."

"Your straight-forward answer still has some sugar on it." Cloak stated feeling Dagger and him were still getting sweet talked.

"Apologies." Lionheart said. "Simply put, you two have completely turned this city on its head."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Dagger asked.

"Maybe a bit of both." Lionheart admitted. He then put his elbows on his desk as he places his paws near his mouth. "Our city's motto is 'Where anyone can be anything.'. But even so, mammal usually stuck to what they were good at. Yet, your existing proves 2 things. 1.) Anyone really can be anything. Including a superhero. And 2.) Powers of unnatural origin exist in this world."

In most parts of the world, people believe that superpowers only existed in comics and movies. But Cloak and Dagger were the acceptions that those don't apply to them. It also says, they exist, then maybe others do.

"So, you're curious if there is others like us." Dagger said.

"It's a possibility." Lionheart said. "Do you know if there are others like you?"

"No. It's not like we know any others like us or that superheroes keep on contact with other superheroes." Cloak stated.

"There really hasn't been any other mammals like us?" Dagger asked.

"None to my knowledge. But I'm not even sure if it's the case for other cities." Lionheart stated. "Certain cities tend to keep things to themselves."

"I see." Dagger said as she rubbed her chin.

"Okay. So there may or may not be others like us. Question is, what do you want us for?" Cloak asked.

"If things go beyond the usual boundaries of law-breaking, I want you to be our headers." Lionheart said.

"Your... headers?" Cloak and Dagger asked.

Basically, the mayor wanted Cloak and Dagger to handle anything that goes beyond what the ZPD can handle. Like, if there were actually supervillains, Cloak and Dagger would handle it. Bogo already didn't seem to like the idea.

"Sir, you can't be serious." Bogo said against this.

"I am." Lionheart said.

"Mayor Lionheart, we can't trust either of them." Bogo said firmly.

"Is it because we're a fox and bunny doing your job better than you?" Cloak asked. "Wow. Quite speciest, aren't you?"

"While it's part the reason, that's not the whole reason. I just don't trust vigilantes in costumes and masks thinking that they are above the law." Bogo stated firmly.

"Uhhh... we don't wear masks." Dagger stated while pointing at her face.

"You might as well be." Bogo stated. He then pointed at Cloak. "It's one thing for this one's always covering his head with that hood..." He then pointed at Dagger. "... but you, I can't even find anyone close to looking like you in our database."

"Good. Nick was right. No one can really recognize me when I'm Dagger." Dagger thought with a grin.

"Bogo, if you're are really taking the time looking through your database for a 'bunny', a mammal known for multiplying, you must have a lot of sad lonely nights." Cloak stated with a smirk.

Dagger responded by laughing while Bogo just got mad again.

"You just love to make jokes, don't you, fox?" Bogo asked.

"Why do you care about our identities so much? If we protect others, it shouldn't matter who or what we are." Cloak stated.

"In my eyes, people who hide their identities are no different from criminals." Bogo said.

Cloak and Dagger don't just piss Bogo off. Bogo tends to piss them off too. As Nick and Judy, they were never big fans of him to begin with.

"Fine. You want to know something about our identities? I'll tell you then." Cloak said.

Dagger looked a bit stunned. Was Cloak really going to tell Bogo and Lionheart their identities?

"The truth is..." Cloak said. "... I'm actually a rabbit and she's a fox. Our costumes just look really convincing that no one would believe it."

"AH HAHAHAHAHAH!" Dagger burst in laughter.

"DO YOU THINK OF ME AS SOME FOOL?!" Bogo shouted out at Cloak in anger.

"Pretty sure you think that." Cloak said smirking.

"Ah... Grrrr... you little..." Bogo said losing his temper. He then went over to Cloak and had his hoof near his hood. "Give me one reason I shouldn't take of this hoodie and reveal who you are?"

Looks like Cloak might have pushed Bogo too far. If Bogo pulls off Nick's hood, he could reveal who he is. Cloak nor Dagger seemed that fazed by this.

"Trust me, you don't NOT want to do that." Cloak warned.

"Why is that?" Bogo asked.

"Cheif Bogo, stand down." Lionheart said in a bit of an angry matter.

"No." Cloak said with his right paw out. "It's fine. If he wants to try it, then I'll let him." Cloak then stood up on his chair and lean his head down a bit. "Go ahead, Bogo."

Bogo was unsure why Cloak was willing to let him take off his hood. He believes it was a trick of some sort. But he was still tempted to know Cloak true identity. As Bogo slowly reached for Cloak hood, from some reason, Dagger took out her phone and started recording this. The second Bogo touched Cloak's hood, his Darkforce activated and pushed Bogo away and caused him to fall on the floor. Cloak and Dagger both began to laugh at Bogo's pain.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe you actually tried that!" Cloak said still laughing.

"Annnnd... save." Dagger said as she stops recording.

"What the hell was that?!" Bogo shouted out really pissed off.

"See, here's the thing. The powers I wield, they sometimes have a mind of its own. But more importantly, they protect me and my identity." Cloak stated with a sly grin. "So, my identity's safe."

Bogo got up he was looking more ticked off than he was before.

"GRRR! I should arrest you for assaulting an officer." Bogo said angrily at Cloak.

"I told you. My powers have a mind of it's own sometimes and it's not like I didn't warn you." Cloak stated.

"Mayor!" Bogo said looking at the mayor.

"Now now. He did warn you." Lionheart stated.

"He's dangerous!" Bogo stated very firmly.

"Jeez. Someone needs a chill pill." Dagger said. "As a matter of fact..."

Dagger then got up, held her paws out, and summoned up a small sphere of light. Bogo was starting to think that now Dagger was going to attack him.

"Now what is she doing?" Bogo asked taking a step back.

"Just settle down and take your medicine." Dagger said to Bogo.

Dagger then threw the light sphere at Bogo. Bogo flinched and expected the sphere to hurt. But as it hit it, it didn't hurt. Instead, it engulfed him with light that flows through his entire for a second. Bogo took a good look at himself and sees that he is fine. In fact, he even felt less angry and stressed.

"What... do you just hit me with?" Bogo asked Dagger.

"Purification Blast." Dagger said. "My version of a chill pill. Don't you feel calmer now?"

"I... actually do." Bogo admitted.

"Amazing..." Lionheart though impressed by the little bunny.

"However, I still don't like that you just did that without my consent." Bogo said regain his composure. "A clear explanation of what you were going to do would have been nice."

"It may have work, but I don't think it did much for Mr. Grumpy." Dagger whispered to Cloak.

"I don't think you have enough power to calm him down." Cloak whispered back.

"If your fun is done, where were we?" Lionheart asked.

"You talked about wanting us to be your headers when it comes to taking on baddies if they are the same as us." Dagger stated.

"Correct." Lionheart said.

"Nice as that is, there hasn't been anyone in particular that has powers like us." Cloak stated.

"But you can't deny the possibility, can you?" Lionheart asked.

"That... we can't." Cloak admitted.

"I'm curious. How exactly did you get your powers?" Lionheart asked. "Were you born with them? Were they given to you? Did you get it from an accident? Do your powers actually come from your cloak and dagger? Or something like that?"

Cloak and Dagger felt it was best not to tell Lionheart how they got their powers.

"Who can say?" Cloak said why shrugging. "One morning, we found out we had powers and decided to be superheroes. It's as simple as that."

"I see. Not gonna give me a straight answer. That's fine." Lionheart said. Lionheart then straight up his tie before saying something else. "Then can I ask you something else?"

"Depends on what it is, sir." Dagger said.

"My next question is this." Lionheart said before giving a serious look. "Where were you two the night of the oil rig explosion 8 years ago?"

The second Lionheart mention the oil rig explosion, both Cloak and Dagger had stun looks on their faces. Their ears drooped and their eyes widen. They both then looked at each other.

"Judging by the expressions on your faces and you clearly knowing what I'm talking about, you really must have been there." Lionheart said. "There were reports that I read saying the explosion also sent a wave of unusual energy. That's how you two got your powers, was it?"

"He knows!" Cloak and Dagger though.

"Damn it. With one question, he's already figured out HOW we got our powers and the night we got them." Cloak though.

"If we lie about it now, he might dig into it more." Dagger though.

Cloak and Dagger looked at each other and nodded. They didn't have to tell him the whole truth, but they might as well tell him enough.

"Guess there's no point in hiding it." Cloak said shrugging. "Yes. We were in the area the night the oil rig exploded."

"We were exposed to two energies. Lightforce and Darkforce. I have Lightforce and Cloak has Darkforce." Dagger stated.

"Lightforce and... Darkforce?" Bogo said.

"Are... you referring to the embodiments of light and darkness? Purity and corruption? That's what your powers are?" Lionheart asked seeming to know something about it.

"You actually know what are powers are?" Dagger asked a bit surprised. Her and Cloak are only just knowing what their powers are called.

"When I was a cub, I remember reading stories about magic and powerful forces in the world. I never believed that they could actually exist. That is... until you two appeared." Lionheart said.

"Sir, I don't think you need to bring up stories of fantasy." Bogo said.

"Would you consider a fox that can vanish in shadows and a bunny that can create daggers of light a story of fantasy?" Lionheart asked. "We can't deny things like that kind of things anymore. Cloak and Dagger are living proof. The most you deny it, the less you will be able to understand."

"Fair point." Bogo said.

"So to clarify, you both gain your abilities from being exposed to Lightforce and Darkforce energy from the night the Roxxon oil rig exploded." Lionheart said.

"Yes, but they didn't officially activate for us until recently." Cloak stated.

"I see." Lionheart said. "Roxxon stated that the explosion was because of a design flaw."

Dagger looked a bit grim. The oil rig was her father's, Stu Hopps, design. Roxxon the blame all on him and since he died that night, there was no one to say otherwise. Dagger wanted to say something about that but felt it would lead to giving out her identity.

"Yeah. They did." Dagger said trying to look natural.

"But there's something that always bugged me about that night?" Lionheart asked.

"What's that?" Cloak asked.

"Was the explosion just an incident or... was it caused because they knew exactly what they were digging for?"

Cloak and Dagger eyes widen as they heard that.

"What are you saying, Mayor?" Dagger asked.

"That maybe someone in Roxxon was willing to cause it... because it would have been to obtain the Lightforce and Darkforce energy you two have." Lionheart stated.

"WHAT?!" Cloak and Dagger shouted out as they stood up on their chairs.

"Judging by your reactions, I guess the thought never occur to you." Lionheart said.

"N... no. We always knew we got our powers from that night but... it never came to mind that what happened was intentional." Cloak admitted looking stunned.

"Do you really believe that someone at Roxxon was willing to risk that oil rig exploding just to obtain the powers that Cloak and Dagger possess?" Bogo asked. "Cause according to the report I read years ago..."

"You saw what they can do, Cheif. We're only lucky that these two decided to use their powers for good. But if other people had their abilities..." Lionheart stated.

Anger started to stir inside Dagger.

"You mean... the whole reason that explosion happened is that some head guy got power hungry and wanted the powers we never asked for?" Dagger asked angrily.

"Dagger, calm down." Cloak told his partner.

"NO!" Dagger shouted out as she stomped on the chair. Her crescent then started glowing. "Do you know what happened that night? People died! Friends, family, and they blamed it on one person! Now you're telling us that it might not have been by accident?"

"Dagger!" Cloak shouted out.

The fox then used his cloak to grab Dagger and teleport them to a far part of the room. Far enough for the two of them to talk in private.

"Judy, you need to calm down. Your crescent is glowing." Cloak whispered.

"I don't care." Dagger whispered back as the crescent on her face still glowed. "What if it's true? What if the head bastard, Cooperman, really did plan this? That means we happened to us and what we lost is because of him."

"I know. I know. I'm as shocked as you with all this. But right now, these are 'What ifs' and not the actual 'whats'." Cloak stated. "We can talk more about this later. For now, please stay calm. Any more anger, and you might reveal something that will lead to your identity."

Knowing her partner was right, Dagger closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Once she did that, her crescent stopped glowing.

"Okay." Dagger said calmly.

Cloak then teleported them back to the cards facing the mayor and Bogo again.

"I'm sorry about that outburst. It's something about injustice that ticks me off." Dagger stated.

"It's fine. Bogo's the same way." Lionheart stated. "Anyway, whether this is all true or not, we can't ignore the fact the Zootopia is getting more and more dangerous. We can't just keep things the way they are." Lionheart continued to talk as he looked at both heroes. "It would be a lie to say that the city isn't safer thanks to your actions."

"But..." Cloak and Dagger went expecting a but.

"But... as Bogo may have stated to you one or two times, some of the things you two do isn't exactly... 'legal'." Lionheart stated with air quotes when he said legal. "That's why... I made this."

Lionheart then took out a paper and put it in front of Cloak and Dagger's view on the desk. Cloak and Dagger looked at the paper and it was titled Superhero Initiative.

"Superhero Initiative?" Cloak and Dagger said looking at the paper.

"Simply put, this is to pass a new law that allows Superheroes, like yourself, to do whatever you can to protect citizens... at a certain level." Lionheart stated.

Cloak then took the paper and he and Dagger started reading it. They skimmed parts of it for a few seconds.

"Basically, this is allowing us to still be superheroes while also allowing others like us to do the same." Dagger said.

"But also making restrictions for mammals that use their powers for wrongdoing." Cloak added.

"Like I say in most of my speeches, the world is changing every day. If we don't change with it, it might lead to our downfall. We can't ignore that there might be higher powers out there in the world, let alone our city. We all need to do whatever we can to keep it safe. That's why I want you two to be the headers and sign this." Lionheart told them. "So, what do you say?"

Both Cloak and Dagger were hit with a lot of information. They couldn't just give a straight answer. Then needed more time to think.

"Dagger and I need to discuss all this." Cloak said as he jumped from the chair. "Give us a few minutes."

"Of course." Lionheart said being understanding.

"Come on, Dagger." Cloak said calling his partner over.

Dagger nodding and jumped off from the chair. As she goes over to her partner, Cloak wraps part of his cloak around her waist and the two teleport out of the mayor's office. The two then reappeared at their abandon church sanctuary. Once there, Cloak took off his hood, showing his Nick face. He was reviewing the paper a bit more.

"Most of this seems legit." Nick stated.

"Yeah. But it's still so much to process." Dagger said while getting a dagger out and changing her face to her Judy face.

"The Superhero Initiative or..." Nick asked.

"All of it, Nick." Judy stated. "The oil rig explosion that gave us these powers, them activating a few months ago, finding out we're this Divine Pairing, and now there might be a chance that explosion was ON PURPOSE?!"

"We don't know that yet." Nick stated.

"But it makes sense!" Judy shouted out. "It all adds up. Cooperman wanting to dig up the Lightforce and Darkforce energy for himself. Whether it to boost his profits... or..."

"To have the powers that we have." Nick added.

"That night wasn't just horrible for us, but others too. My dad took the blame and he may not have known anything about this. People died because of that night." Judy said. "Nick, if Cooperman actually meant to do this for his own needs, then..."

"Judy, as of now, we still only have assumptions. When we get all the facts, we do what we always do and handle it." Nick said.

Judy knew Nick had a point. They only had assumptions and nothing was really confirmed yet. So they shouldn't act just yet.

"Nick, if Roxxon really did knew they were digging for powerful forces and didn't get what we have... then..." Judy said.

"There might be a chance that they will try again." Nick added. "Maybe that will be the Unnatural Disaster that Auntie was talking about."

"So our destiny might be stopping Roxxon from doing that again.." Judy said.

"The pieces do seem to fit more and more." Nick said with his paw on his chin. "What do you think, Judy?"

"I was ready to take on our destiny before. But if taking on Roxxon and Cooperman a part of it..." Judy said before summoning up a dagger and holding it up. "... then it will makes this all the sweeter." She then put away her dagger. "So, what do you make of Lionheart? Can't we trust him?"

"We definitely have to keep tabs on him. He knows a lot and he may know more than what he's told us." Nick stated. "However, I don't think he's an enemy. Let's trust him for now."

"Okay. Now, what about that?" Judy said pointing at the paper.

"Well, with this, we can keep doing our superhero stuff without having to worry about authorities. Plus." Nick said. "Bogo will complain, but can't do anything about it. Plus." Nick said that with a smirk. "However..."

"However?" Judy said curiously about where Nick was going with that.

"... There's no real benefit for us." Nick stated.

"What do you mean?" Judy asked.

"I mean, it basically just allows us to do what we already do." Nick said. "Even if we sign this, there will be no chances for us. Just that our actions will be more legal. No rewards or anything."

"Nick, are heroes not suppose to be in it for rewards?" Judy asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. But still, Carrots, this is the mayor we are talking about. Like I told you, he's currently the most powerful mammal in Zootopia and he also wants us to sign this." Nick stated.

"Yeah. And?" Judy asked.

"This could be a good way to also get what we want." Nick said with a smirk.

"Hmm. Go on." Judy said listening to Nick.

After a few minutes of discussing everything, Nick and Judy went back to being Cloak and Dagger and teleports back to the Mayor's office.

"We're back." Cloak said walking forward with Dagger.

"So you are. Have you come up with a decision?" Lionheart asked.

"We did," Dagger said as she and Cloak sit back on their chairs. "And while the Superhero Initiative is a good idea, there's no real benefit for us signing it."

"What?" Lionheart asked.

"Mayor, not signing this contract won't stop us from doing what we do. We don't see a real reason to sign this..." Cloak stated before smirking. "... unless..."

"Unless you gain something from it." Bogo said.

"Yep." Cloak said.

"I knew it. You're only in this because you want something. Mayor, you don't have to give them anything." Bogo said firmly.

"Now now." Lionheart said halting Bogo. "I want to hear them out."

"As Bogo said, we want something in return. We may be heroes, but that doesn't mean we don't want something in return every once in a while. "Cloak stated.

"So what do you want? Money?" Bogo asked.

"Unlike you, our heroism's for free. So no, we don't want money." Cloak said.

"Cloak and I each have a request to make. If you can do our requests, then we will consider signing. If not, then we won't. You can even have Bogo mark us on some of the things that we do that doesn't follow the 'law'. But... if he were to, let's say, arrest us for saving someone, then that maaaaaay not look good for you, Mr. Mayor. Especially since you are trying to run for re-election." Dagger stated with a sly grin.

"I mean, the choice is up to you, Mayor Lionheart." Cloak said shrugging.

Cloak and Dagger have both always had a sly and sneaky side as Nick and Judy. Knowing how to blend the rules a bit to their will. Bogo didn't seem happy about it, but Lionheart laughs heartfully.

"See, that's what I like about you two." Lionheart said with a smile. "Very well. What is your request? Depending on what it is, I may or may not do it."

Cloak and Dagger then looked back at each other and smiled. Now they had to make their requests.

"First, my request." Dagger said speaking first. "We actually already started investigating Roxxon for a while now. If what you say is true, we need to learn more. I want as much information as we can on Roxxon and the night the oil rig exploded. The people that work for them, the people that died, the original design plans, anything at all."

"A mighty big request." Lionheart said. "While I understand why you want to investigate Roxxon, we can't just simply send people over there to get information for you."

"If Roxxon really was intending to obtain this... Lightforce and Darkforce energy and people starting investigating them with things they didn't want the public to know, they might do what they can to 'cover their tracks'." Bogo stated.

"Right..." Dagger said with droopy ears.

Bogo had a point. As much as Judy wanted to get all she could, she wasn't going to risk the lives of others to do it.

"However..." Lionheart added that got her attention again. "... I do believe I have a few old contacts that know a bit about that night. As well as the ZPD having a few records. Anything else we can get, we'll let you know. Will that do?"

"That will suffice." Dagger said while nodding. "Thank you."

"Now Cloak, what's your request?" Lionheart asked.

"First off, this contract allows us to also assist and get assisted by the ZPD, right?" Cloak asked.

"Yes." Lionheart said.

"Knowing that, that's not my request." Cloak said. "Second, officers that work with us in certain ways won't get fired by Bogo, correct?"

"Yes." Lionheart answered. Bogo grunted.

"With that said, that's also not my request." Cloak said.

"Oh for the love of god! What is your request already?!" Bogo said losing his patience.

"Alright." Cloak said getting serious. "I would personally like access to certain ZPD records. As well as the backgrounds of most of the ZPD officers."

"What? That's classified ZPD information that you are talking about." Bogo stated. "Why should we trust you with such information?"

"Two reasons. 1.) The Police Department has been a joke. Crimes going unjust, criminals getting away with crap, and innocent people taking the fall for crimes they didn't commit. All of those problems are probably on your ass. So, if Dagger and I handle some of these problems, it would probably take your ass out of the fire." Cloak stated Bogo.

"Grrrr..." Bogo growled. "What's the second reason?"

"It's no secret that for some people, power corrupts. I believe that there might be one, if not more, corrupted officers in your precinct and uses their badges to work above the law." Cloak stated.

"My officers, corrupted? I know many of my officers personally. I find that hard to..." Bogo said.

"The more you deny it, the harder it would be when you realize you were wrong." Cloak stated firmly. "Believe me or not, I know one of your officers isn't a good guy. I'm just trying to..."

"Save my ass? It doesn't need saving." Bogo stated firmly.

"Not yet, anyway." Cloak muttered.

"So those are your two requests?" Lionheart asked.

"Uh huh. Do those and we will sign." Dagger said.

"I can agree to Dagger's request, but Cloak's request is up to Bogo." Lionheart said.

"*sigh* My words and opinions don't really matter when it comes to the city or the mayor, does it?" Bogo asked. "Fine."

Cloak and Dagger then smiled cause this meant they both can get what they need. Dagger, hoping to get more info on Roxxon to better her chances to get her revenge and Cloak, hoping to get enough on O'Clawdon and put him behind bars and get justice for David.

"Then I guess we have a deal." Cloak said.

"Splendid." Lionheart said looking happy. He then took a pen out. "Just sign right here."

"No need for the pen." Dagger said with a paw up.

"Watch." Cloak said.

Cloak then held his paw up and his shadows went to the paper and then formed a print on the paper that said his name in black on the line for his signature. Dagger summon a dagger and tapped it on the paper and her name formed on the line near Cloak's.

"There." Dagger said with a smile.

"Impressive." Lionheart said.

"You know we got lots of tricks." Dagger said as her dagger vanish.

"Now, I do whatever I can to do my part for our deal." Lionheart said.

"Okay then." Cloak said as he stood up from the chair and dropped down to the ground. Dagger did the same. "If that's all, we'll take our leave now."

"Hold it." Bogo said halting the two. "I'll see you two off."

"Of course you will." Both Cloak and Dagger said not sounding too surprised.

"Cloak, Dagger, I'm sure we will meet again real soon." Lionheart said.

"I'm sure of that." Dagger replied.

Cloak and Dagger then walked out with Bogo. After they all left the office they stood away from the door and stopped and stared at each other. Cloak and Dagger both knew that Bogo wanted to talk with them.

"Knowing you, you have a few choice words for us." Dagger said.

"I do." Bogo replied.

"You're the one guy I don't expect to sugarcoat things. So how about giving us that straight-answer we expect to hear from you." Cloak said.

"Very well. I still don't trust either of you." Bogo stated firmly. "That fact that you have powers, the fact that you do whatever you want with them, the fact that you're a fox and bunny, and that fact that the mayor is willing to blend laws for you. I don't care if the city sees you as heroes, you're still vigilantes to me. You can do as you please, for now. But I'm keeping my eyes, ears, and horns, on both of you." Bogo then glared at only Cloak. "Especially you, fox! If you do anything above the law that gives me a reason to lock you up, I'll take it and keep you both tight in a special cell for the rest of your days."

"Wow. You really don't sugarcoat it. So... I won't do the same." Cloak said to Bogo. He wrapped his shadows around Bogo and pulled him down to his level. Cloak then grabbed onto the collar of Bogo's uniform and glared at him with a threatening look and deepened voice. "Listen to me, asshole! We don't care who you are either. You don't have to like us cause, sure as hell, we don't like you. Think what you want, we're actually the good guys. Including me, the fox of darkness. All we care about is looking after the city and protecting the public, just like the ZPD. But we do things our way. You want to put us in a cell for that, good luck. Between my teleportation and Dagger's blades that can cut through anything, there's not a cell that can hold us. You're not the boss of us. So stop acting like you own us and step off."

As Cloak continues to angrily glare at Cloak, Bogo started to feel something. Fear. His body was trembling all over. When he could compare himself to Cloak, Bogo believed that he was the stronger one because of his size. But after feeling the grip of Cloak's shadows and being giving the glare as if he was being glared by the devil, he knew he couldn't even compare himself to him. He felt... weaker than he has ever felt.

"Cloak, I think you made your point." Dagger said wanting her partner to let go of Bogo.

Cloak decided to let go of his anger and let go of Bogo. He couldn't get himself to get up. He hyperventilated as he tried to regain his composure. Cloak then walked over to Dagger.

"Here. Let me ease your anger a bit." Dagger said with her paws glowing and letting her light to calm Cloak down a bit. She then looked at Bogo. "Sorry about that. But you did set my partner off. So I think it's best if you do this." As Dagger glared at Bogo with the crescent on her face glowing. "Don't ever threaten us again."

With that said, Cloak then wrapped his cloak around Dagger and the two vanished. Leaving Bogo only with the newfound fear that Cloak and Dagger have bestowed on him. Cloak and Dagger made it back to the church. Cloak took off his hood and Dagger summoned a dagger to change her face again. Judy was looking pretty at Nick for that stunt he just pulled.

"Nick, what the hell was that?" Judy asked irritated.

"I know. I know. I went a little too far with that." Nick admitted as he rubs the sides of his head.

"Look, I don't like Bogo as much as the next person. But what was up with that?" Judy asked. "It's like your anger is different than it usually is."

"What? You want the truth?" Nick asked.

"Please." Judy said.

"Okay." Nick said sounding sincere.

Nick took off his cloak and vanished it with his shadows. Judy changed back into her normal clothes. Nick then sat on one of the benches as he looks at Judy.

"There are two people on the top of my hate list. You know the first person and you can already guess the second person." Nick stated.

"Assuming O'Clawdon is #1 on that list, that would mean... Bogo is #2." Judy replied.

Nick nodded. "When I was a kid, the night we went to report about David's death, Bogo was there. He straight up told me that there was no officer fitting O'Clawdon's description, and yet O'Clawdon is a part that squad now. But it wasn't just the phony report. It was the fact that he saw a couple of foxes and automatically thought the worst. But the worst part is, because I was caught on camera trying to steal that radio, I can't back what I said up because of the video." Nick stated. "But that's not the thing only thing. For months, Bogo has been on us for just doing what he thinks is right. He's only mad because he can't deal with the fact we are doing a better job than him and not follow his rules. He's just... so..."

"Stubborn?" Judy said.

"Understatement of the decade." Nick said to Judy.

Judy then sat beside Nick.

"It sounds like to me that you hated Bogo almost as long as you hated O'Clawdon." Judy stated.

"Maybe you're right. I knew both of them around the same time. One killed my brother and the other is blinded by his own sense of justice." Nick stated.

"Listen Nick, Bogo isn't the bad guy. He's a bit of a dick and a pain in the ass, but he's not a bad guy." Judy said.

"With his attitude, he's not a good guy either." Nick stated.

"With what you said and did to him, were you?" Judy asked.

"No." Nick admitted.

"Nicky, Bogo's gonna say what he's gonna say. We just can't let it get to us." Judy said sincerely. "What matters is that we know what we are doing is right. Stick with being the hero you are. And remember, you're not alone. You'll always have to count on."

"Thanks, Carrots." Nick said with a smile.

Judy then took out her phone.

"Wanna watch the video I recorded when your Darkforce powers blasted back Bogo?" Judy asked with a grin.

"Yes, please." Nick said smiling.

Judy played the video and like what happened at the time, Bogo tried to take off Cloak's hoodie and was pushed away by the dark powers and fell to the ground. Nick and Judy then laughed.

"It's even funnier the second time." Judy said still laughing.

"Send me that later." Nick said grinning widely.

Judy then put her phone back up. "All laughter aside, thanks to our deal with the mayor, we are one step closer to getting what we want." Judy told Nick.

"With the info you can get on Roxxon, you can get more dirt on Cooperman and find out what really happened that day. And with Bogo being able to give me info on the officers in his squad, I can get more on O'Clawdon." Nick said.

"Then Nick, I think it's time we start getting ready to make our move." Judy said to Nick.

"Right. Time to get back to the main reason we have chosen to become superheroes. To get our revenge and justice to those we have lost." Nick said looking serious.

"Time to make our move. I'm ready." Judy said looking determined.

"Me too." Nick said looking as determined as Judy.

Cloak and Dagger Day may be over, but Nick and Judy were only going to rise up more and more. Whatever it takes for their revenge.
