Light and Darkness

by missdoney

What would happen if some famous characters known for their troubled and dark minds plagued by their circumstances that led them on this path are faced with a mission that would make them join forces to prevent a disaster greater than themselves? With that, ten chosen for their peculiar abilities and eccentric personalities will embark on an adventure full of light and darkness.

5. The journey begins

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon ... They were all enjoying the banquet in the large kitchen, which had Renaissance paintings, a yellow and gray wall and a lavender scent mixed with the smells of food leaving them relaxed and excited for a while.

-This is certainly the best food I've eaten for years. - said Freya, enjoying the food.

-Frozen is what is not. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.

-Yes. - Freya said seriously.

-Did I say something wrong? - Said Harley Quinn worried.

-No its nothing. It's just that I ... I haven't seen that warm spirit in a while. I spent practically all these years alone and in the dark. It's a little difficult for me to deal with. - Freya said with a feeling of disbelief and loneliness.

-How cute! We can be friends! - Said Harley Quinn hugging her. -If you want of course.

-Yeah ... I can get used to it. - Freya said, giving a slight smile.

-How nice! I've never had a friend that powerful. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.

-Me neither. - Freya said slightly flattered. –This is Morgana. Morgana nudged lightly.

-Hi? - Morgana said surprised.

-More a beautiful witch and diva for my team! I'm Harleen, but you can call me Harley Quinn. - Said Harley Quinn extending his hand to greet her.

-"Diva"? Morgana said, slightly suspicious.

-Elegant, powerful, perfect. - Said Harley Quinn.

-She seems friendly or a strong ally. - Freya said in Morgana's ear.

-Nice to meet you. - Morgana said greeting and forcing a smile.

-Would you like to join us in a training for women? Just for fun? - said Freya.

-Type like me, plant and kitten? I'd love to. - Said Harley Quinn excited.

-Who are they? - Freya said confused.

-That's what I call my friends. - Said Harley Quinn.

-I guess. - Freya said laughing.

-You ... Are you good at body combat? Morgana said timidly.

-Me? In corporal, in firearms, baseball bat and etc. I also know how to do acrobatics, I was even one of the best gymnasts in my old school. - Harley Quinn said proudly.

-Women can? I mean ... Make this things just like men? - Morgana said surprised.

-Competition until they can, although many people do not see it with good eyes. - Said Harley Quinn disguising the melancholic tone of the voice. -But it does not matter.

-Impressive. - Morgana said surprised.

Meanwhile ... At the other end of the table ...

-So? How is it, sir? - said Darth Vader.

-What? Said Rumple.

-The deal. How is it? - said Darth Vader.

-Is there anything about death or bad things? Because I don't make that kind of deal anymore. Said Rumple.

-It depends. I wanted absolute protection for two people. Prevent anything from hurting them. Can it? - said Darth Vader.

-In that case you can. But why don't you do that? Not wanting to be inconvenient. Said Rumple, slightly curious.

-Yes, very inconvenient. But since you will carry out my order. It is because I made many mistakes in the past that I believe that my children will never be able to forgive me. - said Darth Vader regretfully.

-I understand. I know what that feeling is like. I also had a fight like that with my first son, Baelfire. We parted because of my darkness. Said Rumple.

-And what happened? - said Darth Vader curiously.

-When I met him again it was too late and I promised him as well as my late wife, Belle, that I would be a better man. And I'm getting inspired by that. - Rumple said with an emotional expression.

-It seems like my story. But then: could you? - said Darth Vader with a feeling of identification.

-Yes. But in return, you owe me some favor that I will be able to charge you when you are ready. Said Rumple.

-Closed. - said Darth Vader.

-And where's Gildeon? Not wanting to be nosy. - said Zelena.

-It is being and a lot. But in order not to look "annoying", he is doing a specialization to become a scientist. He's as smart as his mother. - Rumple said with a feeling of pride.

-At least better than you. - Zelena said laughing.

-And where's Robin? Not wanting to be inconvenient. Said Rumple.

-You know how it is ... When you grow up, you want to live your own adventures and get on with your life. It even looks like her father. - Zelena said slightly sad.

-At least better than you. - Rumple said laughing.

-Henry is the same thing. After he became a made man and started a family ... - said Regina.

-As well? - Zelena said surprised.

-Yes. Ella is pregnant and it looks like a girl. I would tell you when I could. How fast time passes. - said Regina, slightly moved.

- We agree on that. Said Rumple.

-I agree. If I could go back in time ... - said Darth Vader wistfully.

-I went back in time twice, although it ended up giving unpleasant consequences. - Zelena said with a laugh.

-Nothing at all. - said Regina with a serious look.

-Why did I have sex with your late boyfriend? - Zelena said laughing.

-That as far as I know is not a matter of speaking at the table. - Regina said seriously.

-I am just kidding. - Zelena said laughing.

Meanwhile ... At the other end of the table ...

-Do you also deal with loneliness better? - Phantom said slightly curious.

-Yes ... To better plan my plans. Said Magneto, apparently reflective.

-Me too. Said Phantom.

-May seem a little pessimistic, but I'm feeling that I need to prepare myself enough for something to come. It must be past experiences, I'm not sure. - said Magneto, slightly pessimistic.

-Life must not have been very easy for you, I believe. Said Phantom.

-Since I understand myself by people, no. Said Magneto, trying to hide his melancholy.

-I get it. - Said melancholy Phantom.

And so, both stayed in this silent and melancholic climate for a while, either by the scars of the past or the uncertainties of the future. Until Regina invited them to sit next to the other colleagues.

-Since we are all here on this mission, nothing better than introducing ourselves. Said Regina.

- Starting with you? - Said Harley Quinn.

-Or you, since I said it first. - Regina said with a friendly smile.

-Harleen Quinzel, but you can call me Harley Quinn. Many of you here must have met me. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.

- Hi, Harley. - Said Phantom, Magneto, Freya and Morgana.

-My name is Freya, better known as the "ice queen", or "witch", as you prefer. I hope to contribute as I can to this mission. - Freya said cordially.

-You really are a love! - Said Harley Quinn giving a friendly laugh.

-Hi, Freya. - Darth Vader said, discreetly waving at her.

-Hi, Anakin. - Freya said giving a polite laugh.

-My name is Morgana Le Fay, I'm a priestess of Avalon. I'm not much to talk about, I hope it's enough. Morgana said seriously.

- Over time you get used to it. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.

-But if you're focused on the mission, it's more than enough. We need focused people. Said Rumple.

-Thanks. Said Morgana.

-I agree with Gold. My name is Regina Mills, or Snow White's "Evil Queen". And before you ask, we are no longer enemies. Said Regina.

-What a diva! - Said Harley Quinn.

-I also don't understand people's appreciation for the dark side. - Regina said reflexively.

-Zelena Mills, Wicked Witch of the West. And unlike my sister, I even like to be mean from time to time ... If they threaten me or my family, of course. - Zelena said with an ironic laugh.

-I liked you. - Said Harley Quinn blinking.

-I'm Rumpeltiltskin, but my name could also be Gold, but you can call me Rumple if you think it's complicated. It's a long story. Said Rumple.

-Yes, we know. - said Regina and Zelena.

-I'm known as Darth Vader, my real name is Anakin Skywalker who has long since forgotten my name. - Darth said with a bittersweet feeling.

-I prefer Darth Vader, dangerous and intimidating. - said Zelena.

-Anakin seems more human to me. Said Regina.

-Skywalker is a show. - Said Harley Quinn.

-My name is Erik Dester, but my enemies know me by "Phantom of the Opera". - Phantom said timidly.

-For a "Phantom" you are very sexy. - Said Harley Quinn.

-Stop with it, please! - Phantom said timidly.

-I confess that if it were in other times I would even sleep with you. - Zelena said laughing.

-What? - Phantom said with a mixture of shyness and fright.

-They are making our colleague ashamed and we cannot make our colleagues uncomfortable. - Regina said seriously.

- Taking into account that I have heard something worse, this does not even seem so bad, although a little scary. - Phantom said without reaction.

-Erik Lehnsherr, known as "Magneto". Said Magneto.

-Of all you seem to be the most pessimistic. More cheer! - Said Harley Quinn.

-I agree with Quinzel. You should relax a little, I speak from experience. Said Regina.

-It is always when something good happens in my life, something bad comes later. It's always like that. Said Magneto sadly.

-It's life and we can't escape it. Said Regina, trying to comfort him.

-Thank you. Said Magneto, trying to appear friendly.

When everyone was going to toast the "second new chance", Loki appeared who decided to eat something and face the strangers strangers.

-And this is Loki, the god of cheating. - Said Harley Quinn pointing to Loki.

-Know. Said Regina dryly.

-Hi, Loki. - said everyone trying to appear friendly.

-I only came to eat because it is necessary, then Mrs. Goldstone said that she wants to talk to you about the mission. - said Loki sitting at the table.

With that, everyone took the opportunity to eat and prepare with all their strength for the beginning of the mission.

At 6:30 pm ... In the mansion's garage where there were two luxury cars and a motorcycle ...

-As Silverstone was saying: these jewels are spread over eight parts of the world in eight specific places, which according to this map the first one they will pick up is on the Hollywood sign. Said Goldstone, handing them the map.

-What more cliché, but elegant. - Said Harley Quinn.

-A question: if you know where you are, why didn't you do it yourself or choose someone in our place? - Magneto said confused.

-Good question. Said Regina.

-As Silverstone said: you of all the people between the worlds are the only ones who have the skills to stop you, not another person, just you. - said Goldstone, leaving everyone either confused, sometimes flattered, or both alternatives.

-I'm feeling like a hero now. - Zelena said slightly flattered.

-I'm feeling confused. - said Darth Vader confused and reflective.

-I don't know what to feel. Said Magneto with mixed feelings.

-And these gems, according to Silverstone, are causing problems in the places where they are located: be it causing horrible deaths or illnesses for those who dare to catch them or horrible social and psychological conflicts for the people around them. Announcing the apocalypse. - Goldstone said slightly worried. -You are the only hopes we have.

Upon hearing this, everyone was left with a small feeling of heroism surfacing within each one, despite the fear and conflicts they will have to face together for who knows, to improve their futures and the lives of those they love.

-These are the vehicles that will organize themselves to get around the city behind the jewel, as they can have a little fun or eat, because nobody is made of iron. Vehicles have GPS to guide them to the location. Goldstone said.

-All right. Said Regina.

-I want that bike! - Said Harley Quinn seeing a red Harley motorcycle.

-A Harley? - Zelena said with a laugh of irony.

-Who's better than an Harley driving another Harley? - Said Harley Quinn laughing. -Did anyone here love to ride horses?

-I ... I kind of rode a lot when I wanted to distract myself. Said Morgana.

-Then come here pretty. And don't be intimidated, it's like riding a horse, only faster. - Said Harley Quinn helping the intimidated Morgana to sit with her on the bike, with a little difficulty, but successful.

-I just hope to get out alive! Said Morgana, still afraid.

Meanwhile, Regina chose the dark blue car to drive with Zelena in the side seat (front) and Rumple with Darth Vader in the back seat.

-I could be driving, but that's okay. - said Darth Vader.

-Or me. - said Zelena.

-Only if you are going to kill us even before our mission. - Regina said seriously.

-As far as I know you, I believe in Regina. Said Rumple.

-Do not exaggerate. - said Zelena.

-Now put your belts on! - said Regina ordering.

Magneto, on the other hand, chose the dark purple car to drive with Freya in the next seat (front) and Loki with Phantom in the back seat.

-First: I ask you to put your belts on! - Magneto said ordering.

-As? - Said Phantom and Freya said.

-Not even me from Asgard. - said Loki, trying patiently to put his belts on his colleagues.

-Thanks. - Said Phantom and Freya.

-At least you seem less boring to me than that annoying queen. - Loki said in a bad mood.

-Are you at least kind to her? - said Freya.

-She wanted to give me orders! What did you expect? - Loki said slightly angry.

-I wasn't there, so I can't give an opinion. Said Phantom.

-Do you also not accept opinions that are different from yours? - said Freya alternating.

-Secondly: I want you to take your anger out on this mission and not among you, this is nothing professional. Said Magneto impatiently.

-I agree. - Freya and Loki said angrily.

-Great. Said Magneto.

Meanwhile ... On the bike with Harley Quinn and Morgana ...

-What sound is this? - Morgana said frightened by the sound of the motorcycle.

-Hold on to me! - Said Harley Quinn.

Morgana obviously held on to Harley Quinn even more with fear and insecurity.

It didn't take long until all the vehicles started to move, it left Goldstone slightly desperate as if he forgot to say something.

-Wait! I forgot to say something very important! I hope you are well! - Goldstone said slightly worried.
