Hero In Need of Saving- 3

Previous -- Masterlist -- Next

The three days that followed were bliss, Xen did whatever he wanted, which turned into a hell of a lot of sleeping. He ate randomly, not too worried about Em's warnings right now, and the soup was gone by dinner the third day.

Even the fourth day into the storm, it was light, but his agency told him to stay inside until it was gone. "ALL THE WAY GONE." was the last text he got from the team's medic. Though it did make him worry about what Em would say. Sure he had a valid excuse, but that might not matter to her.

So about midday he strapped into his gear, grabbing the jacket made for him and sent Em a text to let her know he was on the field. He kept the gear lose around his shoulder and thigh, where the injuries were still healing, but otherwise felt fine. Felt great if it weren't for the constant nagging worry of what Em may do today.

Em replied with a thumbs up emoji before sending him the address for the first job she wanted him to handle. "Tree fell over, handle it please."

Xen sighed and got on the move. The job was on the other side of town. Of course it was. He'd probably be ran around all day if Em deemed it so. She was probably too busy to come mess with him herself.

The rest of the day did continue like that. He'd finish a job and then get sent across town to do something else. He didn't even get much a break to regain any stamina after burning through a bunch of stuff to help out. Though he didn't say shit about feeling tired or complain about the work.

At least, up until the point someone slammed him out of sky while he was running along buildings. He caught himself on a ledge, his shoulder screaming as he slowly dropped himself to the ground. "Fucking hell of course-" He rubbed his shoulder and looked around.

A familiar face grinned from the shadows. "Aww, poor hero boy~ Thrown from his safety~" Wardog cackled from the safety of the shadows.

Xen rolled his eyes, flames dancing up his arms as he went for the villain. "Get your ass over here so I can take it to jail!" He snapped. He was so not in the mood.

"You just wanna see me all tied up for you dont you?" Wardog ran out of the way, shadows reaching out to stop Xen. One wrapped itself close to that shoulder he'd seen Xen rubbing. "Come on Xeno, just admit it~"

Xen lunged again, growling. He let out a cry when that shadow dug into his shoulder, slammed back by a hard kick to the chest. "Go to hell." He spit out, trying to grab ahold of Wardog again. He ignored the growing pain in his shoulder.

"Already there baby~" Wardog laughed and danced away again. He put his hands behind his back. "You know what, kiss me and you can do whatever you want with me."

Xen punched him across the cheek instead. "Can it, I'll kiss you when hell freezes over." He went for the capture, only for something to jerk him back, holding him to the wall. He went feral, kicking out and snarling. "LET ME GO!"

Wardog rubbed his cheek, a pout on his lips. "Xeno, that hurt~" He whined. The shadows he held started tightening, specifically around Xen's throat. "All I wanted was a kiss~"

Xen clawed at the shadows, flames igniting at his fingers as he tried to rid the area of any darkness. He kicked out when Wardog got close, thrashing like his life depended on it, mostly because it did. Another shadow wrapped itself around Xen's waist to limit the thrashing.

Wardog peered up at Xen, tapping his chin. "Hmm, what to do with you?" He gave a cheeky grin before the shadows tightened more. "Maybeeeeee~ this!"

Xen was confused for a moment, until he felt the shadows fall away. He coughed hard as he tried to suck in some air. He glared at Wardog while trying to recover.

Wardog flicked his wrist and a solid box of shadows wrapped around Xen, throwing him into the nearest building.

While he was relieved it wasn't bricks he hit, glass wasn't much better as glass dug into Xen's sides. He pushed himself up though, shaking it off and charging out again.

Wardog clicked his tounge. "Poor baby never learns."

Something dropped on Xen, but he didn't have time to find out as everything blacked out for him. The faint sound of Em yelling sounding off somewhere outside his skull. Who knows what would happen now, he was exposed, weaponless, and unable to fight.
