Speeding along vertically up the Leon tower, untouched by the laws of gravity, the night belongs to creatures like them, superheroes and monsters.
Sometimes the line between superhero and monster is paper thin, often its just a choice of morality.
Atop the Leon tower; Nightknight in his evil black knight armor standing 2.15 meters tall, with a cape like a vampire and an empty sheath belonging to his sword that has run away from home. Brightman in his white angelic knight armor standing 2.1 meters tall, with a cape like heavenly white cloth that disappears the moment he unfurls his six angel wings.
Looking down on the rest of the Farlong city in silence, enjoying the tranquility before their work, this is the time for monsters and those that fight them.
(Brightman:)”Have you gotten faster?” (Nightknight:)”Maybe a little.” Spoken with the voices of Nightknight and Brightman, not the voices of Chad and David.
Brightman having noticed how much quicker Nightknight scaled this building than before and how effortlessly it seemed.
It did not look like he used the spells he usually uses, these new spells of his are much more subtle and difficult to notice.
They sprint and jump of the building, flying and gliding to their destination, Brightman observes the changes to Nightknight’s magic.
Passing through the fog, shadowy silhouettes flashing past windows, stepping on roofs and moving with ninja like precision.
Stopping like gargoyles perched on roof tops, finding some troublemakers, three young muggers stealing from some frightened man.
Nightknight appears behind the muggers with phantom like movements, the man notices and looks relieved.
The muggers noticing his relief turn around slowly, seeing Nightknight standing behind them they visibly tremble in fear.
(Nightknight:)”I worked myself to death yesterday, could you guys let me a rest, my shoulders still feels stiff and stressed.
If you need food and water I think Brightman does some miracle to create food and water at the local soup kitchens.” He says not really wanting to beat up weaklings.
(Mugger1:)”We won’t cause no problems for you Nightknight… sir.”
(Mugger2:)”We are just jaded with the futility of our actions, anybody causing problems in a place protected by superheroes probably have a death wish.”
(Mugger3:)”Fuck off Tom, no more sophistry, you may have lived long enough but I have not!”
(Mugger1:)”Shut up Tom, shit do you even know who you are talking to, you dog shit! Sorry Nightknight… sir.”
Looking at these silly muggers Nightknight smiles, before he does a super quick punch for each of the muggers and they fall to the ground in pain.
(Nightknight:)”That was a quick lesson on pain, please do not bother more people and Tom fix your suicidal tendencies.
I will not throw you guys in jail as that is wasting the space in jail and you mister victim in all this what do you think?”
(Victim:)”I am happy to be saved, but could I get a photo together?”
After taking a selfie with the fan/victim the victim leaves to continue on his way and the muggers lie in pain in the back alley.
Not crippled or hurt in anyway, because that would be hospital bills they may not afford pushing them further into crime, which Nightknight will not accept.
Nightknight flies up onto the building that Brightman have been waiting at, not bothering to help Nightknight deal with weaklings.
(Brightman:)”Do you get stronger from danger or chaos, are you a main character? You seem stronger than yesterday.”
(Nightknight:)”Did not think you would notice and most people grow through hardships, I just grow a little more.”
(Brightman:)”It is super obvious that you are stronger, you feel more confidant and stable.”
(Nightknight:)”Keep on bragging about your perceptiveness, you also seem much stronger and more confidant, you grew from hardships just like me.”
(Brightman:)”Are you blind, I am way less confidant than before, stronger maybe but not more confidant.”
(Nightknight:)”You know my senses are better than yours, of course you are more confidant than before, because I said so.”
(Brightman:)”If only “because I said so” actually meant something in arguments, then you could actually win.”
(Nightknight:)”It is not even an argument, just spitting facts. You can’t even argue against facts.”
(Brightman:)”I think an incredibly large portion of humans on earth would dispute that, they can definitely argue against facts.”
The arguments between the super friends continue for the rest of the night.
