Chapter Text
“SMALL FIRE! I SAID TO START A SMALL FIRE! THIS IS NOT A SMALL FIRE!” Damion yelled over the roaring flames that surrounded the twins. They were huddled together in an office, they had planned to assassin one of their mothers' diplomats, to protect this au of course. “ GO BIG OR GO HOME. “ Night shouted back. They were right next to each other, but you couldn’t tell. “Let’s just kill him and leave…” Damion sighed.
“WHAT?!” “I SAID LETS KILL HIM AND GET OUT OF HERE!” “OH OK!” Night shot up and kicked the door in running out ignoring the flames and smoke surrounding them. “NIGHT DAMN IT NO!” Damion shouted scrambling after his careless other half. Damion thankfully was able to catch up quickly due to Night coughing a lung up. Her blood did put out a little bit of fire.
“NIGHT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!” He shouted pouring an elixir down her throat. “S-sorry! But look!” She pointed at the man in the ungodly ugly yellow uniform. “Nice job !” A white glow comes from his hands. As a rope apereaded he lassoed the running man and pulled him over where his sister had her sword ready.
She made a clean slice and his head went rolling. Blood spatter everywhere landing on his white suit and her blue cloak. Damion frowns deeply. This was a nice suit, but it was his fault. “Let’s go! “ a loud explosion sound came from underneath. Damion looked at his guilty sister with a pissed off expression. “YOU BROUGHT BOMBS?!”
“NEVER MIND THAT RUN!” His guilt twin shouted, bolting up the stairs to the roof. “HOW MANY AND WHAT KIND?!” “A TON AND MY OWN !” Night picklocked a helicopter and rushed inside. Damion, the usual voice of logic and reason, did not have time to think it through and joined her inside.
Night was hot wiring it making him think she knew what she was doing. NOPE. As he now found himself completely to a mad woman’s mercy. She kept pushing random buttons and laughing. They had almost crashed into about 14 buildings and had gone down a total of 24 times.
“DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FLY THIS THING?!” Night rolled her eyes “of course-“ she seversid to avoid the 15th. Damion gave her a ‘really’ look. “Ok normally I’d lie and say yes but seeing as I almost flew us into that building, I’m going to assume you know that answer.” Night admitted.
“This is how we are going to die…” Damion muttered loudly. “Hey! Have a little faith in me little brother!~” she teased. “One you are older by 5 minutes and second, A LITTLE FAITH HAS LONG WORN OUT “ he shouted. “Chill~ I haven’t crashed us yet” “Thank god! You know I probably will fear heights for the rest of my life?!”
“Your welcome ~” night sang out. “I hate you ~” he sang back. She chuckled before they jerked forward “SHIT MOM SENT BACKUP!” Night cussed. He gulped “welp we are going to be caught!” “OH HELL NO! I am not going back to that awful woman!!” Night growls trying to shake them. “You can barely fly this?!”
A single idea flashed into their mind. A grin grew upon her face. “NIGHT NO!” Damion shrieked. Night flew toward a barely populated area. She started laughing hysterically. Damion shirked francirtly . “THIS IS A TERRIBLE PLAN!” Damion shouted. “THIS IS A FANTASTIC PLAN YOU JUST HAVE A TERRIBLE ATTITUDE!” She shrilled.
They went crashing into the ground. A loud ringing came into his ears. He looked over to his sister. Her legs were snapped and spine in a terrible way. Her left arm was bent oddly. His arms were as well. One of his legs was broken. He managed to get over to her.
“NIGHT, DAMION!” a friendly voice called out. He looked up and saw Tac running toward them. “TAC !” He called out.
Tac rushed toward them . “Are you two ok?!” “Fuck….. no….” Damion groans “Shit we need to get out of here!” Tac cussed unsure of how to get them out of it. “HALT YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!” The subordinates shouted.
Tac pulled out his gun. “Fuck!” “Tac get close!” Damion ordered. Tac did as told. Damion made a shield around the group. “Be ready to fight for us” Damion whispered “I will gladly give my life.” He told him. Damion felt his face heat up.
Tac was tall and thin. He was raggic with shaggy yellow hair. Damion would be lying if he said he felt nothing for him. “You will be returning to the C.E.O” a subordinate said . “ pity but I think not” Damion coed.
“That was not a request.” Tac started to bandage up night . “How pray tell do you plan on that ? We are far stronger than you. Tac here has killed quite a lot of you . Quite well if I might add. We have destroyed this city and are no where close to dying. So if you wish to lose more coworkers please make your attempt” he smirks.
They hesitate but press onwards. “With my dear other half knocked out I am twice as deadly. You do not want to find out what I do to those who harm my twin.” He warned darkly. Tac had his gun ready.
A few backed up “HE’S BLUFFING!” One shouted. This caused Damion to laugh. He let out a deep hardy laugh as amused tears fell from his eyes. This caused many back up. Tac grips onto him.
Damion pulled up the statistics;
Explosion: 80%
Death :20%
Escape: 30%
Damion smirks. This would work nicely. “Do I look like I’m bluffing?~ If so ask Alamedad severed body parts-if you can find them. Ask the bent man. Ask the wailers. Hell, ask the CEO, if I take unnecessary risks with my twin. My mother will tell you no . We are blood. Her blood is mine. Our life is bound together more than you will ever understand.
I will burn the multiverse if she asks. I’d shatter every bone in my body if it would heal her. I have toppled clivations for her pleasure and she I. There is no end to how far we will go for each other. There is no human world that can describe how we feel. She and I are two halves of a whole. So if you are willing to test me keep coming. Tac and night are under my protection. I am by far the more hot headed twin. I may be peace but I have no problem with extreme violence.”
Tac gaped at him. ‘It’s ok Tac I’ll protect you’ Damion promised himself. “Does she know?” A familiar voice asked, turning his blood to ice . Tac trembled behind him. “HELLO MOTHER “ he greeted with clenched teeth. The C.E.O toward over them. Her long white hair eloquently put up. She straightened her blue gown . “Damion how unkingly! I thought we taught you better!” She scolded.
Tac growls. His rage was alway his downfall. “DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT BEING A RULER! I’m not the one who abandoned my people for a war on DAD!” Damion growled. “still bitter I see~” . Tac lost it and ran at her charging. “TAC NO!” Damion shouted but it was too late . As soon as he left the bubble he was stopped in his tracks.
Tac’s face was twisted into one of horror. (Trigger warning it gets graph read with caution) His bones slowly folded in on themselves creating a choir of sickening cracks. Blood sprayed out like a giuser. He let out screams of pain and terror. His body continues to fold like oragomagoin. He shouted loudly.
He should be dead…. She was keeping him alive. There were cracks and slushing and sick plots . Finally he was flattened into a piece of paper. He let out one last scream tearing his throat then was allowed to die. Damion let out a horrified shout. (Triggered warning pass)
His mother who hadn’t lifted a single finger stared at Tac’s body disinterestedly. Then her gaze landed upon Damion. A slow amused expression crossed her face. “How much longer are you going to play this silly game?”
Damion said nothing in response. She sighed. “Children….. When are you going to come home?” She smiled sweetly. “NEVER! NOT WITH YOU, NOT WITH DAD!” Damion shouted tears falling from his eyes.
“So upset about what happened? It was for your own good….. How’s Nightingales illness?” She asked, stepping up on Tac. She smirks knowing that was a sore subject. Night’s illness had been getting worse. Damion couldn’t answer.
She smiled. “Night needs medical attention. We can treat her.. Let us help” she said temping Damion greatly. Thankfully he is saved by the explosion. It sends the ball that the twins are in flying. Damion grabbed Night with the best of his ability opening a portal underneath them to a hospital.
The next few moments are a blur as they are rushed to be treated. Darkness consumed his vision and he slipped into unconsciousness. Damion later awoke in a hospital room both arms and one of his legs in casts.
He painstakingly turned his head to see his sister in worse condition. She was still asleep . Tacs screams echo in his mind . He would go even more insane if she didn’t awake soon . The puppeteer had mercy and Night groans. “F-fuck!” She coughed.
“Try not to move. Your legs and arm are broken. Not to mention your spine was snapped in half. “ Damion managed to keep his voice steady. “Anything else?” “You have once again destroyed your ribs.” “New record!” Night laughed.
He sighed loudly. “How are you?” “Leg and both arms “ “ouch” “lucky we didn’t break our necks. “ Eh wouldn’t be so bad.” Night groans trying to sit up . “How long?” “Me a week…. you 3 weeks.” Night huffed. “Only because of your spine.” Night was silent.
“You know one of these days I’m going to pick up a normal hobby, like bowling.” Damion jokes, hoping to lighten the mood and keep her talking . Night laughed. “No you won’t! Too boring!” She jests
“Less destructive “ He shot back. “Me? Destructive?! I’m hurt! Oh I’ll forever cry myself to sleep for this injustice! Oh yes! You wound me!” She raved. He rolled his eyes. “You blew up half the city.” Night smirks, he can hear it in her voice “and I don’t regret a thing ~” she coed.
He sighed, shaking his head as well as he could. Night would continue to be Night. Nothing in heaven and hell could change that. He frowned and hesitantly asked, “How is your illness?” The playful energy dropped . After a few painful moments she answered, “Still hurts to breathe but I’m growing numb to it”
“Maybe we should go back.” He muttered thinking back onto earlier. Both knew there was no turning back but it was just a ponder. “NO DON’T YOU REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID?! “ Night shouts “SHE SLIT MY THROAT. SHE SCARRED YOUR FACE. SHE REMOVED YOUR TEAR DUCTS! She murdered Louisa ! She framed you!!” Night shouted, working herself up into a rampage.
“Woah woah woah! Chill! I remember ! I was just wondering out loud. After all your illness-“ She cut him off. “I would rather die!” Her tone is dark, warning. He knew she meant it. It was silent for a good while. Damion shifted uncomfortably. Night seems to notice her brother unease.
Night began to sing;
“Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, lai-lay”
Night’s voice was as sweet as an nightingales. Damion smiled listening. His eyes felt heavy. Only his sister’s voice could do this. Despite everything, he fell asleep.
