Chapter Text
Yeah so... He's so screwed right how. There is currently a villain RIGHT infront of him. What was he even supposed to do in this situation?!
He works at a run down cafe, most people would never work there. but he's not most people. Especially since was an angel. A seraphim to be specific.
He was tasked to go down earth when his peers told him to complete a task. A task to track human behavior and attitude around other people. He was allowed to guide only one person to the path of goodwill, and he had to contact the aether, his home dimension, every weekend.
Now this was no easy task, just because he was an angel does not mean he wasn't being targetted. This is why he works at a ugly cafe! No one would try to find him in a cafe of all places! Especially since their kind was seen as all heavenly and stuff like that, it just wouldn't match.
Back to the situation however.
Egg was CRASHING OUT. Because what do you mean the City's strongest (or second strongest?) was right infront of him right now?? He is actually so cooked. He's sweating bullets, like genuinely.
Okay, relax Eggchan, its JUST the strongest villain in the city, nothing to worry about.. He's an angel for aether's sake! He can't die! Well i mean, there's only one thing that could counter him but thats only ONE.
"Welcome to— Un— unstable Cafe! Wh-what would you like to order?" Eggchan stuttered as he spoke massive aura loss.. He cringed internally, bashing his head into the wall right now.
"uh??-A iced macchiato.. please." The villain spoke, holding his side as he said that
"Oh— yes, no problem, that will beee..." Egg imputed the order in the register, waiting for the numbers that will appear after he imputed the order "uh... 3.90 please!"
"Yeah sure okay." The villain grabbed a handful of cash, and handed it over, "keep the change."
"Holy- uh— thank you— can I get a name for that order?" He cringed, who would even SAY that?
Seriously? Asking a city-wide know villain for his name?? When he's already so popular? He was on the news for aether's sake!
"Do you live under a rock?" He deadpanned, staring at eggchan weird.
"I'm sorry?" Eggchan tried to play it off nonchalantly.. Spoiler alert, he lost so much aura..
He sighed, and just decided to answer, "Gambit." He said in a monotone voice.
"Oh yes- okay, your order will come soon!" He immediately said as he scurried over to the deeper parts of the cafe.
While making the coffee, his hands were shaking. Gambit, the literal strongest or second strongest in Capital City, is ACTUALLY in the cafe RIGHT NOW. LIKE is holy Aeth—
His hands were still shakey as he put coffee ingredients in, making the water hot, getting the milk, the ice, all contents accounted for
"Order for Gambit! He said out of habit, even if he was one of the two people in the cafe right now
"bro it's just the both of us that is in here" Gambit laughed a little, his laugh sounding like the feeling of a royal laughing at a peasant, his laugh was deep and both eyebrows furrowed as he doubled down laughing (a bit exaggerated huh?)
"bro shut up im just used to it okay??" Eggchan snapped playfully, acting like he isn't TALKING to a villain of all people..
Eggchan saw the absolute horrid state gambit was in, blood everywhere (rip floor and mop), and leaning on one leg, like he's just a barista, he need to help! (and also fate was calling hin)
"Do you need a medkit..?" Eggchan asked trying not to trigger Gambit right now, he really doesn't want to blow his cover right now,
And you might be wondering, "Eggchan, what do you mean blow your cover??" well, to answer your question, since he's an angel and a very high ranking angel, being a seraphim, he has to be in a disguise to escape THOSE people who basically HARRASS him.
And anyways, their feeble minds can't even comprehend the true form of an angel, even more a serephim!
Anywho, back to the current situation and a quick recap, Eggchan offered gambit a medkit.
"Uhhh... Sure..." Gambit cautiously said as he eyed Eggchan with a raised eyebrow.
Eggchan lead him to the break room, getting a dusty medikit from nearby shelf, as he passed the kit over to Gambit "If you're going to leave soon, you should leave out the back door."
"What? You want me to leave already?" Gambit whined sarcastically, taking a sip of his coffee— "Holy delicious drink.." He muttered as he stared at the coffee like it was the king.
"Here you go." Eggchan said nonchalantly, handing over the medkit over to the very fascinated villain who's literally leaning on a wall right now.
"Soo.. Why haven't 'cha—" insert slurping sounds "Why haven't you called the hero commission yet?"
"Do you want me to?" Eggchan asked, raising an eyebrow, chuckling softly as he muttered the words
Gambit giggled slightly, "Heh.. You're funny" he smiled, a rare instance, even he couldn't believe it, his smile faltering for a second
"Am I really?" Eggchan answered with a certain curiosity, surprising himself with how true he asked that
"Yeah, I'll be back" Gambit promised, going out the back door, holding his drink on the way out.
"huh.." Eggonan muttered 5 mins later after Gambit left throughout the back door, he just payed 200 dollars just for a 3.90 dollar coffee-he even complimented the coffee! he really IS the best barista in this city huh... Okay whatever he just got 196.10 dollars in profit-he IS NOT putting that in the regrister.
yes he is an angel,
yes he is heavenly,
yes he is POOR.
"Wait eggchan is poor? But nes an angel and blah blah blah" yes he's BROKE. He has a cover, he's going to be the center of attention if he was rich, and he does NOT want that to happen.
Anyways, he wiped the counter down, mopped the floor, mopped the floor MORE, and closed up the shop.. Maybe being a barista wasn't too bad..
