A Night Out

It's been almost a month since I summoned Umbra and all I can say is he's pretty chill. As long as I'm around or he can feel my location he doesn't do much, I mean besides being super defensive about me. He's like a my silent shadow always there and always silent.

Besides summoning him there hasn't been much going on besides a slight increase in crime and what not. Not surprising due to it nearing the start of the MCU.

Right now Sebas is driving me to start my first day at Midtown High.

Arriving at Midtown High as we pull to the drop off area Sebas steps out and opens my door. He hands me the rest of the papers I needed for registration.

Sebas gives me a respectful bow. "Have a productive Lady Alyss"

"Thank you Sebas."

Making it inside to the front office I complete my registration and head to my assigned class. Walking in I look around I can see I am early. While waiting I pull out my phone to pass the time.

"Is this seat taken?"

Looking up I see messy brown hair and dark chocolate like eyes.'Spiderman? He kinda looks like a blend of Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland.'

Gesturing to the seat. "No, it's not taken."

I held my hand out. "Alyss Validus."

"Peter Parker, nice to meet you."

Peter and I continued talking for about 15 minutes before the class started filling in. Class started and I look around recognizing some other people.

Gwen Stacy looks a lot like Emma Stone. While Flash looks like a body double of his movie counter part from Amazing Spider-Man.

At lunch I sat with Peter and Gwen. Apparently they knew each other since childhood. As I got to know them I had to remind myself they are far different from their movie counterparts. Although Gwen looked like Emma Stone she seemed more rebellious than her movie counterpart.

When lunch had ended we all head back to class. The day went on as the teacher went over about what were expected of the class. Eventually the day ended and I headed home.

When I got home I went to my room to the ajoind bathroom to take a shower. Getting out the shower I put on a fit black flight like suit and jacket. Out of curiosity I began pushing the void into the suit. Whisps of cyan lightning and smoke like waves begin to surround me. Over time the outfit began to harden, crack and then reseal itself. By the end of the transformation I was wearing a sleeker version with a whisp of void appearing every now and then. Looking back into the mirror I shift my hair color to black and take off my contacts.

Nodding approvingly I head towards the door. "Sebas I'm heading out." Hearing him respond I leave the aprtment with my ever present shadow following me.

Late on a vacant street rushing footsteps can be heard. "Stop runnin' we just want to talk to ya!"

"Yeah, come back lil' lady!" Chasing after her, she runs into an alley. After taking several twists and turns the woman runs into a dead end.

Turning in panic she begs to be let go but they don't listen. "I don't have any money, I just got off my shift I don't have anything!" She yells out of desperation.

Taking steps closer the two men leer at her letrously. "We just want to have some fun." Getting closer he put his hand on her neck. "Why not do it here we cou-" Before he could finish his sentence a blur of black and gold flashed in front of him. Then something wet and flesh like hit the ground. Looking down the man saw part of his arm was lying on the ground. Before he could scream a long blade was sting out from his chest, for a moment he started eyes wide with confusion then he convulsed then went limp.

The other man saw everything, he froze with eyes wide with horror. All he could think is 'I need to run, I need to get out of here.' A black hand with gold ornaments shot out of the shadows and gripped his neck. Pulling the man closer to the shadow he began screaming. "Stop, I wasn't doing anything. It was the other guys Idea I didn't do nothin." Slowly a faceless black head with a gold horn like ornament gets closer to the man. Then there was a roar, a soul shaking screech the tore through his mind as waves of void rippled through the air until silence.

When the man fell back drooling with a cloudy look in his eyes, I stepped out of Umbra and looked around. Seeing the women tremble, 'this too much for her ' so I voiced quiet tone "go," and she sprinted past me. Surveying the two men and what's left of them my body began trembling. 'I know I did nothing wrong, hell most would have done worst before killing you but this is just… too much.' Right at that moment my body betrayed me and I rushed to a dumpster nearby and threw up. Stepping back I used transference with Umbra.

Near docks people in uniformed black were walking around armed. In the catwalk above three voices can be heard. "When is the next shipment?" Another grunted, "Should be next Thursday." A fist slamming the railing could be heard. "That's not soon enough! Kingpin will have our heads if he doesn't get his merchandise on time." Little did they know as they were talking a shadow was sitting just above the roofed catwalk they were on.

Climbing down from the roof I jump into the enclosed part of the catwalk where the three men were standing. Taking my blade I take out two of them with clean blows. Knocking out the one who seemed like he was in charge I phase out of Umbra and walk towards the man. 'This could be a good chance to try telepathy. Though I doubt he will survive.' Slowly connecting his mind I sifted through information. Seeing glimpses of faces I recognize a few including mainly Kingpin. Finish getting the information the man started twitching slightly. 'Yeah needs practice.' Walking to peer over the catwalk Umbra walks to my side, looking up at him then toward the rest of the dockyard. "Time to work."
