Omega sat perched on the edge of a tall building in a part of town that was all too familiar to him. He took in the crisp night air through slow, shallow breaths and peered down at the street below while contemplating his recent history with Raven Tale. There had been several ups and downs between them which now all took on a whole new perspective. Because she isn't just Raven Tale. She's Aurora. A tiny, super shy, blind albino...and his friend. Until this point, Manny had never known another vigilante outside of costume. In all honesty, the only other super he knew personally was his mom. So this new alliance...no, friendship...was rather new territory. In a weird way, his vigilante work and his personal life were meshing together, and it felt odd.
He believed in things like destiny and purpose, and fate had let their paths cross several times. For what reason, he couldn't yet tell, and only time would reveal such things. For now he would need to prove that he could actually be trusted for more than just healing from his mother; so, he synched his music player to his headphones, put on one of his favorite nighttime playlists, and waited.
