A God and a Devil

Hell's Gates

'Another day, another struggle.'

Oh, how correct this quote is.

The day started normally.

Bored at school, waiting for the final ring of the school bell, so that I could finally go to where I want to be.

What seems to be a normal office, but well... No.

Finally, the school day has ended.
Ever since joining Libra, I began being bored with the day, just waiting for it to end.

Walking down the street to the office, I sighed calmly.

I thought about the people I know.
Steven,

Klaus,

Chain,

Zed,

K.K,

Leo,

Zapp...

I stopped.

Something about Zapp...
What was it about him that I couldn't let go of?

I walked into the office.
It was quiet, as Zapp's morning routine of attacking Klaus, then being chewed out by him and Chain didn't need to happen in the middle of the afternoon.

I greeted everyone, then found a place on the couch I was thankfully comfortable with.
It seemed like only yesterday I joined, even though weeks have passed.

The office was quiet for a bit, it was sort of unusual.

Zapp was on his phone, manipulating his blood to tap the screen.

Klaus sat in his desk, I assume playing that game of his, but who knows...

Steven was sitting in his desk, staring at his screen with anticipation, sipping from his coffee.

Leo was sitting on the couch, silently sighing.
I guess it was unusual for him too, this silence was so new.

Suddenly, Klaus broke the silence.
"Elizabeth."
He called in his stern and clear voice.

"What is it, Mr. Klaus?"
I asked as I raised my head, paying attention.

"I'm terribly sorry. I've just now gotten information that there's been transporting of an unknown drug, believed to be destroyed by The Blinding Eyes Of The Devil."
He sighed.

I nodded with a determined, yet worried expression.

"Don't worry about it, Klausie. We got this."
Zapp sat up with a calm expression, one that would ensure one of safety.
He patted my shoulder, he told Klaus that he'll come along.

We got outside, walked to a moped, with two helmets on it.
As I put on my goggles, he passed me one of the helmets and wore the other one on his head.

"Don't worry kid. You go destroy that thing, I'll have your back."
He said.
His smile...
I couldn't let it go, he really was a hero.

I held the directions Klaus wrote down for me in my hands.
I hopped into the moped, my expression didn't lose its determination.

"Just tell me the directions."
Zapp said. I could hear him ready for anything to come.

"In 200 meters, turn left."
I looked down at the map, analyzing it with my eyes still close.
"Continue straight."

"Got it!"
He said, speeding ahead.

We rode along, me instructing his driving, and him making swift movements on the road.
