     I got up and went downstairs. I grabbed some breakfast as Dad came downstairs, very tired. Another all nighter. Every work night. That isn't really a healthy habit, but then again, I pass out way too often. He looked over to me.

(F/N): "Hey, wanna go on another trip to the morgue with me? You know, just like old times?"

    I squinted at him.

(Y/N): "You only ask me to come along when you want to teach me how to do your job for you, and then do it. Which is everyday."

(F/N): "Yes, but, you used to always say yes."

(Y/N): "Yeah well, you always made it sound like some game."

(F/N): "You had fun didn't you?"

(Y/N): "You taught me to play with corpses. Thank god that lesson didn't stick because I could be on the news for being some mass murderer."

     I shook my head.

(F/N): "I don't hear a no."

(Y/N): "Yeah whatever, just finish your breakfast and get in the car."

     I shook my head again as I walked out to the car.

     We walked into the police station. Most of the officers practically knew me by name.

Officer Gary: "Man, (Y/N), you should be the one getting paid with how much your father puts you through."

(Y/N): "Oh come on, if I got paid he would just use that as an excuse to just drop me off here and sleep in all day."

(F/N): "That's absurd."

(Y/N): "I'm not hearing a no."

     We made it into the morgue that was int he back of the station.

(F/N): "So how much do you remember?"

(Y/N): "Everything, but I am not actually gonna do anything this time. It's my turn to sit on, 'the table' and watch you work."

(F/N): "Oh please, like you could actually..... wait. I can't use that anymore can I?"

(Y/N): "Oh yeah, I can probably bench like a million times your weight."

     He squinted at me.

(F/N): "I can't tell if you are exaggerating or not."

(Y/N): "Of course I am exaggerating. A million times your weight? Please, that is just unreal, no matter how much magic is in these muscle, that is defying physics way too much."

(F/N): "Well how am I supposed to know that? You've done some insane stuff that I can still barely believe. If I didn't see you disappear from the front of the house yesterday I still wouldn't believe you could teleport."

(Y/N): "Well, you know. It happens."

     (F/N) started to work as they talked.

(F/N): "Well at least we can still talk, and I don't have to do this whole thing alone in silence. So boring."

(Y/N): "Yeah, I bet it would be. While you are working I should probably do some meditating and weapon summoning to practice, because why not. Universal peace or not, it's still good to be on top of your game."

(F/N): "Oh yeah, while I cut into dead bodies, you get to practice magic. Sure, that's fair."

(Y/N): "Well my magic is all about anti magic soooo."

(F/N): "Wow, even your cool super powers are all about being a buzz kill."

(Y/N): "Well, the Crystal Gems are fun, so I think I know where I get my powers from, Dad."

(F/N): "Oh yeah, totally."

(Y/N): "It's going pretty good. I can spread it out fairly far now."

(F/N): "So how's your 'aura training,' wait, what?"

(Y/N): "Oh, well that has only happened once before. Future vision. It's fun."

(F/N): "I see. So it's just something you can do sometimes?"

(Y/N): "I guess. It's one of those rare abilities that I barely know about and so on."

(F/N): "Of course."

     Dad was driving us back home when we stopped at a gas station for, well, gas. Of course you can't just stop at a gas station without grabbing an icee, cause why wouldn't you? We were waiting in line when there was a loud shatter. Two people with masks and guns jumped through the window nearest to the cash register. As Dad and the Cashier got on the ground, I stood their in disbelief.

(Y/N): "Seriously? Robbing a gas station? What kind of cliche robber scene is this?"

     One of the robbers turned to me and shot at me, the bullet going through my chest. I looked down at the new, very small hole, and then looked up at the robber.

(Y/N): "First of all, ow. Second of all, what is with people, putting holes, in my damn chest?"

     He raised his gun to fire again, but I summoned my shield and blocked it.

(Y/N): "Despite it not having an effect, I am not gonna let you do it again, it hurts."

     I was about to throw my shield at him when I felt a pain in my head. I turn to see a smoking gun aimed at my face.

(Y/N): "Finally, someone get's it. You don't aim for the god damn chest. Somewhere original, thank god."

     I casually threw my shield at the robber who shot my chest, letting the shield dissipate as the robber grabbed their head in pain.

(Y/N): "Then again, that still hurt so...."

     I summoned a pair of nunchaku and looked down at them.

(Y/N): "That was supposed to be a bow. I have no clue how to use these."

     I dissipated them and summoned a battle axe. I looked at it as well.

(Y/N): "That was supposed to be a god damn umbrella. It looks like we are fighting hand to hand. Cause this, this is much, even for me."

    I let the axe disappear as I ran at the man who shot my head, and felt a bullet go through my leg. I paused.

(Y/N): "So. You shoot my chest, that dude shoots my head, and seeing as those fatal options don't work.... you go for the knee. Genius."

     I calmly walked the dude that shot me in the leg and punched him in the face. He went down hard, holding his face in pain.

(Y/N): "I over did that. Your turn."

     I turn to his accomplice and take their gun, crushing it.

(Y/N): "There, robbery over, now sit down and wait for the cops, speaking of which, Dad you are either a coward, or an idiot. I would understand the first option, but you went to college, so I hope it isn't the second. Why haven't you called the police?"

(F/N): "Well my boy. Guns, they are loud, I do not like them."

(Y/N): "Says the man, who works in a Police Station, surrounded by men, with guns."

(F/N): "Hey, those things are holstered with the safety on.... most of the time."

     It has been a few weeks since I went to my dad's work. Of course he stops taking me as often when I stop doing the work for him. I have been keeping the light in my room off at night, and I went to sleep about three times now. I decided it was about time I tried going back into the void. My powers are fine. I am not going to get stuck. I don't have any more glowing veins, I don't have any glitches with my abilities. I can go in and out freely. There is nothing to fear. I did some stretching and some preparing. I closed my eye for a bit, opened it, and closed it again. Opening and closing. It's just the darkness. And it goes away at my command. I can go in and out. I finished stalling, and I stopped existing.
