This is not how Virgil would’ve liked to spend his Saturday night, but such is the life of a vigilante, unfortunately.

“Put the weapon down,” Virgil commands calmly, commending himself for not letting his fear show in his voice. He adjusts his grip on his bow and arrow, using it to gesture to the ground. He feels his smirk grow as the perps eyes widen and his hands fly up, slowly lowering his gun to the ground. His smirk falters, however, when he realizes it’s not because of himself, but because of him .

Officer Prince stands beside him, his gun pointed at the robber. His face is stern, focused, and it takes Virgil a second to realize that he’s talking to him.

“-seriously, Storm, this is dangerous , why are you even here?” Prince asks, and Virgil scoffs.

“Are you kidding me? The city is in danger and I’m here to stop it, Detective Dipshit.”

“That’s what the police are for, Emo Hawkeye,” the officer retorts.

“And let everyone get killed before you dumbasses get here? I don’t think so, Bitch with a Badge.” Virgil moves towards the robber, before looking back and realizing the cop wasn’t following him. He rolls his eyes, asking, “Are you going to arrest him, or do I have to do everything myself?”

Prince shakes his head fondly, “Uh, yeah, I should… do that.”

Virgil gives him a look, one that he hopes conveys no shit . Rolling his eyes again, he lowers his weapon as the officer cuffs the robber. The vigilante waits for him to finish his task and sit the criminal down, and then proceeds to lean his elbow on the shorter man’s shoulder. “So, feel bad that I did your job for you again?”

“Hardly,” Prince shoves Virgil’s elbow off of him. “Now, I’d love to stay and chat, but I have a job to do.” Virgil raises an eyebrow. “You mean the job I just did?”

“No, Robert Downer Jr., the paperwork and the putting-the-bad-guy-in-jail job,” Prince scoffs.

“You’re really loving the marvel nicknames today, aren’t you, Inspector Clueless?”

“You’re trying to be a superhero, so you get superhero nicknames,” the cop shrugs.

“I’m a vigilante, big difference.” “Sure there is, Superman.”

“Don’t you have a job to do?”

“Thought you already did it for me?” Prince’s satisfied smirk makes its way onto his face, causing Virgil to groan. Prince starts walking towards a group of approaching officers, clearly proud of himself, when Virgil speaks without thinking.

“Wait,” He calls, jogging to catch up, occasionally looking back at the perp to insure he’s still there. At Prince’s raised eyebrow, he continues. “I, uh, wanted to know if… okay, look this is really weird for me, I don’t even know if you’re gay, I-”

“Yes, I’ll go out with you, Storm.” Prince interrupts.

“Really?” Virgil’s shocked look earns a chuckle from Prince, which in turn makes Virgil pout. “Don’t laugh at me, Prince.”

“Roman.”

“Roman?” The name feels strange on his tongue, but it’s the right kind of odd.

“That’s my name. Figured you should know it if we’re going on a date,” Roman shrugs. “And yours?”

“Not so fast, Roman, I like to take things slow.” he slings his arm around Roman’s shoulders. “ Real slow.”

“So that means you’re not taking off your mask anytime soon?” the officer asks, once again removing Virgil’s arm from his body.

“Not in your wildest dreams, Princey,” Virgil laughs. He moves towards the robber, intending to bring him to the nearest cop car, when he hears a shout and a loud bang.

“Storm, look out!”

In a flash, Virgil finds himself on the ground, and with a heavily breathing Roman on top of him. Virgil teases, “Woah, Roman, on top of me before the first date? I thought I said I took things slowly.”

Roman lets out a humourless chuckle, “Yeah, uh, sorry, I just- you were almost shot.”

Virgil’s eyes widen, and he whips his head to the side, surprised to see a second and third robber running from the onslaught of officers. Pushing Roman off of him, Virgil jumps into action, pointing his bow and arrow at one of the criminals. “Drop your weapon, hands on your head.” The criminal scoffs before freezing, feeling Roman’s gun at the back of his head. “He said,” Roman coughs out. Virgil thinks he must’ve hit the ground too hard and knocked the wind out of himself. “To drop the gun.”

Letting the gun fall, the criminal drops to his knees while Roman signals another officer to cuff him. Virgil peers around the corner to see the third perp flat on the ground, his hands roughly being moved to the small of his back. Turning back around, all the blood drains from his face when he sees Roman leaning against a wall, face devoid of colour, and a blank look in his eyes. His vision trails down to Roman’s torso, where his hand is pressing into his side, and his shirt is covered in blood.

Approaching quickly, Virgil sucks in a sharp breath at Roman’s clearly laboured breathing. Rapid fire, he spits out his immediate questions. “Roman, when did this happen? Are you okay? Have you called for a medic?”

Roman slides down the wall, only minorly wincing when his shirt catches on the wall and rubs against his wound. His breathing slows, and Virgil can’t tell if it’s a good thing or not. Roman speaks quietly, “Ambulance has been called, no need to worry.”

“When did this happen?” Asks Virgil, crouching down to examine Roman’s side.

“Remember that time when you almost got shot?”

Virgil pauses his actions and frowns. “Are you telling me that-”

“I got shot while protecting a civilian? Yes, I did.”

“Roman-”

“I’m serious, no matter how much you try to be a superhero-” Roman shifts, leaning more of his back against the wall. He breathes deeply, and, to his credit, barely makes a face of pain whilst he does so. “No matter how much you try to be a superhero, you’re not. You’re a civilian, and I’m a police officer. I’ll get a shiny badge for this, whereas you’d just get hospital bills.”

“I don’t like that you did this for me,” Virgil admits. His voice is small, and if he were someone else, he would admit to the few tears running down his cheeks. He moves to add pressure to Roman’s side, quietly apologizing when he hisses. “I know you would’ve done it for anyone, but you should’ve… you should’ve let me take it.”

“Yeah, fat chance, Panic! At The Everywhere. No way I’m letting you get shot because you have some ego to protect,” Roman rolls his eyes, and Virgil sees a stray tear before Roman wipes it away and plasters on his false bravado.

“Virgil.” “Virgil?”

“That’s my name. Figured you should know it if we’re going on a date,” Virgil shrugs.

“Or if I’m dying in your arms,” Roman responds, laughing to himself, which then morphs into a cough. He pulls his hand away, dramatically motioning to the blood on his palm. “It’s like all of those murder mystery movies, where the host coughs into their handkerchief and then they pull it away to reveal blood.”

“Figures you’d watch those movies. And you’re not dying in my arms, Roman.”

“You’re right,” Roman moves himself to lay in Virgil’s lap. With some strain, he pulls one of  Virgil’s arms around his waist. “ Now I’m dying in your arms.”

“Roman, goddammit, this is not something to joke about!” Virgil cries. He presses down on the wound again, making the man in his lap groan in pain. He pulls his mask off, attempting to use it as a tourniquet. He pretends to ignore Roman staring at his face. “Fuck, shit, fuck, I have to do something , you’re dying because of me -”

“Virgil,” Roman coughs. He reaches up and wipes the free flowing tears from Virgil’s face. “It’s okay, there’s nothing you can do.”

“There- There should be something, I-”

“Hey, gorgeous, look at me,” Roman smiles weakly. “You can do something, okay? I’ll give you something to do to help.”

“Please,” whimpers Virgil.

“Just-” Roman’s coughs are hacking now, and despite the blood dripping down his chin, Virgil can’t help but realize how truly beautiful this man is. “Just hold me.”

Virgil nods, cradling the man who saved his life . He lets out a soft, “yeah?” when Roman says his name again.

Roman smiles weakly. “Sing to me?”

“Okay,” Virgil whispers. He sings the first song that comes to mind. “ That night I put my youth in a casket, and buried it inside of me. That night I saw through all the magic, now I'm a witness to the death of a hero .”

“Your voice is soothing, it’s nice,” Roman mutters. He closes his eyes and hums along with Virgil’s singing.

“ I burned all the pictures in the attic, and threw away the magazines. That night I saw through all the magic, now I’m a witness to the death of a hero .”

Roman’s face goes slack, and Virgil panics. “Roman, wake up, please , this isn’t funny, wake up Roman, wake up !” he slaps Roman’s cheek, but he doesn’t stir.

Virgil is sobbing now, clutching onto Roman’s limp body like a lifeline. He’s getting blood all over himself, it’s sticky and warm, but it’s Roman’s, and so he’ll suffer. Violent thoughts dance through his mind, mostly of revenge on the asshole who shot at him, but he ignores them in favour of petting Roman’s hair.

Eventually, the paramedics - when did they get here? - tell him to step aside, and that they need access to the body. Virgil wants to scream at them, how dare they show up too late, and then refer to Roman as just a body ? He refrains, however, and asks for just one more minute with him, please. They oblige, although begrudgingly, and leave him be.

The only thing Virgil can think to do is to sing.

“ The death of a hero, he couldn't be saved, now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave. I'll cover his grave. The death of a hero, I'm turning the page, now I'm cutting the grass and I’ll cover his grave. I'll cover his grave.

That night I put my youth in a casket and buried it inside of me. That night I saw through all the magic, now I'm a witness to the death of a hero. I burned all the pictures in the attic, and threw away the magazines. That night I saw through all the magic, and now I'm a witness to the death of a hero .”

Masterlist

On the surface the Moon family seemed like your average, all American family. But that couldn't be the farthest thing from the truth. The Moon family actually held a deep secret, a secret that if it got out it could put their whole family, and their species, into danger.

Aurora Moon was the only child of Artorius and Venus Moon. She grew up alongside the ocean for years, swimming with fishes, dolphins etc. and enjoying her life as a half-human and half-mermaid being. When Aurora was on land her hair would change from a light blue to a dark chestnut brown color and her gorgeous blue scales and tail would fade away the instant she touched the sand. Her family was actually of royalty. Her parents had made the Atlantic Ocean their home, their kingdom, a secret place that was kept hidden from humans for centuries. Her parents ruled the ocean and protected it from the pollution and filth that the human race threw into it or did to it. They were able to keep the Atlantic Ocean clean and safe for years, but when they had Aurora and she was starting to get bigger they decided to live on land and to try and give her a normal life. They left the care of the Atlantic Ocean to the other mermaids that dwelled deep below the surface of the ocean.

On Aurora's 15th Birthday her parents graced her with a crown. A crown that was dubbed with corals, sea shells, diamonds, and was just covered in the beauty of the ocean. That was her first gift. Her second gift her parents gave her was the freedom to swim in the lakes and rivers of their new home of Queens, New York. This was their biggest gift to her as it was going to be her gift of freedom to explore the rivers and lakes of her new home instead of being able to be in the ocean she grew up in. But this gift came with one rule and one important rule: She can only swim in them at night when nobody is on the waters. Aurora had to make sure that at night when she went out that she wouldn't get discovered because if she did her whole life and family will be put into jeopardy.

On the night of her 15th birthday Aurora did just that, she went down to one of the biggest lakes in Queens when nobody was around. She had to make sure that nobody was here so she took a few minutes to scan the area carefully over with her bright blue eyes until she finally deemed it safe to go in. The only thing she had to do before she went into any form of water was to strip off any, and all clothing. She did just that as she put her clothing into a backpack that she placed under one of the benches by the lake as she dived right into the lake. As soon as her body hit the water her hair changed from that brown chestnut color to a light and right blue color, her legs turning into a light blue tail adorned with jewels from the ocean, light blue scales appeared on small parts of her body such as her arms, neck, and a few on her face, and her crown that her parents gave her she now placed upon her head. The stars from the night sky danced on the surface of the lake and the light from the moon danced across Aurora's scales making her shimmer and shine like a diamond.

Swimming through the lake she spent most of her time floating on the surface of the lake as she gazed at the stars and the moon only to have to go back under whenever a car passed or a person walking late at night passed as well. As she was about to dive back under the water a human body soared through the night sky as it came crashing down into the lake. This caused Aurora to grow tense as her anxiety began to sky rocket. She knew she had to save this human and she knew she had to do it fast or they would die. As she swam towards the sinking figure she saw that the body was adorned in a red and blue jumpsuit with the logo of a spider on it. This wasn't just any normal human, this was a Spider-Man! The masked hero that protected this city and swung through the city during the day. He seemed to be unconscious and it looked like his mask was going to make it hard for him to breathe. She took in a deep breath as she swooped up the superhero in her arms and swam towards the surface. She dragged him over to a patch of grass by the far side of the lake where no cars or people could see them.

"Crap he's still not breathing.." She muttered to herself as she gently pressed her head against his clothed chest to see if he was still alive.

After a few seconds of not hearing his heart beat it immediately let out a low thump signaling that he was still alive. She sighed in relief as she looked down at his unconscious figure as her tail stayed in the water so she wouldn't revert back to human form.

As her hands began to reach for his mask she hesitated for a bit. She was about to unmask Spider-Man, she was about to see the face of the man or boy behind the mask. But if she didn't remove his mask he could die. She counted to three in her head before she ripped off his mask. His face... His face looked so angelic and pure, his brown curls were wet from being in the water and deshevled from the removing of his mask. She shook her head as she began to perform CPR on the boy.

"Cmon dammit wake up!" She whisper shouted as she began to perform mouth-to-mouth recesitation on his unconscious body.

As his body started to move she quickly pulled away as he woke up and began to cough up water. Aurora sighed happily to herself as she saw that the boy was ok.

"Thank god you're ok..." Her velvet like voice traveled to the superheroes ears as he suddenly jumped and looked at the mysterious woman before. The extremely, gorgeous, and beautiful woman that laid before him that just saved his life.

"D-Did you just save my life...?" The brunette haired boy tried to register what was going on as he looked at the woman.

"Yeah I did." She flashed him an angelic smile as he could feel a small portion of heat start to rise from his cheek.

"U-Ummm thank you for saving me. U-Ummm..." As he was trying to thank the woman his eyes began to trail down her body all the way to her tail. Holy crap! She's a mermaid! I was saved by a mermaid! Was all that he could think as he saw her tail.

As she saw where his eyes landed she immediately began to back track into the water as her eyes filled with fear. Had she just destroyed the fate of her family? Was this person going to expose her? As her tail began to sank into the water the boys voice became present again.

"W-Wait don't go! I-I am sorry if I scared you... U-Um I-I'm Peter by the way..." The boy named Peter extended his gloved hand out to the mermaid as she looked at his hand then at him with confusion lacing her eyes and face. She cautiously shook his hand back as she looked at him.

"Nice to meet you Peter... Look ummm... I really have to go but I'm glad you are ok." As she quickly turned her back to him and started making her way into the water he quickly stood up with his mask in his hands.

"C-Can I come see you again? I-I mean I owe you for saving my life. I-If you want to see me again that is! I-I mean it's up to you not me-" As he turned into a cute rambling mess she let out a small giggle that sounded like angels when it hit Peters ears.

"Yeah sure. As long as you don't tell anyone about.. this." She made hand motions towards her signaling that he had to keep her secret safe as he quickly shook his head "yes" his curls bobbing up and down as he nodded.

"Alright then. I'll see you here tomorrow night. Goodnight.. Spider-Man." She smirked to herself as she dived down into the lake as she secretly watched him from below the surface of the water.

"G-Goodnight. Miss Mermaid." As Peter whispered those words to himself he webbed himself away from the lake as a smile was plastered on his face under his mask.

It looks like Aurora had made a new friend, a superhero friend at that.
