It’s been about three (or was it four) years after the incident with Beelzebub. Earth has restored from it. Of all the five princes they faced, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Belphegor caused the greatest damage. Some physically, some morally, some mentally. I’ve seen all these events, passing one after another… in this years, the heroes have showed their worth, they have passed hard times and even Draco and Dave ended up in other dimension finding that what some call villain… for others is something else.
I’m not the one to be talking about that, but, as for what my other half means, he passed AGAIN for an experience he hated. They found another rat villain with a passion to bound, and display people as trophies… Fury sent him there knowing the consecuences… of course, Draco went out of troubles. Why do rats tend to be such idiots? First Fennel, then this guy… and again asking for the power to domain other minds. Nevertheless, Draco was bounded again… yet, this time he broke. Not in the defeated sense, no… I’d have even preferred him to break that way. Draco split in two, during that mission Fury offered him a suit pretty much like the one that his best friend used to wear, Richard Sullivan. He broke free… burned the ropes and since he was captured with clothes, using that suit, his personality changed. He turned cold, nearly life hater for those who acted wrong… the villains. Again my wolgon counterpart ended up killing the target in an even more gruesome way than he did with Fennel. Even cousin Beelzebub was disgusted.
Ever since then, Draco has his split personality. When wearing his hero suit or civilian clothes, he’s still nice… wearing that suit he kills without thinking twice if he’s in front of criminals or villains. He did it with Lady Mist. Oh! By the way, now Draco works for S.H.I.E.L.D. not only as field agent but as trainer for the new heroes that Fury decides to give shelter. One of them is Swift Spark, a dumb otter who thought two weeks of training are enough to be called a hero. Since his… first trip with the criminal world, it’s been nearly a year. The kiddo does it fine now under the surveillance of Draco. But that’s not what it inquires me now… not when Draco is right now in a house where he know will be never the same again. Even though no one accuses him of anything there…
Draco stood holding the knot of his tie between a finger and his thumb. He was wearing his suit, ha had just killed some thugs cold blooded and yet he was there, doubting about knocking the door. He looked again at the plate reading the family name “Sullivan”. He gulped and after debating for over some minutes he reached the door and knocked three times; it opened. In front of Draco was a females lynx around his forties. She looked at Draco and to the wolgon’s pain, she smiled at him.
“Come in Draco” the lynx said “Sally and Sivil are in their rooms making homework. Sivil’s been one year into elementary school but it hasn’t been a challenge to her.”
“T-thanks Lizzy” said Draco entering the house looking at the pictures in there. most were of Elizabeth and her two children. Some in themeparks, amusement parks, the beach… happy pictures… but Draco knew that inside they were crying in pain. Especially when he saw the other pictures where they were accompanied by a blue male lynx smiling at the camera. The one that was his best friend ever since he was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.
“Want something to eat?” asked Elizabeth.
“P-please don’t mention me food…” said Draco with sadness in the voice, something the lynx noticed.
“Draco, it’s been years since that…” started Elizabeth but Draco shook his head.
“I’ll never be able to take the shame and dishonor from me.” said the wolgon clenching his fists. He hated to go there… he hated to face them because he was the man who killed that woman’s husband and her children’s father “I killed Richard Lizzy… and I really…”
Draco couldn’t continue since he felt the hard slap of Elizabeth’s hand in his cheek, surprising him. the wolgon looked at the lynx and he saw her crying.
“Don’t you EVER dare to insult my husband!” she yelled making the two girls to come down stairs “Richard did that for you! He saved you and if you talk that way you’ll be only insulting his memory!”
“I’m sorry” said Draco holding his cheek. The slap had been really hard. He couldn’t bare it, he just got really depressed being around them. But he loved Elizabeth and the girls as if they were of the family. In Richard’s last will he asked Draco and Dave to take care of them, to watch the girls grow up… still, Draco couldn’t bare the pain he had in the chest.
“You should” said Elizabeth as she walked to the dining room “I don’t want to see you crying when Dave arrives, ok?”
“Neither do we uncle Draco” said Sally reaching Draco’s handpaw. The wolgon looked at her.
“Daddy was a hero, remember?” said Sivil and Draco started to cry.
“The greatest hero I’ve ever met…” said the wolgon cleaning after his eyes and sniveling.
“Then come and join us” smiled Elizabeth as she took a turkey into the table and the girls rushed their way there.
“Mom looks delicious!” cheered Sivil.
“I bet it tastes even better!” said Sally in the moment the doorbell rang.
“I’ll go” smiled Draco as he walked and opened the door seeing Dave standing in there.
“Hey babe” smiled the folf holding Draco tight.
“Not in front of the kids darling” plainly said Draco but Sally interrupted.
“We’re used to that” laughed the little female lynx.
“Come on you two… we have a dinner to attend” said Elizabeth.
Richard’s family came from united states, some of their traditions were different to the ones Draco and Dave celebrated. And that night it was Thanks Giving. The duo of heroes that were husbands walked and sat at the table after closing the door. But they left the main seat of the table empty, that was Richard’s place and in that side, a golden frame with a picture of Richard Sullivan was standing looking at them. They all said why they were thankful and started to eat, talking, telling stories from Dave and Draco to the girls and making the night go peacefully.
Near the end of the night, when the couple was leaving Draco turned around looking at the big house and sighed. Dave was six steps ahead of him.
“They have grown intelligent and beautiful Richard.” said in his mind the wolgon smiling in his insides “Sally was already granted admission to mid-school at such young age and Sivil is doing great in his first years of elementary school. I’ve keept at bay, with Dave of course, any peril in their lives… You’d be proud of them.”
“Darling?” asked Dave looking at Draco looking back at the house.
“Coming” smiled the wolgon starting to walk to Dave.
If you read the previous entries of Furry Avengers, you'd know one of he important characters got killed by Draco when possessed by Beelzebub. He made Dave promise to take care of his family together with Draco... but Things have changed with the pass of years... the only thing that hasn't is Draco's guilt! I leave you this to enjoy!
