Protectors of Light Ch. 11: Letters and Suspects

"Hey, Logan?..." Angel called out from the hallway. "In here," Logan replied as he stirred his, and Angel's, morning coffee. Angel walked in, looking down at her hands. "'Don't worry, I understand. Adoption... is always... an option'?..." The woman looked up at Logan, who had a confused look in his eyes. "What is this?... What does it even mean?..." Angel asked as she threw the note onto the counter. Logan rubbed his tongue across his teeth. A habit of annoyance of his. "Merlin, get in here!!" The man shouted. A few minutes later, the little ghost flew into the kitchen with everyone else. "Good morrow, Silajir, Angel... My lady," Merlin said to Alice. "I'm not... your lady..." Alice replied blatantly. "Merlin, what is this?" Logan asked as he held up the piece of paper. Angel turned to the ghost too, with one hand on her hip. The ghost looked at the two Guardians. "Fear not, Angel. Our pasts are in the past. They won't define your future..." Merlin said softly. "What are talking about?" Angel asked in return. Merlin made a deep sighing noise. "It's okay, I know. I know you can't have children..." the ghost answered. Logan dropped his head onto the marble counter. Angel and Alice shared looks. "What?!" The woman exclaimed. Alice flew up to Merlin. "Here, here... Come with me..." the two ghosts flew down to the hallway to have a discussion. "Why does [i]your[/i] ghost think I can't have kids?" Angel asked as she spun around. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! How is this about me, now?" Logan asked with his hands up defensively. In the hallway, Alice slapped Merlin into a wall, then flew back to the Guardians. "[i]Someone[/i] had to plant the seed in his head..." Angel replied. "Uh... He thinks my name is Silajir! He thinks he's a wizard!... Angel, he just makes this s*** up!..." Logan said before sipping his coffee. The woman rolled her eyes and shook her head. Logan picked up a holotablet and opened up the news. He looked at the three pictures, and stared intently at the man wearing 3D glasses, neon green hoodie, sky blue basketball shorts, and crocs. Logan didn't like it. Why was he seen at all three crime scenes? "I wanna find that guy..." Logan said as he tapped the screen. "What?" Angel asked. She turned around and saw what the man was talking about. "Really? [i]That[/i] guy?..." "Yes! There's somethin' odd about him..." Logan replied. He took a screenshot of the man and saved it. Logan turned around to see Angel dawning her full armor. "Well, no need to ignore a hunch..." the titaness said. Angel and Logan were back on the streets of the City. As they walked along, Logan scanned every face. He kept looking at his holotablet, but no one was a match. "Excuse me, Sir. May I help you?" Angel asked as she took the pack of Hard Lights from a man's hand. Logan turned around to see Angel talking to a man, whose face was hidden by a neon green hoodie. Both were standing in the middle of the street. "Hey, Angel! I think that's--" A car leaped over the hill, and was speeding down the road towards the titaness. "Angel, watch out!" Logan yelled as he began running towards her. Angel turned around. She saw the car, and her eyes popped out of her head. She dropped the drinks as she watched the massive machine charging at her. The car blared its horn, but neither Angel nor the older man moved out of the way. "Angel!!" Logan screamed. His full sprint slowed down to barely a walk. "Angel?..." his whole demeanor shifted from fear to shock. What did he just experience. The titaness opened her eyes. Angel's arms were out stiff, and her hands were buried in something. Angel looked at what she had done. The car's hood was crushed inward, and wrapped around her hands. The titaness had forced the car to a complete stop, and Angel didn't even move. "Holy s***..." Alice said as she looked at the soda can of a car. The titaness ran around the car, then ripped the driver-side door off. The man in the seat was dazed, and his face was covered in blood from the airbag. Angel pulled him out of the car, then sat him down on the road. "Why were you speeding?! You could have killed someone!" The Guardian exclaimed. "My brakes... went out... Did I hurt... anyone?..." the man said as he tried to keep his eyes open. "No, no. No one was hurt," Angel patted the man's cheeks. "Hey, keep your eyes on me..." Soon, medical titans ran up and took care of the driver. Angel stood up and stepped back. "You just stopped... a speeding SUV..." Logan said aghast after walking up beside Angel. "Yeah..." Angel replied. She was still in shock too. "What was that you were saying earlier?" "That man you were helping, I think that's him," Logan replied as he held up his holotablet. The two Guardians turned to the man standing on the sidewalk. He made it across, but stopped and watched. "Are you okay, Sir?" The titaness asked. "Aye, t'anks for t'e catch... Mmmmaggie..." the man said after reading the name plate on Angel's armor. Angel laughed. "No, my name is Angel," she replied with a smile. "I suppose t'at makes you me Guardian Angel..." the man said humorously, but Logan rolled his eyes. "Sir, can we ask you some questions?" Logan asked as he crossed his arms. "Oi! Might as well, since we're already speakin'!" The man replied in a rude tone. "Uh, right... What do you know of the murders yesterday?" The man tilted his head up, letting the sunlight reflect off of the red and blue lenses. "Come with me..." he said before walking off. "Come with you?" Logan asked back. He wasn't going to just follow a potential killer. "Aye, it's what I said! Hard hearing, laddie?!" The man replied. Angel and Logan shared looks of concern, but they followed the man down the road nonetheless.
