Basically my poke at Heroes. Here are my favorite chapters so far, and all chapters can be found on FF.Net under the same title. 

Reinhardt finally gets summoned

After weeks of attempts, he finally did it. With a bit of help from Lon'qu and Gordin, they had convinced them to release a Vantage banner. It was his chance to get summoned, so Shade could stop her whining. Or was it complaining? He didn't know. The first attempt ended with Gwendolyn pushing him out of the way which made Shade scream a disappointed sigh, but here he was. Waiting in front of the portal. Abel, Sheena and Hinata had already be summoned and Shade was going for that last blue orb. He was about to jump out, but he felt something tug at his pant leg. He looked down to see the kid that had been keeping him company looking straight at him.

"So... I guess this means goodbye then..." He said, his eyes nearly filling up with tears. "Your gonna go and get summoned and I'm gonna be here alone again."

"Well it's not going to be goodbye, just see ya later alligator." The mage replied, taking another step before realizing that this kid was still holding the fabric of his pant leg. "Kid, I seriously need to go or Shade's gonna worry if the summoning gun is broken."

"At least take me with you... Since I'm not playable, I'll be able to come with you." The boy's eyes were filled with tears, some even sliding down. The mage crouched down to be at eye level and wiped the tears off with his gloved hand.

"Don't you have anyone else here?" He asked with the boy shaking his head no before wrapping himself around the mage in a tight hug.

"You guys need to get going!" A male's voice shouted. "The portal's going to close!" The mage nodded before running for it, still holding the boy close. He didn't care if this was against the rules, this kid needed someone in his life, and he was going to be that person. Everything went from blue to white to black, but the mage could still hear. Mainly Shade's high pitched screams of joy and a male asking if this was a two for one event going on. Wait, he knew that voice, it was Lon'qu. If it wasn't for his help, the two wouldn't be here right now. Then everything felt silent.

When the mage opened his eyes, everything felt soft, and there was someone with long blond hair and wearing blue robe near the edge of where he was laying.

"What happened?" The mage asked. "All I remember is blue, and black."

"When Shade summoned you, you were passed out and holding a kid in your arms." The person replied. So that's why they never wanted a two for one event. It would knock you out hard core.

"Is the kid ok!?" He never got the kid's name, so this was incredibly hard for him.

"He had only a few minor injuries, but nothing too major." Then, a girl with dark brown hair with a light blue streak in it entered the room.

"I assume he just woke up Lucius?" She asked, with the blond nodding.

"I'm guessing your Shade." The mage said, trying to sit up properly.

"In the flesh. Now I only have one question for you. Why did you take this kid with you?" Shade asked as she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"He had no one else from what he told me, and I couldn't just leave a kid alone like that." The mage replied.

"And you know he's not playable?"

"Yeah. He might not be able to fight but he can at least help with the chores around. Just trust me." Shade just stared for a while, as if she was trying to comprehend what he was saying. It was awkward silence until Shade sighed.

"Your right. I shouldn't just judge based on first appearances." She stood up and started to leave before saying "This is why I like doing this. So I can meet people like you." As she left, the kid entered, the band aids obviously being where the bruises were from the fall.

"Rein!" He shouted as he ran in and sat at the edge of the bed.

"How do you even know my name? I never told you that." The mage asked, obviously confused.

"This nice girl that can turn into a dragon told me." The kid then beamed a huge smile, unlike a couple hours before where he was nearly in tears.

"Huh. You never told me your name though."

"Anthony." The boy replied as the mage tucked some of the boy's hair out of face and behind his ear.

"Well Anthony, it looks like we've both got one huge family now..."

Something About Reinhardt Having Baby Hands

"Hey, Reinhardt could I ask you something?" Shade asked.

"What is it?" The mage replied as he removed the hood off of Shade's hair, messing it up even further than what she had expected.

"Could you take off your gloves?"

"That's a really odd request. Why is that?"

"The internet thinks you have baby hands."

"Like soft or..."

"Very tiny hands."

"What!? That's insane! I have perfectly normal sized hands!" Then, the mage took off his gloves, revealing normal sized hands that has some odd marks on the fingertips.

"Should I even question the marks?" Shade asked.

"Well, since you are here... I used Dire Thunder the wrong way when I was a kid, and without gloves. I wasn't thinking clearly and well, I ended up making a self proclaimed rival out of a bully, taught my sister to always wear gloves when using this magical tome and taught myself that young me was really dumb."

"Ah. So are those gloves magic proof then?"

"Exactly little tactician." All Shade could feel was her face getting red at that.

Soren Hates The Mage Gauntlet

"Hey Soren." Lukas said as he sat next to the Branded tactician. "Why weren't you in the gauntlet that's going on right now?" The tactician sighed before putting down his book and replying "Well, my world unlocked around the same time so I didn't have time to sign up, there were other mages that wanted to be in it, and I hate that dark mage bitch with a burning passion."

"Why are you calling Tharja a bitch?" The redhead asked, somewhat shocked.

"She abused her own child and all she does is stalk Robin."

"Good point."

"Also, I've been looking at the past results and the winners are always females with stupid male fanbases that will go do the nasty on a pillow."

"OH GROSS TMI SOREN!" The redhead got up and ran out of the room from disgust.

"Serves him right for asking me." Soren said as he smirked and went back to his book.
