A tale of heroes - Nina Ghoul - E-book - Multi-format

Poison Crow and Lord Shadow are two superheroes struggling to accept their feelings for each other and deal with a painful past. When they find a young girl floating dead in a lake, they decide to bring her back to life and take care of her. A hand came caressing his face and Oliver smiled as he looked on his left to see Gabriel sitting there with Nina asleep in his arms, still wrapped in his cape. « I'll survive.
», the vigilante promised « What about you, hero? Oliver smiled at the sight of the girl sleeping soundly in her new dad's arms. She seemed so peaceful, so calm all of a sudden, as if she had stopped fearing them, as if she had finally understood that she wasn't in danger at all and as he observed his daughter, as he made the silent promise to protect her and make sure she would never be harmed in any kind of way ever again, Oliver couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to raise Nina with the help of Gabriel.
He hadn't truly asked him his opinion, he had simply decided that they would do it together, as if it was meant to be and to be honest, he had to admit that part of him genuinely hoped that this would help them to get closer. After their one and only night together, Gabriel had seemed more distant than usual, as if embarrassed by what they had done. Did he regret it? Did he fear this would ruin their friendship? If he was to be true with himself, Oliver would be the first to say he had no idea of when he had fell for Gabriel exactly.
He just knew it had happened at some point, when he least expected it. Here he was, in the midst of a fight and all of a sudden, Gabriel had come to his rescue, ready to risk his own life to save him. He had terrorized legions of criminals and hell was he handsome when he was fighting. Leaning in close to his friend and ally, Oliver felt his heart pound in his chest as he pressed his lips against his. When Gabriel returned the kiss, the vigilante thought he was going to die right here and then, in this hospital bed, with Gabriel and Nathaniel by his side.
It wouldn't have mattered. At least, he would have died happy.
