16 Fateful Encounter?

Leaving the gaming cafe around 2am, Damian decided to head home. He was fairly tired and didn't think he had it in him to game all night so after drinking an energy drink he felt he had enough time to drive home and shower.

Stepping out of the way of a line leading to a night club, Damian walked a bit further down the street before taking a slight left into an empty parking lot where his car was parked earlier in the day.

Just as he reached the car door he heard a shout a bit further down into the parking. There he saw a young woman, probably in her early twenties, trying to avoid a drunk guy, appearing around the same age as her. He wasn't able to make out what they really looked like other than the young woman was wearing an outfit that made her attractive even in the dimly lit parking lot.

"Can you leave?!" The woman said as she attempted to open her car to leave the area.

"I just want to knowww if you want to see me again...• the man said as he leaned his full weight against the car door keeping it closed.

"I don't so please leave or I'll call the police !" The woman shouted again while pulling out her cellphone from her purse.

"Don't do that!" The man shouted as he snatched the phone from her hands while she was startled from his voice.

"Give it back!" The young woman said as she grabbed her phone and began to tug on it hoping the drunk male would release it.

It was at this time that Damian decided to step in. He wanted to see if the guy would just walk away and let the woman leave but he was disappointed by the outcome.

"Hey dude, to buy yourself a drink and leave her alone." Damian said as he stepped between the two while pulling the phone from both of them when his golden aura flashed on his palm for a split second.

Turning to the man, Damian held out a 20 dollar bill in hopes the man would just accept it and walk away.

"Tch! You can just beat it pal! I'm talking to this girl!" The man replied as he slapped Damian's hand away and grabbed him by the collar.

Looking right into the drunk man's eyes, Damian released the smallest amount of power possible. This caused his pupils to glow a golden light for a bit while Damian grabbed the man's wrist with a strong grip.

"Let go or you'll be in the hospital tonight!" Damian said in a serious tone causing the man to release his clothes instantly and take a step back. As the man did that, Damian sealed his power once again, causing his eyes to stop glowing as he turned towards the woman.

"Here is your phone miss." He said as he placed the cellphone in the woman's hand.

"It's Rose actually, thank you...."

"My name is Damian"

"I see, thank you Dami... watch out!" The young woman, Rose, shouted as a gunshot was heard behind Damian.

Reacting the split second he heard Rose's shout, Damian covered his body in a golden aura, unfortunately it was too late as Damian felt a piercing pain in his side as his aura covered his body. This caused the surrounding area up to a meter to become a zone of golden light.

Turning back to the man who had a look of absolute shock on his face, Damian stared silently at the pistol in the man's hand before looking down at his side to see blood starting to seep through the side of his shirt just above his hip bone.

"Are you fucking serious?" Damian asked as he looked at the man with a straight face before grabbing him instantly by the collar.

"You shot me? For what? A girl!?"Damian asked angrily as the released the man's collar and directly grabbed him by the throat. Feeling the vice like grip that Damian had, the man tried to get free while his mind was in a panic telling him to run.

Unfortunately for him, Damian was a lot stronger while using his aura to strengthen his body. With a single, albeit severely weak, punch to the face, the man was knocked out. This made Damian drop him to the ground while pulling out his phone and calling the police.

"Are you alright!?" Rose asked worriedly as she walked around Damian and looked at his wound.

"I work at a hospital so I can help!" She said as she lifted up Damian's bloodied shirt showing a small flow of blood leaving a hold in his side.

"We need to put pressure on that or you'll bleed out!" She said. This caused Damian, while talking to the police, simply removed his shirt and grabbed it to Rose who folded three times into a smaller square, and hold it against his wound.

Telling the now shirtless Damian to hold his hurt hard his wound, Rose checked on the guy in the ground after making sure he was going it correctly. It looked like to her that Damian had knocked a tooth out of the guy's mouth but other than that, he was breathing normally.

After some time the police and ambulance finally arrived. The emt tended to Damian and the police arrested the man who had shot Damian, after he had regained consciousness. Damian himself was sitting in the back of an ambulance while talking to his mother. She had been the person he called after the police arrived so after knowing the situation, told him to hand the phone to the nearest emt.

While that was happening Rose walked over to Damian as he laid on a stretcher. He had long since sealed his aura so he was the same as always, except for the gold pupils but Damian had just told everyone they were contacts.

"Thank you for your help Damian." Rose said as she placed her hand on his.

"You don't need to thank me, just help me with something." He said as he motioned her to lean closer.

Following his motions, Rose found herself leaning slightly over his body while he whispered into her ear. He simply asked her to not reveal his powers to the police or anyone. To this, she quickly agreed.

She understood that he didn't want his powers revealed so after putting his number into her phone, she said she would call him sometime to get coffee as thanks for his help tonight.

Damian smiled and responded that the idea was great. It was at this time that the police finally asked questions to Rose, as they were busy recounting the crime scene and criminal. She kept her promise about not revealing his powers and with a smile, saw Damian off as he began his journey to the hospital where his mother was waiting worriedly with surgeons prepared and ready to retrieve the bullet from his body.

...

As Damian arrived at the hospital. He met his mother as soon as he was off of the ambulance. There she gave immediate consent for the surgery so after telling him that he was going to recount everything that happened that night, she let the surgeons take him away and do their job.

...

At the same time that Damian was beginning surgery, a young woman opened her hotel room door and stepped inside.

Sighing to herself as she thought back to the events that had transpired tonight. She quickly took a bath to calm her still shaking body.

While enjoying the peaceful of the bath, her thoughts went back to the young man who had helped her.

"Damian...."

(AN: Late chapter I know, currently 1-2 chapters a day depending on his busy I am. I understand this is also shorter than normal but worry not, for I am doing my best with writing 2 novels.

Also, still taking suggestions on powers of the orange and green kings. They can be for battle or not, as long as they aren't extremely broken.)
