When The City Turns Dark

Part Four

Kurt shot up out of a peaceful sleep the morning after, his alarm clock rudely awakening him. He sighed and dragged his body from the bed to the bathroom, to freshen himself up with his morning routine. He looked in the mirror above the porcelain sink, staring back at his reflection.

Kurt's head filled with thoughts and questions, giving him a small headache. But a scene played continuously through his mind, one that really confused him.

~Flashback~

"What's wrong, Llama?" Nightbird wondered out loud.

The Llamanator remained frozen, not knowing what to do. "Nothing.."

Nightbird sighed impatiently although he was actually curious as to what was going on.

"I umm...just forget it. Next time, Bird" Llamanator tried to return to his normal self, but failed miserably.

Before Nightbird could answer, his enemy had vanished. "..What the hell?"

~End of Flashback~

Although its was just a birthmark, it had shaken Kurt completely. No one had a birthmark like that, no one except-no. Kurt stopped himself. That's not true, its just can't be! Kurt sighed and continued to get ready for the day ahead. He wasn't going to think about that now.

Blaine had been waiting at Kurt's locker for a little while now. He clutched his pocket watch and pulled it from his pocket to look at the time. 8:20. odd. Kurt's normally here right now. Blaine shrugged and returned the pocket watch to its place as he spotted Rachel across the hall. "Hey, Rachel!" He called and walked towards her.

The brunette haired girl looked over her shoulder at the sound of her name being called. She spotted Blaine walking her way. "Oh, hi Blaine." She smiled and turned to him.

"You haven't seen Kurt by any chance, have you?" Blaine asked, being his charmingly, dapper self. "He was mean't to meet me, like.." He took another peek at his pocket watch, "..Ten minutes ago."

Rachel shook her head, "No sorry, I have to admit, I'm a little later than usual myself today. So I haven't really seen anyone, except you."

"Oh," Blaine said disappointedly. "Okay, thanks anyway." He went to turn away when Rachel stopped him.

"Wait, have you seen Finn? I need to tell him that I've found the perfect duet for us to sing in Glee Club."

"I just saw him, I think he's with Puck near the cafeteria."

Rachel shut her locker, her arms now hugging a folder."Thank you, Blaine." She smiled at him, "I'll see you later" Rachel walked past him, heading towards the cafeteria."

Blaine sighed and leaned against the row of lockers. It was weird for Finn to be at school when Kurt wasn't. They normally travelled together in Kurt's Navigator. Maybe he's sick? No, he would of told me if he was. Blaine's thoughts were interrupted by the school bell, telling the students that it was time to make their way to class. He stood up straight, re-adjusting the strap on his satchel before making his way to Math class.

Kurt sat in his Navigator, just outside the school. He couldn't go in, he just couldn't. Kurt knew that Blaine would be waiting for him by his locker, but he couldn't move from the car. Suddenly, there was a knock on the window.

"Hey, Kurt? Are you okay?" Mercedes called through the glass. "I heard Blaine's looking for you." She frowned with concern.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine! I'm just.."

Mercedes sighed and got in the car. "What's happened?"

Kurt looked down to his hands that were resting in his lap. "It's nothing really-"

"Kurt." Mercedes said softly. "You can tell me."

"Okay.." Kurt sighed, composing himself. "You know I told you about my Mom's secret job?"

Mercedes thought for a moment. "Yeah, you told me that in Sophomore Year. Why, what happened?"

Kurt sat up a little straighter and turned to Mercedes. "I took over."

Mercedes looked at him blankly. "You did what now?"

Kurt sighed and changed his statement "I took over for her, so I'm now a Super Villain."

Mercedes was silent for a few moments. Her eyes widened in realisation. "Oh my God, you're The Llamanator, aren't you?!"

"How did y-"

"I saw you wearing a bracelet the other day, but that's not the point! Kurt, I can't believe you! Do you know how much stress you're putting the whole of Lima under by doing this?"

"I know, okay?! I know!" Kurt cut her off. "Are you really that shocked, considering it runs through the family?" He asked the diva.

She sighed, calming herself down. "No, I guess not. If anything, I should have seen it coming." She shrugged and smiled at Kurt.

"You won't tell anyone right?" Kurt asked nervously.

"No! Of course not, Boo." Mercedes assured him. "Does Blaine know?"

Kurt looked out the window, turning away from Mercedes. "That's the problem." He mumbled.

"Tell him, Kurt. He'll understand."

"I CAN'T!" He shouted, surprising himself as well as Mercedes. "Sorry.."

"Why not?" She frowned.

Kurt paused, "Is it possible to be in love with your arch enemy?"

Confusion formed on Mercedes' face."What?"

"I think Blaine is...I think he's Nightbird.."

"...Oh.." Mercedes responded, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, she started to chuckle, causing Kurt to turn and face her. "Oh Kurt, that's pretty funny." She giggled.

"How?" He sassed with his infamous bitch glare.

This made her laugh even louder. "It's like a movie! Think about it, the perfect couple who turn out to be each other's worst enemy in disguise, I just-" A fit of giggles cut her off.

"Well, I'm glad you think it's funny!" Kurt spat.

Mercedes leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Don't be so hard on yourself! So what if you love and hate your boyfriend?" She opened the door and hopped out of the car. Mercedes turned to face him. "Surely, this makes your relationship a little more exciting?" She grinned with a wink before closing the door and retreating beck to the school.

Kurt watched her go before smirking. Maybe she's right, maybe this will make things fun. He thought before getting out of the Navigator and heading to class.
