The Black Necromancer

Leon sighed as he tied up his hair once again. He put on something not too fancy, but still classy and stylish enough. He never had the extra money to buy any designer brands or anything before, but with Michael giving him all the nice clothes he needed, he could afford to show off a bit before retuning home.

Knock knock.

The knock on Leon's door let him know that the others were waiting for him. He quickly rounded up before joining them outside. His three summons, Michael, and Eugene, were all waiting for him.

"Shall we?" He asked, and they all nodded. They quickly left the hotel under the awed gazes of both employees and fellow customers of the hotel. Even on the street, people continued to be stunned by their looks. After all, it was quite rare to see so many handsome men with such flawless skin and impeccable looks.

Ding!

The sound of the bell over the door at the entrance of Megan's Diner rang and several eyes turned. Those eyes did not leave the figures of the men that had come into the diner.

The five men took their seats at a booth before Eugene spoke up. "Did you see those armed agents outside?" He asked. When they arrived at the diner, they spotted a few suited agents standing outside the diner.

"That is most likely because of what happened yesterday. It also means that Andrew and Rowan are in here somewhere." Leon answered.

"What happened yesterday? Is it related to the matter of the Black Fangs?" Eugene was intrigued.

"Yes, that is why we even got involved. A rather influential member of the gang was after someone who frequents this diner. So it was attacked. The man was also attacked later at night, so it seems he actually hired some people to protect him." Leon explained.

"Oh, I see." Eugene nodded.

As if on que, at that moment, the door to the kitchen of the diner swung open and the fashion and modelling duo emerged. They looked around the diner once before spotting Leon and Michael. They were also surprised to see Kaladin, Nero and Grokus, however.

"Leon? Michael? I wasn't expecting to see you guys here after what happened yesterday!" Andrew quickly came up to their table with Rowan being a bit slower.

"Haha, if that scared us, then where should we hide our faces?" Leon laughed. They were talking about the attack on the restaurant where they had celebrated the successful show yesterday, and not the attack on the diner, as none of them could remember after Michael altered their memories.

"Hold on... Leon?" Andrew suddenly paused and did a double take at Leon. He then noticed Eugene and did another double take. He could not believe his eyes. "Did you always look like this?" He asked.

"Oh, yes." Leon nodded. He held Eugene's shoulder and chose to introduce him. "This is my father, Eugene."

"Hello. A pleasure to meet you." Eugene shook the two men's hands with a smile.

Ding ding ding!

Rowan's phone started ringing at that moment. He looked at the screen and sighed. Andrew took a peek and also sighed.

"Sorry, we have to get going now. We'll talk some other time, yeah? You still have my business card, right?" Andrew asked.

"Yes, I still do." Leon nodded his head.

"Alright, see you around." Andrew shook Leon again and gave Michael a nod before he and his business partner left the diner.

"You didn't fix your face." Michael noted. Leon had come out with his real face this time instead of adjusting it to look different.

"I know." Leon nodded. He looked around before speaking up, "I'll go into the kitchen. I need to talk to them." He stood up from his chair and walked into the kitchen without looking back.

Crash!

A tray fell down from Megan's hands as she stood in front of Leon. She didn't move to pick up the mess and just kept on staring.

"You should be more careful, you know." Leon smiled and bent down to pick up the tray and the cups. Luckily, nothing had gotten broken.

"What happened?" James and the other boy who worked in the diner came over.

"Hey James, long time no see." Leon said as he stood up.

"Y-you...!" James was startled and took a step back before lunging forward and grabbing hold of Megan to pull her back with him. "A ghost?!"

"Haha, I'm not a ghost." Leon said with a sad expression and looked to the side. He wasn't a ghost. He was an Undead. He looked to the other boy. "Please, can you excuse us for a moment?"

"U-um?" The boy turned to look at James and Megan who gave a hesitant nod. "Alright." The boy quickly left the kitchen and gave the excuse that they were having a problem, so nothing would be coming out of the kitchen for a while.

"He seems to be a pretty good boy." Leon said, motioning behind him.

"L-Leon? Is that really you?" At this point, tears were running down Megan's face like a stream. It was a good thing she never did makeup unless she was dressing for occasions, so her tears could not ruin her face.

"It really is me." Leon replied with a sad smile as a tear slid down his left cheek. He was trying to hold himself together, but seeing his friends crying was getting to him.

Whoosh!

Both Megan and James wrapped Leon up in a big hug as the three of them began to cry it out. Leon made sure to put up a wind barrier to make sure nothing got out of the kitchen.

"B-but, you died!" Megan wailed.

"I actually did. But I'm here to tell you what happened after. How I'm doing. I want you to know that I'm alright. You can say I came here to make peace with you guys." Leon sighed.

"So, you're a ghost who hasn't moved on because you have unfinished business? Man, I always knew all that shit was real." James sniffled as he pulled back.
