Ok, so I'm not really happy how this chapter turned out, I rewrote it a couple of times, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting, I'm sorry for the meh finale.


"Do it." Hiccup said firmly, widening his stance and puffing out his chest, dressed in pajama pants and an old t-shirt, his hair uncombed and wild, his skin black and scaly.

Across the room Toothless smiled wickedly as he raised a sledgehammer and ran towards Hiccup, getting a worried look from Fishlegs, who was watching from the side.

As Toothless reached his friend he swung the hammer towards his chest, hitting it with a loud noise. Hiccup stumbled back but regained his balance, as he looked at his raccoon partner he saw the sledgehammer in his hands crack and break in two. Toothless clutched the handle to his chest.

"That was my favorite sledgehammer..." He said softly.

"We bought that this morning." Fishlegs said, giving the small mammal a deadpan look.

"We bonded quickly ok?!" Toothless answered back loudly, once again clutching the hammer.

Fishlegs rolled his eyes and turned to Hiccup, who had removed his shirt and was inspecting his black, scaly chest, it looked unharmed, no blood pouring, no cracks, nothing. And even as Hiccup turned his skin back to… well… skin, there was no sign of a new bruise forming on his chest, although he did have a faint one here and there and one on his cheek. Fishlegs squeaked as he transformed, "That's so awesome!"

Hiccup had spent the first week after the big fight laying in bed, healing from his wounds of the Red Death battle, luckily Astrid had stayed with him, taking care of him and spending time together. They had talked and watched tv a lot, seeing on the news that the bomb the maniac woman had planted had been found under a hospital, at seeing this Hiccup congratulated his girlfriend for saving hundreds of lives.

He'd been up before the end of the weekend, despite Astrid's complaints and his wounds not being totally healed. After three weeks, he was a lot better, but still had faint bruises on his torso and lots of scars on his back and arms.

He had used his time in those three weeks to work in his garage, which had been manned by Gobber while he was resting, and master his new skill. "Now I'm pretty much officially a Night Fury." Hiccup had thought to himself as he mastered the ability to switch skins. Although it was amazing and useful, it still worried Hiccup that they knew almost nothing about this new power.

After recognizing that Night Fury was no threat towards his son, Stoick had removed Astrid from her bodyguard duty, so she had started a new protection job the week before, keeping some famous actress safe, luckily, the security was in shifts which means she and Hiccup spent most of the day working, and reunited in the afternoons. Just like normal couples, without any normal in them. So, Hiccup used that time to work on his shop, and today, to test his new powers along with Fishlegs and Toothless. They had hit him, frozen him, burned him, shot him, among other things. His scales were extremely resistant and kept away most of the pain, although they were at their weakest against the cold.

Still, they had no explanation as to how it happened, and no idea where the blue light, they had seen during his fight with Red Death, came from. Fishlegs had wanted to take Hiccup to his lab where they had a TAC scanner, but they'd need a doctor to analyze it, and Hiccup did not want a doctor wondering why he had an extra set of organs, or the lack of one, or whatever was going on inside him.

Fishlegs had looked at his blood and skin cells under a microscope, unfortunately, they were all really good in engineering, but not that much in biology, but the did conclude that although they were tougher, his cells did not regenerate quicker.

"You ok?" Fishlegs asked his friend, after inspecting his skin-covered chest for new bruises or internal bleedings. Nothing.

"Yeah, it hurt a little more than the bullet though." Hiccup answered, rubbing his chest and frowning. "I know I'm thin Toothless but I'm not a nail for you to hit with that much force." He joked towards his friend, who raised his laser gun.

"Well this is probably gonna hurt more." He said as he pointed the gun at Hiccup and charged it.

Hiccup rose his hands in front of him, a panicked look across his face as his skin turned to scales, still shirtless. Fishlegs squealed and got out of the way.

"I hope you're not planning to shoot my boyfriend." A female voice came from the door and Hiccup sighed and relaxed as he saw Astrid giving Toothless a warning glare, the raccoon in turn lowered his gun and pouted.

"I was only gonna shoot a little blast…." He mumbled.

Hiccup turned his scales back to skin and approached his girlfriend, forgetting he was shirtless until she looked approvingly at his naked torso, he flushed and grabbed her waist, pulling her to him, she in turn wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed while Fishlegs and Toothless looked away and mumbled excuses to leave the room.

"I wouldn't mind entering home to this every day." She commented with a sly grin after they broke the kiss.

"I'm pretty sure Toothless would." Hiccup said, flushing slightly.

"-If it helps at all, I would too, sir-" Came Ghustav's voice and they laughed.

'Knock'

'Knock'

'Knock'

The pounding on the door resounded through the whole garage, Hiccup wheeled out from under the Toyota he was working on and got up, heading towards the door. On his way he grabbed a cloth on his desk, clearing the grease on his face and the on his hands.

At the door stood, once again, detective Bog. Hiccup's eyes widened, "Shit."

"Detective Bog!" He said, perhaps over excitedly, his eyes darting around. She quirked an eyebrow.

"You remember my name?" She asked suspiciously.

"Well, it's not every day a detective comes by my shop." he said nervously, scratching the back of his neck. She nodded, but still looked at him suspiciously, so he continued. "Can I help you?"

Cami had first seen Stormfly the night Night Fury had almost died, but with all the panic she had not gotten a good look, but after the Red Death fight she had seen her beside the superhero, she noticed the blonde fighter beared great resemblance to the girl that had been in the garage the day she came to question Hiccup, even with the mask on, they had stood very close, and she had made out some details. So she decided to come back, and investigate once more. She entered and looked around, looking for anything suspicious.

"What can I do for you, detective?" Hiccup repeated, feigning mild annoyance.

"I'm investigating… a chop shop, and thought I could get some information off of you…." Camicazi lied, hoping to stall for enough time to find evidences that he was Night Fury.

Hiccup nodded, but as he did, a voice sounded in his ear-piece.

"-Sir, detective Bog is lying, she's on leave for the next two weeks.-"

Hiccup's eyes widened, she was onto him…. But was that that bad of a thing? He had trusted her before, and she had proven she was worth that trust, perhaps it wasn't the worst idea in the world…. Hiccup considered it in silence, wondering what he should do.

"Not sure how I could be much help…" He started.

She turned to look at him and answered, "You could give me the names of any shops you know might not be completely… legal." As she finished, she inspected him closely, she looked at his arms and saw several scars on them, consistent with the ones she had seen on Night Fury's arms. She was honestly pretty sure this was the superhero she had helped.

"How do you know it's not me?" He asked, an eyebrow quirked.

"Because I trust you", would have been her answer, and she realized she did, if this was Night Fury, he would trust her, he had called her when in need of assistance, so, if she asked, she hoped he would trust her enough to keep his identity a secret, because she would.

"Because I trust Night Fury with my life." she said plainly, like it was no big deal.

But Hiccup's expression turned into one of shock, he hadn't expected her to just come out and say it. "Straight to the point I guess." He thought, and had only a few seconds to decide whether to tell her or not. Finally he spoke.

"How'd you figure it out?" He asked sheepishly.

They had changed how they protected Berk, while before Hiccup would pull too many all nighters flying around town, now with a bigger crew, a police detective as a friend and an AI as a watchful eye over the city, they took turns in rounding the city, one night one of them would survey, the next night another one would and so on in a loop, meaning the others would always have two nights rest before their shift. If it ever seemed it was too much for one or it got out of control, Gustav would wake the others. Of course sometimes all 3 of them would go out, sometimes just Hiccup and Toothless, or Hiccup and Astrid. Some nights even Fishlegs joined from their home.

Astrid still had her house but spent most nights at Hiccup's, for availability, she claimed. And Toothless had made a net bed in the computer room where he slept most nights, although when he had nightmares of his old past, he would crawl in bed with Astrid and Hiccup and sleep soundly, the first few times the couple had jumped out of their skins at the scare, but they had grown used to him.

Tonight was Hiccup's shift and he overflew Berk. He loved the view, he always had. It was his home town, the place he'd been born in and lived all his life. It was Home.

These last few months had been some of the scariest, most life-threatening, hardest, painful months of his life in which he lost a leg, but they had also been some of the best. He had made new friends, gotten together with his long time crush, reconciled with his father, gained new powers, and stopped a great evil that had loomed over his city and its people.

Hiccup smiled and shed a tear that was lost amidst the winds. He had hurt, but it had all been worth it, for his people.

And he would protect them, with all his might, with all he had, he would protect the stubborn viking descendants that were his people, he would keep his friends safe, no matter the opponent, no matter the cost.

"They can come" Hiccup thought as he landed on a tall building, "We'll stop them." He overlooked the city, blue light beginning to shine beneath his scales "Because..." the light was bright now and he smirked "I am Night Fury! The super hero!"


So... that's it...!

First of all I want to say thank you, to all those who read, reviewed, followed or favorited, reading your reviews is probably one of my favourite things, even the ones that criticise, if it's backed up by arguments then I'll totally try to ammend any mistakes.

I also want to say I'm sorry. For leaving you guys hanging for so long and for the loss of quality over chapters. I beleive these come from the same cause. I really like writing and thinking of HTTYD stories (have a couple in my mind right now honestly) but the chapters must come from inspiration, if I force myself to write they're just kinda... meh... and that's what happened, I began forcing myself to write, so I wouldn't take too long updating, and I began to lose interest, and eventually just... stopped. I also think it's why I don't really like this chapter that much, because I had to sit down in front of my computer and force myself to finish this story.

So, I've decided to keep writing, but mostly one-shots, even if begginings of unfinished stories, so I don't have to worry about finishing and just write as it comes to me

Now, I don't think this is the best (or even one of the best) Superhero AU stories, but I did enjoy thinking of the twists and the story and reading your reviews, my writing-fu although failed me a little and I hope to improve.

Again, Thank You so much for reading this and I hope you all enjoyed it.
