CompletedAfter waking up from a graduation celebration hangover, Elio discovered he was seeing double. This illusion caused great inconvenience in his daily life, so he went to Abstergo Hospital for a check-up.
Doctor: You mean you see different colored halos around people?
Elio: More precisely, it's a layer of light that covers them from head to toe, making it impossible for me to see their faces.
Doctor: And the whole world is gray?
Elio: Yes, Doctor, how did you know?
Doctor: This halo, does it have three colors: red, green, and gold?
Elio: Wow, a miracle doctor!
The doctor chuckled and ordered a blood test for him. Elio, who was hesitating whether to go for the blood test, watched as two burly red-clad men suddenly walked through the half-closed door behind the doctor.
Elio: Uh, Doctor, these two—
Doctor: You might not see clearly, so I specially called two security guards to accompany you.
Elio: Doctor, you're truly a good person. But I just wanted to say, they look red. …Wait, Doctor, why are you turning red too?
*Note before reading*: 1. The main text may contain hints of the protagonist's multiple emotional relationships (note: only hints), but they will not be detailed. The main text has a no-CP ending. There will be a special extra chapter for Assassins & Templars.
2. There is a mix of multiple works + timeline alteration. It's okay if you haven't read them; I will annotate necessary details in the author's notes.
3. Original Assassin, Templar, and minor characters will appear.
**By the way, here's a recommendation for my next integrated US/UK fanfiction involving Assassin's Creed, DC, and more~ "[Integrated US/UK] Do You Also Have a Dual Identity?"
Whether as a criminology student or a member of the secret Assassin Brotherhood, Julian believed his investigation in Bludhaven was going smoothly. But no matter what, he still encountered several fuzzy, big, or small problems.
Big problems included the city's superhero, "Nightwing," always mysteriously appearing near his nocturnal activity spots, driving the assassin crazy. Small problems included his dear boyfriend, Officer Grayson, somehow being incredibly busy, always disappearing even during off-duty hours, which was quite suspicious.
Julian would talk to them properly sooner or later. Of course, the assassin would talk to Nightwing, and Julian would talk to Grayson. As a person with a dual identity, Julian always thought he managed his double life very well.
But what Julian didn't know was that his provisional conversation targets were not two, but one. Bludhaven's superhero and star police officer were the same person. He was also racking his brains to maintain his dual identity, and it wouldn't be long before Nightwing discovered that his boyfriend/Bludhaven's newly emerging hooded assassin was the same person.
As for whether they will cordially greet each other with "What a coincidence, you also have a dual identity?" or tacitly come to blows, we do not know.
