Addicted to Love 2: Five x Zero

9- Holding Out For A Hero

Song that makes me think of this chapter-
"Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler

Five's POV:

When we get there it is completely silent... too silent.... "Klaus where is she?!?" I whisper to him and he points, "3rd floor room 7C...." he replies back and I start to quickly head up... Luther, Diego and Klaus follow behind me...but I'm stopped my the sound of a gun clicking... "Oh Five... your so predictable... coming to save your girl..." It's Cha Cha... she steps forward, "Where's Hazel?" I ask... honestly I'm quite curious... she scuffs looking disgusted "He left this one up to me, he didn't want to see his friend die." He mocks him at the end & I tilt my head at her... Hazel & I were never friends.... "Funny I don't recall being friends with either of you.." she laughs at this and steps closer to me, "Not with you, Zero was his partner for a month after she got a month of brainwashing...." I feel my body freeze... 2 months? For her it has been two months?!? "Weird thing is she was lightning before we showed up at your place... her eyes were black and everything..." Cha Cha looks puzzled as she recalls Lighting... I shake my head replying honestly to her "Now that I actually don't how or why..." I swear she smiles a tad at me.... shit I forgot this is wasting time... Maybe I can talk to Zero??? I try to talk to her in her head... I can sense her aura but it's small,
like a little match instead of it's usual sunshine..." Zero are you there?" I ask in my mind quickly... as Cha Cha notices my brothers and starts yelling at them to get in line with me... silence.... "come on Zero I just need you to hold on for me... show me a sign anything!"... but nothing happens... I sigh as I worriedly look down at my ring quickly, it's switching between dark purple and black... fuck that's not good.... just then music starts blasting on the speakers.... "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler... I can't help but smile.... that's my girl... I chuckle as the lyrics begin playing...

"He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero "

Such a flirt....even when she's in trouble.... an opportunity never passes her by... I love you Zero.... I'm coming....."What the hell is that music!" Cha Cha yell as she looks up, I take the opportunity to jump on her back.... Diego picks up his knife and quickly throws it at her leg... she yells out in pain as I snatch her gun and hit her in the head with it knocking her out cold... I smile up listening to the lyrics

"It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet"

I'm on my way Zero.... with that I teleport up the stairs quickly hearing my brothers follow me running up the stairs, when I reach the door it's open already... I'm afraid of what I'm going to see.... I run in and see Zero covered in blood, whip marks, strangled around her throat and a gunshot wound to her chest.... there's also some lady here on the floor tied up but she is breathing... Zero I can't tell if she's breathing... she looks bad.... really hurt.... fuck Zero you can't leave me now....I teleport over to her cutting her ties as I try and feel her pulse... "Come on Zero!" I whisper at her as I take a flower from her hair and place it gently into her mouth.... but nothing happens.. damn it! It's cause her aura is already gone... then I remember I have her aura! I kiss her gently on the lips feeling energy move through me... thank god for that connection....I hear her gasp as I pull away, she smiles weakly at me, her eyes a dark purple....she whispers "My Hero..." in my ear as I feel her lips kiss my cheek softly....then her eyes flutter shut again... but this time I can feel her heartbeat... I sigh in relief and feel tears on my cheeks... I didn't even know I was crying...

"Oh no!" Klaus comes running in towards me "She's alive Klaus... barely but she's a fighter.." I tell him and he walks over me as I am holding her bridal style....he gently strokes her hair... "She's amazing Five" he whispers as he moves his hands to one of her lotuses... huh, she must have gave him a flower...I smile up at him slightly, as I am about to ask but then the other two come crashing in... "PATCH!" I hear Diego scream as he falls down to untie the woman, she breaths deep as she looks at him... Diego inspects her bullet wound... "How? how are you alive?!?" He asks shakily... Patch is too weak but I see her eyes turn to Zero... "Her" she whispers out and Diego's eyes go wide as he looks at me eyes wide....he is grateful I can tell as his eyes shot from Zero back to me.... he doesn't know what to say but I already know because his eyes say it for him.....

Zero you really are making a good first impression on my family.... by quite literally saving their asses....Patch closes her eyes and Diego lifts her up... I follow him down the stairs with Zero in my arms... we don't speak on the way home... I'm too focused on Zero & to my surprise Klaus is as well.... he sits next to me in the car with her legs in his lap and her head is in mine.... I can feel that Klaus cares for her too now.... I wonder what they have gone through together.... who knows what Hazel & Cha Cha did to them... they are commission employees, and what we do is ruthless.... I shake my head as I continue to watch as she breathes shakily in and out... I'm scared if I stop watching her breath she will stop..... Diego is focused on Patch, which makes me wonder.... are they together???.... thankfully Luther drives in silence, he can probably sense the tension in the car.... We just need to get them back so we can help them.... some hero I am.... I left her for a whole night being tortured....I think you are more of the Hero than I am my sunshine....
