"Where is she?!" Ethan roars.

"Probably still resting. I seem to have tired her out, we were a little busy last night." Karl calmly releases a puff of smoke. The blond visibly stiffens. "You know how it is," he shrugs a bare shoulder. "Humans. Such fragile little things."

Ethan's jaw clenches. "You-"

"Stop arguing." The soft voice has the men looking up. Scraps of metal levitate to create a series of steps for you to descend, and once you reach the bottom, you fold your arms beneath your chest.

"[Y/n]."

"What are you doing here, Ethan?"

"I came to take you home." He looks away from the oversized shirt hiding your body, pushing the fact that it's evidently Karl's to the back of his mind.

You chuckle incredulously. "Take me home? But this is my home."

"Don't be stupid. This isn't your home."

"It is now. Karl made it a home."

"Heisenberg is dangerous." Ethan glares at the man beside you. Karl merely rolls his eyes. "He's a monster, he's not capable of love. Clearly he got in your head."

"So persuasive," you muse.

"[Y/n]," his tone hardens. "Stop being stubborn and come with me."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here where I belong."

"What do you even see in him?"

"He cares about me. I'm the only person in the world he gives a damn about and if you think I'm walking away from that you're mistaken."

"Oh don't be so foolish! I'm your brother, I made a promise to protect you. If I have to drag you out of here I will. One way or another I'm bringing you back with me."

"You'll have a hard time doing that."

"If I have to kill him I will."

"You'll also have a hard time doing that," Karl puffs out another cloud of smoke. "Look, she clearly doesn't want to leave with you so you know," he shrugs calmly, "leave."

"I'm not leaving my sister here with you."

"You don't have a choice."

"Don't I?" He raises his gun and you sigh.

"Ethan don't."

"What is that supposed to do?" Karl drops his cigar and stomps on it. "You think your bullets can harm me?" He chuckles deeply.

"Karl." You warn when a knife hovers above his palm. "Walk away, Ethan. If you leave now without an unnecessary fight, what we have will remain. I'll still be here, I'll still be your sister, nothing could ever change that. But if you do something stupid..."

"I don't trust him."

"You don't have to. You just have to trust me." Karl and Ethan stare at one another. You roll your eyes at the masculinity. It's almost suffocating. Especially with your brother evidently attempting to appear bigger and failing miserably. Bless him.

"If you hurt her-"

"You'll cut my dick off, yeah yeah, blah blah."

He shakes his head, lowering his gun. "I have business to take care of. But I'll be back." He warns and storms back the way he came.

You exhale. "Was I too harsh?"

"Not in the slightest."

"I didn't mean to push him away."

"He's persistent, you couldn't push him away if you tried."

A chuckle escapes you, "you have a point."

"Now, where were we?" You yelp in surprise when metal binds your wrists above your head. The man grinning with pride at your shocked face.
