Distressed

ch 22; the missing piece

A few days have passed since the day there Michael grabbed Amadeus from the street and locked him into the storehouse.
The exhausted boy sits on the floor by a pillar with chains around the waist, arms and the pillar.
At first he was hoping someone would find him. But for every hour who passed, he stops believing more and more, anyone would find him.
Right now the situation feels very hopeless.
Even though Micheal seems having a hard time with finding a solution to transform Amadeus, it will not take any long time before he has found one. Someone clever as Micheal will certainly solve the problem.

Micheal stands hastily up from the chair and pushes the table angrily in same movement.
"Gwaaah-... Why can't I find the last part in the equation?!" He grunts while the table thudded loudly with glass smashing into pieces.
Amadeus flinches.
The sound from the heels on Amadeus's shoes, rubbing on the floor while he flinched makes Micheal looking at him.
The young man gulps.
"I-..." Amadeus starts saying trembling with his heart pounding loudly.
Micheal starts walking against him and kneels down in front him there he grabbed Amadeus's sweater.
"If you know the missing piece, I would appreciate if you could tell me..."
Amadeus shakes his head swiftly. Even though he would know, he wouldn't tell Micheal.
   And despite his heart pounds of fear, he can't stop looking pleading at Micheal. Begging him to love him as he used to. Being his old self whom Amadeus liked.
Micheal snorts.
"Not like you would tell me even if you knew..." he scoffs and starts standing up and letting go of Amadeus.
The boy gasps.
"Wait!..." he says.
Micheal raises an eyebrow.
"Yes? Do you perhaps know the missing piece anyway?"
Amadeus shakes his head.
"No but-... Please-... Untie me... I will not run away... I promise. My body is sore and I'm thirsty"
Micheal narrows the eyes while eyeing him. Not sure if he can trust him.
He exhales softly.
"I'm not a fool Amadeus... You will certainly try something if I takes the chains of you..."
"NO!" Amadeus answers a slightly quickly. Which makes him looking more suspicious.
The boy swallows hardly.
"I mean-... What would I be able to do while you are here? ... It's not like I could call someone... You have already taken my phone and threw it away..." he explains with his voice trembling a little. Getting a slightly bad conscience over the new phone Tony gave him, not long ago.
   A few seconds was Micheal only staring at him in silence. Then he sighs and takes the small key up from the pocket of his black leather coat.
The black haired man with shoulder long hair kneels down one more time and starts unlocking the chains.

Amadeus smiles gently and looks grateful into Michael's ice blue eyes who seem a slightly nervous over the situation.
"Thanks..."
Micheal starts standing up which Amadeus starts doing shortly after him as well.
The taller man starts reaching a hand out after Amadeus's. But a few seconds later he dropped the hand and clears the throat while looking away.
"So... You were thirsty?"
The tinier boy blinks asking while looking up at Micheal.
"Uhm... If you have anything I could drink here, then I would gladly take it..."
"Yes, give me a second..." Micheal says and starts taking few steps away with his body facing halfway to him. As he wasn't completely comfortable with turning the back to Amadeus. Afraid he would run away the second he hadn't the other's eyes on him.
Micheal froze and turns back to Amadeus who looks confused back at him.
"Something wr-..." Amadeus starts asking before Micheal swiftly walks back to him and yanked his arm.
"Follow me-..." Micheal says and pulled Amadeus with him.
"Wha?!" Amadeus stumbles confused after him.

"Here" Micheal says and hands over a plastic bottle he had taken up from the sport bag in the corner of the room.
Amadeus parts the lips a slightly while exhaling and looking asking down at the water.
"... Thanks..." he says while taking the bottle. Despite he would rather have a soda, he is still very grateful for the water.
Few seconds later he had pulled the cap of the bottle and starts drinking from it.
The water strokes gently over the tongue down to the throat while he swallows. It seems there are a little sparkle in the water. But not enough to take over the flavor. But enough to be noticeable.
Amadeus looks asking at Micheal who has the arms crossed while tapping a nervous finger on the other arm.
The shorter young man lowered the bottle while a little water runs in the corner of the mouth down to the chin.
"Micheal..." he says softly while stroking the back of the hand from the mouth down to the chin. Rubbing the water off from the skin.
"Yes?" Micheal jolts and looks asking at him while untangling the arms.
Amadeus inhales deeply to find the slightest courage he currently has, then he exhales sighing and smiles at him.
"Can't you stop with the foolishness? Let me out of here and I will pretend this never happened in first place... And I can assure you, I will completely drop Flash in every way... Even as friend and idol..."
Micheal raises an eyebrow whose end splits into two ends. There one end goes a slightly upward while the second goes in the normal direction.
"And?... What would happen with us?" He asks curiously and stares doubtfully at him.
Amadeus shrugs smiling.
"Well-... We will finish our school project and win... There we also would turn you back to normal..." he starts explaining.
Micheal snorts.
"I'm not talking about the school... I want to know what would happen between you and me... If we would date or anything..."
Amadeus swallows nervously and looks shyly down while scratching the neck. Starting to clear the throat few times.
"I-...I could talk with daddy and try getting him to chill down and let me date you... Not like I would let him control my decisions... B-but-... It would be awesome if I don't have to keep you as a secret..." he gulps blushing. Already knowing Wade would get very upset and would literally blow the head off any man who tries dating his son.
Micheal smiles genuinely and extends a hand against Amadeus's face to stroke his cheek.
"Oh-... Amade-..." he starts saying softly before he gasps while flinching the hand away.
"Eh?" Amadeus looks asking up at him. Noticing how Micheal seems being in deep thoughts.
"Micheal? What's wrong?" He asks worried.
The long haired man grins.
"Tell me again Amadeus..."
Amadeus tilts the head asking.
" ...Wasn't it you whom-... Who had two daddies?"
"Y-yes?" Amadeus raises an eyebrow.
"There neither of them were trans?"
The slender boy starts eyeing Micheal curiously. What does he tries getting out of this?
"Yes?... That's right... Why do you ask?"
Micheal shakes the head. As he has been a fool and it wasn't until now, everything fell in place.
"I'm so stupid... I should have paid more attention to that part..." he mumbles while walking a few steps before kneeling down by the bag and taking up something from there.
"About what?..." Amadeus gulps hardly and starts getting bad feeling about this.
Micheal walks back to Amadeus and grabs the back of his hand.
"It's you..." the Gothic man says with his eyes gazing into Amadeus's.
"Me?" Amadeus asks before Micheal with fast movement cut Amadeus's palm with a knife.
"Gah-..." he flinches of pain and dropped the opened water bottle who thudded on the floor with water splashing on the ground.

Micheal starts walking over to the cage with few bats inside who squeaks in high-pitched sounds the moment he is by them.
"Yes-... You are the missing piece I have tried finding these last days... The bat who bit me, had fed on your blood... At first I didn't thought about that...Didn't thought a little blood would be any important since they have been feeding on my blood too... But now... It's so obvious... There are no way two normal men could get a child together... Through natural ways of course.... So-... Obviously is at least Peter not someone normal... And since your grandpa is iron man while you are iron spider-... My best guess would be... Peter is the spider-man whom disappeared years ago... So... Your blood is obviously not normal-... Which may have been the reason that bat could turn me to the one I am now..." Micheal says while holding the knife inside the cage there the bats could lick the blood of its blade.
Amadeus stares shocked at his back. How can Micheal know so much about him? Yeah-... Everyone know who Iron-man is; since Tony couldn't keep his identity a secret. But how could Micheal even guess who his papa was?
"I-... I don't know W-what Y-you are talking A-about..." he stutters.
Micheal snorts and glares at him over the shoulder.
"And now you are lying again-... It seems I really can't trust you as you are..." he says monotonous.
Amadeus parts the lips and shakes the head slowly. He has never seen Michael like this. It's like it isn't him anymore. Or it is. At least Sometimes. Sometimes small fragments of himself seems popping up from time to time. Telling Amadeus the man behind the beast is still there.
Amadeus gets a frown while freezing. Did he really started comparing Micheal with the beast from 'Beauty and the beast' !? ... Then... Does that mean he is seeing himself as the Beauty!?... Why is he such a weirdo from time to time?! It must be Wade's fault! Yeah, it's probably his daddy's fault for making him a weirdo.
And it doesn't help with him getting hard of Micheal right now... Wait!? Did he really got hard?...
Amadeus gulps and held the injured hand in the other, with them covering his crotch. For yes, it seems he somehow have been very excited.
And no way he would let Micheal know... There are no way a normal person would get all excited and flushed from being kidnapped and wounded....
