Brooklyn Kidnapped: Revenge

Chapter 26

The next night after Brooklyn had woken up, he felt better than he did in days; and hardly any bad dreams from Thailog. Hudson was there to say good morning.

"Good mornin,' Lad. I trust ye feeling better?" He asked with a gentle smile. Brooklyn remembered his defeat of Thailog in his head, and grinned.

"I believe so, Hudson. Feel much better," he stated, stretching, as well. He felt a little achy, but no headaches or nausea bothered him at all.

Hudson then gave him a hug after that. Brooklyn accepted it, tears of happiness coming down.

"We're all proud of ye for being able to face Thailog, Lad. The clan will be happy to see ye." Brooklyn nodded. He knew now that his clan would never abandon him.

Sato then allowed Goliath and the others in to see Brooklyn. Broadway and Lex gave their brother a bit of a reunion hug, happy to have their brother back to normal again. Brook also grinned up at his leader, Goliath, who nodded at him.

"Brooklyn, we've been thinking of giving you a celebration before you go out with us patrolling again. How about it?" Angela suggested. Brook's eyes brightened, though he looked rather awkward.

"Um, you really don't need to fuss over me that much..." he said. Lexington smiled at him.

"It's the least we can do after everything you've been through." He pleaded. After a bit, he nodded. A party did sound nice.

...

After a couple more days of bed rest, Brook was allowed out of bed for good this time. He walked around the castle during the time his clan was getting ready for the party.

But then he spotted Broadway out on the balcony. His face looked a little guilty. Brooklyn knew what this look meant. He sighed, stepping over to him.

"You okay?" he asked Broadway. Broadway turned around. He had still been feeling guilty. Despite Hudson and Goliath saying it wasn't his fault, he just needed to say it again.

"Brooklyn. I know you've heard me say this before, but- but I'm still so sorry about what had happened, allowing you to be taken—!" He said in a sad tone, but Brooklyn then ended up hugging him.

"Stop blaming yourself, Broadway. Hudson and Goliath are right. It was hard for us to know what those humans would do, but I'm home and not dead. It's all fine, and Thailog is now finally gone. I never blamed you at all during my time as a prisoner."

Broadway's heart then began to feel lighter. It made him happy to hear his brother saying he didn't blame him, hugging the red gargoyle back. The brothers remained there for a bit, then broke apart.

"Come on, maybe you can plan on what food the party should have tonight. How about it?" Brooklyn asked after they broke apart. Broadway nodded, the two of them walking back inside.

Broadway went to the kitchen to start preparing food for the party. The clan's closest friends were also coming to help celebrate Brooklyn's recovery.

Hudson also had a surprise for the red Second. He was going to be allowed to go gliding with them all later too. It wasn't patrol, just going out on the town for fun this night. But if trouble was spotted, the clan wouldn't hesitate to take baddies down. It was their purpose.

The Mutates and other clones soon showed up for the party too. Talon and Maggie felt bad that what had happened to Brooklyn had happened, but were glad that he was safe and well again, much like his old self. But there would always be some part of him that was changed, permanently.

Maggie gladly went up to Brooklyn and gave him a welcome back hug. He accepted her hug and hugged back. He knew she would never be his mate, but he still enjoyed being friends.
