Free-Fall: Vigilante Tommyinnit AU

《CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE》

Small Warning: A bit of a graphic description of illness, mentioned torture and kidnapping. Also implied DNF (dreamnotfound), because yes.

George(NotFound) POV-

I didn't like this. I didn't want this to happen.

"George, it's all coming together!", Dream shouted, I looked at him as he stretched his arms out, gesturing to the large racks, filled with vials of red venom 

"I've enhanced it- or well, more like those guys, cant remember their names, did", Dream said, "Their names are Deo, Luke and Bitzel", I reminded, he waved me off, "right, right", I looked at that rows filled with the dangerous red substance, "This isn't right", I whispered quietly, Dream snapped his head towards me, "what do you mean? Of course it is, this is a complete breakthrough in how our bodies can react to different powers! George! This is amazing!", He went on with his rant, "Listen- Toby couldn't handle the XD disease, no one could, expect for Tommy ! You know why?", "Dream-", "Because he's inhumanly stubborn! He didn't have a power, there was no trace of one!", Dream laughed, "I know, it sounds like im insulting him, but im not, im really not,  it's just- Tommy was so stubborn, he wouldn't accept defeat, hell, he's so stubborn, it might make him immortal", "I don't get it!", I yelled, "What is your obsession with him?!", Dream smiled wider, "I wish I had known about him sooner, with how Phil treated him, it would have been much easier to get him on my side, he's so powerless but so powerful at the same time", I shook my head, "Why are you suddenly getting cold feet about this? I went through so much trouble for you  George, the least you could do is be grateful-" he reached his hand out to me and I smacked it away, "George, listen to me-", "I didn't ask you to give me this power, I didn't ask you to risk so much for me, you idiot", Dream scowled, "your the one who would constantly complain about feeling useless! I just wanted to help you! I just wanted to make it better!", "I just felt left out! I didn't want you to- to do this!", I yelled, "You ruined so many lives", I spat, "You kidnapped  a child  Dream! You tortured him! Tortured so many people! How can you just stand there and think what you did was right?? For some stupid power!", Dream didn't speak.

"I- just wanted you to be happy", I faltered at that, letting my clenched fists fall at my sides , "This  doesn't make me happy", I whispered, "What you did doesn't make me happy, how I got this power doesn't make me happy"

Dream POV-

'he's in the way', 'he isn't grateful', 'he's not worth it'

I bit my tongue, "George-", I whispered. It was almost like a wave that was crashing over me.  Knowing that no matter what I said now, it would never ever matter, because it had finally occurred to me that he was right. 

What am I doing?

The words didn't come out. The power I knew I had was intoxicating and apologies died in my throat and my guilt became anger and denial, "If your not happy, then leave", I spat, my hands balled into fists at my sides, George stepped back, and his jawline clenched, "Fine ", and he rushed out of the room, leaving me standing there, and I regretted everything.

"What are you doing?", I turned around, a tall man in a cobalt blue sweater looked at me, his expression unreadable, "You better go after him. Better fix the mistakes now before they escalate and ruin you more than they already have", "Bitzel, right?", he raised an eyebrow, "that's my name", I looked to where George had left, "Dont overthink it", Bitzel said, and I ran after George.
