Oli and V

Part 1

Hi, my name is Oli, and I guess this is what I'm gonna be doing from now on. You could call it my diary, journal, I really don't care. I just had nothing else to do. I'm roommates with my friend, who goes by "V". He's my best friend. He's gay and has a boyfriend named Alex, but I don't like him. I am 6 feet tall and I like to wear a black tank top with a skull in the middle. I usually wear a black jean jacket with black jeans. I wear a chain with the jeans and I have a skull charm that's on it. I have black platform shoes that are about 3 or 4 inches. V is about 5'4 and he wears a lot of yellow. Usually, it's a T-shirt with a cute design on it, and shorts. He wears a lot of crocks and I have never seen him without a pair. I have black hair that ends at the middle of my back with a white streak that covers my right eye. I also have gages  in my ears, not the huge ones but not the small ones. V has brown hair and big horns coming from the top of his forehead, with really big elf ears. In this world almost everyone has powers. Yep, it's one of those stories. V has the power to create any sized discs from his body. He says it takes a lot of energy to create these discs. My power is that I can create anything from my blood, like swords and shields. If I mix my blood with water I can control that water as well, it's really cool. I am one of those rare occasions where I got two powers. Though nobody knows about it except my parents, heck, they're the ones I inherited it from! Anyway, I work as one of those hero's you would read in comics as a kid. V is a male stripper. I protect him from people who try to come after him at work, sometimes I work part time as a bouncer at his club when I'm not working as a hero. It was about 8:00am and I had to patrol at 9:00am and make sure everything was ok until 5:00pm. Then I was going to go to work with V and make sure people don't try to assault him. I got up to get ready because I don't think you can do hero work with sponge bob boxers on. I took a shower and put on a black tank top and my boxers and headed to my room. Alex walked out of V's room and only had loose shorts on. "Can you please at least put on a shirt?" I asked. "Well why should I?" Alex asked. He was drunk again. "Well shit. Whatever just be gone by the time my shift starts" I said walking past him to my room, it was across from V's and I put on my jeans and my longer jacket that goes down to my knees, it has jagged grey trim on the bottom and was black the neck part was up to my cheek. I put on my black high tops. I yawned and put my hair in a ponytail, leaving the white part to cover my eye. I put on an eye patch just in case my hair couldn't cover my right eye. I went to V's room. "Hi Oli, how are you?" He asked excitedly. "Wassup, by the was Alex was acting I'm guessing he wanted-" he cut me off "yep, he wanted sex but I told him I'm not ready yet" His smile weakened. "Are you ok?" I asked, walking up to him. "Ya know, for how intimidating you look you're really nice" he said. "Haha, yea i get that a lot" I smiled as I sat on his bed. "You got your knee pads?" He asked " they're built into my jeans. I can't not forget them" I chuckled, "What about your elbow-" I interrupted him "built into my jacket" I said again. "What about your gloves?" He asked, "you know I lost those" I said "oh really?" He said holding them up. "Haha funny, I bet I left them In your room" I said putting on my fingerless gloves, can you guess the color? "I got you a gift," V said as he shoved his hand under his pillow. "Oh yea? Better not have been anything big, I have to go in like 15 minutes" I laughed and sat up. He pulled out a set of four pride pins. "Damn, you got rainbow ones and pan ones, thanks dude" I went to grab them, "I want to put them on your jacket!" I sighed and let him put the pins on. One of the rainbow ones went on my left and the other on my right, with the pan one under the right and the bi one under the left. "Thanks, I should get going. But I appreciate it" I said getting up, "it is pride month after all!" He called after me. "Just make sure to get enough sleep for tonight!" I yelled back before going out the door. I walked out of the apartment and went down the stairs. I'm glad we're only on the second floor. I got my keys and went to my motorcycle. It was black with little brown bags in the back where I keep extra blood containers. I hopped on and put on my helmet. I headed down to my agency. I may only be 20 but I somehow made myself successful in this small town. I walked in the big glass doors and greeted my receptionist, "how are you going today daisy?" I asked "I'm doing alright Mr.Bloodlock, how are you?" Daisy asked, smiling at me. "I'm doing good this morning, thanks'' I walked past her to the elevator and clicked the second floor button. I got off and headed to my office. I went to my desk and sat down. I opened the drawer to my left and got out my voice changer. "Good Morning Bloodlock '' Sophia said "Goodmorning Sophia '' I said and put the voice changer on the desk. "Ready to go patrol?" I asked and put the voice changer in my mouth, it looked like a retainer so that's what I usually call it. "Ready as I'll ever be Mr.Bloodlock." Sophia said with a smile. "Ya know you can drop the "Mr." right Sophie?" I said. Sophia is a girl that's about 5'4 and has brown, shoulder length hair. And a black shoulder-less shirt that shows her stomach. With greenish black short shorts and green high tops. Her power is that she can make any plant come from her body at any time, depending on how much energy she has and how much food she eats. She has little brown bags that hang from her waist and one that is at her thigh. Her hero name is "planter" you can see why. She just turned 17 and she's working with me as a summer internship. She's really good at her job and knows a lot. I still don't get why she chose me for her internship and not someone more popular. "Did you get more piercings?" Sophia asked, looking up at me. "Oh I forgot, the ones under my lip. They are called snakebites. They are still healing or I would have taken them out like all my normal piercings" I explained as we headed to walk around town. "Do you have the radios?" I asked when we got to the end of the street. She pulled them out of the bag on her thigh, "yep" she responded "thanks" I said taking one. I flipped it to the emergency hotline, so if 911 got a call they would tell me how bad it is. After 30 minutes of walking around town we got a serious call. " possible kidnapping in progress, an 11 year old boy about 2 minutes from where we were. Sophia and I started sprinting. "We're on it. Bloodlock and Planter are on the way" I yelled into the radio. I bit my hand and sent my blood to the boy. We turned the corner and this bald man was trying to wrestle this boy into his car. "Get the boy! I got the man!" I yelled at Sophia. "Got it!" She said, She stopped and sent her plants into the ground and I bit the side of my cheek and let the blood flow into my mouth. I jumped full force onto the man. He fell on his back and let go of the boy. I was on top of him and was trying to restrain him. "Get the fuck off me punk!" He yelled and punched me in the stomach. I spit the blood on his chest. "Gross! What the hell!" He yelled as I punched him in the face. I forced my blood to tie his hands and feet together. The blood I sent out earlier had turned into spikes and one was under his chin with the spike resting on it. The other was at his throat. I sighed and got off of him. I walked over to the boy who was trying not to cry next to Sophia. I nodded at her and she went to tell the police to come. The boy had white wings and he had short, white feathered hair. He had red eyes. "Are you ok? Are you injured anywhere?" I asked and got down on one knee to face him. "N-no" he said. He looked scared. "What's your name?" I asked. "N-Nolan" he shuddered. "My name is Oli, but don't tell anyone" I smiled "wanna hear something funny?" I asked. He nodded. I handed him a remote. "Press any button, '' I said. "What does it do?" He asked. "You'll find out, just press one." He nodded and pressed one. "Nice choice" I said. My voice got very high. I sounded like a squirrel on helium. "Should I do the rest of the report like this?" I asked. He giggled "yes" he said "okay, but please stay beside me at all times" I said and got up. He held my hand as I walked up to the police. I told them my report, but there was a problem at the end. "So this boy here, Nolan, his parents died in a car crash yesterday and had been on the run since, he needs a place to stay" the officer said as he looked at Sophia and I. " I guess I will take him, I have to work tonight though" I responded. "As long as he has a place to sleep" the officer said writing on his clipboard, my voice suddenly got deeper "you ok with that buddy?" I asked Nolan. He nodded and smiled in response. "You're relieved from hero duty for the rest of the day, both of you are," the officer said. We finished the paperwork and headed home. I walked into the door to hear the sound of crying. "Stay here Nolan" I said and went to the noise. I grabbed the biggest knife I could find along the way. It was coming from V's room. I opened the door and saw Alex trying to rape V. Alex was naked trying to undress V. "Nolan! Cover your eyes!" I yelled out the door. I grabbed Alex and threw him out the front door. I must have thrown him too hard because he hit the other wall. "Wait-" he tried to come back in the house but I slammed the door in his face and locked it. I went over to V, who was still crying. "Hey, are you ok? Do you need anything are you hurt anywhere?" I asked. He shirt was off. "N-no I'm ok. Could you maybe get me some water?" He asked through sobs. "Yea, I will definitely do that for you. I have a surprise though. So come out when you're ready." I said and got him a glass of water. I went back to Nolan who was still standing by the door. I got him a glass of water and said "make yourself comfortable, my roommate will be out to meet you in a minute. What's your favorite TV show?" I said and led him to the couch. I gave him the remote and sat down next to him. He turned on a popular kids show and we watched about 15 minutes of it when V came out. While V and Nolan chatted I went to change into my street clothes. I put on a T-shirt with my favorite band and some shorts. Before I realized it, it was 6. "We might wanna get ready since work is at 9" I said. "Yea sure, I'll get my bag" he said with a sad smile. I walked after him "are you sure you wanna go to work? I can fill in for you" I said. I was in no way prepared to fill in as a stripper, I said it to try to help. "Is it ok if we switch places today?" He asked. I panicked. "Sure yea. I have no experience though" I said "since we're going an hour early I'll teach you." He said happily. I felt my face go hot. "But what would I wear?" I asked. He made me try on one of his outfits. It was pretty much a black speedo with lace running down my legs and black lacy sleeves. It was all black. He made me put on boots that ended above my knee. "Are you sure about this?" I asked. I felt so exposed and embarrassed. "Yea, when we get there I'll show you the moves I normally do and we will figure it out from there" he said. He was blushing as he looked at me. I put clothes over it and took my hair out of my ponytail. He handed me a bag and we headed out. "Dinners in the fridge, you can eat anything, just not the beer in the fridge" I said pointing at him. We drove to the club in V's car. We got there and greeted the bouncer. "Hey Tim," I said with a shaky smile. "You gonna join me tonight?" Tim asked. "No not tonight..." I said and quickly went into the club. V led me to the back room, where the people get changed and get their makeup on. It had a bunch of mirrors and chairs in the back. V explained that everyone had their own desk and mirror. He led me to his desk. He sat me down and did my eye makeup, he said he did a black smokey eye. And gave me a black mask. I looked at him confused. "It's so people don't know Bloodlock is a stripper?" He laughed. It was just long enough to reach my chest and it had a white flower pattern on it. I got undressed and put on my boots. They were really big, black, high fricken heeled boots. I don't know how people walk in those things. I stumbled around while trying to walk. V, who was much smaller than me now, helped. They have practice poles in the back to practice on those as more people started coming in to get ready. Just as I started to get the hang of it. V said it was almost time to go out and greet people. I met some of the other strippers as well. One was named Maxwell, or Max, He was Asian. Then there was Thomas, he was like me except he had a lot of blue on. There was Ben, he was dark skinned and looked muscular. I can't describe their outfits too much because I was embarrassed. "Are you bloodlock?" Ben asked and came up to me. This dude was an inch or two taller than me. I nodded and looked up at him. "You're gonna get noticed really quick, let me help" he said, then he grabbed the white part of my hair and tucked it under the black part of my hair. I covered my eye when he moved the white tuft of hair. V handed me a black bandana and I covered my eye with it. "You guys ready?" Thomas asked. We all said yes and followed him out onto the stages. I got one of the poles in the back, because I'm new, and Max got the main stage. It was a very weird experience, to say the least. After an hour or two they moved me up to the main stage because I was "just doing so good"I think their fucking with me but whatever. After we were done with everything. We had to pick up all the money people threw at us. V did the rest, I just followed him around when we were done dancing. "Damn Oli! You made a fuck ton of money" V said as I handed him about a thousand Walmart bags full of cash. They had a money counter that we were allowed to use after Ben. We sorted the money into hundreds and V said I made 523 dollars. "Cool, thanks for doing all the work after" I said to V. He stared at me. His face turned red and he looked away. "You know you can change right?" He looked embarrassed. I went and changed into my normal clothes and came back to see him talking to Thomas. It was about 1:00 in the morning and I was tired. "Can we go home now?" I asked. "Yea, sure" V said with a smile. "Before you leave, let me fix your hair," Ben said, coming up behind me. He pulled the white part of my hair out of the black part. I took off the bandana and gave it back to V. "Thanks for letting me use the bandana," I said. "Sure thing, let's go now" V said, leading me to the car. We arrived to see Nolan passed out on the couch. I brought him to my bed and covered him up with blankets. "Huh? O-Oli?" He muttered. "Shh go to sleep" I whispered and walked out. I looked out the window and it was storming, I thought nothing of it and went to sleep on the couch. I woke up to the tornado alarm going off. I looked at the microwave and it was about 4 in the morning. I heard crying next door and knew it was my neighbor's kids. I got up and opened V's door. "V! Wake up! Get Nolan and go to the safe room downstairs, I'm going to help the neighbors." I yelled. He woke up with a start. Shirtless and in my boxers I went to the neighbor. She was a single mom with five kids. Two were toddlers. One was ten and one was twelve. And one Was a baby. I told the twelve and ten year old to go downstairs with V. I grabbed the toddlers and the mom had the baby before we left she got her cat. We ran downstairs and opened the big door. I saw V, Nolan, Trixy (the twelve year old) and Max (the eleven year old), and a bunch of other people. I made sure the toddlers and the mother, cat, and baby were inside before I shut the door again. I sighed, there was no light. I found V and gave him four taps on the shoulder. He knew what to do. He gave me a small disk, about the size of a plate. I grabbed a knife from my pocket and slit my thigh. I made a round webb around the top of the disk. "Does anyone have a lighter?" I asked. Someone gave me one and I set the web on fire. The children gathered around my creation as I made little fire creatures dance around and created a play from the fire using my blood. After about an hour and a half the alarms turned off. I opened the door and made sure everyone was out, "where's Nolan?" I asked V, "I saw him come down with me so he must be in here somewhere" V answered. I used my leftover blood to search the place. I found him in a corner in the furthest part of the room. I left V to go to Nolan. "Hey are you ok?" I asked, walking up to him. His wings shot above him, fully extended. And his hair started going up like an angry cat, his teeth and nails were sharp when he hissed at me. He looked at me with pure hatred. I went up and hugged Nolan, after I backed away and held his head in my hands. "Nolan what happens? Why are your wings dirty? Did someone do something?" I berated him with questions. He held my hand on his cheek and started to cry. I was on my knees and I pulled him in for a hug as he cried into my shoulder. I picked him up as he hugged me tightly. I went to V and mouthed I'll tell you later. He gave me a thumbs up. We walked up to our apartment. I put Nolan on the couch and I sat down next to him. "Are you comfortable enough to tell me now?" I asked. He nodded. "S-some kids and their parents were calling me names, and one kid's dad hurt me" he sobbed. I started shaking with rage. "Do you remember what this kid and his dad looked like?" I asked. "Um, I think t-the kid had a bowl cut, and the dad had a bunch of tattoos" he responded. I knew who he was talking about. "V!" I yelled. "What do you want?" He responded. "Can you please get my red pill?" I asked. I heard him walk to the bathroom. "What's the red pill?" Nolan asked, after he calmed down a little. "It makes my blood count double when I swallow it, it works surprisingly fast" I said as V handed me the pill, "thanks" I said as I swallowed it. I already felt the effects as it went down my throat. I went to the kitchen and took my shirt off. I grabbed a knife and stabbed myself multiple times in the back. I put on a tank top and my jacket, I collected a pool of blood inside my jacket. "Ok Nolan, want to go on a mission with me?" I asked, his eyes lit up. "Yea! Where are we going?" He asked. I held his hand as we walked out the door. "Apartment 24" I smiled, "anything you can do with your wings?" I asked Nolan as we walked up the stairs to the third floor. "I- I mean, I can make my feathers sharp" he said. "Can you move them? Like I can do with my blood?" I asked. "Let me try," he answered. He made a face and one of his feathers loosely fell off his wing and flew around a little bit. "Now try to sharpen it?" I suggested. It turned sharp and became faster. "Haha, good job bud". I said as we approached apartment 24. I knocked on the door. A man with only shorts on answered the door. He had tattoos from his wrists to his stomach all the way to his neck. He leaned on the doorway with a cigarette in his mouth. "What do you want?" He sneered in a raspy voice. "Well I would like to know if your the parent who insulted and hit my kid?" I asked. I allowed my blood to flow through the cracks of the floor. "Yeah so what? That runt? He deserved it" he said, blowing smoke in my face. I looked down at him. "Oh yea? I bet your son would say different" I shot back. Right on cue the man's son came around the corner with Nolan's sharpened feather on the back of his neck. It wasn't piercing his skin but it was threatening. "Would you like to tell me why you hit my son?" I asked him. My blood was climbing his clothes. "U-um well-" he started to say. "Or would you like it better if I hit you the way you hit Nolan?" I snapped, all the blood was now at his neck, with my blood as spiked and made a circle around his neck. Like Nolan did with his kid except with more spikes. It's hard to explain. "Now do not try to speak, strike, or even look at me or my son again, or this will end poorly on both sides. Come on Nolan, I think we're done here" I said, my spikes returned to me, floating around me. Nolan called his feather back and I slammed the door in the man's face. I fist bummed Nolan and just as we reached the end of the hall he heard a scream and a thump. I got in front of Nolan and looked behind us. It was in the apartment closest to us. "Stay behind me" I said "ok papa" that took me by surprise, but the door opened right after he said it. A kid that looked to be a teenager was thrown out the door, "w-wait! I don't understand!" They yelled. "We don't accept your kind here!" A man's voice yelled from inside the door. A black backpack was thrown at the kid. "But I have nowhere else to stay!" The kid said, pleading to be let back in. "Well that's for you to figure out, Madeline!" The voice said again. "That's not my-" the door slammed closed "name" they finished quietly. They grabbed their back pack and stood up. They started to cry and approached the stairs. "E-exuse me" they said as they approached us. "Hold on, do you need a place to stay for a couple days?" I asked. They looked at me hopefully. They had ghostly white skin and red eyes, with black straight hair that ended at their chin. "Yes p-please" they responded. "Ok my apartment is downstairs" I smiled at them and they half smiled back. "V! I'm home! Guess what? I have another surprise!" I yelled into the house. V poked his head out of his room. His eyes lit up once he saw the other kid I brought. "Levi! How are you? How have you been?" V said happily, giving the kid a hug. They burst into tears and told V what happened. Nolan got bored with the conversation and loudly said he had to poop. After a couple of minutes we heard  a scream. "SPIDER" Nolan yelled. Levi and I ran to Nolan's rescue. He was on his butt with tears in his eyes, as he pointed to the bathtub. (The spider caught him with his pants down) he had his under where on though. Levi cupped the spider in his hand. It crawled up Levi's arm before going into it. It was a weird sight. "Oh I forgot to tell you, my power is spiders, I can talk to them and some live inside of me, they are sometimes my only friends' ' Levi said excitedly. "O-oh yea? That's great" I stuttered. I was still trying to proses what the fuck just happened. I figured out Levi was 15 years old and was trans, female to male. But it's not like we cared, we're part of the LGBTQIA+ community. "Why don't we all go clothes shopping, after all, Levi has no clothes and Nolan has been wearing ours, so I think it's about time. I have Levi and Nolan free reign to our closets. I put on my black platforms that end above my shins and my jacket, with my skull shirt and black jeans, with my chains. I put in my snakebites and my small gages. Levi put on one of my tank tops with a white flower in the middle, and the band "Rare Americans" on it. He wore black shorts and my boots that end just under the knee. Nolan wore a black T-shirt and shorts, with red high tops. V wore a tank top that shows his stomach and has a hood with strings (He made it himself) it's cream colored. With black short shorts and red crocs. I put in my voice changer before we left. V's car was full of clothes and other things from Alex's house, so only the front seat was open. So I suggested Levi and I take the motorcycles. I took my red one and Levi took my black one. I made sure the radio system in the helmets were working and I gave him a leather jacket. I had to wear my black tenni shoes and put my platforms in the bags on the back. I also gave Levi some pants to wear so he didn't get hurt if he crashed. I made sure he had gloves and I put in my fingerless gloves and we were ready to go.  We decided to go to a mall. About halfway there I heard Levi on the radio system. "Hey, you never told me your name, what is it?" He asked. I shut off my music. "My hero name is Bloodlock, but you can call me Oli" I responded. "Well Oli, c-can I get a binder while we're there? And maybe some bras? Because I don't have any, I left them at my old apartment" he asked. He sounded so nervous. I laughed. "Sure bud, of course I can do that!" I said. I heard him sigh with relief. "Thanks, Oli," he said. "No problem, did I show you how you can listen to music?" I asked. I could hear him get excited through the radio. "No, but I would like you too," he said. "Look below where the keys are, under that is a screen, it should already be hooked up to the helmet. But you can listen to radios, podcasts, or YouTube. Make sure to keep your eyes on the road. If you'd like, I can do it instead." I explained. "Can you please do it for me?" He asked. "What would you like to listen to?" I asked. I put in the security number to hook up to his bike. "Rock music, maybe Skillet?" He asked. I put it in and swiped away. I looked up and there was a red light. I was about to head full speed into V's car. I slammed onto my brakes and turned so the side of my bike was facing the car. I fell off and my bike hit the wheels. Luckily I wasn't injured. I sighed, and made sure my body knew I wasn't dying. V came out and checked to see if I was ok. He helped me up, "you have to stop paying attention to your radio and focus on the road! This is like the fourth time this has happened!" He said. "I know I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention" I promised. Then I got my bike and we continued to the mall. Nolan and Levi were astonished about what happened, and we explained it happens a lot. I finally got a good look at Levi. He was skinny and looked like he hadn't eaten in a while. He had a big chest, I felt bad, he must have dysphoria from it. We finally found a store with binders, Levi had to get measured and we got two binders and some sports bras. I brought my backpack so I put the bag of stuff in there. We went to a skate shop and got V new wheels for his roller skates, we got Nolan his own roller skates, Levi a skateboard, and I got a new longboard. Levi and I went to Hot Topic and got some anime stuff, and V entertained the kids while I went and got some manga. As we were walking to the food court a skinny man with a grey beard catcalled Levi. "Wanna come over to my place sometime?" He said he snickered to his friends. "I-I'm a miner, please don't say that" Levi responded. "Oh it's ok sweetie, no one has to know" he said, walking over to us. I got in front of Levi, the guy stopped. It could be because I was intimidating, or, because there were my blood spikes, sharpened feathers, and disks with sharp sides surrounding him. I heard Nolan hissing, and I could feel V glaring at the person. He looked shocked at all the things surrounding him. "Y-you know there's no powers allowed in here right?" The man stuttered. "Oh, but sweetie, no one has to know," I said, smiling at him. I held up two fingers, (the peace sign) and the disks flew back into V, and Nolan cought on and the feathers flew back to him and he went tame again. The blood went back into the containers on my belt, and we walked away. "You handled that perfectly Levi, he was just being a dick" I looked at Levi. He smiled. "Oli! Nolan's right here!" V scolded me. I laughed and high fived Levi. We ate Chinese food and we got three blow up mattresses. After we went to a haircut place and Levi got the left side of his hair shaved, with layers on the right side, he looked great! We put the stuff in V's car. (Except for my manga, Nolan can't look at that stuff) and headed home. After being home for a little bit someone knocked on the door. There was a CPS lady, she came for a surprise inspection of the house and gave us official foster papers for Levi and Nolan. V and I signed so now we were legally foster parents. After she was done with talking, inspecting, and some questioning, she told us about other foster kids, and how you can hold 5 foster kids at the same time. Then she talked with Levi and Nolan alone. Then she left. I sighed and went to look for the kids. Nolan and Levi were in my room, my nightstand was opened and they had some of my manga sprawled out on the bed. "You read smut?" Levi asked smuggly. My face went red. "Put that back," I said . "You got some juicy stuff, no wonder we can't look at it!" Nolan smiled. "J-just get out of here!" I said and chased them out, I put my manga on the top shelf of my closet. I sighed, then Levi appeared at my doorway "hey Oli?" He asked sheepishly. "What? Come here to make fun of me again?" I joked. "Can we get the stuff from my dads? The lady said I could and gave me a piece of paper to give him" she said handing it to me. It was a lot of words but it practically said "Levi, your son, is allowed to come get his stuff from Steven Lewis's apartment. Anything Steven does to object, could be taken into custody for child neglect and abuse.".. "Sure bud, we can go now, it's only 6pm" I responded, giving him the paper back, Levi's eyes got wide. "What is it? You ok?" I asked. "Well he starts drinking around this time, but he should be able to read, so let's go now to get it over with" he said, trying to put on a brave face. I smiled and grabbed a couple of black compactor bags, ya know the huge ones? We made sure V knew we were leaving and we left. As we walked up the stairs Levi started breathing fast. I put my arm on his shoulder and smiled, "thanks for coming in your hero outfit, it makes me feel safer you have extra blood and weapons with you" he said looking down. I knocked on the door. "Whattdoyouwant?" A voice slurred back. "Dad?" Levi asked. The door swung open. "I knew you'd come back, Madeline"
He said taking another drink. Levi's face darkened. "Hey. My name is Bloodlock and that is what you will refer to me as, I'm here to pick up your son's stuff and we have a right to do so" I handed him the paper "also, who's Madeline?" I asked, smiling. "He looked confused and pointed at Levi. "No sir, that's Levi?" I said in a confused voice, and stepping in front of Levi, I could smell the smoke and beer on his breath. He made a face and let us in. We were about halfway done getting everything, when we heard a thump below us. Levi and I looked at eachother, confused, but we shrugged and kept working. When we got everything we left his old room and met Levi's dad in the living room. "What are you freaks still doing here?" He snarled. ''We were just leaving, thanks, have a good life" I said as I shut the door before he could get another word out. We talked about where he would put all of his stuff when we got back. But when we opened the door to my apartment, my heart sank. V was on the floor, he was beaten and bruised. He was passed out and there was a tuff of his hair torn from his scalp. I dropped Levi's stuff and went to V. "V! V! W-what. Wake up!" I said as I cupped his face in my hands. His eyes fluttered. "V? Are you awake?" I asked. His eyes shot open and he sat up. "W-why are your disks everywhere V? And where's Nolan?" Levi sounded worried. I got up and searched the apartment, "Nolan? Nolan? Stop playing around, where are you?" I yelled. "V, where's Nolan?" I asked. "They t-took h-him" V stuttered. "Who? V! Who in the hell took our kid?" I asked. "I-I don't know,h-honestly" he stuttered. "Fuckin hell" I said as I got on my jacket I use to patrol. "Here, we're going to search. V, you stay here just in case he comes back. Levi, you search with your spiders, look for anything and report anything you find. Got it?" I said. "Got it" Levi said. V nodded and I ran out the door. I grabbed my radio. "Sophia? Sophia, do you copy?" I asked into the radio. "Bloodlock? What's wrong? I'll get my stuff on and head to the agency" she said. "Get your bike, we need to look for Nolan again. Remember the kid in fostering? He had white hair, and he was last wearing a green dinosaur shirt and black shorts that go down to his knees. He's about 4'10 and probably 90-100 pounds. He has huge, beautiful white wings and red tennis shoes. He had blue eyes and he has some freckles on his face. Send out an amber alert and put up posters. Report ANY suspicious activity. Copy?" I asked. "Copy, I'm heading there now, I phoned the cops and told all of the people at the agency, and they are helping too. I am working on an amber alert and posters now." She said, I started my bike and raced to my agency. I heard the other bike start up behind me as I got onto the main road. I put on the emergency sirens and weaved through the cars. The siren sounded like a police siren. So people got to the side of the road. I arrived and shot through the doors. Everyone was already in their costumes and had their hands to their backs and their feet shoulder length apart. "Receptionist, I forgot your name, sorry. Monitor the police radios, anything about a missing child goes to me. Everyone else get a radio off the wall and Emily, get me my extra blood and please hook it to my bike. I need to get the rest of my stuff on" I said. "Yes sir!" They all said together. Then they scattered, running everywhere to get what they needed. Everyone here is issued their own bike by my agency so you could hear the bikes start up and leave the parking lot. I sighed and put on work belt. Got on my boots and stretchy jeans. I already had a tank top so I put in my voice changer. "Mr.Bloodlock?" A voice said. "Why does everyone say 'mr'? W-who are you?" I looked down to a man who was about 5ft tall and had hair that ended at his shoulders. He was wearing a white lab coat. He had brown eyes the color of his hair. "I'm Jeffrey. I was hired across the street at the local lab. I have seen your work and sir, it's amazing!" He gushed at me. I crossed my arms, he had papers in his hands and I needed to go find Nolan. "What could you possibly need right now Jeffrey?" I asked. "Uh, y-you can call me Jeff. But I have seen your son, Nolan right? And his wings. So I came up with a prototype so you can use your blood ability to create wings" he explained. He handed me the paper and I studied it. "Fine, but this needs to be quick." I said. "Oh it will sir, don't worry!" He replied. One of my assistants gave me the rest of my blood. "Thanks" I said to her. I made my blood go into the shapes on the picture in front of me. They succeeded. "Now attach them to your back" Jeff said. They looked alright. So I willed them to go into my back. It felt like someone poured hot iron on my back. "Oh god dammit. What the fuck Jeffrey?" I grunted. The wings went through my shirt and jacket, making two slits. It felt like two arms coming out of my back. "They might be tender at first b-but-" he tried to say. "Whatever, if you want you can look too. But I'm finding Nolan" I said. And took off, I tried to mimic Nolan's movements as he flew. "Bloodlock. We are following a black van speeding on highway 49."one of my assistants said into the radio. "Copy. I'm heading there now" I said, as I sped to the highway. I saw my bikers with their red and white lights on (we can't have blue and red because cops use that). "Pull over, you are a suspect in a kidnapping." One of my officers said into the microphone. I checked to make sure my gloves were on. I pressed a button and claws came out of my fingertips. I landed on the top of the van and crawled to where the back doors were. I opened them and found Nolan tied up, the other guy had his back turned to me talking into the window, with who I assume was the driver. Nolan's eyes lit up when he saw me. I put my goggles on and reached for Nolan. I grabbed the rope that tied his hands together. I slowly pulled him towards me. The person started to turn around. "Wait" I said in the driver's voice. They turned back around. "What did ya say?" The person asked. "What? I didn't say shit sawyer! Watch the kid!" The driver shouted in a raspy voice. I pulled him faster towards me. "Stop where you are. Let go of the kid." I looked up to see the person standing and pointing a gun at me. "Or what?" I said in my normal voice. "Or I'll shoot you." He cocked the gun. I made my blood come out of the containers on my belt where he couldn't see. They crawled to the sides of the van. "Might not be such a good idea," I said in the driver's voice. He looked behind him. I made my blood spiked around him. He looked at me again. He talked with his hands and pointed at me with the gun. "Was that you?" He asked. "Maybe" I said in his voice. He snapped his fingers and my spikes fell to the ground. "I can make your power disappear if it's not physical. That's why your wings won't go away." He smiled and reached up and put his hand on my cheek. He pushed his gun onto my forehead. "Well well, what about this" he said, he touched the white part of my hair. "Why do you always hide this part of your face, Bloodlock? Or should I call you oli?" He said. "You don't deserve to use my name. Asshole." I spat in his face. "Well let's see, won't we kid?" He looked at Nolan, then back at me. "You wouldn't. Not with Nolan." I said sternly. His face lit up. "Oh but I would! Now let's see, shall we?" He pulled the white part away. "Open your eye, dickhead," he said. "No way in hell am I doing that for you" I responded. He put his thumb under my eye and his pointer finger above my eyelid. He forced my eye open. He pulled his hand away. "What the fuck is this?" He yelled. He had a glowing liquid on his hands. "Why the fuck is it burning?" He shook his hand, trying to get it off. My eye has no pupil. It glows and makes a stinging residue, a lot of it. "Oh by the way, how's your mom?" I asked. He stopped in his tracks, "how in hell do you know that?" He said sternly. Shoving the gun more into my forehead. "Was it fun when her and your dad got in a fight, she left and got in a car wreck. Then your dad started drinking, abusing you. Then Gwen came into your life. Your half siblings bullied and tormented you. You got your girlfriend pregnet in highschool, despite your protest she got an abortion. Then you did small, petty crimes. Shoplifting, picking pockets. Then your boss came, I assume that's the person in the front seat. He promised you the life you never had. Now you're here. Stealing adults and kids to experiment on them. Then you let them go and see how they do in the real world after being captured for so long. So, Sawyer, how's life going?" I asked. "Very well actually" he smiled and shot me in the head. Searing pain came from my head. I fell to the floor and everything became blurry. "How's life going for you? Oliver?" He said as he tied up my hands. Then everything went black.
"Oliver! Oliver!" I woke up and gasped, sitting up. I was on the floor of a room with no doors. There was a man with long hair, down to the back of his knees, above me. "Oliver Banker right? We're just gonna call you Banker. You will be assigned a number later. Nolan is also your bunk mate. They are experimenting on him now. He will be back in an hour or so" he said. "Wait! Where am I? What happened?" I said, struggling to stand. "You're at observatory 6. It is an underground base disguised as a science lab. Is that good enough for you?" He asked. "Thanks for being so blunt. Can I ask you your name?" I asked. He stopped walking out. "You can call me Pine," he said. Then continued to walk out. He shut the door and I heard it beep. The medal door had a key code that you had to use to get in and out. I looked around. In the corner there was a bed, it had a medal black frame, with just a mattress. The same thing was a few feet away from it. On the opposite side of the room there was thick glass instead of a wall. There were holes on random parts of the glass with a small rectangular hole in the bottom, for what I assume is for food. After an hour of doing nothing, Nolan was thrown in, the door slamming behind him. I ran up to him, and held his face in my hands. "Nolan? Nolan! Are you ok?" I asked. His eyes fluttered. "D-dad? W-where am I? All I remember is-" his eyes shot open and he shot up. "There was doctors. They put a bunch of needles in me! They talked about a second pair of wings! What's happening, Oli?" He asked, and he started to cry. I got down on my knees and hugged him. "It's alright, we're in this together, I promise I will always be here for you" I said. He relaxed into me. "But Oli, they hurt me!" He said as he pulled back. "I know buddy, but we're stuck here. I can't stop them after they leave this room. I'm sorry" I said. He frowned, but his eyes got drowsy. "Hey Oli? I'm kinda tired" he said. His eyes shut and he was snoring on my shoulder. I smiled and picked him up. And brought him to the bed in the corner. I heard the door beep then swing open. "Banker? Are you still here?" I heard a voice say. I walked over. "Hi again" I said. The man with long hair was here again. "Come with me. You need to put on cuffs for my safety. This is Ben, he is my bodyguard" he explained. Ben put on my cuffs, I looked and recognized him immediately. "Ben? Are you that male stripper I used to be a bouncer at?" I asked. He looked shocked and looked at me. I smiled. "Oli? What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked. "Well you might want to ask Sawyer that question." I said. "Dad? Where are you?" I heard Nolan say. The door was still open. "It's ok Nolan I'm just going with my old friends Ben and Pine. Go back to sleep and I will be back in a minute" I called as the door shut. Ben looked horrified. "Nolan's in there too?" He asked. "Yep" I responded. "It's time to go, follow me," Pine said in a dull voice. We headed down the hall where we entered a room that said 'room 443'. There was a man there. "Hello Oliver Banker-" he started to say. "Hold on hold on," I cut him off, his mouth still open. "You guys know you can call me Oli right? You guys keep calling me Oliver Banker like I don't know my full name" I said. He looked confused. He had a beard going to his collarbone, and short ginger hair on his head. "Ya know, you're really starting to piss me off" he answered. I sighed. "Take your clothes off, but leave on your underwear" he said. They took off my cuffs and  took all my hero stuff. "Get on the table, face down," he said. I did as I was told. They strapped my arms and legs to the operating table. Then Pine and Ben left. I started to get nervous, with what Nolan said I hated this guy. The man laughed. He turned on ballet music, what a weird thing to jam out too. He gagged me with a piece of cloth. Then he took a syringe and put weird red liquid into it. And put a different liquid in a different syringe, this happened like three more times. He jabbed me in the left leg. The liquid hurt and he put it in my thighs. I winced at the pain. He put a rope and tied my wings down, I forgot they were even there. He put the other two at the base of my wings. "One more left. This might hurt a little" he told me. He put the needle at the end of my spine, I winced again. He started injecting me with the liquid and it felt like he was pouring lava into me. I screamed and he laughed. I gasped and yelled again. "You have a bunch of scars on your body, do you mind if I open them again?" He said. He untied me, flipped me over so I was facing up, and tied me down again. He pulled down my gag. "How do you like it so far?" Ha asked cheerfully. "You're a sick bastard!" I spat in his face. He smiled. "Don't worry, you'll enjoy this next part" he said as he tied my neck, chest, and even my forehead to the table. He pulled out a medical knife and started opening my scars again. I screamed again, he stated at my legs and made his way to the big one on my chest. "Ooo what's this one from?" He asked. "None of your fucking business" I gasped. "Then let's see what the inside looks like," he said and started cutting it. I tried to get out of the restraints, squirming around, I felt the blood run down my body. Then I realized, blood! I tried to make my blood go to the man, but it wouldn't work. I gasped and tried again, still nothing. "Ya know that won't work right? One of the injections had a syrup that made your power lessen" he snickered. He cut deeper in my skin. I screamed and cried but I knew that wouldn't help. After hours of this he bandaged me up and said he was done for the day. I breathed heavily as Pine and Ben walked in. My whole body was sore from the cutting, he undid my wings first. I stretched them and he untied my arms, legs, neck, and forehead. I flapped my wings and flew into the wall, I tried to hold my wings around me, but I was too weak too. The doctor tried to approach me but I made the sharp points of my wing go inches from his face. "Get him out of here, we'll start again tomorrow" the doctor said as he took off his gloves. My wings went limp as Pine and Ben approached me. I groaned as Ben picked me up, bridal style. "You alright, man?" He asked when we were in the hallway. I winced "it hurts to move" I said. My hair fell out of my face as I leaned my head back. He dropped me. "What the fuck Ben?" I gasped. "What's wrong with your face?" He asked, I struggled to get up, when I got on my feet I said "it's a side effect of my power". Ben helped me walk as we approached my room again. They opened the door and I limped in. "Oli? Are you ok? You're covered in bandages!" Nolan said, concerned. "I'm alright buddy" I said, bending down. I heard another door open. I looked over and Pine, Ben, and a woman on the other side. The women had two lunch trays with food on them. "Here's your food" she said in a raspy voice as she set them on the floor, then left. Pine had a clipboard and was writing in it as I walked over and bent down to get the food. I brought them in the cage of a room. Before I turned around I heard Pine say "here" as he threw a pair of black shorts into the hole. Even though I was neck to ankle in bandages I appreciated that he thought of me. It hurt to stand and walk but I couldn't make Nolan worry about me. "Here, eat up" I said as I set both the plates on his bed. "Are you sure, Oli? Are you ok?" He questioned. "I'm okay Nolan, just eat your food" I told him. He smiled and ate as Pine put water bottles under the door, I walked over and picked them up, giving one to Nolan. I sat on my bed, thinking about V. Does he miss me? I miss him and Levi. I want to see them again.
