betrayed. Hawks X O.C

chapter. 8

VIYA POV:

In a perfect world, there wouldn't be villains, there wouldn't be any need for heroes, there wouldn't be a grey area in-between of the two. There would be just people existing together.
No crime, no murder for one excuse or the other, no good versus evil. It would be just everyone trying to get through life together. I would really be at a friend's birthday party, watching her loving husband shower her with love and praise as she cut into her over the top birthday cake surrounded by all her friends and family. But here in reality, my reality, I stood alone in the bathroom of a large event hall where yet another hellish war between "good" vs "evil" would take place. In other words, reality sucks, I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror, at least that setting spray did its thing and my makeup is still intact, I cleaned the slightly smudged lipstick out of the corner of my lips, checking myself over one more time and walking over to the bathroom door.

"Now it's with my greatest honor to bring the birthday girl herself on stage! Mrs. Aly Takami come on up!!"

I froze again, seems to be what was going to happen every time I heard my brothers voice during this event apparently, my hand was pressed to the silver plate of the bathroom door, my brothers loud voice echoing through the room, bouncing off the bathroom walls, why was this so much harder than I thought it was going to be? Why did I assume we would have a normal mission that wouldn't end in some kind of fucking trauma. I swung the door open and ran right into a firm chest, that familiar smell of clove cigarettes and spiced cologne filled my nose, luckily it was the right combination of smells to tell me it wasn't Enji this time. Those Two firm hands grabbed me by my shoulders, pushing me back in the bathroom, he moved us so fast I didn't have time to look at his face, I would have liked to see if he was pissed or not, but whatever.

"V what the fuck are you doing out there? Stop trying to get us killed damn it.
You know when you do something dumb, I have to come in and cover it up. Fuck....you've been crying.."

Touya lectured me, only to stopped, strange, last time I checked the mirror there was no proof I had been crying, not a single under eye bag, no redness, nothing. His expression softened,
My eyebrows knitted together, my mouth hung open slightly, he was normally caring when it came to me but damn, before I could say anything there was a loud roar of an applause coming from out in the main area.

"Are you fuckin kidding me right now? You said we would be crashing some fancy dinner touy....no half the top pro hero's are out there! YOUR father.....my brother. I saw your dad blush by the way! super fucking weird."

Tears started to form in my eyes, mostly out of frustration, I kinda hoped Touya would have crashed that little meet and greet earlier. Looking up and stared at the ceiling, not allowing more tears to threaten to ruin my make-up, my setting spray was hanging in strong but I didn't want to risk it.

"I wasn't expecting any of this either V, we are here now. Just have to see how things play out for now. Princess everything's gonna be okay. I'll get you away from them as soon as possible."

I looked back at Touya, there his 'I don't give a fuck, laid back' self was, I guess it's better than him burning the entire place down with all of us in it, though that was still possible to happen at a moment's notice. Amusement was burning blue eyes, okay so yea he still very well could snap and kill us all at a moment's notice. As much as he could form a sincere empathetic expression, he was trying, which looked awkward, tilting my head, ready to ask if he needed to take a shit because that was the look he was giving me right now. He took a step forward and placed his hand on my cheek, making me sigh, suddenly not wanting to antagonize him anymore. There was a loud echo throughout the entire place and the lights went out in the bathroom, the Loud screams and shouting from the other side of the door proved that the lights turned off in the rest of the place as well.
