Our Good Omega (FrostyIronStrange)

Chapter 18 LANE!

Tony's Pov:

"I thought you guys wanted me to have babies." I said.

"We do but we figure you two will do it when you're ready...we won't force it again. You've already done this for us..." Lane said.

"You mean that?" I asked.

"Tony...you are the first mer we've had any kind of connection with...we don't normally get attached to our...wards? We usually care for them then send them on their way but we've grown attached to you and your mates...even Peter...at least I have." Lane said.

"Aw Lane..." I said and he laughed.

"I'll see you later." I said and he nodded...I did some more exploring of the tunnels when...I froze right outside one of the rooms as I heard talking.

"Today?"

"Yes today...they plan on coming in through the river."

"But what about the mer?"

"It's pregnant...it can't do shit." Wait...what?

"But that mer will put up a fight...I mean it's imprinted with the baby." I tensed...They're going after Peter!?

"Yeah but it's weak...plus it'd have no help...his dragon and god mate can't breath under water plus we'll have a distraction...us...so let's go do this." I moved and swam back...Peter was practicing swimming...his little tail wiggling as he laid in the nest...I can give him to Stephen and Loki...I heard the alarms start going off and realized they'd be finding Valia...then what do I d- I saw Lane...I swam quickly to that tunnel and through it popping into the pond.

"Lane!" I choked and he startled.

"Tony...something wrong?" He asked.

"Theirs people after Peter." I said and he tensed... "They're coming in through the river..." I said and he walked over...He took Peter and laid him down then moved to me as...I tried to get out but...I frowned when I didn't have the strength...

"Tony...are you feeling alright?" He asked looking worried and I swallowed because I felt kind of weak and nauseas but could be stress.

"I can't get out." I said and he was helping me...as soon as I was out of the water though it was a thousand times worse...I felt fucking awful.

"Tony!?" I was gasping for air because I just couldn't breath...my lungs felt like they were being crushed...like they wouldn't expand... "It's ok...ok just...just slow breaths...try to breath as deep as you can for me ok." Lane said and I did try...it wasn't working... "Shit...your secondary lungs aren't expanding enough" Lane said...wait...secondary!? I had two sets...what the fuck? Then Lane suddenly left me cursing.

"Tony...neither of you can leave the water...Peter can't shift and he can't breath out here." Lane said and I looked...oh...he had put Peter back in the pond. "And you can't breath out here..." He said and I choked as he moved to help me back in the water. "He helped me back in and I sucked in a breath as soon as my gills touched the water...What do we do? I saw him grab the radio. "Valia, we have a situation, over." He said and...it was silent. "Valia?" Lane asked and frowned...He looked at me... "I'm not about to loose you both..." He said and moved...Lane what are you doing?

"Tony...remember we said the Kelpies tank isn't linked to yours?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said weakly.

"It is but it's locked...if you can get me to it I can unlock it..." He said...get you to...I paled...Lane...

"You'll drown!" I hissed.

"Possibly." He said...I frowned. "But I know Valia and everyone else thinks Kelpies are monsters...but they were protective of mers...especially young ones." He said...

"Lane...no...we can figure something else o-"

"Warning! Warning! Unknown entities in tunnel 4." I tensed.

"That's the tunnel that leads to here..." He said...Fuck. He moved and took his lab coat off then his shirt and pants. "Always wanted to swim with mers..." He laughed as he got in the pond...I grabbed Peter and swam up to him.

"Lane..." I said and he shrugged...

"If you take the tunnel all the way down it crosses with tunnel 8...you'll need to go left." He said and reached out...I moved letting him wrap his arms around me. "Hopefully your dragon don't kill me for the hug." He joked...

"Yeah." I said tightly.

"Deep breath." He said as I slowly lowered us...He took a huge breath and then we were under the water...I moved as fast as I could but I was slower than normal plus the added weight and these tunnels are not made for two...He's gonna drown...I got to the turn and saw the tunnel go far down but...room...I shot inside and swam up into the pond...Lane gasped and breathed. "Thanks." He said.

"Lane...I swear to god if you die." I said and he chuckled...He breathed and then gave me a nod...I slowly sank down...he took a deep breath and I was moving...I swam as fast as I could and to my horror...no rooms connected to 8 after that one...I forced myself to swim even faster...pushing past the strain...come on...I then saw what was keeping everyone busy...I didn't have time to really look but I saw the huge fire and saw the name 'Nusery'. I kept swimming and we were in another tank...Lane pointed down and I swam down...I saw something metal and...I swam down and he punched in a code then pressed his hand on the pad...the metal opened...oh...I heard the Kelpies cry but I didn't pay it attention...I grabbed at Lane who was...No come on...dammit...LANE! I kept forcing him to hold on to me as I swam up...come on...come on and! I choked as we hit the top...NO! NO! I looked at Lane and he smiled...you knew...

"Bye Tony." He mouthed slowly as his eyes closed...NO! NO LANE! Fuck! I choked and Peter cried as he clung to me...Lane slowly sank down and I followed him...Lane...FUCK! I yelped as something sharp went flying past me...I hissed at the divers...mother fuckers! I heard the screech and suddenly the Kelpie was swimming out at them at a fast speed slamming into them and...it has sharp teeth...that's terrifying. LANE!? I swam and...I looked at Peter and grabbed Lane...Peter luckily held on to me as I swam back...I got to the nearest room...nearest pond and...

"Lane!" I choked as I pushed him up on to land...Fuck...I choked eyes watering...I then heard the gunshots...fuck...I swallowed looking at Lane...I'm so sorry...

Loki's Pov:

"Lane, we need to get Anth-" I stopped not seeing the man...Stephen growled and stopped out...I looked at the pile of clothes...I walked over and saw his ID on the jacket...where the hell is he? I grabbed it and a few photos fell out of his pocket...I hummed...cute kids...I should really find Anthony...by now Stephen's either found him or killed someone...I heard the gunshots and tensed...WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO!?
