Bloodborne: First Blood {1}

Chapter 𝟜𝟟 - Same Old, Same Old

I have to say, out of all the times I've been held somewhere against my will in my career, I have never had an experience like this.

Tony and I remained strapped into chairs while Amelia and Henry kept arguing over the deal they had, Henry felt like she didn't hold up her end of the deal. It was like a verbal boxing match between our crazed exes.

"No, no, no! This isn't the Christina I remember. She's supposed to love me?"

"The hell are you talking about—our deal wasn't for me to repair whatever issue she has against you. Maybe you're just delusional—"

"Delusional? Have you seen yourself? Do you think Tony Stark is gonna love you when he has a billion women at his doorstep? Dream on." Henry held up a finger when Amelia tried to speak. "Also this delusional man is the reason why you can have your little boy toy here."

Tony turned to me while all of this was happening, gesturing to Henry. "I knew Amelia was bad but, what did he do?"

"Kidnapped me, used his fiance as a way to do that, telling her he loved me more which made her hate my guts. I got a bullet wound from her, got the scar to prove it."

"Wow...that is bad."

"Mhm, I hate him." 

Suddenly, Henry slammed his hands down on both sides of my chair. He looked into my eyes. "You don't love me."

"Congrats Sherlock."

"You love someone else!"

"What?"

Now I was beyond confused not even as angry as I was in the beginning. There is no way he got that from just looking at me or maybe in his mind he had to be right about this. Henry was a loose cannon, I couldn't just assume I knew what was going down in his brain.

"You weren't in love with that playboy or that low-level agent, you didn't even like him all that much. Even though it should be me who you're falling over your feet for, it isn't." He backed away from me. "You have no idea how pissed that makes me, all this time you've been in love with someone else and you just didn't realize it."

"You are talking about something you know nothing about."

"No, I know you are. You never loved any of us, Stark, that agent, me, we were all idiots!"

"Shut up."

"To think I was so blind..."

Now he was getting on my nerves, Henry was the type to think he knew it all—He thought he knew everything there was to know about me but he was wrong. Every single person who has entered my life Howard, Kai even Henry at one point, I have had nothing but love to give to them, and when that ended they all left me with valuable lessons. 

It pissed me off that he thought he knew everything, that he thought he was in control of this situation, and that he was so confident in his position.

That was what I chose to ignore when I was with him, I ignored that he was completely obsessed with himself and I have had it.

I was gonna show him, he didn't know as much as he thought he did.

As Henry spoke, Amelia was trying to carry on a conversation with Tony which he avoided by using sarcasm as always. I closed my eyes and focused hard on the room we were in, I was going to try something I had never done before.

When I felt a swift breeze fly past me, I opened my eyes to see everyone in the room looking at me with their eyes popping out. I was no longer in the chair, restrained. I was in the middle of the room, facing Amelia and Henry.
