Frank's POV:

Vic went on her merry way to do whatever she does. My mission was to find Gerard, which could easily be found pacing and talking to his mother way too loudly. I knocked on the door before entering which I don't really do but he seemed...heated. 

"Can I just...pull you to the side for a bit? Sorry momma Way," I said before dragging Gerard out into the hallway. "Did you know your little girlfriend has the same exact powers as Mikey? She needs no more resting, this girl can do it fucking all," I said almost proud of her but also a little scared because this girl is a force to be reckoned with. Who knows what else she can do?

"What a joke," he rolled his eyes. "Dude, just ask her about it," I said patting him on the shoulder. "Before you go, how did she..come upon this..power?" he questioned. I hesitated and exhaled, "Long story short she helped me kill off some certain individuals." 

He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands, "You guys are going to be the death of me one day." He walked back into the room without saying another word. I mean that went a lot better than I would've thought. I'll take it. 

Gerard's POV: 

It felt like everything around me was collapsing even though things were the best it's ever been. My mom was pestering me about planning a wedding even though I haven't even proposed to her yet, isn't it too soon? Now Victoria seems to have gotten her powers and she helped Frank to kill which I think is too soon but it was gonna happen sooner or later. 

We'll tackle this one at a time, starting with Vic. I could smell her perfume as I got closer to her, the library. I heard her sultry voice humming along to soft music. She had an easel set up with a decent sized canvas and various paints splattered along the canvas but with harmony. 

I stood back and watched as she looked content and focused. I waited until she took a pause, "Hello darling," she turned around spooked. "Oh, I wasn't expecting you to see this yet," she said   shyly. I looked closer to the painting to see a girl that resembled Vic, laying in a river, surrounded by plants and bats in the trees. 

"Um, this is just..expressing my journey that's gotten me here!" she gestures to the castle. "Can we talk darling?" her expression changed drastically, from happiness to dread. "Did Frank take you out to y'know, kill? And to ask, did you get all your powers and not tell me?" she looked away back to her painting unwilling to answer. 

"Vic, don't look away from me," I made her look at me by pulling her shoulders. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone without asking or telling you about my abilities," she buries her chest into my chest. Every time she hugged me my body would warm up but that no longer happens, that's one thing I've missed about her human form. "I just wish you would communicate a lil more thats all darling. You can trust me, I'm not your father," I said holding her face in my hands. 

"Frank told me you could see things when touching items, is that true?" I question. "Yeah! It's actually quite a cool gift," she seemed excited but now I want to test this ability. "I'll be right back," I said flying to my room to grab an item from my mother. 

I grabbed her old wedding ring and went back to Vic, "Hold out your hand but close your eyes. This will be the real test." She held her hand out and closed her eyes, I placed it in her hand and her brows furrowed like she was trying to think out a math problem in her head. "It belonged to your mom I'm assuming, wedding ring. She's lost it a few times before but always found it," she looked so proud of herself. 

I was in a bit of shock because Mikey was the only person in my life who could do that. "Well then, I'll let you finish your painting," I smiled and kissed her on the cheek. 

Victoria's POV:

Gerard had left a couple of hours ago and I just finished my painting. I stretched because my posture was horrendous! I called for Gerard to see my finished piece, "You're amazing! How would you feel about doing a family portrait of us all? No pressure of course," he said with puppy dog eyes. I gave in, I agreed. 

"Would you let me put this in the gallery? It deserves to be there!" he basically demanded. "For a kiss, yes," I teased. He quickly put his lips to mine and took the painting up to the gallery, I left him to it. For now, I needed to go do something else that may not get the approval of others. 

~^~^~^~^

I paced the room as I braced myself to fly into town. I wanted to finish the job and figure out who else was involved in the news article in the papers. I sighed before going out but was rudely interrupted by Gerard. He scared the shit out of me and had me screaming. 

"Did I really scare you that bad?" he chuckled. I nodded, "Are you okay? What are you doing up here alone?" he questioned suspiciously. "Just admiring! Trying to look into my old room is all!" I said trying to sound convincing but honestly I'm not that good at lying. He looked at me weird but still bought into it. Goal. 

"Anyway, I need you. Well, me and Mikey both. It's important," he said grabbing my hand not giving me time to reply. "Save your questions, darling," how did he know? Oh wait, vampire. 

Gerard brought me to his office where Mikey sat in the window. "Sit,"  he said pulling out a chair for me in front of his desk. "I feel like I'm being interrogated,  Jesus Christ..." I said slouching in the chair. "It's not the serious, but it is, but it isn't," Mikey said sitting in the chair next to me. 

"Mikey stop, that won't help her nerves," Gerard said. "Can you guys just tell me what it is already? Actually let me guess, is it about your mother?" the boys both looked at each other. "What? Is it about meeting her or the wedding part?" I crossed my arms a bit annoyed.

Gerard sighed and Mikey kept his eyes to the floor, "Like did you guys forget I can hear you?" 

"I'm sorry my love. I should've said something sooner," Gerard said looking quite remorseful. "I'm sorry too, even though I didn't really do anything per say.." Mikey said and Gerard threw a pen at him pretty forcefully. Which made me giggle. 

"Will you please do us the favor and met her? I know it's super soon but she won't stop fucking asking and I'm losing it," Gerard said pointing to his head and doing a swirl motion. "Obviously, mothers love me! What could go wrong?" I said smiling.
