Oneshots: Elmax / Sillie

Hostage

"And they lived happily ever after. That's the end. Goodnight honey, sleep well." El kissed her daughter's forehead before pulling the blanket up to her shoulders and leaving the room.
Max was leaving their son's room at the same time, and they ended up meeting in the hallway.

El smiled and shut the door fully before sighing in relief. She and Max married 2 years ago, when they were just 19 and 20. People kept telling them it was too early, but they've been together since they were 14, so what's the point in waiting to call them your wife? They were already doing that before Max even proposed though.

They had adopted twins soon after that, a boy and girl. Their names were Liam and Alia, and their 3rd birthday was right around the corner.

Honestly, the couple had no regrets. They were happy, and had managed to get their own place after countless sleepless nights. Luckily though, the kids were finally able to sleep through the whole night, letting their parents catch up on some sleep.

"Hey babe." Max said, placing a small kiss on El's nose. El giggled and kissed her on the lips, pulling away to see Max blushing like she did ever since they were kids.
"Come on, let's go to bed. I'm tired." El said, going to their bedroom.
Max followed and they got into bed. She laid her head on El's chest and wrapped her arms around her as they spoke a bit before falling asleep.

——————————
While the whole household slept, the front door slowly opened, allowed a gust of fresh air to enter. The sound of floorboards creaking got louder and louder until it was right outside the couple's bedroom door. Silently, it opened and whoever entered smiled as they saw who they've been searching for, for a very long time now.

The person carefully made their way to the bed, but El stirred and they froze. She mumbled something before holding Max tighter. Once El had fallen back asleep, the person made their way to the bed once again, until they were standing almost directly above them.

They pulled 2 syringes out their pocket and injected it into both of their necks. They came for one person but the others would certainly make this a lot easier. The person injected the toddlers as well before carrying each of them to their car, tying their arms and hands as they all lay unconscious in the back.

——————————
El had woken up first, and bright lights and white walls blinded her for a second. Once her eyes adjusted to the light, she realised she wasn't in her bedroom. She tried to rub her eyes in case her mind was just playing tricks on her, but she noticed she couldn't move any part of her body except her head.

She looked around and her heart dropped as she saw Max tied to a chair a couple feet away. She desperately looked for her kids and found them also constricted, though it looked like they were in some sort of tech.

She looked behind her and saw thick chains on her arms and legs, barely allowing any movement. The others only had rope, so she tried to use her powers to untie Max. As soon as El tried, an electric current shot through her body, leaving her out of breath. So that's why she has these weird chains.

She struggled in her seat for a few minutes until she saw Max wake up, looking groggy. "What the...?" She looked around until she saw El. "El?! Where the fuck are we? Where are the-"

A door opened and closed, disappearing back into the walls. An old man entered the room. He was tall and slim with white hair, though his back was turned to the couple.

"Oh Eleven. What beautiful kids you have here." The man said, looking at the still unconscious toddlers. El recognised the voice somewhere, it was in the back of her mind but she couldn't quite grasp it.

The man suddenly turned and El's immediately knew who it was.

It was Papa.

"Hello Eleven. Maxine." He nodded and El watched as he made his way over to her wife, grinning evilly.
"Why have you brought us here?" El demanded.
Dr Brenner chuckled. "I have something I need you to do for me. It's only a matter of whether you agree to do it the easy way, or the hard."
"I'm not doing anything for you, you crazy son of a-" She began.

Papa punched Max in the jaw, and El gasped. Another electric shock soured through her veins as she tried to use her powers. "I swear to god if yo-"
Another punch, this time in the cheek. Max winced but didn't have much of a reaction, she was used to getting beaten up by Neil almost every night when she was younger.

"Not another word. You hear me?" Papa asked.
El nodded with tears in her eyes, why does he always have to come whenever she's finally happy?
"I need you to kill a man. His name is Demetri Hafoka. He's a very respected man in Russia but he's interfering with my plans. He's trying to stop me from achieving the goals I've worked so hard for."

"I'm not killing anyone for someone like you." This time Brenner didn't punch Max, instead he pulled out a lighter and put it against her arm.

Slowly the flame crept closer and closer as he smirked at El, enjoying her terrified reaction. "Stop!" El shouted, "Fucking stop!"
The flame was just centimetres from burning Max's skin, and El couldn't just watch her wife get tortured like this.

"I'll do it." She said, "I'll do it, if you leave Max alone."
Max looked at her, "El." She warned, "It's okay, it's not worth it."
El just shook her head and looked at Papa. "Please let them go. They haven't done anything."
He chuckled, "I'm not finished yet."

He walked over to her and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it. "Have this." He said, offering it to her.
"No." El answered simply.
"Very well." He put it in his own mouth and got right in El's face before letting out a puff of smoke.

He stood up straight and exhaled before reaching for El's shirt. "What the fuck are you doing?" She asked as she revealed her shoulder.
"You see this scar?" He asked, pointing to a mark which had almost faded.
El turned and looked at her shoulder.

"Remember how it got there?" Brenner asked, smirking.
El clenched her jaw and looked at him, "I remember very well."

A/N: Honestly hate this chapter, and I have no idea how to finish it. I might finish it eventually but for now this is it, better chapters out soon!
