SOMBRA Shakedown

A oneshot for Astronomiiaa

Elliot's POV

Oh god. Oh no. Oh shit. I'm freaking out. I don't know where I am. I don't know how I got here. I don't know who's keeping me here. I just woke up and my head is spinning. I feel dizzy and lightheaded. The back of my head hurts exceptionally bad. I woke up in some cell, keeping me locked in here with hard iron bars. I looked around, hoping that my boyfriend, Lilian, was okay. Unexpectedly, he was lying right next to me. I panic and shake him. He opens his eyes as I mess with his grayish-silver hair, doing this usually calms me but it doesn't now. He sits up and squints his singular red eye, the bandages still covering most of his face and neck.

"Elliot, doll, where are we?" He queries.

"I... I don't know." I answer honestly.

"This is inconvenient, we can't fight SOMBRA like this," Lilian says, not seeming the least bit concerned.

"What if they kidnapped us? Like what happened in S-Singapore?" I reply.

Lilian stands up as he observes the surroundings. I continue to panic. I pace around the small cell, not knowing where I am and what's going to happen is making me feel so anxious. I feel a hand on my shoulder and practically jump out of my skin.

"It's just me, love, don't freak out," Lilian says.

"I can't help but feel worried that something might happen to me... or even you," I explain.

"Everything will be fine. I have magic abilities. We'll be okay- He kisses my head and I feel a small smile tug at my lips -and we will get out of here."

Suddenly, the door to our room where we're hidden flies open. My head whips around and Lilian slowly turns his head with me. In front of us stands El Rey himself. Hector Montoya. My blood runs as cold as ice. Lilian raises an eyebrow at him.

"It seems you are ready for me to make an appearance." Mister Montoya hums.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Lilian asks.

"I suppose that I can explain what SOMBRA has planned." He responds.

"Why have you done this to us?? Let us out of here! Don't kill us, please! I.... I... I am n-not going to do this again!" I exclaim.

Montoya laughs. "I wouldn't get rid of my greatest asset."

"Why are you calling him an asset?" My boyfriend asks.

"He is an asset, you should know how smart he is. How much of a technical genius he is." Montoya retorts.

"I am not just some resource! I... I'm not going to help you do anything!" I hiss.

"I can make you do anything with a little brainwashing." He said blankly.

Lilian blew air from his nose. "I'm not going to let you touch him!"

"That's why you need to be brought out of the picture." Montoya remarks.

"No! You can't do that! I... I love him!" I yell.

Montoya laughs. "Maybe I'll just let you watch me kill him then."

"No!!!!! Please, there has to be another way." I plead.

"Why don't we have a conversation with it just being the two of us?" He asks.

Lilian gives me a look and nods as if telling me to go with him. I look at him and feel my eyes go wide. Is he serious?! I was about to say something to him but he winked at me. Alright. He's got a plan cooking in that head of his. I nod my head at Hector Montoya. He smiles and steps over. Montoya unlocks the cell and I step out. As Montoya was about to close the cell, Lilian gave me another wink and his one eye flashes red. Montoya's eyes bulge out of his sockets. He goes to stop Lilian from moving but he couldn't. My dear Lili had used his power to paralyze people to paralyze the great El Rey! He goes to grab him once more but couldn't. He kisses my cheek. I just beam at him. He takes my hand and the two of us leave the room. His powers paralyze people for fifteen minutes. Lilian pulls a gun from his pocket and gets in front of me, leading me out of our captivity.

"Elliot," Lilian whispers.

"Yes, Lilian?" I whisper back.

"I will do everything in my power to protect you. I love you so much, that I will die for you."

"I don't want you to die for me. I love you too much to be without you... we need to get out of this together!"

"Hey! How did you get out of your cell?!" A voice shouts from behind, just as we were getting out of the building.

I turn around. Lilian keeps his head forward and doesn't care, trying to get us out of here, but I freeze up at the sight before me. Anbu was standing there with a gun in his hand, pointing at me. Every bit of trauma from that night comes out at this moment. I turn to a sculpture and freeze in place. Lili tugs on my arm, his eyes pleading with me to move, but I couldn't.

"Elliot! Come on!" He begs.

"Anbu, he's going to get us!" I scream.

"If you don't come with me, he will!" Lilian responds.

"But you know what he did that night-" I start but a gunshot rings out in the air and I feel a very sharp pain in my left arm.

"Elliot!" He cried out.

"He... he shot me! He shot me, Lilian!" I sob, clutching my left arm as blood pours down from the wound.

"Stay with me! I'll protect you! That bastard will pay for what he did to you!!!!" Lilian scoffs.

"Get them!! They've escaped from their cell!" Montoya shouts as he bursts from the room we were held captive in, the paralysis wearing off.

"It's two against one," Lilian mumbles.

"Please, don't get hurt," I whisper, shivering from the feeling of blood trickling down my arm.

"I can't promise anything but I will try." He returns, kissing my cheek.

After that, bullets started flying. I... I figured that I would get shot again but gladly, I didn't. Lilian raised his gun and began shooting at Anbu and Montoya. I stayed behind him, hiding and shaking. Lilian got a few hits on both of them. He hit Anbu in his right leg and the chest. He also hit Montoya in the neck, head, and shoulder. Montoya collapsed to the ground, but not before firing two shots at my boyfriend, which hit him in his left hand and right shoulder. He hissed in pain and then fired again. The shot lands, hitting Anbu in the head, right between his eyes. My boyfriend gets hit in the abdomen and he doubles over in pain. With our two assailants dead, I scooped my boyfriend into my arms and sprinted away, the adrenaline making me forget about my own pain.

I managed to get us back to HQ. I brought Lilian and myself to the infirmary. I gave Lars a sob story of what happened this afternoon and he quickly went to help us. He takes Lilian from my arms and lays him down on a bed, immediately going to remove the three bullets that were in him. I lie down too, wincing at the pain in my left arm. Lars removes the bullets and then gives him a bit of morphine. I moved my arm to caress Lilian's cheek, having chosen the bed next to him, but my arm hurt. I grit my teeth and tears trickle down my face. Lars comes over to me and gives me a little anesthesia, noting my freaked-out mood. I feel my eyelids droop and then I pass out.

I don't know how long I was unconscious. I wake up to the sound of hushed voices and a lulled feeling of pain in my left arm. I rub my eyes and sit up. Lilian was talking to Lars, smiling and looking alright. I jumped out of bed and hurried to him, giving him a tight hug and a big kiss. He seems concerned at first, but then he squeezes me back, running a hand through my hair and kissing my forehead. I lie down next to him, snuggling with him.

"I'm glad that you got help," Lili said.

"I'm so so so happy that you're alright... I... I was so scared that I would lose you." I reply.

"You two are awfully... touchy," Lars remarks.

"He's my boyfriend, of course I'm going to be touching him," Lilian responds, giving Lars a pretty smile.

"Mister 'I don't need anyone ever' has a boyfriend?" Lars asks, looking at me.

"I like how it feels," I answer.

"You said that you were incapable of feeling love." He retorts.

"People change," I murmur.

"You said your heart was as cold as ice." Lars persists.

"Lars, I need to tell you something." Lilian hums, smirking at me.

"What's that?" He inquires.

"Shut up." We say in sync, laughing as we've finally ended the teasing.
