THIS IS KINDA SAD, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME. COMMENT A LOT, OKAY?

-Louis-

"So, you guys are superheroes?" I heard the little girl that Athena helped ask. Liam and Harry looked at each other for a moment, both of their faces contemplating on whether, or not the term 'superheroes' is a good word to label us with.

"Kind of." Liam replied. "We save lives, but sometimes we make very bad decisions, which makes us bad guys."

She looked at them with a confused expression, before swinging her legs back and forth slowly. "Do you have powers?" She asked, Harry nodding his head quickly. This made her face light up, which made me smile and become a little homesick. She reminded me of my little sisters, which only made me want to protect.

"I can make a fire form in my hand." Harry told her, before holding his palm out in front of him and igniting a small flame for her to view. She looked at the flame and giggled, her tiny mind finding the fire amusing.

"I control people and things with my mind," Liam began, before turning his body sideways to look at Harry. He poked Harry's shoulder, making him stare at his fiancé. "I can make Harry do whatever I want."

"Really?" Andi said, Liam nodding in agreement.

"Yup, and right now, I want him to walk up to Mr. Louis and hug him tight." Liam added, pointing at me. I shook my head, backing away from Harry and them as much as I could, causing Andi to laugh loudly. Harry walked up to me and trapped me in a hug, making Liam laugh along with the little girl.

She made me excited to become a father.

"Liam, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked once Harry let go of me and walked towards Andi. He nodded, patting her shoulder gently, before he and I went to a different room. Once we were sure no one could hear us, I ran my hands over my face and sighed in frustration. "I love Athena more than anyone and anything thing on this planet. I wanted to let her fight in this war, because that's what she wanted, but now that this thing is getting bigger than we expected, I don't want her getting off the plane once we land."

"I understand, Louis, but you know she won't take that. She wants to fight. You can try and stop her and tell her 'no', but she won't listen."

"She's so freaking stubborn and it aggravates me, but her stubbornness is one of the things I love about her," I sighed, hiding my face in my hands. "With everything that happened earlier with Logan, the war, and the baby, and her degree, she's completely stressed out."

Liam nodded in understanding, before I lifted my head to find Natalie standing in the doorway. Liam and I looked at each other, as my mother-in-law slowly made her way towards us. "I know you love Athena, Louis, but she's going to make her own choices. She knows what the consequences will be if she fights, and if she stays on plane."

"I'm supposed to keep her safe, Natalie. I made her that promise when we got married. I have her, and the baby to protect. They are my priorities, now."

"You-" Just as she went to respond, the plane shook, sending me flying off the bench. "What the hell?!"

"Liam! We have a problem!" I heard Josie tell from the front of the plane, as the three of us ran up front, a thick cloud of black smoke in front of the window. "We've been hit! Engine two is fried!"

"Turn on the backup, Harry!" Liam yelled. Harry reached above him, flipping the black switch multiple times, only to be let down when it didn't work. "Shit! The backup is out!"

I looked over towards Andi, seeing a worried and scared look on her face. I walked up to her quickly, offering my hand for her to grab. She looked at me in fear, slowly putting her hand in mine. "I'm going to take you to Athena, okay?" She nodded, following behind me quickly.

Once I reached Athena, she was sitting on the cot, her face hidden from the world. "Baby," I said letting go of Andi's hand and walking towards my wife, grabbing her face in my hands gently, forcing her to look at me. "You and Andi need to get out of here. I'll get your mother, Josie, and Kristine, but you two need out of here. Now."

"No, I'm not leaving you." She said, big tears forming in her eyes. I scanned her face, before being jerked forward. The warning alarm rang, telling me the last engine was blown.

"Athena, you need to get out of here. I can't risk you getting hurt!" I shouted, walking over to the cabinet and pulling out a parachute made for two. I helped Athena to her feet, as I attempted to put it on her. "Listen to me: it's a possibility we are going to be split up-"

"Louis, no-"

"-I need you to take Andi and hide somewhere once you touch down, okay? I want you to wait there for me-"

"I'm not leaving without you!"

"-If I don't find you-"

"Stop! Don't think like that!" She sobbed, grabbing my face in her hands and looking at me directly. "Please don't think like that."

"I love you. You're the best thing that happened to me, and I need you to remember that." I told her, trying to fight back tears. "You need to jump; save yourself and Andi. The other girls won't be to far behind."

"Louis, please-" I silenced her plead by connecting our lips together, the taste of salty tears evident. It broke my heart to see her cry and beg for me to go with her, but I couldn't do that. At this point, her life was more important than my own. I needed to be the hero she deserved. I pulled away from her, her eyes clenched shut. I picked Andi up and hooked her up tight to Athena's parachute, before opening the hatch and grabbing the rail above me. "Louis!"

"Please jump, Athena! Please! You need to go now!" I cried, as Josie, Natalie, and Kristine appeared beside me. Liam must've told them what I was thinking.

"I-"

"I will find you, Athena! I promise!" I hollered, as Josie grabbed Athena's hand on pulled her off the plane, Athena yelling my name once she was in the air.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and sighed, running up to the front of the plane to be with Harry and Liam. "We gotta ditch the plane, guys! We're descending rapidly!" Harry yelled.

"Are we over water?! If we can aim the plane towards the water, we'll be able to swim to shore!" Liam yelled back, as we all watched out the front window, Harry steering the plane towards water as much as he could. Once he was sure we could make it, he threw off the headset and grabbed Liam's hand, as we ran towards the open hatch and jumped.

After that, I blacked out.
