What is Love?

Discoveries

Sharkboy looked through his spyglass, trying
find some clue, something. But I could only see miles of water. James, who had recently embarked to accompany his son in search of his daughter-in-law, Acapella, Spaghetti and Missy stayed at home under the care of a nanny. Anitta comes to him "Send the Falcões to look for something. I'm afraid we're on the wrong route Anitta "Shark, I sent one of them not even an hour ago"
"It doesn't matter Anitta! We can't waste time!" He answers
"Sharkboy are you okay?" Marcos asks
"Of course I'm not okay! Lavagirl has been taken!" It changes
"I know, I know, stupid question of mine" he raised his hands in apology.
"What are they doing with her?" He asks
"Lavagirl has already put up with a lot in this life, dear. She's going to get out of this" Anitta concludes
"I feel guilty! If I had stayed with her or taken her, nothing would have happened! Besides, that contraption doesn't move!" He complained, knocking on the boat's wood. He felt Marcos' hand squeezing his shoulder.
"We're going to do everything we can to find her. I'm going to prepare the birds, I'll send two now" Sharkboy thanked him, seeing that Marcos had released two Falcons that took flight immediately. He was happy watching until they disappeared from sight. He needed to rest somehow, he sat on a chair and rested his head on the boat's side, he felt the sun burning his skin. The day was beautiful, favorable for the trip, but I didn't know how long I was behind the kidnappers. He ended up being defeated by tiredness, he hadn't slept since Lavagirl was taken, he ended up dozing off in that position. He woke up with Anitta stroking his hair. Anitta was serious, she liked that fiery girl. Sharkboy knew she was hiding something.
"What it was?"
"What do you mean darling?"
"You're hiding something from me."
"It's nothing, darling"
"Anitta, please, it's my wife we're talking about"
"I'm worried because she was feeling weak, that's all. But I know my Lavagirl and I know she'll hold on."
"You, Vox and your father are very strange"
"Lavagirl was taken, Shark. We're all weird" His father argues
"Sure that's all?" He stares at Anitta and her father
"Well...Anitta, come here, I need to talk to you alone!" James calls her to a small room on the boat
Anitta follows him and they start talking
"What is it James?"
"You know, Axel is very strong!"
"But everyone knows this, it's not a secret"
"There's something I didn't tell you about Axel"
"What would it be?"
"Axel is Sharkboy's mother"
"What, what do you mean? I demand an explanation!"
"Speak quietly, otherwise he will listen! Axel was married, and had 3 children: Noah Sharkboy, Musa and Athena Sharkgirl. During a heroic attack, her house was invaded, and she was in combat. Musa and Athena were more old women, and Sharkboy, just a month old baby. They were alone, because her ex abandoned her because she was unable to give birth to a boy. However, after her departure, Axel discovered she was pregnant and hid to avoid contact with the Sharkboy's father. That night, they tried to catch him, but his sisters fought to the death to defend him. After the death of Athena and Musa, Axel swore to end every heroic thing in the world. Axel married me, he was a bit skittish and wild. She left Sharkboy with me to protect him, raising him like a normal boy"
"Are you telling me you're not Sharkboy's blood father?"
"Yes, and she has the same powers as Sharkboy"
"What do we do?"
"Better tell him...can you call him here please?"
Anitta does as asked, and in a matter of seconds, there was Sharkboy.
"So dad, what's so important about you?" He sits
"Axel is your mother, son"
"What? What's it like? What's this nonsense?" Sharkboy changes
"Calm down darling, let James explain" Anitta holds him
"Axel was married, and had 3 children: you, Musa and Athena Sharkgirl. During a heroic attack, your house was invaded, and your mother was in combat. Musa and Athena were older, and You, just a baby of months. They were alone, because her ex, her biological father, abandoned her because he was unable to give birth to a boy. However, after he left, Axel discovered she was pregnant and hid to avoid contact with your father. That time night, they tried to catch him, but his sisters fought to the death to defend him. After the death of Athena and Musa, Axel swore to end every heroic thing in the world. Axel married me, he was a bit skittish and wild. She left you with me to protect him, raising him like a normal boy"
"Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"You were very little, after you grew up you were worried about your heroic career, and about Lavagirl"
Sharkboy starts crying, how was that possible? Your mother? It was a lot on your mind
"Son, she's dangerous! She's as strong as you!"
"What do you mean, dad? Lucky for us, this demon is my mother and has powers? I want her to die! She doesn't care about me, and she still took away the person I love most, who shouldn't have to pay for my sins"
"My love, that doesn't take away the fact that she's your mother. I just want you to be prepared for what we're going to face" James hugs him
"I would face anything to have her" His father looked at him with affection, he saw a lot of Axel in his son, not much physically, but their genius was the same. Stubborn, loving and above all loyal to those they loved. She kissed his forehead and hugged him.
"I know son"
°Meanwhile°
The pale woman had truly delivered on what she promised. She was fed fish stew, bread and a mug of water. But later Einar came to get her for further interrogation. Lavagirl found herself in a dark room where the only lighting was on her, through a circular window, she was trapped in the middle of the room and faced the man. The woman was also present, but she didn't say anything, she just watched her, other allies were also beside her, but they were more silent than the leader, if that was possible. She silently endured all the barbarities they were doing to her. He couldn't control the tears that came out of his eyes, but he bit his tongue all the time to keep from letting out the screams trapped in his throat.
"Come on girl! Where did your little friends go? He was already frustrated with her stubbornness. His face was all red.
"Boss, can we try something else? She doesn't want to open her mouth"
"What do you propose?" He asked with
calm voice, as if watching a beautiful landscape.
"We know that women are afraid of one thing more than the others," he said with a morbid smile on his lips.
"You know the rules Einar"
"But she is a juicy piece of meat, my lady"
At that moment the pale woman stood up and, with agility, walked towards the man who must have been three times her size, grabbed him by the neck and squeezed tightly. Everything happened in seconds, Lavagirl was amazed at the leader's graceful movements, she looked like an animal. His eyes were furious.
"Never disobey me again. Rules are rules!" And threw him to the ground. He coughed to breathe. And she sat back down in the chair, as if nothing had happened. Lavagirl, no matter how hurt and fragile she was at the moment, admired the woman, she was a born warrior, she was able to see her technical movements, if she hadn't been the one doing all this, maybe she could have
want to learn from her. Einar stood up, adjusting his posture, and looked at his boss with shame.
"What should I do?"
-"I suppose it's time for the whip" Lavagirl began to despair. He could handle water, he could handle paddles, because none of those interfered so much with his body.
"I believe someone didn't like the idea" Einar declared, holding her face. The leader just evaluated her
"Take the whip for me" Axel says
"Should I undress you, ma'am?" Einar asks.
"No need, the clothes are thin." Einar left the room for a few moments, returning shortly afterwards with a whip in his hand, it was long and made of dragon hide. Einar positioned himself behind Lavagirl who
She was still stuck in the chair, her heart was pounding in her chest. He started to raise his hand to strike.
"No!" Lavagirl spoke for the first time yet. This made Einar hold back the movement and the leader move a little closer.
"Do you want to tell us something, Lavagirl?" Said the boss in the sweetest voice she should be able to utter. Lavagirl was crying now, fuck what they would think of her, fuck if she was going to look weak, she couldn't go through with this.
"Lavagirl?" She repeated in the same voice. Seeing that the prisoner remained silent, just shaking with the sobs she gave. She made a movement with her head to get Einar back into position, but it didn't go unnoticed by the heroic prey who was staring at her.
"Please do not!" She starts begging again"
"It's very simple dear, we just need some information"
"Please!" pleaded the girl.
"Lavagirl that's not how it works, you know that. Einar!"
She realized that her pleas were of no use and that they were going to continue, it was then that despair spoke for her:
"NO! PLEASE NO! I'M PREGNANT! PLEASE!" Shouted Lavagirl in despair
