Spitfire

Chapter 7

Axel's POV

I pulled the phone away from my ear as he started screaming into it. After shutting the car off and leaning my head against the wheel I took a breath. I was driving to the arena when Jason called me freaking out about Skylar. He had fought Ranger tonight and it triggered flashbacks for her. "Yes I do, and well he is her biological father. Nothing, just leave her be, and she is probably at the black market by now." I walked into his room and snapped the phone shut.

"I knew you were going to be freaking out so i thought i might as well come.Yes, I did know about the fight and that she was coming." i started towards the fridge when he walked up pointing a finger in my face "You, YOU, Why would you let her go to the black market!?" I pushed his finger away and started digging through the fridge."You are going to adopt her then?" I snickered as he stumbled over himself "H...H..How did you know that?" I rolled my eyes "I know all little brother, i know all." Finally I found some fried chicken that wasn't too old as he sat down on the couch looking defeated. "Look J, I have been there for her for the past year, she has known me since she first came here. I know you want to take care of her, but it doesn't work that way. You have to gain her trust, and that takes time, she won't just hand out information to you. I will talk to her tonight, i haven't seen her in about a week anyways. " After pulling them out i started gnawing on them "I am her father now and she is not allowed to go to the black market it is way too dangerous for" I snickered at him "Dude, she practically owns the place, she scared Casanova, and she got 70k out of what really only costs 50k. She owns multiple weapons some of which she keeps on herself at all times. She is fine, i promise" he looked at me confused and amazed "Weapons?" I shrugged "Yeah,pistols, rifles, swords, daggers, knives, i heard that she also owns a couple antique shotguns and a machine gun, i don't think she has a machine gun though, but i do know she owns a Red Ryder and a daisy .177 pellet gun meant for target shooting" he put his face in his hands and shook his head"You have to be kidding me" I smirked and sauntered out of the door "i will keep you posted,love ya!"

I walked into my office to find it in disarray "JAKE! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE!" i heard footsteps running past my door "I DIDN'T DO IT! SPIDERMAN DID!" i shook my head, sometimes that kid can be such a handful, but i absolutely love him.

"He is very cute." Greg smiled sadly at me as he held his new baby brother.

"Yeah, he is." I put a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

"Look everything is going to turn out in the end for him I promise. Even if he does end up in the ring one day, at least he will have the best trainers and the best big brother and uncles to have gotten him more then ready for when that comes. He nodded and kissed the little ones head as he set him down.

"I know, it's just" he sighed and sat down folding his hands. "I am 17, I am already enlisted, and now I have a baby brother to take care of. Nobody saw that heart attack coming for dad. It was so" he got choked up for a second then took a breath "So sudden. I want the best for my brother, nothing else. My mom's mental health is deteriorating and she can't handle this life anymore. She grew to dislike it over time. I can't take care of two people and be a Marine at the same time."

"I will help you, all of us will help you. Promise, so what are you going to name him?" he shrugged and i looked at the small sleeping human trying to come up with a good name for him.

"Alex"

"No"

"Caden?"

"No"

"Xavier"

"No"

"Micah"

"Eh"
