Testing the Waters (A Miniminter Fanfiction)

Chapter 5 - Hidden Underneath

-Simon's Pov-

I hit the ground in frustration, hearing the thunder rumble above me.

I wiped the brown curl out of her face, seeing her eyelashes meet the bottom of her black mask, hiding the color of her blue eyes.

Ethan stood beside me, checking her pulse on her wrist. "We need to get her to Tobi." He rushed, lowering her wrist to the concrete.

"I'll carry her." I offered, seeing the others crowd around me.

I threw her cape over my arms so it hung over, only an inch from touching the ground. I picked her up, feeling the water and blood soak onto my arms.

"Are you going to make a tornado and travel in it?" I heard Tobi ask from my earpiece. "It is the quickest way to get here."

"But the damage it will cause. I am in the middle of the city with so many people and buildings. They will certainly have me wanted." I mumbled, looking at the others.

"You are already wanted." JJ said.

I heard him groan, the snapping of the keyboard was clearly heard through his microphone. "Either you are going to save her or kill her. The longer you wait, the worse she gets. And you can prevent destruction if you focus hard enough."

I cursed under my breath, looking up at the sky. "Ready?" I asked the others who held onto there masks and hoods so the wind wouldn't blow it away.

"Hurry!" Vikk urged. "She is getting pale." He pointed.

The wind and clouds turned instantaneously, seeing the small pieces of concrete get swept off the roof, making a small air pocket for us to stand on and not get hit by debris.

I looked down and saw her hair flipping back and forth, reminding me of Samantha when she showed up to work with the messed up hair, but snapped out of my memories and back onto the tornadoes path.

In the corner of my eye, Josh made small movements towards me, cautious of his surroundings.

"Simon." He shouted over the roaring wind. "Let me hold her. You need to focus on the tornado, not dropping her."

My eyes only flickered at him for a second, before shaking my head. "I am not letting go. It is my fault she got shot." I growled.

During the fight, she wasn't used to the environment that we fought in. Instead of superspeed and teleportation, she had so much more going on around her. I should have been more cautious with her being on a different battlefield that her usual.

He tilted his head, brushing his hand though his messy hair so he could see me better. "It isn't. It is all of our faults. Now just let me handle her."

"Not happening." I shouted back, seeing the treehouse in the distance.

I paced the wooden floorboards, running the wet and wild brown hair out of my face.

Tobi has been working on her for an hour, not letting us see her because her identity would be compromised.

Everyone was out resting after the fight, but I couldn't sleep. I felt bad for what I did, I couldn't leave her. It didn't feel right.

Harry didn't understand the fuss I was making. He watched me pace with a raised eyebrow as he ate dried shredded wheat cereal.

"What are you doing?" He asked confused.

I turned to him, crossing my arms. "Waiting."

"For what?" He said, placing his bowl to the floor to get up. "You know the dangers of what can happen if she finds out who we are. And vice versa. She may be unconscious right now, but only a little information can go a long way."
