Chapter 11.
Chase's POV.
I was downstairs, monitoring Sel's vitals, after they had dropped last night, she being very annoyed.
"Can you just leave me alone?" She demanded just as the mission alert went off, me running towards it as I opened it, eyes widening at what it was as I grabbed my mission suit, looking at her.
"You just got your wish. I have to go on a mission and I cannot stress this enough, but stay put."
"Your wish has been granted, your majesty." Sel mocked, me rolling my eyes before going upstairs to see the rest of the team, including a eight months pregnant Skylar.
"What's the mission?" She asked.
"It's Expieron. He's using his gravity manipulation to smash buildings. We have to deal with him before he destroys Centium City." I explained.
"I'm coming with you. I'm the only person who has defeated Expieron." Skylar told me.
"Skylar, you CANNOT go. We don't want you to go into premature labor. Just stay here." I told her.
"But Chase-"
"No! I don't want you to get hurt! You will not leave this penthouse and come on the mission. Understand me?"
She nodded as she sat on the couch, crossing her arms.
"Let's go." I told the rest of the team, grabbing onto Bree's arm as she sped out the door.
Skylar's POV.
This is getting ridiculous! I'm the only person to ever take down Expieron with the exception of villains here and there, and they need my help! I went down to Mission Command to see Alexandra was gone along with Sel...this wasn't good. I immediately started to track her down with no success. Then I accidentally turned on the monitor where the team was, only to see Kaz, Bree and Chase passed out, Oliver the only one holding his ground. I immediately ran out the door and to the mission site, yelling.
"Expieron! I'm the one you want! Come and get me!"
"Skylar...don't do it." I heard Oliver groan.
"Oh good. Now you get to see me destroy your entire team. Starting with him." He told me, going towards Oliver.
"Don't you dare!" I screeched as I immediately started fighting him, him taking me down immediately.
"Just as I suspected. You're weak." He laughed as he went to fight Oliver.
I stood up, groaning as I ran in front of Oliver, a sudden burst of agonizing pain going through my body as tears filled my eyes, a scream escaping my mouth as I grabbed my stomach, sinking to the ground before my vision dotted and went black.
Oliver's POV.
"Skylar! No!" I yelled as I knelt down beside her before I saw Expieron disappear just as the rest of the team got up.
"What is Skylar doing here?" Chase demanded as he knelt down beside her, checking her pulse.
"She saved me. We need to call Alexandra and Horace." I told them, lifting Skylar in my arms.
"What happened?" Bree asked.
"Expieron kicked her stomach. We need to get back, NOW." I told them, flying back to the penthouse.
Once I got there, Alexandra took Skylar down to Mission Command with me following behind as I explained everything. Alexandra lifted up Skylar's shirt, to reveal a large bruise forming on her stomach as she let out a shaky breath. Alexandra immediately started doing a ultrasound just as Horace came down.
"I came as fast as I could. But I still have no idea what "get overheard right now" means."
"Dumb autocorrect. I meant "get over here right now."
"Horace, the babies are going into distress, not to mention Skylar is getting worse and worse. I think we need to start prepping for a emergency c section." Alexandra explained, leaving me in shock.
Horace nodded as they started getting ready, just as Skylar groaned, sitting up.
"Ugh...what happened?"
"Skylar, you need to lay back down." Alexandra said.
Skylar did so before asking again.
"Expieron kicked you in the stomach, sending the babies into distress. Horace and Alexandra are prepping you for a emergency c section." I told her, running my fingers through her hair.
Skylar nodded, sadness in her eyes as Alexandra asked.
"Are you in pain, Skylar?"
"My stomach still hurts, but I'm ok." She sniffed as I hugged her before she lost it.
"Shh. It's gonna be ok. We're gonna meet the boys today. Ok?"
She nodded, before grabbing my hand, in a rare moment of vulnerability.
"Stay with me?"
I nodded, kissing her forehead as Alexandra started prepping a IV for Skylar.
"If you don't mind, I'm not gonna look." I told Skylar, making her laugh a little before she inhaled sharply, due to the needle.
Chase's POV.
"I can't find Sel anywhere." I told them.
"So? She was a jerk anyway." Bree told me.
"She is gonna die out there. She almost died two nights in a row."
"You like her, don't you?" Kaz teased as I immediately defended myself.
"No! I can't be blamed for her death. That will come back to haunt me." I told them.
"Chase, she's someone else's problem now. We can't do anything about her." Kaz sighed as he left.
"She's right, Chase. If Sel doesn't wanna be found, we need to leave her alone." Bree told me, following Kaz.
I sighed, before remembering something. She left one of her pistols, which she will probably come back for...
