Lydia's POV

"Okay we gotta get out of this bathroom, break the door down." I order Marc who just smirks at me shaking his head. "Why don't you break the door down?" Ruffling my hair in response, I honestly thought Marc was smarter than that. "Because I'm a lady..." 

He laughs at me, going on about how he's in a towel, doesn't have his strength like he use to-before we both hear screams in the distance. I only had to look at Marc for a second before we're both trying to break down the door. Oh shit, if I was strapped like the beginning of the book I would've been gone in a puff of smoke. 

"MARC!" That was Mia that time, and I kicking it but nothing. It's like something heavy is in front of it. I have no weapons, "Marc you gotta dig deep!" I shout at him when the fear in his eyes settle. Grabbing his face I make him look in my eyes, "Listen our people are out there right now, Mia, the kid, Wade, my kid. You better get us out of here or else-" 

With massive force I'm tossed across the bathroom into the shower, covering my eyes when I noticed the bright light coming from Marc. When it was all over I uncover myself from the shower curtain to see Marc in all his wing glory.

Marc falls to his knees, probably from the weight of the wings. Crawling over to him I reach out to hold his shoulders. "You good?" He pants looking up at me and I nod, smiling at him a little. "You good?" He shrugs before letting me help him to his feet. 

Luckily he was clothed at this point, and he with one strike the door is destroyed and he flies out of the room. I smirk in triumph, and within seconds he flies back into the room. Towering over me with flared nostrils, 

"Marc don't be mad!" Mia yells from outside the bathroom along with the kids who were giggling under the impression it was a joke. Wade even encouraged Marc to chill out but there was no calming down an angel with renewed abilities under the assumption that his family is under attack. "If you hurt her I'll send a ninja star up your-." Wade threatens when it was silent. 

"Wade... kids." Mia says sternly...

Marc turns away from me to order everyone to leave, that he needed a minute with me alone. That's when Wade tosses me a knife, "I got you." He tells me before following Mia down the hall away from the room. Marc turns back to me with crossed arms. 

"Explain what the hell just happened?" 

Rolling my eyes, "Well when you were telling me all the excuses why you couldn't open the door that's when I randomly thought of Mia. Texting her to scream for Marc as if she's in trouble, put Wade it in with a few gun shots, break a few things to really sell it. I knew it would work," 

He stares at me for a really long time. I guess he's soaking in the harsh reality of my motives, sure it was wrong to do that to him but he was holding his wings out for too long. It was time to get them back, screw higher counsel, if they want another fight they'll have me to face off as well. Ya know until Marc actually fails and that's when I'm marrying Mia and raising our kids together... I told you that story right? 

Right. 

Anyway, 

"You brought back my wings by putting Mia in fake danger?" He repeats and I nod with a small smile. I explained with how he needed a push, and since Mia didn't care about your wings coming back I sensed that you still needed them. "That's your sense of identity no matter what. So in this moment I randomly thought of it, and it worked. So Merry Christmas, Happy birthday, and Thanks-Oh." 

He wrapped me up in his arms, I mean sure this moment crossed my mind but I still wasn't the biggest 'hug' person. Now when it comes to Mia of course I'd be all over her... "Just accept the hug like I'm accepting these wings from you-" 

"Me and Mia. She didn't have to go along with my plan but she knows that you're wings are important too. So she deserves some love-" I tell Marc but he only squeezes me tighter, whispering in my ear. "Yea but you deserve love, here." I felt his hand at the nape of my neck before I feel the embrace of Jake around me. Reaching up I wrap myself around him, snuggling my face in his chest, hearing his cute jokes. Gosh life was hard without him, Marc's hand moved from my neck and Jake disappears. "What was that?" 

"I can transfer him sometimes," Of course he can. I didn't complain it was nice to feel Jake again. And this time I was actually hugging Marc as we stayed in a long highly intimate hug but it didn't matter because no matter what Marc was growing to be my friend, like a different kind of friend. I mean we went from business partners, to protectors fighting over custody of Mia, to having a deep bond over Jake. 

Through Mia we had love and hate for each other, that was highlighted when Marc loss his wings. But our bond grew more when apparently I had feelings for him, to where he wanted to fly me to a hospital, to the point he didn't want to stop me from happiness. The first person to say that so bluntly was Jake. Marc just wants me to be happy, and doesn't matter if it's Wade or not. He wishes me happiness, just like Jake. 

So why not return the favor and give him his wings back? "I hope you use those wings for good this time around. Actually be worthy of them. And make Mia the happiest woman on the planet." I say to Marc, 

"I will, you have my word." 

Pulling away from Marc I watch him fall in love with his wings, and that's when he looks at me one last time. "Thanks Lydia," He leans in to kiss my forehead and I slightly push him along, "Go after your wife and kids. They wanna see your wings too." Nodding he flies out of the room. 

Left alone in the room I cross my arms, I did a good thing today. Wade knocks on the frame before walking in, "I can't believe it worked. You gave him his wings back Lydia. That's awesome." 

"Well it was Mia's screams that really pushed him to get his wings-" He pulls me into his arms and pecks my lips. "You're an amazing woman Lydia." I giggle a little when the first thing comes to my mind spills out of my mouth. "I know."

A/N: It's a short chapter, I just wanted to add in Marc's wings. I like this, and the evolution of Marc and Lydia's relationship because they are true friends but aren't bonded by their love for Mia anymore. Like they could carry a conversation alone now. 

They are the only two people who have a bond for Jake, they can talk about Mia, but Lydia confides in Marc differently from Mia. Like for example when she killed Jessica, Marc didn't seem all that offended by her graphic nature. I mean he lets her use his private plane! 

And Lydia gives Marc his wings back, like they are truly good friends who have each other's backs and know what the hell is happening between the lines. For example when Marc wishes Lydia for happiness whether it's with or without Wade.... between the lines people!
