Our Powers Combined ((Cry x Reader))

Fourteen; Little Brother Trouble

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

The evening wasn't as long as I though it would be. When Cry made a lot of shards he would always hit the target. After only a few tips on how to stand he could hit the targets even with only one shard. It might sound weird, but it felt good to teach someone else the stuff I had been discovering over the course of my training. 

Cry was a quick learner, which made my life a whole lot easier. "Awesome, you can hit the targets now but I want to train on moving things as well in the future." I say, the last part more to myself than to him. He nods as he tries to blindly throw a shard of ice at the target but once again hitting the barn door. "And we need to find a way to train you being prepared for everything..." I mutter with a small smile as he turns towards the barn door and sighs. 

At that moment I throw a punch his way and hit him on the shoulder. "Ow fuck." He cries out as he turns to me. "What was that for?" He asks. 

"You shouldn't let you guard down." I say with a laugh. I could only imagine the shock on the guys face and now, for the first time, I was dissapointed that he wore that mask. I would've killed to see his face right now. Although I must admit that the pokerface mask together with his surprised tone made for a pretty funny image as well. 

"I don't know when we will train again, but feel free to come around here whenever." I tell Cry, who nods quickly. "This is now also your training place, but I suggest still training together at least a few times." 

"I agree." Cry says quickly as he walks towards his motorcycle. "Thanks Hidden," He says now, his voice soft all of a sudden. "It means so much that you grant me this place to train while you didn't at all have to do that. I haven't really been much help and I am trying to change that because I still  believe that we'd be a great team." 

He looks my way before stepping onto his motorcycle and driving away. God damnit, Cry... I am starting to grow attached to you more than I planned to do...

Chad picked me up and we got back home in no time.  I told him about the training and about how Cry is actually a pretty nice guy. Chad reacted to that statement with only silence and the most surprised look I had ever seen the man make. 

As we arrived home, a familiar looking car stood parked in front of it. "Chad, does that red car over there look familiar to you too?"  I ask as I carefully step out of the vehicle we're in and step closer to the parked one. 

"No,"  Chad answers as he follows my movement and joins me to look at the car a little closer. "Why? Do you recognise it?"  

I nod as I step closer and look inside the car. A pair of eyes stares back at me and I raise both my eyebrows at the person. "Aaron?" I say softly as the boy inside the car opens it up and rushes out of it before giving me a hug. 

"Hey sis!"  He says way too loud for someone who has their mouth next to my ear. "I knew you lived here, wasn't sure as you didn't open up but there you are." 

"Aaron, what the fuck are you doing here?"  I ask as he lets me go. "Especially in mom's car..."

Aaron chuckles lightly as he rubs the back of his neck. "Look, with you gone to a dangerous part of town and dad not being the least afraid of something happening to you because he knows you can take care of yourself mom went insane, man. I had to get out of there or I would've gone insane myself."  

"So, you stole mom's car, drove all the way to the other part of town while you do not own a license and you just assumed that I'd have a bed ready for you?" I ask with a smirk. Of course the kid would be able to stay with me, but the best thing about having a younger brother is that you can scare him as much as you want.

"I mean, I mailed you but you didn't answer." His eyes have gone wide and his voice betrays the fact that he is shocked by my reaction. "If you don't have any place then I will go back, sorry to bother you."  

I pull him into another hug quickly. "Of course you can stay with us." I push him back a bit to look into his eyes, which is fairly easy as we're almost the same height, even though there is four years between us. "Only if you send mom a message that you stole her car and that it wasn't stolen by some weird punk."  

Chad quickly introduces himself to Aaron before opening the door for us. Aaron rushes inside to check the place out when Chad dives in after him quickly. He runs passed my brother and locks the door towards the living room before we can even get close to it. 

"Woah, what is that about?" Aaron asks me with a raised eyebrow. "Are you sure the dude you live with isn't hiding anything?" 

"No, he isn't. He probably just forgot to clean something up." I answer quickly. "Like the dishes or some clothes." Or a superhero suit and the blueprints for new and moving practice targets...

Chad opens the door a little while later and we show Aaron around a bit, after that we push him towards Chad's bedroom where he will spend the night. Chad has been so nice to sleep on the couch before we figure out better sleeping arrangments tomorrow. 

Chad makes us some tea before sitting down on the couch with me. He turns the television on and cranks up the volume so he knows for sure that Aaron won't hear us. "Okay, so we need a plan to keep working but also keep this whole Hidden Death thing a secret."  Chad sighs. 

"To be honest with you, I don't think he will stay long. When we make him send a message to our mom tomorrow she will probably order him back home." I say and Chad takes a small while to think about that. 

"Or she orders him to stay here because the drive back would be to dangerous."  He has a point. "Whatever happens and whoever stays, we need a good plan. I was just in time today to hide everything and the daggers under your bed need a better hiding space as well." 

"This is going to be a long night, isn't it?"  I ask with a small sigh. The only answer I get is a small nod, followed by a sigh that sounds exactly like mine.
