Dominick
"Ready to stay calm" I repeat.
He laughs. "I know, Dom! I got this!"
"I know you do, just don't do anything stupid to get yourself killed" I say and he laughs harder.
"You ready?" dad asks us and we nod.
"Just a light one for Oliver" Nico says.
"Nothing too crazy until he can keep up with the big dogs" Bailey winks and Oliver drops his jaw.
"Nah, he's got it!" Levi laughs.
"I do!" Oliver huffs.
"Don't be sad" Caleb laughs and I smack my forehead.
"Are they coming yet?" Dean groans.
"Maybe saw you and decided to leave" Lovely says and Dean drops his jaw.
I burst out laughing.
A gun shot is heard and we immediately run out.
I say near Oliver, but not to where it's obvious I'm guarding him.
I shoot a man in the knee and he falls down, and before I can get on him, Oliver does.
He pulls out his gun and repeatedly hits him in the head with it as if he's been doing this for years!
My eyes widen and he stabs him in the heart.
"That was fun" Oliver laughs and shoots men down.
I laugh and someone jumps on my back, so I throw him over my shoulder and stomp on him, shooting him in the head.
I run off, keeping a close eye on Oliver who's gutting a man.
Hm, maybe he is advanced.
I run under a mans legs and throw him into a tree, causing him to lose his breath.
I slice his throat and swing around, decapitating a man behind me.
Dad hangs a man and the twins team up together, having each other's back while Nico and Bailey shoot.
Lovely stays with Dean, well more like, Dean stays with Lovely, and they work together.
I'm stabbed right in the side, so I throw around and pick the man up, chopping both his arms off and throwing him in the lake where he drowns.
"FUCKER!" I shout.
"Good one!" Oliver laughs, cutting a man open.
I shake my head and see a man sneaking behind Oliver, so my instincts kick in and I throw a throwing star at his head.
Right before I talk, a glass bottle is throwing over my head.
Glass gets all in me, causing pain and my head to bleed.
Oliver runs up behind him and chops his head off.
Blood runs all down my body and Oliver's eyes widen. "ARE YOU OKAY?!"
"Mhm" I run and he follows me.
"TIME OUT!" dad shouts and throws a grenade before running to me. "HOLY FUCK!"
Levi gasps. "I CAN PULL THEM O-"
"NO!" everyone shouts at him.
"Sheesh, tried to help" Levi scoffs.
"Lets get you to the hospital to get this out" dad helps me to the car, which I don't need.
Everyone gets in and we speed to the hospital where I get staples in my head.

"You did good out there, kid. You're gonna go far" I walk in with my hands in the pockets of my sweatpants.
"Gee, thanks" he smiles.
"Gonna stay a Red Hooder?" I sit next to him.
He smiles, nodding. "Yeah! How's your head?"
"Hurts" I laugh.
"How did Lyla take it? Bet she was mad" he chuckles and I tightly smile.
"Yes, that's why I'm in here with you" I say and we both burst out laughing.
"Living here isn't so bad! Like... having friends and shit" he says and I smile.
"Dude, I'm glad. We like having you around, you blend in!" I laugh.
He laughs along. "Awesome! At first I didn't like everyone"
"I was the same exact way" I chuckle.
"I like Lyla though-"
"Don't even think about it" I raise an eyebrow.
He laughs. "Not like that! I mean, she's cool! Her, Evelyn, and Lovely! And you!! Like, you're like my big brother!"
I smile.
"Always there for you, kiddo" I ruffle his hair. "We all are"
"I just miss my mom. A lot... how did you adapt to Aria?" he asks me.
I clench my jaw. "Well, it took a year for me to call her mom. And I don't even need to consider that as she's only my dads girlfriend. But I see my mama in Aria. They're the same soul and I fell in love with that in the start, I was just having meltdowns thinking my mama would hate me for liking a new woman, but she would want this. She would want me to consider someone else mom"
"So, it's cool if I just hang here? Y'know, without being adopted?" he looks down.
"Of course, dude! But know, we're gonna treat you like an Archer" I laugh, putting him in a headlock and ruffling his hair.
"I'm so down for that!" he smiles. "I'm glad I finally found a home"
I release him from my grip. "Me too. Me too"
"And... I didn't wanna ask, but I'm so fucking nosy. What's with Lyla? I always hear her crying at night" he frowns.
I sigh. "It's our son"
"Oh no... what's wrong?!" he asks.
"She's uh, she's having the symptoms of a miscarriage" I say and he gasps. "But I know it won't happen, it's a Dominick Archer baby! But she's getting way better about it. She didn't cry last night and that's a huge improvement"
"I-I'm sorry..." he looks down.
"Don't be! It's not gonna happen" I stand up. "Well I better deal with baby momma"
He laughs. "Night, Dominick"
"Night, Oll" I leave his room and walk into mine to see Lyla laying down with her phone in her hands. "Hey" I lay next to her.
"Hey! How'd the talk go with Oliver?" she puts her phone down. "Is he gonna stick with us? Am I gonna have a buddy in the fights?!"
I laugh and nod. "Yeah, he's staying. He wants this to be his forever home..."
"That's great!!" she chirps. "Why do you look sad?"
"He doesn't wanna be an Archer" I say.
"What's so bad about that? He's still a Red Hooder" she laughs and I look at her, clenching my jaw.
"I kinda wanted to adopt him"
