Rescue (P.P x Reader)

Part 14

(Y/N POV)

"Guys! Hey!" I whisper yell in excitement. Harley and Wanda rush to the front of their cells. "We thought you forgot about us!" Harley says. My smile fades and turns to a look of remorse. "I'm so sorry! General Ophelia started training me, and I was so ready to try to get a grip on my powers and figure myself out that I just- I don't know, and they hid everything from me so I had no idea you were here and-"
"Hey, Y/N, it's okay. Just get us out of here now." Wanda says quietly. "Yeah what Wanda said. We're just happy to see you. And get busted out." Peter says with a happy smile. "Of course, yes absolutely, that's what we're here to do." I say and look to Nate. He moves toward Peter's cell, taps the lock with his fingers, using his powers, and the door pops open. He does the same to Wanda and Harley's doors. They all step out of their cells. I give Wanda a hug, and Harley puts an arm around my shoulders, giving me a squeeze.

Peter rushes to me and wraps me in a big hug. "Hey," I laugh into the squeeze, "I missed you too." I hug him back. We pull away, and Peter eyes Nate, who is standing to the side while we have our little reunion. "What is he doing here?" He asks with a slight glare. "Hey, I know he's the one who put you in here, but he's on our team now! He's technically rebelling against everything he knows. He's giving up a lot for this. I trust him." I say, watching as Harley and Wanda join him at the end of the hall. "Are you sure?" Peter asks. I nod again without missing a beat. "Yes."
Peter gives me a wary look, but nods in understanding. I grin and waggle my eyebrows. "Come on, we're jailhouse rockin' our way outta here, let's go." I say, and head to catch up with the other three.

Peter shakes his head with a small smile, and follows after me. Nate leads us back out the way we came, and we start heading down another hall towards the exit. Along the way, we pass my room and I grab my backpack full of a few clothes and necessities and sling it over my shoulder. I walk to the front of our group to walk next to Nate, so we can make sure Peter, Wanda, and Harley stay safe behind us. "We'll have to be very careful. There will most likely be guards posted and watching out for us." Nate whispers. Peter's head then pops in between me and Nate. "So what's the plan?" He asks me. "Well, we try to get to the exit as discreetly as possible." I shrug. Peter purses his lips and nods. "Solid plan."
I grin and elbow him in the ribs jokingly, and he smiles. "Wait, why can't you just teleport us away?" Harley pipes up from behind us. "We would, but something—or someone— is putting a dampener on our powers some how.

I'm not even that strong yet, but if it's putting a dent in Nate's abilities then I definitely can't do anything. I don't think anyway." I whisper as I turn back towards the hall in front of us. Nate peeks his head around a corner, then looks back at us. "Alright, theres an exit just around this bend, I can walk out just fine, but you four are the ones that will have difficulty..." Nate trails off in thought. He's quiet for a moment, then his face brightens. "I have an idea. Y/N, you can make yourself and all of them invisible." He says. I widen my eyes. "Nate, buddy, I don't think that's one of my abilities-"
"No it IS one of your abilities. Your file? Wasn't full of every ability you have. I only know because before you came into the training room earlier today, the General had somebody switch a page out of your file for another one. And I know when I looked at your list it was longer." He says. I look at him skeptically.

"Plus, the whole 'legend' of the Ekelektos states that she can become one with the shadows. That has to mean something." He says, his blue eyes full of hope. "Well, first of all, screw everyone in here for not telling me ANYTHING. Second, how am I even supposed to do this?" I look past Nate towards the guards at the exit. "You just have to feel it, like you did with teleporting." He puts his hands on my shoulders, looking me in the eye. "I believe you can do it. I know you can." He gives me a small, encouraging smile. I grimace more than smile in return. Peter squeezes my hand. "You can do it." He says as well, pulling me out of Nate's grasp. I take a shaky breath. "Okay. I can do this. Just feel it." I crack my knuckles. Peter and Wanda take my hands, and Harley puts his hands on my shoulders from behind. I close my eyes. What am I supposed to do, think invisible thoughts? I focus on how much I don't want us to be seen. On how much I don't want Peter, Harley, and Wanda to get hurt.

How much I don't want Nate to get hurt. I peek open one eye. Nate blinks. "I can still see you." He says. I furrow my eyebrows. "What- but it was supposed to work?" I reply in confusion. Wanda and Harley let go of me. "What are we supposed to do now?" Peter looks at Nate, who has a thoughtful look on his face. "I might just have an idea...."
~~~~~~~~~~~(𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚂𝚔𝚒𝚙)~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nate, this is the worst idea ever." I glare at him. Harley shrugs. "It's worth a shot though."
"I'm not so sure about this one-" Peter adds uneasily. Wanda looks doubtful but is going along as well. "Okay so it's settled then? I'm the distraction, you guys get out while everyone watches me, and then I leave behind you." He says. I look at him worriedly. "I don't like it. You're putting yourself in possible danger. Those guys could be set to kill you for all we know." I say. "Well, yes there is that fact. But I believe this will work. That, and we don't have many other options." He says. I sigh. We all look at each other. "Well?"

I look to the guards, and then back to Nate, who is already poised and ready to walk towards them. ".......Alright."
Nate nods, then jogs towards the guards while the rest of us stay hidden. "Men, General Ophelia requests your presence asap." I hear him say. The men look quizzically at him. "Asap?" One of them says in confusion. Nate raises an eyebrow. "Yes I- oh. It means as soon as possible." He explains with a sheepish smile. A corner of my mouth turns up and I shake my head. The guards look between each other. "Nathaniel, we don't abbreviate things as humans do. You know that right? You've been spending too much time with that human girl." The first one says. Nate stands straighter, and nods to them. "My apologies. But please, General is waiting."
The guards nod back. "Yes of course." And they're off. Wow. That was easy. Nate makes sure the coast is clear, then motions for us to come out of our hiding place. We get to where he's standing in the middle of the exit hall.

"Go. Hurry." He whispers as he keeps watch. Peter, Harley, and Wanda make it out the door, and right as I'm about to leave, someone comes into the hall. I quickly take cover behind a plant with conveniently big leaves on it. "Nathaniel!" A woman's voice calls. I peek between a few leaves of the plant. "Crap." General Ophelia is approaching Nate. "Nathaniel, where are you headed?" She asks. Nathaniel stands at attention. "Just making the rounds, General." He says, quite convincingly to my surprise. She raises an eyebrow. "Hmm. Alright. We're just keeping an eye on you. You already got a strike with the training incident." She says with a warning tone. Nathaniel nods, keeping a stoic look on his face. General Ophelia turns around and starts to walk away, but before she leaves the hall, she looks over her shoulder. "Oh, by the way, I should warn to let go of any certain, infatuations you have, Nate. Angyellos aren't meant for such things. They make you weak." She finishes, and with a final smug smirk, she leaves.

Nathaniel is still for a moment, fists at his sides. I come out of my hiding place, and walk over to him. I stand next to him and catch his gaze. "C'mon, let's get out of this heck hole." I joke, and grab his arm to pull him out the door. Then we head to meet up with the other three.....
