CheckMate (A Luke Castellan fan fic. OC CHARACTER)

Time

Sort of a fluff/smut scene I guess. Not very graphic. I wrote this with no WiFi. I was camping.

Luke's POV

   I held her in my arms. Barely, her wings triple her body mass. She wasn't awake. She weakened herself so much today. Nico was being held against a wall by Max. We were at base for a solid ten minutes before I had to come back for her. I couldn't leave my Love like that. I knew she hated her life without me. She's told me several times.
        "Max we have to go." I kicked Percy in the head again. His nose was bleeding. Max dropped an unconscious Nico and took out the remote and grabbed hold of my shoulder and we teleported to base.

Raphaels POV

 
   I was in someone's arms. There was a rough blanket type thing around me. I started to squirm. The arms held me tighter and I started to freak out a bit. "Love it's just me. Calm down." I let out a small sigh and leaned up against him. I looked around. We were in a small bedroom/office. The walls were gray and there was a desk to our left.
           "Go back to sleep. It's to early." I checked my watch. "It's noon." His eyes shot open. "Shit. I have a meeting in ten minutes. I'm taking you with me." I let my wings out and wrapped them tightly around us. "Stay.... please." I begged giving him puppy eyes. He bit his lip. "Please daddy." I whispered in his ear. I could feel his erection pressing up against my knee. I laughed. I brought my hand up his thigh and to his pants. I kissed the tip of his nose.
    I unbuckled his belt and his pants. I slipped my hands over his bulge and started to rub it. He leaned his head back and took deep breaths. I slipped my hand in his boxers and began to stroke him. He let out a small groan. Pre cum dripped off his tip and onto my hand.
        A knock on the door made me jump and put his dick away. He buttoned his pants and I tucked my wings in pretended to be sleeping. "Enter!" He whisper yelled. I didn't get to see who it was. Luke picked my head up. I fluttered my eyes open. "We have to go Love."
    I groaned tucking my head back into his shoulder. "I will pick you up again." I rolled off of him and onto the other side of the bed. He took the blanket off of me and sat up. Still trying to hide his erection. There was a man at the door. Max I think his name was?
      I sat up. My back hurt. "There's a meeting in five minutes. You're both required to attend." He said. I rolled my eyes. Luke nudged me. Max left us. "We should get going. Come on I'll show you around a bit." He got up and I followed. He opened the door and I was met with the sun. I hissed.
     "That's the kitchen, the lounge, the other rooms, the dining room, the bathrooms, and the meeting hall." I nodded. He had a small map of sorts on the wall. He took me by my hand and led me to the meeting hall. People were filing in. He let go of my hand and everybody moved out of his way. My way I guess too, since I was behind him. I fixed my collar and my jacket. I readjusted my glasses.
        He sat in a swivel chair on the front side of the table. I stood behind him awkwardly. Max came over with another swivel chair to match the others surrounding the big business table. I sat down. I picked at my cuticles. There were faces all staring at me. Some actually looked familiar to me. Not many though.
      The doors closed and Luke started talking. Max sat at the other end of the table. They addressed certain people I just fidgeted with my feet and intertwined my feet with Luke's under the table. I heard my name but didn't comprehend it. Luke poked my shoulder. I looked up. People were all staring at me. I blushed. "Like I was saying this is Raphael. You will treat her with the same respect you treat me. You don't.... you're out." He looked over at me. I must've have shown some sort of frustration on my face. "Raphael you good?" He whispered the last part to me. "I can't get my wings out. I can't even tell their in there right now." I whispered.
         It's true I couldn't. Usually there's a certain full feeling in my back like a sting of sorts. But now I couldn't feel them at all. I was just slightly freaking out. He grabbed my hand. "Just keep trying okay. We can take a look in a minute or so." I nodded. I kept trying. Before I knew I was getting dizzy. I balanced my head on my hand that was propped against the table. I tried one last time trying to get my wings out. They sprung out violently. Making several people gasp. The chair flew out from under me and I fell on my ass. "Bloody hell that hurt." I mumbled.
       Luke smirked. "Meeting dismissed." The crowd dispersed. Luke bent down to me and ran his fingers over them. I purred slightly. Luke walked over to the wall. He pressed a button on the wall and said: "Brooklyn to the meeting hall, Brooklyn to the meeting hall."
    He came back over and inspected my wings a bit. A young girl walked in. She had long blonde hair and a freckled face. Bright blue eyes eyes and a sleeve of tattoos.
              She bent down to me. "May I touch your wings?" She asked. She had the slightest hint of a British accent. I gulped. "C-carefully." She nodded her head. She ran her fingers gently over them and I tried not to let out a purr. "The left joint is displaced. I don't know how but I'll need to fix it." Luke held my hand. She counted down and set her hands on my wing joint and snapped it back in place. I let out a small scream. She took her hand off of it and wrapped it in something. Luke kissed my forehead that was slightly sweaty. It takes a lot of energy to hide my wings and so forth.
I stood back up warily. Luke wrapped a hand around my waist the steady me. Brooklyn still was lightly putting pressure on my left wing. I winced once she pressed to hard. "Sorry. Your wing is fine as long as you don't fly on it for at least seven hours." My heart sank. If I didn't keep to my schedule and stay active and fly for at least an hour every day I wouldn't be able to fly. In seven hours it'll be eight o'clock and it will be dark. Which means I won't be able to see! I guess mortal bodies aren't made to have wings. I just nodded my head.
She left the room. Luke kissed my neck. "You hungry?" "Absolutely fucking starving." He laughed. He started to walk away and I followed. There weren't many people in the halls but the people who were in the halls avoided his gaze and moved out of the way. I kept my gaze down and just followed him. He turned and I ran into someone, since I didn't expect to turn all of a sudden. "Oops sorry." I mumbled and continued to follow Luke who didn't know I ran into someone.
        I ran back to his side. He opened a sliding door and we were in a kitchen. It was one of those modern yet traditional kitchens. Almost farmhouse. He motioned for me to sit down and I sat down on the stool by the island.
    He walked over to the huge fridge. "What you in the mood for Love?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Food." He rolled his eyes and grabbed a small container. He walked over to the microwave and took the lid off popping it in there. He pressed a button and leaned across the island looking at me. I didn't notice he was at the time. I just picked at my nail polish and hummed to myself. The kitchen door slid open. I turned my head. It was the girl I ran into in the hallway.
     I turned my attention back to my nails and she sat down next to me. The microwave beeped and I jumped a bit. "Jumpy aye." The girl said. "Oh hey Milo. Milo, Raphael. Raphael, Milo."
     She held a hand out for me to shake. I shook it warily. She was stunning, she had long dark blue hair in hundreds of small braids. Her hair was longer than mine!! Her golden brown skin was flawless, no acne nothing. She really was drop dead gorgeous. She was staring at my wings. They were almost taking up two seats. They were bigger than me after all.
     I looked up at Luke. I tucked my wings in to stop the staring. "How's the crew Milo?" Luke asked. He handed me a container of what appeared to be chicken nuggets from McDonald's. I put one in my mouth. Luke and Milo started to discuss plans. I just ate and thought by myself. Not that I minded. My phone that I completely forgot was in my back pocket started to vibrate. Someone was calling me. I took it out of my back pocket. Nico was calling me. I looked to Luke. "Do I answer or..."
    "You can if you want Love. Don't give away anything." I nodded my head and stood outside the kitchen entrance and answered it.

  
   "Hey..."

   "Oh my fuck Raphael! Where the hell are you?!"

   "I'm fine thanks for asking Nico. I'm with Luke. I'm sorry I have to go."

   "Raphael Everest tell me where you are right now."

   "I don't know where I am Nico. I'm just with Luke. That's all your getting. Bye send Will and Hazel my love."

     I hung up and slumped against the wall. I was trying not to cry. Luke bent down next to me. "Breathe Love breathe. I know it's hard. Trust me, just breathe." I nodded my head. I leaned up against him. "Am I doing the right thing Luke? Tell me because I have no idea."
     He rubbed my head. "It's up to you Love. I don't care. But I love you no matter what." I nodded my head. "Do you wanna go back?" I honestly didn't know. I couldn't bring myself to leave Luke. He was like my guard dog. Or my therapist either works.
   
       " I-I don't know. Can we just hang out and like watch a movie or something?" He nodded his head. I wiped my eyes and stood up. He peeked back into where Milo was. "We're going to go watch a movie. Your on duty." He led me back to his office/bedroom. I flopped face first into the bed. Luke laughed at me. "Shut it I'm tired and feel like I'm drowning in my own self pity." He crawled up next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Are you okay. Like be totally honest with me Raphael." I shook my head.
     "I feel like I'm drowning. There's so much stuff going on, it's all rushing through my head. Constantly making me stressed or anxious. Or just plain out more depressed than I already am. Then there's the fact that I just hopped and left my somewhat normal life. Not even two months ago. I just.... I can't. It's too much. Then... not that I'm yelling at you or blaming you. But you just strolled into my life again. Making things complicated. Then I'm half asleep last night and you just broke into the cabin and took me here! Then... his name is Max right? He shot me with something that's making me feel like I could explode any minute. Or Nico's so worried and I feel so bad that I can't tell him where I am. I can't Luke. I don't want to be a demigod."
    
     As I finished ranting I couldn't stop crying. Luke held me through it all. "Let it all out. It's okay. Let it all out." I had my eyes closed and I was hanging onto Luke for dear life. I felt worthless and not worthy of anything. Suddenly a horrid beeping sound shook Luke and I. I pressed my hands to my ears. My sensitive/elevated hearing couldn't handle the loud sirens. I started to get dizzy and strained.   
   The sirens died down a bit. Luke looked on high alert. He picked his head up. "Stay here Love." I shook my head. "No i'm coming with you, and this isn't up for debate!" I followed him out. He turned left several times before going down a flight of stairs and to a control type room.
   
    Milo was there along with two others, and Max. Luke walked in and things went silent. I just watched from the shadows and started panicking. Had they found us. What was happening. He looked through a couple security camera type things before turning back to me. The sirens returned and I fell to the ground. Since they were coming from this room they were much stronger and wayyyy louder. Luke ran over and helped me up. I clenched my head and covered my ears. "Turn the damn sirens off!" Luke yelled. Milo did as told.
     I stood back up. My head was pounding and I could barely hear anything over the ringing of my ears. Sort of like that one scene in Baby Driver when John Hamm ruins Baby's hearing for good. Like that. Luke shook my shoulders and tried to get my attention but I couldn't hear him more than a whisper. He grabbed my face gently. He was still trying to get my attention. "Can you hear me Raphael?" I pointed to my ears and shook my head.
     
      He nodded his head. He motioned for me to follow him. I did so and he led me to the room. It took about five minutes to get back. We walked back in the room and I got an odd feeling in my gut. My hearing was now semi back. I could make out the footsteps and such. Along with certain words. "Love." I turned to him. He kissed my forehead.
     Something started to poke at my mind. "Found your hideout. This is your last chance to come back peacefully Raphael. You have five minutes."  Nico was using his mental connection with mine. "Luke they found us. I have to decide what side I'm on." I said turning to him. He was rummaging through his desk. "Fuck.... I want you to go with them. No arguing either. We plan on attacking soon anyways. So... I'll see you soon Love. Also none of this leaves." A tear fell down my face and I nodded. He came over and slipped something in my pocket.
     
    I kissed him. "I love you." He kissed me again. "I love you too Raphael. Now go. You have thirty seconds left."
