Heroes without Masks

Chapter 18

I walk out of the shower and get dressed. Walking out of the bathroom; Heath was lying in bed looking over his phone. I crawl in bed as he turns to me and gives me a kiss. The sheets were cool and oddly pleasant against my hot skin. Heath continues to kiss me as flowers begin to form around my head, I looked at my head shocked as Heath begins to heat up. "Calm down, you heard Dr. Kellie no bumping uglies tonight." Heath groaned, "Can't we do it one more time before we return home?" I shake my head, "Nope, besides, we're probably on lockdown until we've cleared out everything on Seth." I said as he nods, "Right we'll be stuck in the compound until we've broken him to give us all the information, we need to pursue the 2nd creation." I nod as my phone lights up, it was a message from an unknown number. 'Lilia, you are being such a naughty girl, taking your siblings away, and fighting with them no less, I hope you are ready for your punishment when you are back home.'

My eyes widen as Heath takes a peek too, "What the heck is that!" he takes my phone and blocks the number, he removes my phone's battery and places it on his bedside table. "We'll show everyone the text when we return to Riverside so that Dr. Kellie can do her tech magic on it." I nod as we cuddle in and read trash on his phone. I roll over now thinking about sleep when the apartment next to us loudly started yelling.

I roll my eyes when I hear something shocking, "What do you mean you he was caught?" I sit there for a moment, "Yes, I'm sorry miss, but they saw him at the school, I understand he was your favorite inventor to buy blueprints from, but Seth Evergreen is in their custody." I take Heath's phone from him and start recording the voices, "We could break him out, I'm sure that their lab is somewhere in Riverside, it's most likely in Father's old lab, right? In the Riverside manor." The man spoke again, "No, the Riverside family is against supers due to Dr. Riverside."

Heath put his ear up to the wall, as the two continue to speak, the girl though sounded like she was on a computer call or video. The man was defiantly in the room, the man cleared his throat, "How are you so sure that these aren't imposters that Dr. Kellie had sent to confuse us?" the woman laughed, "I chipped the boys, these aren't just look-alikes these are the real deals. My flea bots did more than inject them with father's hormone enhancer, I placed a chip in it so I could keep an eye on them when they leave town. Sadly, I'm not skilled enough to hack myself into their system, but I was good enough to keep myself in Lilia's classes since my father likes her the most."

The man walked a bit before stopping near the wall, "Well she is his niece he most likely lovers her differently than you." The girl, not a woman anymore screamed, "No! I'm father's favorite, I was the good one, the one to survive the testing out of the other two. I will do anything for my father!" the man sounded scared, "Ma'am what about your mother, she's working hard every day to keep the food on your table and you are never home to see her, because of your 'beloved' father." The girl giggled, "Oh her, she's hasn't even realized I've stopped answering her text." A muffled voice came in the video call that was going on, "Oh, it's time for my hormone injection, I will call you next week find more of his free blueprints I'm sure there is one we haven't tested yet."

The call ended as I shake, "No, this can't be, they've called the 2nd creation brother!" I paced the room, as Heath groans, "Great, just what we needed! Another freaking plot-twist!" he landed on the bed as I continue to pace, the room felt small as I continue to walk back and forth. "Cupcake come lay down." Heath looks at me as I continue to pace, "I know that voice where have I heard that voice before?" Heath watches me more, "Sweetness, come to bed." I continue to pace, "Heath you heard her voice right who does it sound like to you?"

Heath looks at me, as I finally stop my pacing to look at him, "Cupcake, you need to sleep, and so do I. Can we talk about it in the morning?" I walked over to him, "But Heath we need to scan that voice now. We need to get back to the compound." Heath pulls me into his lap, "Lilia do you hear yourself? You're working yourself crazy. You want him back in prison because you don't want others getting hurt, but cupcake you just don't see it do you?" I shift on his lap trying to get up, "He wants you to go crazy, knowing that you are the brains of the group who puts all of our plans together."
