Compromised

I've Always Wanted To Come To Paris

You swerved the car to the side of the road. You had received word from C that a portal had been opened, meaning the Hive was coming. Again. The three of you exited the vehicle, gazing up at the Eiffel Tower.

"Ya know, I've always wanted to come to Paris," you smiled as soft thunder rolled overhead.

"Well, once this is over, you're free to explore," H said. You looked at H, who sent you a wink, and began towards the tower. Once in the elevator, H checked over his weapons, while you looked out of the windows. With the given circumstances, the city was quite beautiful.

"H?"

"Yeah?"

"Mind telling me one more time? How'd you defeat the Hive?" M asked.

"Uh," H began. "It was three years ago. High T and I went to face the Hive with nothing but our wits and our Series-7 De-Atomizers. Cool?"

"Yes, but how'd you do it?" You questioned, quickly catching on to what M was putting down.

"Wait. What are you doing?"

"We're curious. How'd you do it."

"I told you."

"You really didn't," you told him.

"I did a few times. Okay, uh, High T and I went up to face the Hive with nothing but our wits and out Series-7 De-Atomizers..." H stopped his sentence, as you looked down for a second before looking back up at him. "Am I...? I'm repeating myself, aren't I? Why, why would I be doing that?"

"H... I don't think you defeat the Hive that night," M stated.

"I think you were neuralyzed," you said softly. The elevator stopped, and a bell dinged. The three of you left the elevator, holding your guns up  to shoot at any possible threat. The lights were dim, and the room was silent. It was too silent...

"Ah. You came to say goodbye," T said. You spun around, pointing your gun at him, a glare on your face. "And you brought the lovely M. And 13. Aww. H, you and 13 are inseparable. Don't think I haven't noticed the little thing going on between you two... You can really feel the history here. Eiffel discovering wormholes, gangways to other civilizations, the First Alien Migration." H and M began to stalk towards the stairs that reached the catwalk, while you stayed out on the ground, staring up at T. "And we made history here too, didn't we, H? With just our wits and our Series-7 De-Atomizers."

"No. We didn't. The Hive wanted the most powerful weapon in the galaxy, so you had Vungus bring it to Men in Black. You'd wait. When it came, you'd give it to them."

"My dear boy," T chuckled, turning to H. "You were always a bright one... But there's no stopping this." T fiddled with the controls. "With the weapon out of the way, every planet will fall, starting with this one." You spun around, seeing a blue vortex through the door.

"Step away from the controls," H demanded. "You neuralyzed me. Made me a hero, the guy that saved the world. Left alive to sell the lie." You stalked closer to the vortex, prepared to hurt anything that came through.

"They wanted this," T whispered. "You were there. You were always like a son to me." At this, you spun around, hurrying up the stairs to H's side.

"H?"

"You were always like a son to me," High T repeated.

"That's not High T anymore," M stated.

"You were always like a son..." T paused, then his voice went deep and menacing. "To him." T grabbed H's hands, and tentacle things began to grow out of T's sleeves. His face began to morph, soon looking like one of the Hive. Ugly. You pushed H away, just as T was going to hit him, and instead got the full force of the hit, getting thrown into the wall. H hurried over to you, helping you up, being careful of the glass. You had hit your leg wrong, and you were positive there would be a major bruise the next day.

M shot at the being, but it served no effect, as one of the tentacles flung M over the railing. The being roared towards the portal, begining to climb towards it.

"Go, H!" You exclaimed. H nodded and flung himself into the monster's back, sending it crashing to the ground. The weapon got tossed across the floor, and to the best of your ability, you limped down the steps towards the weapon, earning the attention of the monster. It started towards you, but H fought it off with some spare parts he found on the ground.

The monster pushed H to the ground, and M took over, stabbing the creature with a pole. The creature soon knocked M and H down again, turning to you, just as you grabbed the weapon and held it close to your chest. With a glare, the being grabbed you with one of it's tentacles, starting towards the portal. You struggled within it's grasp, trying to free yourself from it's appendage.

"Hey! I know you're still in there somewhere!" H called. The monster turned to him and grabbed his neck.

"H!!" You screamed. The creature growled.

"It's me, H. Remember, you wanted me to take your place." You kicked the being in the side, and it tossed you into the vortex.

"13!!!" H yelled. Time seemed to move in slow motion as you floated through the tunnel of blue. Voices echoed through your head as you began to lose hope. Voices of M, and H... And your brother.

"Don't waste your life... Don't spend it alone... I love you, Y/n," your brother's voice said in your head. You felt a stray tear escape your eye as you recalled your brother's last words.

"The universe has a way of leading you to where you're supposed to be..."

"At the moment you're supposed to be there..."

You floated closer to the other end, seeing another one of the monsters close in. Dread filled your chest at the thought that this could be it. You'd never see H or M again. But at least you'd be with your brother...

"Y/n!!!" Pawny's voice echoed. You grabbed onto a rope he shot as he looked at you. "I can't lose another friend." And with that, Pawny pulled you back to the tower. You landed with a clatter on the ground and caught the weapon that H tossed you. The creature began to grow, with larger tentacles beginning to fill the room.

"Right time!" You exclaimed, activating the weapon. Putting it on full power, you breathed. "Right place." A powerful blast hit the creature, sending a shock all the way through the tunnel, causing the Hive to explode, closing the portal. With a heavy sigh, you fell over your knees,breathing heavily, the weapon become a star shape once again.

"Hey, Pawny?" You panted.

"Yes?"

"Thank you. You saved my life."

"It wasn't honor." H and M walked to the edge and looked out over the city, and you were soon to join them, limping slightly still. You watched M place a comforting hand on H's shoulder, causing him to look to her. They both nodded to each other, and then M pulled away. You stood in between them, roping arms around their shoulders. M smiled softly as she watched you lean your head on H's shoulder and sigh.

"Paris really is beautiful, isn't it?" H asked.

"It sure is," you replied.
