Power and Control. [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 5 - Coming to Terms.

I felt as though I was spinning out of control with the wind coming from all directions and it turns out I was! I must have let go of Creed before we landed on the ground. I could see a figure from below shooting up at me post haste and it was Unknown. “DON’T WORRY I HAVE YOU!”

As Unknown caught me I couldn’t help but look at his gorgeous facial features (ones I could see that is!) He wouldn’t know I’m looking at him though because he looked way too focused on flying us to safety.

“I have never been saved by a hero before in all my life and didn’t believe it before the past couple of days and all of a sudden you have saved me what seems like 800 times. I can’t thank you enough”

I graciously told Unknown.

“Of course it is my pleasure but just so you know. You have probably been saved more than 800 time in all of your life. Uh all of you humans have.” Unknown told me.
“Really?” I asked getting a nod off Unknown as a response.
Shortly after, we had landed on solid ground. I looked around and couldn’t make out anything I recognised.
“Where are we?” I asked looking around confused. “I mean I sort of recognise it but then I don’t at the same time”
“We’re on the roof of your house, Daniel.” Unknown said taking a hold of my arm and jumping off. His ability to fly made our landing smooth and safe.
“Wow thank you so much, Unknown”
“My duties are my duties you have no need to thank me.” Unknown said with a big grin forming across his face.
“Um, not to sound rude. But, don’t you have a really important “mission” to do?” I mocked.
“OH SHIT YEAH. I forgot, sorry um. We’ll, we’ll find you.” Unknown said walking into a run then jumping and flying off.

“I need like 10 bottles of wine.” I spoke to myself turning my key in the door.
“DANIEL!!” Olivia screamed throwing her arms over me. “WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN I WAS HAVING HEART PALPATATIONS, YOU GOING MISSING AND THEN SEEING ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A BUILDING IN TOWN THAT WAS HELD HOSTAGE” She said sobbing into my neck.
“Re-Relax babe I wasn’t even gone all too long” I answered her back.
“YOU WERE’NT GONE LONG? 5 MINUTES WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG ENOUGH WHEN ITS YOU. YOU’RE MY BABY BOY AND I WAS SCARED.” Olivia blubbered through tears.
“Aww, well I’m back now lovely so it’s okay.” I patted her on the back, closed the door behind me and brought her over to the stairs to sit down and give her a quick cuddle.
As she calmed down she sat up and wiped her tears away from her eyes.
“So, tell me, where were you?”
Shit, normally I’m better at things like this. I didn’t have a good excuse made up in my head fuck ehm...
“Ehm, A.D.A wanted to take me out to this place in the middle of nowhere to show me that they weren’t just a sham like I thought, and now I understand that they’re not.” Mid-sentence and Liv’s jaw dropped.
“Are you kidding me? Why wasn’t I invited? Oh my god that’s bullshit Ugh, Well you got their number at least? You can call them and be like Hey its Daniel you know, the one from today I’m just calling to ask WHY THE FUCK YOU DIDN’T LET MY BEST FRIEND, SHALL I SAY SISTER, EVEN, COME WITH US TODAY FUUUUCKKK!” Olivia screamed, actually scaring me.
“Um, no I don’t have their number and if I did I would 100% keep it from a psycho like you oh my god.” I said, shocked.

Olivia got up, swung her hair around and said “UGH WHAT EVER” and stomped her way into the kitchen.
I laughed and made my way up to my room and slammed myself onto my bed and let out a mighty sigh!

I lay on my bed for about 2 hours. Maybe even longer. Just thinking, reflecting back onto everything that has happened in the past what, 2 days? Its complete and utter madness?
I definitely have no Idea how to take in the whole “our people have always been extra careful and have always given YOU extra protection” thing in. Why am I getting the ‘star treatment?
Where are they now? When are they going to pick me up again? How long do I have to wait to find out this nail biting piece of info that has been kept from me for a good 20 years?
Keeping up with the Caféterians- is my life, the drama! If only Caféterian was a word…
I need to get off my bed. I go into deep contemplation when I’m left to think. Me thinking is actually quite dangerous come to think of it.

“DANDUMS! I made dinner come down!!” Olivia called up to me. Dinner? I sprinted down the stairs and plonked myself down on a dining room chair as Olivia brought in two big plates of Lasagne.
“Oh my god this looks fab” I complemented her.
“Why thank you ma’am” She replied.

We ate and we talked. Not about much special. She just repeated in detail how worried she was when I went ‘missing’ and just some bits of goss she saw on Facebook.
“Liv? Can I ask you something?”
“Fire away, Fire away!” She insisted.
I smirked at her choice of words and couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
“RICOCHET YOU TAKE YOUR AIM, FIRE AWAY, FIRE AWAY” I (screamed) Sang.
“YOU SHOOT ME DOWN BUT I WON’T FALL I AM TITANIUMMMM” Olivia sang with me.
“Aaaand, Scene.” I said, and we both laughed and clapped.
“ But seriously can I ask you something babe?” I asked again.
“Fire aw- Yes. You can” Olivia chuckled, stopping herself in her tracks.
“Well, okay. Have you ever got this feeling, like, inside you when you’re with someone? And even if you’re just in the same room as them, even if you don’t talk much, you still get this feeling, even though you know there’s like 0% chance of you being with that person.” I said in almost one breath. Feeling the blood rush back into my face.
“Oh eh, no” Olivia laughed “But that is some deep shit you’re in babe.” Olivia said giggling into a big glass of red wine.
“Aw come on.” I said making a puppy dog face. “Help me” I pleaded
“Hmm, well first maybe tell me who you’re talking about Danny boy”
“No”
“Oh my god, its Unknown isn’t it?! Oh my GOD!” Olivia howled covering her mouth in shock. “You’re actually falling for him after like 6 minutes of knowing him?!” She sneered.
“UGH NO! You don’t understand. It’s not that I’m in love with him. It’s just a feeling I’m getting inside myself it could be nothing I don’t know.” I said embarrassed hanging my head.
“Aw sweetie.” Olivia came closer rubbing my head “I’m only teasing. But please make sure you’re not going to get your heart broken or anything or get yourself down if he’s not gay… or… human?” Olivia said putting a funny side to it.
I chuckled. “I’m not going to act on anything I’m just saying it’s a feeling I’m getting.”
“Okay babe! Just don’t get hurt okay!” Olivia said standing up and putting her plate and mine in the dishwasher.
“I’ll try not to, thanks” I said genuinely.
Olivia kissed me on the forehead and left the room.

I sat down sipping my glass of wine thinking about today some more. Seems to be a hobby I’m very fond of nowadays.
“I’m heading to bed babe I’m super tired wake me up when you’re up ok!” Olivia said slumped over blowing me a kiss and walking up to bed.
Great Liv, go to bed and leave me here on my own with a half full bottle of wine.
I decided out of sheer boredom to turn on the TV to see if there was anything good on. And it was then that it clicked in my brain to check the News to see if there was anything about Achaici de Animus on there.
I flipped through channel after channel, god, I don’t know why I pay for this shit. Nothing good on at all. Oh here we go. News.
“-Managed to save all the hostages and return them safely to their homes. Here is what Destiny, the leader of the league had to say. “My fellow Americans (Oh so you’re American are you? SCANDAL) we have managed to put a stop to this upsetting and idiotic attack. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the 12 NYPD officers who were murdered during this, we plan to put a stop to all these attacks and to keep everyone safe. The fact that this was the 2nd attack today AND on the same street as the first one this morning leaves us suspicious and we will find what is causing these attacks and we will nip it in the bud before any more lives are lost and any more mistakes are made. God bless.”
Wow. I’ve never felt so at fault about anything before in my life until now. There wouldn’t be anyone dead if the heroes were out where they could see or hear or know that something was wrong.
I shouldn’t let them get involved with me so much. This could happen again.

I hear from upstairs, causing me to get down on the ground with sheer fright. What the fuck was that. I start to hear footsteps coming from outside. My hands start shaking as I try to reach in to my pockets to get my phone out to call 911 gradually and slowly taking steps backwards away from the back door where the footsteps are getting closer. My nerves made it impossible for me to properly pick up my phone. My heart was in my mouth when the handle of the back door turned and I had no protection whatsoever.
L’ANGE? CREED? UNKNOWN? OLIVIA? DESTINY? KATE? MICHELLE? ANYONE I KNOW? HELP!!!!!
