Chapter 19 - 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."

Heath looks into my eyes, "He wants you broken so that you're easier to catch." I feel the exhaustion overwhelm me has the past three days finally settle on me. I cry as Heath soothes me, "Cupcake, you need to calm down, I'm sure after we sleep, you'll have a plan." I nod and try to climb off him and over to my side of the bed. "We could also, you know kiss and release some stress." I put my finger on his lips, "Only kissing right? We can't wake up Dr. Kellie." He nods eagerly as his tongue slides into my mouth.

I kiss him back and wrap my arms around his neck when a clicking noise went off, I broke from our kiss as Heath hungrily kisses my neck, "Did you hear that clicking noise?" Heath shook his head and continued, I stop him in time for, the sound to roll off again.

Click-click! I noticed a flash this time near the closet, I jump off Heath as he stares at the closet as well. I scrape the wall with my fingernail and find it; the camera. It was sending live pictures back to whoever was connected. I crush it in my fist and practically break Tucker's door down. Yukii was looking at her phone as Tucker was doing something dumb in front of her. In Tucker's room, the bathroom faced the bed, so I scraped the door frame with my nails again and there it was the other one. "Lilia, what the heck?" Yukii was fuming as she went to push me out of the room, "Someone's spying on us."

I sped over to the next room Ryan and Vee were laughing over something on their phones probably on social media. Just like in Tucker's room the bathroom faced the bed, "Lilia? What are you doing?" Vee asked as I held a hand up, Yukii comes over, "What in the heck is this? Are there more of these laying around?" I glare at her, "Shut up Yukii, I'm looking for it!" This is the first time the guys have ever seen us fight, but Seth has set me off, I'm not in the mood to be nice.

Darek must have been tired of the shouting we were causing, "Kids go to bed!" I feel the and the camera pretty fast as Yukii grabbed it this time, "I'm going to kill the pervert this time." Vee jumps between us, "Girls let's not fight, but more importantly what's going on?" I grab the last camera, "This is what's going on, we need to leave, and scan the camera since we destroyed the other two." Yukii was fuming, "I get the idiot off the couch." Vee walks over to her bag grabbing clothes and other whatnots, "Ryan, Tucker, and I will pack." Heath touches my shoulder, "I'll continue looking for cameras and will pack our things." I nod and rush over to Dr. Kellie's room.

The poor thing was passed out. "Dr. Kellie I need you to get up!" I said as I scrape the wall next to the closet looking for another camera if there was one. Luckily there wasn't, I watch her continue to sleep, "Dr. Kellie get up!" I shake her, "Huh-what? Oh, Lilia what's wrong?" I shake my head this woman could sleep through a tornado if she didn't already live underground. "We found cameras in the rooms we broke two in pure anger and left the other one, we need to return to the lab." She looked dead tired, "But we shouldn't be flying this late you kids glow when your powers are active, the leave light streaks too since it's the night that's not a good thing." She does have a point; from what I was told they flew here and that can be a problem after this evening's commotion.

Darek walks in, "I'll drive, you kids go get ready and I'll go grab a few things from my apartment that was left." I nod as Dr. Kellie looked back at the pillow calling her name. I walk back over to Heath's room I notice he has everything pack and even has my bag done. "Dr. Kellie mentioned selling the place do these items stay here?" Heath looks around the room, "Well this is really your uncle's apartment, so she can't do much without your grandparents selling it. I mean it is in both of their names, but Dr. Kellie kept it because she wanted him to have a home when he was released from prison." I nod so everything in here is just in case my uncle moves on.

Dr. Kellie walked past our room she put a fluffy mint green robe on, I watch her take a couple of pictures off the wall and then sat her butt on the couch. "I'm going to sell this apartment." She states in her sleep-like state, I nod and pack my phone up since Heath disassembled it, I grab my bag realizing the girls only pack my super light nightgown and short robe to go with it. I threw it on the bed and bug around Heath's bag for sweats to wear until we were back in Riverside, which is about a two-hour drive. I find some and pull them up and luckily this pair had a drawstring so I could make it tighter.

Heath walks back in, "What are you wearing?" I look over at him, "Pants; I'm sure it's cold out tonight since it's Missouri, and it also late September." He looks at me, "Are you sure Yukii doesn't have any? Not that I care that you want to wear my clothes, it's just those are covered in blood from the accident, the hospital washed them but the faded stains still remain." I shrug, "It's my blood, I can handle it." He seems wiry but moves on.

Everyone uses the bathroom once more, and then we all were out the door. The lights in the apartments were quiet and short-lived, as we all rushed down the hall to the elevator. I put the camera in a small sandwich bag and put it in my bag with my phone. Darek had the car on and loaded with his last few things that sat in the back of his van. "Alright everyone; pile in!" he said with too much cheer in his voice. Heath and I took the back row with Yukii and Tucker. Ryan and Vee sat in front of us with Dr. Kellie next to Darek. The drive begins and sleep overcomes me.

**

When I wake up, we're in room 40, the room smells like Heath and I. Turning I find Heath next to me, sleeping away. I caress his face, and snuggle closer, he's so warm. It's nice when the lab stays 68oF. I reach over for his phone to check the time, "Don't you dare touch that phone." His husky breath breaths on my neck, I jump back and fall back on my pillow. "Heath, you scared me." He wiggles closer and kisses my forehead, "I disabled the alarms, Dr. Kellie told me to tell you to sleep in as long as we wanted today since we've been through so much and because when you wake up you have to see your grandparents who are in the purple hall, you know the rooms with a bathroom and kitchen." I glare at him, "Fine let's sleep, but I need to go to the bathroom."

Heath groans loud, "Alright, but waking me up has a penalty you'll have to accept when you return." I smirk, "Oh no, you're going to punish me? What are you going to do? I asked as I put my robe on. Heath sits up in the bed, "I don't know but the punisher thinks you need a few hard swats and some kisses." I roll my eyes and lean on him, "Hmm, I should run away then, so instead of returning for a punishment." He gives me a dominating smile, "Admitting you're running away means you'll have to please me longer than before." I giggle as he beings to kiss me on the neck, "Heath let me pee first!" I gasp as he snuggles in, "Alright but hurries up you woke me up now you get to be pleased."

I laugh as I walk out into the hall and notice the lights were still dim, but that was only in the blue hall the closer I made it to the command center; the lights were on, meaning it was likely time for us to wake up anyways. I see the bathroom as all the doctors were talking to Darek and my grandparents I sneak past them with my speed. I sigh once I was in the bathroom, I looked at myself, I looked dead many things have happened in the past three days that it's finally starting to show.

I venture back out and find that the lights are out, maybe it still was late. I walk back to the blue hall I took my time to return to room 40. The light was on and Heath was waiting for me. "Hey there." I said and hug him from behind, "I'm cleaning up the mess that was made when the condom broke." I look over and behold the man was out and there was an oddly broken condom. "What did you do?" it looked like a popped balloon. He shrugs, "I put it on and this happened." I help him clean it up, our door is knocked on.

I walk over and find Dr. Kellie, "Yes?" I ask her as Heath shoves himself back in pants. ��They brought Seth, I thought you guys would like to see him." I feel the boiling anger arises again, "No, but I will go check up on Sei and Pyatʹ." Dr. Kellie nods, "Each one of you girls said that when I arrived at their doors." Heath grumbles as we both walk down the halls and pass the green and arrive at the red hall, we turn to see Tucker and Ryan walking down the orange hall. I followed them even though I wanted to see both Sei and Pyatʹ I also wanted to know what they were going to do to Seth, oddly the rooms down the orange hall were all prison cells.

Heath was walking with Tucker and Ryan as Violet and Yukii finally noticed me following them. "Hmm, even though we're mad at him." Violet said as Yukii follows, "We can't stand to see him get hurt." I sigh, "Even by those three." I said pointing to our boyfriends. We stop at room 27 there was a little window and in the room was the bare minimum like in a real prion one toilet, one sink, a simple bed it was nicer though, and one cell locked with a cast iron door. It made me sick, looking in at him, he looked afraid, but he also looked disappointed. I'm not really ready to walk in there yet. I don't think anyone is, I'm sure even the guys would rather be doing something else; I know Heath did.

I touch the door and the door beeped at me; it must have a scanner on it. I open the door and look in at Seth, he jumped when the door opened and faded from sight but we all covered the door so it wasn't like he could run. "Seth?" He noticed me, Yukii, and Vee. "Oh my gosh, girls I'm so sorry!" he had ugly tears falling from his face, I almost couldn't look at him he was still my first crush he still has that cute boy-next-door smile.

I hold up my hand as he continues to sputter out non-sense. "Save it, we'll treat you nicely, and then we'll ask you questions and when you're finished, we'll send you back home where you belong." He was quiet but nodded, "When?" I shrug, "Who knows I want to sleep more and I know Heath and everyone else does too." Seth looked worried, "We won't forget you?" Heath said as I nod agreeing with him, "Yeah just wait for us, we'll be back in a couple of hours." I shut the door as it clicks and the hall shutters knowing this could easily be us if we were deemed unsafe for even the super-world. I sigh and walk with my friends and look down at the red hall.

I slowly walk as Yukii heads for the blue hall, Vee stood there watching me and Yukii go different ways, "Girls let's go back together." Vee said as I shook my head, "Not this time, I want to talk to the ones that attacked me and Heath can you understand?" I asked looking at them Yukii smiled, "Yeah go for it, I'm noting going to stop you from giving those two a good old spanking if you need to." Vee gasped, "Yukii! Don't say that, Lilia will only talk to them, right?"

I smile, "Yep just a talk today since I punished them already." The group laughs, for some reason, it's like the guys aren't even here. Almost like they are watching us through a window. I take Heath's hand, "Do you want to return to the room and get ready?" his eyes flickered red. "Hmm, I think I know what I can do, no fear though I'll get you nice and thick before bringing you over my knee." I laugh as Tucker whistled, "You two like to get freaky too? I'm sure Ryan only likes the missionary pose anyways." Yukii whacks his arm, "Not like you're any different." He laughs as Yukii and Tucker take off, as Ryan and Vee leisurely walk away. Heath leaves a wet kiss on my neck, "Hurry up or I'll come looking for you hungry and rabid." Those words made me wet on the spot.
