I've Got You (Project 863)

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Hey, hey you're alright, I'm here to help can you tell me your name" with the kindest voice I could muster I tried to talk to the tiny human. They etched away from me and I sighed.

"My name's Matt, don't worry I've been in a little predicament similar to you but I'm here to help you" They stopped moving away but instead stared at me, tears welling in their bright blue eyes.

"y/n, my name is y/n"

"HI y/n, can you tell me how old you are sweetie" I smiled at the kid trying to gain some trust

"I... I'm not sure about 8. I think" the fact they didn't know their age brought anger to my thoughts. The poor kid has been through so much.

"ok y/n, can you tell me how or why you're here? '' I saw fear flow into their eyes.

"A man brought me here from S..Syntec, they told me to wait until I was to be collected. They kept putting this red stuff in my arm" tears started to fall from y/n's eyes as her story nearly brought me to tears. Composing myself I spring into action.

"Don't worry y/n I'm going to take you away from Syntec far away where you will be safe, do you trust me?" I asked, hope lacing my voice. She nodded at me and I sighed in relief. I held out my hand to take them. Hesitantly she took my hand and I held her tiny one in mine. Slowly I pulled them up off the floor.

Once her feet landed on the floor, she almost collapsed before I grabbed her. She cried out in pain as her body was too weak to do anything. Poor thing.

"It's alright y/n I've got you, I'm just going to carry you to the car" she nodded against my chest and wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. Quickly I walked out of the maze praying that no one would appear. When we passed the vault door, I heard y/n whimper and bury her head into my neck.

"Hey you alright," I asked wanting to know a bit of history about the 8-year-old kid. They shook their head and I furrowed my brow in confusion.

"That's the room people never come out of, a few weeks ago I heard yelling and shouting from that room" I was shocked at the fact that they were here when we were, my heart  chest.

"Don't worry no one will ever hurt you again, I promise"

After finally reaching the Tesla I placed her into my passenger seat before running to the driver's side of the car. I gave her my hoodie since she only had an oversized shirt on and shorts. The hoodie was massive on her skinny frame but she snuggled in and quickly fell asleep as I drove out of the abandoned car park.

I sighed and called Sam. "Hey Matt find anything, did you have one of your panic attacks or something" I laughed slightly at the detective skills of my team. With a hoarse voice, I replied

"Yeah, I might have had one but I found something far more important. I found an kid 8 year old. They were left there. Poor thing"

"Jesus these people are sick, I'm assuming you're taking the rest of the day off"

"Yeah they have major trust issues and I don't want to overwhelm them"

"Alright, I'll let you leave, see you tomorrow Matt" I hung up and glanced over at the sleeping child next to me. I smiled slightly knowing that maybe one good thing came out of location 3.

Pulling up to my house, I opened y/ns door and held them bridal style before entering the house. They snuggled deeper into me. I walked into my room and placed her under the covers leaving her to rest.

10 minutes later, I heard the soft pitter-patter of tiny feet. I looked up from my place on the sofa to see y/n in tears standing there confused and frightened.

"Matt, I'm scared, '' they said, their tiny voices barely above a whisper. I smiled sadly and patted the space next to me.

"Come here" they waved to me and sat down, immensely relaxing into the soft sofa and leaning into me.

"What if they come after me" they whispered, clutching the hoodie they were still wearing in their tiny hands. I grabbed the frightened kids' hands and squeezed them slightly.

"I won't let them, once you're with me you're never leaving my side" the kid nodded and slowly fell asleep with her head resting on my shoulder. I called Woods.

"Hey Matts what up, Sam said you found a kid"

"Yeah, I did. Can you and Sam come over here and bring some clothes with you, they're like 8-9 years old. Sam will know what kids need"

Yeah of course we'll see you in 10"

"Thanks, Man I owe you one" with a slight laugh I hang up and look down at the tiny body curled up into my side, I smiled at the thought of being a dad.

After 15 minutes, Sam and Woods walked into my house after shopping and strolled over to me.

"Hey Matt is this y/n Oh god she really is just a kid, it's so horrific to know kids this young are sucked into this dangerous game" Sam said, sadness glazing her eyes.

"I know but there is nothing we can do except look after her I can't give her up to the system they have no clue the things she's seen" they both nodded with understanding.

"Are you ready to become a dad? '' Woods asked, his eyebrow raised. I chuckled at the question nodding my head.

"I've always wanted to be one, never thought I would because of this mess but I think I can do it" I sighed Sam smiled and grabs my shoulder,

"You'll do great Matt," they said and left leaving me alone to figure things out. By the time it was time for me to go to bed, I was as always dead tired. I never will admit it to the team but after the trap, I'm always so tired and never 100% but I have to be strong for them.

At 10:45 pm I carried y/n to her room and then walked to my own room, got ready for bed, rested my aching body on the bed, and finally fell asleep.

At 1am a faint 'Matt' could be heard from my bedroom doorway. I looked up, still half asleep. I saw y/n standing there looking guilty.

"I had a nightmare and I don't want to be alone" sighing with a smile on my face

"C'mere" She walked over to my bed and climbed up, I was laying on my back and y/n snuggled into my side laying her head on my shoulder, i rested my arm around her small body pulling her closer. I kissed her on the head. a loving smile creeping onto their face.

"Goodnight y/n"

"Goodnight Matt"

*2 weeks later*

"Y/n cmon we're gonna be late" I shouted up the stairs, Y/n appeared at the top of them and ran down meeting me in the hallway. Y/n came to work with me cause she had missed way too much school, I tutor them since they don't trust anyone else.

Today would be a busy day, I had a plan to meet with Ben tonight. The drive was silent and when we got to the office y/n ran inside presumably to find Woods. They have become best friends, who knew Woody boy was so good with kids.

"Morning Matt" Sam calls to me from the reception desk

"Morning Sam, busy day ahead of us" I sighed. I hate putting the team in danger but I have no choice. This needs to be sorted.

"Have you told them"

"No not yet but I'm sure it will be fine, just gotta trust the process" I smiled when I saw Woods run into the back of the blue base with y/n on his back. The scene made my life and for a moment life was perfect.

Y/ was a dream come true, my nightmares and panic attacks have decreased since she arrived and they are such a good kid. I can't wait to see them grow without being in the middle of this toxic world.
