Random One Shots (Multi Fandom)

Double X pt2 (Project 863)

(y/n's pov:)

Nothing was right, nothing was ok. I couldn't find anything stable. The minute I tried to stand, I fell. Balance eluded me. The rope constricted my movement, constricted my airway. The flashes were back, stronger than ever. Pictures of Ben strapping me to that floor and then... Matt freed me from those bonds. I want my Dad.

"Take them off" I whispered, my sobs becoming silent as Wood looked over at me. Concern was the only thing on his face.

"Y/n, are you Ok"

"Take them off, please... I... I can't breathe with them on '' Wood's mind immediately clicked and he took the rope off my hands and legs. Immediately clung to him, begging to feel any kind of comfort in this infinite pit of red that I had entered.

"It's ok, deep breaths y/n. I know, I know. You know they're not real. You're here in spellbound. It's going to be ok" But how could I believe him, the one person in my life I can't live without, falling further and further away from me. I felt nothing but despair inside me. Feeling so much guilt for fearing the one I love most.

I'm lost.

"What are we going to do... we can't just sit here... do we try and get a hold of someone?" Sam said. All eyes drawing to her.

"I mean how, Matt had all our 863 contact's and he's... gone" I buried my head in Wood's neck at the sound of his name. It was the pain of a stab wound. Wood moved to sit on the stairs, me still in his arms.

"How does this even make sense, mind control is actually a thing, this is what Syntec was working for" The team were nothing but confused, it all seems the make belief was now reality.

"That wasn't Matt... so it must be" the tears started flowing again, I could feel the adrenaline running faster through my veins.

"No, not at all. there wasn't even an ounce of Matt left in there" It then hit me, my dad was gone consumed by nothing but evil.

"I mean how long has it not been Matt '' how long have I been living with a monster, influencing my dad to do things I know he would never do. I could feel the guilt increase, how did I not notice anything different about him.

The talks of the spire became background noise, to the screaming of my head. I failed, I kept too quiet, like the little obedient child that I am, wasn't strong enough to save my dad from this suffering. I failed everyone.

"Guys you heard what he said, he said that me and y/n are his next target" I feel woods hold onto me tight and the looks of everyone on me. I felt numb to the bone, hopeless.

"That felt more like a threat... it is true Bailey and y/n have the passive serum in them. Y/n far more than the rest of us... so she could be more vulnerable than anyone else in the valley" Wood covered my ears, it all getting too loud again.

"Sam seriously, you're going to say that right in front of her... we have to protect her at all costs, y/n's 8 years old. We can't let her fall to Nelon. Matt would want us to protect her" Wood's words silenced the room.

As the conversation progressed, I could feel woods becoming tense, his attitude freezing up. This line of talk was exhausting him and after Sams' fast words Wood put me down on the floor, standing up harshly.

"There are no options, Bailey i'm sorry you should be out of here, you should be as far away from here as possible. So should y/n... there's nothing we can do '' My blood ran cold, the thought of being alone, was nothing more than a nightmare. I can't be without them, this is my family.

"Wood's we have to do something" Bailey begged, feeling the hopeless abandonment as well.

"They've left, they've taken everything we can't track them, Bailey you need to leave. Take y/n with you. I... I need space" I couldn't take this anymore, my life was falling apart. My heart was shattering at every point of the thought of Woods' leaving.
