'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡

- return the favor -

The emotions that were all over him turned to only one.

Comfort.

~The Grubs, Warehouse~
The young man brushed off his jeans that were littered in dust. He was in the back room of his gang's hangout and "workplace", the young man finished cleaning his pants before opening his door to an unwelcome guest.

The woman had her arms crossed, her hair behind her ear showed her long burn scar on her face. Felix gave a joking smile. "You're not Mercy."

The woman, Octavia, gave a low grumble and an eye roll. "Why would you invite that bitch?"

Felix gave a smile and welcomed his older sister in the small room. "I like her!"

Octavia came in and sat on the connecting seat where a desk lay in the middle of the room. She didn't say anything else, her head down and face a mash of annoyance and discomfort. Felix rolled onto the spinning chair next to her, pushing himself to the closed off shelf where the reason his older sister visited lay.

Felix pulled out the pouch and set it in front of his sister. Leaning back into the chair with a smug and relaxed expression, Octavia raised an eyebrow. Felix motioned to it with his hand, "that's it."

Octavia made a face. "Have you tested it out? It looks too small to do as much damage as you explained it did."

"Oh yeah we tested it on a rat who kept spreading lies about Pierce. And trust me, it worked a lot better than I imagined." Felix spun in the chair, a smile clear on his face. Octavia asked a question, ignoring the fact her stomach flipped in knots when looking at her little brother's expression. "The reaction is hard to explain. You'll have to see it in action to understand the full effect."

She looked up at him, fear behind her eyes. Felix tilted his head, "I have someone we could use-"

"No," Octavia replied quickly, closing her eyes.

Felix looked back at her, dumbfounded. "Isn't that why you're here?"

"It-" Octavia thought for a second. Knowing Felix would jump and overreact in a way that scared her, she gave a tight smile. "I want Corbin here to see it with me. We can do it maybe tomorrow, but I just wanted to know how much you have."

Felix relaxed a little at the exclamation, pulling the pouch back on the shelf and waving his hand in front of the window to the small room. The door opened and a tall, tattooed man walked in. "Yo Alex, how much is in the back again?"

The man Alex gave a tight face, shaking his head he looked away from the man on the chair. "About 2 pounds or less. The men are making more but it takes months for the drug to fully be effective."

Felix spun back to Octavia. "That answers your question?"

The sister nodded, her hands sweating but her mind a bit clearer. "Yes," she looked up to her brother who shooed the tall man away. "Is mom and Azeral in on this as well?"

"Mom knows really well and is part of the project." Felix said with a yawn.

"Is... Dad?" Octavia cringed lightly saying the word.

Felix burst into a laugh, shaking his hand while holding his stomach, he tried to catch his breath. "D-Dad!? Ha- that old man would spill the beans if we told him!"

Octavia took that as a no. She pulled out the papers that were filed in her purse, handing them to the laughing boy who soon let the noise die. He stopped, a smile on his face as he took them. "Are these?"

"Half." Octavia replied quickly.

Felix's smile dropped. "Half?" He replied rather quickly, his teeth showed as he scanned the top half. "I asked for all his files!"
