Chapter 24 - this means war

Sorona nodded, writing down the instructions on the map so she could remember better. "Sir, whats our plan for the Agency?" she turned to him.

"You are to make sure Y/n and Midas are split up. Kill the Agents if you must, but keep Y/n and Midas alive. We'll kill the girl in front of him if he doesn't comply," he replied.

The thought of watching her die scared Sorona half to death, but she had no choice.

If I don't obey, I'd be killed. Better her than me.

"Yes, sir."

Chaos Agent turned to leave, when he stopped and turned on his heel, "Sorona, I need one more favor from you. I need you to retrieve any and all audio files of me debriefing Y/n's mission to infiltrate Ghost."

Sorona raised a brow, but didnt question it. "Yes, sir. I'll do that right now."

"Good," Chaos Agent smirked from under his mask. He walked out, knowing his plan was perfect... Midas wouldn't have a single clue what was coming for him.

The couple had eventually passed out again, and when they woke up fully, it was around 11:30 am. Somehow, Midas was even more tired than earlier, and his accent was very thick and his voice extremely deep.

He opened an eye slowly and read the clock, and frowned. He stirred, moving slowly to kiss Y/n's neck slowly, "Princess, it's so late... we have to get up."

Y/n moaned softly from the feeling of his lips on her sweet spot, "Can't we stay in bed all day, baby?" her voice, too, was laced with sleep.

"I'm sorry, we have to get up..." Midas frowned, trailing his kisses from her sweet spot down to her collar bone, nipping at it slightly.

"You're making me never want to leave," Y/n squirmed softly, letting out little moans in response.

Midas smirked against her skin, "You're waking up more, which means my plan is working. Come on, angel." he pulled on her side and made her lay flat on her back as he leaned over to kiss her deeply.

Once she started to kiss back, to tease her he pulled away and got up out of bed quickly to get dressed. Y/n groaned and sat up slowly, running her fingers through her hair.

She turned and saw him getting dressed and smirked, "Nice ass, baby."

Midas turned and rolled his eyes, grabbing one of his shirts and balling it up, throwing them at her. She squealed when it hit her face and she laughed, "Thanks for the shirt!"

"Youre gonna wear just that?" he chuckled, zipping up his pants. "As much as I'd love to see you wear just my shirt still, if an emergency happens I think you'd want something more... battle ready."

"You're right," Y/n pouted. "I'll sneak it into my room and keep it for bed, then." she stood up and slid the shirt over her naked body, then walked over to him. She rest her hand on his back and got on her tippy toes, kissing him deeply though he was in the middle of putting his shirt on.

He chuckled and kissed her back, "Where are you sauntering off to?"

"Showering," she winked. "I'll meet you downstairs for lunch, handsome," she replied, walking into the bathroom.

Midas couldn't help but continue to smile like and absolute idiot. It seemed as if every moment Midas spent with Y/n he ended up falling deeper and deeper in love with her, and he loved it.

"God, I love her so much... the Hell happened to me." he muttered to himself, fixing his clothes as he tucked in his white shirt into his blank pants, sliding his black suspenders over his shoulders. Every once in a while he felt comfortable dressing down around the Agency, and today was one of those moments.

Midas soon left his room, and he walked down the stairs on his way to the kitchen. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and started humming to himself as he walked past Maya, who looked distraught.

"Maya? Are you alright?" he frowned, stopping his journey to the kitchen. "No," she spoke softly, tears filling her eyes, "I-It's Tina... she's.. she's in d-danger," Maya replied, her voice quivering. "R-Rook told me t-that Shadow attacked the Rig. It's completely in ruins and she's missing!" she managed to let it all out before breaking out into broken sobs.

Midas' face fell and he pulled Maya to his chest, hugging her tightly and sighing. Maya gasped softly but happily returned the hug, definitely being taken by surprise by her Boss' sudden burst of compassion.

"She'll be okay, I promise, Maya."

"I can't lose her, I-I'm in love with her," Maya sobbed harder, shaking softly in his arms, "I can't lose my babygirl, I c-can't..."

"I know, I know," Midas sighed, rubbing her back gently in hopes to soothe her mind. "She's okay. She's a fighter, she won't go down without a fight. I'll assemble a team, and we'll make sure to-"

"Sir, I'm sorry to report, but the Shark and Grotto are under fire as well... Shadow is launching a full blown attack on all of our territories," Rook walks up to them, fighting back tears of fear.

Maya let out another whimper and forced herself to put on a brave face, nodding, "A-Alright.,. great. So that's my girlfriend missing, and now my best friend is in danger," Maya sighed heavily, taking off her black cap to run her fingers through her long brown hair. "Why them... why not me?"

"Maya, you cannot think that way," Midas sighed, turning to her again. "I know you love her, but you cannot start with the 'why not me's?', especially now," Midas said firmly. "I know you're afraid, but that won't bring either of them back faster. We'll get them all back - alive, and unharmed. Rook, alert all Agents and Henchmen. This is war."
