TW - SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND PHRASES
Jay growled and they walked back to the van. Jule sighed and rubbed his head. "Why the hell did a person try to keep the kids from us??" He said and Luce shrugged. Mira was deep in thought. "It didn't look like they were malnourished though. The ring looked clean and those kids were healthy. For god sakes they all outran us." Mira looked at Jay.
He shrugged. "I'm going to Milo's." He said and Fin grunted. "He's not a good boyfriend J-" Jay glared at her and she stopped talking. He walked of an checked his phone. Jay walked to Milo's house and opened the door with his key. He hummed to himself calling. "I'm homee." Milo didn't respond and Jay checked the kitchen.
He shrugged and went to the bedroom. He opened the door and Milo was asleep. He closed the door silently and turned around. "Who are you?" A feminine voice said and he looked up in surprise. "I'm his boyfriend." He answered and she narrowed her eyes.
"I'm his wife." She said and Jay blinked in surprise. "Wha- what." The woman's expression softened, seeing that he had no idea about her. He processed the information and was about to go back into the room, yelling. She stopped him and pulled him to the kitchen. "Look. I'm just as mad as you are, I say we get him back." Her face was neutral, but there was fire in her eyes.
She sat him down and they started talking. It seemed that they got married a few years ago and she was on a business trip for a few months. He nodded and Milo came out, to get some food. He stopped and rubbed his eyes. He swore and stared at Mia. "The hell you doing back?" He asked and Jay rolled his eyes. Mia glared at him.
"Welll sweetttyyy. If you want to know. You should should have payed attention and not cheat on me." She smiled evilly and he stalked over. He grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her out of the chair and next to him. He snarled in her ear, "You are just a sex toy. I can cheat on you all I want." Mia's face was pale and Jay stood up.
"Milo, leave her alone." He yelled and Milo tossed her aside. He smirked. "Or what pretty boy." He taunted and Jay lunged across the table. Milo grabbed his arm and flipped him onto the ground. "You know what. Get out of my sight." He snarled to Mia and Jay they got up and Jay pulled her to the HQ.

Nio assessed each of the children. He opened his phone an texted Mike. "Got the kids to safety. Ready for pickup." Miley looked over his shoulder and smiled. "That's my dad's name." Nio nodded and let them get out of the hiding spot. They played on the beach, waiting for Mike to show up.
He waved to Mike. "Thanks so much." He smiled at Nio who smiled back. The kids ran up to him and gave him the money. He waved goodbye to the kids and out his hands in his pockets. He raised his head to the sky and closed his eyes letting the autumn wind blow across his face. He smiled and started walking.
He climbed on a rock and stretched his arms out the farthest they could go. His sweater hung from his arms and the tips of his fingers were out. He closed his eyes and lifted his head. Nio heard the laughter of children and parents yelling at them to quiet down. He sighed jumped down from the rock.
Nio sat on it and watched the waves lapping the surface. He curled his wings around his body, retaining body heat. He stared at the hazy horizon and got up. Nio started walking to his apartment and waved to the receptionist. He got into the elevator and clicked the floor he needed to get to. Nio yawned to himself and pulled up his hair.
He pulled out the money and started counting it. The elevator dinged and he got out. Nio hummed to himself and put the money away. He heard people talking quietly and he took out his keys. His contact lens was in and he jumped when someone tapped his shoulder. "Hey, do you know where James Goodwin lives?" Jay asked and he looked up startled.
"Oh uh that's me." Nio mumbled and opened his door. "What do you need?" He asked and Jay showed him a picture of the fighting arena. Nio widened his eyes. "I heard you ran it." Jay said and Nio stuttered. "Uh I- I don't-" Jay followed him into his home and backed him into a corner. "Cut the bullshit. James." He hissed and Nio blinked. "Fine I own it. I don't keep people captive. It's completely legal." Nio snapped and pushed past Jay.
"Well we have an insider named Mike and it seems like you like to lie." Jay said and Nio stiffened. "Don't know what you are talking about." His arms were white because of how tight he was holding them. "He said that you came to this city about a month ago. Seems like you like hiding." Jay said his eyes narrowed. Mira walked in with Fin. Luce and Jule were waiting on the outside and Nio rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." He took out his contact lens. "I was planning on leaving the city soon." Nio ran pass the two of them and smashed through the big window. He spread his wings and saluted them. "Have fun catching me." He yelled and flew off. Jay stared and opened his wings. Fin snickered. "Like he would let you catch him." Mira shut her up as Jay flew after Nio.
In the months they had been apart, Nio learned how to make a maximum speed with his wings. He yelled in delight as he saw Jay chasing him. Jay gritted his teeth and tried to speed up. Nio smiled and twirled in the air. He dropped downward and Jay stopped. Nio waved from below as he was on the top of a van. He watched as Nio catapulted himself inside the open doors and start chatting to the people inside.
Jay swore and flew back to the apartment. "He's in a van. After him." Jay yelled and they ran downstairs. They jumped in their van and swerved through the streets trying to find it. Jule gasped in the back as the van swerved and almost tipped over.
Jay swore and saw the van Nio got in. He smiled and hit the gas. Nio checked the rear view mirror and smiled. Jay glared at the van and hit it head on. He and everyone else was fine. Mira screamed at Jay for how stupid that was. He just flicked her off and climbed out of the van.
Nio clutched his arm and tried to take off flying. His wing was torn but he flew threw the pain and beat furiously. Jay laughed bitterly as Nio's wings were offbeat and not moving correctly. His hair flowed behind him. Nio landed on a building and Jay landed in front of him. "Go away." He panted and Jay smirked. He grabbed Nio's sweatshirt and picked him up.
"You would go splat if you fell. I'd enjoy seeing that." Nio's eyes were widened and he grasped at the building as he fell. Fin yelled and Jay laughed. Nio closed his eyes. "Maybe this time I will die." He mumbled to himself and opened his arms. There was a sickening crunch as he hit the ground and lay there motionless.
"Let's throw him in the seA." Jay said flying down. Mira pushed him against the wall. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. DON;T YOU HAVE ANY SYMPATHY. WHAT ABOUT MARLO. WHAT ABOUT THE PROMISE." She screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I made another promise." He snarled and pushed her off. "I thought you loved him." She whispered quietly. He whirled around. "HE FUCKING LEFT A NOTE SAYING GOODBYE. YEAH I SAID I WOULD ALWAYS WAIT FOR HIM. HE TRULY IS AN ASSHOLE. HE- HE LED ME ON AND FUCKING DISAPPEARED FOR ME TO ONLY FIND HIM IN THE SAME SITUATIONS." Jay screamed.
Mira shrank back and kept her mouth shut. A man climbed out of the van and two others followed him. They stood huddled in a group as Luce herded them to the HQ. Mira watched as Jay picked up Nio's body and dragged it with him to the sea.
He flew above the ocean until he got to the middle of it. He dropped him into it and Nio blinked wearily. Jay gasped and flew down, catching him. Nio moaned in pain. Jay sighed. "Fucking drug." He mumbled and Nio pressed his head into Jay's arm. Jay flew to the HQ and brought him in to the med ward. "This is where you end up every time." He mumbled and set him on a bed.
The nurse gasped and immediately brought over the doctor. He yelled for some things and started to fix Nio. Luckily his wings had cushioned his fall. The only problem was that his arm was broken. His bones were badly bruised but he would live.
May stormed in and grabbed Jay by the hand and pulled him outside. "WE DON'T KILL PEOPLE HERE. WE STOPPED THAT A LONG TIME AGO. WE CATCH THEM AND TURN THEM OVER TO THE GOVERNMENT." She yelled and Jay looked at the ground. "I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID LAST TIME BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE BLUFFING." She yelled.
Jay put a hand on her shoulder. "Mom, I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again." She nodded. "Yeah I know you won't. You are on desk duty for the rest of the year." She said and Jay's jaw dropped. "YYou you can't." He said and she smirked.
"I can and I will." She walked away and Jay sighed. The doctor was talking to Nio who was awake. "So when can I leave. I uh don't think I'm wanted here." He said and the doctor shook his head. "Actually you are needed. May wants you around. Sorry but I can't let you go." Nio pursed his lips after hearing those words and lied down in the bed.
Jay walked over and grabbed his hand after the doctor left. Nio stared at him and yanked his hand away. Jay sighed and sat on the edge of Nio's bed. "Look-" "No you look here." Nio said. "I don't give a damn if you want to kill me. COuld you just do it correctly. For god sake I'm too scared to do it myself." He said and whispered the last sentence.
Jay turned to him shocked. "What.." He whispered and Nio turned away from him. "Just forget what I said ok. Go find someone who won't leve you." Nio's voice was hoarse and Jay grabbed his shoulder. "I've tried." He whispered and Nio whipped his face around.
"Don't you get it. I'm not good enough for anything. I can't even kill myself properly." He yelled and Jay grabbed his face. "God dammit Nio. I'm happy you didn't die." He whispered and Nio pulled his face away. "Well I'm not." Nio whispered and he softly sobbed. Jay pulled him in his arms.
"Why is it that I'm always saving you from the sea and you sobbing in this room." He whispered in Nio's ear and Nio smiled. Jay brushed away his tears and kissed his fore head. "I'm sorry for throwing you off a building." He said and Nio laughed.
"I'm sorry for leaving. I just felt trapped.." Nio said and Jay smiled at him. "I have an idea. Whenever you feel trapped, why don't you just go to the beach. You can stay there as long as you like, just please text me." Jay said and Nio nodded. "Deal."
