Henry was confused at who had entered
"Okay, what the HELL is going on here!?" A rich, smooth yet somewhat deep voice growled.
All eyes went to who spoke. Immediately, everyone except for Alex and Olivia back away. Henry realised he was still gagged.
There were two groups of twelve males and two females
"Olivia, what is the meaning of this!?" One of the females asked, angry.
Henry couldn't talk. He looks at the group. The male who spoke first approached Henry
"And why have you tied and gagged Henry!? Are you trying to torture him or what!?" The male barked.
Henry was relieved when the gag was removed from him
"Are you alright, Henry?" The male asked
"I am, as far as I'm concerned," Henry nods.
The male was about to release Henry from his restraints, but Alex stepped forwards
"No, don't let him go." He said softly.
The male looks at Alex abruptly
"Excuse me?" He said, eyes now narrowed
"Don't let him go. We need to speak to him. And the only way we can do it, is if he's here, in restraints. He won't let us speak," Alex said
"And you want to know why? You and Olivia, are my enemies! You had sex together in YOUR bed, Alex! I don't know how many time I've got to tell you the same thing over and over again! You're wishing for something extremely useless! Why can't you just let me go!? Be happy with Olivia and don't come and bother me!" Henry shouted.
The group gasp and look at Olivia and Alex, the rest of their crew staying away
"Is that true!?" The other female asked
"Is it." Olivia nods shamefully
"Where the hell is your dignity, you two? Did you even have any when you were born?" Another male asked with a sneer.
Olivia and Alex both went quiet. The male behind Henry let him go and checked him for injuries
"Thank God, you aren't harmed. Quickly now, let's get you back to Scott. He's worried about you," the male said
"Wait, you know Scott? Who the hell are you!?" Alex growled
"Who I am, isn't your business. Especially not since you and Olivia have been terrorising Henry for answers and explanations. And also so you can try and plead your way to forgiveness and another chance," the male sneered.
Henry was carefully helped up
"Come, Henry, let's go," the male said.
Henry nods. He glared at Olivia and Alex then left with the male and the group he came with. Once the group were out of the building and in the sun, the male looks at Henry
"I'm Nigel Starling. Only Scott knew about me, my siblings and the Sterling siblings with us. When he explained the situation, we came immediately to help. It seems Alex is being selfish," Nigel said
"A pleasure to meet you, Nigel. And yes, a warning, this situation is incredibly messy. Alex won't give up, and I can't get comfortable with Scott because of him. My so-called sister, Olivia, who slept and had sex with Alex, are trying to beg for forgiveness and another chance, not knowing that what they've done, is beyond repair really," Henry sighed.
Nigel only nods
"Which I can tell. We know about your family and Scott's. Scott has always kept up to date on them both. It's for the comfort and protection of you both. Especially in a time such as now," he said carefully.
Henry nods, seeming to understand what Nigel was getting to. The group got to where Scott was with the seven creators
"Scott!" Henry called.
Scott immediately looked at Henry. Quickly, Henry approached Scott and the two grip-hugged each other, holding each other tightly
"Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?" Scott asked as he and Henry pulled away from their embrace
"N-No, thankfully not, but I'm worried now, Scott... those two are becoming out of control with this behaviour... it frightens me," Henry mumbled
"I know, sweetheart, I know. Don't worry, we're going to get the authorities onto it. Sakura and Ren saw the Head Chief Officer and spoke to him about what's going on. However, the Officer wants to speak to you before anything else. So, I'll come with with the crew you came with and we'll head to the police station ASAP," Scott said softly.
Henry nods. The couple left with the Starling and Sterling siblings and got to the Alnaraian police station. They enter. Conveniently, the Chieff Officer, Chief Officer Michael Wilson was waiting
"Ah! Henry, it is lovely to meet you. Your boyfriend has told me the situation. I must have a chat to you, your boyfriend and the crew you're with. Quickly, come through," Chief Officer Wilson said.
The group follow Chief Officer Wilson into a private meeting room and the doors were shut for privacy. Everyone took their seats. Scott, Nigel and Edmond stayed with Henry
"Well, Henry, I got told the scandal you caught your ex and sister in. Now, they're being extremely invasive, and for the fact it's constant, I'm concerned that Alex has tried to cause trouble," Chief Officer Wilson said
"He kissed me once without my consent. He just pulled me in and kissed me as if I was his. I didn't expect it, but doesn't mean I wanted it," Henry said
"Invasive that is. Especially for the fact that consent wasn't there. Has Alex been invading your personal space often?" Chief Officer Wilson asked
"He kidnapped me earlier. With the help of Olivia and his own siblings and the rest of the Swan siblings. Obviously excluding Scott. However, the Starling and Sterling siblings rescued me thanks to Scott," Henry said carefully.
Chief Officer Wilson wrote notes. He was worried and it showed
"We'll have to have a firm chat to the families to these two. Henry and Scott, how have your families responded to this? Such as your parents and other siblings?" He asked
"Well, my family told me I was a liar when I busted Olivia. I showed them photos, yet, they called me a liar. They said I was the one in the wrong. They made Olivia seem like the victim all because she was upset and crying. Olivia made a scene because she knew she got caught with Alex, BY ME!" Henry said.
Chief Officer Wilson wrote those notes down then he looks at Scott
"What about your family, Scott?" He asked
"My siblings didn't believe it either. My parents, well, let's they left for a really long holiday and never returned. So, they don't know about this. But my siblings seem to have sided with Alex, which is a bad sign," Scott replied.
With a solemn nod, Chief Officer Wilson wrote those notes down too. After the meeting, before anyone could leave, knocking was heard on the doors
"Who is it?" Chief Officer Wilson called
"Co-Chief Officer Luke Layden here, Wilson. The Southwell siblings, excluding Olivia are here to see you. However, with you, Henry and Scott privately only," Co-Chief Officer Layden said.
Chief Officer Wilson looks at Scott and Henry
"Maybe this'll give us more answers. I'll accept this, however, I will certainly be aware of you two," he said.
Henry and Scott nod. The Starling and Sterling siblings leave and wait out the front for Henry and Scott. The Southwell boys were let in and they take their seats.
It was visible that Henry was clearly uncomfortable. Scott kept Henry close to help comfort him. Chief Officer Wilson held a comforting presence towards Henry, helping him to relax a bit
"So, what I understand, you boys are the other eleven brothers to Henry. Is that right?" Chief Officer Wilson asked
"Yes, Officer," Jake nods
"I was told you defended Olivia when she got caught for this scandal. Do you regret defending the guilty?" Chief Officer Wilson asked
"Now, after thought, we do. Henry was indeed the victim. We've always seen it as if the youngest is hurt, she is the one who is the victim. But, clearly, she was guilty about what she had done and what she got herself into. We pushed ourselves into reflection. We were wrong to have defended Olivia. We should've defended Henry instead," Marcus said honestly.
Henry and Scott exchange a look, seeming unsure as Chief Officer Wilson wrote notes down. Scott gently kisses Henry's forehead and kept him close
"Is there anything you wish to say to Henry while he's here?" Chief Officer Wilson asked.
The rest of the Southwell brothers look at Henry
"Brother, you were indeed the victim. We are ashamed to have called you a liar, and said you were making this up. We are ashamed to have hurt you more, when you caught the scandal. We shouldn't have defended Olivia, we should've defended you. You are our awesome brother, Henry and we understand you hate us and hold resentment towards us, but, we do hope someday, we can heal what we had and return to being brothers and join your side," Jake said.
Henry felt his cheeks flush with colour. He seemed flustered. The Southwell brothers seemed surprise at this reaction
"I... I don't hate you guys as my brothers. Sure, I was mad and I was most certainly hurt after what happened. But, you didn't do any harm. And by what I can tell, you're genuine about wanting to help me. For the sake of myself, you guys and the bond we have, I'm going to forgive and forget, and hope that this is the right decision," Henry said.
The Southwell boys nod and smile. After this private little meeting, the group head out to the front. When the Starling and Sterling siblings were told the good news, they all grin
"That's awesome, Henry! They can help us out with helping you," Nigel grins
"Indeed. I'm glad my brothers came back. I was worried, I love my brothers, and I don't ever want to hate them." Henry said with a smile.
Jake slings an arm around Henry's shoulders. The two grin at each other. Scott couldn't help but grin wide, as the others did too.
The group leave the police station and Scott called Sakura and told him everything. Once Scott was done on the phone, he puts it away
"We're heading to the crystal lake hangout area. There, everyone's meeting us there. The creators are thrilled to know Henry's brothers are now here to help too," he grinned.
Everyone else grinned too. When the group got to the hangout area at the crystal lake, all eyes went to them. The Southwell boys were calm and collected, prepared for anything.
Henry was ready to defend his brothers just in case too. But, everyone was happy and everyone chatted, had fun and did activities together, fun activites.
It was no mystery: Henry was happy that his brothers came back to him. He seemed happier and more wholesome with them as well as being with Scott and the Starling and Sterling siblings.
Once it became early evening, everyone settled down and sit down and settle. All that remained in between everyone, was chatter, and certainly a lot of it.
Henry stayed with brothers and his boyfriend, Scott. The group chatted with the four males of BNHA and the males of Voltron
"So, the drama between you and your brothers is over, Henry," Shiro smiles
"Indeed. I'm glad it has. I love my brothers. We bond well, and when the scandal and outcome happened, it scarred me a bit, sure. But I never believed my brothers would go against me. Things happen, and I can forget about what happened. We agreed to forgive and forget for the sake of ourselves and our bond," Henry said honestly.
Jake grins and pinches Henry's waist, causing Henry to yelp in surprise
"OY!" He squeaked.
Everyone laughs at Henry's adorability. Jake grins and he holds Henry close in a brotherly manner. Henry huffs in a playful manner before cuddling up to Jake grinning
"Stawp," he whines playfully.
Again, more laughter. Henry felt a sense of relaxation that his brothers were now on his side again.
Jake looks around and immediately, he growls protectively and held Henry close. Scott stayed close as well, seeing what Jake was growling at.
Alex was in sight, all on his own. Olivia was nowhere to be seen. Henry saw Alex and immediately curled up, trying to hide in Jake's arms
"What do we do?" He whispered
"Scott will send the creators an unsuspicious text and then from there, we'll take it from there," Jake whispered back.
Henry nods. Scott sent the text unsuspiciously then checked for any texts or missed calls. He saw one from Erick and frowned
"Erick tried calling me. I have a bad feeling about it. I'm going to leave it," he said quietly.
Jake and Henry nod. Everyone unsuspiciously talked to each other. Alex looked at the massive group of people. He saw Henry and swallows. He looks away.
Clutching his hands into fists, Alex felt his heart move into his throat. He immediately moved out of sight and called Erick.
Bold = Erick
"Hey. What's up?"
"Has Scott called you yet?" Alex asked impatiently
"No, he hasn't. I knew this plan of yours wasn't going to work. Maybe Henry's right: you should just give up and move on. Move on with Olivia, considering you were so brazen enough to have had sex with her while with Henry. Doing it behind his back. Also, for the fact, you saw Olivia for a while and never told Henry, was a dick move."
"Which side are you on? I thought you were happy to help me!" Alex sneered
"I've got my common sense. You did wrong. You admitted it. But the mistake you're making now, is that you're not giving Henry the freedom, time and space he needs to move on! Alex, move on with Olivia, don't bother Henry and get your own common sense back! Gain some fucking dignity back!"
The call ends. Alex was mortified. He put his phone away and continued to spy on the group, Henry, his brothers and Scott specifically and the boys with them.
Scott hears his phone ring and he saw Erick ringing
"Okay. I'll settle this once and for all." He sighed and answered the call.
Bold = Erick
"Scott, I am so sorry. I was wrong to have defended Alex. Please, if I can, a bit later tonight, may I chat to you and Henry alone? I want to make things right and join your side. Alex is being a pain in my fucking ass and making it feel like it's my fault things aren't working for him."
Scott was surprised
"Erick... I, what made you change your mind?" He asked
"You're both victims. Henry especially. Alex is being his immature self and think he can always get his way. I let him control me and now, no more. I want to help you and Henry the best I can. Are we good to chat tonight?"
"Of course. I'll explain it to Henry," Scott nods
"Thank you, Scott. I'll see you and Henry a bit later tonight. Hopefully, we can get back on good terms tonight,"
"Indeed. I'm sure it'll turn out just fine, Erick. See you tonight," Scott said and ended the call.
Once Scott put his phone away, he and Henry look at each other. Being careful and cautious at the volume of his voice, Scott explained the phone call he received from Erick to Henry.
Henry showed surprise as well. However, he came back to reality and nods
"I understand. I'd love to hear what he has to say," he said honestly.
Scott nods too. As the night became darker, Henry and Scott went home and told everyone why. They were happy, and wished the couple luck.
The couple nod and headed home. When they got there, Erick was waiting outside for the two. He was nervous, and it was clear.
Henry and Scott approached, and they stop when they reach Erick. Erick turns and faced the two.
However, before any could speak, Alex came out of the blue with Olivia beside him. Nether of them said a word.
Henry, Scott and Erick looked at the two, dead silent as they stared at the two traitors.
