That tidbit was interesting. Why would someone want to bring them in first. No name, no description though. Just a person in the shadows, a letter and a bag with half of the promised funds. No words were spoken, as if they expected mind manipulation. But he wasn’t supposed to harm the child, he decided to do that on his own. The manipulator was smart and interesting, I admit. Protection against a mind user, which meant protection from Luca. Very interesting.

But the circumstances don't matter, the fact is we didn't have a face to who hired him, so this worked to our advantage. Best case scenario, bringing back Doug would make whoever hired him panic and show their hand, worst case, Doug dies. Either way Doug here was going to play Vigilante. But instead of my honorable name, Exousia, he shall be dubbed bitch ass motherfucker. Fitting, truly.

When the boys take his ass in they can look for anyone who may recognize him and it would definitely give them an edge,Pixie whispered in my mind after laughing at my thought process.

I picked his ass up and tied him up with some rope he had in the back of the hummer, presumably for me, and hog tied his ass to my bike. This was going to be so uncomfortable for him.Awesome.

Exactly. We will toss him into the cell under the building.

We pulled off, and headed toward the boys. Who had been very quiet.

Boys? Did you find the baby? Everything okay?

Dante

You haveto be a sick motherfucker to throw a baby on the side of the road. We fumed as we searched the darkness for any sign of the baby, splitting up to widen the search. I heard a little cry and ran in the direction of the sound, I really did love babies and the thought of one being harmed made my stomach sick. I looked in the grass and found a small bundled child, slightly blue in the face with some blood on his or her head.

I didn’t know how to heal, but Ellie said we had her powers now and even if I didn’t I would have pulled a miracle out of my ass from the pure terror I felt for this child. I held the child close and looked inside of myself like we were taught when first learning our powers, and I couldn’t tell the healing from the other lines of power that were now in my soul. I felt helpless and choked on a sob as I kept digging and found a golden light that felt right. I pulled until it filled me and I gently pushed it toward the baby.

Luca

We heardDante choke back a sob and walked toward him expecting the worst. As we walked closer, we saw a soft glow of gold surround the baby. The blue cheeks going back to pink and the injured head healing closed. We felt the ladies pull up behind us on their bikes, we had been too focused on our search to answer their questions. They walked up as the baby fell asleep in Dante’s arms and he turned to face us with a look of wonder on his face.

“I did it. I saved the baby.”

He looked so proud and so infatuated with the little face. Granted this didn’t fit the situation but I suddenly felt a little less terrified at the thought of one day being a dad. Of one day surrounding a beautiful baby and looking down with that same look of wonder. I looked back at Ellie and Pixie who looked toward Dante with such intensity in their gaze, and I felt a sense of peace that as long as we survived the oncoming madness, that I would love to have a family with them. We were already six, what’s one more?

Charlie

Dante reluctantly handedover the baby to me while I dropped him off, who we learned was a him, over at Mary’s place before heading back home. After shoving the stupid fucker into the prison, okay small cell, under the building and giving the guards instructions of bread and water three times a day, we trudged on upstairs.

Fuck, it’s been a long day, the trackers I ordered had arrived but I figured we can implant them tomorrow. The smart system started to play lullaby music as we walked inside and I chuckled as the men groaned about smart houses and invasion of privacy.

“And yet you fuckers had no problem invading our privacies,” I grumbled good-naturedly to Pixie and her laugh tinkered throughout the house. The guys looked at us with their eyebrows raised and we looked at them. “What?” We said it at the same time as we brushed past them on the way to the bedroom. I scanned us in, as Etienne cleared his throat.

“When are going to be added to the security system scans?” He looked so uncomfortable when he said it, that I threw up the mental wall Pixie and I had perfected over the years me and blocked them out. Eventually we would all be on the same level, but until then…

Wanna fuck with them?

Of course.

“Well, we thought about it and we figured maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea since you may be working for the Council still. How do we know this mating bond would stop you from working with them?” I raised my eyebrow as we walked to the bathroom, the men on our heels objecting.

“Why would we do that? Also I would think you would know our intentions since our mental shields have been down pretty much…” I waved off Luca’s explanation.

“Honestly though, boys,” Pixie continued, “how do we realllyyyy know you want to be with us? I mean Charlie and I were tattooed and pierced together. How are you going to top that? I mean I can think of a few ideas that we have discussed but…”

Pixie and I started the shower and began to undress.

Etienne fought a smirk, damn, I forgot he picked this shit up for a living and Pixie and I were barely keeping it together. “Hmmm interesting, what ideas?”

“Jacob’s Ladders,” we said at the same time.

Dante’s jaw dropped while the other men looked confused.

“You three looked confused, let us help you.” We took down our shields and sent them a mental picture.

They looked a varying degrees of shocked and horrified. Dante though, looked like he was seriously considering the possibility.
