Flesh of My Blood-Chp182

[Soon the royal family medics as well as Wander's own medics came to tend to Hater n brought him inside the palace to the medic wing]

Wander: (waited nervously)

Terry: (buried his face in Grimm's shoulder)

Grimm: [also waited after tending to all the armada both his side n Wander's side n sending them off to the main common room to wait their fate]

Sylvia: [leaned against Peepers, waiting nervously as well]

Brad: [had his arms ard Wander to calm him down]

Peepers: :(

Wander: (thinks; PLease let him be okay...please...)

[almost an hour later, the medics finally came out]

Grimm: Talk to me. How is my brother n the baby?

Doc: We've finally stabilized him. He's suffered a lot of fractures here n there, as well as a lot of blood was lost, bt he's out of the woods. The babies barely made it, bt he will hv to be in an induced coma for the remainder of his pregnancy so as not to stress himself out n the babies

Brad: Wait, did u say babies?

Doc: Yes, he has three eggs in him

Terry: :O Triplets...?

Grimm: :| [was in shock for a moment before fainting]

Brad: Oi vey, I thought u would've been the one fainting, dude [looking deadpan at Terry]

Sylvia: Wait, wats going on? Wen did Bonehead get knocked up again, buddy? [looking at Wander confused]

Terry: :O Grimmy! (went to his side)

Wander: Well, about that... (explains what happened with Hater and Terry)

Sylvia: [grimaced] Yikes... That kinda sucks...

Wander: But he's hopefully okay from all that's happened...

Sylvia: Wait, how the heck in the 9 galaxies did Bonehead survive tht fall?

Brad: It was Grimm. I managed to find Grimm n Terry in the throne room looking a little bruised n battered bcoz Fury beat the crap out of them wen he sorta figured out wat was going on. We were abt to come out to join the fight to subdue Fury's army wen we saw Fury throwing Boney off the tower. Grimm teleported in the nick of time n caught him mid-air. Pure dumb luck, bt we're glad for tht

Wander: (sighed in relief)

Grimm: [slowly stirred n woke up] Uuugghhh... Grob, I had the weirdest dream... Someone told me my brother is carrying triplets...

Terry: ^^;; No dream, sweetie.

Grimm: Wha...?

Brad: Yup. Get ready to adopt three brats in the nxt few mths. U better start up the nursery quick :D

Grimm: ..... @___@ [fainted again]

Terry: :| Grimm...

Wander: (giggle)

Sylvia: Oi vey...

Brad: The doc said he'll be in an induced coma until he gives birth. U gonna be OK with waiting that long, furball?

Wander: :( ...Mhm...

Brad: Guess we're gonna be staying here for a little while longer [turned to Terry] If that's okay with u n Grimm

Terry: I suppose...but at least that monster is now gone...

Sylvia: Wat r u guys gonna do with his body? N his army of supporters?

Terry: Grimm is offically the ruler now, he'll think of something.

Brad: Alright. U guys do u. We'll settle here until Hater gets better

Sylvia: Oh! I almost forgot [whispered to Peepers to go get the litter from the ship]

Peepers: (nod) (goes to do so)

[moments later, Peepers came bk with the litter n the twins in a big baby pram]

Dipper: [sees Wander n squealed] Nyuuu~~~!!! :D

Wander: :) Aw, hey, buddy.

[the litter, once the baby pram stopped, climbed out of the pram n climbed onto Wander's bk, missing their daddy already, while the twins whimpered, wanting to be out as well bt not old enough to crawl or get up on their own]

Wander: (carried the twins in his arms) ^^ Daddy's missed you all too.

Dipper: [looked ard for Hater] Mama?

Litter: [babbled in unison] Mama? Mama?

Wander: Mama's...gonna be asleep for a little while.

Sylvia: U guys can go in n see Hater. We'll take care of things from here

Brad: Yeah. U guys can finally be together without hiding ard now. Go on

Wander: (nod) (brough the litter and twins in with him)

[the sound of the heart monitor beeping could be heard in the room Hater was in, n Hater himself was inside a hibernation chamber pod, hooked onto tubes n wires that kept him fed n hydrated n to monitor his condition]

Dipper: [sees Hater inside the pod that reminded him of the twins inside the incubator] Nyu~? :(

Wander: He just needs time to recover, sweetie. :(

Litter: [including Dipper, all crowded onto the pod] Mama~ ;(

Wander: (soothed them gently) He'll be okay, babies...he'll be okay.

Twins: [also sees Hater n spoke their first words] M... Ma... Mama... :(

Wander: :) (petted their heads gently)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp181

[amidst the huge fight, a loud booming voice rang thru the palace, coming from the watch tower]

Fury: HALT, EVERYONE!!

Peepers: (looked to see his buddy) :O!

Fury: I KNOW WHY UR HERE!! UR HERE BCOZ U WANT TO RESCUE THIS FREAK!! [brandished a limp Hater covered in blood] WELL, NO MORE! HE IS NO LONGER WORTH UR TROUBLES! SO PUT DWN UR WEAPONS N SURRENDER! OR U WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF LORD FURY!!

Wander: (arrived on the scene and noticed Hater all bloody and buised) ... :O HATEY!!

Fury: ]:) [let out a maniacal laugh as he held the limp Hater up high off the ledge of the tower, then let go, dropping him dwn towards the ground below]

Wander: (flew as fast as he could to try and catch Hater)

Sylvia: [sees it n also ran towards the falling Hater, wanting to help catch him as well]

Wander: (tried to grab hold of the Skeletor)

[Hater's limp body fell out of bounds out of the palace, out of anyone's reach]

Wander: (stopped in midair, feeling the whole world slow down around him) ... ;(

Sylvia: [gasped] Oh gob... :(

Fury: [continued to laugh out loud maniacally at his demise]

Wander: (stared blankly...his hands and eyes began to glow white...then red...then his whole body became incased in black with his eyes and hands al glowing red, looking back slowly at Fury) ... (angry) (charged at him)

Fury: [sees Wander charged at him] (evil) Oh yeah, bring it on, furball [flared his power claws n braced himself for him]

Wander: (got Fury straight in the face, knocking him backwards) You've messed with us for the last fucking time... (his voice sounded disorted)

Fury: [was surprised a little bt chuckled darkly] Good, I've been itching for a good fight [jumped off the watch tower n started clashing powers with him, using the roof n walls as leverage to jump ard]

Wander: (flew around, getting a punch in Fury's face each one harder then the last)

Fury: [also manages to get a few hits, scratching n breaking the black encasing ard Wander's body, even stunned him with his powers a few times]

[The whole place was in a standstill as they stopped whatever they were doing to watch the epic battle]

Wander: He was everything to me...AND YOU JUST TOOK HIM AWAY! (got Fury's jaw, getting blood in the procress)

Fury: Ur better off without tht freak! Who knows how many men he's fucked! Or is that the standards of the great Lord Wander the Conqueror? Marrying whores who's been everyone's glory hole [scratched Wander's face n sent out a burning shock]

Wander: (winced at the attack on his face...but began laughing it off) Is that really the best you've got, old man? (evil)

Fury: (evil) Not even close [continued to trade blows with each other, shooting stray rays everywhere]

[Everyone tried to dodge the bolts n rays n the debris kicked up n ran for cover]

Wander: (kept attacking till he finally had Fury pinned down) Any lasy requests, before I send you to hell?

Fury: Not if I send u to hell first [concentrated until his whole body sparked with his flare powers n self combusted, laughing as he shocked n burned Wander at the same time, kicking up even more debris]

Wander: (cringed but kept his grip on Fury, his hand lighting up an attack)

Fury: How does it feel to fuck my freak of a son? I bet ur puny cock can't even satisfy his whore-ish cunt! [combusted even more, breaking the black encasing on Wander's hands]

Wander: (growled, then screamed punching his hand fully through Fury's chest)

Fury: [choked out as his body combustion suddenly fizzled out, glaring in disbelief at Wander, then chuckled softly] Heh... Guess... Tht freak... Finally found... Someone to love... His sorry ass...

Wander: Enjoy your time in hell...you'll need it... ]:) (threw him over the side)

Fury: [coughed out blood as he fell dwn to the ground below from the rooftop they were on, Wander's red eyes looking dwn at him was the last thing he saw before he let out a last chuckle n died]

[Everyone crowded ard Fury's dead body, looking unsure as to wat to do next]

Wander: (floated downward, still in his state) ...

Sylvia: [came to Wander] W... Wander... [wasn't sure if she should get close to him]

Wander: (glared till the blackness around him faded away, his hands and eyes back to normal as well as he began to collapse)

Sylvia: [knelt nxt to him] Wander... Oh Wander... [puts her hands on his shoulders]

Wander: (breathed heavily) ...He's...he's gone...but...so is... :(

Sylvia: So is...? [held him close]

Wander: ;( H-Hatey... he's... (buried his face in Sylvia's chest)

Sylvia: [didn't understand, bt held him close anyways n comforted him]

??: Guys?! Guys, a little help here!!

Wander: (glanced up) ?

[Brad n Grimm were running in, carrying Hater's limp body together]

Wander: :O Hatey...?

Brad: Is there a medic in the house?! He's barely breathing!!

Grimm: Someone send forth the royal physician!!

Wander: (worry)

Sylvia: Oh thank gob he's alive! Medic!! Anyone??

Flesh of My Blood-Chp180

[3 weeks soon passed with no word frm Sylvia as their speed travel causes communication to be cut off till then. Late one night...]

Hater: [was with Wander just snuggling since Wander didn't feel like going bk to the other room just yet]

Wander: (kept close to Hater's side)

Hater: [was abt to fall asleep wen he heard the loud alarm siren] Wat the...?

Wander: (jerked awake) H-huh? Who left the stove on...? (yawn)

Hater: [got out of bed n made his way to the window to see wat the commotion is abt]

Wander: (also got up to see)

[Fury's armed forces came out in full march, making their way out of the palace, n in the distance there were a bunch of lights flipped on n out poured soldiers n security of all kinds]

Hater: Wat the...? [looked up in the sky n saw air forces flew by as well] Could it be...?

Wander: :O Is it...?

Hater: Go bk to Brad. Quick! Before my dad comes up!

Wander: But-

Hater: Go! Brad might be in contact with Sylvia already n probably making plans as we speak. U need to be there

Wander: :( ... (headed back for the room where Brad was)

Brad: [was awake n on the tablet with Sylvia as Hater predicted] U guys moving in already?

Sylvia: Yeah, the computer warned us abt the defense mechanism, bt we thought fuck it, we need to save u guys, so bring on the fire! Yeehaa!

Wander: (hurried into the room) Brad!

Brad: Hey, furball. Its Sylvia. She's here n she's breaching the defense mechanism to keep Fury's men distracted. This might be a good time as any to escape

Wander: But what about Hatey?? I can't leave him behind!

Brad: |-( Duh! We're bringing him along. Tht's wat the diversion is for! C'mon, lets go!

Wander: (nod) Right!

Brad: [kept the tablet, fixed up his sword n got ready to go]

Hater: [looked outside at the window in worry]

Wander: (peeked back in) Hatey, we need to get moving.

Hater: Wat? Bt... Bt my dad... There's the armed forces everywhere...

Wander: It's a diversion. We need to get away while we can.

Hater: OK... [was unsure, having a bad feeling abt this, bt followed Wander anyway]

Brad: [went ahead, making sure the coast is clear] All clear! Let's head off to the catacombs, we can get out frm there n give Sylvia a rendezvous point to pick us up

Wander: (held Hater's hand)

Hater: (nod) [squeezed Wander's hand n followed them]

Wander: (also followed Brad)

[the trio stuck to the shadows n walls, making past the security running ard towards Sylvia n the armada. Thru the commotion, they could hear some of the armada storming in, some of them being Awesome n Ryder n their minions, fighting their way thru]

Wander: :) (thinks; go Sylvia)

Brad: Wow, her ex-es seem to be pretty useful

Hater: I didn't knw Awesome n Ryder had so much minions

Wander: They sure do have a lot.

Brad: C'mon, we're almost near the entrance to the catacombs. I hope ur OK with walking among the dead

Hater: At this rate, I'm good with anything as long as we can get outta here

Wander: Let's go.

[the trio ran n dodged their way thru, n the catacombs were almost in sight, until suddenly a figure teleported in front of the entrance]

Fury: Going somewhere? (evil)

Wander: :O Oh no... (got in front of Hater to block him from Fury)

Brad: Oh shit [brandished his sword n got in front of the couple]

Fury: I knew there was something fishy going on wen a huge bunch of armada started showing up out of nowhere. U think I was smacking u ard just for fun? It was my chance to implant this bug on u, n guess where it led me to [showed his bug transmitter device in his hand]

Hater: Wha...? [felt ard his body n realized that the bug was hidden inside the hem of his cloak all along] U bastard...

Wander: ...You don't deserve him as a son...

Fury: I never saw him as a son. He's a freak, n he always will be. But he is a useful freak, seeing as he still carries my future grandchildren in him, n my rightful son needs heirs of his blood after all

Hater: [covered his baby bump] I would nvr give Terry's kids to the likes of u!!

Wander: (angry) (charged forward)

Brad: [charged forward as well, yelling out his battle cry]

Fury: [teleported in n out, dodging both their attacks, until he teleported right behind Hater, holding him in a headlock]

Hater: Fuck! Let go of me!! [struggled against him]

Wander: No, Hatey!!

Fury: Come any closer n this freak gets it!! Heh, I gotta hand it to u, son. U managed to snag the very man I planned to take dwn so tht I can carry on my conquering thru Grimm

Hater: He's my husband, n ur no match for him!!

Fury: We'll see abt tht [held tight onto Hater as they both vanished, teleporting to God knows where]

Wander: (tried to grab Hater but was too later) ... (slammed his fists on the floor) No, DAMN IT NO!

Brad: Wtf?! Where did he go?!

Sylvia: [calling from the tablet] Brad! Wander! U there??

Wander: Hatey...he took Hatey...

Sylvia: I know! Pipsqueak spotted them! He's at the watch tower on the north side of the palace!!

Wander: (growled and formed out his wings)

Brad: U go! I'll go chk on Grimm n Terry!

Wander: (nod) (flew off in search of Hater)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp179

[2 mths felt like forever for them as they waited for Sylvia. Sylvia will occasionally keep them updated as she continues to amass more troops, while Brad n Wander tries to lay low, having to turn the other cheek wen Fury unleashes his wrath on Hater from time to time. If it weren't for the fact tht Hater is pregnant n Fury needed him to secure Grimm's legacy, he would've done much worse. A week dwn the 2nd mth, it was no different]

Hater: Fuck u, Dad! One day u will get wats coming for u!!

Fury: [growled n gripped his arm, sending a searing burn onto it] U watch ur tongue, u freak! U don't want to be responsible for the death of ur brother's heir. Or else ur gonna hv to go thru it all over again with the lizard boy. Is tht it then? U love that lizard guy's cock inside u, dontcha, u little whore?

Hater: [groaned out loud at the burn] F-Fuck u...!! U killed Mom, n u killed my fiance, n gob knws who else more? I should kill u right now!! [flared his hand, bt was stopped with a burning smack on his face]

Fury: U got spunk, I'll give u tht. I guess selling u off n make u every man's glory hole to fuck hasn't tamed u one bit

Brad: [all the while was in the other room holding Wander tight n covering the nomad's ears to keep him from lashing out]

Wander: (gritted his teeth trying not to hear any of this)

[Fury n Hater continued to hv their shouting match with each other n smacking in btwn until Terry came up with the food, interrupting them]

Terry: Um...s-sire...?

Fury: What?! [turned to him n sees Terry with the food] Hmph! Time to feed ur sorry face, huh? Well eat up. Enjoy it while it last. Maybe u can get ur lizard boyfriend to feed u mouth to mouth [sneered as he slammed Hater's head against the bed post before leaving, purposely bumping against Terry]

Hater: (doh) Fuck, tht smarts... [rubbed his forehead]

Terry: (grimanced as Fury bumped him and left) ... (walked up to Hater) You okay? :(

Hater: Yeah, nothing I haven't endured for the last 2 mths [groaned at the soreness of his head n arm as he rubbed his baby bump, which had grown considerably]

Terry: Ooh, that's looks terrible...

Hater: I'll be fine. I had worse... [winced as he sat dwn, then cringed wen he saw Wander standing at the doorway behind him] Oh... Hey, Wander...

Wander: ...He hurt you... again...

Hater: It's nothing new. I can deal with it as long as ur here with me [tries to force a smile to be strong]

Brad: [brought the first aid kit he got from Grimm for situations like this] Here...

Terry: (places tray of food before Hater)

Wander: ...this cant go on.

Hater: I know, bt it won't be long. Sylvia said she's got most of the team ready the last time she called, right?

Brad: Yeah, sorta. She said she's got all the armada ready to serve, bt bcoz they're across the 9 galaxies, it will take a bit of time for all of them to meet at the rendezvous point before heading our way [started to help with bandaging n applying medicine on Hater's wounds]

Terry: Hopefully they'll get here soon...

Wander: (makes fists)...(punches the wall)

Terry: :o !

Hater: W-Wander...

Brad: Geez, calm dwn, Wander...

Wander: (stares at his now-bloody knuckles) ... At some point, it'll be HIS blood...

Terry: (worry)

Hater: [comes to Wander n held him bloody knuckled hand] Wander, why did u do tht? Honestly... [kissed it, then takes the meds from the first aid kit n dabbed it on his wounds]

Wander: ...sorry...I don't know how much longer I can hold back... :(

Hater: U hv to, until Sylvia comes with the armada, then u can unleash hell all u want [wrapped some bandages ard it]

Wander: I know... (Waited till his hand was fixed to hug Hater)

Brad: [sighed] I'll go give Sylvia a call to see wats her status [left the room to go next door]

Hater: [pushed some food to Wander] Eat with me, Wander. U haven't had ur lunch yet, right?

Wander: (his tummy growled) ... Nope. ^^;;

Hater: [saved a portion aside] This one is for Brad. Now we can eat

Wander: :) (sits with Hater and eats a bit of his portion)

Hater: [ate his hungrily, his appetite kicking in]

Brad: [came bk in with a tired sigh]

Wander: (noticed Brad but kept eating)

Brad: [sees the free portion on the side] Is tht for me?

Hater: Yup, dig in. I bet ur hungry

Brad: Don't mind if I do [sat with them n ate]

Hater: Hv u eaten yet, Terry?

Terry: Not recently...

Hater: U wanna join us? U should eat something. It's not good to starve urself. Grimm will be worried

Terry: Well... Okay. (joins them)

[the four of them sat n ate in comfortable silence, altho Hater winced once in a while wen he moved his bad arm]

Wander: (noticed this) :(

Hater: [just put up a strong front n gave him a small smile, squeezing his hand gently]

Wander: (squeezed back)

Hater: So wats the update from Sylvia?

Brad: She said the last of the armada hv finally arrived at the rendezvous point, so they're now on the move n odw here

Wander: :) That's good.

Hater: Thank gob. Let's just hope there won't be any delays odw here for them

Wander: Hope not...

Hater: How's Grimm doing right now, Terry?

Terry: Getting a little anxious.

Hater: Dad didn't do anything to hurt him or anything, right? Or to u?

Terry: (was silent) :(...

Hater: :( Terry, wat did Dad do?

Brad: [was fearing the worst, bt he was curious as well]

Terry: (sniffled) He... beat me...Grimm tried to prevent it, but... ;(

Hater: Oh Terry [held him close to comfort him] Is Grimm OK? Is he hurt as well?

Terry: He got hurt a little...but not as badly... (held Hater close)

Wander: :(

Brad: [sighed, feeling sorry for them]

Hater: [rubbed his bk to comfort him more]

Terry: (sniffled, hiding his face in Hater's shoulder)

Brad: This guy reli needs to be put on a stake n shot then burnt >:C

Wander: Or way worse...

Hater: U will hv plenty of chances for tht wen Sylvia arrives with the armada

Wander: I know that.

Terry: :(

Flesh of My Blood-Chp178

Brad: [led Wander bk to Hater's room n started launching the tablet] There, I got connection to ur mothership. U need to key in ur security data n password

Hater: [slowly gets up n sits next to Wander to watch him do his thing]

Wander: (got to typing up what they needed)

[a string of beeps n boops n static sounds before finally they are connected to the computer]

Computer: Access granted. Systems online. Welcome bk, Master Wander

Wander: :) we're in.

Brad: Good. Now tell it to access Sylvia's location n contact her communicator

Wander: (does so)

Computer: Contacting Sylvia. Standby...

Hater: [leans against Wander]

Grimm: Wat r u guys trying to do?

Brad: U'll see

Terry: ?

Wander: C'mon, Sylvia, pick up...

[meanwhile, Sylvia was with her bros n Peepers, after accepting their invitation to join them on their holiday]

Sylvia: [hears her communicator ringing while they were chilling at the beach] Oh Pipsqueak, my communicator is at ur end. Fetch it for me?

Peepers: (nod) (goes and brings it to her)

Sylvia: [takes the communicator, double chk to see her twins n the litters were having fun with Westley n the minions n answered the call] Yo, hey, buddy! Long time no hear! How did the meeting the parents go?

Wander: Well... (explains the whole solution)

Sylvia: [sat up seriously] Oi vey, tht is bad

Brad: Hey, zbornak. Its me, Brad. Yeah, it is bad. So we kinda need ur help

Sylvia: Sure, whatever u guys need.

Brad: Can u guys get in contact with Awesome n Ryder?

Wander: We need back up for this.

Sylvia: Sure, I still hv their contacts

Brad: Maybe evn contact some of the leaders of Wander's conquered planets who hv heavy artillery n armies n r loyal to Wander

Wander: (nod)

Sylvia: Got it. Don't worry. I'll get it done. Bt it might take a while to contact all of them. Evn if I expedite it, it'll prolly take at least 2 mths

Wander: That long...?

Sylvia: Its the best I can do at such short notice

Wander: Just...try not to take longer then that.

Sylvia: I'll give it my best. Just hang in there, alright?

Wander: Will try.

Sylvia: Right, I'll get started right away.

Brad: Contact us on this frequency. Its a secure channel

Sylvia: Will do [hangs up]

Brad: Guess tht's settled. Now we just hv to wait for her reply

Wander: (nod) Mhm.

Grimm: I should probably help u with tht [sat nxt to Hater n held out his palm against the bruised spot, then sparked some blue aura which was cold to the touch]

Hater: [hissed a bit bt let Grimm soothe his bruise]

Wander: ... Two months...

Brad: Yeah, we'll just hv to be patient by then, n since we hv the tablet, we can keep up to date frm time to time

Wander: I suppose... (looked at Hater) :(

Hater: I've been meaning to ask... where's Envy?

Grimm: Envy? U mean ur ex-fiancé? Umm... [looks away guiltily]

Wander: Did... something happen to him...?

Terry: (worry)

Grimm: [wasn't sure wat to say]

Hater: Pls. I need to knw. I just found out Mom died. I think I deserve to knw if its bad news

Grimm: Well... He said u two were supposed to celebrate ur 18th bday together in secret. He... He actually planned to elope with u. He still wanted to go thru with the engagement n the marriage evn tho our parents broke it off. Wen he came to ur room n found u were gone, Loathe told him wat Dad did. He was mad as hell. He didn't care tht our parents found out u guys been meeting each other secretly. He went to Dad n demanded to knw where u were sold. He wanted to go find u, he reli did, bt... Dad didn't want to tell him, n Envy attacked Dad, n then... he... :(

Wander: He...?

Hater: He killed him, didn't he? Dad killed him...

Grimm: It was an accident. It was self-defense. Envy was gonna kill him too n it just...happened. But... Dad escalated it further by sending assassins to kill Envy's entire family to cover it up... :(

Wander: :(

Terry: ;(

Hater: [stared in shock for a moment] .....Envy... ;(

Wander: I'm so sorry, Hatey... :(

Hater: He was... He was the only person who loved me for who I am... He still wanted to marry me... N Dad... Dad killed him... ;(

Wander: (placed his hand on Hater's)

Hater: [leaned against Wander n sobbed] ;(

Brad: Geez, can this guy get any shittier?

Terry: :( I don't even want to imagine it...

Grimm: We'll just hv to hope tht ur calvary will make it in time

Brad: Fingers crossed for this

Wander: (rubbed Hater's head) :(

Flesh of My Blood-Chp177

[a few hours later, Terry n Grimm showed up]

Grimm: [knocked the door, whispered] Brad? Wander? U guys in there?

Wander: (nod) We are.

Grimm: [enters quietly with Terry n some food]

Hater: [smells the food n groaned, feeling sick]

Wander: (rubbed Hater's back)

Terry: Is he still not doing so good? :(

Brad: The usual morning sickness n all tht. He also had a scuffle with ur dad

Grimm: Huh? W-Wat did my dad do?

Wander: Asked about...his mother...

Terry: :O

Grimm: Oh no... :(

Hater: It's OK [turned n let them see his face] It's my bad... I shouldn't hv asked...

Wander: :(

Grimm: Oh Hater... [comes to him n sat next to him, caressing his hurt face]

Terry: ;(

[everyone was silent, feeling Hater's pain n sadness]

Wander: ... (got up and headed for the room he and Brad were hiding in)

Brad: [sees him leave] W-Wander... [followed behind him]

Hater: [sees him leave n buried his face in the pillows, sobbing] ;(

Wander: (stepped into the other room) ... What, Brad? (sensed the other man followed him)

Brad: Wander, I know ur upset, bt pls don't try to do anything brash... [reached over to put his hand on his shoulder bt got smacked away]

Wander: He needs to be taken down...for good.. Hater's been through enough as it is... (makes his hands fists) You're suggesting that we just do nothing, is THAT it??

Brad: Yes! Atm we CAN'T do anything! Hv u heard wat Grimm has told us? Fury has the manpower, the influence, the authority. We're just two ppl! U wanna get urself killed before u can do anything? U go out like this n we r all doomed to fail, n Hater will be a prisoner here forever. Do u want that?!

Wander: You'd be feeling the same way if it was ME in his position, you wouldn't just sit around!

Brad: Which is why I'm here to keep ur head level instead of barging into this without a plan. I know ur upset, I feel terrible too seeing Boney like this. U think I want him to suffer like this as well? Wat we need is a plan! The tablet I want from Grimm is the plan!

Wander: ... (turns away) Just let me be for a bit...

Brad: [sighed n gently patted Wander's shoulder without saying a word before returning to Hater's room]

Hater: [had his head on Grimm's lap, with Grimm stroking his head to comfort him]

Terry: (sees Brad) Is everything okay...?

Brad: Yeah, he just needs to cool off a little. So, uh, how long does ur species' pregnancy last anyways?

Terry: (think) About 4 to 6 months at least... :(

Brad: Oi vey... So wat do u wanna do? We're definitely taking dwn Fury, no doubt abt it. Bt once we do, wat do u wanna do with the baby? Do u want to let him keep it or get rid of it?

Grimm: It's up to u, Terry. It's mainly ur child. N up to u, Hater, since ur carrying it

Terry: ... (turns to Grimm) How would you feel if I'd rather adopt?

Grimm: I'm good either way, however u want to hv a child. Bt r u sure u want Hater to get rid of the child? It's still urs, ur blood n all...

Terry: From what I can tell, he doesn't want the child. I don't want it being a burden on both him and me.

Hater: I... I don't... Bt... I can't bring myself to kill a child either... It's not the baby's fault...

Terry: ...This is just a thought, but... once the child is born, we can...have someone else adopt that child?

Grimm: R u sure? But it's ur child. I'd accept it either way. R u willing to let someone else take ur child tht u've always wanted to give me?

Terry: ...I'm fine with this, really...

Grimm: Then I'll adopt it. I'll take it as my own n I'll accept it. Bcoz the child belongs to u.

Hater: R u sure ur OK with tht, Grimm?

Grimm: The child may not be of my direct blood, bt it's from u, n ur my brother, my blood. I wouldn't hv it any other way

Terry: ... (hugs Grimm) :)

Hater: :) [nuzzled his lap]

Grimm: [hugged Terry with one arm n stroke Hater's head with his free hand]

Terry: Love you, Grimmy... (heart)

Grimm: Love u too [kissed Terry]

Brad: [cleared his throat] Not to break up this happy atmosphere bt... Uh... Hv u gotten me the tablet I request?

Grimm: Oh, right. Here it is [release Terry n dug into his robe to take out the tablet n handed it to the knight]

Terry: You've got a plan?

Brad: Yeah. It involves calling a few third parties

Grimm: The tablet is on a secure extraweb line, so u don't hv to worry abt my dad finding out abt it

Brad: Cool

Terry: Third parties? Like who?

Hater: :) I think I know who u mean

Brad: Yup. Hold up, lemme go get that furball [goes to the nxt room]

Brad: [peeked in] Psst! I got the tablet. Come n help me out

Wander: (looked up and came to him) We've got a plan?

Brad: Yup, n I need ur help, coz I need access to ur computer. U know, security password n stuff

Flesh of My Blood-Chp176

[the nxt day, the duo was awoken by a slight commotion nxt door]

Wander: (yawn) ... (sees he's next to Brad) o///o (pulled away) ? (heard some noises)

[there was a bit of shouting n a loud sound tht sounded like a smack]

Brad: [was awakened too] Hmm? Wha-? Where's the fire...? (yawn)

Wander: ... :O Hatey!!

Brad: [quickly grabbed Wander close n covered his mouth, whispering] Shh~! We'll get caught!

Wander: (protested muffled noises)

Brad: Shh~~ Shut up...!! [held him close n braced behind the door]

[The commotion continued as if no one heard Wander's outburst, then another few smacks were heard before Hater's door was slammed loudly n locked n angry footsteps stomped dwn n out of the tower]

Wander: (still struggled but wasn't being as loud as he was before)

Brad: [wait for an extra 5 mins just to be sure before letting Wander go] Seriously, ur gonna get us caught

Wander:  I know, I know, but...

Brad: [listened in for a few moments] I think he's gone. We better go chk on Hater [takes out the keys]

Wander: :(

Brad: [unlocked their door room, then chk if the coast was clear before tiptoeing to Hater's room, knocking] Psst! Its us. We're coming in [unlocks the door n entered]

Hater: [was curled up on the bed against the wall, looking dwn]

Wander: :( Hatey? (came over to him)

Hater: [sees Wander n hid his face in his knees] No, don't look at me...

Brad: [stood near the door to keep an eye out]

Wander: Hater, what did he do to you...? (rested a hand on his shoulder)

Hater: [shook his head, not wanting to look up]

Wander: Hatey... please... :(

Hater: [hesitated, then slowly looked up to show him his swollen cheek n black eye on the right] ;(

Wander: :o Hatey...

Hater: I... I lashed out at Dad... I demanded him to tell me where is Mom. I know wat Grimm told me... But I wanted to hear it from him... He told me exactly wat Grimm told me, tht my mom committed suicide a yr after he sold me... N he blames me for her death... We got into a fight n... ;(

Brad: Damn, Boney. Tht looks like it reli hurts [cringed at the sight of the bruise]

Wander: :( (hugged the Skeletor gently)

Hater: It's all my fault... He's right... It's my fault Mom is dead... ;(

Wander: NO. It's NOT. Don't you dare blame this on yourself...

Hater: But it's true! If I weren't born a freak like this, Dad wouldn't hv sold me, n Mom would still be alive...!! ;(

Wander: Hater, it's not your fault!! Its not... ;(

Hater: [sobbed in his arms] Mom... Mom... Oh gob Mom... ;(

Brad: [felt bad for him as he sat on the bed n joined the hug]

Wander: (held Hater tight, hushing him softly)

Hater: [cried till he felt sick, his hand flew to his mouth]

Brad: Uh-oh

Wander: (pulled away when he also noticed)

Hater: [ran out to the window again n puked] (puke)

Brad: Ugh, I hope no one is at the bottom there

Wander: ^^;;

Brad: Except Fury. If he's dwn there, then serves him right

Hater: [puked harder] (puke)

Wander: ... (giggle)

Brad: [comes to Hater n rubbed his bk] U good, Boney?

Hater: [coughed] Yeah, just the worst part of the pregnancy...

Wander: Mhm...

Brad: How long does a pregnancy from that Terry guy's species last anyways?

Hater: [takes a few deep breaths to ease his nausea] I don't know... I didn't get to ask him yet...

Wander: :(

Brad: Maybe he'll visit later, n then we can ask him

Hater: That's a plan (nod) [slowly made his way to the bed n curled up, groaning in discomfort]

Wander: ...This can't go on...

Brad: Wat can't go on? [sat at the window sill]

Wander: ...Fury needs to be taken down...for good...

Brad: Now tht we're here, I think I may hv a plan, bt I need Grimm's tablet he promised me to do it

Wander: Mhm...

Brad: In the meantime we gotta lay low, keep watch n bide our time. Don't want to stir up any problems before we can even make a plan

Hater: Nnhh... [curled tighter]

Wander: ... I suppose not...but I'm not gonna hold back on this forever, mind you...

Hater: I'll be fine, Wander... Just pls... Listen to Brad, don't attract any attention. I don't want u to get hurt

Wander: ... :( I know you don't...but I don't like seeing you get hurt either...

Hater: I'll be fine... I can take it. I'll get over it after a good cry n I'll be fine :(

Wander: If you're really sure...

Hater: (nod) I'm sure... Don't worry abt me... [nuzzled his hand]

Brad: [sighed] (think)

Wander: (petted his hand, and gave it a kiss)
