Chapter Twenty-Five: The Heart’s Dumb

Despite having already known that Wayne’s Power was Gun, or at least believing him when he said it, Trevor froze when he saw the pistol. The dwarf’s body language was hostile and guarded, and the reaction came from years of active shooter training and terrible news reports. Even still, he took a breath and centered himself.

While he was sure Wayne meant to be intimidating, and he was succeeding, that wasn’t the thing that went through Trevor’s mind. Instead, he was thinking about how he would have run away at the mere sight of a frightening person with a gun before. The young man still wanted to run and hide, that didn’t change, but he was also confident enough to stand his ground.

“That’s a good response,” Wayne said, setting his jaw as he nodded. “Wary, but not backing down.”

“I don’t think you’re going to shoot me,” Trevor stated. “Plus, there’s nothing going on with me and Adabelle.”

“Well now, you must think I’m blind,” Wayne retorted before picking up the gun. “I saw how you reacted when I said you two were flirting.”

Wayne didn’t aim it at Trevor, but instead towards the nearest scarecrow. Taking a moment to line up the shot, he fired. A loud crack echoed through the clearing as the scarecrow’s head was blown right off. The dwarf’s arm kicked back due to the powerful recoil, but he had seemed ready for it.

“Was that to prove you aren’t blind?” Trevor asked.

“Yup.”

“That’s pretty good proof,” he said with a nervous chuckle. “But I’m being completely serious, there’s nothing going on with me and Adabelle.”

Wayne narrowed his eyes. “Then what was all that with the hand holding and the tail swishing?” he asked loudly.

“She was comforting me,” Trevor replied, shrugging. “We got into a really deep discussion about our pasts, and I guess she thought holding my hand would help or something. I don’t know. We’re definitely not dating. There’s nothing between us.”

The dwarf fell silent for a moment before removing his hat and tossing it onto the ground. “Man, I did not think I misread that situation,” he sighed. “Here I was, all ready to tell you not to hurt her. Had a whole speech ready to go and everything.”

Suddenly, Trevor was a lot more amused about this situation. “If I hurt her, you’ll hurt me?” he asked.

“You’re darn right about that,” Wayne replied, slapping the table before pointing at Trevor. “And that’s still true, dating or not, got me?”

“I got you, Wayne,” Trevor confirmed while holding his hands up.

“Good. Addy’s gone through a lot as it is, even after she got here,” he said, looking back over the shooting range. “Nothing you’ll get out of me, she’ll tell you if she wants to, but she’s a good kid just like Rashie. In different ways of course, but she deserves happiness, not some American from another world coming and going as he pleases.”

Trevor found himself nodding. “So you’re worried about me and her hooking up, and
