A Friend in Need

With things going to plan, I wasn’t sure what I had to do. But we had to do more and put an end to all of this.

I was in my room, watching a movie, which I hadn’t done much since I arrived back on Earth. It was different being here versus on Mount Olympus. I could watch any movie I wanted there from the comfort of my own living room. Not the case here.

As I sat on the couch thinking of Felicity and Athena, hoping they were safe, my phone rang. On it was a number that I didn’t recognize, but I answered anyway.

“Hello,” I said.

“Thank god, you answered,” a familiar voice said.

“Zeke, what’s wrong?”

The man sounded scared and there were strange sounds in the background. “I don’t know how,” Zeke said. “But some people found me and know I’m a Paragon. Trying to take me in. Fuck.”

“Get him.” I heard in the background. That made my skin crawl.

“Where are you?”

The next thing I heard was clangs and more screams. “Zeke!”

Nothing, the line went dead. I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. The anti-Paragon people had him, and they would be taking him to a camp. I couldn’t allow that to happen. Zeke was a good man and helped me out more than once since I’d arrived on Earth.

I rushed to the front part of the hideout; thankfully Lola and Fleur were there, and McGarrett too.

Fleur looked at me. “What’s wrong?”

“Zeke called,” I said. “Some anti-Paragon people found him and it sounded like they got him.”

Everyone’s faces went ghost-white in horror. “We can’t let them take him,” Fleur said.

“Agreed.” I was on edge and ready for a fight. These people were going after any and all Paragons. Zeke had never hurt a person, and his powers weren’t the type to cause harm. Being a human lie detector wasn’t going to hurt people. Not in the way that Fenrir was talking about.

McGarrett gritted his teeth. “I’ll go back to my precinct and see what I can find out.”

“Thank you.”

Lola went to work on her computer system. Her long delicate fingers typed away.

It felt like a lifetime passed with nothing happening. The longer we took to react the more likely we would lose Zeke. I couldn’t allow that to happen.

Finally, Lola found the location of the call that Zeke made to me. Fleur and I rushed out of the hideout, and she started to the car.

“No time,” I said. Instead, I picked her up in my arms, and leaped away. I could move through the city much faster than any car could.

It didn’t take me too long to arrive at the destination. Zeke was gone. Setting Fleur down, she looked even more white. “You okay?”

She nodded. “Not used to traveling like that. Just takes some getting used to.”

I smiled. I forget that some people can’t handle moving at the speeds a God can. “Sorry.”

She waved me off, and we went to work. The area was between his apartment and his pawnshop.
