Chapter 13

There was no hiding his wound when Lucas met up with the others. Hannah wasn’t pleased at all. Nor was Michelle. She insisted that if there were a next time, he would not be going anywhere without her.

Lucas wanted to tell her that he was a big boy, that he could look after himself. But the wound on his chest, though it wasn’t bleeding thanks to the green crystal absorbed within him, it was still a gaping wound. One that had hurt him much more than he’d realised at the time.

As he sat in the car, Hannah taking the wheel, Lucas briefly fell asleep, only to be woken by Anika, who slapped him across the face.

“The fuck, man?” he muttered.

“Don’t you die on me!” came her response.

“I’m not dying… I’m just tired.”

“That’s how they all feel. Tired. And then they die.”

Lucas glared at her.

But it did no good.

Anika was determined to not let him sleep. Thankfully, the journey home wasn’t a long one, and Lucas managed to stay awake, preventing Anika the opportunity to slap him once more.

When they pulled up in front of the house, Lucas was feeling even more exhausted. The girls carried him out of the car and into the living room, where they laid him on the sofa, and crowded around him, joined by Jocelyn and Lucy.

Lucas thought he saw a smile on Jocelyn’s face. The bitch was undoubtedly pleased at what she saw.

Under Michelle’s instructions, Lucy dashed off to the kitchen to bring him food whilst Hannah sat on the floor beside him and cut off his shirt before cleaning the wound with wet tissue.

“I’m not hungry,” Lucas said.

“You need to eat. Your body needs food to recover,” Michelle overruled him.

Despite his further protestations, food was brought, and Lucas was forced to eat. After the first few bites of warm bread dipped in beef stew, Lucas began to feel better. His appetite grew, and he finished the food quickly. In the meantime, Hannah had completed bandaging his chest.

Lucas was happy to stay on the sofa and get some shut eye. But Michelle refused. Being a Super, she picked him up with ease and carried him up the stairs to his bedroom, the one he had promised to let Lucy have.

She placed him on his bed and closed the door behind. She sat on the bed and stared at him.

“What?” Lucas asked.

“What really happened in the basement?”

“I already told you. I got attacked by a Super.”

“Why was the Super there?”

Lucas didn’t know why he’d not told the truth to begin with. Or at least, why he had withheld some of the truth. His long coat was downstairs. Contained in it were the serums he had brought back from Vengeance’s lab, before destroying the rest.

“I need my coat,” he said.

“Not here you don’t,” Michelle replied. “No ones going to shoot you.”

“I need it,” he repeated.

Michelle stared at him with curiosity. “The basement was Vengeance’s lab. That’s where he made the serum.”

Lucas’s eyes narrowed. “How did you figure that out?”

“I’m more than just a pretty face,” she told him, smiling.
