Vance
Bren squeezed his eyes shut tightly, grimacing.
I chuckled softly, reaching out a hand and ruffling Bren’s hair. Bren froze.
He opened one eye, whispering, “Why do you want them…?”
I sighed as I sat down beside him.
“…Well…let’s put it this way. So, let’s say that you had a puppy. You had found that puppy, and he was yours, fair and square,” I started.
Bren looked up at me, eyes wide.
I smirked a bit.
At least he’s listening…
“So,” I continued, “Imagine that your brother…” I smiled. “Your older brother took that puppy away from you.”
I glanced at him. “That would make you feel upset, right?”
He nodded slowly, brows furrowed.
“And you would try to get that puppy back, wouldn’t you?”
He nodded again, a little hesitantly.
I smiled and ruffled his hair.
“Those boys–but one in particular–he is like the puppy. And I’m only trying to get him back…”
I gazed at him. “You understand?”

Bren
Bren stared at the man, brows furrowed. He bit his lip, thinking for a minute.
“But…” He started, “He’s not a puppy. He’s a person. You can’t take a person…”
Vance glowered, a sigh of annoyance leaving his throat. He stood, fists clenched.
“Children. Obviously you wouldn’t understand.”
Bren frowned, wrapping his arms around himself. He sniffed, looking around at the room he was in.
He was thankful there was plenty of light, but the absence of windows made things rather dreary…
He let out a huff, leaning back against the wall.
His nose twitched, the dust in the room swirling up to his face and agitating his senses. He sniffled and, bringing his arm to his face, let out a small sneeze.
And the room went black.
It was only for a second, the fire in the sconces disappearing, sending the two into complete darkness, but it was enough to make Bren let out a small cry of alarm, and Vance to turn around with wide eyes, face pale.
“What the-?!” He cried, staring at the now lit sconces.
Bren gasped, breaths ragged. He pulled his knees to his chest, whimpering. It’d been a while since his flame had made an appearance…
He’d been able to keep it in check for a few weeks now…
Why couldn’t it just go away?!
Vance turned and looked at him, eyes narrowed in suspicion, but also curiosity.
“Did…you do that?”
Bren glanced up, and seeing the sudden look of greed in the man’s eyes, felt his blood run cold. He whimpered, unsure of what to say.
He’d been taught not to lie, that honesty was always the way to go.
But if he said yes…
So he kept quiet.
Apparently, this was answer enough.

@godlyfantasy12. Aww, Benji! 😂❤️
Bucky
“That’s so cool! My brother has a wooden leg,” Benji said, then giggled, hanging from Lucien’s forearm.
Bucky saw Steve give him a glance.
Bucky took in and let out a deep breath, facing Benji with a smile that he didn’t entirely feel. “Sorry, not a knight, kiddo. But it is kind of like armor. Made out of the strongest metal on Earth, where we’re from. Some…friends of mine made it.”
The Wakandans counted as friends.
Bucky smiled at Benji again. “But I’m not a knight, sadly. I think it’d be fun.” He winked.

Um…😅 not really. I can try to figure something out…
OH!! Would it be alright…if I added Dylan? Because, at this point, Dylan has began his journey to redemption, and is not under Vance’s sway any longer. AND…well, that’s Vance’s son…
And Dylan could help them get Bren back, hopefully without Vance getting Asher again.
Or…maybe I can come up with some way for us (Ahem, them XD) to get Bren back without any help…maybe a weakness of Vance’s. I’ll be thinking!
And yeah, I’m ready to add Madilyn and Alex, if y’all are! 🙂
#HugRikerSquad

Yw, Light!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@godlyfantasy12. @lightoverdarkness6.Time for Madelene&Alex!!! 😊❤️
Alex
They continued down the hall, walking side by side.
Alex paused. She heard voices.
Her enhanced hearing helped her to even hear whispers.
“Madelene, wait.”
Madelene stopped in her tracks. Turned to face Alex with a raised eyebrow, and, dropping her voice to a whisper, she asked, “What is it…?”
“I’m not sure…but I hear someone…”
A room close by went dark. But a moment later, it lit up again.
Alex’s eyes widened. “Madelene…come on!” And she rushed to the room, stopping just outside the door to look inside.
There was a man, dressed in almost all black, standing, and a boy…knees up to his chest, whimpering on the floor.
“Alex…what’s going on?”
She didn’t know. But she intended to teach this man a lesson if she had to.
Fury bubbling, Alex stepped into the room, ready to use her powers if necessary. “Hey!” She yelled; the man turned to face her, and she glared at him, “Who are you and what are you doing with that little boy!?”
(my girl is fierce. 😂 Btw, y’all, she has various abilities. She has one that’s similar to Peter Parker, but instead of webbing, it’s a sticky, slime-like rope that comes from her hands, but she can use it in almost the same way as Spiderman, she has enhanced hearing, and can “silence” someone, in that she makes a high pitch sound (so high that humans can’t hear it) and the person she uses it against can’t speak AT ALL unless she uses it on them again…😬)
@freedomwriter76 @godlyfantasy12
Ooh yesss Alex!!! Get him!!! Oh wow 😲. Vance better look out XD
And Bren is so precious/sweet ❤❤
Vance
Bren stared at me, brows furrowed. He bit his lip, thinking for a moment.
“But…” He started, “He’s not a puppy. He’s a person. You can’t take a person…”
I let out a sigh of annoyance, glowering at the young boy. I stood back up, fists clenched.
“Children. Obviously you wouldn’t understand.”
Bren frowned, wrapping his arms around himself. He sniffed, looking around at the room.
I walked over to the door, opening it and looking out once more, listening.
Nothing.
I turned back in time to see Bren bringing his arm to his face, letting out a small sneeze. At the same time…
The room went black.
It was only for a moment, the fire in the sconces disappearing, sending us into complete darkness. Bren let out a small cry of alarm, and I turned around with wide eyes, face pale.
“What the-?!” I cried, staring at the now lit sconces.
Bren gasped, pulling his knees to his chest, whimpering.
Hmm…
I turned and looked at him, eyes narrowed in suspicion, but also curiosity.
“Did…did you do that?”
Bren glanced up at me, eyes wide. He didn’t answer.
I took a step closer. “You did, didn’t you. How did you do that?”
He whimpered, scooting as far back against the wall as he could.
“Answer me!” I snarled at the terrified Bren.
“Hey!” A voice shouted out behind me. It was feminine…but in no way quiet or fearful, as I had come to expect from most women that I had encountered.
Then I thought of Iris Brooks, and I smirked a bit.
Well…maybe not all women I’ve encountered.
I turned to face the girl. She was younger than I supposed. Her eyes smoldered with fury, and she demanded,“Who are you and what are you doing with that little boy!?”
I sighed as I turned to face her. “My name is Vance…and this is my little boy, Bren.”
I shot Bren a quick but severe look. He shrunk back even more, his eyes wide in fear.
“I was just having a conversation with him…can a Father not talk with his son without being interrupted?” I asked, irritation tinting my words.

Bren
Son…?
Bren’s eyes widened as he stared at the two girls who had just entered.
This could be his chance to escape…his chance for help, to find his brother…
But…Vance was tricky…if he convinced them he was his father…
He looked up at the man, narrowing his eyes, wanting so badly to yell that he was lying. That he was a horrible man who’d taken him away.
But a glare from him made his throat go dry.
This man was only inches away from him…
It didn’t take a genius to know who would get to Bren first should anything happen.
Bren frowned, looking away. If he said anything…who knew what the man would do.
Vance hadn’t hurt him…
But…that didn’t mean he couldn’t. He frowned, eyes squeezing shut at the memory of the knife so close to his neck earlier. The look of fear on Aaron’s face…
“Isn’t that right Bren? We were just having a discussion.” Vance said smoothly. Bren looked up a bit, and then, slowly nodded.
His heart lurched as he did, eyes stinging.
He was lying…
“Y-Yes…”
He pinched his lips shut, pushing his head into his knees as guilt rushed through him.
His whole life he’d been taught not to lie…
What would Ima think of him if she knew?
