A/N: Hi guys! Suspended was supposed to be a one shot... but Axis1 literally begged me to write more, so here I am. Enjoy!
Logan laid boredly on the couch in the rec room. He was going to die of boredom if nothing exciting happened soon. Elias had told him to stay in the rec room unless he had to go to the bathroom or something. He also said not to wander around... but he was just so curious! He sat up and glanced around, then stood and headed for the door. He heard voices from down the hall and turned back in the opposite direction, but was too late. Kick laughed wildly and ran across the room, tackling him before he reached the couch.
"Hi Kick." He sighed.
"Where were you going?" Kick asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
"To piss," he lied, "did you want to help?"
"No, you pervert!"
"Then get off."
Kick sat back on his heels and looked at him.
"You're mad. Why are ya mad?"
The other Ghosts filed into the room and gave them weird looks. Riley just sat beside them, content to watch. His masters were weird.
"Uh... were we interrupting something?" Keegan asked.
Logan shot him a murderous glare.
"He was escaping!" Kick yelled.
"I was not!" He protested.
"Yes you were! You were gonna wander around base!"
"I already told you I was going to the bathroom. And if you don't get off I might just piss on you." He snapped, using the hand that wasn't pinned under him to shove at the older man above him.
"Ugh, fine. But no wandering!" Kick warned.
He got up and kicked his legs out from under him- efficiently knocking him on his ass- before bolting from the room.
"Owww! I'm gonna get you for that when you get back!" Kick shouted after him.
"You just got knocked on your arse by a 15 year old." Merrick laughed, sitting down in a chair by the tv.
Keegan laughed too. Kick glared at them as he got up.
"Go fuck yourselves."
"Mean!" Keegan said, pouting and tracing an imaginary tear down his face.
Kick flipped him off.
"Stop it, there's children in the room." Merrick said, gesturing to the door behind him.
Kick looked up and a smile found its way onto his face. Logan's eyes widened and he turned tail and ran, Kick on his heels. Merrick and Keegan just chuckled.
"Those two are like 4 year olds."
"It's hard being a parent." Merrick sighed.
Logan ran as fast as he could, another set of footsteps echoing eerily behind him. He had no idea where in the base he was now, but he wasn't gonna stop and find out. Adrenaline rushed through his veins, spurring him onward and urging him to run faster. He skidded around a corner and ran down an unfamiliar hallway, grabbing a random door and yanking it open, then throwing himself inside. He tried unsuccessfully to slow his breathing so he wouldn't be heard. There was a hysterical laugh from behind the door, then the footsteps disappeared. He stayed completely still for several minutes, barely daring to breathe. There were no sounds from outside. He opened the door a tiny bit and peeked out. Nothing. The hallway was clear. He smirked and walked out... only to be tackled. He yelped in surprise and a hand covered his mouth.
"HAHAHA! I win!" Kick squealed excitedly.
"Lemme up." He grunted, the words muffled by Kick's hand.
"But I won, right?"
He nodded in defeat. Kick smiled triumphantly and stood up. Logan jumped up and ran away while he was distracted.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" Kick screeched, giving chase.
Keegan and Merrick were still just chilling in the rec room. They heard footsteps down the hall and looked up, both knowing who it was. Logan bolted into the room and dived over the couch, hiding behind it. Kick ran into the room and stood in the doorway panting, his eyes scanning the room for his young friend.
"I know you're in here..." He said, advancing into the room and looking under things.
Merrick and Keegan were unsuccessfully trying to stop laughing. Finally, Kick got to the couch, leaning over it with a smile when he saw Logan.
"Hey there."
Logan screamed and tried to run, only to have Kick grab him and shove him onto the couch, sitting on his legs. His arms had fallen first and were pinned under him, rendering them useless. He looked desperately to the two older men for help, but they just laughed harder.
"Damn it! How much do you eat?! You're like a fucking cow!" Logan yelled angrily, squirming and trying to pull his feet out from under Kick.
"Do you guys hear anything? I certainly don't. It's so nice and quiet in here, isn't it?" Kick asked his friends, completely ignoring Logan's struggles.
"Yeah... totally." Keegan said with a grin.
"Nope. I like it when it's quiet."
Riley just barked.
After a few minutes of this, Logan got tired and gave up. Elias walked in, coffee in hand, and gave Kick a look when he saw what he was doing.
"Why are you sitting on my son?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well you see sir, it's a very funny story. He was wandering around base so now-"
"I was n-"
Kick reached over and covered his mouth.
"Shhh! You're disrupting story time." He whispered, putting a finger to his mouth and gesturing for silence.
Logan glared at him. He was gonna kill him when he got up.
"So anyways he was wandering, so now he has to sit here."
Elias took a sip of his coffee and gave him a look that said, 'oh really?'
"Are you sure? Because I happened to see a certain soldier who looked just like you chasing him around base. Am I mistaken, or was that you?" He asked, waiting patiently for an answer.
He didn't get one. He received a shout instead as Logan bit Kick's hand. Kick leapt from the couch, holding the throbbing limb as a small trickle of blood ran from the set of teeth marks indented in it. Logan jumped on him and put him in a chokehold, dragging him backwards from the room with an evil smile. They watched silently from their positions.
"Well that was interesting..."
