Sorry for the wait

Possession by Sarah McLachlan

Usual apologies

Into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride

Cause nothing stands between us here

And I won't be denied

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I'd

Wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

I'll hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

He's thought about it a million times since they first met.

What it would be like if he just stopped holding back, if he just gave in for one moment.

If he just-

Leo would probably fight him at first because he doesn't know Jacob all that well and because he didn't understand what it was that the older man felt for him just yet. Nineteen is still so young, too young for Leo to really understand what love is. So Jacob would show him. He'd find a way to hold his bionic arm down; show the teen exactly what it is that he felt and why it was so important for them to be together. Logically Jacob knew that Leo would try to resist, but he only needs a few moments, a few moments to show Leo how good it would be together and just how happy Jacob could make him. All he had to do was hold Leo down and show him, kiss away his tears and take his body then he'd know and they should be together forever.

Seeing Leo within arm's reach made things… difficult.

It was hard not to touch but Jay held out pretty well.

"They're right over here." the older man said wrapping his arm around the teen's shoulders to lead him towards one of the shelves near the back of the store.

For the record, this isn't the kind of touching that he wanted to do.

See the kind of touching Jay wanted to do wasn't really appropriate for such a public setting.

And no, his issues with restraint had nothing to do with the teen being so absolutely gorgeous that Jay couldn't think straight. He could admit that Leo Francis Dooley wasn't perfect; he was mostly just kind of average, cute in a submissive pet kind of way but not perfect.

No, Jay can admit that he's had better looking people than Leo.

He's dated better, fucked prettier. Leo is perfect but Leo's looks have very little to do with why he actually wants the teen. What Leo looks like actually has very little to do with why he desires Leo so badly, why he wants to grab the teen and hold him down, fuck him hard and ruin his body so no one else could ever have him or ever really be enough.

It started a couple of years ago, after someone tried to murder Jay one day when he went to work.

Jacob Richards, Jay for short is an inventor and the owner of a multi-billion dollar company called Zodiac industries.

Born a prodigy, Jay graduated from college when he was just twelve years old and made his first successful invention when he was fifteen. Jay has a brilliant mind, unfortunately that brilliant mind only did so much to distract people from his less than pleasant personality.

He was handsome, some might even call beautiful with his long dark brown hair and pitch black eyes, tall lean body and Cupid's bow lips. But he was also self-centered, arrogant, aggressive, controlling, possessive, obsessive and what some might call absolutely cruel. It's really no wonder why so many people hated him and wanted him dead. Business associates, employees, company partners, so called friends and even certain family members were rumored to have some sort of grudge against the genius so most thought it to simply be a matter of time until someone actually tried to do it. And eventually someone did.

A bomb was planted somewhere on the floor just below Jay's office and set off mere moments after he'd stepped into the room. The floor fell out from right under his feet and Jay was trapped underneath the rubble for only God knows how long. It could have been an hour it could have been twelve, either way by the time help came Jay had long lost hope since he didn't see why anyone would ever even think about rescuing him.

After all he's an asshole and he knows it, no one wanted him and no one really cared so why would anyone even try? The world was probably better off without him anyway so he didn't think anyone would come for him.

The only comfort he found in his situation is that he left a clause in his will that would liquidate all his assets and close the company down, therefore dissolving his incredible fortune and making it impossible for any of his next of kin to get to it, including his beloved uncle whom Jay had a sneaking suspicion was behind his unfortunate accident.

So what if thousands of people lost their jobs, pension funds and medical insurance. If those morons can't pull themselves together and take care of themselves then it's their own fault not his. This isn't about them anyway.

He worked too hard and too long, sacrificed too much to let his lazy good for nothing uncle to take it all away from him. If he can't have it, then no one can.

The rage and despair in that greedy bastard's face at losing that fortune was Jay's only comforting thought as he lay there pinned by the building's rubble and coughing up smoke from the flames around him. He didn't think someone would come for him.

But someone did.

Jay was trapped under three large stone pillars and there was smoke and fire all around him, so maybe he was just delirious from the crash or suffering under smoke inhalation but at the same time Jay doesn't care what it was, all he cares about is that boy.

The one that came out of seemingly nowhere and lifted the rubble and stone pillars off of him like they were made from paper Mache. Jay couldn't really make out much at first, but as he forced his eyes to adjust he saw a vision appear in the flames

He's never been religious so saying that the boy looked like an angel wouldn't really be very accurate. But the fire cast a warm glow off of the boy's dark skin and made shadows dance all along his face and the bright smile the boy gave him when he lifted the pillars was so perfect Jay may have gotten sentimental and actually called him an angel. He sighed in relief giving the man a look of concern that he hasn't been given since his parents passed away a few years ago.

His name was Leo, he wore a suit with the symbol for Davenport industries on it and Jay knew that he must be one of those bionic super humans that have been in the news for the past few years.

Leo helped him get out from underneath the rubble, all the while cracking jokes and complaining about how his skin was suffering in those harsh conditions but Jay knew the boy was just trying to distract him from the pains and aches that throbbed all over his own body and Jay was surprisingly enough grateful for it.

Leo got him downstairs to the ambulance and even went with them to the hospital so he could get checked in before he gave the older man another bright grin and disappeared out of sight.

Three years have passed since then and Jay never forgot Leo, quite the opposite really.

He thought about Leo all the time, obsessed over him.

That one boy that came for him and showed him kindness despite the fact that Jay knew he didn't deserve any of it. The one who did his best to distract him from his pain and helped him reach safety.

Even after the bombing people hadn't warmed up to Jay any more than they had before, even more so after he turned into a recluse and basically secluded himself to his office or home. He changed the workings of his companies and factories so they worked with minimal staff. Everything became mechanized with only key sectors left to human managerial staff, which inevitably led to even more hatred against him since minimal staff meant lots and lots of people ended up losing their jobs in order to make space for the machines. He basically kept to himself and made sure that the rest of the world was shut out. He didn't need them anyway.

All he needed was Leo.

Leo Francis Dooley is what Jay would later find out was his full name. As he watched the news more and more reports of those bionic kids saving the world came up and Leo showed up in some of the stories. Jay taped every single news broadcast and kept every newspaper clipping. He barely thought of much else. It was always just Leo.

The boy with that bright smile and those warm eyes, his very own guardian angel.

His Leo.

Video Vulture has the best selection of DVDs and Blu-ray discs in Mission Creek.

Jay didn't really care much for the store but Leo loved it for no other reason that the fact that it was the only place in town that had the foreign horror movies that the teen loved so much. Personally Jay never got what Leo found so interesting about them but at the same time it didn't matter. Leo's young, he'll grow out of this phase eventually and Jay is more than happy to show the teen the right path once he does.

Every Friday Leo would go to the store to pick up a couple of movies for his weekly movie marathon, go back home to their house in Mission Creek which was mostly vacant these days thanks to Davenport moving out and taking Leo's mother and little sister with him. Other times he'd go back to the island lock himself in his room and watch movies all night till he fell asleep. Sometimes his team mates Taylor and Logan would watch with him. Davenport's security system wasn't too hard to bypass. Jay was able to access the surveillance footage whenever he wanted wherever he wanted. While most of Davenport's competitors might have used this as a way to get an edge over the billionaire, Jay could've cared less about Donald Davenport.

"So did you just move into town?" Leo suddenly asked pulling Jacob from his thoughts as he picked a DVD case off one of the shelves, "I haven't seen you around here before and Ollie never mentioned you."

Jacob cleared his throat as he moved a little closer the boy who'd pulled out of his grasp, "Yeah, I moved here a few days ago, started looking for a job. Lucky for me Mr. Waltz was looking for someone to look after the store when I did."

Leo nodded; Jacob caught how the younger man's eyes flickered up at him for a brief moment when he stepped closer. So he walked passed Leo instead, towards the other side of the shelf as he pulled a case from the shelf for a Danish spider horror.

"Where did you live before?"

"I've kind of been drifting around for a while since I moved out of my uncle's house. The last place was New York." Jacob said easily as he went closer to hand Leo the DVD and the boy couldn't help but smile, Jacob had to force himself to focus.

"What about you? Are you still in school or something?"

Leo tensed ever so slightly before letting out a chuckle, "No, I graduated last year. I still live with my parents so…"

"Oh, must be rough staying with your parents for so long." Jacob started as he leaned on the shelf with his hand in his pocket as he watched the boy, "You're not getting a little stir crazy being here in the same town all the time."

Leo shrugged, "It's not so bad around here, things actually get really interesting around Mission Creek sometimes. You just haven't seen any of the cool stuff yet."

"Well, how about you show me?"

Leo's gaze snapped up towards the man, "Huh?"

"I mean, I haven't been here long so I don't really know my way around town. Maybe you could show me." Jacob said trying to sound as casual as possible and Leo shifted uncomfortably in front of him.

"I-I dunno-" The boy gave an awkward cough, "I get busy a lot with-uhm-stuff at home. I'm not sure if I'd have any time and-"

"Leo, is something wrong?" Jacob asked with a frown as he looked back at the teen and Leo blinked up at the older man before he quickly spoke, "No, nothing's wrong. Why would you ask that?"

"You seem uncomfortable." The blonde's frown grew even more, "Is it because of me?"

"No, no it's not you." Leo said quickly as he fiddled with the DVD case in his hands before taking a deep breath, "I just, it's just… nothing." The teen said finally as he plastered a small smile on his face, "I just feel a little off today, it's not you."

Jacob nodded before giving a shrug, "Well I didn't mean that you had to start showing me around today, just that we could maybe hang out sometime. If you wanted."

"Sure, that'd be fun." Leo said as he turned back to the shelf and Jacob had to hold back a grin when he moved closer and the teen didn't immediately try to move away.

It'll take some time before Leo's really comfortable around him; Jacob knows that so he doesn't mind waiting. He's waited this long right. But it was frustrating not being able to touch and hold the way he wanted to do so badly. Kiss and touch, hold him down show Leo exactly how much he really meant to him.

"Jacob."

The blonde could almost hear the teen's voice echoing in his head; see the tears slip from his eyes feel the hands digging into his back; bruises and scars all over his body.

Jacob took a deep breath to try and distract himself.

All he has to do is wait, just wait a little bit longer. All they need is a little time together and after that Leo will get it, he'll understand and Jacob will finally have him.

Jacob is strange.

He makes Leo feel… uncomfortable although the teen isn't entirely sure why. There was nothing overly odd about the man, he seemed friendly enough very attractive but something about him was off. Leo just couldn't figure out what that was.

And the touching…

Now Leo likes a hug about as much as the next guy. Adam, Bree and Chase have made him very much aware of exactly how clingy he could be when he wasn't actually paying attention to his own actions, but even he isn't this affectionate. Especially not with complete and total strangers.

But Jacob hasn't tried to hurt him yet, hasn't said anything mean, actually he was really nice. Even when Marcus was still pretending to be a normal teenager he was never this nice to Leo or nice to him at all really.

So maybe he's just overreacting, maybe Jacob is just really, really… really friendly.

Maybe he's been spending a little too much time on the island around bionic humans to really remember how normal humans behaved.

Just then Leo's cellphone buzzed and he quickly reached around to his pocket to get it and open the message.

Taylor: Just got back from the mission. There's a problem, you need to get back right now

Leo let out a sigh, relieved that he'd have an excuse to get away from Jacob and his strangeness.

"I have to go." Leo said as he closed the message and slipped the phone back in his pocket. Jacob's lips turned down in a frown.

"Is something wrong?"

"Family emergency. My… sister needs me back." Leo said as he quickly set the DVD cases back on the nearest empty place on the shelf and the blonde just nodded.

"O.K. I guess I'll see you later… Oh, wait."

"What?" Leo asked in a pause and Jacob smiled as he pulled out his own cellphone and handed it to the teen. "You said we could hang out right? I should probably get your number."

"I-…" Leo hesitated unsure of what to say before finally taking in a deep breath and reaching out to take the smart phone. "Sure."

He's being paranoid.

Jacob is harmless, everything is fine.

Leo ignored the voice in the back of his head telling him that things weren't fine and that something was very wrong as he took the phone and punched his number in, handing the device back with a smile before he turned around and headed right out the door.

He missed the way Jacob's eyes followed him as he left. The way the older man's lips pulled into a smile and his eyes darkened.

A brightly lit room with a single cot in the center.

Surgical tools to the left and monitors to the right, with a figure lying on the cot covered in a single medical sheet.

The boy has potential; he will do well in his care.

The villain stood over the cot, making sure everything was ready and in place for the procedure to begin.

It will take a few weeks for him to heal, for his bionic infrastructure to recover and begin responding to his brain's impulses. But once he is healed, he'll be stronger and more powerful than he ever was before.

His siblings already have their new chips. They were watching behind the glass overlooking the operation room, waiting for him to join them. They have potential too.

So much potential…

Davenport is a fool.

Locking them up and leaving so much budding talent go to waste, even if they were a bit volatile all they needed was a little discipline… a little control.

The right kind of motivation to keep them in line and then…

Then they would be the perfect soldiers.
