"Sir what are we going to do? Should we wait until we know for sure or should we kill them now?" A young Alpha asks turning to Francis.

He inhales slowly looking around at the mass of faces before him; he had tried for two years to get Gilbert to take him as his Omega. But the stubborn man never wavered and when he threatened every Omega in the factory he thought he had finally won. Now not only had Gilbert taken a mate the little bastard was pregnant.

Francis walks among his faithful followers that both feared and loved him, "I should be leader shouldn't I?" They all nod, "But they wouldn't follow will they?"

"We'll make them follow Sir."

With a wicked smile plastered on his face, Francis lets out a cynical laugh, "Oh yes we will but…we have to make sure of this." He turns to his old revolver and spins the cylinder, "Burn the whole fucking place down."


Gilbert crawls into bed watching his mate asleep in the soft moon light; he always seems to look like such an angel with his halo of shinning blonde hair and serene face. "My little blue bird." He coos lying next to his Omega gently touching the still small but growing bump. "It wouldn't be long and we'll have a nice little nest and a beautiful chick on our hands."

"Our little heroine."

Gilbert looks up at sleepy blue eyes, "Yeah, Alfred our little chick will be an awesome heroine."

Alfred smiles before sitting up alarmed, "Gil do you smell that?"

The Alpha is up and to the door in a flash as he rips open the door he's met with dark smoke and raising flames, "Fuck! Alfred we have to go, Now!"

Alfred's only able to pull up his jeans over his white t-shirt and jacket before racing out the door behind his mate, "Gil I have to find Mattie."

"Alfred we'll find him later." Gil commands but his Omega stands firm, "Fine but damn it be careful." He presses his lips to his mates as they race away from each other; Gil bolting towards the large southern front doors of the factory with Alfred darting towards the northern wall and hopefully his twin.

The lead Omega jumps down the stairs as he hears screaming all around him. He turns to see Peter running towards him, "I can't find Mama, Alfred!" The small crying boy flies into the older man's arms, "We…we have to find him and Papa."

"We will, but first…ah shit." His eyes dart around the smoke and flames as others race past, he spots Elizaveta and races after her with Peter in his arms, "Will find them Dude. Trust me."


The flames are licking at his feet as Matthew scrambles down the catwalk and forces open a small door, "Lili! LILI!" He spots moment in the corner of the smoke filled room, "Lili?"

"Matthew!" The young woman cries out in terror, "I can't find Vash…oh God, Matthew we're going to die." She sobs holding tight to the taller Alpha.

He takes her by her shoulder, "No we're not. You hear me? I'll never let that happen." And before she can answer back he scoops the petite woman in his arms and races back out the door running head long into Arthur. "Arthur!?"

His emerald eyes are wide with fear, "Matthew?!"

"We have to get out of here!" Suddenly although his mind is racing it slaps him hard, "Where's Alfred, Arthur where is Alfred?"

"I don't fucking know." Quickly Arthur motions the third in command to follow him, "If we follow the Northern wall we'll make it to the back exit!"

"But we have to find him!" Matthew stops short still holding Lili tight against his chest, "I can't just leave him here to die."

Now Arthur stops looking around in the hazy blackness, "Fuck…well we can't just stand here and burn to death. If we make it to the exit we can come back and find him!" The second in command grabs Matthews hand and locks eyes with the younger man, "We are Alphas Matthew and we have to get as many people out as we can, starting with Lili."

He thinks it over for a second as Lili starts to cough and wheeze in his arms, "Lead the way."


"Come on you motherfucking door!" Alfred yells slamming his shoulder against the door as a small group of female Omegas look on in panic. "God Damn it!" He backs up some and slams against it again with little luck.

"Alfred, be careful!"

"I know Eliza. God where is Matthew!"

Matthew and Arthur suddenly appear by his side, "Right here."

The lead Omega gives his twin a smile, "Bout time Bro." The three men back up slightly before all slamming into the door. It finally gives and all three go flying out into the cool night air, "Hurry everyone out!"

All four of the women and Peter race out to safety just as they hear gunshots and loud screaming from the southern entrance, "The fucking hell?" Arthur turns in time to see Alfred race into the darkened woods.

"Gil…Gil…GIL!" Alfred looks around in panic as the screams and shots grow louder, "Gil!" He hears rustling next to him and he jumps back in fear.

The bloody Alpha stumbles out into the open holding his left shoulder, "Hey blue bird." He manages to smirk as he falls to the ground racked in pain.

Alfred's by his side in an instant, "Oh God, Gil hold on. I'll get…I'll get you help." His voice cracks as a lump grows in his throat.

"No, no don't…please Alfred." Gil gently reaches up and wipes away a tear on him mate's cheek, "I'm finally paying for my sins…and I'm ready."

Alfred takes Gil's hand, "No you're not! What about our baby? What about us?" He's trembling in anger and guilt for leaving his Alpha, "If I didn't leave you…"

"Francis would have shot you too." Gilbert watches Alfred's eyes grow wide with anger, "Alfred you have to leave me."

"No, I'll fucking kill him! That rat bastard! I'll fucking kill him!" Hot tears are streaming down his face, "I'll kill him and…and carry you-"

Gilbert presses his forehead to his mate's now letting his bloody tears fall, "No, listen to me! I am your Alpha and I'm telling you to leave me and run."

"No…a hero doesn't leave his leader behind."

It hurts to laugh but Gil lets out a deep one for his innocent Omega, "And what about our heroine?" He inhales slowly, "Francis will kill her without a second thought." Gil gently touches his unborn child, "You have to leave me…not for me but for her." He swears he can feel movement below his hand and his eyes grow wide.

"See? You can't leave her…leave us." Alfred takes his Alpha's hand and presses harder, "She needs her father."

Gil can hear shouting getting closer and he knows exactly whose coming, "Alfred…I'm going to make you a promise." He can tell he's running out of time.

"What?"

The Alpha leans down and kisses the bump, "The next time you see me…I'll tell you why I call you blue bird."

Alfred looks up through blurry eyes towards the star soaked sky, "You p-promise?

Again he forces out a laugh, "It wouldn't be too awesome of me to lie." He kisses Alfred one last time, "Now run blue bird and don't look back."

Alfred stands and turns to see Arthur watching. They lock eyes before the emerald eyed Alpha grabs Alfred by the hand and pulls him away from the impending danger. Alfred looks back only once, "I…love you my Alpha…"

Gil looks up at the sea of stars just as Francis emerges from the woods revolver in hand, "I know my awesome Omega."

The two men reach the rest of their small group as a single shot echoes in the now eerie silence. Alfred lets one last tear fall as he takes Peter by the shoulder, "I'm sorry Peter but we have to go."

Peter looks down trying to force the tears away, "I don't want to Alfie."

He picks him up in his arms, "I know Peter…but sometimes a hero has to do things they don't want to and I promise we'll find them all someday."

"You promise?" Peter asks laying his head on Alfred's strong shoulder looking back at the raging flames of what once was his home and the small group of crying Omegas following.

Alfred hugs him tightly, "A hero never breaks a promise…"
