Chapter 11- Mansion Sitting, Big Time Rush Style:
Later that night after his wonderful birthday party, Frankie was having a nightmare. He was tossing and turning and sparks were coming out of his body, he was gasping for air as it was hard for him to breathe.
Frankie's dreamscape:
Frankie was standing in what looked like a peaceful city with people acting like there was nothing wrong. They were happy and they seemed at peace. He smiled at what he saw and started to walk around not knowing where he was going, people would wave at him and he would wave back. He came across a what appeared to be abandoned building and he decided to look inside. When he walked in he noticed a lab of some sorts and a bunch of workers, his eyes fell upon a man who appeared to be in his 40's. He looked like an older version of him and was in a white lab coat with a pair of gloves.
Frankie looked at him with interest 'He looks like…me' he thought and looked over to a woman who appeared to be a female version of him, dressed like the man holding a baby that also looked like him.
Frankie sweat-dropped 'Why does everyone look like me' and was startled by an explosion and a man with white robes walked in causing Frankie to stare at him thoughtfully 'He looks like that guy from the vision I had a couple of weeks ago, Logan said it was some sort of flashback I suffered from but I don't remember anything involving him' his thoughts were cut short when the man spoke
"This device can destroy a whole city if powered up enough, but since you don't believe me let's see" and when the man in the lab coat yelled out
"NOOOOO" Frankie tried to shoot a lightning bolt, but nothing came out
'WHAT THE HELL' he thought shockingly and then an explosion illuminated him and everyone else.
Frankie's eyes widened with what he saw next; everything from his vision before was replaying again the death, the destruction and once again the man in the white robe with the device was laughing evilly causing Frankie to awaken.
Exit Frankie's dreamscape:
"NOOOOOO" Frankie screamed at such a high tone that he was sure people in Minnesota could hear him and not more than 3 seconds after he screamed his family came rushing in.
Kendall spoke first "Frankie what happened" he asked in his 'big brother tone', even though Frankie was older than him he still felt like he needed to be a big brother to him.
Frankie just sat there quietly with sweat running down his face "I don't know what happened, I had some sort of nightmare".
Logan moved closer to him "What of" he asked him in a soft tone putting a hand on his shoulder, and Frankie flinched a little from the contact but no one noticed "Was it about…HIM".
Frankie shook his head "I haven't seen or heard from that bastard since… since I went crazy over what happened to Kendall" he replied and Logan nodded moving his hand away.
James sat next to him "You don't have to tell us if you're not ready".
His adoptive mother Mrs. Knight sat on his other side "James is right honey, if it's too painful than you don't have to tell us anything".
Frankie moved his head up "No…I have to talk about it, after what happened with HIM I learned holding things in is not healthy to do and the faster you talk about it the less painful it can become".
Katie looked at her big brother with worry and moved to sit by her mom "Were here for you Frank" she said and Carlos, Kendall and Logan went to sit by James
"She's right man, you're not alone anymore" Carlos told his best friend with a smile.
Frankie smiled back "Thanks everyone" he said and proceeded to tell them about his nightmare and at then end Logan had his thinking face on
"It appears to be a extended version of the vision you had a couple of weeks ago" and Frankie nodded
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing" and he saw the look on his 'moms' face.
"Mom…what is it" Kendall asked worriedly, his mom only got that look when something was wrong.
Mrs. Knight looked at everyone "Listen all of you, you can not repeat what you are about to hear, it would cause a lot of problems o.k." and when they nodded she continued "Frankie sweetie, what you saw was the New York Explosion" and everyone's eyes widened.
Frankie recovered first "But…that can't be…I mean I would only be 2 months old and even if I was there, there would be no way I could survive that" and when everyone grew grim expressions he was confused "What"?
Logan looked at him in the eyes "It explains how you could have gotten your powers".
Frankie grew a frown "No, I have my powers because I'm a conduit or whatever the hell that is remember". After his raid on the first hideout, he informed them about his discovery of the conduit gene and the note.
Kendall stared at his brother "In the note it said that blast shards were scattered after detonation and only a conduit of extreme power could use them, that means you. Also it said that the Snake leader Kessler has been making your life miserable and wants you dead because it's 'been too long'. Maybe it's referring to you surviving the blast and gaining powers" he explained to him.
Frankie's frown was still present "Then why did he let me live" he asked and they shrugged
"I don't know, but also in the note this Jaden Lopez said you were a powerful conduit, maybe the Lightning Flash was what you used to escape" Kendall said. The Lightning Flash was one of Frankie's more draining moves, so it was impressive that he could have possibly used it when he first discovered his powers.
Frankie found another problem "But in the file it had EVERYTHING about me, my powers, you guys and my life. So even if I did escape somehow, he found me anyway".
Mrs. Knight sighed "Listen it's late at night and you guys need to go to the studio tomorrow and you need your sleep" the guys were disappointed that they couldn't help Frankie anymore but they were tired.
After bidding Frankie goodnight, he laid back on the bed staring at the ceiling deep in thought 'Just who are you Kessler' he kept replaying in his head until sleep consumed him.
Rocque Records (Next Day):
The guys were standing in front of Gustavo who was arguing with Kelly "What do you mean you didn't find a mansion sitter" he yelled for the 4th time and Kelly was getting tired of it
"You said you would do it".
"No I did not" he yelled back and she pulled out her phone and played a recording of him saying that he would find someone to watch his mansion.
Gustavo's expression fell and Kelly faced the boys "I record everything now" she told them with a grin and they grinned back.
Gustavo was now mad "We have to leave in 20 minutes, who we can find in that time to watch my mansion" he asked panicked and a light blinded him and when he looked over he saw a giant arrow of electricity pointing to Frankie and the guys.
Gustavo had a neutral face "Cute" he said in a sarcastic tone "and while I trust Frankie, I don't trust any of you other dogs" and their jaws dropped.
"What Why" James asked and Gustavo leaned a little bit
"You and the others do crazy things and I don't want to risk you guys destroying anything in my mansion". Kendall had an idea and pulled James, Carlos and Logan over into a huddle and started to whisper, leaving Frankie puzzled because they would always tell him everything.
After a few seconds, they looked back "What if we got another responsible person to watch us" Kendall asked and Gustavo grew confused
"Like who" and not even a second later James responded
"How about our friend Jo" and at the mention of her name, Frankie blushed 10 shades of red.
Gustavo thought over for a second and responded "I like her she seems to be the responsible type, fine if she goes with you guys then the answer is yes" he said facing Frankie next "Consider this my birthday present to you" Frankie nodded, Gustavo and Kelly had missed his party yesterday and knew that they felt bad about it. Gustavo looked at his watch "We got to leave now and…I'm putting my trust in you guys" and with that he left.
The guys were all grinning; this was one step closer to getting Frankie and Jo together. They noticed how after Jo had kissed him at his party that Frankie had been looking at her with love and affection and they knew Jo felt the same for him, Frankie was even wearing the sling pack she had gotten him.
Frankie looked at them with one of his neutral faces "You guys are setting me up for something" he said. Frankie wasn't stupid, he was good at reading people and he could tell by their body language that they had something planned.
Kendall just shook his head trying to hide his smile, and failing miserably at that "No we're not" he said and Frankie sighed deciding to not question him further, turned and walked away leaving his friends alone.
Carlos started to smile "So what's the plan for tonight" he asked and Kendall faced his fellow friends
"Well, we will keep Frankie and Jo together at all times because I'm pretty sure they want to spend more time together after what had happened at the party" Kendall said and they nodded "Besides, this just might push them together" he added that last part with a smile on his face and they left to follow Frankie.
Gustavo's Mansion:
After informing Jo about the mansion sitting job, the group had arrived at Gustavo's mansion and they were impressed with how it looked. Carlos was first to answer "Wow, this is huge" and everyone nodded in agreement "Well let's go" and everyone went inside.
The inside was classy and fancy and before the guys could go crazy, Jo stepped in front of them "O.K, Gustavo texted me a few rules for you guys. 1st one being- Don't touch anything, 2nd one- Don't break anything and finally don't damage anything" she read and they sweat-dropped wasn't that the same rule 3 times.
Frankie's phone beeped and he checked to see he has a text and when he read it he pouted 'Don't fry anything'. He closed his phone; did Gustavo really think he had no control of his powers at all? The guys all caught glimpse of the text and were holding in their breath to try and not to laugh. Frankie glared at them and they calmed down,
"Alright" Kendall started "I think the first thing to do is to organize sleeping arrangements and from what Gustavo told us there are 3 bedrooms" he said holding up 3 fingers at the end.
James decided to have a little fun "It's gonna be me and Kendall, Carlos and Logan and Frankie and Jo" and the guys were trying to not burst out laughing when they saw the look on their faces.
Frankie and Jo were staring at each other with blushes on their face "Well…I guess I could stay with Frankie if that's okay with him" Jo said nervously looking away from Frankie and he was scratching the back of his head nervously
"Yeah…it's okay I don't mind" he replied calmly but inside his head, he was fuming 'Ohhh, when they wake up their going to find a couple of grenades attached to their ass' he thought with a evil chuckle at the end. They missed the look of pure evil on his face as they placed the bags down
"Well, let's see what Casa Gustavo has to offer before we head up to our rooms" Kendall stated and they agreed and walked around the mansion. They passed by a media room, a pool (causing Frankie to flinch a little), a music room, a huge dining room and many more stuff and the outside was fantastic. It was a large plain of grass with a section that had a basketball hoop and a pond with ducks and other little water critters.
When they saw this they were absolutely astonished "Wow, this place is fantastic" Jo exclaimed and they all nodded in agreement.
Kendall had an idea "Well, let's put our stuff in the bedrooms and then we can all do some activities" he said the last part with a grin.
Frankie stopped him "Whoa Kendall, Gustavo said to not touch anything" he said waving his arms a little and they pouted
"We promise to clean up" they said in unison causing Frankie to laugh a little
"Please, the only thing you guys can clean is your dinner plate" he told them causing Jo to giggle a little.
They got their knees "Please Please" they repeated over and over until Frankie couldn't take it anymore
"Fine, but just don't break anything" he said with a sigh knowing something is gonna happen. The guys cheered and picked up the bags running off leaving Frankie and Jo alone.
"Well, I'll take your bag" he said picking it up with his left hand and holding his with his right, and Jo smiled at him
"Thank you" she said before they left to their room.
When they got there they noticed how big the room was, it had a queen sized bed big enough for 2, a dresser, a bathroom, a closet and a bunch of other stuff.
Frankie placed the bags down and sat on the bed "I got a feeling something is going to break and I'm gonna have to fix it" he said with a sigh and Jo sat next to him
"I'm pretty sure they won't break anything, they gave you their word and I think you should trust them" she told him reassuringly causing him to sigh again
"Last time they said they wouldn't break anything, I had to buy a new T.V" he said with a groan and Jo was curious
"What happened?"
"Long story short- Never play hockey in a small bedroom or else something is going to break".
Jo punched his arm playfully "Well I think they learned after that and I'm pretty sure they don't want to get Gustavo mad" she said and Frankie laughed
"When is Gustavo never mad" he asked and the two shared a laugh together before standing up.
Frankie held his hand out to help her up and Jo smiled and accepted "Well, what do you want to do first" he asked and she thought it through
"Well…we can go swimming or maybe you want to play some basketball".
Frankie didn't need to think twice "How about some basketball first and then we can go swimming" he told her with a smile although on the inside he was terrified 'DAMN' he kept repeating to himself.
Jo smiled "Sounds like a plan" and with that they left to play some basketball.
Later:
After playing a little basketball, Jo left to change into her bikini while Frankie was being scolded by the guys
"ARE YOU CRAZY" Kendall shouted for the 10th time and Frankie yelled back
"I panicked okay" he said and punched his head "Damn I'm an idiot" he scolded himself.
Logan looked at him "You have to think of something Frankie or else your going to have to tell her your secret" he said seriously and Frankie jumped up in shock
"WHAT, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL THE ONE GIRL I LIKE THAT I'M A SUPER-POWERED FREAK" he yelled covering his arm in electricity for emphasis.
Suddenly Logan had an idea "How do you take showers without frying" he asked and Frankie shrugged
"I just store the electricity somewhere ELSE" he said the last part in realization at where Logan was going with this.
"Exactly, just store them in those batteries you carry and you should be good to go" Logan said and when Frankie did just that he was wobbling a little
"Man I hate not having any power, makes me feel weak" he said and when they went to the pool, (Frankie was wearing swim trunks underneath his pants) Frankie took a deep breath and jumped in and was surprised when no pain came before him "Man we should have thought of this a long time ago" he said with a grin and was moving around in the pool for the first time ever and was starting to lose vision "Damn it's happening again" he told them weakly "My vision's starting to blur" he said and they signaled him to get out and when he did they threw a battery at him which he caught "Dude" he said in an angry tone but the guys just pointed to the battery
"Experiment a little, absorb until you get your vision back but try not to absorb to much since you'll fry yourself because you're wet" Logan explained and he nodded and did absorb a little. When he was good to go the guys left his sling pack a couple feet away and Frankie was left alone to wait for Jo.
When he heard footsteps he turned to see Jo wearing a 2 piece blue bikini and he blushed a little "You look beautiful" he said and she blushed because his muscles were clearly visible
"You look handsome yourself" she said in return and joined him in the pool and swam next to him.
She decided to tell him something that has been bothering her for a while "Frankie…I'm scared about Danny" she said and Frankie looked at her panicked
"Why what happened, did he do something to you" he asked and she shook her head
"No, but when he tried to kill you a couple weeks ago I noticed he was hurting a little when I asked him for help and he looked like he always did". Frankie was confused, so Jo filled him in on what she and Camille told the guys about Danny when he was unconscious a couple weeks back.
At the end, Frankie actually felt a little pity for Danny "Wow, he knows the same pain I do" and quickly realized his mistake and covered his mouth but Jo had heard him
"What pain" she asked concerned and he took a deep breath and unconsciously held her hand
"Well, I was adopted by the Knights and before then I never knew my parents. I think they abandoned me and the orphanage was shut down forcing me to live on the streets for years and every night I would call for Mommy and Daddy to come find me…but they never did" he said crying a little "Why did they abandon me for Jo, did they hate me, did they think I was a freak, why" he asked now sobbing for the 1st time in years. Jo was shocked at she had heard, Frankie was alone for a long time and knew what kind of pain Danny was in.
Deciding to comfort the love of her life, she pulled him into a hug and started to kiss his face until he finally stopped crying after 10 minutes. Frankie sniffed and Jo released him and grabbed his hand again "It'll be okay Frankie, you have people who love and care for you now Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Katie, Mrs. Knight and me" she said kissing his cheek at the end.
Frankie blushed a little before hugging her "Thanks Jo" and she returned the hug. Frankie looked at the sky and noticed it was getting dark "Well, I guess it's time to get out" he said and him and Jo left the pool and Frankie couldn't help but smile 'Thank you Jo, you made me feel happy again and I promise to help and protect you and to get the old Danny back' he thought determined and Jo had her own thoughts
'He's suffered so much in his life and yet he puts me and everybody else before himself. Frankie my love, I will never leave you alone again' she also thought determined and grabbed his hand and they blushed at contact but continued walking.
When they changed into their PJ's they realized a problem "You can take the bed Jo, I'll sleep on the floor" Frankie said and was moving to go on the floor before Jo grabbed his hand and looked at him sweetly
"Please stay with me. I sometimes have nightmares and normally my parents would comfort me, but since their not here I need you" she told him and he smiled and nodded at her
"Okay" he said and she hugged him before they each took their own side of the bed "Goodnight Jo" Frankie said and Jo pecked him on the lips
"Goodnight Frankie" she said and the 2 of them were blushing up a storm and within a few minutes, Jo fell asleep but Frankie was still awake
'That's twice she kissed me on the lips and both times it felt…nice. Maybe I'll take a chance and ask her out but not now, I have other matters to handle' he thought and fell asleep soon after.
Next Morning:
The groups of 6 were standing with their bags waiting for Gustavo to come back and true to their word the mansion was still in one piece. The guys were grinning at their accomplishment, they had avoided Frankie and Jo almost all day yesterday to push them together and when they heard from Frankie about what happened, they were relieved he had let some of his bottled up emotions out but also happy that him and Jo were getting closer.
When they saw the door open and Gustavo walk in he inspected and was shocked when nothing was damaged "Wow I must say I'm impressed, you managed to keep this place in one piece and not in a million like I was inspecting" he said seriously and they nodded.
"Let's just say it was an amazing day" Frankie said and looked at Jo a little bit before looking back at Gustavo.
He nodded at them "I appreciate this guys, but tomorrow it's time to work" he told them and they nodded before leaving and Gustavo went to his music room to prepare for tomorrow.
