It was getting late. Hudson stayed with his parents for a while. But they made Lightning head back to his own room. He didn't want to. But he needed rest to. Lightning didn't fight it. He was to tired to anymore. Hudson stayed until his dad fell asleep. Which wasn't to long. He sighed. Watching him.. He was probably the worlds worst son right now... Jessica knocked on the door and peeked in.. "Hey.." She greeted softly. Hudson glanced at her. "Hey..". She half smiled and walked up to Hud. "My parents are headed home for the night..You gonna gonna go home alone?" Hudson sighed answering. "I guess?.. I don't know what to do?.. I feel lost right now Jess..". Jessica came up and messed with his hair. It got a bit of a smile out of him. Hudson got up and stretched a bit. "Would be nice to go shower.." he mentioned. Jessica's eyes widened and agreed saying "Yeah really! Think you should." Hudson chuckled a bit as she held her nose for a moment. Jessica walked him out. He stopped and grabbed out his phone. He forgot he didn't have a car. The Jeep was destroyed in the fire in the shop. Along with the mustang. Jessica spoke up, "I have my car here. I'll take you home?" Hudson smiled and nodded. "That would be great..". She smiled.
Jess drove Hudson up the pass to the house. It was silent. Felt different without his parents there. "I'll walk you in.." she said. Hud smiled. And she did. They walked inside. Hudson offered her a drink. It was so quiet.. Jessica nodded. Hudson grabbed her some water. "Well I'm gonna shower.. it's been a really long day..". Jessica sighed and hugged him.. it felt good. Jessica spoke up "Mind if I kinda stick around a bit.. Itd be nice to have some company that's not actually talking about my sister right now..". Hudson smiled "Yeah. Um.. make yourself at home. I'm still gonna head up and shower. But I'll be back down." Jessica nodded and Hudson went up the stairs.
Jessica went to the living room. Watched a bit of tv. Hudson came back down before long. His hair damp.
She couldn't help but love him. Even after all this. He sat beside her on the couch. "What you watching?" He asked. Jessica answered "Some funny videos of people messing things up. It's really funny." Hudson nodded. They both watched a few things. They laughed softly a bit. It felt good to laugh. There was so much stuff going on. Jessica leaned over onto Hudson. His eyes widened.. how could someone so perfect even be so nice around him. After everything?.. he wrapped his arm around her. It was nice to be home.. they sat and laughed for a while. Watching some tv.
Cruz walked into the kitchen where Storm was getting a drink "Jessica is staying over with Hudson for a bit." Storm rolled his eyes and replied "That kid is trouble.. I don't like it..". Cruz mentioned "Well that kid has our daughter smitten." Storm sighed and said "I hope Hudson gets things straightened out.. I wouldn't care so much if he would stop getting into so much crap?" Cruz sighed. "Hey do you hear that?" Cruz asked. Hey both went silent. It sounded like smashing a mailbox? Maybe? Crushing cans? Smash... smash.. smash.. they both went over to the front door and opened it. "HEY!" Storm yelled. It was some guy beating the shit out of their SUV with a bat! Storm marched over angerly. "What do you think your doing!?" He got close. The man took a swing at Storm. Storm ducked down quick "WOAH!" He yelped. The guy took another swing at him Storm jumped back! "What the hell!?" He yelled. He fell on his backside on the ground. Cruz screamed for him! The man hit hard toward Storm. But Storm rolled out the way and stood back up against the suv. The man swung again. Hitting the window and braking glass everywhere. Storm pushed the guy over running toward him and knocking them both to the ground! Storm hit the guy hard in the face. Then the man used the bat and shoved Storm off him. Cruz ran out and to the side front of the garage toward the gardening hose!
Storm struggled as the man sat on top of him using the bat trying to choke him. Storm didn't know if he could keep the bat off his throat..Suddenly! Water spewed harshly at the man. Soaking both Storm and this guy. The man fell off the side of Storm dropping the bat and trying to block the drowning of water in his face! Storm looked over at Cruz with the hose! Storm stood up slipping in mud for a moment. Then got up with the bat. He waved at Cruz to stop. She did. Storm learned over to the man. The man was wiping water from his face. Storm hit the ground hard by the man and yelled "Who are you!" The man began to stand up but Storm used his foot and kicked him back down. "Who are you!" Storm yelled again. The man stared up at Storm. Glaring. Storm hit his own suv hard. It made the guy jump a little with fear. The man yelled "No one!" Storm threw the bat down and lifted the man up by his shirt and slammed him against the suv. "Than no one will miss you!" Storm yelled rearing his arm back! The guy reached on his pocket and grabbed out a knife flipping it open with a button. Storms eyes widened as the guy swung his arm aiming at Storms side. Storm let go and jumped back! The man picked the bat back up. Cruz ran around he suv. Storm was just trying not to get hit or stabbed by this guy! Storm tripped over a stupid rock into the garden path. Falling on his back. The man hit the ground near Storms head and dropped the bat. then sat on top of Storm and reared back with the knife. Storm grabbed the mans hands with the knife with both his hands. The two pushed and pulled each other. Storm was just trying not to get stabbed! Storm glanced at the bat.. Cruz ran around to them and hit the man with the tire iron on the shoulder. The man fell to the ground off of Storm. Storm scooted away and yelled "Get out of here!" The man stood back up and grabbed the bat. He lost the knife when he fell. Storm turned around just as the man swung the bat! Storm felt the bat hit his hip hard. Storm fell to his knees.. the man lifted the bat straight over his head Storms eyes widened with fear.. Cruz grabbed one he stones from the yard and hit the guy over the head.. the man staggard for a moment.. Then fell to his side. Dropping the bat as he went down. Cruz dropped the rock and gasped. Afraid she just killed someone!
Storm stood up in some pain and grabbed his wife. "YOU OKAY?" He asked out of breath. Cruz nodded. Her eyes small and scared. Storm ordered her to go inside. "GO. get in the house..". He said with a few breaths. He patted the man down as Cruz went inside. Storm pulled out a wallet. Nothing but a bunch of car dealer cards?.. same name. Then it hit him.. this was the guy who pulled the Porsche in the shop..and now tried to kill him with a bat?.. Storm put the pieces together... This guy must of worked for that Damien guy!? This guy put his daughter in the hospital! Storm glared down at the man and stood up. The man started to come to. He looked up at Storm. Storm spoke with a deep dark serious tone. "You're gonna wish you were dead." The man blinked a few times and looked like he was gonna pass back out. Storm lifted him up and against the beaten suv and slapped his face a few times and spoke up "No you don't.. wake up!" Storm slammed the guy into the vehicle. The man did wake up and come to more. Storm glared with anger! Storm yelled "You blew up the shop!? Didn't you!" The man stared and spit in Storms face. Storm growled and threw the man down. The guy glanced at the ground he leaned around turning into his stomach reaching for something. The knife. Storm noticed and pulled the mans feet toward him. Storm flipped the man over and sat on top of him. He grabbed the mans shirt collar and yelled "You did it didn't you!" The man glared. Storm yelled again "SAY IT! I want to hear you say it!!" The man grabbed Storms arms trying to get free. But Storm was driven by his rage now! He thought about Sky. How she was hurt. Fighting for her life! How she called to him. "Daddy!" He grabbed the mans throat. "Tell me!?" The man in a choked up voice answered "I did! I left the bomb in that shop! You were to stupid to realize it!" Storm lifted he man head by his throat and slammed his head in the pavement drive way. Cruz watched from inside. Noticing how Storm was getting aggressive rather than protective now..
Storm yelled "You almost killed my daughter!" Storm teared his arm back and punched the guy hard twice! Storm yelled again "You put her in the hospital!?" He reared back and punched the guy again! Cruz ran out now!.. Storm yelled again "You tried to kill them all!" He ounched The man again. The mans nose was definitely broken! Blood all over his mouth and nose now. Cruz yelled "That's enough!" Storm punched the man again and yelled "He placed the fucking bomb!" Cruz's mouth dropped.. she felt sick from just hearing that!.. Storm grabbed the mans shirt and pulled the man up to his face, the man spoke up spitting some blood out his mouth. "It should have killed them all..". Storm slammed the man into the pavement. He spit blood and coughed. Cruz spoke up to Storm. "Jackson that's enough. Let me call the cops.. don't do something you'll regret?..". Storm glared down at the man. He took a deep breath and answered his wife. "Fine.. call the cops..". The man laughed. Cruz and Storm stared at him confused. The man spit some blood out to the side and spoke up joking "I go to jail? I'll spend every moment thinking of that younger daughter of yours. She's a lot nicer in the right places isn't she.." Storms anger only built up. Cruz layed her hand on Storms shoulder. It froze him.. "He's just getting in your head..". Storm glared at the man. They heard faint sirens coming. Storm stood up. Staggering in some pain from his hip.. the cops pulled up. The man sat up. He could barely see from his face swelling up. Cops started walking up. The man laughed and joked at Storm again. "I get out and I'm gonna be in someone else." He winked. That was it. Storm turned around and came up to the man ready to beat him down for good now! He reared back as the man done the same thing. Cruz yelled "Jackson wait!" Storm punched the mans face hard at the same time the man hit Storm in the leg. Storm felt a sharp pain. The man fell knocked out. Storm looked down at his leg. The knife sticking out. Blood leaked slow from the wound.. Storm stared at it.. he fell back down on his backside. Cruz ran and leaned him up. "You're okay!.. you're okay!.." the cops came up. They dragged the man away. One cop looked at Storm and explained "Its not that bad.. just need to get you to a hospital. Don't pull it out." They called for an ambulance. It more less just hurt from seeing the stab rather than feeling it. Storms adrenaline was pumping to fast for him to feel it much yet.
Cruz let them take Storm. He was awake and alive and he'd be fine. She wanted to get ahold of Jessica. Make sure she was alright. Cruz called her daughter. But no answer?.. she called multiple times?.. no answer. She called Hudson. No answer either... Cruz sighed. She believed her daughter was alright. She headed down to the hospital for Storm for now. Leaving Jessica a bunch of messages.
Now Jessica and Hudson fell asleep on the couch. They were tired physically and emotionally. Worn out.
When they wake up. How does this go!?
Option 1: They wake up, Jessica embarrassed that they slept on the couch together and she kinda just wants to get out of there and rushes to leave! Seeing her father was attacked! And Feeling stupid and embarrassed. Hudson tries to calm her down ofcorse. But she runs to leave.
Or...
Option 2: Do they wake up slowly and sweetly. Gazing at each other. Hudson offers her to make breakfast before they head to the hospital, Leading to a cute cooking lesson and Hudson telling Jessica a big change he is gonna make.
