The Protector

Chapter 3: Secret Room

A month after General Young retired. Noah goes to see him with Liza Marie while Quinn was in the hospital on bed rest. While she awaited the birth of their son. As soon as they walk in, they see a man in a wheelchair, and Noah says, "Hey Jamie, man, I thought you got your own place." Jamie rolls his eyes and looks over at Mike who says to Liza Marie, "Don't mind him, Squirt, he's just mad, because, his online boyfriend dumped him for a girl." This made Noah chuckle before Jamie got on his laptop, and they heard a computer voice say, "Dad, really? I doubt Puck's daughter needed to know that."

Then Liza Marie says, "I'm Congressman Hummel's granddaughter and his son was my Dada, sir. Don't worry I'm okay wiff you liking men and I can tell you like Daddy Nono." Before Mike chuckles as Jamie blushes. Then Noah says to Jamie, "I used to tease her Dada a lot back in high school, man. So, what was it you wanted to show me?" Jamie looks over at Mike who replies, "Follow me." Before they followed him to a hidden door on the floor and Mike has Noah open it.

Soon, Mike takes Jamie out of his wheelchair, and they all walk down some steps to a room that looked like the Bat cave. The first thing that caught Noah's eye, was a motorcycle in the corner of the room. Then he asks Mike, "So, how long has this been here?" Mike looks at Liza Marie as he says, "Since I built the cabin. Ha, I didn't injure my leg overseas, Puck. I was a comic book nerd. Stacie was a computer nerd, and we built this cabin together. She made me give up crime fighting, before Jamie was born. Ha, he found the room when he was thirteen, and we have been making improvements over the years. Then after his last stay in the hospital, he saw you on the news, that day you saved Quinn and has been begging me to tell you since."

Then Mike says to Liza Marie, "Your Grandpa Burt doesn't know about this, and I would like to keep it that way. Even though he knows about your new daddy there." Liza Marie just makes the sign for sealed lips then she saw a picture of some men holding up a sign that said, Wolfmen Unit Rules and protective gear that looked like it could fit her. Then she looked at Jamie and says to Mike, "You lied to daddy, General. You stopped because your son got hurt, and I bet he knew about the room before he was thirteen. Now, why did you want me to find out about this room?! You didn't need me to be here, to show daddy this room!"

Mike just looked at her and said, "I saw your face when you would tell people about getting to help your adopted daddy take down the guys that killed your dads. It was the same look Jamie had when he would come patrolling with me. Look, I know you could get hurt, but come on, your call sign here is the Little She-Hulk for a reason, and it has nothing to do with your anger. I bet, your new daddy doesn't even know, that you could probably lift him over your head." Before Mike can say another word he and Jamie watch her grab the belt loops on Noah's jeans and lift him over her head as he says, "Holy fuck! Ha, Papa Blaine wasn't lying. God, Little She-Hulk, I am guessing this is one more thing I need to keep from Mama Quinn and Grandpa Burt."

As she puts Noah down she says, "G' Pa Burt is aware already and has been begging me to tell you since that day Eric and General Young came to the house. Mama Queenie just knows that, I can open jars, and carry out trash bags that weigh as much as you do. Ha, if she found out about this she might try to lock me in my room until I'm as old as you." Then Jamie uses his other wheelchair to say, "Ha, mom tried that too after I got hurt, and I wonder if your new daddy heard about you playing Army Men World with me, Little She-Hulk. Or if your Grandpa knows you learned how to shoot guns from that game and not him?"

Then they heard Burt say, "I do now. Mike, I knew about this room ever since Jamie was shot. Are you crazy? Puck fighting crime is one thing, but Liza Marie is just a kid and my granddaughter! I lost Carole and Kurt! I am not willing to be without her too!" Then he looks at Noah as he says, "If she gets hurt I'm telling Quinn about this! I know I can't stop Liza Marie from getting herself hurt, but I can stop you, Puckerman! You lost Beth for God's sake! Do you want to lose Liza Marie too?!" Then Liza Marie lifts Burt over her head as she says, "G' Pa, if you tell Mama Queenie about this. I'll tell her why you bought me my brand-new gun, and it wasn't to take me hunting! Now, you better keep this room a secret from her!" Burt looks at the others as he says, "Okay, okay, Little She-Hulk. I won't tell her. Now, put me down, please!" As she puts Burt down the other men busted out laughing. Before they heard Stacie yell, "Puck, the baby's coming, you need to get to the hospital now! Jamie and I will watch Liza Marie! Now, go!"

As soon as he got to the maternity ward he heard, "Code blue room 517!" This had him in a panic because that was Quinn's room and the moment he got to her room all he heard was the baby's heartbeat fading and he dropped to his knees. Burt and Mike had to hold him up when he walked into the room to say goodbye to Quinn and his son. When Burt saw the name on the birth and death certificates he sheds a tear as he says, "Ha, you named your son after Sue? Really Puck? Did you want him to be like Kurt?" Noah laughs as he replies, "Uh, that's my middle name Burt, I named him after me. My parents and Sue are the only other people that know that. Ha, if Kurt knew that when we were in glee. He would be ribbing me over that for years. Ha, and yes dad named me that. Ha, I am glad Jake's mom named him, or we might be the brothers named Sue." Then Burt gets out his wallet and shows Noah his birth certificate. Noah busts out laughing as he says, "Leslie?! Does Kurt know this?" Burt chuckles as he says, "No, I never told him that, and I don't want this info to leave this room!" Mike and Noah smirk at each other before they say in unison, "I'm telling Liza Marie!"
