Some Surprises Are in Order
~Chapter 8~
Author's Notes: Hey! *waves* Yep it's me General Sephiroth. Just checking in to say hello, and wish you happy reading. Please review.
When Angel announced that he was in fact Gabriel Allen Moore Megan could barely believe it. "What...how...why...why did you hide it?" she asked as she walked up to where the others stood.
SOLDIER couldn't believe themselves Gabriel was alive, but why hadn't he aged any?
When Megan reached the Turks she walked over to Gabe. And instead of hugging Gabe like he thought she would she threw one hell of a right hook at his face sending him flying back to land on his butt. "I guess you missed me, Little One." he said rubbing his jaw. "I think you might have broken my jaw there." he said flinching but smiling all the same.
Megan walked over to him and stood above him "don't you ever do that to me again!" she said in a deep threatening tone.
Gabe watched as the anger leaked away to only be replaced with tears. "shhh it's ok there Little One don't cry" he said as he stood and hugged her.
"I'm not crying" she said as she clung onto him and cried harder.
Gabe gently rubbed her back "why don't we go inside and get something to drink?"
Mike, Lex, and Kail nodded while Megan only cried on Gabe and let them led her back to the Turk Lounge.
A few hours and Dr Peppers later Megan was returned to her normal self, well almost normal. She was no longer crying but she hadn't let go of Gabe the entire time.
"I've missed you, Gabe. I really have. So has dad. " Megan said as she took a gulp of Dr Pepper and hugged his arm again.
Gabe grinned down at his God child "I have missed you guys as well, but I had to kill myself off, you father knew."
Megan just glared out the window "he could have told me."
Mike shook his head "we asked him not too. It was easier that way."
Megan looked at Mike for a moment "I guess I really don't understand but if you had to then you had too. Just wish you had trusted me enough to warn me."
Gabe shook his head with a grin "it wasn't a matter of trust. Gabriel Moore had to die, there was no way around it."
"Why?"
Mike looked at Gabe in question "I never understood that either Gabe, why did you do it?"
"I just had to... sorry that I can't tell you more." Gabe said as he looked at Mike with a look that said don't ask anymore you won't understand.
Mike knew the look.
Megan looked around the room for Kail wanting to see if he knew why Gabe had done it but found both him and Lex missing. "Uhm...do either of you know where Kail and Lex went?"
"Uhm…" Gabe scratched the back of his now cut hair. "I think she went to go retrieve Kail after she snipped my hair."
"Uh huh," Megan said skeptically. "That was twenty minutes ago… And where would that be."
"Check the workout area upstairs," Mike said nodding towards the door and tossing her his key card. "I want that back."
"Sure." Megan grinned slyly and stood up. She brushed herself off and headed towards the door. "You two coming?"
"Yeah. We'll be there, just give us a few minutes," Mike answered.
"Hey, were old. Give us a break," Gabe said with his mischievous grin. Megan only rolled her eyes and headed out the door mumbling, "Turks…"
