And today's chapter!
Still breathing?
Lots of Love!
-Dark-
Kami damn it!
He crosses his arms as he throws his back against the wall, staring at David in disbelief.
This was fucking bullshit.
Stupid fucking magic.
Every time they turned around, something else was fucking with these kids.
First, the stupid fucking setup.
Then fucking family day.
Fuck that bitch, by the way.
Queen Leah could go fuck herself.
Then that stupid bitch of a fairy.
Them running away.
He scowls at that one.
And just when they'd managed to convince the kids that a few days apart wouldn't kill them...
This!
Their incubators and sperm donors running around and fucking with them.
Was the fucking world working against them or some shit?
Hadn't they dealt with e-fucking-nough?
"Seriously?" He huffs, "Not even a fucking clue as to who took the stupid thing?"
Nani purses her lips before her shoulders sag. "Nada. The cameras fritzing out coincides with the ceremony. So it could have been a side effect of the magic Jane unleashed." She sighs, "Or it could be that the rest of their villains attacked the museum while Maleficent was busy."
He rolls his eyes, "And you're fucking telling me none of the shitiots at the museum noticed that stupid fucking thing missing?"
David shakes his head, "The museum was shut down after the ceremony. They were too focused on the wand… But, yeah, Cruella's coat is missing along with the rest of Evil Queen's mirror."
His eyes narrow, "The coat?"
David sighs as he nods his head.
His scowl deepens.
He'd seen it.
But he turns to his wife, "Did you notice the damn thing when you did the sweep?"
Lilo closes her eyes as she nods, "It was hanging by the door."
Nani sighs, "We can go check to see if it's still there." She volunteers.
"We know Cobra well enough to know that whole scene has been processed and cleaned." David points out before he leans forward, resting his hands on his knees.
"And uncle didn't say anything about finding one." Lilo frowns.
"Great." He growls, "Shoulda put a damn tracker on the stupid thing." He grumbles.
Lilo shakes her head, "Don't kick yourself too hard. I didn't think about it either. We were too focused on getting our son back."
"You shouldn't beat yourselves up at all." Nani rubs her hands down her face.
He lifts his brow, "Have you met us?"
Nani rolls her eyes, "Hence the silent acceptance."
David slowly shakes his head, "So, what happened on your trip?"
"Genie found the stupid thing." He huffs.
"Yeah, twenty thousand leagues under the sea." Lilo sighs.
"What?" David's brows knit.
"Genie law or some shit." He shrugs.
"He's sentence to like a thousand years of captivity in his lamp 'til it transports to a new location for like, trials, or something," Lilo explains.
David shakes his head.
"Genie laws are lolo." Nani shakes her head, "But, at least that takes two out." She leans forward and steeples her fingers together.
"Not that you'll hear me complain." David grumbles before his brow furrows as he looks over to Nani, "Two?"
"Maleficent." He runs a hand through his hair.
"Leaving Evil Queen and Cruella as the only ones MIA." Lilo closes her eyes, "Which-"
"Sucks a goddamn exploding ball sack."
"Hiro!" Nani glares.
David grimaces, "That's an image, brah."
Lilo's snort is muffled by the disgust of the other two.
He shrugs, "It's an apt description."
David shakes his head.
"We all cope differently." Lilo shrugs, "Speaking of coping though…"
He sighs.
They hadn't left the boy's dorm.
Had barely responded to their texts.
Not that he could blame them, being as scared shitless as they were.
It still slightly offended him though, even if it was coming from a place of concern.
He knew the kids were worried that their parents would attack them. Them and their new friends they were also snubbing.
That had been an interesting conversation with Red.
The kid had nearly cried over their Chibi-chan neglecting his texts and CoD invites.
Which- Honestly?
He got.
It spoke volumes.
Terrifying volumes.
Chibi-chan never turned down a game.
He lets his head hit the wall.
He wanted to shoot something.
"Jumba and Gantu have any luck at the beach house?" He questions, already knowing the answer as he glares at the ceiling.
"No," David sighs.
"Just the usual beach trash, and not even much of it," Nani adds.
"What about FGM?" Lilo questions, "If they couldn't find anything with science-"
"She found remnants of magic," David sighs, "But it was cold."
"And her scry shit with the wand?" He asks as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"Cobra went with her to her office so she could do the spell properly."
He huffs.
He really, really, really hated relying on fucking magic.
"I know we're all worried." Nani sighs.
"Understatement." Lilo deadpans.
"Yes. Yes, it is." Nani nods, "But, we have to give them a little space and time."
"We could just take them to space, 'til those cunts get found."
Nani glares at him.
"What!?" He throws out his hands, "I'm just sayin'!."
"I think," David rests a hand on Nani's shoulder, "What we're trying to say here is that." He sighs, "Kai dammit, this sucks, but we have to remember that these kids, our kids, are not used to being able to rely on anyone other than themselves. They're getting better, so so so much fucking better every day, but this attack-" He sighs before he looks away, pressing his free hand to his chest.
"This, much like what happened when Maleficent attacked, hits close to home for them." Nani continues, "I'm so proud of them for not running away. For trusting us the way they did. Jay-" Her voice cracks.
"Jay," David sighs, "And his pack, are going to withdraw, and probably back peddle some. This would be a lot for any victim- But, these kids?"
"These kids have been through hell and back-" Nani sighs.
"And after all the promises of safety and security-" David continues slowly.
"It's gonna be hard for them to trust that again-" Nani adds.
"And hard for them to reach out." David runs a hand through his hair, "Which they've only recently started doing."
"Kami fucking damnit!" He growls.
"That doesn't mean we stop reaching for them." Nani shakes her head.
"Like anyone could stop us," Lilo huffs.
Nani smiles, "True, we just have to be careful not to push them too hard, but also assure them that we're here when they need us."
"For all good that will do at this point." He breathes out.
"They came back to us once." David sighs, "The moment Jay said pineapples in that tunnel, I knew we hadn't lost him."
He runs a hand through his hair, "This is so fucking stupid."
He was a fucking genius.
Lilo knew how to look outside of boxes like no one he'd ever met.
Cobra, David, and Nani were fucking experts.
Their whole family, and his team, were fucking packed to the sky with fucking weapons.
Yet, somehow, three stupid- well, two stupid cunts were one-upping them.
He'd seen Maleficent's aquarium-
Well, demanded to see it.
Just like he'd demanded to add his own security.
That bitch even blinked wrong and she'd be one dried-out newt.
Nani nods, "Here's the thing, Hiro. We might need to give them time, but that doesn't mean our hands are completely tied."
They all jump at the single firm knock on the door.
Damn it.
He couldn't remember the last time he was this on edge.
"Cobra," Lilo greets knowingly as the door opens.
"I trust I'm not interrupting anything." Cobra greets as he closes the door behind him.
"Not more than what you'd expect," David shrugs.
"So I've interrupted you while you worry." Cobra nods as he pulls a chair over to join their circle.
"Accurate." He folds his arms again. "Which is fucking robot screws. We-" He gestures between him and Lilo, "Never worry. It's totally not our thing."
"That was before you became parents." Cobra points out.
He closes his mouth as he looks away.
Touche.
"Janice did not locate the Evil Queen or Cruella on the Isle."
"Of fuckin' course not," He rolls his eyes.
"She believes that they are cloaking themselves."
His eye twitches.
Fuck.
Magic.
With.
An.
Ice.
Spiked.
Plunger.
"I insisted she get some rest." Cobra sighs, "It would seem using the wand requires a lot of her energy when she focuses on the barrier."
He fucking bet it did.
He liked Janice.
He did.
But right now?
Right now he could kick the bitch.
Fuck that barrier.
"Once she's ready, she will attempt to scry for them again." Cobra finishes as he looks around the room, "So, what did I miss?"
"Jafar is currently in a cavern at the bottom of the ocean." Lilo sighs.
"So we're not sure if Jafar attacked Jay and then was banished-"
He scoffs, "Or if fucking EQ fucking kami damned fucking made a fucking stupid ass copy, image, mirage, or whatever the fuck else magic can fucking do."
Cobra nods before he turns to David, "You should let Jay know."
He nods, already on his phone.
"We were just getting ready to talk about our own protection for the kids, if you'd care to weigh in." Nani offers as she leans against David to listen.
"Drones." He crosses his arms defiantly. "Fight me."
Fuck Adam.
"Stealthy drones." Lilo amends.
He nods. "I can make them look like hawks."
"Perfect." Lilo smiles.
David sighs before he pulls his phone away from his ear and starts typing.
He rolls his eyes.
Great.
They were fucking screening calls again.
*Clicks tongue*
So, yeah.
Another adult chapter.
Another chapter of concern, worry, and paranoia.
At least the genie is off the map… For now.
Still, it's weird to do so many adult PoV's. Luckily we're more familiar with writing this group.
How frustrating this is for the ohana, and I'm sure you guys as well…
What the fuck is happening?
Seriously.
Are you on the edge of your seat? Do we have you completely captivated?
We really fucking hope so.
Poor fucking bastards.
On a lighter note, did you guys enjoy Hiro's descriptors?
Speaking of,
Fave Quote:

What was your fave part?
Much love and appreciation,
