Moshi moshi! So I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter! And I am in a REALLY weird mood! I was listening to Give Me A Sign by Breaking Benjamin and I had searched on YouTube for an AMV or some video for the Remnants with that song and instead got a Zack Fair one and it had Cloud. Ya, I don't like Cloud. But it kinda sorta inspired me to make a fanfiction series of oneshots in a notebook about Lyra BEFORE the point in my fanfictions that I start actually writing in. The first one is pretty cute and she's, like, five and adorable and yeah! I can't wait to finish the first few so I can upload them onto here! Anyway... I hope you all love this chapter! I think Lyra and Kadaj are starting to get a little bit closer and Loki gets pretty frickin' annoyed! You'll all see why! Enjoy and REVIEW please!

Also can anyone tell me why anime and video game characters are so fudging adorable as kids?! XD

Chapter 5- You're Kidding Right?!

I woke up in a glass bubble. It was in some underground cave and people were at computers and touch screens. I could easily see that this was some Deepground facility.

Wait a second... WHAT THE HECK! I sat up.

"Well the Sleeping Beauty awakes!" I looked around for the speaker.

"Bug-Suit Guy," I growled. He looked annoyed as he sat outside my bubble.

"It's Loki! I'm Loki! Not Bug-Suit Guy, not Reindeer Games, Loki!" He said, waving his arms. He sat back and smirked. "Who's Kadaj?"

I frowned at him.

"You talk in your sleep," he said bluntly. I stood and tan towards him. And ran into the glass wall. Just... Yeah. Stupid tranquilizer dart. He snickered.

"What did you do to him?" I demanded.

"Was he the silver-haired boy who attacked me and my assistant?"

I nodded.

"Oh. Then Luke took care of him," he said like the life of my friend didn't matter. Well I'm sorry, sir, but it does matter! My blood drained from my face and dropped to my feet. Loki just smirked.

"I have a few questions for you," he said. He snapped his fingers and a little Deepground minion ran over with one of those clipboard thingies. Yeah I think that's what they're called. Damn it! Now I'm all derpy and shit! DAMMIT STUPID TRANQUILIZER DART GUEEEUUUU!

"Ask away. I'm an open book," I said, still trying to be a badass. Well, that's on the outside. Inside, I'm freaking out! Loki smirked again.

"Well for one thing, why are you so different from the rest of AVLANCHE?" Loki asked. I rose an eyebrow. Oooooook then...

"Well, I'm a Hybrid," I said with a shrug. Answer the shit that's NOT gonna get me in trouble and figure a way out of here," I thought.

"And how did you get this way? Was it ShinRa or what?" He asked as the clipboard person wrote shiz down.

I wrinkled my nose. Why the- *mental facepalm.* whatever.

"Well my grandparents were Sayions that got possessed by an angel and the other was possessed by a demon and my mom was Sayion, half angel, and half demon. My dad is Time Lord so that's why I'm half Time Lord. The half angel, half demon, half Sayion parts come from my mom," I said. Loki nodded.

"So nothing to do with the ShinRa Electric Power Company?" He asked. Again: *mental facepalm.*

"Why the hell would ShinRa- just what- urrrgh!"

"Well you were in SOLDIER, right?" He asked. I nodded.

"So tell me about Jenova, then," Loki said with a sneer. I tried not to panic. She's a creeeeeeeeeepy alien lady! I've only heard her voice once and she sounds like snakes and shit! Like the Female Voldemort or something! I faked a smile.

"Who's Jenova?" I asked sweetly. Loki had a look on his face that said that he wasn't buying my bullshitting. Well, shit.

"Come on, think a minute. I know you've been out for three days, but-" he said. WHOA WHOA WHOA! My jaw dropped.

"THREE DAYS?!" I screeched. Loki smiled.

"Well looks like you need some motivation to answer the question," Loki said. He looked behind him. "Kalona! Bring the boy out, if you may. She needs an... example," he said with a smirk, looking back at me. Oh no.

Kadaj?! What's he doing here?! Is he hurt?! I looked at the entrance behind Loki worriedly. Please don't be hurt...

A tall guy with long hair and wings walked up behind Loki. But he wasn't dragging Kadaj with him. He was dragging Luke. And Luke looked like he got the shit beat out of him!

"Luke?! What are you doing here?!" I almost shouted. What the hell is going on?!

"Lyra, I tried talking them out of this," he said. The guy that was dragging him punched him in the stomach. I flinched as Luke spit blood.

"Quiet, traitor," the guy said. Loki smiled.

"Thank you, Kalona," Loki said. He looked at me. "He's from the House of Night in Midgar." Oh great. The only type of vampires that hunters aren't supposed to kill. It's some type of treaty or agreement thingie. Sam and Dean had to tell me that once. They were teaching me how to defend myself from monsters.

"Now, tell me about Jenova," Loki said. I glared at him.

"It's none of your business! I was five when I was in SOLDIER! What do you think I know about Jenova-" I started. Kalona punched Luke again.

"A lot," Loki said, answering my question. I looked at Luke. "Now answer the question, Lyra. And remember who'll be punished for the wrong answer."

Luke shook his head. Don't answer. I'll be fine.

Ok I may have forgotten to tell you that I can read minds. Well, when I want to and when people want me too. I usually have the "switch on off."

I glanced at Luke before answering the question.

"I'm sorry but I don't know anything about her. I never learned about her in ShinRa and I never heard about her that much," I lied. Ya I've heard about her! Kadaj and Yazoo and Loz were being manipulated by Jenova once.

"Oh. Ok then," Loki said. "Well, if you don't know about her then... Why is Luke here?"

Oh no.

"Kalona. Kill the boy. We don't need him anymore."

"NO!" I screamed as Kalona pulled out a sword and ran it through Luke's back. He pulled it out and threw Luke at the glass bubble. Luke slid off as Kalona stabbed him again. When he was done, Kalona walked away with a smile.

I was vaguely aware of Loki opening a door in my bubble and walking away.

I ran to Luke.

"Luke, I'm sorry," I said as I fell to my knees in front of him. I saw a sheet on some computer machinery nearby. I grabbed it and rolled a part of it up. I tried to remember the first aid Angeal and Sephiroth taught me. Oh no oh no oh no!

Stay calm. You can remember, I thought. Just apply pressure to the wound- dammit there's more than one!

Luke coughed and I flinched.

"Luke, I'm sorry. I don't think I can stop the bleeding," I said, trying not to cry. Way too many people have died. WAY TOO MANY!

"It's ok, Ly," Luke said. He tried sitting up. "I tried keeping them away but they sent Mary."

I pushed him back down.

"No, stay down. It'll be easier to do first aid," I said. I wiped a tear off my face.

"Lyra, I'm gonna die."

"No you're not! Don't say that!"

I heard a noise behind me but I didn't look. I couldn't lose another friend.

"Hey kid!" Someone yelled behind me.

Luke smiled at me.

"I had a great time at that movie at least," he said with a chuckle. He started coughing again and I started crying.

"We're friends right? I've never had many friends," he said quietly. I nodded.

"Yes, we're friends," I said. Luke smiled and closed his eyes.

"Luke?" I shook his shoulder. "No no no Luke!" Then someone yanked me back.

"NO! LET GO OF ME! LUKE!"

A lady with short reddish hair covered Luke with the sheet I was using and ran over. I grew my nails to claws and turned demon.

"Put. Me. Down," I threatened. I was put down. Well, it was more of dropped. Ow.

See, if you're sweet and people don't listen to you the first time, drop the sweetheart act and be scary. Ah, I love my logic.

The guy that put me down had a bow and arrow holder thing.

"You're welcome for saving you, kid," he said sarcastically. The lady smacked the back of his head.

"Hey she just lost a friend! We need to get her to Reeve and Fury," she said. "Did you tell them anything?"

I shook my head and wiped my face again.

"Good," the lady said as she helped me up. As soon as I was up, they started walking away. I looked back at Luke. He wasn't turned into the sparkly green particles yet. That meant he was still being absorbed by the Lifestream, I guess.

I looked back at the people who saved me.

"Hey! Wait!" I ran to catch up. There were people lying all over the place. I hoped they were knocked out and not dead.

But they probably were dead.

"So Reeve and Fury are friends again?" I asked when I caught up to them.

"No," the lady said. "And we have to leave your friend." She said friend as if he wasn't. UGH! DAMMIT YUFFIE!

"We weren't dating! I don't know what Yuffie's told you but we weren't," I growled. She stumbled.

"You read my mind?!" She squeaked. I put on my most serious face and nodded. She made a face and the rest of the way out was kept in a very awkward silence.

We got to a fighter plane right outside the cave. I got in the back and the two people got in the pilot and auto pilot seats.

"We're not going back to Helga's house, aren't we?" I said. My voice trembled.

"Nope. Sorry kid," the lady said.

"Well, where are we going then?" I asked. They didn't answer.

As we left a voice came over the speakers.

"Hey, you got the kid, Widow?" It said.

I frowned. "Widow?" I mumbled. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT!

"Yup. We'll meet you back at the base," she answered.

"We'll be there in the morning," the guy with the arrows said to the voice.

"Okay. I'll tell Silver that. He's getting annoying. Stark out!" The speakers clicked off.

"That was Tony Stark?" I asked. The lady nodded.

"That means your the Black Widow. And that guy is Hawk-Eye," I said, pointing at him. "So Reeve and Fury are getting us all together to fight Deepground?" I asked.

"Please don't do that. I'm trying to fly a plane," Widow said. Well don't leave your mind open and I won't read it! Jeez Louise, lady!

"Sorry. I don't do good on planes. Even on the Highwind I get like this and when I get angry in the air, It's worse than on the ground," I rambled. I was getting real f*cking nervous.

"Yeah, trying not to think of that," Hawk-Eye said. I made a face and sat down. What the hell had Reeve and everyone else told these people?! The rest of our ride was in a strained awkward silence. It was like they weren't trying to make me mad.

I bet they act like this around the Hulk, I thought. I leaned my head on the wall and somehow managed to fall asleep...

...-...

The next morning we landed on a boat in the middle of the ocean. It was one of those giant boats from the navy or something that fighter planes land on. Everyone from AVALANCHE were waving up at us as we landed. And as soon as we did, I jumped out. Sure the ocean was full of Lyra-eating-shark-infested waters, but I have never been so glad to see the ocean!

"OH my goodness!" Yuffie ran over and smothered me in a big bear hug. Tifa joined in. AAACK! NO!

"People! Too close! Can't! BREATHE!" I squeaked. Kadaj ran out from inside the ship as they let go. He hugged me so tight that I thought my ribs were going to crack. I didn't care, though. I was actually really, really, really glad to see him! To be honest I was surprised that he actually hugged me. I blushed.

"Hello to you too, Shadow," I said as I hugged him back a little.

"I attacked Luke, but he said he had a plan to get you out," he said. I nodded.

"They were arguing. Not talking like I thought," I said, letting go. I stepped back. Kadaj looked around.

"Where's Luke?" He asked. I looked down and squeezed my eyes shut to keep from crying.

"It's my fault. I couldn't save him. Some vampire killed him. Loki kept asking me about um..." I trailed off.

"What was he asking about?" Tifa asked. I looked up at Kadaj.

"Ly?" He frowned and grabbed my shoulders. He looked into my eyes. "Lyra, what was he asking you about?"

I looked down again.

"It was actually more of who," I whispered. "He was asking me about Jenova."

Kadaj let go off me and stiffened. Jenova is something we try not to bring up around anyone in AVALANCHE. Especially around Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. Everything was quiet as some more people joined are little "Welcome Back From Being Kidnapped" Party.

"So we should all go back inside. Just because we're getting ready to take off," Iron Man said. Or Tony Stark. Whatever you want to call him, I guess. I raised my eyebrows.

"Another plane?!" I squeaked. Kadaj put his arm around my shoulders.

"It'll be ok. It's not that bad," he said as we walked inside. I looked up at him. Well he doesn't look too happy. And I still wasn't comfortable with being on a gigantic death trap in the sky.

"Um what's gonna happen if we crash?" I asked. Kadaj glanced at me.

"Bug, we're not going to crash. Don't worry about it," he said.

"But what if we do?" I asked. I'm getting really, really nervous.

"Hey can you tell her to stop asking that? I don't want to think about it either," Dr. Banner (The Hulk) said.

"She can hear," I said, annoyed.

"And we don't care," Tony said. I stopped walking and turned around.

"When I'm nervous, I get angry easier; and flying makes me nervous. In other words: don't. Push it," I threatened.

He rolled his eyes. "Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Ya ok, no," he said back. "Well, don't get nervous then. It's just flying. Jeez."

"Says you. You have to fly all the time," I said. I turned around and bumped into Kadaj. Ah DAMMIT!

Kadaj looked amused.

"Sorry," I said. We continued walking down the corridor. The plane lurched upward into the sky, causing us to trip and stumble. I grabbed onto Kadaj.

"EEE!" I squeaked. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up.

"Oh my goodness you are gonna love Stevie Rae! She's a healer and-" Yuffie said when we got all the way into the ship. "And she and her friends are in the House of Night which I guess means they're vampires with a 'y' and not an I," she finished. At the mention of House of Night, I flinched. Stupid Kalona, I thought.

"You ok?" Kadaj asked me quietly. I nodded. Jeez Louise I've been lying a lot lately! Well, then again, my mom did name me Lyra which is Time Lord for 'liar.' Well that's fitting.

So cuuuuuute! Must set them up!

Dammit Yuffie!

"Yuffie, don't you dare say that!" I said.

"Kid, that is just freaky! Please stop," Natasha said. Kadaj laughed a little.

"Hey we warned you that she's like that," Kadaj said over his shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah, shut up, Silver," Stark said.

"It's Kadaj," Kadaj growled. I sighed and facepalmed. We entered a large room full of computers, people, tables, and monitors. I guess it was like that Deepground cave thingie but this was much more friendlier.

At a very large conference table on a landing by the door sat four groups of people. They were all sitting by their groups but also a little suspiciously aware of the others; like they didn't know whether to trust them or not. Whoa it's awkward in here. I didn't really recognize anyone in here so I guess that's why I felt more awkward and shy about everything even more. I sat down next to a girl with dark hair and mako eyes. She had tattoos of curly-cues and swirls all up and down her arms. I took a wild guess and guessed that the people around her were from the House of Night.

Kadaj sat down at my other side. As everyone got seated, Reeve and Fury got up and walked to a corner and started arguing. Oy vey, this is gonna be a very, very, very stressful meeting, isn't it?

I looked up at the girl by me. She was staring at me. Well that's not creepy at all.

"Hi," I said shyly.

"Sup," she said back. Really? That's it? Really?! No hi how ya doin'? I'm blah-blah-blah! Ugh. People.

She was looking around the room with a very bored look on her face. A guy who was sitting next to her with red curly-cue tattoos was sitting impossibly close to her. He glared at me like I was a threat and scooted even closer to her. Well, that's um nice? I guess? Uh... okey-dokey then!

I made a face that showed him that I was not in the mood to start fighting over who and who I could not be friends with. I put my head in my arms. I didn't have to look up to see that Kadaj was staring at me like I was sick or something. Oy vey.

I felt someone else staring at me. Great. What the hell do people want now?!

I looked up. The vamps were staring at me. Oh that's just GREAT! URRRGH! The girl by me opened her mouth to say something but before she could, Reeve and Fury sat down. MEETING TIME!

"We have an important announcement to make," Reeve said. I rolled my eyes and glimpsed into his mind and- WTF?! HELL NOOOOOOOO!

I was so surprised that I jumped back and fell off my chair.

"Oh shit!" I yelled as I hit the ground. Kadaj looked down.

"ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?!" I squeaked.

DUN-DUN-DUN! How was that? I know it was a bit sad but hey! Lyra and Kadaj are adorable and this is a way for them to get together! And yes I had to add HoN (House of Night) into this because that's one of the only vampire series I'll actually willingly read. Yeah. But yeah. Luke is gonna be important in the future and I'm pretty sure Lyra is breaking very slowly on the inside. :'( :( At least Kadaj is there for her! :D Hope you all liked this! I'm gonna type up the next chapter and finish my first one-shot and upload that onto here as soon as I can! :D

Please REVIEW and I hope you enjoyed!

Sayonara peeps!
