Chapter Four: Nut Case
Arthur stared at Alfred's goofy smile, a thick eyebrow raised at him. This man was really goofy looking sometimes. What could have put him in such a good mood? Just a little while ago he'd been destroying an innocent alley way. Arthur smiled a bit too; this guy's smile was just so infectious. The strength he had was a good asset as well, he knew that they would need that. Somewhere deep down Arthur kind of knew that Alfred himself knew what he had just told Matthew on the way home. With a sigh Arthur shook his head at the other, pulling his scarf up over his nose; he really disliked this cold weather.
"Am I going to be happy? What are you smiling about huh?" Arthur said, the more this guy smiled at him the redder his face got. He cursed at his pale complexion; he could just blame it on the cold air.
Alfred's smile got even bigger, if that was even earthly possible. Arthur guessed that it was as he saw it growing more and more. Alfred laughed loudly, his voice echoing through the sky. "Well, we have to wait a little bit but you'll see, you'll love it and you'll finally smile for once! You'll be so happy!"
Arthur frowned a bit at this, "Hey, look, Alfred I-I'm sorry for… all that… I don't mean it really I just…" Arthur didn't know how to finish, and in the silence he heard Alfred chuckle softly. He looked over at him sharply, when he was lifted up into the air by the laughing American. Shock covered his eyes as he was hugged. It wasn't very tight, but Arthur knew the reason behind it.
"It's ok! Everything will be ok!" Laughter filled the air and Alfred was humming with energy. Not like in the alley though. He just seemed happy; Arthur broke out into a huge smile and laughed. Was this one of his abilities? Making people suddenly feel safe and happy, that'd be a wonderful gift.
"P-Put me down you idiot," Arthur said but his laughing and smile said otherwise. The muscles on his face quickly became tired, as if he hadn't smiled this big in such a long time that they were tearing. Arthur thought back and couldn't see anytime he had recently been so happy.
When Alfred finally put him down he covered his eyes gently and turned him to where his back was facing Alfred's chest. Arthur frowned, wondering what the heck was going on? Alfred chuckled a bit behind him, making him feel a bit nervous as footsteps suddenly started walking up to him. Alfred pulled his hands off and took a step back.
Arthur suddenly covered his mouth and tears weld up in his eyes. He smiled and looked back at Alfred, simply trembling with the sudden warmth that filled him. He gulped and looked back of the small group of people in front of him. He couldn't move, and when he opened his mouth to say something he took in a sharp breath.
A tall one of the group with blonde hair like Arthur's came over to him quickly. He hesitantly embraced his brother, his light green eyes scanning over Alfred for a moment before holding his brother tightly. Alfred smiled, giving them some space. His heart felt so warm and happy because he had succeeded in his task. He could hear Arthur's sobs as two more siblings went over to him and joined the embrace.
Alfred stared at the tallest of siblings who continued to stand close to the edge of the building. The black feathers on his wings swayed slightly when the cold chill ran past him, but he was unfazed by it. This guy's energy was sharp and is slightly intimidated Alfred, but he could tell by the tears this man was trying to hold back that he was in no way as scary as he looked. Alfred thought that at least.
When the eldest finally walked over he held Arthur tightly for a long time. It was apparent that Arthur had not expected that response from the elder but none the less hugged back. Alfred suddenly felt like the silence was a type of 'I am sorry' from the eldest. Was that why the other siblings had moved off of Arthur? Alfred got an awkward feeling, like he should know why this was happening. He gulped when the eldest stepped away. Arthur turned to look at him, a big smile broke out of his face as he saw Alfred.
"Alfred, come here," Arthur said, beckoning him over. Alfred smiled. He then walked over slowly, staring at Arthur's siblings. "Th-this is Alfred… h-he… he is the one who's been helping me, along with his brother Matthew. Alfred, these are my siblings. Alistair, Jana, Dylan, and Seamus…"
Alfred looked over the other people, smiling wide. "Hi. Uhm I-It's kind of cold so if you want to come inside you ca" that's when his glasses were torn off of his face by Arthur's sister Jana. She squealed and jumped happily around the eldest, before switching to Arthur.
"ARTIE'S IN LOVE! HE FOUND A LOOOVEEERRR!" she squealed.
"N-NO!" Arthur quickly denied her.
The girl looked over to Alfred, scanning him seriously with her eyes. Alfred thought she looked a little familiar. He blinked and smiled wide at her. "Republic of Ireland! So nice to finally have met you again! Last year's convention?"
"You remember! You as well America," she laughed and went over to him. They shook hands and simple chuckled at each other.
"This is very strange." Seamus said looking at his brother before giving him a hug. "Geez your emotions are really loud to! WHY'S EVERYONES EMOTIONS SO LOUD?"
"Maybe you're just listening to hard Seamus." Dylan said smiling happily at his youngest brother. Seamus pouted at him and sighed.
"It isn't that easy…"
Matthew stared at the tall man who now sat on the couch. Arthur and his other brothers now held up in Alfred's room. Jana, as he knew the female as, was in the kitchen doing god knows what. Alfred sat beside Matthew staring at him as well. This guy was really tall and just sharp, at that. He didn't look very friendly either. Matthew felt like his throat was dry so he gulped down the milk in his mug.
The older glanced up from his cup of tea and looked at Matthew and Alfred. Alfred jumped a little and Matt almost choked on his milk. He stared at them and sighed combing his fingers through his unruly red hair. He placed the mug of tea on the coffee table and stared at both of them once again. He opened his mouth to talk but gulped down his words suddenly. Alfred then noticed the prominent scares on this guy's neck. He frowned and opened his mouth again.
"Mah name is Alistair Kirkland. Yeh saved mah little brother, I thank yeh but this is no time fer such things." He sighed. "I believe mah little brother has explained some of the situation to at least one of yeh." Matthew nodded, scratching the back of his head. Alfred blinked confused; he felt as if he should know what this man was talking about. "You, Arthur mentioned yeh had alarms. In yer head?"
"Yeah… They are to alert me of danger, but it's…"
"Yea, that's not just normal crime kiddo…" Alistair took a deep breath, "When children are born here in Skyward they take their DNA to test what they are. Well… they keep the DNA of Eu children. They were trying to find a cure for them but something much worse happened, they mutated the DNA and well created monsters…" Alistair said he looked overly worried.
"Monsters as… in?" Matt asked, he definitely hadn't heard this from Arthur.
"Copies, they have made copies of all Eu gene children ever born in the past 50 years." He said cracking his knuckles in a worrisome way.
"H-how?" Alfred asked, wasn't cloning impossible?
"Well Eu is actually a living gene that runs through us. When separated from something with a conscience, us, it grows by itself when added to tissue. I-I mean they actually started out as cute little buggers. Like little white blobs but they grew at a quick pace. When the scientists found out they didn't have a good conscience, they attempted to terminate them."
"A-Attempted?" Matthew asked hesitantly, he gulped worriedly and sat on his hands to stop them from shaking.
"It didn't work and in the fuss we escaped, but they did too. Now they are running around wild causing who knows what kind of trouble. I hate this city, I hate their people, and I hate to say this, but we have to save it. I don't say that kind of thing ever."
"B-but it's against the law here to do that-" Alfred squawked but Alistair interrupted him.
"Fuck the police," He said furrowing his brow at Alfred, "we have gifts given to us for some reason, why NOT use them. The police don't have anything that can stop us. You're either with us or you're not."
It was silent in the living room for a long while. Alfred looked down at his lap and gulped, breathing in a deep breath. "It isn't good for Matryoshka to hold their powers in, it slowly starts to kill them," said Jana walking into the room with her own mug of tea. She smiled at Matthew and Alfred before sitting beside Alistair, "this government knows that, so they do their best to stop us from using our abilities. What they don't know though is that they really can't. They need us, and despite the mutual dislike we have; we need to save them."
"How though? We'd be identified right away!" Alfred said.
"There is something great about cosplay Alfred. Something wonderful you can do with costumes and makeup." Jana said he face lighting up.
"So we'd have disguises?" Matthew asked, looking a bit quizzical. He looked over at his brother and knew he was already going to accept the idea of being a super hero. "Wh-what are your guy's powers anyways?"
"Yes disguises…" Jana said smiling wide, "I can take care of the costumes."
"And we can fly. That's about all we can do." Alistair said sighing.
"Seamus can hear emotions. He really gets upset sometimes. Sappy that boy." Jana said smirking.
"Hear emotions? How does he do that?" Matthew asked.
"We don't know." They both said bluntly.
"Sometimes I accidentally cut thing's, and Jana can throw bloody far… Dylan can block and move around quickly. Arthur… Arthur is just a prissy princess." Alistair said shaking his head at the thought of his brother.
Alfred scoffed and shook his head too, "tell me about it. How do you live with him?"
"You don't, you just cope. But common you two he isn't always a prissy princess." Jana said with a sigh, giving small glares at the both of them. Alistair looked away and Alfred shrugged. "The important thing we need to know right now is that you two are going to join and help out…"
"I'll help, do you think it'll calm these forsaken alarms down?" Alfred asked.
"Yeah it should help yeh out." Alistair said, he then looked over at Matthew. Matt was looking down. He looked very hesitant but eventually nodded.
"Matt can become invisible and move things around. He can read minds too!" Alfred said smiling.
"I can't read minds Alfred, I can read strings of thought but not minds."
"You can read minds," Jana said with a small smile. "You have to practice, and eventually you'll reach that level. Alfred what can you do?"
"I'm just really strong."
"And he can run really face, jump really high, his skin is so thick bullets only make bruises, and well; scare the living day lights out of people if he gets mad enough." Alfred pouted at his brother.
"I said I was sorry Mattie…"
"It's ok, you mentioned practicing. For me I understand how I would but what about you guys? Or Alfred?" Matthew asked Jana, she smiled widely and laughed.
"There's fully abandoned parts of this city, where do you think we've been hiding out? Walmart?" She cackled and ended up snorting a little bit, when she did though he face became bright red. "O-oh uhm… Anyways, I'll handle the gathering money with Dylan and Seamus if you want. Food's easy to come by and we get loads of money."
"I'm out of a job anyways…" Alfred said pouting, "I help out the owner of this place just to live here… He's Matryoshka but is completely against using his powers as far as I know…"
Alistair nodded and the room was quiet for a long while. A sudden thump from the other room and squawking alerted them. Alfred got up and raised an eyebrow at the others before walking down the hall to his bedroom door. He winced at the sudden loud music that began to play randomly. What station was this? He furrowed his brow and opened the door, only to close it again when the blasts of sound hit his ears in full force.
"No Seamus turn it down Alfred has sensitive ears!" He heard Arthur yell over the noise, Seamus said something about him not coming in because of the sound, then Dylan's cackling. Alfred suddenly worried for Arthur's life and with a trembling hand he opened the door and barreled into the room successfully smashing his stereo to bits. It was cheap anyways so it didn't matter.
Alfred's ears rung as he turned around to glare at the three guys in his room. He took in the sight of a sheepish Seamus and Dylan sitting on top of a very disgruntled Arthur. Seamus said something but Alfred couldn't hear him, the ringing was really loud. He furrowed his brow and shook his head. Arthur looked at him pleadingly, so he looked at his older brother who moved off of him. Alfred turned around and picked up his ruined stereo. He dropped it into a trashcan as the ringing began to dissipate.
"What did you say Seamus?" Alfred asked and turned to face the teen. He smiled, hesitantly.
"I asked if you were gonna marry Arthur."
Alfred stared at Seamus for a long time, just a simple blank stare. He then turned to look at Arthur questioningly, then back at Seamus. "What brought this on?"
Arthur shrugged and shook his head, "they just suddenly started asking me random bloody shit. Then they turned annoying music on and Dylan sat on me! Seriously Dylan! Sitting on me, I honestly thought you were more mature than that!"
Dylan smirked and scratched his cheek happily, a deep chuckle coming out of his throat. Seamus then out of the blue ran into Alfred. Alfred blinked completely unphased by the small teen. He looked down as Seamus clutched his nose and groaninng. Alfred snorted and began to laugh at the teen's stupidity. Dylan ran over completely worried, so did Arthur.
"Seamus are you stupid?!" Arthur exclaimed as Seamus sat up. The small boy had blood dripping from the hand that clutched his nose. "You don't just running into this oaf with all of your force! He has like metal skin or something!"
"Ah thunk Ah figured thah out.." Seamus said, removing his hand. "I-is it brohkun?"
Alfred turned and grabbed the tissue box on his nightstand, he knelt down in front of Seamus and allowed Dylan to remove the blood that fell out of his nose. "Nah you just really smacked your face hard. Why'd you do that anyways? Kinda dumb if you ask me…"
"Seamus is unpredictable. He used to be all proper and pleasant to be around, til we moved to a big city. I guess all the screaming emotions got to him." Dylan said, receiving a loud 'hey' from Seamus.
"I did it because I wasn't to see what would happen." Seamus said, looking kinda proud of himself.
"You're a real nut case kid." Alfred said, he looked at Arthur who shrugged.
"He probably did it to get out of the question you asked him." Dylan proposed, Alfred nodded; accepting that answer because it was better than the one Seamus had given. Jana walked into the door way and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"What the fuck 'appened here?"
"Ah, I'm ready to burst out;
Catch every part of me
Ah, with both your hands,
Catch me for me"
