Hi everyone. Sorry it's been a bit long since the last update but I have written you a new chapter. I took your comments on board and tried to act on them. Right here's the thing with this chapter its like chapter 2 but it's from Frank's point of view so I may repeat things. Ok we understand? Good
Chapter 3- Flashback. Frank's P.O.V.
I remember that day. It was just another day. A day that went horribly wrong
*Flashback*
I had taken a few days off recently because of the events of last week. It had been hard. Really hard to find out that I had sent my team into a trap
*Flashback within a flashback*
'Hyperia get the team down to the main bunker. I'll take the control room.'
I found the control room. The walls were covered with maps and different signs. Then I heard Hyperia in my ear.
'Frank this is bad. There's a long range missile warming up. Destination London.'
'Frank what's happened?' It was Stella. She was guiding us through.
I found a solution but it wasn't good. It would mean everyone would die. My whole team would be dead. The blast doors.
*End of flashback within a flashback*
The rest I tried to forget. The rest I wanted to forget. I wasn't proud of what I had done. I had killed my team and not even managed to kill the Mastermind and the Crimeminsister. I had failed.
My phone rang. It was Stella. I was going to see her this evening.
'Hi Stell. You ok?'
'Frank can you come over' she whispered. I could hear something in her voice.
'Yeah sure. Wh-'
The phone went dead. I wondered what was wrong. Why had she cut me off?
When I got to the HQ I met Stark in the corridor.
'Where you off to London? Heard you'd been suspended' he smirked
'I wasn't suspended I took a few days off and why does it matter to you where I'm going.'
'Off to see Stella then.'
'Where is she?' I was on the verge of losing my temper
'Don't know. Haven't seen her all day.'
He stalked off back to his office and slammed the door behind.
When I got to Stella's office I found her huddled in a chair crying. I didn't like to see her vulnerable like his. I didn't try to talk to her just held her in my arms as she cried.
'Do you want me to take you home?' I said
She couldn't seem to speak through the tears but she managed to nod her head in agreement.
'Come on then'
I lifted her out of the chair and helped her to her feet. I hoped that we wouldn't meet Stark as we went down the corridor because he would probably make some remark that would make me hit him. Thankfully we didn't but we meet some agents. They didn't ask me what was wrong or if Stella was ok. One or two nodded to us but everyone else just walked past.
When I got her back to her flat she sat on the sofa and stared into space. I tried to reach her several times but I got no response. I thought about leaving her to get some peace but I couldn't leave her in this state. I tried to get through every day but all I got was silence.
'Stell are you there' I tried
'Come on Stell I need to know you're ok'
'Come on Stella I know you're there'
Then on the third day I made a breakthrough. Try tickling. It would either go really well or fail miserably. What had I got to lose? So I started and it didn't take long to get a reaction.
It was quiet but it was there. Then it got louder until she was in full scale giggles.
'That's my girl' I laughed. It had actually worked. I had got my Stella back
'Thank you Frank'
'What for?'
'For being there and putting a smile on my face' she replied
'That's what I'm here for. To keep you smiling'
I pulled her into my lap and put my arms round her waist.
'I love you Frank'
'I love you too Stella'
*End of flashback*
