âDevrim!â He snarled through a much deeper inhuman voice, as he rushed through the portal, ignoring Harry to wrap his arms around his son. He felt the sobs and Calâs worry and just⌠just ⌠so much anger and frustration rose up in him. âDevrim⌠Devrim .. I brought Harry.. Heâs alive. Itâs going to be okay. Iâll⌠Iâll find a way to attach your wing. Peter will do it. Heâll do it or Iâll kill him and every last living thing in New York City.â
Tom looked to Cal. He knew how much Cal loved their Devrim. âIâll fix this.â Even though he knew there wasnât a way this time, not when Habit did it.
âPeter!!â he roared out, twisting his head in near agony to keep his form inside that guise and not just ripping apart the entire mansion. âPeter, where the FUCK are you?!! Heal him!! Fix his wing!!â
Harry was probably as much in denial as Tom was now.
Peter was almost ready to say he can do it.. but Fae canât lie and twisting the truth sounded almost monsterous.
Peter appeared from the shadows as if he had been there the whole time and not intervened. The boy looking at Tom, âgo somewhere and shift laddie.. your guise is not going to hold.â Peter could care less of the roaring in his face or the threats to come from an order as he held his ear.
Still he walked forward, expression almost grim. Heâd not seen such an injury in a long time.. the wing lay there and Peter tried to force his magic. Winter was not in his favor, but usually he was able to try⌠but nothing. There was no reaction, the wing almost seemed to reject reconnection⌠nothing reattached..
âThis is very unnatural, like that thing is. There is no hope.. the only one that may reattach it is the HABIT..â Peter looked at the wing, feeling itâs cooling and stiffening membrane. â⌠I canât reattach it, it will not take my magic like before.â Peter looked at Devrim, âIâm sorry, Devrim.â It was a genuine apology⌠Peter tried what he could.. but all he could provide was some warmth that helped melt the pain.
Even if they did get the wing attached, there may be much less hope he could fly. The other wing would look less mangled and actually fixed but Pan was convinced that the nerves and everything were severed and he couldnât flyâŚÂ â Habit grounded him no matter whatâŚâ Peterâs words from what felt like years before returned, only with truth, âhe will never fly againâŚâ He looks down as if ashamed..
Tom deserved his wings cut, not this little one. Peter had hated Devrim.. but even he wouldnât have done this to a dragon⌠itâd be to cruel⌠to heartless even for the most heartless boy. âIâm sorry, DevrimâŚâ He muttered again.Â
The words of the others, even his fatherâs, seemed to dance around in the background of the milk-like fog that clouded Devrimâs mental state as he sobbed, hugging that wing to his chest.. until
âYouâre Sorry?!!â he finally shot out, uncharacteristically angry for Devrim, at least visibly. âMy FUCKING WING IS GONE!! YOUâRE SORRY?!!!â
âHow many times did you joke about this?! How many times did you threaten this YOURSELF, Pan?!! YOUâRE NOT SORRY..â Devrim got up and hurled his wing across the room to Harry, as streams of tears continued to fall from his eyes. âYou WANTED THIS! YOUâVE WANTED ME DEAD SINCE I WAS BORN!! I NEVER DID ANYTHING!!! I ... NEVER ... DID ANYTHING!!!!â
With that, Devrim moved his tongue up to his venom shoots just behind his front teeth. With a whip of his head, that clearly defied and eliminated the effect of the guise, Devrim moved like a dragon with a speed that was shocking, and shot a stream of his most highly acidic venom right at him.
