Silent Little Soldier

[text]: I’m doing great thanks!

[text]: I hope you are too Violet especially after what happened a few weeks ago

There tears hadn’t stopped falling, but with Tony’s gaze averted he risked a glance at Pierce. It was brief, he caught Violet’s eye on the way up, and couldn’t communicate a thing to her through his blind panic. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew that she might be able to save him, but Pierce was covered in blood and the point of Tony’s knife was rubbing against the skin on his stomach, and he couldn’t tell if it was sweat or blood welling against the tip— if it was blood, he wasn’t sure whose it was.

The kiss didn’t register right away but when it did Alois’ eyes flew open out of pure shock, his mouth being forced open against his will and he was going to throw up. He was going to throw up or impale himself on the goddamn knife if it meant getting him off; Alois did something else.

Her mouth was right against his ear. And she was purposely sighing. This was an intimate moment, “Do you know what my favorite thing about you is?” Right against skin the knife is pressed, “It’s the way you turn into a pathetic puppy when someone stronger than you challenges you. Oh my goodness. Look at your bloody lip! How the tables have turned.” This was the exact closure she needed. And her eyes show no remorse, “If you go near my brother again, I will kill you. Do you hear me? I will come for you and I will kill you. The police are on my side, baby. Can you feel that heat between us? Do you remember the awful things you said? That’s right. I never forgot it, Tony.”

What the—

And now, he’s being bitten in the lip, and he doesn’t hold back that pained scream, enough to cause him to smack the boy right across the face before he’s somehow being thrown, and harshly into the lockers, enough for him to grunt. That’s when it occurs to him, Violet Parr is doing this, and now, before he can fix himself, he’s drawn right against her, and the blade is taunting the skin of his neck. Like a dog with a tail between its legs, he’s shaking and afraid, “Yh-yhou’re—”

She wasn't going to take no for an answer. The knife was put in her pocket, and she grabbed both of his wrists to hold them behind him, "If you try anything, I'm going to use my powers against you. I want you to remember that the whole time." The minute they began walking towards the stairs she looked back one final time to look at Alois. The only thing she could do was give him an apologetic look because she knew that Tony was right. But no matter what, she would love Alois like a brother. Unconditionally.
