Chapter Nineteen

-

Walking away the fortress, you three walked side by side. As always, you in the middle

"That was.. that was a rush" M exhaled out

"Yeah, incredibly painful" H said, rubbing his neck

"And extremely tiresome" You sighed

You and H's hand kept brushing with each other, but you awkwardly didn't give it much attention

You all walked in silence when H, who had enough, finally took your hand to his firmly as he looked forward

"Finally! I was so close to slamming your heads together!" Pawny shouted in victory as he fist pumped his arm up. M laughed at your red faces

"That took you guys so long" M pointed at the holding hands"At least I have Pawny to third-wheel beside me" she added making all of you laugh

"Right" you said

"About the plan.." H started

"Yeah, let's not talk about the plan thingy" you remembered how a much of success yet, a failure at the same time

"Pretty sure the plan went wrong in every conceivable way" Pawny said as he sat on your shoulder

"Yeah, Well. That's kinda true" M shrugged

"So, uh. It's Molly huh?" H started since he didn't know her name, unlike you.

"Only X was supposed to know that" M simply said

"Too late. I know it now. Wait. How did you know her real name?" H asked you

"Eh. I kinda met her when O recruited her. It was one hell of a ride" you commented, giving M a wink.

You gave her a thumbs up and squinted your thumb halfway, making her turn her head away with a groan

" Bzzz bzzz " you said

"I thought you forgot about that" M furrowed her brows at you in a non serious way

" So like. M didn't know what a neuralyzer is called and she had to call it a 'bzzz' 'bzzz' " you filled out to H and Pawny who shared laughs with you

"X! Come on. It was supposed to be between you and me only" she exclaimed

"Too late" you said as you shrugged"Wait, I need to know your real name" you turned to H

"Well, I suppose it's fair for you guys to know mine" H said

"Wait! You guys didn't know each others real name when you both dated?!" This time, it was M's turn to laugh hysterically

You turned red in embarrassment

"We didn't really care that much about names. We were contented with X and H. So that's that" H explained for you as he squeezed your hand gently, three times.

One gesture that two of you used to do in saying 'I love you'

Your heart melted, making you look at him lovingly but soon it was cut off by M calming herself

"Okay, tell us your name" M started as she looked at H for a brief second

"Okay. You guys ready?" H said

" Yup""Tell us""Spill" you, M and Pawny said

"Horatio" he announced with his free hand pinched, for effect

"You don't look like a Horatio" M responded shaking her head

"Please, Tell me it's not. I just dated someone with an old man's name" you laughed as Pawny snorted

"It is not. Although, I think I would just jump off the side, if that was my real name" H pointed to the side of the path they were walking on, a really steep mountain side.

"Okay. But for real, what's your name?" Pawny snorted out

"It's Henry" he said in all seriousness

"Yeah, you look like a Henry" M observed

"You undeniably look like it. It's cute" you shrugged with a smile

"Glad to know. It's all I've got" He said, smiling back at you

"How about you, My Queen?" Pawny asked, looking up to meet your eyes

"It's simple, really. Nothing more, nothing less." You answered, rubbing your thumb on H's fingers

"Don't tell me, you're a Karen? Not that the name is bad" M groaned out

"Nope, I'm a Y/n" you popped the 'p'

"The name is as beautiful as you" H said

"I need a neuralyzer" said M, who slapped her face

"haha. Funny" you said plainly

"So, are we not gonna mention that You and H didn't know each other's names?" Pawny pondered

"Nope""No, we're not" the two, who was holding hands, answered simultaneously

"Right" M hummed

"I'm Steve" Pawny or now, Steve, suddenly blurted

"I thought Pawns didn't have names?" You asked, turning your head to look down to your shoulder

"We don't, I was just feeling left out" Pawny confessed

"Oh, Steve" H sighed with a chuckle

"Well, we can pretend we don't know your name, so.. what's your name?" You didn't like leaving out people

"I'm not doing it. It's silly" Pawny said as he shook his head along with his arms

"Very well" you murmured as you looked forward, continued walking

"Hi guys, My name's Pawny" Pawny suddenly blurted happily after a silence

You laughed at him

"Nice meeting you, Pawny" M greeted, also laughing

"Great name you have there, bud" H gleefully said. Patting your back proudly at how you treated Pawny

"Oh, this feels nice. Thank you, all" he said, Smiling at the three of you

You all walked to the end of the path. The ground started moving, making you three look around in alarm. Pawny holding, not tightly, on your neck to not fall off

"Whoa! Whoa!" H removed his hand on yours and put it around your hips in a protecting manner

You three turned around, you all just had to stop above a cliff

"That is not cool" M breathed out

"So not cool!" you yelled out after dodging a rock going after your face

"I don't like what the earth is doing right now" M said in distressAs the entire ground around you four got ripped away

"I think mother nature is not on her good mood" you said, H's arm still around you

The three of you had your backs faced each other. You stood still in their middle, to not accidentally push one off.

You all watched as the Dyads from before, appeared

"They just had to come" you grumbled under your breath

"Kabla Nakshulin!" Pawny shouted, pushing his arms forward

You flinched when they teleported forward, closer to you all, who is clustered together

"That made it worse" You said to Pawny, muttering an 'oops'

"T'was worth a try" he shrugged his arm

H moving you behind him, he moved forward

"Why are you here?" You shouted at the two

"We must have the weapon, For the Hive" they said, walking to you three.

"I don't know if you've heard, but we are the Men in Black" H started inching towards them

He stopped for a second then corrected himself

"The Men and Women in Black" H looked back at you, M and Pawny with a huge smile and a thumbs up

M pursed her lips, nodding and raising a thumbs up at him

"Doing great, Hun!" You cheered raising two thumbs up

"Nice save" Pawny said,giving a thumbs up

"If you think we'll hand this over, you've got another think coming, you don't know who you're dealing with" H continued talking to them. They didn't even give a flipping care and kept on walking

"You see, we protect the Earth" H said at them

"And that means, Everyone and Everything in it" you continued.

Leaning towards M's ear you whispered,

" The box "

You looked beside you, seeing M try to activate the weapon but failing to do so

"You wanna do this? You wanna get down? Fine, let's go" H readied a fighting stance, raising both his fist up.

"How do you..?" M handed you the weapon as you easily powered it up, then giving it back to M. You weren't in the right mood to blast anything. Of course, every mood is the mood to blast but not now.

You saw the Dyads come to a halt upon seeing the  exposed weapon

"Move and I'll obliterate this entire island and everything on it" M warned, gritting ber teeth

"I thought we were meant to save the world and everything on it, not obliterate it" you countered, leaning to M as you say it

"Uh, you'll obliterate them including us, you don't think we should've spoken about this?" H backed to you and M

"We are  speaking about this right now" you gave him a look

"I just gave a whole speech. I mean, X, you did too, but the small part, you know" H exclaimed at the women

"I loved the speech" you commented as he nodded at you in appreciation

"Me too" M said but more on focusing on the Dyads, that the weapon is pointed to"We thought this would be more effective" M explained

"Which it did" you added. You were squished between the two hot people

"It's working" whispered, Pawny

"You heard me. Don't make me use it" M shouted to the Dyads

"We will and would do anything to protect our world!" You shouted at them

You three started walking towards them with the darkest glares, you all could ever make

"So will we." They responded, making the three of you stop

What?
