Chapter 12.
Katherine's POV.
As I was walking down the sidewalk, I realized that it was starting to get dark outside. I kept walking until I ended up in a really dark space between two apartments. I got scared fast. Then I heard two sets of footsteps coming towards me. I hid behind the nasty dumpster and ducked.
"Are you sure she is here?" I heard a boy say.
"Positive! We haven't been tracking her for weeks for nothing!" Another boy said.
"Well, this alley is obviously empty." The first boy said.
"I know she's here. She is the key to getting the locations of all the superheroes." The second one explained.
"I know that much." The first one said.
"Then help me find her!" The second one yelled.
I heard them start throwing stuff around and I held my breath. Then after a few minutes, it got quiet. I let out a sigh of relief, then someone suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me out. I screamed in fear.
"Roman, I found her!" The first guy said.
He had brown hair in a ponytail and was holding tightly onto my arm.
"Well done Riker. Let's get her back to headquarters." Roman said.
He had black hair, also in a ponytail.
"Let me go! My daddy will stop you!" I yelled as I struggled against Riker's grip.
"I'm sure he will." Roman said, but he sounded like he wasn't serious.
"Let me go now!" I yelled.
"Can I hit the kid so she'll shut up?" Riker asked.
"No. We need her unharmed. For now." Roman said.
"My daddy will stop you." I said, very seriously.
"Sure he will." Roman said.
Then I was pushed into a subway station and locked in a cell.
"I'm too young for this!" I yelled as I grabbed at the door.
Roman and Riker left the room and I grabbed at the door again, trying to pull it off.
Selena's POV.
After I put Megan and Billy to bed, I started looking for Katherine. When I couldn't find her anywhere, I called Chase.
"Greetings. You've called Chase, the smartest man in the world. I'm not here, but if you'd like to leave a message for, Chase, the smartest man in the world, do it at the beep. And if you have figured that out by now, you are definitely not, the smartest man in the world."
I groaned at my husband's annoying voicemail.
"Chase, it's Selena. I need to talk to you ASAP. Also, you have had the same voicemail for 9 years. Change it. Bye."
Then I put the phone up. I went into our bedroom and saw that Billy and Megan were sleeping. I leaned down in the crib and sighed.
"Don't worry. Daddy will find your big sister. He is really good at finding people. He had to find me several times" I said quietly as I stroked Megan's tiny bit of brown hair.
After that, I went to bed. Even with how tired I was, I didn't sleep much not knowing where Katherine was.
Chase's POV.
4:15 am.
I was sleeping when I saw my phone light up. I got out of my capsule and listened to it.
"Chase, it's Selena. I need to talk to you ASAP. Also, you have had the same voicemail for 9 years. Change it. Bye."
I quickly made a mental note to change my voicemail later and called Selena. After the third ring she picked up.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Honey? What did you need to talk to me about?" I asked.
"Katherine got really upset when she found out you left and now...I can't find her. I've looked everywhere." Selena explained before I heard her start crying.
"Wait. Katherine is gone?!" I yelled.
"Yes!" Selena yelled.
"Alright. I'm leaving now." I said before hanging up.
I saw Kaz shift a bit in his sleep. I quietly snuck out, got in my car and drove to the house.
Selena's POV.
Megan woke up and had to be fed, so I was on the couch with her when I saw Chase pull into the driveway. I said Chase run into the house.
"Has she come back yet?" Chase asked.
I shook my head sadly.
"We have to find her. When did she leave?" Chase asked as we went down to the lab he built with Douglas.
The reason we have a lab in our basement (so original, I know) is because Chase and I are bionic, so we still need our capsules occasionally. Chase had hooked up a system to our bed so our bionics still got refreshed, but occasionally, Chase or I will start glitching majorly and we have to go to the capsules. Anyway, Chase also had two really nice consoles and he started looking for Katherine. We had put a mini GPS in her arm when she was little so we could track her down when needed. This was definitely one of those times. After a few hours, I heard Chase yell.
"Got it!"
"Well, where is my daughter?" I asked.
"In Centium city in the subway station at 128th street." Chase said.
"That means Roman and Riker have her." I realized.
"Yeah." Chase said quietly.
"We have to save her!" I yelled.
"No. I'll save her. You need to stay here with Billy and Megan." Chase explained.
"Alright. Stay safe. And bring our daughter home." I said as I hugged him.
Chase grabbed a bag and left the house. Then I heard Billy crying and I went to go comfort him.
Chase's POV.
I stopped my car right outside of the subway station and I went into it. I saw my daughter was in the cell that Skylar was in 9 years ago.
"Katherine!" I yelled.
"Daddy!" Katherine yelled.
Then I noticed the blue lines going down the door. Dang door had a electric perimeter.
"Honey? Are you hurt?" I asked.
"No." Katherine said.
I sighed in relief, but quickly got into a defense position as Roman and Riker came in, opened the door and pulled my daughter out. I ran towards them and Roman shot a wave of energy at me, knocking me to the ground.
"Daddy!" Katherine yelled as Riker held onto her arm.
I stood up slowly with a pulsing pain in my head and entire body.
"What do you want?" I demanded.
"The location of the remaining superheroes. We know you have it. Give it to us, and you get your daughter back without a scratch." Roman explained.
I pulled out a piece of paper.
"This is the list." I lied.
"Good." Riker said.
"Katherine first." I said.
"The list first." Roman said as I saw Riker squeeze her wrist tighter.
"No. You give me my daughter first, or you are not getting this list." I explained sternly.
Roman and Riker exchanged glances, then Riker shoved Katherine towards me. She ran to me and I hugged her tightly.
"You ok baby?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry I ran off." Katherine said while crying.
"It's ok Kit-Kat." I said as I let her go.
"The list. NOW." Roman said.
"Did you really think I would just give it to you? You guys are dumber then Adam." I said.
Roman and Riker fumed with madness before turning into a black cloud.
"Katherine run!" I yelled.
She nodded and ran but I saw the black cloud pick her up as it picked me up and it threw us into the wall. Luckily I never made a list. That's the last thing I remembered before I fell into darkness.
-Time skip-
When I came to, I noticed that my ankle was throbbing, maybe broken, but probably just sprained. I looked around and saw something that I never wanted to see.
"Katherine!" I yelled as I ran/limped towards my daughter and collapsed beside her.
She was soaked in blood, her right leg and left wrist were very twisted up. It almost made me sick to look at her. I picked her up as gently as I could and held her beside me. Then I pulled out my phone and called a ambulance. After I finished, I looked down at my daughter.
"It's gonna be ok Kit-Kat. You'll be ok." I said as tears started leaking out of my eyes and onto her bloody body.
I suddenly remembered the conversation Selena and I had the day she was born.
Flashback...
"Baby, it'll be alright. I'm scared about that also. And to be there for our child...I'm thinking about resigning from the elite force." I admitted, feeling like I was gonna start crying.
"Chase, your team needs you." Selena said.
"No they really don't. Skylar is more of a leader then I can be and Oliver, Kaz and Bree can handle themselves. They don't really need me." I explained, knowing it was true.
"Chase, you may not know, but you are the glue that holds them together. Without you, they fall apart." She explained as she started rubbing her stomach gently.
"I said I'm thinking about it. I didn't say my decision is final." I said as I kissed her cheek.
"Don't make it final until you decide that you will keep working with them." Selena laughed before laying down on my arm.
End of flashback...
I was ready to give up everything for our daughter. I knew I should've, but Selena wouldn't like that and neither would Katherine. Then I heard the sirens from outside of the subway station. I tried my hardest to get up the stairs while carrying Katherine, but that is very hard when you have a possibly broken ankle. I finally got up the stairs and my vision started fading in and out.
"Sir! Are you alright?!" A female asked.
"Look at that kid in his arms. It looks like maybe his daughter." A male said.
"Alright, let's get them both to the hospital." The female said.
I felt someone take my daughter out of my arms and someone put me on something that I had recognised as a stretcher. After I felt someone put a oxygen mask over my face, I fell back into darkness, but not before I said.
"How is my daughter?"
The song above is so amazing...I love it so much.
Over and out.
