At camp

    Justin and Massimo both kept each other in check throughout the day whenever they saw Derek, even if both wanted to kill him. Along with everyone else in that group. Surprisingly, Nico was the calmest. Finally, it was time to move out.

At the warehouse (In the morning before Derek left)

    Javier continued pulling at the restraints, he has been since he got there. He was worried about his teammates, especially Ester. he heard a noise and looked up to see a smirking Derek. Javier glared,

    "YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHERE ARE THEY?!"

    Derek smirked,

    "Oh sweet Javier. Don't worry, they are all fine...especially Ester. Oh my god, she was amazing,"

    Javier's eyes darkened,    

    "What do you mean?"

    Derek smirked,

    "Oh nothing...damn you do not know what you missed out pal,"

    Javier glared darkly. Derek chuckled and stroked his cheek,

    "Let's just say, Ester will be sore for a while,"

    Javier's eyes widened,

    "You sick fuck!"

    Derek smirked,

    "Oh, but I have an even better idea!"

    Javier watched in horror as Ester was carried in by him,

    "ESTER!"

    Ester looked weakly at Javier and smiled,

    "Javier,"

*************************************

    Derek slapped her,

    "No. Only look at me baby girl,"

    Ester stared at Derek and he smirked before moving them to the bed that was in front of Javier. Derek smirked and looked at Javier,

    "Are you ready for a show?"

    Javier looked horrified as he saw Derek strip in front of him and Ester. He smirked at Ester,

    "Now, baby girl. You know what daddy wants,"

    Ester took off her dress and Derek stared at her hungrily while Javier closed his eyes. Derek smirked at Javier,

    "Oh Javier, you better watch close if you want your friends to survive this,"

    Javier opened his eyes slowly and saw Derek kissing Ester, he felt anger in him and pulled at the chains harder. Ester moaned as Derek kissed down her neck, that was when Javier saw all of the hickeys that covered her lower neck. he felt sick to the stomach. Derek smirked,

    "Now baby girl, I want you to look at Javier and moan his name when I make you feel pleasured,"

    Ester nodded,

    "Yes, daddy,"

    Ester looked at Javier and Javier felt like he was punched, her eyes were bloodshot and looked like she's been crying. Ester moaned as Derek massaged her chest and kissed down her neck and chest. She kept on looking at Javier the whole time and Javier felt like he was being stabbed. Then the worst thing happened. Derek lined himself up and slammed into her. She screamed out and Javier felt like he couldn't move, he felt like he was drowning. She moaned out,

    "Javiiieer,"

    Javier felt sick to the stomach as he watched Derek repeatably slam into her, he felt like he was going to puke every single time Ester moaned out his name. He wanted to close his eyes and not listen to the skin touching skin. He may not be a virgin, but this was the worst thing he could ever see, worse than all the battle scenes, worse than amputated limbs, worse than any nightmare. He was witnessing his best friend getting raped again...and he couldn't do anything to stop it. Derek smirked,

    "Come for me baby girl, come for Javier,"

    Ester moaned and the two released together and Javier winced. Derek smirked at him,

    "I bet you want to feel her, touch her. But she is and will always be mine,"

    Javier shook his head,

    "She is my best friend, I would never,"

    He saw the weak smile on Ester's face and Derek rolled his eyes,

    "Now, where's the fun in that?"

**************************************

    Derek looked at Ester and smirked,

    "Hate to break this reunion. But I got work. So I'll just leave her in here, do as you please,"

    He chained Ester's legs and then left. Javier finally looked at Ester again and she started crying. Javier tugged at his chains and felt like he was dying. He looked at Ester,

    "Hey hey. Ester, it's gonna be alright,"

     Ester shook her head,

    "It's not...Javier...he took my virginity,"

    Javier felt even worse and he looked at her,

    "Hey, look at me, Ester,"

    Ester refused to make eye contact with him. Javier sighed and desperately called out to her,

    "Star,"

     Ester looked at him and saw his sadness,

    "Yeah?"

    Javier made sure he kept eye contact,

    "That bastard will never escape from us. We will get him back,"

     Ester shook her head,

    "He has our phone Jav. He has our phones,"

    Javier looked at her in horror. He pulled at his chains,

    "Listen to me. I will get us out of here okay? We make an amazing team,"

      Ester looked up at him again and smiled sadly at him,

    "Jav...I...I wanted to save,"

    Javier nodded and wanted to hug her so badly,

    "I know amo...I know. But listen. You have us, we are your family amiga. We will never look at you any other way,"

     Ester teared up,

    "My twin,"

    Javier shook his head,

    "Massimo loves you as much as I love you....uh vice versa,"

    He smiled proudly when she laughed. Javier nodded at her,

    "Now come on Star, let's escape, old fashioned way,"

     Ester looked at him in confusion before her whole face brightened up,

    "He stupidly put bobby pins in my hair!"

    Javier laughed and smiled,

    "Yesss take them out and give them to me,"

     Ester took them out of her hair and expertly threw them towards Javier and he caught them. He quickly picked the lock of the handcuffs and stood up before rubbing his swollen wrists and ankles. He immediately ran to Ester and got her ankles free without touching her body, she was still naked. Javier took off his shirt and Ester frowned,

    "Jav-"

    Javier shook his head,

    "Shut up,"

     Ester chuckled a small chuckled and Javier helped her put it on before giving her his pants. Ester smirked at him,

    "You sure you are comfy escaping in only your boxers?"

    Javier shrugged,

    "I can deal with the laughter of everyone, I mean...I ran around base naked that one time."

     Ester smiled softly and Javier turned his back to her and nodded at her,

    "Now get on, we gotta speed run this shit,"

     Ester laughed softly and slowly got on his back as he held her softly by the thighs to make sure she doesn't fall backward from the piggyback ride. He slowly left the room before nodded at her,

    "Okay, gimme your best guess at where Nikki is,"

     Ester looked and nodded at the room from across them,

    "In there,"

    Javier shrugged before kicking down the door skillfully with Ester still on his back. They gasped when they saw Nikki with a deep cut on her forehead. Nikki looked up and smiled hugely,

    "Ester! Javier!"

    Javier smiled,

    "Your knights have arrived to save you,"

    They laughed. Nikki immediately knew something was wrong with Ester, especially since she was wearing Javier's clothes. Nikki nodded at her restraints,

    "Get me the fuck outta here,"

    Javier smirked and gently placed Ester on the bed so he can undo Nikki's restraints. Nikki immediately hugged Ester and rubbed her back,

    "I know,"

    Ester let one tear escape and smiled weakly at her,

    "We gotta get outta here,"

    Nikki smirked and looked at Javier,

    "Oh, I can not wait to see what everyone else says about Javier being almost naked,"

    The two girls laughed while Javier grumbled. He picked Ester up again and they ran out of the room.

With New Zion

    Liam stopped the car right in front of the warehouse that Derek brought them to. Liam nodded at Jax,

    "Okay, you take out Derek....uh don't kill him,"

    Jax scoffed and sighed but nodded,

    "Fine."

    They split up as soon as they got inside. Jax went to where he saw Derek go and Liam, Troy, and Peter went the other way. The first door they got to they saw Billy. Billy looked up and was confused at seeing the young team,

    "What?"

    Liam smirked,

    "We are here to save your asses again,"

    Billy chuckled and smirked,

    "This, I can get used to."

    Peter picked the lock of his chains and Liam helped Billy up,

    "Come on, we got five more people to save,"

    Billy frowned,

    "I don't know where everyone is,"

    Troy nodded,

    "It's okay, we got time to find them,"

    Billy glared at his hands,

    "That bitch caught us by surprise,"

    Peter nodded,

    "Yeah, we know,"

    Billy smiled sadly at them. They then found Damion passed out. Billy ran to him and shook him. Damion grumbled and opened his eyes and smiled hugely,

    "BILLY!"

    He went to hug him but remembered the restraints,

    "Yo. Get me outta these stupid things,"

    Billy chuckled and broke them before helping him up. Damion smiled at the three kids,

    "Our heroes once again. I hope you don't expect special treatment,"

    They laughed. Troy smirked,

    "We sure do,"

    Damion nodded,

    "I vaguely remember hearing Quin cursing down the hall, we gotta get him,"

    They nodded and quickly ran to the hall and went into the room and found Quin glaring at his restraints. He looked up and smiled,

    "Guys!"

    Damion smiled and helped him get the restraints off. Troy helped him walk and Quin frowned,

    "Where is everyone else?"

    Peter sighed,

    "They must be deeper inside,"

    Liam nodded,

    "And uh...guys?"

    Damion, Quin, and Billy looked at him. Liam sighed,

    "Uh..Ester is not gonna be in the best mind,"

    Damion growled,

    "What do you mean?"

    Peter looked down,

    "He raped her,"

    Damion clenched his fist,

    "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch. Guys we gotta hurry no moping Quin get the fuck out of Troys hold you big baby. We gotta act fast,"

    The three cadets looked and were awestruck by how serious and fast the three soldiers ran down the compound. They quickly ran after them. Damion yelled out when he saw Nikki, Javier, and Ester,

    "GUYS!"

    Damion pulled Nikki into a hug which ended up in a huge group hug of the six of them. Ester looked at them in confusion,

    "How did you guys get out?"

    Damion smirked,

    "What? You think we need you to do everything for us? We are big bad men,"

    Quin smirked,

    "Liam, Troy, and Peter found us,"

     Ester's eyes brightened,

    "Liam?"

    The five laughed as their commander smiled at the thought of her 'son' found them. Thats when Liam, Peter, and Troy caught up to them. Liam smiled in relief when he saw the three. He ran up to Javier,

    "Mom!"

    Everyone was shocked by the word that came out of his mouth so smoothly as Ester jumped out of Javier's hold and into his arms, she was still a little weak but found strength in seeing her second family. She smirked at him,

    "How did you find us?"

    Liam blushed and Troy smirked,

    "With a little help,"

    Peter smiled but then remembered that Jax was alone with Derek. He winced,

    "Uh, we should go back to the car and hope that Jax is there,"

     Ester frowned,

    "What happened?"

    Liam blushed,

    "Uh...we kinda let Jax go off to capture Derek even if he is pissed off at him."

    Damion sighed,

    "I swear, if I don't get to kill that bastard,"

    Ester slapped his shoulder,

    "It's fine okay? Let's just get outta this hell hole,"

    Ester was fine with walking now, she was limping a bit but she was fine. Jax was waiting outside with Derek rolled up with duct tape everywhere but his nose. Ester burst into laughter,

    "Oh my god,"

    Everyone laughed and Jax smirked proudly,

    "I didn't kill him,"

    Damion high fived him,

    "My dude!"

    Jax laughed and hugged them all,

    "I missed you,"

    They smiled and Liam smirked,

    "Now, we gotta head back before Nico and Xavier have a fit,"

    They laughed again and got into the car, Everyone laughed when they first saw Javier without clothes but then Liam gave him a sweater and pants. They didn't talk about what happened with Ester and why she was wearing Javier's clothes. They all knew what happened. But she was smiling right now, and that's all that mattered to them in the moment.

At tennis

    Nico and Xavier were waiting outside with Massimo, they were anxiously waiting for the teams to come back. Nico looked at Massimo,

    "Is it alright if I talk to her alone?"

    Massimo looked at him and sighed,

    "Yeah, just please help her,"

    Nico smiled sadly and nodded,

    "I will,"

    Xavier put a hand on his shoulder,

    "Are you sure about this Nico?"

    Nico nodded,

    "Yes, she helped me. I want to return the favor."

    Soon, the car finally came and everyone stepped out. Massimo immediately ran to his twin and pulled her into a tight hug,

    "I'm so happy that you're safe,"

     Ester smiled sadly at him and hugged him back,

    "I love you,"

    Massimo smiled,

    "I love you too,"

    After the hugs and smiles were exchanged, Nico walked away with Ester into a room. Everyone stared at each other. Nikki looked at Javier,

    "What happened?"

    Javier teared up and everyone looked at him in shock. Javier rubbed his eyes,

    "Uh. He dragged her into my room that I was locked in...and he uh. He...he raped her...in front of me...and I couldn't do anything I never felt so useless,"

    Their hearts broke at the broken look Javier had on his face. Nikki pulled him into a hug as he cried into her shoulder, Damion, Quin, and Billy joined the hug and they all mourned together as a family. Jax glared at the car,

    "I shoulda punched him harder,"

    Massimo looked at the car,

    "Uh, where is he?"

    Liam smirked,

    "In the trunk. We are gonna take him back to Chicago with us, Shadis wants a go at him,"

    Damion cracked his knuckles,

    "Oh, I do too,"

    Nikki glared at the trunk,

    "I call dibs,"

    Jax smirked,

    "Of course,"

With Nico and Ester

    The second Nico closed the door, Ester burst into tears again. Nico immediately sat down next to her and brought her into a tight hug. Ester cried,

    "Ni-Nico...he...he...he did stuff to me,"

    Nico soothingly ran his hands up and down her back,

    "Shhh...I know...I know,"

    Ester sniffed,

    "I...I wanted to wait,"

    Nico nodded,

    "I know it hurts,"

    Ester nodded,

    "I-I can still feel his...his hands on me Nee...it was horrible..and..and he told me if I didn't do what he says, that he would hurt my team...I couldn't let him do that if I could change it...he..he used me...more than once. God, I lost track,"

    Nico teared up and hugged her tighter,

    "That monster can't hurt you anymore. You have all of us standing in anyone's way."

     Ester sighed,

    "I don't think I can ever have it again without thinking about him,"

    Nico shook his head,

    "No. Don't let him steal something so intimate from you. So many people lose their virginity to random people. Okay? It does not make you any less of the hero or soldier or sister or mother. And by mother, I'm talking about Liam,"

     Ester chuckled and smiled softly. Nico smirked,

    "And hey, I had sex one more time like with an ex a year or so ago, it was fine,"

     Ester cringed,

    "Too much info Nee."

    Nico smirked even wider,

    "And hey, I'm sure Javier would be down for a trial,"

      Ester burst into laughter at the ongoing joke and shoved the laughing younger boy,

    "Oy. You shut that mouth boy,"

    Nico laughed even harder and Ester chuckled,

    "Javier is my best friend, I am NOT having sex with him,"

    Nico smirked,

    "Why not? Friends with benefits,"

     Ester gasped and shoved him even harder as he laughed louder. Ester rolled her eyes,

    "I am disowning you as my kid,"

    Nico pouted teasingly,

    "Oh come on mum, don't be like that,"

      Ester and Nico shared a look before bursting into laughter. Ester smiled softly at him and hugged him gently,

    "Thank you Nee,"

    Nico smiled proudly,

    "You saved me, I wanted to return the favor,"

     Ester smiled. Then she smirked and nudged him,

    "Soooo, anyone you like?"

    Nico immediately blushed and glared at her,

    "We are not talking about me! What about Justin?!"

     Now it was Ester's turn to blush. Nico smirked and Ester rolled her eyes,

    "Yeah yeah, whatever. But what is their name at least?"

    Nico smiled gently,

    "Aster...he is in the army too...and I know it's not the wisest choice to like someone in the army, but like he is so adorable and cool...and he makes me laugh all the time,"

      Ester smiled softly and pulled him into a side hug and smirked at him,

    "Go for it Nee, you never know!"

    Nico sighed,    

    "I don't know if he is bi or gay though,"

     Ester shrugged,

    "Only one way to find out,"

    Nico blushed and smiled confidently and nodded,

    "Alright. I will do it...but only if you agree to spend more time with Justin...I know he makes you happy,"

     Ester blushed and smirked at him before locking hands,

    "You got yourself a deal little Nee,"

    Nico rolled his eyes,

    "I'm only two years younger than you,"

     Ester smirked,

    "Two years is two years kid,"

    Nico sighed and nodded,

    "Let's get outside. I need to get back to Chicago with the rest of my team."

      Ester smirked lazily at him,

    "Why? Gotta confess to someoen?"

    Nico blushed even more. They left the room and everyone looked up at them and smiled at the vibrant smile on Ester's face and the blush on Nico's face. Jax smirked,    

    "Awww, is baby Nico blushing,"

    Nico blushed even more as he punched Jax's arm,

    "Shut-up,"

    Everyone laughed more. Nico smiled and nodded at everyone signaling that she is alright. Everyone smiled in relief. Massimo swung an arm around his twin's shoulder,

    "So, you gonna be staying with me or those losers?"

    Javier glared playfully at Massimo,    

    "Hey! If anything, you are the loser,"

    They laughed again. Liam hugged Ester and she ruffled his hair,

    "We gotta get you kids back to the jet with that devil, tell Shadis that we need new phones,

    Liam nodded,

    "Yes, mother,"

    Xavier smirked and ruffled Liam's hair,

    "Mama's boy,"

     Ester raised an eyebrow at him,

    "What did you say X?"

    Xavier blushed and scratched the back of his neck,

    "Nothing mom,"

      Ester nodded and smirked at his slip up too. Xavier blushed,

    "Uh. Okay let's go guys,"

    The Blazing Dragon Squad laughed at the New Zion team. The younger team soon left after waving at the older squad again. Ester smiled softly as they left. Nikki smirked proudly,

    "We did a good job with them,"

      Ester smiled and nodded,

    "Yes, we did,"

      Ester wanted to stay with her team, she felt safer with them. They were shocked when they entered their apartment, it was decked out in new furniture and a brand new tv. Ester looked around and saw a note on the table. Ester nodded at her teammates and they crowded around her:

Guys, I'm so sorry for what happened. I wish I could have been more helpful, Ester, I really do. Quin, I feel horrible about not knowing it wasn't you texting me that night, I should have known when you were a bigger flirt than usual. Guys, I hope you can forgive all of us for being so stupid. You guys are my friends now, Ester has been for years. I hope you love your new furniture, we didn't touch your rooms.

Love, Lee, Alexa, Nicholas, and Alesia

I wanted to say sorry for everything. It's my fault that D**** went after you guys. I'm so sorry. I know that you will probably hate my guts after knowing this and I'm just so sorry about all of this. D**** hates my guts because of something that went on in high school and I didn't know it was the same guy. So yeah...again I am so sorry. I hope you like the new furniture and tv! I'm sorry

From, Justin

    The group looked at Ester as she read the small note from Justin. She looked up at them and they frowned at seeing her sad eyes,

    "He blames himself for what happened,"

    Javier put a hand on her shoulder,

    "He shouldn't,"

     Ester nodded,

    "Yeah...uh...I should...I should find him, right??"

    Nikki smiled softly,

    "Do you want to?"

     Ester nodded and grabbed the note,

    "Oh wait,"

    She looked down and blushed,

    "Totally should change,"

    They all burst into laughter before Ester rushed into her room and got changed quickly and race to the door. Javier smirked,

    "You forgetting something else?"

      Ester looked down at her feet and facepalmed,

    "Shoes,"

    They laughed at her and she glared at them. Quin smirked,

    "So, how you gonna find lover boy?"

     Ester stopped and facepalmed,

    "Oh...yeah,"

    They all laughed at her as she pouted. She smiled,

    "Mass will know!"

    Quin, Damion, Billy, Javier, and Nikki shared an amused smile as they watched her look for her non-existent phone. She cursed,

    "Forgot about that,"

    Javier laughed,

    "Do you know where he lives?"

      Ester frowned,

    "Why would I?"

    Nikki rolled her eyes,

    "Cuz you love this dude,"

     Ester shoved her and they laughed at her again. Billy smiled,

    "Just go ask your twin,"

     Ester shrugged and nodded,

    "Alrighhht...Oh wait! I think I know where he is!"

    They laughed again as they watched her run out. Damion smiled,

    "I'm happy that she isn't afraid of her feelings for that idiot,"

    Javier smiled,

    "She is very strong,"

    Nikki nodded,

    "Yeah. She is,"

With Ester

      Ester ran inside the small park and smiled when she saw Justin. He was looking down at his hands on a bench. Ester smiled softly and walked quietly up to him. She smiled down at him,

    "Excuse me sir, is this seat taken?"

    Justin shot up and looked at Ester,

    "Ester!"

    He pulled her into a hug and Ester laughed and hugged him back. Then he realized the situation and let go of her and frowned in guilt,

    "Ester, I-"

     Ester put a hand on his shoulder,

    "Justin...it's not your fault,"

    Justin shook his head,

    "N-no...it is my fault. He wanted to get back at me for something and he took you and your team! It's all my fault,"

    He plopped down into the chair and buried his face into his hands as guilt washed over him. Ester sighed sadly and sat down next to him and pulled him into a side hug,

    "Justin, I don't blame you...nor does anyone on my squad. You couldn't possibly know any of this was gonna happen."

    Justin sighed and looked at her,

    "How are you?"

     Ester sighed and shrugged,

    "I...Uh...I'll be fine...it might take a bit to heal from stuff but I have my team, my friends, my family....and uh...I have you,"

    They made eye contact and Justin felt butterflies in his stomach. Justin smiled softly and put a hand over hers,

    "Ester, I will always be here for you as long as I can,"

      Ester smiled and felt a weird, good, feeling inside. She squeezed his hand,

    "Thanks, Justin,"

    Justin smiled and squeezed her hand back,

    "You're welcome Ester,"

    Ester decided to honor her promise to Nico, she nudged him,

    "Come on, I want ice cream,"

    Justin laughed,

    "The first time back from being kidnapped and you want ice cream?"

     Ester pouted,

    "Come onnnnnn...Ice cream is AMAZING. It's rude to not honor the wish of a recently escaped kidnappee."

    They both burst into laughter and Justin held out his arm as he stood up,

    "Come on, let's get some ice cream,"

      Ester's eyes brightened and she hooked arms with him and walked to get ice cream together.
