I want to recommend the Academy fanfic : 'In the Midst of the Unconventional (An Academy Fanfiction)' by ada_meyers_. It even just got updated recently!

XxXxXxXx

By the way, this chapter might paint the Toma Team in a bad light. Don't worry, it will get better.

XxXxXxXx

Could someone give me names of Academy Elders please? I need it for the next chapter.

North

I was cooking in the kitchen back at the Diner when Sang Baby ran in looking all flustered.

For the couple of days we all had met Sang, I had never seen her like this. Her walls were down and you could see everything she'd been through. Her eyes sung stories with sad endings, I wanted to wrap her in a blanket and tell her she'd be safe forever. Something must have scared her a lot for it to have this reaction.

I put my hand around her waist to stop her running around, "Sang Baby, what's wrong?"

She looked at desperately, "I have to go. Where is my bag?"

I handed it to her, "What's happening, Baby? Talk to me."

Sang shook her head, "There is no time. Something at work come here and I need to head out now before they catch up with me."

I let her go, "Okay, go! The bathroom is that way if you need to change."

Baby smiled, "Thanks North, see you soon."

She disappeared, leaving me in her wake. Sang Baby reappeared in her all black outfit. Does you just lug that thing around just in case? I simply watch as she creeps out without attracting anybody's attention. Soon, she's gone.

What the fuck just happened?

I see Marc and Brandon getting into it with Uncle and Luke. Knowing a fight is going to break out, I encouraged the people inside the Diner to leave. When everyone was gone, I locked the front door and put the closed sign up. I turn back just in time to see Brandon clock Luke right in the nose. I take out my phone and red-line my brothers. I know this is about Sang Baby and we all need to be here to defend her.

I rush over and shove Brandon off my brother, "What the fuck, Brandon?!"

Marc helps him get up, "Sorry, he just got annoyed with Luke."

I take a threatening step towards them, "That doesn't give you the right to hurt my brother."

Uncle walks between us, "Calm down, boys. I'm sure that this can be solved in a calm way."

Brandon defends himself, "That bird you are protecting is a murderer."

I see red and punch him right in the face. I had the same reaction when I met Sang Baby, but she's not that way. He has no right to judge our bird. I won't let him get her, not under my watch or that of my brother's. That is one thing we will agree on. Though we have barely even met Sang Baby, she's family.

Marc gets in my face, "What the fuck, North?"

Luke walks up besides me, "He had it coming."

Gone is my usual carefree laid-back brother in his place remains only seriousness. Lucian might not seem scary, but if someone hurts family, shit is going to hit the fan. Uncle seems torn about how to deal with us. Our family isn't usually like this, but neither is the Toma Team.

Brandon holds his bleeding nose, "That bird is with the Albanian Mob and is one of the worst of them. And you just let her get away!"

That's it! He's asking for a fight and a fight he will get. No one insults our Sang Baby. I lunge forward and knock Brandon flat on his back. I don't want to cause too much damage. Their family and mine are usually very close, basically family. I see Luke and Marc facing off. Uncle is trying to stop us, but his heart isn't in it. One thing that Marc and Brandon haven't noticed is that we are only stalling them to make sure Sang Baby has enough time to escape and not be caught.

At one point, the four of us are circling each other when we hear our family arrive. Mr. B, I mean Owen comes out first to see us fighting. I stop as he arrives, relaxing automatically. Brandon and Marc look relieved at his abrupt arrival as well. Uncle does too. Did someone else call him as well? Probably Uncle

Owen came in looking his usual blank faced self though his mask slipped for a tiny second when he noticed Sang missing, "What is going on here?"

Marc looks relieved at his arrival, "Your Team just attacked us and letting a murderer get away."

Owen's eyes hardened, "Who was this so-called murderer?"

I approach him and whisper, "Sang."

He looked pissed now, "Where is she?"

Owen was glaring at Marc, Brandon and Uncle. I felt a sliver of pity for them, Owen Blackbourne is one scary fucker. I hadn't wanted to move here from Greece, but one glare from him and all of the sudden I was on a plane. 

Brandon tried to seem confident, "They stopped us from pursuing her."

He nodded looking pleased, "As they should."

Now, they looked confused, "She killed people."

Kota who was next to Owen spoke up, "You don't anything and if you know what's good for you, you will drop it and leave her alone."

Several things have changed since we were sixteen. For one, Owen's father was found and killed. He had fled the country after murdering his wife and Owen was able to prove that it was him. The FBI finally found him and he resisted arrest which led to his death. So, at 19 years old, Owen Blackbourne took charge of his father's millionaire company. With his different investments in the stock market, Owen was in control of several other companies as well. This made him an even more dangerous man to fuck with. The next year we also found traces of corruption within the Academy. So, we began to rely on them less and ourselves more. We are one of the Academy Teams that has the most freedom to do what we wish. 

In short, to piss off Owen Blackbourne is to ask for everything you love and have to be taken away from you. He is powerful enough to do that. Our family is careful enough to not let the Academy know exactly how much power Owen has which leads to us faking a need for it. But Uncle and the Toma Team know more than others.

Owen still glaring at them said, "That bird is under our protection and if you touch a hair on her head, you will regret it."

Uncle semi-whispered to Marc and Brandon, "Is your mission that important to go against him?"

They shake their head, "Sorry, Mr. B. If you don't mind us asking, who is she to you?"

Owen tells them, "She is my girlfriend, but if this information gets out, I will blame you."

Unfortunately, now that everything was semi-solved, their Team decided to arrive. This is going to be interesting and not in a good way. Axel might not take us beating up his brothers very well. Brandon's nose was still bleeding and might be broken. Marc has a rapidly appearing black eye. This is not going to go over very well with their Team Lead.

Axel took in the scene, "What the hell is going on?"

I mutter under my breath to Silas, "Οι αδελφοί σας είναι ηλίθιοι, αυτό συμβαίνει." (Your brothers are being idiots, that is what's happening.)

Silas says back, "Είναι τραγούδι εντάξει?" (Is Sang okay?)

I nod, "Οι Marc και Brandon την τρομοκρατούσαν και την έκαναν να αποφασίσει να επιστρέψει στο αφεντικό της. Δεν ξέρω γιατί." (Marc and Brandon spooked her and made her decide to go back to her Boss. I don't know why.)

Owen replied to Axel, "Your brothers were just concerning themselves with something they should stay out of."

But Axel isn't one to back down, "And that included injuring them!"

I shrug, "They were insulting family."

Marc defends himself, "They stopped us from apprehending the suspect."

Gabe bristles at this information, "Trouble is not a goddamn suspect."

Brandon shoots back, "She's killed people."

I glare at them, "So have you, so has Crow. You all have as well. You don't see us trying to hunt you down."

Crow speaks up, "Who hurt my brothers?"

I scowl and attempted to answer but Owen cut me off, "None of your business. Now, I would appreciate it that we all can go our separate ways and forget about this incident. I would also suggest you leave that bird alone if you know what's good for you."

Axel steps forward, "Is that a threat?"

Owen steps up to this challenge, "It's a promise, Mr. Toma. No one hurts my family and that bird is that."

Tension was running high when Uncle intervened, "Boys, calm your horses. I am sure that this is all a big misunderstanding. It might be better for both parties to go their separate ways. Wouldn't that be nice?"

Marc spits at us, "You are defending a killer."

Brandon adds, "There is no use to defending that blond bitch."

Owen was about to get into a fight, so Sean went to hold him back, "You should shut up right about now."

I notice that Crow and Corey paled at the mention of a killing blond bird. Maybe that's what spooked Sang. Brandon and Corey do look alike. She might have confused them. Or it might be whatever they are working on right now that made them want to pursue Sang.

Corey speaks up, "I agree with them guys. Leave the bird alone, she hasn't done anything to you."

His brothers looked at him strangely and Axel questioned him, "Is there something you know that you aren't telling us?"

Crow defended his lover, "License him alone."

Corey corrects him, "Leave, you meant leave."

Kota suggests, "Given that everyone is agreeing, can we leave the topic of the bird in the past?"

Marc shakes his head, "We should report her to the Academy."

Owen stiffens, "Do that and you will have her blood on your hands."

Crow disagreed, "No, Marc!"

Axel sighed, "I won't fight a battle on two fronts. We'll back off on the subject now."

Brandon seethes, "She's with the Albanians."

Corey informed us, "There will be an Academy raid on the Albanian Mob home base. I thought you might want to know."

I curse, "SHIT!"

Gabe joins me, "Fuck, Trouble will be there!"

Marc smirks, "Serves her right."

I slam him against the wall, I am so done with his bullshit, "She didn't have a choice and you are condemning her to death!"

Sean took control of the conversation, "Here is a compromise. That bird is dear to my family. How about you leave her alone and we forget this conversation? At a later time, we will fully explain to you everything, but right now that would put you in danger as well."

Axel nods, "Fair enough. I don't want our families to fight."

Owen is still glaring at them, "If she dies, there will be problems."

I accompany the group outside where Corey asks me, "What's happening?"

I tell them grimly, "That bird is Owen's girlfriend and he will reign holy Hell on anyone who hurts her."

Axel lets out a grim laugh, "We're going to do as agreed. This conversation never happened and we will try to not let this affect our relations."

I scowl, "If the bird is hurt, our family will be out for blood. Consider this a friendly warning and my debt to you repaid."

He nods, "It is now."

I watch them walk off as Uncle joins me outside, "They are arguing inside."

I grunt, "I know."

He turns to me, "What is the story with Sang?"

I shake my head, "I can't tell you, Uncle. It would put her in danger."

Uncle asked, "Isn't she already?"

I sigh, "I hope for the Academy and the world that no one touches a hair on her head. We are not a family to be messed with and she is the heart of our leader."

Uncle leans against the wall and takes out a cigarette, "Holy shit. . ."

Word Count: 2214

This chapter is more confusing than some of my others. I tried to hint at other things in motion, but I might have lost some of you. Here is a simpler explanation: Marc and Brandon were sent as scouts to the Albanian Mob before there was a raid. They had seen Sang without a mask and most likely saw her kill. The Academy is slightly corrupt which means that the Blackbourne Team no longer have faith in their system. Their gang mission was supposed to be their last one with them. Owen on the other hand is powerful and smart. If you ask why he hasn't saved Sang if he was so powerful, the reason is first off, Don would not give Sang up and the Albanian Mob is too volatile/violent.

If you need more clarifications, just ask!
