Son of the Monster - Chapter 4

cw: violence

'We need to send word out to the streets, that we are looking for Ogilvy.' Oswald tells Lili. 'But noone needs to know, that Ethan has woken up from the coma.'

'Alright Oswald, you can count on me.' Lili says then glances at Ethan. 'But I believe, the boy is owing me an apology.'

'Why would I?' Ethan asks.

'Exactly, why would he?' Oswald replies. Oh no, I hope Lili won't tell Oswald that we met Ethan before without his knowledge. He would be so mad!

'Because the previous time he was rude to me.' says Lili. 'Right, Sam?' Lili, no! What have you done?!

'Is this true, Son?'

Ethan then awkwardly looks away. 'Maybe.' he answers.

'Then, maybe, you should apologize.'

'Okay, sorry.' Ethan mumbles, his words are barely heard.

'Come again?' Oswald says.

'I'm sorry! For calling you an Oompa Loompa.'

'Not bad, for a start.' Lili says. She looks stern, but a smile starts forming at the corners of her lips.

'Who is she though?' Ethan asks Oswald.

'She is basically your aunt. And mind your manners around her, she could seriously mess you up.' Oswald says to which Lili smiles proudly. I'm still standing in silence, hoping that Oswald would forget to question me. 'Sam.' Well, I am not that lucky. 'Do you want to say something?'

'Uh, uhm… well...'

'Did you have a meet up with Ethan without me knowing?'

'Uhm...' I try to avoid answering but Oswald keeps staring at me waiting for an answer. 'Well… yes.' more than once in fact.

'Alright then.' he says. He doesn't look angry.

'Aren't you mad at me?' I ask carefully.

'I'm not happy about that you were acting behind my back, what was done was done. Anyway I already knew about your little plan, since how could a stranger know your phone number to call you about Ethan's injury?'

'Oh, uhm… okay, you got me there.'

'It's fine, Sam, I'm not going to bite your head for this.' he says then gives me a smile that says he is definitely going to bite me later in some way. 'Alright, my friends, I believe, all we have to do now is to wait for Ogilvy's next move.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It didn't take long for Ogilvy to respond to the call as one night he just appeared in front of the Iceberg Lounge. A giant, muscular man, with an odd, dark blue skin. Most of Oswald's best fighters, including Lili and Lark are all here and he is all alone, so we should have better chances, but what Oswald said about this guy concerns me.

~Oswald, are you sure we are enough to fight him off? I don't think we should use our powers in full potential in front of witnesses.~

~Don't worry Sam, Ethan said he has a plan.~

~If you say so.~ it surprises me how much faith he puts in Ethan.

'Hello, Oswald. Heard you were looking for me.' Ogilvy says with a smug smile on his face.

'Ogilvy. I would say nice to see you again but I don't want to lie to you.'

Ogilvy's face becomes sour at Oswald's remark. 'How is your bastard son? I heard he ended up in a hospital.'

'I believe my family business is not your concern. However I didn't appreciate, that you put your hands on something that belongs to me.'

'Okay, now stop with the verbal judo.' Lili interrupts. 'Let the real brawl begin.' then she heads towards the big man.

'Lili, wait!' I try to stop her. I've seen her taking down men almost this big before, but I have a bad feeling about this now.

'Don't worry Sam, it will be a piece of cake. Now come on big boy, show me what you have!' she says to Ogilvy. I'm afraid he is more than happy to grant this request so I prepare myself to intervene if I need to.

And just like that Ogilvy is throwing a punch which luckily Lili is able to block, but just barely as the struggle is visible on her face.

'Oh, you tough motherfucker.' she mutters.

As Ogilvy is about to punch Lili in the stomach suddenly a shockwave is hitting him in the face which sends him to the ground. Everyone looks around, wondering where the attack came from. Then Ethan walks over, wearing a high-tech, metallic bodysuit, which has green-purple sheen to it and a wing-like cape.

'I'm here, motherfucker.' he announces cockily, then walks to then man on the floor and blasts another shockwave at him. Then an another one. And an another one. Soon the smell of burned flesh fills the air but it doesn't seem like Ethan is about to stop. He is obviously very pissed at Ogilvy.

Soon I can hear a faint bleeping sound, that's when Ethan stops the attacks leaving Ignatius Ogilvy as a charred corpse.

'Fuck you.' he utters then turns around and walks past the baffled Lili.

'Wow, kid, that was something.' she says in amusement.

'Very good job, Son.' Oswald says approvingly. Is it possible that he is proud of Ethan?

'That's nothing. Now let's go home, the power in the Vectorsuit almost ran out.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Did you really build that suit? That's so cool!' I say when we are back at Oswald's living room. What Ethan did truely amazed me.

'Hm, yeah, I was working on it for a while, really nothing special.' he says nonchalantly but I am pretty sure he is proud of himself.

'Have you built other stuff too?' Lili asks. She seems to be genuinely interested as well.

'I have some plans and there are some things in the making.'

'You know what's funny?' I ask. 'Your dad also likes to make his own gadgets. Like father, like son. Oww! Now what's that for?' I complain after Oswald elbows me in the side.

'Alright, enough with this talk.' Oswald says. Maybe he is embarrassed by what I said. 'Khm… Ethan, my son.' he continues. 'I have to say, what you did was really impressive.' he is seemingly searching for his words. 'Good job.'

'Wow, thanks Dad. It wasn't bad for start.' he tries paying cool but his face lights up.

'Heh, that's very sweet.' Lili notes with a smile on her face. 'I guess I go now. It's getting late. You guys have a weird habit of hanging out at the dead of night.'

This remark makes all three of us look at each other awkwardly, but better we don't say a word.

'You need to do something before she gets suspicious.' Missy says after Lili left.

'Missy, what on earth are you implying?' I ask in shock. I hope she's not thinking about what I'm thinking about.

'Oh, calm down. I didn't mean you should put her under.'

'Wait a minute, your cat can talk?' Ethan asks with surprise.

'Here we go again.' Missy says. It always annoys her when people refer to her as my cat. 'I'm not Sam's pet, do you understand?!'

'We are Master's companions.' Teddy calmly explains.

'Talking dogs and cats? Okay, that is a bit too much for me for the day.' Ethan starts rubbing his head. 'I think I go home now.'

'Alright, good bye, Son.'

'Good bye, Ethan.'

'Bye.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the remaining of the night Oswald and I are spending the time in each other's arms. He is both passionate and gentle, and I couldn't be happier to be with him. That's why I am afraid to ask the question that's occupying my mind for a while.

'Oswald.' I start.

'Yes?' I can see the lust in those pale blue eyes.

'Uhm… I was just wondering, that, uh... what am I exactly to you?'

'Huh?' he is blinking at me with confusion. It seems like my question took him by surprise. 'Why are you asking me this right now?'

'I just… I was worried that… that I am just a toy to you.'

'But you like to be my toy.' he smiles playfully.

'Y-yes… in bed. But I was hoping I mean more to you.'

'Sam.' he starts caressing my face. 'You have no idea how much you mean to me. I love you.' what he says takes my breath away and his cooing voice makes me weak. He is so precious to me, I can't believe how badly I fell for him. When he kisses me I feel like my heart is melting and we embrace each other once again.
