Chapter one
Harley
I wanted to make Wade cry
Searing heat burned in the pit of my belly
My very being buzzing with the vibrations of Chaos
Uok
He sat across from me on a tall stool inside the Louis spalletti room
This place was filled with so many good and terrible memories that we should have learned by now that only extreme things
Happened here
Kisses
And explosions and brushes with death and destruction
I nodded
Stop worrying about me
And focus on what happened to the president
Think about it clearly and hold it in your mind
Or this is never going to work
Whatever you say boss
He smiled and closes eyes
I pushed my newly honed reverse sympathy into Wade
Using my powers like this was dangerous
I felt like I might rip myself apart by accident if I took one wrong step
Go bald or go home right
I’ve been living by that Mantra ever since my light and dark sides that decided not to tear each other to shreds
Wait smile feliway
His eyebrows knitting together in a somber expression
He opened his eyes slowly
The glitter of Tears sparkling in their deepgreen daps
A tear fell down the side of his face
And stopped at the curve of his kissable lips
Nao Merlin
I was trying to make him feel sad not turned on
That’s crazy
O’Halloran whispered from the other side of the room
I gotten scarier since my meeting with a kidna
And the terrible debacle with the president
And even the likes of O’Halloran had become weary or around me
I didn’t like that so much
But I suppose it came with the territory of being way more powerful than my peers
It has been weeks since the president of the United coven’s of America had volunteered his life
So we could Escape Catherine
That’s allowing her to complete the second ritual in her quest to challenge a child of Chaos
A collective despair had spread across the nation
But magical society as we knew it hadn’t fallen into the disarray we’d expected
There been initial riots and public outcry
But that’d faded away once the first need York shock subsided
In the wake of that
A new leader has stepped up to the plate
And brought the nation back from the brink of collapse
As with any situation like this
The vice president had taken over the running of the UCA
In this case a woman named Helena Caldwell
Who seem to be as well loved as president price of been
She was the hero we all needed in the aftermath
Even though she was just doing her job
Weed worried that people would join Catherine’s cause out of fear of what she might do
But vice-president Caldwell had rallied everyone back to sanity with her no-nonsense attitude and obvious
Adoration for the nation she served
He reminded everyone of what president price had wanted for America
And what is Vision it been
And that did not include bowing to terrorists and psychopath
Hack even I’d sat and watched a couple of her speeches over breakfast
And I wasn’t usually a news girl
We will not Bend to the threats of terrorism
And we will not
Break
We will not tolerate this regime of fear and Discord
Utilizing every military force we have
We will ensure
The Catherine Shipton does not succeed
Not only for our own peace
But the memory of President price
I assure you
That we are working day and night to prevent her from waging her War upon innocent people
And we will
Triumph over evil
Not have been her last speech to the public
From this morning’s news real
She had a way with words
Had to give her that
I just hope she had the ability to put real action behind them
Still even with her guidance
This new Terror of Catherine Shipton remained
It was all anyone could talk about
Katherine had instilled a sense of dread amongst the magical community
And it felt like everyone was holding their breath
Waiting for her to pop up again and kill someone else
Too many people
It was no longer a question of if
Katherine succeeded in her mission
But more like
When
I shared that mentality
Personally this newly felt Terror wasn’t the worst part of the second rituals aftermath
After everything that happened
All Eyes in the Magical World
We’re firmly on me
I could feel the heat of thousands of glares and Whispers
Stinging me everyday since my suppressor broke
I’d become notorious
And not in the oso cool Superstar kind of way
There’s already been countless letters to the SDC asking that I be put away in a high-security facility
Until it could be proven that I was safe to be amongst
Good people
Levi head relish telling me about them
Letting me know that he happen to agree
At the moment we were existing in a fragile peace
As long as I did as he asked and didn’t step over the line
I could remain
But those letters where his backup
A threat
To highlight just how serious he was about getting my abilities in order
How are you doing that
O’halloran’s voice brought me back into the room
Right now he served as a constant reminder of Levi’s doubt in me as Levi had assigned to holler
Learn to Watch Over Me during any and all training sessions
He was supposedly part of his new role as preceptor
With him having taken over no more his duties until a replacement could be found
Meanwhile nomura himself was rotting away in a basement prison cell
Inconsolable over losing the chance to save his son
I really did feel bad for him
But remembering what he done to me took some of the sting out of my pitty
Being forced into astral projection will do that to a girl
It’s just empathy reversed
I replied
As if it was that simple
Empathy came as naturally as breathing to me
But the reverse version required a lot of mental focus and a bucketload of chaos energy
Tears were streaming down Waze face now
His shoulders heaving as he stopped
I was turning the sadness right up to 11
Just to make sure I was doing it right
But it wasn’t easy to watch the man I loved in pieces
Sobbing his heart out in front of me
Because of me
If nothing else this newfound balance it made me understand the subtext in what Marie Laveau and Papa legba
I had continuously told me
Nothing comes for free
Now I was realizing that it meant something far simpler than I first understood
It simply meant that everything in this world had consequences
Right now me using my souped-up skills met my boyfriend was in tears
Cause and effect
Action and consequence
Feeling slightly guilty about leaving Wade in the state
I slowly Drew my reverse empathy away from him to give him the chance to recover
Sadness faded from his eyes
His body relaxing as the misery I’ve caused and out
Man
I hope they hurry up and find someone else for this job
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around all this new stuff
O’Halloran folded his arms across his chest and heaved out a sigh
And to be honest I’m not a big fan of being a glorified babysitter
No offense
A jackal
None taken
Bstc had become as notorious as its inhabitants
So finding replacement for nomura was proving to be difficult
Most magical wouldn’t touch us with a ten-foot barge Pole
What with all the bad news stories surrounding us lately
We were in a joke anymore
We were a jinx
Nevertheless he has DC was known for being the scrappy Underdog
And that hadn’t changed a bit
We were still on a mission to stop Catherine
The National Council was giving us absolutely zilch where intel was concerned
Choosing to work exclusively with a high-and-mighty la coven
While Levi kept me in the SEC
Even when the others were out on field missions
But since when did I let that stop me
At least I gave me time to think about how to get Finch out of purgatory and stopped Katherine from completing ritual
Number three
He was the only one who could get me into the cult of Eris without Katherine and her minions immediately evaporating me
The Wade and the others still weren’t sure it was a good idea to trust him
I wasn’t sure either
But he was our best bet
We couldn’t afford to be cautious anymore
Not with Kathryn to rituals in and more powerful than ever
Well that was an experience
