It was early morning and Ellyn was sitting in the kitchen at the dining table. Boxes of her things were still neatly stacked against the wall in the living room and she was yet to fully unpack.

Chief startled her a little when he nudged her with his nose, but Ellyn smiled down at him before giving the big dog some attention. She had missed Chief and Flynn a lot. Before, she had always had Chief around as her companion and also for protection and peace of mind, but it just had to be that one time that she didn't bring him with her that she was taken.

Ellyn was struggling to cope with the fear and anxiety of the attack. The last couple of days had been better, but this morning was difficult and in an attempt to curb the feeling, she rummaged through one of her unpacked boxes to find some tea.

As she put the kettle on and spooned tea into the teapot, she fought the anxious tremor in her hands, her spoonful of tea almost spilling everywhere, but she managed to get it into the pot.

Pietro woke up to find Ellyn's side of the bed empty and he quickly got up to find her.

Pulling on a sport jacket and some tightly fitted sweats, he walked down from the bedroom to find Ellyn in the kitchen.

He saw Ellyn trying to make tea and he sighed. "Here, let me help you, Prinţesă." He said quietly. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he carefully took the spoon from her shaking hands and continued to make the tea for her as he held her.

"Come, sit with me." Pietro pulled out a chair and pulled Ellyn down with him so that she was in his lap.

I love it, beautiful Prinţesă

[absolutelylynn-deactivated20200]

Lynn wakes up head hurting unsure where she is she looks around scared and cold. She was on something hard and uncomfortable. Lynn looks and sees a mess of red hair.

”Ellyn!!” Lynn checks her over. Where were they? Lynn was scared.

@absolutelyellyn

[absolutelymargaretjane]

Margaret was taken by surprise when the doors were blown open. Astonished, she stared at her daughters, she had never suspected them to be that strong.

“Now, now, no need to let this get messy girls.” Her confidence faltered. “Get back or I’ll call my men to lock you away again!” She threatened.

@absolutelylynn

[absolutelylynn-deactivated20200]

Lynn looks at her mother as a bright power swirls around her and Ellyn. Lynn stares at her mother.

“Cal them you don’t scare me anymore Mother. You have no power no control over Ellyn and I.”

@absolutelyellyn

[absolutelyellyn-deactivated2021]

Ellyn takes Lynn’s hand again as they stare their mother down, the flames in her free hand growing stronger. She was angry, but she didn’t have the heart to hurt another person, even if they meant her harm.

Ellyn raised her hand and glanced at Lynn before they both used their powers to cast a circle around their mother, trapping her in the corner. It would hold her for a short while and at least prevent her from being able to follow them.

“Let’s get out of here, Lynn.“

The sisters left the room, trapping the mercenaries their mother had brought with her on their way out before they ran out of the building, breathing a sigh of relief. “Are you okay?” Ellyn asked her sister, pausing when she felt the familiar sensation of someone else’s presence nearby.

Piet stopped when he noticed two girls running out of an old warehouse and grabbed Ransom's arm. "Hey, look there they are." He pointed at them.

Pietro rushed Ransom and the cats over. "Prinţesă mea, Surată." He stopped a few feet away from them.

Beautiful Prinţesă, so are the flowers winks

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom, You knew I was a runner when you met me. Sorry but Ellyn and I are gone. Don’t look for us. I wish you a good life and goodbye. -Lynn

Ransom was setting up a workspace in his library when his phone chimes. He pulls it out of his pocket and checks the screen. Seeing Lynn’s name light up the screen he smiles.

Sitting at the desk Ransom opens the message, reading it once, twice, then a third time. His smile fading more with each read through. His throat felt dry as he swallows. Tapping out of the message he presses Lynn’s contact and brings the phone to his ear as it rings.

When his call goes directly to voicemail Ransom chucks the phone angrily away. Lynn was gonna just run away without an explanation? Fine. As his anger and, though he’d never admit it, hurt builds he swipes his arm across his desk sending the contents flying haphazardly around the room.

@absolutelypietro

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom blew out a breath, exasperated. It wasn’t like they’d have much choice. He petted Meow Meow glancing between her and Duchess for some sort of sign they understood what Pietro and he wanted.

@absolutelylynn

[absolutelylynn-deactivated20200]

Duchess meows and tugs on Ransom and Pietros shoe laces to show them the way the car drove. She meows as Meow Meow hides in Ransoms arms. Duchess walks the way the car the took Lynn and meows saying to follow me.

@absolutelypietro

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro stands up straight and follows Duchess. They walk through the outskirts of town until they reached an old industrial facility.

“What do you think, they could be in there, yes?” Pietro asked. “Do you still have their scent, una mică?” Piet asked Duchess. A growing feeling of dread filled him as he looked at the factory building.

Pietro gave Ransom a warning glare. “Are you serious?” He sighed and tried to remain calm. He was about to get frustrated but was stopped when the distressed cries of Duchess and Meow Meow interrupted.

Pietro knelt down and held his hands out to greet the cats. “Hello, una mică, have you two been out here all this time?” Pietro asked and petted them gently. “Surată mea would not leave you two behind.” He muttered.

@absolutelyransomdrysdale

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom was startled when Meow Meow and Duchess prance around Pietro’s and his feet, frantically meowing. He bends down to pick up Meow Meow, curling his arm around her middle and holding her close.

Hey, hey. It’s okay… Where’s Lynn, huh? She’s got to be close by.

He looks around searching for any sign of Lynn. Fear twists in his gut, the dread that what Pietro was saying might be true.

@absolutelylynn

[absolutelylynn-deactivated20200]

Meow Meow cries wishing Ransom could hear her. She snuggles in his arms feeling a sense of Being safe without Lynn they were scared well meow meow was. She meows at him crying as Duchess tugs on Pietro’s legs. She runs and grabs the syringe that the person dropped on the street and drops it in front of both men. She meows swishing her tail.

@absolutelypietro

[absolutelypietro-blog]

“Shit.” He muttered and used his sleeve to pick up the syringe. He looked closely at it and gave it a smell. “I am supposing, una mică, that this has to do with Lynn disappearing, yes?” He asked Duchess. He picked up the fluffy cat in his arms and held up the syringe for Ransom to see.

“What do you make of this, hm? Do you still believe she left?” Pietro asked Ransom. “Because this looks a lot like they were taken. You agree, yes?”

@absolutelyransomdrysdale

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom pressed his lips together, trying to calm a frightened Meow Meow clawing her way up to his neck.

“No. It is what you feared. What do we do now? How do we find them?”

@absolutelylynn

[absolutelylynn-deactivated20200]

Meow Meow and Duchess both cry missing Lynn and worried. Duchess senses something like she heard Lynn her ears twitch for a moment she looks up at Ransom and Pitero feeling sad.

@absolutelypietro

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro pets Duchess while he thinks. “Do you remember which way they took her?” He asked the cats. “Maybe if we know which way they took Lynn, we can work out where they are.” Pietro suggested.

“Good, let us get going then.” Pietro held Ransom awkwardly and ran to the vet clinic.

“How was that, hm? Not so bad, yes?” It hadn’t been a full second and they had arrived. Pietro backed up from Ransom and looked at him to see if he was alright after that, sometimes people felt weird after travelling at the speed of sound.

“Come, you will be fine, let us check the clinic, yes?” Pietro patted his arm before walking off.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom experiences an unsettling vertigo as his view changes from the forest around his house to the brick and mortar of Lynn’s clinic. He grabs onto both the building and Pietro’s shoulder to steady himself. As the dizziness and his stomach settle Ransom eyes Pietro warily.

It would seem the world is a lot more bizarre than I originally gave it credit for.

Straightening Ransom nods his head for Pietro to lead the way.

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro smirked at Ransom’s comment. “You do not have to look far, especially not in this town apparently.” He shrugged. Pietro began to look around. “Do you see anything strange?” He asked and walked up to the clinic to try and see through the windows.

“It would appear Lynn is not here.” He sighed then moved to the door, trying the handle a couple of times.

Pietro followed him, shoving his hands in his pockets as he entered the room. He read the message, not believing any of it.

“You really believe that bullshit, hm? You believe your sweet Lynn would run and for what reason?” He asked. “And my Ellyn, she would never leave, not like that.” He frowned at Ransom.

“I know they were taken, just here me out.” Pietro told him.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom hesitates, uncertain if he was right to assume the worst of Lynn. It wasn’t much different to what he did to people, why shouldn’t he expect the same treatment. He looks down at his glass swirling the contents before sipping at it again.

“Okay… I’m listening. Why do you think they didn’t run off together? They are sisters. Given their past it’d make sense for them to get skittish and cut loose.”

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Clearly Ransom was foolish to assume. He muttered in Sokovian to himself about Ransom’s shortsightedness, he knew Ransom was smarter than to admit defeat so fast. “I have been alongside Ellyn for six years, her mămică hired men to take her twice.” Pietro tried to explain the past but talking about it made him angry.

“I know both of them well, I know what they have been through, I was there for some of it with Ellyn. Do you think Lynn would be able to leave without saying goodbye? They were so angry at me for leaving, I do not think they would do the same to us.” He stopped and reeled himself back in. This is not the time to let his anger and fear take over.

“I went to Ellyn’s flat. I can tell you at first glance she was attacked, she put up a fight. I can take you there and show you if it is proof you want, yes?” Pietro gestured animatedly. “What tells you that if we go to the clinic, we will not find Lynn’s cats, hm? Or some kind of evidence she was taken as well?” He asked.

“What tells you not to question it, hm?”

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

“Mămică? I’m assuming that means mother…?”

Lynn had told him about her past with her mother. Why did he accept so quickly that Lynn would just leave? She may have said that she’d run before, but it seemed so unlike her character. It was perhaps because of Ransom’s believe that he didn’t deserve her affection and unwavering belief in the notion that Ransom was a good person.

He expected Lynn to wise up and leave him. Yet, that wouldn’t explain Ellyn leaving Pietro. From their lunch together it was clear how much Lynn’s sister loved her beau. Hadn’t the summers working under his grandfather taught him to be a better sleuth than take things at face value.

Chagrined he answered Pietro, “Alright, supposing your right, how would we get into Lynn’s clinic? I don’t have a key. Do you?”

[absolutelypietro-blog]

“Yes, it means mother in Sokovian.” Pietro confirmed.

“Mm no I do not have a key but that will not be a problem.” He shrugged. “I am light fingered, I am sure Lynn will forgive me for picking the lock if I need to, yes?” He suggested. “I would not unless I had to.” Piet added.

“I can get us there fast if you like, yes?” He suggested.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

“Alright… let me just grab my coat.”

Ransom leads Pietro back through his house stopping by the coat rack. He quirks an eyebrow at Pietro. He glances out the window but doesn’t see any other car besides his own. Ransom holds up his keys.

“You have a faster way to get there than by car?”

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro smirked. “Yes, Ellyn and Lynn are not the only ones who have abilities, however mine is eh… A bit different.” He shrugged. Pietro then showed how fast he could move from one side of the room to the other. To Pietro it felt like regular time, but to others it was not even a full second.

“I can move at seven hundred and sixty seven miles per hour on average, but if you would prefer the less complicated version, it is the speed of sound.” He recited the well used sentence in an almost sing song voice.

“You will not even feel like we have moved at all.”

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

If he were honest Ransom would rather take the car, but if Pietro was right and Lynn and her sister were in trouble they couldn’t waste anymore time.

He pockets his keys again. “Okay. How are we going to do this? I am not riding on your back.”

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro nodded and gestured at Ransom, he’d have to touch him, but he was sure Ransom knew that too. It wasn’t like using a speedster to travel didn’t involve being picked up.

“I do not think that my back is a good option. Uh just... stand still, close your eyes and do not stick your arms out. You trust me, yes?” Pietro asked. “No funny business either.” He added as he walked closer to Ransom.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

When his call goes directly to voicemail Ransom chucks the phone angrily away. Lynn was gonna just run away without an explanation? Fine. As his anger and, though he’d never admit it, hurt builds he swipes his arm across his desk sending the contents flying haphazardly around the room.

Pietro followed him, shoving his hands in his pockets as he entered the room. He read the message, not believing any of it.

“You really believe that bullshit, hm? You believe your sweet Lynn would run and for what reason?” He asked. “And my Ellyn, she would never leave, not like that.” He frowned at Ransom.

“I know they were taken, just here me out.” Pietro told him.

Ransom hesitates, uncertain if he was right to assume the worst of Lynn. It wasn’t much different to what he did to people, why shouldn’t he expect the same treatment. He looks down at his glass swirling the contents before sipping at it again.

“Okay… I’m listening. Why do you think they didn’t run off together? They are sisters. Given their past it’d make sense for them to get skittish and cut loose.”

Clearly Ransom was foolish to assume. He muttered in Sokovian to himself about Ransom’s shortsightedness, he knew Ransom was smarter than to admit defeat so fast. “I have been alongside Ellyn for six years, her mămică hired men to take her twice.” Pietro tried to explain the past but talking about it made him angry.

“I know both of them well, I know what they have been through, I was there for some of it with Ellyn. Do you think Lynn would be able to leave without saying goodbye? They were so angry at me for leaving, I do not think they would do the same to us.” He stopped and reeled himself back in. This is not the time to let his anger and fear take over.

“I went to Ellyn’s flat. I can tell you at first glance she was attacked, she put up a fight. I can take you there and show you if it is proof you want, yes?” Pietro gestured animatedly. “What tells you that if we go to the clinic, we will not find Lynn’s cats, hm? Or some kind of evidence she was taken as well?” He asked.

“What tells you not to question it, hm?”

Ransom, You knew I was a runner when you met me. Sorry but Ellyn and I are gone. Don’t look for us. I wish you a good life and goodbye. -Lynn

Pietro stood in the hallway outside of Lynn’s flat for too long, trying hard to calm himself, but he struggled to when he knew his Prinţesă was missing and now possibly her sister too.

Finally he collected himself together and tried to think straight. If Lynn wasn’t here, she could be with Ransom and he felt lucky he’d told them over lunch what kind of house he lived in.

Still in a panicked state, Pietro sped through town, finding a house that looked like Ransom had described and knocked frantically at the door. He hoped with every fibre of his being that Lynn was here, but the crawling feeling in his stomach told him she was missing too.

When Ransom took too long to answer, he hastily knocked again. He was so jittery he had trouble controlling his speed.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom sat amid the debris of his library, angry. Through the house he could hear someone knocking but intended to ignore it. He wanted nothing more than to sulk in his wounded pride and hurt feelings.

Whoever was pounding on the door, however had other plans. Ransom growls pushing himself away from his desk and stalks towards the door.

He reaches the entrance to his house and throws open the door with a little too much force. Pietro is there, wide eyed and fidgety. Poor bastard, Ransom thought.

“Yes?”

[absolutelypietro-blog]

“Ellyn is missing.” He blurted out loudly. Pietro was a wreck. “Fuck, Ellyn is missing.” He talked quickly and he could feel the shock of the situation setting in.

“Is Lynn here? I went to check on her after I found something at Ellyn’s flat, she is not there either.” Pietro asked, hands shaking. He was trying so hard to calm down but his mind was going a million miles an hour.

[ransomdrysdale-anon]

Ransom watch the man pace rapidly across his entryway, his face devoid of emotion. He shook his head.

“No, Lynn isn’t here. Didn’t you get the message? Or are you just a dumb fool?”

Ransom needs a drink. He leaves Pietro alone in the entry, the door still hanging open. He walks over to his bar and begins to pour some bourbon for himself.

“Would you like one?” He asks, not caring what his answer would be.

[absolutelypietro-blog]

Pietro finally takes in a deep breath and lets himself calm down some before following Ransom and shutting the door.

“What message?” Pietro frowned, ignoring the snide comment.

Piet watched Ransom pour himself a drink and shakes his head, alcohol wouldn’t even reach his head with his abilities and it would probably make his panic and jitters worse.

Pietro grumbled a bunch of swears in Sokovian while he walked towards Ransom. “Our girlfriends are missing and you want to drink?” Pietro fixed him with a glare.
