The Magpie And Her Bandit: Chapter 14
Okay omg I almost forgot to post this but here’s the 14th chapter!! This one is from Nova’s POV, which is different than how we usually do things but dw itll be fun. About 1000 words. Really excited about this chapter! [Other Chapters] [AO3 Link]
Nova stood outside of the operating room Danna was in, Adrian pacing in front of her and Max leaning against the wall with a worried expression. A tearful Narcissa was the only one allowed inside, despite their protests. Ruby and Oscar had arrived moments later, having been called by Adrian, and had similar complaints.
“They’ve been in there for a while,” her boyfriend wrung his hands together nervously, “What do you think that means?”
“I think that means that Danna has been shot in the leg,” she tried to keep her voice level, “And it takes time to fix that.”
“This is all my fault,” Max’s voice broke next to her and she immediately turned to him.
“Hey, no it’s not,” she placed a hand on his shoulder, “We’re all just very relieved that you’re safe.”
Adrian mumbled something in agreement as Oscar and Ruby arrived behind them, arms full of snacks and coffee. They passed the food around, switching out Max’s coffee for a smoothie after he tried to take one. Nova shook her head when they offered her some of the food, knowing she won’t be able to eat right now.
The rest of them ate in a worried silence as Nova glanced around the hospital in an attempt to distract herself. Her eyes fell on a couple and just behind them, she saw a small, familiar figure. She squinted and took half a step forward, trying to make out who she was seeing.
“Is that,” she said aloud, “Maggie White?”
“What?” Max’s head shot up, eyes frantic, “Where?”
Nova pointed and watched as Max rushed in the direction, “Maggie?”
Nova knew that Max was friends with Maggie White and she knew that something had happened between them. She looked at Max now, suddenly reminded of the expression Adrian had worn when he had confronted her about being Nightmare. So she took a quick breath and gave Max a quick reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry,” she told him, “I got it.”
She broke into a sprint, keeping her eye on Maggie as she swiftly moved through the crowds in front of her. She just barely saw Maggie push through the revolving doors of the hospital entrance, picking up speed as she grew more determined to get to her.
When she finally pushed out of the doors as well Maggie was just a few feet in front of her.
“Maggie?”
She whipped around and froze when she saw Nova, staring at her like she wasn’t sure if she would attack.
Nova took a moment to catch her breath, “Wow, kid, you’re faster than I expected you to be.”
“I have to-” she looked at Nova like she was a ghost then repeated herself, “I have to go.”
“No, wait,” Nova took Maggie’s hand and she could feel her entire body tense under her grip, “Max needs to talk to you.”
“Did he tell you?” Maggie’s eyes seemed to be studying her face.
“Tell me what?”
“Nothing,” she glanced around in a paranoid gesture that Nova found all too familiar, “I should go.”
“Listen, Maggie,” she flinched at the use of her name but Nova ignored it, “I know what it’s like to feel like the only option you’ve got is to run. Like there is no one left in the world who cares about you. But trust me, there are other options.”
“Save the speech, will you?” Maggie rolled her eyes, “I’ve already heard the epic romance story. I get it, you and Adrian were forbidden lovers but it worked out. But this is different.”
“Is it really that different?” Nova asked, “I know you hate me but all of this? The anger, the secrets, the running? I’ve done it all before and I’m telling you, it’s not worth it.”
Maggie was silent for a moment before speaking, so softly Nova almost missed it, “I don’t hate you.”
She was confused for a moment then gave a small laugh, “Could’ve fooled me, Maggie.”
“I don’t,” she insisted, then paused, looking smaller than Nova had ever seen her, “Do... Do you hate me?”
This did nothing to help Nova’s confusion. Maggie was not someone she thought of as insecure and yet, here she stood, shoulders hunched and eyes hesitant as she waited on Nova’s answer. She opened her mouth to answer when Max ran up beside her.
“Maggie?” his voice shook with a question and Maggie’s eyes took a second to tear away from Nova to him. Her wrist was still in Nova’s grip as she shook her head at Max.
“Please, Mags,” Nova took in his expression and slowly began to understand the situation, “We can help you.”
“No, you can't,” Nova felt a strange jab of recognition, “No one can.”
She tightened her grip on her wrist and Maggie immediately turned back to her. She was not about to let another kid make the same mistake she almost made, all those years ago.
“Maggie, whatever the problem is,” she put her other hand on her arm, “it’s not going to be solved by pushing people away. Let us help you.”
Maggie looked to her hand, staring at it when she repeated her old question, “Do you hate me?”
She glanced at Max, who wore an expression she could not decipher, “Of course I don’t hate you.”
“You should,” Maggie gave a soft, dry laugh, “In fact, I should hate you.”
“Maggie-” Max’s voice had a warning in it.
“You abandoned me,” her laugh was slightly hysterical now, “You’re the reason I was forced into all those foster homes, the reason I’m so fucked up.”
“How coul-”
“But I don’t!” There were tears in her laughter now, “I don’t hate you! God, I wish I did, though. That would make all this so much easier.”
Nova’s mind was racing, “What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about?” Maggie turned her eyes on her and she was struck once again with that strange feeling of familiarity, “I don’t think you want to know, Nova Artino.”
Then she tilted her head, considering something.
“Artino,” she spoke, “A nice enough name. Maggie Artino does have a bit of a ring to it, don’t you think? Though I suppose Maggie is not really my name, is it?”
Finally, the pieces started to click into place. She didn’t believe the thought at first, certain that she could never have gotten so lucky. She felt tears well in her eyes as she struggled to speak.
“E-Evie?”
