The Family That Spies Together, Stays Together. Or Something to that Effect: Chapter 6
Chapter 6
Jesse bolted forward as soon as he heard the door open. “Dad!”
“Easy,” Gabriel said as he caught Jesse in his arms and held him close. “Easy. We’re here. It’s…a little complicated.”
“Where’s Jack?” Jesse demanded as he shook Gabriel furiously. “Where is he?! I need to tell him…I need….”
“I can hear you, Jesse,” Gabriel said, his voice softening to a familiar cadence. “It’s okay.”
“Wha-?” Jesse pushed himself away from Gabriel.
He stumbled backwards onto his rump and scooted away. Gabriel ran his fingers through his hair and let out a long sigh. His eyes opened slowly and he smiled.
“Family meeting, living room,” he called as he headed for the living room.
“Papa!” Sombra shouted as she hurried over. “Where’s Daddy?”
“Sit,” Gabriel sighed. “Lena! Where are you, dove?”
Lena blinked onto the couch and sat there grinning, tears streaming down her face. Jesse sat down with Sombra, staring at Gabriel as he ran his fingers through his curls. He let out a long sigh before setting his hands on his hips.
“Okay, first one to make a dirty joke is getting smacked,” he warned. “Jack and I are…sharing a body.”
“So he’s…inside of you?” Jesse demanded.
“What did I just say?” Gabriel glared at him.
“How?” Sombra demanded.
“I haven’t the faintest idea,” Gabriel rubbed at his face. “I…dissolved him, but in the process of rebuilding us, we fused.”
“So why’d you leave then?” Lena demanded. “You had us worried!”
“I thought I’d killed him,” Gabriel sighed and dropped onto the couch. “I didn’t know he was here,” he tapped the side of his head, “until he woke me up. He was freaking out because this is clearly not his body. And then…well, he’s still here. And not impressed.”
“Can’t say I blame him; I’d hate to be stuck in your head,” Jesse laughed as he wiped at his eyes. “Pa…I’m sorry.”
Gabriel looked at him and his face shifted. The smile was wrong on his face, but Jesse knew it was Jack’s. Jesse felt his throat close up as tears filled his eyes.
“I know you are, Jesse,” Jack soothed. “I know you were just upset. I don’t hold anything against you.”
“That didn’t give me the right to give you shit over takin’ in Lena,” he murmured. “I was a brat.”
“You were always a brat,” Jack smirked. “Don’t try and kid yourself.”
Jesse pouted before he leaned back against the couch. Gabriel ran his fingers through his hair again before he let out a long sigh.
“Before you ask, no, I don’t know how we’re going to get Jack out,” he said. “All I know is that he’s still alive.”
“And doesn’t have a killswitch in him anymore,” Lena grinned. “So we’re free to leave whenever we want.”
“That is true,” Gabriel chuckled. “Very astute, dove.”
Lena grinned wider before she cocked her head to the side. “So…where do we go?”
“I hear Hawaii’s lovely this time of year,” Sombra grinned.
“Also expensive as hell to live there,” Gabriel snorted. “Might be nice though.”
“Indiana?” Jesse teased.
“No,” Gabriel shot him a glare.
“Just a thought,” Jesse laughed.
“Not a good one,” Gabriel grumbled and ran a hand through his hair. “Not going back to Indiana if I can help it.”
Oh. Right. Well done, Jesse. Way to bring up the State Better Left Unsaid. Jack probably hated you now, you dumbass.
“Could go to L.A. Hide in plain sight?” Lena offered.
“Too obvious,” Sombra shook her head. “Alaska?”
“Fuck the cold,” Jesse shivered.
“How about London? That’s a nice big city to get lost in,” Lena grinned.
“Also has shit weather,” Gabriel smirked. “Barcelona.”
“Eh,” Sombra shrugged. “Dorado.”
“Par-ice,” Gabriel said before he blinked. “Jack, we can’t talk at – tch me.” He blinked again. “Jack.”
“Oh no,” Lena laughed. “Sassy Jack has arrived.”
“Jack isn’t sas – ck you,” Gabriel snorted. “Sto – ke me. Jack! My mouth, my wor – hithead. STOP THAT!”
Jesse snorted into his hand, cackling as Gabriel threw his hands up in frustration. He could get used to this sort of thing. Jack was sassy and wonderful and was putting Gabriel through the paces. That’ll teach him to incorporate Jack’s cells like a twisted Thing Monster.
“What are you doing, Lena?” Gabriel yawned as Lena pressed her head against his chest.
“Trying to see if I can hear Jack’s heartbeat,” she replied.
Gabriel chuckled. “I don’t have two of everything, Lena,” he teased.
“Well, how else can you handle all of Jack’s mass without having all of his innards in you?” she laughed.
Gabriel chuckled and dropped his hand onto her head. This was why Jack adored her. She was such a happy little thing, no matter what. Sunshine and roses; just like Jack used to be.
“I don’t want her to get hurt like I did,” Jack murmured softly as Lena snuggled closer to them. “She’s still so young and she’s been through so much.”
“Jack’s worried about you,” Gabriel said as he ran his fingers through Lena’s hair. “He worries about all of his kids.”
“I’m fine, Jack,” Lena replied, smiling up at him. “We’ll figure out a way to get you back. Scout’s honour.”
Gabriel smiled and leaned his head back on the arm of the couch. Jack wasn’t too worried about sharing a body at the moment. Using the washroom had been interesting as they both agreed that was the weirdest feeling they’d ever had, but now that it was done and over with, they were fine. It would be interesting to see how well they fought sharing a body and a mind.
“Ooh, cuddle time?” Jesse cackled.
“Don’t hop on Pop,” Gabriel warned.
He grunted as Jesse flopped on top of him, burrowing his face into his shoulder and sighing happily. He ruffled his kid’s hair, smirking as Jesse whined about his sexy look being ruined. Sombra dropped down a few moments later, ignoring Lena’s protests about their not being enough room for her.
“We used to fit all of us on a couch; I’ll fit just fine,” Sombra smirked.
“All of us?” Lena huffed.
“Yah, Jack, Gabe, Jesse, and me,” Sombra smirked. “Gabe would be the base, Jack would lie on top of him, then Jesse and I would wiggle in where we could. Really comfy with those two big, buff boys acting as mattresses.”
“Hmm,” Gabriel huffed playfully.
Jack sighed happily inside of his head as they settled down. He was happy here, covered in their kids and just enjoying their time together. It was perfect and calming.
First let me say, i putted too much time on this, and the result is shitty XD aaaand i had also toooo much fun!!
Jack is a senior, he’s the smartest kid in school so he spends most of class designing his robots. He swears they’ll take over the world one day.The only class he pays any attention in is Mr. Young’s because he’s super snarky about everything, telling history for what “really” happened and making jokes almost all the time. (@agenderchaseyoung)
Also i maybe made jack a little too sassy... or not! because LOOK he is a math badass, and my father was also a Math Badass and he made anyones homework in exchange for cigarrettes and other stuff! he was really cool! and then i though, jack is similar to him XDD (although my father is not gay and he wasnt in love with a dragon-demon heylin prince XD) btw i also imagine Jack.. likeee trying to fit in! so he has the “same” hairstyle as many boys in his school.. except for the color, he dye it!
OH btw one of my headcanons is that Jack has deuteranotopia --> http://www.color-blindness.com/deuteranopia-red-green-color-blindness/
because he is albino and in one episode he said he had problems with his reds and browns :)
also a BIG THANKS FOR PATIENCE AND IDEA TO @agenderchaseyoung
