Ian with his bag headed outside where there was a limo parked. There were people gathered around it. Which is understandable since they have never seen a limo before. Raph was putting his bags in the truck.
Ian only packed spell books and clothes. He didn't have much. Elsa was already in the limo waiting to leave. Ian put his backpack in the trunk. He looked up and found Raph staring at him.
Ian: What?
Raph crossed his arms
Raph: What happened to your hand?
Ian should of known. He couldn't hide these things from his friends. They all have seen each other at their best and their worst.
Ian: Um my dad happened
Before Raph could say anything
Adagio: FLUTTERSHY GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SH*T!
Fluttershy runs up to Ian and Raph with her bags.
Fluttershy: Can you guys handle my bags please?
Before Ian and Raph could answer
Adagio: FLUTTERSHY!
Fluttershy let out a shriek and ran into the limo. Adagio came barreling towards the limo and Ian looked over at Raph who was ready to attack if Adagio came any closer. Ian looked in the limo and saw that Elsa had Fluttershy who was crying, wrapped in a hug. Adagio wasn't stopping and Ian prepared himself for a fight. Both him and Raph were ready at a moments notice to protect their "sisters".
Luckily it didn't come to that as Elsa's mother Gothel came to stop Adagio. Ian let out a sigh of relief, glad it didn't come to fight. He didn't need him or any of the others getting injured before this trip. He was already injured and he was glad it was his left hand and not his right hand that was injured. Raph grabbed Fluttershy's bags and put them in trunk. Ian went over to climb in the limo, but not before he locked eyes with his father. Pitch had joined Gothel along with Slash Raph's father in keeping Adagio from getting to the limo. He was looking Ian with that look. The look that told Ian that there would be h*ll to pay if he failed his father. Ian felt himself freeze in fear as Pitch approached. Pitch leaned down to Ian's ear
Pitch: The future of the free world rests on your shoulder. Don't blow it Iandore
Ian gave his father a nod before turning around to get in the limo. Raph came in not long after closing the door behind him. Fluttershy had stopped crying was just wrapped in Elsa's arms letting out the ocassional snifle. Raph came over to sit beside them
Raph: You ok Butterfly?
Butterfly a cute little nickname that Raph had been calling Fluttershy since him and Elsa had met Raph and Fluttershy. Ian for the longest didn't know why Raph called her that. Until one day he had asked Raph and he had told him it because when Raph first met Fluttershy when he was 8 years old and Fluttershy was 7 years old. He had found her in an alleyway crying because someone had stolen her butterfly pin that she wore in her hair. Fluttershy had told him that Alberto Scorfano one of Sunset Shimmers goons had stolen it from her. Raph toke her home, tracked down Alberto stole the Butterfly pin back, and returned it to Fluttershy and as joke called her Butterfly. The two met again a week later when Fluttershy had found Raph with a nasty cut on his arm from a fight he just gotten into. Fluttershy brought him to her place to fix him up. After helping him, Raph called her Butterfly again. It became a thing that Raph and ONLY Raph called her when they kept meeting up and eventually became friends.
Back to the present, Fluttershy looked up at Raph
Fluttershy: Yeah I... I"m okay
Raph: Do you........... do you wanna talk about it?
Elsa: You know we're always here if you wanna talk
Ian looked back down at Fluttershy who nodded and sat up.
Elsa: Ok what happened?
Fluttershy: I....(snifle)..... I was just packing like Pitch told us....... I was about to head out.... when my mother smacked me across the face and started screaming at me that I wasn't going anywhere......... that I wouldn't last an hour out there... that I was too kind for my good... (cries) ......... she kept screaming at me and I ran out to you guys.. (keeps crying)
Elsa pulled Fluttershy back into a hug and let Fluttershy cry it out for a bit. Before pulling away from Fluttershy. Elsa gently grabbed Fluttershy's chin and taking a good look at Fluttershy's face.
Elsa: Hold on let me go out and grab my makeup real quick. You got a red mark on cheek.
Elsa left the limo to go to the truck to grab her makeup. Ian looked at Fluttershy and saw that Elsa was right. On Fluttershy's right cheek was slightly red. Mumbling was suddenly heard outside and Ian looked out the back window. Standing at the truck was Mother Gothel and Elsa. Gothel was saying something to Elsa and it wasn't good based on the look on Elsa's face.
Ian: ( she better not be bullying her because of her looks again)
His suspicions were comfirmed when he saw Gothel grab the bottom of Elsa braid and look at it. As if she was studying it. Suddenly Fluttershy gasped. Ian looked over to see that Fluttershy was staring at his injured left hand. Before Ian could say anything Fluttershy was running out to get her med kit. Ian heard Raph lightly chuckle and looked over at Raph who was giving him the "I told you so" look. All three of them knew better than to hide an injury from Fluttershy. Fluttershy was basically their nurse. She always took care of their injuries and would get really mad because they hid them from her. Fluttershy came back with her med kit and came over to sit beside Ian. Taking his black glove off and taking care of his hand.
Elsa: What happened? Whose hurt?
Raph: Ian hurt his hand.
Elsa: How? Was it Pitch?
All three of them looked to Ian for an answer.
Ian: It was my father and I don't want to talk it.
They all dropped it after that. They all had devolped this unspoken rule that if something happened with their parents or anything that wasn't gonna hurt them as a team and that if one didn't want to talk about it. That they should drop it immediately. But they made sure that one could talk with them about. They were a team after all. They always had each others back and was there to help up when they fell down. Fluttershy finished up with Ian's and gave Ian his glove back.
Raph: Ok but just know that we're here if you wanna talk about it. Remember we always got your back.
Elsa and Fluttershy nodded in agreement
Elsa: Here give me the med kit I'll put it in my bag.
Elsa sat back down in seat and put the med kit in here bag
Elsa: Now come here Fluttershy let's see what we can do about that mark.
Not after they got back in the limo started and the driver who they haven't seen, began driving. Ian looked at the new bandages on his hand. They were a lot cleaner than the ones Ian had used. He put the black glove and looked over at Fluttershy and Elsa. Elsa was putting blush on Fluttershy. Ian knew a bit about makeup because after all he used to let Elsa and Sunset Shimmer pratice using on him. Some looks were better than others. He kinda liked it somtimes
Elsa: There we go that's better now. Here take a look.
Elsa handed Fluttershy her mirror. Fluttershy looked at herself for a bit before giving Elsa a thumbs up. Then Elsa looked at Ian with that grin.
Ian: ( Uh oh)
Elsa: Ian I got some of that purple eyeshadow that I know you like.
Ian sat there for a moment debating. He did like the purple eyeshadow. He always had Elsa put on him before going to things like party's not because he couldn't put on himself but he knew Elsa loved doing peoples makeup. But did he want to go to Metroville with makeup on? He thought about it for a bit
Ian: Sure! Why the h*ll not?
Elsa's gave him an excited smile and Fluttershy switched seats with Ian.
Ian: (Here I come Metroville)
Authors Note:
