From Hell to Heaven
“From Hell to Heaven”
John made contact with the cement hard. As, he lay there gasping and in pain; he tried to focus on what Gabriel was saying, he tried to focus on his daughter's sobs, and he tried to listen for coming sirens, but the only thing he could hear was Matt's ragged breaths.
“Mathew!” John flinched at the warning gun shot.
“Okay, okay, okay; I'm doing it, I'm doing it!” John growled and pulled himself forward.
“No, Mathew. Come here.” John grunted and drug himself into a view unobstructed by the car. He saw Lucy struggling in the grip of Gabriel's henchman and he saw Matt's pain- filled, panicked eyes darting between he and Gabriel.
“Come...here... Mathew.” John heard Gabriel's cold tone and looked up to see Gabriel's gun five feet from his head.
“Alright, alright, alright, alright; I'm coming. Don't shoot.”
“Then get over here, Mathew.” John winced as Matt half fell, half limped over to Gabriel. John struggled up as Matt stopped two feet from the madman.
The hand that wasn't holding the gun that threatened to finally finish John off, reached out and caressed Matt's hair almost gently. But before John could think, 'What the FUCK?!' the hand tightened into a fist and yanked Matt forward. With a yelp, Matt staggered forward and fell heavily into Gabriel. John lurched forward onto his knees but the click of the safety of a gun halted him.
Gabriel looked down at the hacker in his arms in an almost predatory way, even while his hand carded through Matt's sweat matted locks gently once again. Matt gasped heavily into Gabriel's neck, his eyes closed from the tears flooding them. The gun was pointed into Matt's side with the safety off and that alone was what kept John from leaping up and ripping Matt from Gabriel's arms.
“Sssh, everything is going to be alright, Matty. I won't hurt you... much.”
The gunshot was too loud, Matt's screams were too loud, and Gabriel's coos of comfort were too fucking loud.
Gabriel had now pulled John's hacker up against him. His arms were wrapped tightly around the hacker's waist and neck; effectively keeping the hacker upright. Matt's muffled sobs and pain- filled screams were buried heavily into Gabriel's neck. Gabriel turned and looked down at John.
“You know, John... he could be saved. You could save him.” John couldn't say anything. His voice just wouldn't work. He raved and screamed, swore and yelled; but not one sound came from his throat. Gabriel fisted Matt's hair again and pulled the hacker's tear- streaked face from his neck.
“Sssh, Matty; it'll be alright. John will save you. John can save you.” Then Gabriel pulled back, jammed the gun into Matt's abdomen, and pulled the trigger.
Gabriel seemed to disappear into mist as Matt fell. He had to get there... John had to get there, he had to save him. But John felt steel clamp around his wrists as struggled and fought to get to the hacker. He didn't feel the blood running down his wrists, but he saw the dark red liquid pooling around Matt's still form.
The dark chocolate eyes clouded over with pain, fatigue, and blood loss even as John fought harder to get to him... even as John's screams did nothing to drown out Matt's rasps of breath.
“John...”
John's tear- flooded eyes followed the line of red that leaked from the hacker's lax lips and then John saw the spark; the intelligent, cunning spark; leave the clouded eyes.
“... John...”
A white sheet dropped over Matt's limp body as the words, “He's gone,” froze the blood in John's veins.
“...John!”
John surged up, gasping for air. He looked to the side and his breath hitched violently. It took only a split second for John to grab his hacker, pull him closer, and breathe out, “...Matt.”
John trembled when he felt Matt's warm arms wrap around him. John dove in for a desperate kiss, devouring Matt's lips and making sure that what he had in his arms was the real deal. Matt pulled out of the kiss, gasping in healthy amounts of air.
“John, I'm alright...,” John shuddered and buried his face in the juncture of Matt's shoulder and neck.
“Sssh John, I'm right here. I'll always be right here.” John's breath hitched with a sob as he folded Matt into his arms and crushed the hacker against him.
John knew that Matt was curious about what his nightmare had been, but the younger man never asked. He just let John hold him and kiss him while he made sure that he was alive and his. And that courtesy went both ways. When Matt woke up screaming, John would just whisper endearments and let the younger man cling to him.
Because they were alive and no dream or nightmare would change that. They had survived and had found each other and that was all that mattered.
