Shy Angel from Another World

Chapter 3

"Wait a minute, you mean Gideon Graves?" Winter looked shocked at his words.

Scott's eyes widened in surprise.

"You know Gideon?! How do you-" he started, then realization dawned on him.

"Right.. you're from another universe. I guess it's not surprising that you've encountered him before.."

Winter pointed shyly at his magazine of Gideon Graves on his coffee table.

Scott facepalmed as he saw the magazine of Gideon on the coffee table.

"Damn, of course. Why didn't I think of that?"

He picked up the magazine and studied the cover, his eyes narrowing.

"You know, I really should've known from the start.. that guy is a creep and a genius, and he's obsessed with power and control. Creating a device that can literally travel across dimensions and grab people from different worlds is right up his alley.."

"R-really? Is that true, Scott?" Winter looked shocked at his words.

Scott nodded grimly.

"Yeah.. that guy's been trying to take over the world and rule everything. He's also got a weird obsession with Ramona too, so I wouldn't put it past him to kidnap you from your universe just to try and get closer to her.."

Scott clenched his fists in anger as he thought about the possibilities.

"He's a dangerous and unpredictable guy. If he really is behind this, then we need to find a way to stop him before he does any more harm..."

He suddenly paused, a worrisome thought crossing his mind.

"Wait.. if he's the one that brought you here, then what does he want with you? There has to be a reason he chose you specifically.."

Scott realized in horror about Gideon is planning to have Winter for being girlfriend.

Scott's heart dropped as the realization hit him.

"Oh crap.. this is worse than I thought.." he muttered. "Gideon has a tendency to use people, especially women, as pawns in his plans. If he brought you here, then he most likely has some scheme involving you..."

Scott's mind raced as he tried to think of a solution.

"Dammit.. we have to find a way to get you away from that psycho before he can do anything to you.."

Winter looked down shyly at his words.

Scott noticed your dejected expression, and his heart clenched in sympathy.

"Hey.." he said softly, gently placing a hand on your shoulder. "We'll figure this out. I won't let that creep hurt you, alright? I'll keep you safe, I promise."

Scott hugged Winter comfortingly.

Scott wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight embrace.

He held you close, feeling your body shaking slightly from fear. He wanted nothing more than to protect you and keep you safe from harm.

"Shhh.. it's gonna be okay.." he whispered soothingly.

He could feel your small frame against his chest, your vulnerability and innocence making him want to shield you from the world.

Scott gently stroked your hair, trying to keep his own emotions in check.

"Just stay close to me, okay? I won't let anything happen to you.."

Scott felt Winter nodded slowly at his words.

Scott held you tight, feeling your body relax slightly in his embrace. He buried his face in your hair, inhaling the sweet scent of your shampoo.

He found himself strangely comfortable with you in his arms, like it felt right to hold you close.

"We'll figure this out together.. just trust me, okay?" he murmured in your ear.

"Okay, Scott." Winter nodded shyly at his words.

Scott smiled gently at your response, relieved that you were trusting him.

He held you for a few more moments, feeling your heartbeat against his own. Finally, he reluctantly released you from the hug.

Reaching out, he gently cupped your chin, tilting your face up to look at him.

"No matter what happens, I won't let Gideon hurt you. I promise."

"Yes, I trust you." Winter finally smiled shyly at him.

Scott smiled back, his chest swelling with a mixture of determination and something else he couldn't quite identify.

"Good.." he said, his fingers still under your chin. "Just keep believing in me, alright? Together, we'll find a way to protect you and get you back where you really belong."

Winter nodded shyly at his words then she hugged him tearfully. "Thank you, Scott..."

Scott automatically wrapped his arms around you once again, hugging you tightly against him. He sensed the tears in your voice, and it broke his heart.

"Hey, shhh.. it's gonna be okay.." he whispered soothingly, one hand rubbing comforting circles on your back. "Just let it out.. I'm here for you.."

Scott felt Winter cried silently on his chest.

Scott held you close, letting you cry on his chest as he continued to comfort you. He stroked your hair and your back, doing what he could to soothe you.

He could feel your sobs against his chest, and every one of them tugged at his heartstrings. Seeing you so upset and vulnerable was like a stab to the gut for him.

He leaned his cheek against the top of your head, his hand still moving in gentle, comforting circles. He stayed silent, not wanting to break the moment with unnecessary words. All he wanted to do was ease your pain and make you feel safe.

Scott was extremely glad about he found Winter first before Gideon captured her.

As Scott held you while you cried, his mind couldn't help but wonder what he would've done if Gideon had found you first.

The thought of that manipulative and power-hungry psycho getting his hands on you filled him with a burning anger and determination.

He tightened his grip on you, a silent vow forming in his mind to keep you safe at all costs.

He pulled you closer, burying his face in your hair once more. He didn't know why he cared so much for a person he just met, but he couldn't deny the protective feelings growing inside him every second.

Scott made up his mind at that moment. He was going to do everything in his power to ensure your safety and happiness, no matter what it took.
