***** Chapter 1 *****
Chapter 1: A New Day
Kung Jin's POV
Kung Jin still couldn't believe it. He was still new to all of this 'save the
world' crap. And to be honest, he could care less. He didn't even like any of
his teammates and he had only been there two weeks. Cassie was to bossy and
uptight, just wanting to impress her parents. Jacqui was to quiet for his
liking, but when she talked she was rude for no reason. Takeda was to into
Jacqui to do anything else but try to impress her. Jin couldn't even remember
why he had said yes to this job. But then he remembered why. Sitting in the
back seat of the jet as they we're heading to the Lin Kuei, he remembered just
why he had got involved with all of this: it was the man that they called their
leader, Johnny Cage, their field leaders dad. Although he was 42 years old, he
was still as hot as he had been in his twenties, to Kung Jin at least. Jin
didn't even know what Johnny was talking about anymore, as his attention
drifted to Johnny's plump lips. As Jin was starting to imagine kissing Johnny,
he heard his name called.
"Are you alright, Jin? You looked like you we're zoned out for a moment."
Johnny asked.
"Oh, yeah! Yeah, I'm fine! Sorry, I was jus-"
"It's okay, you're fine. I know it's a long speech. Anyways team, as I was
saying.."
'Oh my god', Kung Jin thought to himself. 'That was a close one..'
"-and that's why you guys gotta win this." Johnny finished his lecture.
As the jet finally landed after what seemed like forever, everyone started to
get off. As Jin was about to step out of the jet, Johnny called out to him.
"Jin! Wait! I gotta talk to you real quick. Hold on one second." Johnny said,
before running out to tell the others to chill outside for a moment.
"Now. Let's talk." Johnny said as he came back in. "Are you sure you're okay?
You looked upset?"
"Yeah Yeah! I'm fine, just a little tired is all. This saving the world stuff
really takes a toll on ya, y'know?"
"Yeah I know how it is. Well if you need to talk you know you come to me,
right?"
"Yeah, I know I can."
"Good. You guys are already like part of my family, even if it has only been
two weeks." Johnny says.with one of his signature smiles, making Jin smile
also.
"Well, I better go. Don't want to keep the team waiting." Kung Jin said,
wanting to escape the awkwardness of the situation.
"Yeah, you're right. We better get going." Johnny said, putting his arm around
Jin's back.
Kung Jin instantly tensed up, as he had never been touched by Johnny before.
Being this close to him was like torture, because all Jin wanted to do now was
take Johnny back on the jet and rape him him right then and there.
"Alright everyone, let's get this over with." Johnny said, arm still around
Kung Jin.
Jin was starting to get worried, he knew that Takeda knew about his obsessive
crush over Cage because he had walked into Jins bedroom one night at their
hotel they had stayed at and found Jin climaxing while calling out Johnny's
name. He was then forced to tell Takeda the whole thing, and Takeda had then
promised to keep the secret between them. However, Jin wasn't sure how good
Takeda was at keeping secrets, or if he had done told someone already. Would
Takeda be that ruthless? Mean enough to tell someone the fantasies that Jin
constantly found himself having. He wasn't sure, so he decided he would just
have to ask him later.
As the team were heading into the temple, Johnny told them he would wait for
them outside. As he did so, the rest continued their journey inside. As they
made their way out into the courtyard, they were all suddenly surrounded by lin
kuei ninjas, as well as Sub-Zero himself.
"Awe. What is your purpose?" Sub-Zero inquired.
"Sub-Zero. Let's talk." Cassie tried, although unsuccessfully, to cooperate
with Sub-Zero.
"You lead this team, but you are not one." Sub-Zero said, and then went on to
give a speech about Cassie's sucky job of being a leader.
Jin then heard Sub-Zero scream, as he looked to his right, seen that everyone
had started fighting. Jin suddenly felt something hit his back, and as he
looked to see what it was, he found that some ninjas were ready to fight him.
Jin was quick to defeat them, but he then seen Sub-Zero defeat Jacqui, and
before he could kill her Jin intervened.
After having a non-nagotiable conversation, the two began to brawl. Jin quickly
found himself bested by the ninja, and layed on the ground in defeat. After
Sub-Zero had taken down the entire team, Johnny walked out. He and Sub-Zero
began to laugh and tell the team how it was all just a test, and how if they
wanted to succeed against the real threat, they would have to work together.
On the plane trip home, Cassie and Johnny argued the whole way home about how
it was wrong to set them up like that. To be honest Jin couldn't care less. He
was just glad that the day was over and he could go home and sleep.
As the jet landed at the Special Forces, everyone began to descend the walkway
off the jet. Before they could all go their separate ways, Johnny announced
that the team would be staying the night at SF.
As they made their ways to the main doors in, Jin felt butterflies as he seen
Johnny begin talking to his ex wife, Sonya. But then he reminded himself that
she was his ex, no longer his wife. And the fact that they began to argue only
made Jin happier. But then he thought of one fact that shattered all of his
happiness within seconds: Johnny was straight.
As Jin had this thought, he ran inside, pissed off that things never seemed to
work out for him. Why did Johnny have to be straight? Why did he have to like
girls? Why did he look so damn sexy with those sunglasses? As Jin asked himself
all of these questions, he decided he had had enough of being depressed for the
day.
But he wasn't done just yet. As Jin lie on his bed, he waited for Takeda to
finish saying goodnight to Jacqui(which he thought took "too damn long!")
before asking him questions right as soon as the door was shut and Jacqui was
gone.
"So have you told anyone? Or are you still being a good friend?" Jin asked him.
"Of course not! I'm not like that! I done told you, that's between us. Besides,
who am I gonna tell? Jacqui doesn't even like you and Cassie doesn't even talk
to me, so why would I tell them?" Takeda said, the offended tone in his voice
being recognized by Jin.
"Alright alright. No need to yell. I'm sorry, Takeda, I should've known you
wouldn't be that low. I just noticed the look you gave me when you seen
Johnny's arm around me and then you whispering into Jacqui's ear. I was just
worried is all."
"No, no, it's cool, Jin. I understand. I get you'd be worried, hell I would be
too." Takeda said, being more sincere this time.
"Well I appreciate it."
"No problem. Goodnight Jin!" Takeda told him
"G' night Takeda." Jin told him from his bed opposite of Takeda's., "Glad we
could figure this out."
After telling Takeda to sleep well, Jin rolled over in his bed, facing the
wall, while letting his thoughts drift to what Johnny would be doing right now,
before finally drifting off to sleep.
***** Change Is Necessary *****
Chapter Summary
     The team travels to Out world to help Kotal Kahn with the Out world
     Rebellion.
As Kung Jin woke up the very next morning, he was alone. As he stepped out of
bed, Jin wasn't surprised that Takeda was gone, as he was an early riser. After
putting on his outfit, Jin once again wondered if it was worth staying. While
he was preparing his bow, Cassie walked in.
"Hey. Just stopped by to tell you we're leaving soon."
"Cool. Where we going this time?"
"Out world. apparently there was an attack on Kotal Kahn yesterday by the Out
world Rebels. My mom wants us to go talk to him and see what we can do to
help." the blonde answered him.
"The Rebels? You mean the ones led by Mileena?"
"That'd be the one. Come on, my mom will explain everything." Cassie said,
before leaving him alone once again.
Five minutes later, after Jin had prepared for the long day ahead, he headed
out too find the team.
He found them on the jet, just as Sonya was telling the others about what they
were up against.
"That's why you have to keep your guards up, because Mileena could attack again
at any moment."
"Isn't she the one in the blue? Or is she the one in the yellow?" Takeda asked.
"Neither. Mileena is the one in the pink. The woman in yellow is Tanya, her
general. Kitana was the one in blue." Sonya answered.
"Oohh yeah that's right. And Kitana's the one that's a revenant, right?" Takeda
asked again.
"Yes, Kitana was one of the best fighters we had on our side, and it's tragic
she's still in the netherrealm. Her and the others." Sonya said with the
saddest face Jin had ever seen her have.
As Sonya began answering questions for the others, Jin, like always, found
himself zoning out.
When he looked at Sonya, he wondered what Johnny had seen in her. Maybe if he
was straight he could see it, but in his opinion she wasn't that pretty.
Prettier than her daughter, but not to pretty.
After Sonya finished answering questions and left, Johnny boarded the jet to
give his personal speech.
"Okay so I know Sonya pretty much covered the basics, but I just wanted to wish
you guys good luck."
"You mean you're not going with us?!" Cassie asked sounding worried.
"Nah I can't go on this one. There's things I've gotta help take care of here
for now." Johnny said.
"But-"
"No buts Missy, you guys will be fine, I promise." Johnny told his daughter.
After everyone said goodbye, Johnny departed the jet, giving one last glance
over to everyone on the jet. When Johnny looked over at him, Jin could swear
that Johnny's eyes lingered on him for a few seconds longer than they did when
he glanced at the others.
And then he was gone.
As the jet doors shut, everyone was feeling different about their mission.
There was no doubt that this would be the biggest mission they have had yet.
Takeda was excited. Jacqui was anxious. Cassie was nervous. Kung Jin was just
indifferent.
"So how about Johnny not coming with us? That was definitely the shock of the
day for me." Jacqui said.
"You've got that right. Dad's always been there with us, I'm kinda scared he's
not coming." Cassie said, her face showing just how scared she really was.
As much as Jin disliked Cassie, he did feel for her. He was still in shock
himself.
"I know Cassie, it'll be okay though. Your dad wouldn't send us in alone if he
didn't think we could handle it." Kung Jin said, doing his best at comforting
her.
Cassie smiled at him, causing Jin to smile back at her.
After about 20 minutes, the team landed in Out world, the realm their parents
had had so much trouble with in the past.
As they got off the jet, they were shocked to see a world much like their own,
with only minor differences.
"Okay, so we need to go see Kotal Kahn first, anyone wanna guess where we go to
do that?" Cassie asked.
"I don't know, let's go find out." Jacqui told her.
After they had made their way into the city, Jin spotted a man that was fixing
to be executed.
After learning he was being killed for stealing a piece of bread, Jin was
outraged.
Before the man was killed, Kung Jin sprang into action, running and sprinting
past people. As he saved the man from execution, the warriors that were holding
out the execution charged at him, and Jin took them down one by one. As Error
Black caught up with him, they fought.
"I knew I shouldn't of listened to you." Black told him.
"A lesson in trust. From a mercenary." Jin mocked him.
"Here's another learning opportunity." Black said, before engaging him in
combat.
After they fought, Jin was victorious.
"I'm a quick learner." Jin told the now unconscious Erron Black.
After defeating Black, Jin turned to see another one of Kotal Kahn's minions
coming from the crowd, a giant gorilla-like creature with a tiny elf woman
riding on it's back. As they were coming closer, the beast roared as loud as
possible, while the tiny woman was screaming incomprehensible words.
"Let's play Torr." The woman said, causing Torr to roar even louder this time.
As Torr began charging at them, he took down each of them, Kung Jin saving them
each time before they were killed.
"You here to make trouble skinny? Trouble make you!" the woman yelled at Jin,
since it was his turn to face off against them.
"Love to learn more about you. To bad you're insane." Kung Jin told her.
After defeating them as well, Jin raced over to help his friends.
"You guys alright?" he asked, while the rest were mumbling and groaning in
pain.
As more soldiers arrived a woman who looked like a giant bug stepped out from
the crowd with the soldiers in step behind her.
"The Earthrealmers, yes? This one must learn more of your diplomatic
techniques." The woman said, referring to herself.
"We're here to see Kotal Kahn. General Blade's-"
"You dare to interfere with Out world matters? The penalty is death." The woman
said, cutting Cassie off and emphasizing the word death. "But, as we honor the
Reiko Accords, we will consult the emporer. You will wait for him here." The
lady finished.
As the bug woman walked off, Cassie took this as her opportunity to scold Kung
Jin.
"You wanna tell us what the fuck-shit you were thinking?" Cassie demanded.
"I wanna know why you'd risk war for a bread their." Takeda put in.
"Because not all thieves are irredeemable." Jin defended himself.
After they waited for 5 minutes they seen Kotal Kahn emerge. As the man stepped
in front of them Jin couldn't help but fear him a little. The guy was
intimidating.
After telling him their story, he spoke.
"Your news of refugees is troubling." The emporer spoke. "Their exodus to
Earthrealm was unknown to me. I do know this. I invited no guests from
Earthrealm. Certainly none of which would disrupt the execution of justice. How
do I know you are not allied with Mileena?" he asked. "Perhaps her newfound
power has earned her new friends."
"Friends?" Cassie asked incredulously, actually laughing. "No. No. We're not
even sure that's Shinnok's amulet she has.
"The amulet? The very amulet Earthrealm swore would be safe in their care? When
Outworld was offered no participation."
"We were under attack, not Outworld." Cassie interjected.
"Kotal Kahn. The fire that burns the sun. We are here because we share your
concerns about the missing item. We intend no ill against your rule." Jin
defended them.
"Atleast one Earthrealmer can forge words like silver. But I recall an
Earthrealm expression. 'There is more honor among thieves than diplomats."
Kotal Kahn finished.
"Ive had the questionable misfortune to be considered both emporer. But I'm
telling you the truth." Jin said, hoping he'd finally convinced him.
"You are allied with Mileena. You may carry out your sentence." Kahn told the
bug woman.
"Kotal Kahn. Under Out world law, I claim the right of defense, by combat." Jin
declared.
"What?" Takeda asked confused.
"You're gonna fight a duel?" Jacqui asked equally confused as Takeda.
"To obsolve us of all accusations." Jin answered them.
"You know much of Out world" Kahn said.
"Know also, the duel ends in death." the bug woman told him.
"You have won nothing. Merely a few more seconds of breath." Kahn told him,
before they fought.
After defeating him, Kotal Kahn dropped the charges against them.
"I say to you all, that Out world means Earthrealm no harm." Kahn declared.
"Now kill me. Be done with it."
After refusing to kill him, Jin asked of his service instead, stating how they
need to work together instead of alone.
"Emperor. They can not be trusted." the bug woman stepped forward, making a
face as she did so.
"D'Vorah. Can you not perceive that I am indebted to them?" Kahn asked her.
"Thank you Kotal Kahn." Jin thanked him. "Our gratitude is as wide as the
ocean.
"OK, well i'll talk to General Blade." Cassie said.
Jin smiled, finally feeling welcome in the team.
***** When Life Hits Hard *****
Chapter Summary
     Johnny POV
     Basically deals with Johnny flirting with Sonya and failing hard
     while they worry about the kids.
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Johnny knew it'd be a long day after the kids left. After the departure of his
ensemble team, Johnny decided to find Sonya.
After 10 minutes of scouting the Special Forces Building, he finally found her
talking to Li Mei.
"So what's up? Found out anything about the mission?" Johnny asked, trying to
make conversation
"Haven't we been over this? Johnny, give it up. I know this is just a way of
you to come over here and talk to me. I don't want you back." Sonya dejected
him.
"Hey! No it's not! I was trying to show genuine concern."
"Well if you really wanna know, you came to the wrong place. We're completely
in the dark as of right now." Li Mei answered him.
"Well isn't that great." Johnny replied
"Yeah, so if you don't mind could you leave me and Li Mei alone so we could
finish our work." Sonya interjected
"What work? I thought you just said you had no leads whatsoever." Johnny said.
"Well maybe we could change that if you would leave." Sonya snapped.
All Johnny could muster in reply was an offended look.
"That's fine Sonya. But you do know you don't have to be so rude, right?"
"Aren't you supposed to be leaving?"
And with that, Johnny walked away.
Johnny didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do, but all he
knew was that he wanted nothing to do with Sonya.
He ended up going to his room, pacing around the room several times after going
inside. Besides the incident with Sonya, Johnny was also very worried about the
kids. It was the first time they went on a mission on their own, and was
probably the most dangerous anyways.
He ended up deciding to get in contact with Cassie.
As the phone began to ring, Johnny couldn't help but feel eveb more anxiois. He
was relieved when he finally heard his daughters voice.
"Hello?" Cassie answered, rather rudely if Johnny said so himself.
"Hey. How are you guys? Is everything OK? And why are you being hateful?"
Johnny asked.
"Yeah,everything's fine, and sorry about that, I've just got the hugest
headache ever."
"Good, glad to hear it. And I understand. Well report back when you learn
anything else, OK?"
"K. Love you dad. Cage out."
"Love you too, kiddo. Cage out."
Johnny still felt worried about the kids. What if something bad we're to happen
to them. What if they got hurt? Or severely injured? Or at the worst what if
they died? How would he tell their parents?
Jax would surely kill him if Jacqui were to die, and he was pretty sure Kenshi
wouldn't do anything less if it were Takeda. And if it we're Cassie. He would
never forgive himself then, let alone Sonya.
But what about Jin? Johnny didn't know his parents, or if his parents were even
alive.
As Johnny began thinking about Kung Jin, he wondered if Jin was OK. Johnny was
aware of the crush Jin had on him. Johnny had first found out about it when he
had heard Jin moaning his name one night. He had heard through the walls. The
next day, Johnny had acted upon this to see if his accusations we're right by
hugging Jin. The fact that Jin lingered longer than normal proved to Johnny
that the crush was in fact real, along with Jin always blushing and getting
lost when Johnny would talk to him.
After only 2 weeks of knowing him, Johnny had to admit he liked Jin a lot. He
was a good kid and a pleasure having around. But Johnny didn't want to break
his heart. After all, Johnny wasn't gay. He had never even thought about a guy
that way.
He had always been interested in girls. But after Sonya, Johnny didn't care
anymore really. It wasn't like he was ever going to find someone else with
Earth always in danger the way it was. He basically just figured he'd never
find anyone again.
But then he started thinking about Jin again.. What if he did like Jin? The guy
wasn't bad looking by any means, and to Johnny he was a heck of a lot better
looking than Kung Lao or Liu Kang.
Now that he thought about it, maybe Jin wouldn't be a bad lay. That is if
Johnny could talk him into a one night stand. It wasn't like he could be with
him anyway. The guy was still basically a kid compared to Johnny. It wouldn't
look good at all. The fact that he would be with a guy didn't bother Johnny
though. He didn't have anything to prove to anyone anymore.
Besides, Johnny had seen and been friends with plenty of gay guys, all of whom
we're happy with their lives. If Jin was a little older, Johnny wouldn't mind
giving him a chance. Too bad he was only 22.
After shoving away all of his thoughts, Johnny decided he better get some
sleep. He got up and turned off the lights, and, after getting into bed, felt
himself drifting into sleep after a very long and hard day.

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
It took days but finally the team returned to Earthrealm. After Kotal Kahn had
captured Mileena, Rain had made sure to save his leader, by teleporting in and
saving her moments before her would-be death. D'Vorah back-stabbed Kotal, and
then helped Quan Chi free Shinnok before his death. And after Cassie defeated
Shinnok and he and D'Vorah were taken care of, the team could relax.
Two weeks after Shinnoks defeat, Johnny and Sonya threw a party for Cassie.
Everyone was invited of course. Jax and Jacqui, along with Jax's wife attended.
Kenshi and Takeda were there. Raiden, Bo Rai Cho, Li Mei, Sub-Zero, Frost,
Hanzo, Fujin, and Sareena even made it. The elders were sad that a bunch of
their old friends were still revenants, namely Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana.
Sonya, Raiden, Johnny, Hanzo, Jax, Kenshi, Fujin, and Sub-Zero were putting in
double the hours of work to figure a way to reverse the curse and set them back
to their old way, with help from Sareena due to her past years of experience of
being at Quan Chi's will, and Jax and Sub-Zero helping simply for the fact that
they know what it was like. Jin figured Hanzo was only helping because he felt
guilty for abruptly killing off Quan Chi before anything could have been done
about the matter.
The group was attending to other matters nonetheless. Bo Rai Cho was watching
Kotal Kahn, making sure to tell the group if he had plans that would hurt
Earthrealm. Li Mei felt bad for not helping more than she was, but it was
understandable due to the long and hard effort she was putting into rebuilding
her village. Everyone was doing something.
The team hadn't had a mission since Shinnoks defeat. Johnny was probably a
little scared to send them out there again after everyone's near death. However
Jin didn't really appreciate sitting on the sidelines. He wanted to help. So he
made sure when he caught Johnny by himself to stop him and tell him himself.
Jin finally found him heading up the stairs in his house. He decided now was as
good a time as ever.
"Hey Johnny! Can I talk to you for a minute?" Jin asked out to him, climbing
the stairs to catch up with his idol.
"Sure thing man! And what do you know. You finally called me Johnny. I like
it." Johnny winked at Jin.
Kung Jin practically went red and sheepish on the spot after that, and it took
a few moments to regain his composure.
"Yeah. Well, I wanted to make sure that you know. I don't plan on sitting on
the sidelines. I wanna help."
Now Johnny looked concerned. "Help with what Jin?"
"Anything. Anything you guys need. Especially restoring Kung Lao and the
others."
Now Johnny looked perplexed. "Well I love you wanna help, really, but there's
nothing you can help with right now. I'll let you know when I nee-"
"No! That's not good enough. Just because I'm younger than you, doesn't mean
anything. It doesn't mean your stronger than me. Faster than me. Smarter than
me. Better than me." Jin said the last part with a matter-of-fact look. "I can
help just as much as anyone out there. So let me in, instead of keeping me in
the dark." Jin ranted at Johnny.
Jin's words didn't fall on deaf ears either. It was a moment before Johnny
replied.
"I know Jin. I'm no better than you. Never said I was. And I know you guys
wanna help. Cassie is constantly bugging me on if we have any leads. I can
promise that as soon as we figure things out, we'll let you guys know. I
promise. Now I'm gonna go take a shower. So I'll talk to you later."
Don't think it went unnoticed to Jin that Johnny's hand was on his shoulder the
whole time he talked to him. And even on his bare shoulder. #progress
Jin sighed. "I know you guys are doing the best you can do. I just hate how
things are right now. Just let me know if you could use my help. I mean that
Johnny." Jin said.
Jin would have been surprised if Johnny's smile could have been any wider than
it was right then.
Jin was even more shocked when johnny hugged him.
And it was Johnny that lingered with the hug this time. Even when Jin went to
let go Johnny was still holding on to him.
"I love it when you call me Johnny!" Johnny said as his smile had not faltered
at all.
After a few more moments Johnny released the younger guy. He was still smiling
however.
"Well then if you like it so much I may just have to make it a habit." Jin said
playfully, smiling back.
"Now you're asking for me to hug you again, aren't you." Johnny said with a
wink.
"I suppose I am." Jin laughed.
Johnny smiled at him again. "Well, come by here tomorrow and you can help me
with trying to figure some things out. That is if you still want to." Johnny
said, the first time Jin swore his smile had faltered since it had first
appeared.
"Are you kidding?" Of course I'll be here."
"Great!" Johnny beamed again. "Be here around noon."
"I'll be here. Bye Johnny." Jin smiled, before walking down the stairs to leave
the party.
Johnny was still smiling.
"I love it when he does that!" Johnny whispered to himself, before going to
clean himself up.

As planned, Kung Jin made his way over to Johnny's house at noon the next day.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he seen Johnny eating a cheeseburger. As
Johnny looked up he noticed him, smiling that huge ass smile he always made.
"Hey Jin! Its 4 after, I was beginning to think you wouldn't show." Johnny said
after he finished chewing.
"I'm never on time, might as well get used to it."
"Well them aren't we a rebel." Johnny said raising his eyebrows.
"So have you found any leads? Anything at all?" Jin asked, ready to get down to
business.
"No not yet. Hey do you want one of these burgers?" Johnny asked after taking
another bite.
"No thanks. I ate before I came. Not really hungry."
"Are you sure? Because Cassie is out shopping with Jacqui and Sonya's at the SF
headquarters. So its safe to say they won't be eating with us."
"Positive. Thanks though Johnny. So what's the situation between you and Sonya?
I thought you guys had called it quits?" Jin asked.
"I don't know really. As of right now, we're living together. I think its
really just to support Cassie though. As far of a relationship, Sonya will
never be interested in me again."
"Are you still interested in her?"
Johnny gave him a wild look. "I mean... if Sonya wanted to get back together
with me. I don't know. I will always have certain feelings for Sonya, but I
don't think I'd ever get back with her. Why are you so interested?"
"No reason really. Just curious since everything you guys have been through."
Jin answered truthfully.
Johnny gave him a questioning look.
Jin decided to change the subject. "So. What are we gonna do? I have a plan but
its a long shot."
'And whats that?"
"I think we need to get Sareena and travel to the Nether realm. When were
there, we can capture one of the revenants, and then have Sareena and Raiden
and Fujin help us convert them back to their original state and free them of
this corruption."
Johnny looked dumbfounded. "Well I was just going to suggest we Google it and
then go from there, but I think yours is a bit better.
Jin laughed at Johnny's honesty. "Well are you ready?"
"Ready to what?"
"Ready to go to the Netherrealm?" Jin asked.
Johnny felt dumb. "Uhh yeah yeah I knew that's what you meant."
Jin laughed again. "Suuure. Well then after you, Mr. Cage." Jin took a bow.
"Y'know. Call me Johnny. It makes feel special." Johnny said, patting Jin on
the shoulder as he walked outside and off to the portal that would take them to
the netherrealm. Jin lauhed again.
 
It took about 20 minutes of small chat before the two reached the SF head
quarters. They found Sareena talking with Sonya about something important
before Johnny interrupted.
"We need Sareena." Johnny stated simply.
"Were busy. Go bother someone else." Sonya said without even looking up from
her laptop.
Johnny was getting agitated. "Sareena. We need you to come with us to the
netherrealm. We have a plan on how to save the others." Johnny tried again.
This time Sonya looked up. "Didn't you hear me? I said were busy. So why don't
you take your pathetic unthoughtout plan and just go."
"Don't call Jin's plan pathetic!" Johnny yelled, now pissed off. "The only
thing thats pathetic is your attitude lately. And I wasn't talking to you
anyways Sonya, so just shut up."
Everyone was quiet for a few moments before Johnny spoke again. "So Sareena,
what do you say? Its worth a shot, right?"
"I'll go. I understand that this is the best plan you guys have come up with,
right?"
"I'd say its a pretty good plan, considering its the only one we've got." Jin
said defending his plan.
"I didn't mean any disrespect." Sareena said sullenly. "I just wondered if
there was a backup plan. Because I know they're not just gonna give up without
a fight. It won't be simple. I'm in. You're gonna need all the help you can
get."
Jin smiled, glad that Sareena was backing up his plan. "Great. So are you ready
to go?"
"Just the three of us? Don't you think it'd be best to bring a team?" Sareena
asked.
"But wouldn't a team be easier to see coming?" Jin retaliated.
”I suppose you're right. Sonya, if were not back in two hours, send a team in
after us. "
"You can't tell me that you're actually with them on this?! Sonya made an
outburst. "They're gonna get themselves killed, don't let them sign your
obituary too. A has been movie star and some shaolin kid. There's no way you
guys stand a chance against a bunch of assassins. This has got to be the worst
possible plan there is. This kid is just looking for a way to earn Johnny's
respect and gain his attention. And Johnny's just going with it to make me
jealous." Sonya spat.
"I think its the best plan, because while you sit in here on your ass Sonya,
were actually gonna go TRY to do something, or die trying. And for the record."
Johnny fired back, before turning around to Kung Jin and cupping his face
before kissing him.
The kiss surprised everyone, even Johnny. Although he didn't want to show that
it did. So Johnny did what he did best and walked through the portal to Hell
while trying to look cooler than anyone one in the world, with Kung Jin and
Sareena right behind him, off to start their bleak mission.

Chapter Notes

Kung Jim's mind was spinning all over the place. He really didn't know what was
going on. Everything was going so fast, it was all happening at once. One
minute he was kissing the man of his dreams and the next minute everyone was
acting as if it hadn't happened.
The trio further advanced deeper into the neatherrealm, hardly stopping. After
30 minutes of traveling without much conversing besides small talk, they
arrived at a crossroads. Now they were stuck.
"Just great. So which way should we take?" Johnny asked, agitated.
"Right. You can never be wrong taking the right path." Jin winked at Johnny,
causing the older man to laugh.
"So when did this.. relationship.. between you two happen anyways?" Sareena
asked in curiosity.
"I have had the hugest crush on Mr. Cage(Jin began but when he seen Johnny's
smile faulted he fixed his mistake), I mean, Johnny, for as long as I've been
on the team. He is as close to perfection as it gets. And honestly, I feel
lucky just to be in his presence. I don't know his story though." Jin revealed,
and he and Sareena were now both looking at Johnny for his revelation.
Johnny blushed. "I don't know. It just sort of.. I don't know. When Jin first
called me Johnny, it just, felt right. And it was arousing to tell the truth."
He winked at Jin, causing the young shaolin to blush. "But when Sonya was going
off about us, it didn't bother me when she was putting me down. I'm used to it.
But when she put him down, I don't know how to explain it. I just know that you
have really soft lips and its getting hot in here, even though were in hell,
and Sonya's a bitch." Johnny admitted his feelings.
"Wow. So I really do have soft lips?" Asked Jin for reassurance.
Johnny beamed. "Of course silly." Johnny laughed.
Sareena smiled. "I think its best if we split up. I'll let you two go that way.
Stick together though. I'll go this way." Sareena said as she went down the
left path.
The boys were finally alone. They walked in silence for about 5 minutes before
Johnny spoke.
"Did you really mean it?"
"Mean what?"
"When you said you thought I was perfection and that you feel lucky to be in my
presence. Did you mean that?"
"Of course I meant that. Johnny, your body is like the definition of hot. I'm
still shocked that someone like you likes someone like me." Jin admitted.
"Johnny frowned. "What do you mean? You are so attractive though." Johnny said,
looking into the younger mans eyes. "I'm getting old. But you. You're so young,
and hot." Johnny started to close the distance between them. "And
irresistible." Johnny said, his face inches away from Kung Jin's. He finished
his journey towards the younger man, and mashed their mouths together. Johnny
wrapped his arms around Kung Jim's neck, and Jin moved his hands down to
Johnny's hips. They began to make out for a few minutes, before they broke
apart for air.
"As much as I loved that, I think we should go." Johnny said panting.
"I agree. We need to make sure we meet up with Sareena."
"Don't worry though. When we get back home, you're coming over. Were going to
take this further. I really want to Jin. You make me feel special. You make me
feel young again. I.. I love being around you."
Jin had never heard anything more beautiful. "Johnny, thank you so much. From
where I come from, being gay is a monstrous thing to be. You're looked down
upon and thought of as worthless. You're the first person that has actually
made me feel like I belong somewhere."
Johnny thought he was fixing to cry. "I'm really glad I picked you to be on
this team. I swear you make every day worth it."
They walked for about 25 minutes before they had finally arrived outside the
netherrealm palace.
But what they saw wasn't pleasant. They got their wish. They'd found the
revenants, but they had Sareena. What would they do.
Chapter End Notes
     Ta-da! Another chapter underneath my belt. Hope you guys still tune
     in to this story. I know I'm not the best updater, I suck tbh. But
     hopefully Chapter 6 helped make up for it a little. And hopefully
     Chapter 7 is on its way. But, that's it for now. And scene.
