The Human Strikes Back
By BetterInTexas

Chapter 12:
Edward POV
“I can’t believe that asshole!” I shouted as soon as I saw my Bella going off with robot boy and his toy pistol.
“You would not believe the things he was thinking about doing with Bella! And Bella, always ready to throw herself in front of danger and he lets her!”
I didn’t know what I should do. What I could do. I couldn’t kidnap her. I don’t think she is completely over me but if I take her away from this “man” she will definitely be angry. If I show or talk to her about my disapproval this new Bella will probably become more deeply attached to him. I had no idea what to do.
“Edward you agreed to let her go. You wanted to check the guy out and while you are right that he is dangerous he is fully capable of protecting her and making sure she can protect herself.” Rosalie said.
Shut up Rosalie.
“Shut up Rosalie.”
“I wonder what he is keeping from us. He was way too confident that he and his team could kill us and he did not strike me as a man prone to overconfidence. ” Jasper added. “Did you get anything out of his head Edward?”
“Absolutely nothing. From the moment he realized I was a mind reader all he consciously thought about was having sex with Bella when that helmet wasn’t on his head.
“I knew I loved this guy” Emmett said. I growled at him but nobody seems to mind. What the hell is going on here?
“Does anybody not see the danger? He is going to willingly invite the Volturi here so he can take them on. The strongest vampires don’t do this.”
“That’s probably why it will work.” Jasper said. “Between the humans and the wolves the Volturi will not know what hit them. If we were to take on the Volturi we would lose because we would fight like vampires. The Volturi have never fought humans or wolves. And those weapons they have can definitely break up and burn a vampire. He never would have been so confident if they didn’t work and hadn’t in the past and I felt nothing but confidence from him. “
“This is ridiculous. I can’t believe I am the only one who has a problem with putting Bella in danger.” I stated indignantly.
At that time Esme finally spoke up. ” I thought he was lovely, and very handsome. Did you see the way they looked at each other?”
“I know right, I’m so happy for her.” Rosalie said.
“He is hot in a dangerous sort of way isn’t he. ” Alice joined in. I give up.
“I’m going to hunt.”
JPOV
Laying in Bella’s bed after what I have to say was bordering on animalistic sex after a day like today was very soothing. We had to get some things worked out. I spanked her for leading me into a coven of vampires. She liked it. Giggidy. She punished me in a way I won’t mention for threatening her surrogate mother. Now spooning in her bed we laid back exhausted just happy being with each other.
“So what do you want for Christmas?” She asked.
“It’s three days away and you haven’t got me a Christmas present? What the hell Bella?”
“I had one but that was before I found out you had laser guns and Iron Man armor. It doesn’t seem as cool a present now.”
“Laser guns are a hard act to follow. That reminds me we have to find a place for you to learn to shoot one. I think you will like it. It’s got the regular feel of an assault rifle but no kick. There is some heat on the cheek if you have a sustained blast for a few seconds but one second is all you should need to get an appropriate pulse to fry a vamp. They are way too fast to lead like a normal target of course, so you will have to wait until they are distracted and stopped.
“How are they going to be distracted?”
“Don’t worry about that darling. By the time we are ready to shoot them they won’t know what hit them. I need to talk to your wolf pack. And I need to talk to all of them. Including your ex friend Jacob Black. I realize he lost the girl of his dreams and all but he is a fucking werewolf and its time he manned up and talked to you so we can get this shit in the open and get to killin vamps. So first things first. Let me talk to my boss and have the team take some R&R in the area. I think he is going to be excited about the plan. We have been trying to get these Italian bastards for years but they hardly ever come to the States.”
“Do we have to get out of bed?”
“BELLA I’M Home. ” Charlie.
“Yes I would say right now would be a great time to get out of bed.”
After talking to Charlie and filling him in on the days events he broke down laughing for about 5 minutes. After he came up for air, he asked if I really called Edward GQ and if the Cullens door really got blown off. I assured him that it had been. He went on to tell me about the Cullens and how much he really did not like Edward. Can’t say I blame him. Still having a hard time understanding why Bells was hung up on the asshole but hey, we were all in a different mindset when we were 18. I’m pretty sure I wanted to be in the Peace Corps.
I went outside and called my boss. I don’t know who my boss is. He could be a computer generated voice for all I knew. I answered to him or direct orders from the President. He answered to the President. None of us had ever seen him. Supposedly this is so if we get captured by a mind reading vampire we can’t give identities away.
I explained the previous week’s events leading up to today. He took it all in stride and while he would like to keep everything in house he understood the opportunity to take out the Volturi with help was too good an offer to pass up. He agreed with my assessment of the Wolf magic and the Cullens non threats to the human race as I saw it. He reiterated that I should speak to them about staying away from teenagers. All in all it was a good situation. He pretty much told me to let him know what was needed, keep it as contained as possible, evaluate potential threats and allies and take care of business. I told him what I would need for now and he promised to find some extra black op specialists to take care of things.
Now it was time to talk to the Wolves and I knew just who to call.
“Sam?”
“Yes this is Sam.”
“Sam this is Jason, Bella’s boyfriend. I need to talk to you and your friends as soon as possible.”
“My friends?”
“Yeah your big hairy friends. And no, Bella did not tell me. I figured it out for myself. I could bore you with the details and you could deny it but I really am not in the mood for bullshit. I found myself surrounded by leeches today and had to have my friends come bail me out of potential trouble. ” I want to know what I am working with up here. Who’s a friend and who isn’t. Cause Sam I got to tell you, I am quickly getting into a mindset of, if you aren’t with me your against me. And I don’t take kindly to those against me Sam.”
Silence for a few seconds. “Come to my house, Bella knows how to get there.”
Bella walked out as I hung up the phone. Looking so good. Wearing tight jeans and a thick leather jacket and a Houston Texans wool cap over her head.
“Baby, lets go see some wolves.”
