George's Point of View

George finished getting his police uniform on as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. He knew that being a cop would mean another crazy day of trying to catch the masked Vigilanty, answering any calls that come but it was worth it. All the money he earned he used to help his mother keep the house clean and to provide for his family.

Once his police uniform was in place George grabbed his badge, gun, handcuffs and more before heading out of his room and into the kitchen where his family sat. As he passed by his mom, he gave her a kiss on the cheek before taking his place at the table.

"Good morning." He said simply, earning a few mumbled good mornings in return.
Suddenly a colorful picture was shoved in his face by an overjoyed little girl.

"George! George! George!!" His little sister, Melody chanted as she jumped up and down.
"Look what I drew! It's you and Spiderman and look! There's me and Leo and Jason, and Dedrick, and there's Lance and Sasha and there's Mama!!" Melody said as she pointed to each messily drawn stick figure that kinda resembled each person they were named.

George smiled and picked Melody up so she sat in his lap and looked down at her drawing.

"Melodía! You really drew this?" He asked looking astonished, to which Melody nodded vigorously. (Melodía = Melody in spanish)

"This is wonderful! It belongs in an art gallery." He said as he poked her sides causing Melody to squeal and giggle as she tried to escape his grasp.

Mrs. McClain smiled at her kids before ruffling George's hair as she took Melody's art.

"Lets hang this up then if it's so wonderful." She said as she placed it on the fridge with a magnet to hold it up.
"There, displayed proudly for all to see. You have such talent, bebita." Mrs. McClain said as she kissed Melody's cheeks. Melody let out a giggle as she smiled at her mother. (Bebita = Baby girl in spanish)

"Now, you little stinker, Sasha is going to clean you up for school. Sasha?" Mrs. McClain called to her second oldest who just finished breakfast.

Sasha quickly gulped down her orange juice before wiping her face and took care of her dishes.
"Come on hermanita, let's go give you a bath." Sasha smiled as she picked Melody up of George's lap and carried her upstairs. (Hermanita = Little sister in spanish)

"Bye bye Georgie!! Have fun being a hero!!" Melody called as she waved her chubby fingers to her brother. (I swear if there are any 'It' movie comments xD)
George smiled and waved back before he sighed and leaned back in his chair. He thanked his mother for breakfast and began eating when a certain brother of his rushed down the stairs.

George smiled at Lance and chuckled softly. "Late riser?" He asked in a teasing tone, earning a half assed glare from said male.
"What kept you up?" George asked serious as he continued to eat.

He watched as Lance struggled with his own thoughts before sighing. "Ok you know how I auditioned for the school musical last week?" He started off, to which George nodded.
"Well I didn't make it, but that's not what's bothering me. After me and Keith auditioned, he ran out and I followed him and everything was kind of a blur then. He said some things and then..." George watched as Lance turned bright red and look down at his plate.

George thought the worse and frowned. "Are you guys not friends anymore?" He asked knowing Lance's feelings towards the raven haired male.

Lance looked up at him and shook his head. "No.. He kissed me." He said and blushed. Lance's mom gasped and turned to face Lance.

"Oh my baby you had your first kiss!!" Mrs. McClain said and rushed forward, hugging and kissing Lance's cheek. "¡Mi pequeño bebe! Estoy tan feliz, tu primer beso y con el chico que te gusta." She gushed as she continued to smother Lance. (I'll let you guys figure out what she said on your own ;) )

Lance groaned and turned brighter red. "Mama!" He said embarrassed. Mrs. McClain backed away and laughed.
"I'm sorry but you are my baby boy. I'll stop but eat up so you can go to school." She said before turning back to help Leo with his food.

The McClain family already knew about Lance's sexuality since he came out as Bisexual in 8th grade. They accepted him and later Sasha came out as bisexual as well.

George smiled at Lance as he finished his breakfast. "How about this. You tell me the rest while I take you to school ok? I'll wait while you eat." He said to which Lance nodded and began eating.

George got up and cleaned his dishes before walking into the living room. He looked around at all the family pictures and smiled softly as his eyes glanced over all the picture frames of his families smiling faces.
He stopped at one photo and smiled sadly, carefully picking it up to look at it. The photo was of an officer and he was standing in their living room with a proud smile on his face. It was his father who died 3 years ago from being shot by a criminal. That's why George joined the police force.
To honor his dad and continue in his name.

"George?" A voice broke him from his thoughts. Putting the photo down carefully George turned and saw Lance ready with his school bag in hand.

"Sorry. Ready to go?" He asked to which Lance nodded and smiled softly. George smiled and clapped his hands together.
"Then let's go. Bye Mama! I'm taking Lance to school then I'll be off to work!" He called before saying goodbye to everyone else. He and Lance walked out of the house and got into the cop car that George drove.

"Ok now back to what you were saying before." George said as he started the drive to school.
Lance sighed and started to mess with the sleeves of his shirt.

"Well he kissed me and... I liked it. I kissed back but just like that he was gone." Lance said frowning in thought.
"He just disappeared?" George asked confused to which Lance nodded and continued talking.
"Yeah and we didn't talk at all over the weekend and I don't know what to do.."

George was silent for a moment before he spoke up, "Tell him how you feel. Ask him about it. Just talk to him. Hopefully things will work out." He said calmly as he pulled up to the front of the school. He stopped the car and turned towards Lance.
"Just talk to him about it? But like what do i say? When should I talk to him? What if he doesn't want to talk? What if he hates-" lance rambled only to be stopped by George.

"Lance calm down. There is no way Keith can resist the McClain charm," he joked with a smile causing the other to laugh, "Now go, talk to him and have a good day at school. I will see you at home ok?" George asked. Lance nodded and smiled at his older brother.
"Good. I love you." He said as he hugged Lance. "Love you too." Lance said with a smile as he hugged back.

George smiled and waved to Lance as he got out and ran up the steps of the school. With a content sigh, George pulled away from the school and headed in for work.

-

'God dammit!' George thought as his cop car once again pulled up in front of Lance's school. Getting out he made sure everyone that was out there was ok before going over to the other officers that had turned up. He had just gotten called in, hearing about how the high school was under attack from what people said was a giant lizard. Sights of Spiderman had been reported so of course George responded.

"Everyone is evacuated, the Vigilanty and the lizard man are still inside on the first floor. Now we-" an office wad explaining before someone, who George recognised as Pidge ran up.

"Not everyone is out!" They called as they ran up. They handed their phone to George as they explained.
"There are 2 other civilians in there, though if you look one is leaving," they explained and pointed to the red dot that was leaving in a hurry. Right then a teacher burst out of the doors and ran into the crowd.

George was at lost for words as he turned back to Pidge.
"How in the hell... it doesn't matter, do you have any idea who could be in there?" He asked, his mind a blur with may questions.
George heard faint talking come from Pidge's ear piece before they looked around with wide eyes.

"It's Lance." They said as they took their phone back and started typing fast on it. George's mind went numb as he thought about his little brother in danger. He looked over Pidge's shoulder and ran a hand through his brown hair.

"Where does it say he is?" He asked in a hurry as other police officers started to direct people on what to do and where to go. After a moment of silence from the techy before they pointed in the right direction. "That way, second floor overpass." They said before George took 2 other officers and ran down in that direction.

He turned the corner and his breath caught in his throat.
He saw Lance swinging under the over pass, hanging by web. George grabbed his radio and told police officers to head in.

"Lance! I'm gonna get you down ok?" He called to which Lance shaking replied with an ok. It took a while but George finally had Lance safely on the ground. He hugged him tightly which on resulted in Lance whimpering in pain. George pulled back quickly and looked over Lance before taking his arm carefully in his hand. Lance flinched and George sighed, taking Lance over to an ambulance to have him checked over and taken to the hospital.

As Lance sat in the back of the ambulance George was pacing in front of him.

"George..." Lance tried to speak but George cut him off.

"Lance you couldn't have gotten hurt worse... why? Why didn't you leave right when you saw danger?" George asked turning towards his brother.
"I don't want anything to happen to you. With that damn Spiderman in there and the freaking lizard man you could have gotten hurt worse." George ranted.

"Spider-Man isn't a vigilanty, George. He saved me, he's a good guy-" Lance tried to defend but George shook his head.

"He is a damned Vigilanty that thinks he could do good by catching bad guys but he's just making officers like me look stupid!" George said as he stopped walking and faced Lance.

"That is enough of this ok. I have a job to do. You are going to go to the hospital and call Mama so she can be with you. I'll visit later, if I have a chance to get off." George said as he sighed. Lance nodded and soon the ambulance took him off to the hospital, leaving George there.

George ran a hand down his face as he gathered officers around his cop car.

"Alright. We know Spider-Man is out there and will want to stop whatever this creature is. I want men on the look for him. If you see him, radio me and we will deal with it accordingly ok?" He said and everyone nodded.
"Good now let's go." He said and everyone went on their way.

-

"George, he's been spotted swinging on 105th street, headed uptown." His radio spoke, causing George to break in action.

"Get to the helicopters now! He is not getting away this time." He said as he and the other officers started preparing for the confrontation. Once everyone was suited up they split up, some going to cop cars, others heading with George to the helicopters.

With his headset on and his seat belt buckled, the helicopter that held George took off, heading uptown by 105th street.
