[b][i][u]Daddy Issues...[/u][/i][/b]
A man was standing in the hangar bay, no ship brought him in, no one saw him walk in, he just seemingly "appeared". He had green, deep eyes, with dark brown slicked back hair and a matching trimmed beard, a large, faded scar trailed across his face. He wore a buttoned up black leather trench coat with a grey undershirt and black dress pants and boots. He sighed, his mere presence grasping the eyes of many. He began to walk to the Training Room, slowly taking his time as if he was thinking something. Even a Hyper-Evolved Brain cannot comprehend the words to say to long lost family, so he decided he was going to wing it.
Once he made his way to the Training Room, he saw Legend, checking his Gauss Rifle. Their faces look almost identical, the man's face just slightly more worn. It was obvious they were family. The man spoke, his voice sincere.
"Son..."
Legends face immediately shot up and stared. It was a mix of anger, rage, sadness, elation, happiness and confusion. Of course, the anger took hold of Legend first.
"Why?"
He exclaimed angrily. The man, supposedly his father, remained silent. Legend stood up, his face twisted.
"WHY?!?!"
"Son!"
The man's order silence Legend.
"Look, let's not get off the wrong foot. We both know if we start yelling at each other your gonna crash this damn ship."
Legend sighed angrily.
"What. The. Hell. Do. You. Want?"
"Your respect."
"Ha! Oh sure! If it was that easy! For a son to forgive a father who abandoned him when his mother died!"
"I did not abandon you!"
"YES YOU DID!"
Legend slammed his hand down on a bench next to him, causing the metal to embed itself into the ships floor. His father sighed, as the bench repaired itself as does the floor.
"I'm sorry. About what happened."
"You think a sorry can change the past?"
"No. But it better damn well have you looking at the future."
Legend glared at him.
"Dad... Kent.... Whatever the -blam!- you wanna be called. I joined the merc business to forget the past, I soon learned that all it did was dig it up. Look, my life has been a living shithole for the past 10 years, so I suggest you -blam!- off."
"You think your life is hard, son? I traveled through dimensions trying to find you, it's not easy when your the only mind I can't read. I killed a lot of people, did a lot of things I'm not proud of, and they all come back to haunt me every time I try to get some sleep."
"So, you found me. Yay. Can you -blam!- off now?"
"Son, you expect me to just leave the most important person in my life when I haven't seen them in over 10 years?"
"Yep."
Legend sits down and goes back to his rifle. Kent crosses his arms, his nostrils flaring. He soon calms down, and smirks. He sits down on a bench next to him, and stares at his son. Legend notices and stares strangely at Kent.
"Uuuuuuuumm...."
His father remained silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Wanna get a drink?"
"Yeah."
And they do just that. After a couple, non-intoxicating bottles of beer, the father and son sat down at the Bar, talking things over...

English
-
[b]he starts moving around and sits up after a minute[/b] Both of you smell similar
-
Legend raises an eyebrow and speaks. "Smell?"
-
Yes your scent is similar...same blood
-
Legend chuckles. "No shit." Kent does the same. "Most people can tell by just looking at our faces."
-
I would love to but my eyesight is a bit off today...surgeries are unpleasant
-
Kent tilts his head. "I can help with that."
-
-
"I can perform surgery with my Telekinesis, I could shut down your nerves, making it painless."
-
Sounds risky...the only reason I had surgery is because my heart wasn't working properly since they removed the clamps..which was used as a limiter
-
"Well... It is up to you."
-
I don't know you very well either...you might have some kind of grudge against me
-
Kent chuckles. "I doubt it."
-
[b]he's silent for a minute before he finally gets his drink and downs it quickly then ordering another[/b] I'm not exactly the kind of person many people like...or want to meet.....my abnormalities often get me very rude comments or harassment so I don't like taking chances
-
"It's ok, I'm not religious." Legend stares at Kent. "What do you mean? What does that have to do with anything?"
-
So what you know what I am? Wanna dance in the pale moonlight?
-
"Well, Lucifer. If depends on what dancing in the pale moonlight means..." Legend clears his throat. "Or are you just quoting Joker?"
-
Young man you know your stuff..it's been awhile since I've watched that and I had to watch it while hanging from a ceiling
-
Legend chuckles. "I've memorized the entire damn movie."
-
That's the only line I remembered [b]he leans forward on the counter top, The three dogs are now staring at legend and his father[/b]
-
They both look at the dogs. Kent smiles and replies. "Me and Legend are big dog people, cute pets you got there."
-
I would explain the story but simply put they're my children thanks to a cursed object [b]he stretches and drops the blanket on the ground, he wasn't wearing a shirt revealing the multiple scars on his torso and fresh stitching in his chest but one odd feature was the tail resting on his lap[/b] The black one with the grey patch on her left eye can be a bit of a bitch
-
They both chuckle, seemingly unphased by the scars.
-
It sucks when you're in the middle of sharpening swords and knives and your ship gets shot down [b]he leans on the counter top again and the grey dog walks over and nudges his leg[/b] This ones Tiberius and the lovely white is Karma
-
Suddenly, a bark is heard in the doorway. You turn to see a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, with a orange-yellow coat with splotches of black, and with yellow eyes. Kent smiled and Legend smiled even wider. Legend got down from his seat and kneeled, opening his arms. "Hey, Boba!" At the sound of his name, Boba comes running into Legends arms, licking him like crazy.

[b]the man let out a quiet mumble[/b] [i]oh shit[/i]
