Alan was meditating in the yard to make focus Nin said the first step to their power control was focus so they need to meditate for at least 30 minutes a day as time was finishing up Ego bursts into the yard it looked nervous the bells on it’s hat jingling like a toy clown “aye Al there’s someone here for you…i-it’s someone you know….” Alan heard what Ego said and they paused tilting their head to the side wondering why Ego was being timid “i-i’ll be there in a moment” alan got their things together as they walked to the living room wondering who was here and what they wanted alan pulls their jacket on as they arrived at the living space “so Ego who’s he-.....” alan pauses and starts to shake they knew who was sitting there on the couch the well tended suit the clean shave the kempt blonde hair and the evil selfish glint in his eyes was all too familiar to alan the dirt stained hands with black nails the gold tooth they knew…it was their father alan backed away “why the hell are you here?” Alan asked in a hostile tone Alan's father Baxter scoffed, “Is that anyway to talk to your father, young man?” Baxter asked in a snarky evil tone alan narrowed their eyebrow their pupil turning red “you’re nothing more than my father” alan said trying to make a point baxter stood up glaring at alan “then i should be treated with respect” alan backed away “no you’re not my dad you’re my father you maybe the one who created me but you were never there for me” Baxter look appalled “excuse me?!” he shouted at alan stepping closer to them alan stays still and when they spoke their voice was shaky “you. Are. dead. To me” then as quick as a flash baxter slaps alan to the floor alan falls faster than they could think Mama k tries to rush to alan But baxter shoved her away “Stay away from my son this boy needs to be disciplined” Baxter grabbed alan by their top right arm and tries to drag them away but alan shoved him away and looked baxter dead in the eyes “i’m not the helpless little boy you used to beat around anymore i’m not helpless anymore” Baxter growls and he tries to hit alan this time with a closed fist but alan dogged the blow their eye was now the color of gold and the star in their pupil was now a symbol that meant “protection” in angle tongue Baxter paused “y-you’re a fucking freak” he stuttered out alan grabs baxter by the neck their eye narrowed they sprout wings from their back alan pulled baxter closer to them and they whispered in a scary voice “get out” and they throw baxter down and baxter runs as fast as he could to the door but before he leaves he says “mark my words you’ll regret this boy i swear it” and then baxter leaves alan’s pupil went back to the star and alan’s eye color went back to baby blue alan looks at their wings and they giggle “woah these look badass!” Nin scoffs “that’s nothing to what you could’ve done to him” alan paused and thought for a moment “yeah now that i think about it that would’ve been better but….i want him to live” Nin tilts his head to the side “why…why the hell would you want someone that evil to live?” alan sighs “because….i can’t help but love him….i promised myself i’d always forgive someone for their actions….that includes my father"
