behavior towards you when you presented yourself to the people standing outside shows to me that he actually cares about you very deeply. I wasn’t sure how he felt about being saddled with raising you till he actually told me that it helped him find a purpose in life and he doesn’t regret it.”
He felt Victoria relax underneath his hand as Natasha paused from talking to hear his daughter speak in a soft tone “Mama.”
He released his hand from her shoulder as he saw Natasha released Victoria’s hand followed by Victoria embracing her mother who hugged her back. He heard crying sounds sounding like Victoria was crying while being hugged as he saw Natasha’s expression on her face showed happiness on it. Jinks sighed as Madisoni hugged both females with his arms around each of them looking like he was relieved by the expression on his face. He gently placed his arms around both females underneath Madisoni’s arms to feel his daughter and Natasha seemingly happy with each other. Jinks sighed softly as Madisoni released his hold on both females followed by he doing the same. He eyed both females who released their hold on each other to see Natasha put hands on Victoria’s face as if wiping away her tears while smiling a gentle smile at her. Jinks hear door open and a throat clearing noise which he spots a guard at the door that he senses is here to escort Natasha and Madisoni out.
He speaks to Natasha “You’ll see Victoria again-” which Natasha interrupts speaking “I knows of that for I senses it.”
He doesn’t comment as Natasha and Madisoni leave following the guard out. He goes to Victoria to gently place a hand on her shoulder which yanks it off followed by her hugging him in a bear hug which he forces himself to relax while sensing she’s upset and wanted him to comfort her. He stands allowing his daughter to hug him as long as she wants while keeping himself relaxed just to help her calm down from her upset state. He feels fine as Victoria releases her hold on him and then he follows her out taking a route to the penthouse. Once inside he goes to the library room to sit and feeling himself tired shuts his eyes only to open them when he finds the chair gone from him while falling backwards onto the floor.
Anubis’ head comes into his eyes sight the gonoid head warrior whispering “I’m insisting Horus to get up!”
Jinks do only to find he kept to a kneeling position by the hawk guards having hands on his shoulders. He frowns as he feels pain in his back hitting him there who he arches his back grimacing as the pain continues hitting him. He wills the master through to find himself floating above his body and seeing it change into Lance and stiffens seeing a Hawk guard yank off Lance’s crown and then Lance slides to the floor unconscious. He finds himself standing on a familiar beach facing the Meritanians who have heads bowed.
He hears Shad’s voice “I’m asking the Meritanians to find Horus and get rid of him.” which makes him angry.
He hears Onya’s voice speaking “Meritanians, you’re to thank Ajax for the idea for his planning worked.” which makes him angrier.
He raises his hands willing the Master through to have his hands palms up and then his hands are suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands which he looks on his right to see the hands owner is Ajax as he wills the Master away from him. Jinks yanked his hands out of Ajax’s grip to glare at his son who had a frown on his face. He fisted one his hands and brought it to Ajax’s face who took a step back while grimacing from the blow. Jinks turned to face Ajax with arms folded glaring at his son who formed a frown on his face.
He heard Shad’s voice speaking “Meritanians have you found Horus yet? Get rid of him once he’s found now!”
He spoke as Ajax frowned at him “I’m disappointed in you, Ajax.”
He heard the Meritanians give off hissing sounds as he glared at Ajax who continued to frown at him. Jinks felt a coldness feeling hit his back followed by feelings of ropes wrapping around his arms and legs with a pulling sensation making him walk backwards. He jerked against the ropes struggling against their ironclad grips as he was pulled backwards.
He heard Ajax speak “Goodbye father.”
He felt the coldness feeling become dormant followed by smoke blowing into his eyes sight as Ajax and the beach disappeared from view with the smoke clouding in his sight. Jinks felt the ropes released their hold on him to find he standing on solid ground as the smoke cleared away showing himself standing on a grassy cliff with a vast moving ocean down below. He felt rage hit him folded his arms willing the emotion to go away but the anger persisted hitting him hard. He felt an urge to roar hit him lowered his arms and opened his mouth roaring an inhuman sound of anger sounding in a very loud tone which he kept on roaring and roaring. He roared till the anger stopped abruptly which he cut his roaring to fold his arms while staring at the ocean. He stared at the ocean feeling himself calm to frown as he heard a throat clearing noise off his left jerked his head in that direction to stare with eyes widen at a male Human wearing a grey business suit with a black tie and a white shirt underneath. Jinks turned to face the Human with a frown sensing that there was something familiar about the male but couldn’t place it.
He stared at the male who spoke in a familiar voice “Jinks, you have forgotten me.”
He frowned struggling to place the male who continued speaking “When I lived I was known as Roosevelt Knight a descendant of Lance Richard or should I say of you.”
Jinks stiffened widening his eyes as he realized that the male was not kidding on what he said identifying him as Roosevelt.
He stared at Roosevelt he recognized who spoke “The All Seeing One sent me with a message and orders for you to do something for him.”
He unfolded his arms to bob his head in a short yes gesture as Roosevelt paused then continued speaking “He told me to tell you that what you do for him will help you and your father so listen carefully.”
Jinks listened as Roosevelt kept talking “He orders you to help Lance your father confront his past and heal from the pain of it.”
Jinks felt himself feeling upset hearing Roosevelt’s words who paused to nod his head with firmness in his eyes.
He groaned out loud a sound of pain and spoke “That is something I’m not sure I can do it judging by how angry my father is.”
Roosevelt spoke “He said that he’s aware of your feelings towards that but he mentioned that it’s the only way to help yourself and your father. I should add that he included that your father is being told of this by another source that is reacting violently to this.”
He groaned out loud a groaning sound and spoke “Did he specify how I can help my father?”
He stared at Roosevelt who spoke “You know the way to help your father like you helped yourself with your past.”
He spoke “Oh I get it but I don’t see how I can help my father without him being controlled by his anger.”
He heard Roosevelt speak “That is something you must endure by showing that you care about your father by your connection to him.”
He frowned to nod his head feeling himself relieved within him as Roosevelt walked up to him to place a hand on his shoulder.
Roosevelt spoke “Janel and the kids are doing alright. Don’t worry about them. Leave the worrying to the All Seeing One who is taking care of them like he’s taking care of me.”
Jinks sighed again as he felt a peaceful feeling hit him that made him feel more relieved. Jinks felt Roosevelt’s other hand touch his other shoulder followed by the male’s left hand touching his forehead and going lower forcing his eyes shut as he lost sensation of everything around him.
Jinks came to find himself thrust out of a ground that felt like sand to find himself facing the Meritanians who all had heads bowed and appeared to not notice his arrival.
He heard Lance’s irritated voice sounding his mind “I want my crown back you bird head freak! Get your hands off of me you gonoid freak!”
He felt an urge to kneel obeyed to do it shutting his eyes as he saw an image of the High Council’s throne room in eyes sight view that he sensed was through Lance�
�s eyes.
He heard Shad speak “Manners Lance. Where’s your manners my friend?”
Lance spoke with irritation still in his voice “You’re not my friend and I resent thievery of my crown!”
He mentally spoke as if urged to speak “Stop the attitude father. It won’t solve things.”
Jinks heard Onya speak “Perhaps Terra should toss Lance into the ocean and burn down his crown which is nothing but useless metal.”
He mentally spoke “Not one word of retort from you, father. Keep your mouth shut now!”
Jinks heard nothing from Lance but silence but a faint growling noise that he sensed was coming from his father. He saw the eyes sight narrow as if Lance’s eyes were narrowing and sensed his father’s anger.
He again mentally spoke “Calm down now. Anger won’t solve things.”
Jinks sensed Lance’s anger lowering its ebb as if his father was calming himself down. He heard Shad speak “Interesting that you’re not giving off any more ridiculous rude remarks. It seems like we finally succeeded on shutting you up which is good for your rudeness isn’t tolerated.”
Jinks felt Lance’s disgust running through him as he mentally spoke “Join the club I’m disgusted too.”
He heard nothing from Lance sensed his father was still disgusted while seeing the eyes sight still in their narrowed view. He continued to watch
