"I think that's everyone who's immediately involved." Tony said. "You thinking Having Jackson will put the vote in you favor?" Logan asked. "He's a smart guy." Tony said. "Yeah he's also not the kind of kid to vote for himself. Kid has an issue with bias like that."
"You saying Jackson would vote for Makoto?" Cap said. He was silent for a moment before smirking "You know... there is option 3... just saying Tony... I don't think I've ever been to a gay wedding."
"That doesn't mean I can't teach you some other things that may come in handy." The Coelacanth said. "Most notably my infamous Fading Strike. I'm surprised Eris was able to pick it up so quickly just by seeing me use it, but she can't control it like I can because she hasn't mastered it."
"What do you mean?" Tony asked confused.
"Nothing Tony. I was making a joke about having Makot and Jackson raise Eden as a couple." Cap was still smiling.
"Oh." Tony said. "I don't think Jackson will voet for Makoto either." Logan said. "Chances are the kid will abstain from voting entirely
Eric caught up to her. "Hey.. what happened? I'm sorry if my parents got you upset. "
"Hmmm now that sounds fun." Nyx smiled
The Wordsmith Myth
"i think there's more to it than that." Fell said. "You have a respect for hinm. One that you don't have for the rest of us."Seir was still standing across the street from the hero league watching people come and go. He recognized some, others not really. Minerva appeared next to him with Fell as he was never that far behind. She was wearing her civilian clothes. "You're still here? Is it really that exciting watching people come and go from that place? "
Seir shrugged. " maybe. I need to figure a way to get access to their network again. Passwords have already been changed. Plus I might see someone who Blackmorph could use to make a monster."
Minerva rolled her eyes. "Now your scouting potential targets for him. Nyx was right you are like a sidekick for us villains."
"I agree. What about James Coppernicus and Reed Richards? Think they should stay out?" Cap asked
Jei shakes her head, but doesn't move her hands from covering her face. "I-I'm sorry. I-I'm overreacting like usual." She tries to take deep breaths to calm herself, but it doesn't work. Her heart pounds in her chest.
"Its okay. I'm here whenever you want to talk." He said.
She slowly lowers her trembling hands. "Eric..." Jei turns to him and hugs him tight, sobbing into his chest.
Eric pats her back gently just letting her cry.
Jei cries for a few minutes before letting him go and wiping her cheeks. She stares at the ground. "I'm sorry. I ruined your dinner."
"Observe." He says as he sets up a target a few yards away. He draws his sword and leans forward to strike. Suddenly, he disappears and when he reappears, he slices the target in half.
"James and Reed are scoentists first. They'll want to prod her and test her." Tony said. "I do to... But I'm resisiting."
"Resist harder. She's a human being." Cap said "Hearing that is kinda pushing my vote to Makoto."
"Jacksons not going to experiment on her." Tony said. "Besides I'm not gonna run any sort of tests on her." Tony said as they landed. A few hours later Jackson arrived. He absorbed the knowledge of russian from Logan and went to Eden. "You must be Eden. I'm Jackson... I'm kind of like you in a way." He said.
Eden rubbed her eyes as she looked at Jackson "Like me how?" She asked
"You didnt ruin it. So do you want to start from the beginning? You look like you want to get something off your chest. " he said.
"Hmm impressive " she nods
Jei sighs and nods. "When I was a kid, my father used to beat me and my mother. It went on for years. I always wondered why my mother didn't try to leave him. She would just smile at me and tell me everything will be okay. But, she was wrong. A few months ago...he killed her. That was when my ability went out of control. That's why my ability is a curse. If I can't control my emotions, I can't control it."
