"When I fought with PENELOPE LIVY, it was helpful to have Elisabeth Fiorelli by my side."

[break][break] In the weeks that followed their last, Jayden had accompanied his Underboss into the explorations of new terrain, long before Rocket ever dictated an official following. This time, however, they had an agenda in mind.

[break][break] A stone - the Light Stone - sat in the palm of his hand.

[break][break] It was an attempt to see what would trigger it within the cavernous walls, but so far, nothing of note had occurred yet.

[break][break] "Similarly, in the raid, it was helpful to have Fern there beside me."

[break][break] There was a discovery on the precipice of his thoughts, on the tip of his tongue and nearly ready to be said allowed. But not quite yet.

[break][break] Blue eyes flickered towards Theo.

He mulls over the thought.

[break][break] It is foggy, days later, of everything that had happened. He can still remember the flicker of heat against his skin as he'd churned away at her torrent of flames.

[break][break] "She supported me," he says eventually, stating the obvious. "Her healing powers were helpful the same way that bryan delarosa's are. My powers chip away at me - " Mentally, physically. "And their powers replenish what is lost."

[break][break] But there is more. More that he is not saying, that is on the tip his tongue, the corner of his heart.

[break][break] Thoughts that could surface, but some reason, have not yet.

[break][break] "You said last time you didn't trust me," he says, fingers closing around the stone. "What can I do to ensure that trust?"

[break][break] He frowns.

[break][break] "It's not just my avatarship, is it?"

[break][break] He still remembers THEO BECKETT's voice outside of the med bay in the dream, after his arm had been charred away to bits. Cillian Quinn and Elisabeth Fiorelli had worried over him then, where Theo had not.

she supported me.[break][break]

has theo not been doing the same? has he not tried his hardest to be the tether jayden cross needs? the image of him casting LIFE DEW into their enraged form comes back to him, leaving a sour aftertaste in his mouth.[break][break]

but before he can comment on it, he's pulled away by a question.[break][break]

"what do you mean?"[break][break]

Some days, the memories are just a blur, just as any other dream he's ever felt. Other days, they come in sharp and in full-focus — the burst of hurt in his chest when he thinks about the way that Rocket discarded him so easily, the way that mint frost and THEO BECKETT had no problem in replacing him.

[break][break] 'You knew that was the way things were,' the sinister voice inside of him whispered. 'They never cared about you.'

[break][break] "You've never really trusted me," he says. His eyes are a sea of unending cerulean blue, the same ocean that his father once tried to drown him in. "Because of my father."

met with a sea of unending cerulean blue, theo shakes his head and stands his ground, unmoving despite the waves that threaten to crash over him.[break][break]

"i molded you into the person you are today not because it was expected of me, not because i knew you'd be an asset, and especially not because of your father, but because i trusted you."[break][break]

despite all that has happened, he still trusts the admin before him.[break][break]

The wind howls in his ears, the waves roar, threatening to crash against them both.

[break][break] A HATEFUL tide strong enough to pull them under, if they'd let it.

[break][break] But THEO BECKETT is a rock, an anchor, the kind of fortitude that can only be built by years of torture and suffering in Kanto Rocket. Forged in a kiln that is as deadly as their own.

[break][break] Something that can only be borne from a man who has known someone as malevolent as his father's anger.

[break][break] "I..."

[break][break] Those eyes flicker, turning from frigid blue to softened azure.

[break][break] "I'm sorry," he says eventually, expression shuttering into himself. The tide recedes. "I... I don't know what came over me, sir."

[break][break] He shakes his head.

[break][break] "No. That's a lie. I know why."

[break][break] The silence between them speaks for himself, but Jayden knows - again, from years under Theo's watchful gaze, his caring mentorship - that this is not enough. As THEO BECKETT had said before, in that frozen tundra, before he'd burned him alive:

[break][break] Use your words.

[break][break] "I met Father Winter 2." Dionysus. "In a dream, weeks ago."

[break][break] His voice is dry, like paper ash.

[break][break] "You died in it."

jayden cross's revelation does not warrant surprise. it would've, had it not been for Lulu Flint telling him the same thing a few days ago, so the only reaction theo gives is a tilt of his head.[break][break]

more questions rise to the surface but only one is voiced.[break][break]

"did it relieve you?"[break][break]

Relieve him? No, it -

[break][break] "Why would it relieve me?" he blurted, eyes flashing as it turned to him. His chest ached. He hadn't wanted THEO BECKETT to die, he hadn't wanted anyone to die. It was because of him that he had failed, it was because of his own weakness that he hadn't been there when Elisabeth Fiorelli had betrayed them all with MATIAS SILPH.

[break][break] He clenched his jaw.

Was it that obvious?

[break][break] "I don't..." he said, struggling to find the words. "I don't hate you."

[break][break] His eyes flashed for a moment, burning with the memory of everyone that he did hate. People like PENELOPE LIVY or MATIAS SILPH, people like Ashley Shepard and Isaac Merlo.

[break][break] The color dimmed back to softer blue, like that of steady water.

[break][break] "..."

what does one say to such an admission? the confession hangs between them in awkward silence, muted under the weight it carries and the burden it unlades. he had never asked to be viewed as a parental figure; it goes against all of his teachings of detachment; but he cannot help the odd warmth that resonates from jayden cross's words.[break][break]

he has no idea what to feel nor how to feel.[break][break]

'Thank you?'

[break][break] It felt uncomfortable. Unnatural, for THEO BECKETT of all people to say that to him. THEO BECKETT who had been his mentor, but who had also tried to kill him on one more than occasion. THEO BECKETT who had tried to make him bleed, but who he would - undoubtedly - bleed for.

[break][break] "I..."

[break][break] Jayden pressed his lips together.

[break][break] "You don't have to thank me. That's not - " He bit his lip. "I don't hate you," he said again. "But I hate this. What we've become, what we've forced to become."

[break][break] 'I hate him.'

[break][break] "Do you not hate it too?"

what they've become is something violent and unbecoming. it's as though their history, their bond forged through pain and hardship, have all amounted to nothing.[break][break]
