SIGHT JACK:

I bit my lower lip as I saw poor Omega try to grab Kafka. It was kind of a pathetic sight. Kafka turned back and gave him a warning snap. Kafka didn’t like strangers grabbing him.

“Kafka. No!” I said looking ahead of me. I snapped my fingers, “ Come here. Sit” I could hear the click click of Kafka’s claws on the cold pavement then felt his warm fur as he sat down beside me giving me a lick on the cheek. I could also hear Omega gasping for breath. Oh if I could only see the look on his face.

“How was your run? Kafka’s quite the sprinter.” I said trying not to smile too much. “ You should stay with me tonight. There is no safer place within miles.” I pulled the rusty door open just enough to fit through. “I’ll put on a pot of tea and we talk about your old man.” I paused for a moment to let it sink in then chuckled. “ While you are pondering that little statement you might also want to think about whether or not you made the right decision leaving the blind lady alone to chase after the dog.”

Definitely, working in a grav-field is harder than the exercises made it seem? "No... I didn't like -- leaving you alone." I tell her, trying to get my breathing back under control. "But if the dog was gone, who would guide you? It was a choice between taking a short-term risk, or causing a long-term problem."

Then my eyes narrow. "And what do you mean by, my old man?"

“Oh sure sure, ” I said nodding and ignoring Omega‘s last question, “ Because you couldn’t have asked me to call the dog back or make sure I was in a safe spot before you went to look for the dog or taken me with you to find the dog. You need to start thinking more creatively. There are an infinite amount of solutions to any problem.” I led him through the ghostly halls of the old hotel.
“But you are right about one thing…” I said with a sad sigh, “ No mater what we do there will be consequences.” I took a deep breath and tried not to get overly emotional. “it’s the unexpected consequences that hit you the hardest.”

I pushed open the door that once led to the kitchen. “here we are, Home seat home.” The place was slightly lit by a make shift oil lamp and had a refugee feel to it with only a bed roll and a wooden box in the corner.
“Make yourself at home, I’ll get some water boiling.”

"No excuses, ma'am." I say quietly, looking away. She's right; I should have known how to handle something like this! "Prepare what you wish for yourself; I've my own supplies... and I shouldn't be staying here, anyway."

“Relax, Hijo de la Mano*. I didn’t say you made the wrong choice. I just wanted you to think about it.”

I set up the tea pot over a kerosene lighter then went over to the northern part of the room. Kafka settled down in his spot and started gnawing on his favorite chew toy.

“Besides I don’t think you will be going anywhere tonight. We have a lot to talk about.” I said as I pulled out a small box and through it at him. Inside were 5 official Legion flight rings. Despite how hard I tried to clean them they still had a tarnish on them and not all of them worked properly but they were in no doubt flight rings. “Pick out the one you like.” I said flopping down on my bed roll, “ You are now a member of the New Legion. That is if you are up for the challenge.”

"What?!" I turn back to her. "But I... I failed... how?" Then I look at her more closely. "Who *are* you?"

“Well I have been called many of thing in my past.” I said with a sigh. I was a little afraid to tell him my code name. Many a bad deed was attached to it. Many a good deed was attached to it as well but it’s the bad ones that stay fresh in people’s memories. He had a right to know who he was dealing with. “Probably the most well known name I have gone by is Sight Jack. Dose this bother you?”

"... the lost soul, Father called you." I finally reply. "Hurt too much, and lashed out against what hurt you." I nod. "Well... if you're willing to give me a chance, I should do the same for you. For the Legion's sake." Carefully, I select a flight ring from the box, and slip it onto my finger; it gives enough to slide past my crystal children and settle between two of the ones on the back of my finger.

"Omega reporting for duty, Sight Jack. Your orders?" I ask formally.

“the lost soul, hu?” I said to myself. Mano, that old bastard sure knew how to call them.

“Oh orders!” I said as I broke out of my little self pity party trance. I could hear the pot boiling so I got up to take care of it. “Well actually, the funny thing about that is… oh your going to love this…. Not only are you a member of the New Legion but you are also a Founding Member!” I opened up a tin full of tea greens and put them in a cup then poured the water in. “Meaning the New Legion dose not have an agenda yet and it is up to the two of us to create one. In fact the only rule so far is no killing.” I suddenly slammed my cup down. I could feel the hot water splatter all over my hand. “Shoot! I forgot to tell you about the no killing part!” I shook off the water from my hand and pretended it didn’t hurt. “It’s sort of important. You have to be sure you can keep that kind of promise before you take such an important step.”

"Ever?" I ask, then groan to myself. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing in this world that's going to convince me that Tharok's death wasn't necessary. But if you need me to hold back -- I'll do it, ma'am. It helps that my metagene's not faulty."

“Yeah, Tharok’s death…” I said with a sigh. “ I was there.” I picked up the cup and took a small sip of tea. “Well not there when it happened but I saw the problems it caused first hand. Even in death Tharok left his curse on the Legion.” I sat back down on my bed roll and sighed. “ you are probably right about Tarok’s murder. Killing him might have saved hundreds of people in the universe or perhaps if he had had the chance to redeem himself he could have helped prevent some of the very problems plaguing us today. You know like you. Many wanted to end your life before it began because you were suppose to be a weapon.” Myself being one of them. “But you have been given the chance to chose your own path. My point being its not our job to be judge jury and executioner. In fact we have to go even beyond that and not take a life even…. Even …. if it’s to save the ones we love.” I said the last part in almost a whisper. It was then a hurtful rage gush through me. I got up suddenly and through my cup of tea at the wall. It was then I got a hold of myself. “Im.. I’m sorry. I have to get some air for a bit. I’ll be right back.” I hobbled my way to the door. “come Kafka.” I said as I headed out. I just needed some time to get control of my emotions.

~So I rate as one of the problems of the universe? Father warned me of that reaction...~ I think to myself. I don't think that's what she meant, but it did come out sounding like that?

I jolt slightly as she throws the cup, but once I see she's trying to leave I hurry to the door to block it. "Ma'am, I won't let you go out there. You're the one who warned me of the curfew, remember?"

‘He did not just do this.’ I thought to myself. I quickly grabbed his middle and hip-tossed him to the ground. I really was not much of a fighter but I had learned to hold my own in battle. Being able to see through others eyes gave me a slight tactical advantage but it took years to use it properly.

“Sorry Charley but I really hate when people try and tell me what to do.” I said dusting myself off. “You needed worry about me. I faced monsters who’s turds were tougher than those yahoos out there claming to be keepers of the peace. Besides I can always see them coming before they even know where I am.” I smiled and held my hand to him. “Thought I do appreciate the concern. If you wish you can come with me.”

Abyss take it! I should have realized she'd be able to fight once she got contact with me! I get tossed aside like a stupid amateur -- the amateur I am, let's face facts? I roll aside from her and get up on my own, leaving her offered hand unanswered.

"I believe that maneuver just made it clear you don't need my help for anything, ma'am." I state. "In this territory, I'd more likely be a liability."

“DA LOCA! Ha ha ah…” I started cracking up. All the rage inside me just started to flutter away. Had to brace myself against a wall. I short shot it and fell down, counting to laugh. “I don’t need you? Ha ha ah.. Aw man you are a riot!”

I was really starting to like this kid. He was everything I wasn’t. Just the kind of person I needed to keep me in check.

I shook my head and sat up. “aw… he he… Looks to me we can both could learn a few things from each other. do you think you can help me clean up that mess I just made?”
