OT: But it fuuuuuun

-Banko sighed and shook his head a bit-

“No. I can’t imagine it will. As much as I want it I grew up without a childhood, without a hero, and without the security of either of my parents. But if I can surpass him. If I can get even for his death and become as strong as he was, I wanna protect the world. Since they left the world is in chaos again. And no ones doing anything about it...”

OT: Lol I don't even have Blazblue tag team yet

/Ruby/: And that will bring you peace?

OT: We shouuuuld we gotta play some good games

-Banko nodded and looked out the window-

“My grandma didn’t even let me out of the house for years. She said I was different and couldn’t associate with the outside world. After his death I think she got scared and wanted to protect my mom and me. But my mom passed and she just kinda took control of me. I knew about my family’s history for a while but I never found out about the details until recently. Zoey told me almost. Ash filled in the rest of the gaps and he’s been training me.” He sat back down at the table. “I’m gonna learn everything. This is the final piece to his death and once I learn about what really happened, I’m gonna find who killed him and take them down.”

OT: Same here, we should chat on PSN.

/Ruby blinked at the question before answering/

/Ruby/: Well, I knew...of you? I knew you existed in a sense that you were out there somewhere. I didn't know your name or who you were really. But I knew you were out there.

/She smiled along with her words/

/Ruby/: Mom and Dad tell stories, talk about your grandfather, Zoey, Ashy, everyone. We just-we stay here unless Mom or Dad needs to leave for something. Mom wanted us away from the chaos.

OT: YES HI ITS BEEN A WHILE IVE BEEN STRESSED AF I WILL TELL YOU MORE AT A LATER DATE BUT ANYWAYS

-Banko tapped on the door and looked at Ruby again. He wondered why he never knew that she was even alive, no one told him anything about her or her brother-

"Did you know I existed before this? Or about your mom's past with my grandfather? Have you just been sheltered here for years?" He asked

/Ruby grinned as she twirled around/

/Ruby/: So turn that frown upside down silly.

-Banko furrowed his eyebrows and stood silent. He looked out the window and stared. He had no idea if he could trust these girls words but he wanted to-

OT: I definitely wrote a reply to this. I guess it didn't post :/

/Mercy kept at Electrojack's heels as she frowned/

/Mercy/: Rein, align with Pharah and Aisling. Take out as many as you can. We will be rendezvousing with you all shortly.

/Ruby/: I think they very much want you here. Or Mom wouldn't even speak to you at all. And Dad would have been the one to attack you. My brother...he isn't so sure about you. But it's clear from everyone else that you are wanted here Banko.

/The girl smiled over at him/

/Ruby/: You're wanted. And we're happy you're alive and here with us.

-Banko rubbed the base of his nose and pondered for a moment-

“I heard they all slowly went their separate ways after a while. Silver had my mom and grandma to take care of. Ash and Zoey had a life, and your parents had you and your brother. But they all still kept in contact. But... his death changed them... they could never recover.. Ash went missing for so long... I think he blamed himself. Then Zoey’s in that hospital... him leaving broke her... and your parents just dropped off the face of the earth. Finding them with vague hints from Ash was no help.” He said, getting up and walking towards the window. “I never even knew about them being alive until recently. They wrote me this letter for when I was older. I never even opened it. Ash had one for me too. I don’t know why they didn’t just... see me... they weren’t even there when Mom died...” the boy bit his lip. He shook his head and looked down. “Maybe it was a mistake coming here. Your mom just left.. they don’t even want me here.”
