So, this is my amazing failerific Father's Day story. Honestly, I hate it, but give me reassurance maybe? Anyway, sorry its a few days late, I was really busy.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Sky High or any of its characters. Period.


Warren has always felt out of place on Father's Day. While all his friends were out buying cards and new screwdrivers to give to their fathers, Warren was alone. Every year on that day in June, his mother apologized for his father, telling her son that even though Baron Battle was in solitary, he still loved his son. Warren never believed it.

Every year, Warren would ask himself the same question. If what his mother told him was true, and his father did love him, why had he never even talked to his son? Even in villain prison, they were allowed to send letters. Baron Battle had never, ever taken the time to write to his son, much less his son's mother. One could wonder whether Baron even remembered they existed.

Over the years, Warren had forgotten about his father. From being friends with Will Stronghold for so long, the Commander had become something similar to a father figure. Never mind that the superhero was who had stuck Warren's own father in prison and at first had assumed he would be doing the same with the teen, Steve Stronghold sincerely cared about his son's friend. Especially since it was his fault that the boy had no father to spend time with on Father's Day.

Though Warren had never met his father, he often wondered what life would have been like if Baron was in the picture. He didn't know what kind of man his father was, leaving many differing images in his mind. His father could be a cruel man, just like everyone said, or he could simply be a misunderstood superbeing, mistaken for a villain. He could have ended up as abusive, but there were so many things Warren felt that he missed out on not having a father.

When the pyro became a father himself, he swore that his daughter would never feel the same way that he did. He never let his superhero duties eclipse his life, always finding time to spend with his family. And when Father's Day came around, Warren was rewarded with a card and a new screwdriver.


I'm going to minirant for a minute, sorry. Its never seemed to me that Warren's parents were married when they had him. Obviously, Disney couldn't really say he's a bastard, but I mean, why else would his name be Peace and not Battle? And Warren's father's name is Baron Battle, not anything Peace. If you look closely in the movie, it says Baron Battle in the yearbook. [/Endrant]
