Chapter 1: Draco

'Ello people! A crazy idea crept into my head and I have to get it out. I was thinking about all these different things the other day and then there was a train collision in my mind – you see my thoughts are carried by trains in my mind – anyway and it produced this crazy idea. I was reading the first Harry Potter book, thinking about random things, remembering I didn't see Megaman last weekend, listening to music and had my Jak II strategy guide in view on my bed when, one train got lost when it was trying to chase a wondering thought (wondering thoughts are bad for trains) and the train slipped off it's track. It ran into several other trains – causing a major traffic jam and a 3 train pile up (the trains with the Harry Potter, Megaman, and Jak II thoughts on board). To make a long intro short, it came out as some people from Megaman end up in Haven City (from Jak II) and Ashelin and Torn's son's name is borrowed from the Harry Potter book.

And I'm supposed to be punished…. Being punished isn't so bad – it gives you time to do the things you should be doing, like reading good books, using your imagination and entertaining the children who, after a million times, don't get it that you're punished.

Oh- I don't own anything from Jak II, Megaman, or Harry Potter… too bad though… it would be sooooo fun.

One more thing, it takes place after Jak II but before Jak III

Do enjoy – and please review, it lets me know there are people out there…

"Word" = talking

'Brains' = thinking

fall = action

It was a normal day – about as normal as a day could be in Haven City. Draco, Ashelin and Torn's son, has returned home yesterday – a week before his 20th birthday. Ashelin and Torn haven't seen him in a long time. Ashelin and Torn thought it was best to send him away. It was just after his grandmother died and his grandfather, Praxis, had gone mad. They left their son with one of Ashelin's friends in the near by city – for now known as the City. After receiving news that Haven City was now under his mother's control he decided to come back, along with a few more surprises.

Draco stops by a bi door in the Palace. He isn't sure where they are. He has only been there one night and they expect him to find his way around? Draco leans close to the door and listens.

"Do you think he got lost?" (Ashelin)

"Hey, my directions aren't that bad…" (Torn) Draco hears a woman's laugh. Draco rolls his eyes. 'Yeah they're definitely in there…doin' what, I'd rather not think aboutbetter go in before they do somethin' crazy…' thinks Draco. Draco shakes his head at the thought and opens the door.

"Hi ma, dad…" (Draco) He looks t his parents, both on the chair at the top of the stairs in the Palace throne room. The two adults stand and come down the stairs.

"You're late." (Torn) Draco walks in, relieved that the two decided not to continue with what ever it was that they were doing.

"Hot a little lost." (Draco) Ashelin smitks.

"Figured that." (Ashelin) Torn makes a face.

"So what's been happening? It's been a while since either of you wrote to me…" (Draco) it takes a while for Ashelin and Torn to explain and by the time they're done breakfast arrives on a cart accompanied by three chairs. The three begin to eat.

"How've you been?" (Torn) Draco swallows his food.

"Fair. Nothing too interesting has happened." (Draco)

"What kind of job do you have?" (Ashelin) Draco closes his eyes to think for a minute. 'Best be careful with what I say… if they knew about it I'd be in a lot of trouble…' thinks Draco.

"Right now, I work on the City's weapons and security computer systems…" (Draco) He smiles a fake smile. 'Well sort'a more like a cover up job for my other one… it'll be over before they realize it's happening… best keep it cool though….' thinks Draco.

"And before that?" (Torn) He eyes his son suspiciously.

"Ah, nothin' much – jus' little stuff." (Draco) He bit into a sausage, failing to tell them what those 'little jobs' were. 'That's better, keep with the "kid" talk and they'll never know…' thinks Draco.

"Ya know, you could've called me to help out – " (Draco)

"Did you have any army training?" (Torn)

"Uh… well no, not really." (Draco) 'Nothing listed in the City's army directory.'

"Then you probably wouldn't' have been able to help." (Ashelin) Torn glances over at Ashelin giving her a look that says 'If he was here all those years he would have been training'.

"Oh… Well I could start training here… to help out the next time you need it." (Draco) 'Not that I'd really help out,' thinks Draco.

"What about your job in the other city?" (Ashelin)

"Not a problem, I could work on it here – I mean that city is sooo advan-" (Draco) He looks at both his parents, who in turn look at each other. Ashelin gives Torn a look that says 'I told you I left our son in good hands'. Torn nods his head and finishes that last of his meal.

"Sure, you can stay. You can start training under your father." (Ashelin) Torn looks at her.

"But Ash, our vaca-" (Torn) Ashelin smiles.

"What? Don't you want to work with you own son?" (Draco) He makes a face.

"It's not that, we just –" (Torn) Draco looks at the two of them.

"Haven't got married yet or planning the honey moon?" (Draco) Torn makes a face.

"Um…" (Torn)

"Look we can do that next week. uses sarcastic voice for next line It's not like we'll be so far apart." (Ashelin)

"What about the baby?" (Torn) Draco makes a face.

"I'll work with you both until I can't. Don't worry about it." (Ashelin)

"What baby?" (Draco) Ashelin turns to Dracor.

"I'm pregnant, which makes you a big brother, Draco." (Ashelin) Draco smiles. 'Great, another problem,' thinks Draco.

"Oh… so this is what happens while I'm not around, huh? Draco fakes another smile Am I going to have to keep an eye on you two?" (Draco) The three laugh and they leave.

"You can use this room, it's has all the best access channels." (Ashelin) The three are standing in the door way of the room.

"Yes, and it's not far from your room either." (Torn)

"Thanks ma, dad." (Draco) He hugs both his parents, probably an awkward moment for them, and walks over to the main computer.

"Anything for our son." (Ashelin) She and Torn leave.

"Ah… nice… not as advanced as mine back at home, but it will do…" (Draco) He stands up and further investigates the room.

Various sized computer panels line the walls of the room. On one wall, near the back corner of the room, us what looks like a portal. It is as high as the wall and circular. Strange markings decorate its edges. It looks old and broken down. Draco pauses for a moment in front of it. 'Could come in handy… if I had the proper equipment'. He sits back at the main computer and begins his net search. When he comes to an inaccessible page he bangs his fist on the desk, causing a small wooden box to fall behind the desk.

"Dan!" (Draco) He shakes his head, stands up and leans over the desk. The small box has landed on a few wires. He reaches his arm behind the desk to grab it. As he picks the box up, one wire that was knocked loose bounces up a bit. As it bounces up it's unplugged tip brushes by an empty space inside the circular portal. Silently and unnoticeably the portal activates. Draco places the box down on the desk and returns to the screen. He relises the change on the screen.

"Hm…." (Draco)

Ah HA! I'll stop here for now, just for an itty bitty break. Well what do you think so far? Don't worry it gets better – things just have to warm up, that's all.

Please review…. It makes me sooooo happy.
