AN: I wanted to write something good about old Vladdy here. The guy has been cuckoo bananas for 20 years because of the accident. So, how about if he found a way to recover, bounce back from the whole thing. I won't reveal how yet, but Vladdy will most likely be OOC. If there's any qualms about it, please share your thoughts, cause I'm pretty lacking here and there.

Prologue - An old Friend
A limo stopped in front of the Fenton household. The door of the limo opened and a man stepped outside. He was a tall, thin man in his early thirties, wearing a suit that spoke volumes of his status. His hair was shades between white and gray tied neatly into a ponytail. He has a small patch of hair of the same shade that covered his chin. His blue eyes stared at the sign. Fenton Works. How long has it been since he last came here.
"Mr Masters," Vlad turned to his driver, the windowsill of the limo pulled down revealing a auburn-haired, caucasian man, "Would you like me to accompany you? I could just park it here."
"No need, Drew. Go back to the mansion and take the day off. I'll probably be sleeping here for the night." Vlad answered. Drew nodded drove away. Vlad turned to face the building and readied himself. Each step he took, a memory would pop up. The memories of his first encounter with Jack Fenton as a child, his memories surviving highschool with Jack, meeting with Maddie in college, the incident, the years of angst he held against Jack, the reunion, the apology. Before he knew it, Vlad was face to face with the door to the household. Slowly, he raised his hand and knocked the door.
A moment passed. He heard a rush of footsteps coming closer to the door. It opened quickly revealing a red-headed girl of no more that 7 years of age, holding on to a bear had Einstein's distinguishing white hair. Vlad eyed the little red-head and could see Maddie's features on her. He smiled at her. She wasn't really sure how to respond.
"JAZZ, who's that?" A woman called out. The woman stepped out to check who the guess was. The woman has similar features to Maddie, but she was freckled and was slightly beefier than her sister. Her auburn hair was short and she wore a striped plaid shirt and an overall. She saw her guests, "Vlad!"
"Pleasure seeing you again, Alice." Vlad greeted.
"What are you doing here, Masters?"
"I need to talk to the kids," He turned to Jazz, who was still eyeing him, "It has something to do with their parents."
Alice's eyes widened. She turned to the young girl, "Jazz, go call your brother. No questions, just go." Jazz nodded and ran back inside. Alice then turned to to Vlad, "Well, don't just stand there, get in here!"
Vlad entered the household. He followed Alice into the living room where both the adults sat down. A moment passed, Jazz came rushing down stairs with her brother in hand. The boy had black hair, like his dad, with piercing blue eyes. He stood there with a questioning look like any 5 year old would. Vlad stood up and walked towards the two child and smiled. He then kneel down to level their height.
"Hello, children," he spoke softly, "I don't think you two know me." He waited until the Fenton siblings shook their head. "Well, My name is Vladimir Masters. I'm an old friend of your parents. You may call me Uncle Vlad."
