A.N.-Just to let you guys know there is absolutely no regular update times for this story. I saw Solo,the new Star Wars film yesterday,and then fell asleep to a thunder storm... Couldn't help thinking of Jay. :)
Slither Pit,Ground floor bar-New Ninjago City-Now
Liam looked like he wanted to run but he stayed put,keeping his eyes locked with Ricks,looking at the boys eyes,Rick could have sworn for a split second they looked deep red,but when he focused on his ward's eyes they were the same chocolate brown they had always been. Rick must've been stressed and was now imagining things. Nicole excused herself and with a swish of her long blue skirt,she walked over to talk to her boyfriend. As Rick approached his young ward he couldn't help but remember the last time he saw his younger brother,Robin. (Flashback kinda thing,just telling the story of Rick's sibling...) It was 7 months ago,2 months before he met Liam, his younger brother had just told him he was going to leave home and look for Her,Rick had tried to talk his only brother out of it,but the boys mind was firmly set on going,he didn't care that she's been missing for 3 years now,she was the only person his age who understood him (AN THIS IS NOT A LOVE INTEREST) and he missed her with all of his heart(AN STILL NO ROMANCE BETWEEN THESE TWO) and sadly the brown haired boy had too much of the Inconscient family trait of stubbornness and never giving up. The fluffy haired older brother wished his little brother luck finding Her. It almost broke Rick's heart watching Robin leave the restaurant without him.(AN back to Now) Rick hadn't heard a word from his only brother since that day and he didn't want to lose another brother,because that's what he'd come to see Liam as.
Rick had finally reached the bar.
The bartender,Kyle,asked if he could get Rick anything,Liam asked his friend to give them some space,and Kyle kindly gave them it.
"Why are you here, Liam? You're supposed to be doing homework," questioned Rick.
"Yeah,well, I couldn't concentrate so I decided to get some fresh air and my feet brought me here...I-I think I've been here before...I-in my past,I mean. I don't remember being here but The atmosphere and Kyle seem familiar..." Liam paused for a few moments,"I'm sorry Rick,I didn't mean to scare you"
"Liam Montgomery, you didn't scare me... Not really,but next time you do something like this,and I know you will you've done it in the past,please,please,PLEASE,take your phone with you and let me know where you end up" Ricks parent like nature always surpised Liam. The blond boy,smiled and agreed.
"Now come on,we need to go home. Important conversations to be had,you can come back tomorrow"
Liam groaned,but said bye to his brown,red,orange and yellow haired friend,whilst Rick went and thanked Nicole for her help.
The Inconscient household had legally belonged to Rick since his parents died,but it wasn't really a house (AN- what's the name for the kind of home Lloyd and Koko live in in the Movie,that's what Rick's place is,here in England we call it a flat...at least we do in the South East),their neighbour,a kind grey(or gray) haired woman called Ms. Fearson,a professional historian,always checked on Liam to ensure that Rick was being a good guardian to Liam,she did this every time they returned from an outing and today was no exception.
Once the two males got inside,Liam immediately asked "So what'd ya want to talk about?"(he was talking fast so he said what'd ya rather that what do you)
Rick took a deep breath,"Liam,I've told you before that there's a limit on how long you can be my Ward for,that limit is half a year. Nicole told me at work today that if I wanted to keep custody of you,we should fill out and send off adoption forms now because they take a maximum of a month to be processed...If and when you remember your family,or they come back for you,then I will happily give them custody of you again,it will only be until you remember your past and can find your family,I if we don't send the paperwork off this week,I'll most like lose custody of you and it'll be harder for you to just go out for walks that will help you jog your memory. I love you like I love my own brother Liam,and I've sort of made it my own personal mission to help you see your family again,I don't care how much it costs me personally,I'm responsible for you and I want you to be happy and with the people who love you..." Rick trailed off and braced himself for Liam's most likely outraged response that will probably involve lot's of yelling from the brown eyed teen in leather boots.
A.N.- Haha! A cliffhanger!
