Forgiveness, and the Plan to Eradicate the Evil Watches.
Vegeta's P.O.V
I went to my room to look for the senzu bean, it took me less than a second to locate it. However, I did not want to go back to my son's room just yet, he did not need it. But, when that woman makes her mind, there no one to make her think otherwise. It would be a waste of the sacred seed, he'll wake up soon. A few moments later, Bulma entered into the room and closed the door behind her. As soon as, I get a look at her, I knew that it was time to get the hell out of there. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were swollen, her mascara all over her face, and the tip of her nose was red. She has been crying.
I passed by her side, ignoring her state, "I'll take the senzu bean to Trunks." I said while walking toward the door, no really caring for the boy, I just did not want to be caught up in her drama.
She got a hold my hand as I tried to make a run for it, "There no need for it, he woke up after you leave." Then she made a pause, "You were right."
"Of course I was, I know how much his body can handle." Crap, I was so close.
"I mean everything, you were right from the beginning of all this chaos." Wait, What? Did I just hear right, the most stubborn woman on Earth just admitted she was wrong? I stepped backward and sat on the edge of our bed, and looked at her, I did not care to show her my puzzled face, for I need to know why the sudden change of mind.
Bulma sat next to me, and let out a deep breath before exposing the detailed version of her confession. "I'm truly sorry Vegeta. You were right from the beginning. I'm at fault for everything that happened lately. The two were right, I always want to do things my way, and that caused this situation. The way you handle Trunk's last incident at school was extraordinary. I shouldn't act so immature neither get mad, I had no right to take your powers away." Then, the woman grabbed my right hand and took off the watch from my wrist.
I could feel the energy flowing through my veins, I had my full strength once again. It felt so extraordinary to have my freedom back. She did not let go of me, on the contrary, she held me tight, and raised her eyes, and locked them piercingly into mines. I hate it. I hate when she does that, it makes me lose some of my senses, and if I let her go deeper, I would lose myself completely.
"I promise that, rebuilding the gravity room will be my number one priority, I'll even bring engineer from work to accelerate the process. It'll take a few weeks, since Trunks blast off the main console."
I blinked a couple of times, as I came back to my senses when I heard 'blast off the main console.' "He did what?" I asked my wife, maybe I misheard.
"Trunks got scared when you took me away, so he threw ki blasts to the main console, I am so sorry, I accused for that too. " She replied with teary eyes. "Could you ever forgive me for all the things I did and said?"
I kept silence, analyzing what Bulma just told me, and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, that I've been trying to figure out since a while ago, I swear, that kid would give me some kind of attack, and for his own good, better be heart one than a madness attack. I placed my palm on my face, pressing out the anger of the realization of what my child may have done.
"Vegeta? Please, forgive me." I forgot for a moment, that Bulma was next to me, and for the look of her facial expression, she thought I was angry at her.
"You look like crap, go take a bath and we can discuss this after dinner." then, I whispered to her ear. "On our bed." With that said, she understood that I accept her apologies and took off. I waited for her to turn on the water, to go and get rid off all my doubts once for all.
I went straight to that bastard's room, not knocking, I never do, he had not earned that right. I closed the door and turn the lights on. I slapped my face to see that he was under the covers, Does he really think that a piece of fabric will shield him from me? I know he sensed my ki approaching, I made it loud and clear to him that he will have to face me.
"Trunks!" I said, no yelling, but frightening enough to let him know he was in trouble. He did not move, not even a millimeter.
I let out an angry sigh as I headed for where he was. I grabbed the covers, and toss them to the floor. "Hi, dad." he said, pretending he didn't hear me before.
"When I call you, you answer." Trunks nodded and slid to the other side of the bed, yes, as far as he could be from me. "There's some explaining you have to do. Do not bother to say that lame lie you told your mother, remember I was there." I moved his computer chair next to the bed, and sat on it. "Do not lie, because I'll know, and every time you do, I'll punish you for it."
I can tell when he lies about 75% of the time, he shifts his sight from whoever he is talking to the lower corner of his eyes, just for a milli fraction of a second, then back to his main focus, this case me. He does not know I realized this, I think he is not aware he does that.
"I had an idea, I put it to practice, and by the fact that neither of us is wearing the watch, I conclude it worked. There, now can I go back to my nap?."
"I am not your mother, who you can fool around, I will give you one more chance, so be wise on what you say."
"Can you just let me have it?"
"That was not wise." I said as I stood up from the chair.
"Ok, ok, I'll tell." He said as he waves his hands from side to side. I sat down again, and planted a firm stare at him. "Do you remember that you and mom argued at dinner, the same day she tricked us to wear those things?"
I went back to that night to recall the detail of why we argued. Most of the night was quiet. I remember Trunks kept throwing at Bulma this venomous glares. Bulma was well aware of the piercing eyes stabbing her, but didn't bother her, I know the woman enough to tell that she was happy to have accomplished what she wanted, get to the last nerve of the kid. As for me, I was there just for the food.
Now, Bra was a handful. She has this awful habit of playing with her food. "Bra, if you eat your food, Mommy'll buy you a toy" Bulma said, Bra took a spoonful to her mouth, then spat her chewed food on her plate. That was the moment when I lose it.
"That is disgusting, Bra" I yelled, "you are going to stop playing with your food, and eat everything in that plate, or swear I will spank you. Understood?" I rarely raise my voice or threaten her like that, less touch her. But, I had enough.
"What the hell Vegeta? you made her cry. You didn't have to scream at her like that."
"Are you serious? What that was repulsive. She is lucky that I just screamed at her, because that deserved a punishment."
"Don't you dare, stupid monkey, to lay a single finger on the baby."
"That is exactly why the brats do as they please." And the argument went on for about five minutes, or at least that was when I started to ignore her.
"Yes, I do remember, go on." I command him.
"Mom always jumps like a lioness when it comes to protect Bra or me, especially from you, even though you are right to yell at us."
"Skip the obvious and go right to the point."
"I was going there, if I mentioned it, was for a reason."
"I do not think you are in the position to be a smart ass."
Trunks rolled his eyes, "After watching that I got an Idea. My plan was, to put myself in a position where she would try to protect me. And knowing how she goes all hero when you get mad at me, I got to your last nerve on purpose. But, I had to make the watch be the main reason why you would get angry at me. You know, because she was the one that made us wear that crap. That would cause her to feel so guilty about it, to the point I could break her emotionally."
My eyes widened on surprised as I heard the plan that he had successfully executed. He did break Bulma like a twig. I notice that, he had been pushing my buttons more than usual, these last weeks, and did know for sure he was plotting something, But this, did not cross my mind at all. I was not sure if get angry at the fact that he 'used me' to get to the woman, or feel proud that he accomplished to manipulate his mother like that, that was brilliant. For sure I will try that in the future.
"So, um...I'm in trouble?"
"What do you think?" Seriously kid, because I do not know what to do with you.
"Come, on, dad." Trunks whined. "You know what she did was wrong, she had no right to take our powers away. She got it coming." His face transfigured, I could see pure Saiyan all over his face, he was still distilling hatred towards his mother.
Still, undecided if I should punish or congratulate him, I said, "True, but what you did wasn't right either. You used me like I was some sort of puppet, and I do not like being use, especially by a brat." Now that I said it at laud, beat the crap out of him looks like a good option. "And as for your mother, she will be in a emotional wreck that heavens know for how long."
"Since when do you care for 'feeling'," he spat,"I did not regret it, and if I have to do it all over again, I will." I mentally smirked, that what a true Saiyan would say.
"You are damn right, I do not care, but I am the one who has to deal with her." I heard him mutter 'whatever', but I let him have that one. "There was other solutions, that did not cause this drama."
"Like what daddy?" There's two possible reasons, why he calls me 'daddy', when he wants something out of me or he is being sarcastic, and at this moment he does not want anything from me.
"I can't think of anything right now."
"Figures."
"Keep up with the sarcasm, and the next thing that comes out of your mouth it will be blood. The whole house was affected because of the fights and arguments, not just you, your mother or me. Even the Blondy got concerned about it."
"Sometime collateral damage is needed to win the battle, you taught me that."
Trunks got up from his bed and walk towards his computer desk and grabbed that damn thing he used to listen to music. "What the hell are you doing? We are not done talking."
As he made his way back to the bed, he picked up the comforter from the floor, wrapped himself with it, and laid on the bed again, before putting on those stupid things in his ears he said, "Maybe you're not done, but I am."
"TRUNKS!" I yelled as I took off from his hand his ice-pop, ipop, or whatever the hell its call.
"WHAT THE HELL? Give back."
"Do not raise your voice to me like that, I am really losing it. You should have told me about your 'plan', if I knew," at that moment, Bulma's terrified expression, when I grabbed her face early today crossed my mind, "a lot could be avoided."
"You would never agree to it, specially after you said..." Trunks stopped talking, and sealed his lips tight. His eyes widen up the same way when he is caught red handed.
"After I said what?" I asked him with a firm stare, not blinking, not missing a single facial expression.
"Nothing. I made a mistake." He said confidently, with a smile, trying to play off his lie. However, I did not miss the sight shifting. I clasped tight to the artifact on my hand until I broke it into pieces. "Why the hell you did that for?"
"I told you, if you lied, I was going to punish you."
"I didn't lie." I gathered ki on my index finger and pointed to his cell phone that was on top of the nightstand. That, he will miss, Bulma already warned him if he broke this one, she would make him work for it. "OK OK, I'm not going to lie anymore." He finally said, while hiding the device under the covers.
"I'm listening." I said as I dissolved the energy, and crossed my arms.
"You said not hacking, and I kind of did some hacking."
"Please, mind the details."
"I hacked the watches with my computer, right after that dinner, I also knew the passwords to unlock the evil watches, mom was in such a hurry to get to us, that she didn't realize that the software was full of bugs."
In the blink of an eye, I found myself grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, barking at his face "You knew the fucking password the whole time, Why you didn't tell me?"
"Because you told me no hacking." He replied with his eyes shut on terror of my sudden hold.
"Did you think I would care if you succeeded?"
"I don't know, I thought that maybe you would snitched to mom, to win her over, so she could free you, and I would have a double take of punishment."
"What made you think I would do such thing?"
"You are a full-blooded Saiyan, and Saiyans betray." I let go of him out of the shock, and he opened his eyes , "I know you betrayed your comrade when you arrived to Earth." How does he knows? And as if he could read my mind, he answered "I over heard Yamcha saying something to Krillin."
I do not deny, what I was, or what I am, neither do I regret most of the decisions I made in the past. But, letting my children know about it, is completely different. Finding out that my boy knows about that part of me, left an uneasy feeling in the mouth of my stomach. I sat down, on the edge of the bed. Trying to sort my thoughts, placing to the priority list, the visit I will pay to that pathetic good for nothing, for minding in my business. In top of that, do not let Trunks, that I almost stumbled emotionally, ALMOST.
"That does not mean I would betray you, I wouldn't." I had to change the subject, "Is there something else I should know?" And remembering the primordial reason why I was there, I added "Like what really happened to the Gravity Room." I will not like his response. I am one 100% sure of it.
"After, I 'hacked' the watch this afternoon," he did this thing humans do with their finger when they try to implied what has been told is not true. That stupid, just say what you mean. "and you almost break my leg, thank you very much, you really scared the shit out of me. And you asked why I didn't tell you, there, you got your answe..."
"Trunks, stop going around the subject, and go straight to the point."
He sighed, "The way mom reacted after that, I knew that I almost got her where I wanted her to be. I felt your kies rising, I figured you two were fighting. Then I got this idea, push you even further, that's why I went to the GR and provoke you. But, just in case that didn't work, I had to put myself in a more dangerous circumstances, so that's why I blow up the GR."
"I was well aware 'why.' I want to know 'how' you destroy it."
"I hacked the main console and programed to get overheated when it read my power level. That's what caused the explosion."
My son just amazed me once again with his brilliance, his determination. He fought for what was rightfully his, for his honor. If the Saiyans on planet Vegeta were like him, my race's fate would have been different. This absolutely was not a kid's game for him. He risked more than being grounded for life, he risked getting hurt. He could get hurt really bad.
Saying nothing, I stood up, I felt my son's worried eyes, following me as I walked to his desk, where his computer was. I stayed in front of it for a moment, debating if I should pulverizes the damn thing. I decided not to. I shut it close, and took it on my possession.
I went back to his side and extended my free hand, "Hand over your phone."
"Why? What are you going to do to my things?"
"You have lost your technology privileges."
"Are you going to destroy them, like my ipod?"
"That depends, if I have to repeat myself." He obeyed and placed his phone in my hand, still frightened of what I could do to his precious belongings.
"For how long?" He whined.
I put the phone in my pocket, "I have not decided yet."
"Can we arrange something else? I don't, umm. Got it, I could babysit Bra for you, ah?"
"No."
"Come on, you also got benefited from my plan."
"The reason I am taking this away from you, is because you used them to destroy the Gravity room."
"Came on dad, mom's going to rebuild it, I'm sure she'll even include more feature out of guilt, see? again thank to my plan."
Sometimes, his cockiness overwhelms my tolerance, "This is not about the damn Gravity Room, brat." I yell angrily.
"Then, why are you so angry about?"
"Because you could," Stupid brat can you just read between the line? "That doesn't matter. The point is that you are grounded until I say so."
Trunks crossed his arms, he was wearing the smirk he inherited from me, "Are you angry because I could get hurt?"
"No sense."
"Admit it, you were worried."
"Kid, cut out."
"No until you admit it. Admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it, admit it."
"FINE, YES I WAS, there, now shut the hell up." Trunks looked at me astonished, he did not expect me to really say it, me neither, but I got enough of this crap, I just wanted to day to be over.
"Dad... you really.."
"Shut it," I cut him off "If you get sentimental about it, I swear, I will blast your computer. I had plenty of drama for the day." He just nodded.
I proceeded to leave, and before I opened the door, "Dad..."
"What now?" I whined, I want this to end now.
"So, for next time, I can count on you?"
Smirking, I say, "Without fail", he smiled, then I left the room.
I scanned the house to look for Bulma's ki, I have to inform her that Trunks is grounded, of course I will not tell her about Trunks' plans. She will think I put him up to it. Mmmm, so she is still in the shower uh? Maybe we can have our 'discussion' now instead after dinner, and finally end this 'great day'...
Again, Thank you so, so much. :D
