"Mom, mom, you can ket me go now." Miles begged. "I need to breath!"
Mrs. Lancaster let go of her son, smiling bashfully. "Sorry honey. I'm just going to miss you so much."
"I'm going to miss you to." Miles said sliding a large backpack over his shoulder.
"Have fun at camp."Mrs. Lancaster mumbled.
Miles gave her one more hug before going outside, he placed his pack in the trunk of Bumblebee's alt-mode and got in the passenger seat, both Mikaela, and Rad in the back seat, Sam in the driver's seat. "So, where to next?" Sam asked.
"Prison." Mikaela said abruptly. They all raised a brow. "Since I already said good-bye to my step-mom, I want to say good-bye to my dad." she explained.
"Creature, to prison, and step on it." Rad said flatly.
Bumblebee's engine rumbled indignantly as he drove them through the streets. Sam's hands were on the steering wheel, pretending to drive. The drve was driven in an awkward silence.
"So. "Miles started timidly, since even though Rad treated him fairly neutrally, the other blond still scared him. "'Where' are we going exactly? As in, where is the camp?"
"Ah." Rad said. "The camp is in Long Island New York."
"We're getting to New York, how exactly?" Mikaela asked curiously.
"We're gonna take a plane, then we'regoing to get there as fast as possible, granted no monsters come after us along the way." Rad explained nonchalantly.
"So, um, how do we know who our other parent is?" Miles asked nervously and trying to steer the topic of monsters away from the conversation .
"You don't." Rad replied. "They have to claim you and since you two are older than 13, they will most likely claim you soon. Though I have my own guesses as to who your other parent might be."
"Really who?" Miles asked.
"I'd rather not say, it's only guess after all." Rad replied shrugging.
"So, who's your dad?" Sam asked, speaking for the first time in a while.
The air darkened instantly. "You assume my other parent is male?" Rad hissed scowling.
Sam shrank in his seat. "Sorry, but don't you have a dad?"
"No, I don't." Rad replied instantly in a clipped tone. "I never knew who unwittingly assisted in my creation, and I don't really care."
Rad's tone implied he'd had this conversation before.
"So, who's your mom then?" Mikaela asked.
Rad looked out the window. "It's not a good dea to say their names so casually. You address them as Lord or Lady. If it's your parent, then obviously you call them tyheir parental title." he explained.
"So, why don't you have a dad?" Miles asked quietly.
Rad's bland tone returned. "Like I said; unwitting donor."
No one responded on the topic since there was an obvious dark underlining, and none of them wanted to test Rad's patience should he really get mad.
After Mikaela said good-bye to her dad, Rad had told Bumblebee to get them to the air port, and to step on it. After about an hour and a few close calls later, they had arrived at the California airport.
"This is were we part, Creature. At least for now anyway." Rad said.
"You're not coming back?" Sam asked.
"Of course I will, I need to get Frost from Ratchet. Though if I stay will be an entirely different thing to think over." Rad shrugged.
"What will you do in the mean time?" Miles asked.
Rad shrugged. "Probably hunt some monsters, though first I might have to sort out the mess I caused." Sam flinched. Rad got outof the Camaro, Mikaela , and Miles following and getting their bags out of the trunk.
Miles waved awkwardly. "Um, see ya Sam."
"Bye." Sam waved back, feeling just as awkward.
The trio walked into the airport, there papers in order (after having a hard time reading them earlier) , thought how Rad had a passport was a mystery, or even how he had paid! They trusted him though, so they remained slilent about that. And as long as Miles didn't see the plane crashing down, Rad was fine with it too.
When they landed in the New York airport, it was 5:00 am and the sky was still dark. The trio rubbed their eyes as they gathered their things, well, Mikaela, and Miles did, Rad just had his carrion bag, which they've never seen him open actually.
Sudden a voice broke through their thoughts. "Beautiful dreamer, you'll dream no more, cause down by the door, is what you're waiting for."
Rad cringed and the other two half-bloods were surprised to see that Rad actually looked nervous. Without even looking in the voice's direction he said to them, "Please don't tell me there is a blond guy at the entrance wearing a silly grin."
"There is." Mikaela said.
"I said please don't tell me." Rad muttered. He sighed as he turned around and sure enough, there was a a blond man there. Putting on a rather convincing fake smile, he strolled up to him, Mikaela, and Miles in tow. "Hello, Uncle."
The blond man grinned a little more and patted Rad's head. "Hello, Honey Bunch."
"Honey Bunch?" Mikaela and Miles echoed, both looking astonished.
Rad grimaced. "Don't ask."
A/N: More clues; once again Miles's vision is mentioned. And Mikaela has a step-mom, not a step-dad.
Can anyone guess who it is at the airport waiting for them? Remember, Rad said "Uncle"
