After a few blocks angel started to sob at first protector didn't notice but when he did hen stopped and took angels hand and asked if she wanted to sit down she said it was up to him so he said they could for a few minutes. Just as they were going to set down protector saw one of his old crew walking towards him he told angel to stay put and went out to talk to the person. As he approached the kid he motioned for him to sit and the kid did after that protector explained that he was escorting the girl to her house and would meet up with the others later at their normal meeting place but he also asked that Lloyd be left out of this one. The other member asked why and protector said it was a meeting about his position in the group and he didn't want Lloyd interfering in it. The other group member was about to ask if protector was going to leave the group he said if Lloyd didn't stop going for revenge he was. The other member said he would keep Lloyd out of the loop this once for the sake of the team he hoped protector wasn't right. So then protector went back to angel and asked if she was ready to head home yet she said sure and he walked with her with a few more blocks when one of his old enemies showed up he told angel to find somewhere to hide and that he would be back in a little bit. After that he noticed that his old enemy wasn't alone and that Lloyd had turned on him and that he had been wise to schedule a secret meeting between him and the rest of the crew. He was about to flee when he remembered that angel was hiding nearby so he stayed and tried to fight off both of them he was successful in fighting off Lloyd but his strength was fading just then he heard a voice behind him that he recognized to be his best guy friend and fighting partner Christopher. He stepped to the side just as Christopher charges into the area and clotheslines there old enemy hard enough to knock him unconscious he then starts to tell protector that what he did was very risky and very stupid but protector holds up his hand to make Christopher stop scolding him and says he had no choice he had to defend a friend. Christopher asked who the friend protector told him it was a little girl he called angel and then he went to the bushes next to the road and found angel crying softly and when he tried to touch her she backed away from him until he told everything was going to be alright and he was sorry for putting her in danger. After that Christopher came into the bushes behind protector and asked if everything was ok protector said he just needed a few minutes with angel before they could leave Christopher said that was ok by him. So protector went about explaining how he and Christopher AKA Chris had met. (Flashback) it was about a year before angel and protector had met it was protectors first day of school and he was very shy but he had the bad luck of bumping into one of the bullies of the school. Him and the bully got into a fight just as the bully was about to break protectors arm another kid showed up and stepped in the way of the bully. That gave protector enough time to recover and after that the kid and protector scared the bully away neither him or the new kid said anything at first but after a little while the new kid said his name was Christopher and asked what he should Jared. Jared said to call him protector and after that they were inseparable. (End flashback)
