"Dad! We're going to visit Martha!"
"Be back by dinner!"
Crow smirked, "We will!"
Jack shook his head, "Your dad is too good to us."
The three of us shot out and drove to Satellite as I smiled, "It's strange to have a mom and dad that never talk."
Crow roared with laughter, "Martha isn't too happy at him taking us away."
As we started to drive through Satellite, the noise between us died down.
Jack quietly whispered, "It almost doesn't feel like our home anymore. It's too clean."
The Blackbird pulled up on my left, "I always wanted the two to be connected, but I feel like our childhood is completely gone now."
"At least we are free to do whatever we want now."
We pulled up and saw Martha, Blister, and some of Crow's kids waiting for us, "Crow onii-san!"
They raced to his side, and he hugged them as Jack and I got off.
I walked up to Blister, "Looks like you're still here, huh?"
He laughed, "You've eaten her cooking. Plus here I can safely do my hacking. Which reminds me…"
The three of us followed him inside to his room (which used to belong to the guys), where he immediately sat in front of his bank of computers.
"You've all heard about the meteor crashing outside of the city, right?"
As Jack and I nodded, Crow started to blabber on, "Yeah, but it's completely off limits, right?"
Blister cut him off, "It's just a cover story. I have multiple sources that say it wasn't a meteor. It was a giant stone tablet."
He pulled up an image of the crash sight, and we could clearly see that there was nothing in the center. He continued, "My source also says that the Security Bureau cleaned it up before anyone would get there."
"When did it crash again?"
It was Jack who answered my question, "About a month ago."
"Wait," I glanced at them, "Just about the time that the Ridingroid went missing?"
Crow looked nervous, "Do you think that they could be connected?"
A quiet knock shut us up, and the door cracked open, "Hey!"
I smiled, "Hey there, Kiryu! What have you been up to?"
He came in the rest of the way, "I work at the nursing home. Since most of them are from the Satellite, they don't judge me by my mark."
Crow walked over and slapped him on the back, "Only idiots would judge you, me, or Yusei by our marks."
Kiryu glanced at the mark on my face, "I never asked how you got it."
I pointed at Jack, making him storm out of the room, "Somebody stole Stardust and my first runner, so I chased him down when he was in the city. Goodwin threw me in the Facility until he found out that I was a Signer, or else I would be spending a life sentence there."
Crow and Kiryu just stared at me in shock, "What? We all knew that he was a bit off the deep end."
"A bit? He sank to the bottom and then tried to rule the shallow end."
I patted Crow on the shoulder, "Good attempt at a metaphor."
We all went down the stairs, and heard Martha and Dr Schmidt talking, "I went over there, and he threw garbage at my head again."
"If only we could get him to come."
I pushed open the door, and Crow spoke up, "What's wrong?"
Martha sighed, "There's an old man living alone not far from here. We keep offering him a place here, but he wants to live in his home still, despite the fact that it is about to fall down."
Crow's kids turned to him, "You can help, right Crow?"
He seemed shocked, "I'm not good with old people."
They turned to each other, "I told you that he wouldn't do it."
He bristled up beside me, "I'll do it, and I'll do it in just an hour!"
As I followed him out the door, I snagged Jack and Blister.
We pulled up outside of a massive pile of rubbish, and Crow froze, "This is where the old man lives?"
Blister nodded, "That's why Martha and the good doctor are worried about him."
As Crow took a step forward, a voice echoed throughout the wreckage, "Don't take another step!"
Blister pointed at a window, "That's the old man."
"Come on, old timer! We're here to bring you to stay with Martha!"
He glared at Crow, "I'm staying here!"
Jack and I gave each other a look as Crow marched into the junkyard, "How much you willing to bet that he's going to get hurt?"
Jack didn't even have a chance to respond before something popped up and sent him flying back towards us.
The three of us were stuck between laughing and running to check on him.
He climbed back to his feet, and then ran back in for round two.
As he ran forward, a trap door opened, which he promptly jumped. But then another opened right where he was going to land, causing him to fall into it.
Jack nodded, "A double trap, not bad. We could have used that back when we were a gang."
Blister let out a snicker, while I was biting a laugh back myself.
Crow climbed out of the hole, and started walking toward the house again.
But something launched him into the air again, sending him outside of my sight, "Better go check on him."
We ran, and found him on top of a strange object.
He stood up with his arms wide, "It's a duel arena, just like what Yugi used to use!"
Jack inspected it, "It looks handmade."
The old man ran up, "Get off of there!"
Crow just smiled, "Your trap tossed me up here. But hey, how about we duel?"
He froze, "You want to duel?"
My brother nodded, "Yeah, I mean you've built this, so we need to use it! If I win, you have to move in with Martha. If you win, I'll leave you alone."
The three of us watched them duel, and I was more interested in the fact that the man had a junk deck similar to mine.
He had so many Junk style trap cards lying on the field, and two monsters from a combo; Paternal Junk and Maternal Junk.
"Why doesn't he summon Kid Junk? He would be unstoppable with it?"
I glanced at Jack, "He'd summon it if he had it. Wait a second...I'll be right back."
I ran inside the house, and found what I was looking for almost right away.
As I picked up the picture, the world shook, and I glanced outside to see the piles of Junk collapsing around the house.
Pushing my way outside, I found everyone safe, but the old man was trying to go back into the house, "I need to get something!"
I ran up to them, and held out the picture, "Is this what you want?"
He gently took it from my hands, and I crouched in front of him, "You didn't have Kid Junk in your hand, did you?"
"No, I gave it to my son right before his mother left with him."
Crow stood up, "Look around! You now have three fully grown sons and a daughter that can keep up with us and sometimes kick our butts!"
He smiled at us, "Thank you."
A/N: Midterms are killing me! I promise that I will do better on the next ones, and I'll make sure to edit this one when this story is over to make it better.
