Chapter 7

Alex: So this is the HOK.

Alex looked around at the large main room as the Guardians showed him around.

Ish: Yes, this is where we meet for missions or emergencys.

Alex: I take it it's been use alot due to...you know.

Ish and the others looked in sorrow, some rubbing their arms, but they quickly shoke it off not wanting to upset him.

Ash: Yeah, it still hurts.

Alex: Sorry for the reminder

As Alex walked down he saw a female working at the monitors with a being.

Jessica: Seems all good for now. No signs of him or any other threats.

Peg-Leg: Good to double che-Um, Lass.

Jessica turned to see the boy next to her friends.

Jessica: Alexander, or Alex is it?

Alex: Yes, how did you-

Jessica: Profile information. Have it for all potential Guardians.

Peg-Leg: You sure he's fine guys?

Jack: He is...we'll make sure of it.

Jessica: We're not the ones to judge, however. I think I know someone who might.

Alex raised an eyebrow

Alex: Who?

Jessica beckoned over someone. As they came closer, Alex eyes widen as he saw the Seahawk Rusher walking towards them.

Freefall: Hello Alex.

Alex just stared. The others were concerned.

Juniper: Um, Alex?

Joseph: You going to be okay?

Alex shoke his head.

Alex: Y-yeah, i will be.

Jessica: Alright, Freefall you brought it?

Freefall nodded as he brought out a device that the older Guardians recognized immediately.

Ish: Hey, isn't that the device you used on me to check for Anitcorian residue.

Freefall: Yes, but we figured out it can be use for something else...as much as it hurts to say, you kids were right saying to be prepared of anyone going rouge on us.

They looked away sadly.

Kristie: Tobias and Samuel are still taking it hard...how are they doing?

Tua: Along with Pillage and Arrow-Head doing?

Freefall: Working hard with the others, though they still make trips to the grave site...i think out of all of us those loses hurt them the most too along with Sam and Tobias.

Alex: Question...what is that thing for now?

Freefall pointed the device as it flares to life.

Freefall: To make sure there is no overflow of negative energy.

Alex nodded as Freefall checked him over, the machine observing the energies.

Alex: How is Sonar?

Everyone turned to him in surprise.

Ish: He know, everything, He even knew we were the Guardians but did not tell anyone.

Alex: My father told me stuff like that is personal information. Listen, even if I not meant to be a Guardian, I want to help your friends. This whole experience is something I cannot look over, especially with Sonar PTSD mutisim.

Freefall looked up.

Freefall: That explains so much.

Alex: I understand that what just happened hurts, and it will hurt facing him. But I want you guys to know me and my family will do what we can to help.

A soft buzz was heard as Freefall looked at the screen...tears of relief and joy ran down his face.

Freefall: It's perfect...a prefect balance...

Everyone smiled at this.

RZ: Alex...welcome to the team.

Alex gave RZ a nod, before he turned his attention to Freefall.

Alex: I will do my best to help.

Freefall handed him his NFLR, Alex placing it on his wrist.

RZ: I will notify you-

Alex: Would you mind if i do it...there is something i need to ask him and it regards Sonar.

To Be Continued...
