New life, new beginning

Nashville, Tennessee. It was just as beautiful in real life than on the brocher. People left the airport entrance. Some ran to family, others to loves. One person, or being, stood out. He was small, a worn out hoodie on him and a rugged backpack. His face was hidden, though he seem to look down on a object in his gloved hands. It was an Urn. A light emerald Ming urn with golden accents on it.

?: Mother, Father...we're here. I fulfilled you dream at last.

He open the lid and let a gust of powerful wind blow the ashes away as he relished it. It was quiet for a moment before it was stopped by his stomach growling. He sighed and began walking as the rain predicted to day started to fall.

?: I guess now I'll have to find shelter...I'm sure the folks here wouldn't let a freak like me inside if I asked.

That night...

Cyclops' rain boot splashed through the wet streets, umbrella up as the rain continued to fall. He was heading back to the stadium after a long meeting with the owner. It had gone a bit longer than expected...but it was quite enjoyable. The next season was planned. Cyclops remembered the threat the Anticorians rouges sent, the guardians patrolling during the day. But so far nothing. Cyclops reassured them it probably was just a threat to intimidate them and they went home, he promising them to let them know anything else. So now here he was, heading back. He was about to take a turn to a alley when...

Stellaria: YOU MONUMENTAL MORONS!

Cyclops stopped and hid beside the wall turning his head slightly into the alley way...seeing the three Anticorians.

Ankoro: It's not my fault that homeless peasant drank it!

Zich: *Anticorian language*

Stellaria: This whole day, RUINED! And all because of-

Cyclops: *Bit angry* May I help you?

The three Anticorians tuned to see Cyclops looking at them in anger.

Cyclops: So you DID have something plan...guess it went off the rails though.

Stellaria screamed in rage and charged at the Titian. Cyclops looked in shock and dodge her, as well as the other two and ran down the rainy streets.

Stellaria: *Far away* AFTER HIM!

Few minutes later...

Cyclops made a turn behind a few crates as he heard the Anticorians ran by. Cyclops sighed in relief, but it hitched when he heard a 'clank;. Cyclops turned around ready to attack, but stopped when he saw a small hooded figure, swaying back and forth.

?: H-Hello there...

Cyclops: *Shocked* What are you doing out here in a storm?

?: S-Sorry..I was just looking for a place to stay, I-I'll leave

The figure attempt to turn, but he swayed and fell. Cyclops reacted quickly and caught him...the hood, which was already falling apart, fell to the wet ground..

Cyclops: Hey there! You all-

Cyclops eyes shrank. The person, wasn't a person...It was a Ocelot Rusher. He was struggling to breathe. He slowly sat down next to him.

Cyclops: *Worry/Fear* Hey! Can you hear me?!

Cyclops watched in fear...and then remember what the Anticorians said 'homeless. drank it.' He was poisoned without knowing it The Ocelot, eyes fluttered open and close.

Cyclops: A-Are you okay?

Ocelot Rusher: I-I-I-

The Loco Rusher coughed up and then threw up...the smell of liquid very strong. Cyclops flinched as a bit got on his arm, stinging it a little. But at least this got the poison out. Cyclops rubbed the Ocelots, and silently gasped. He could feel his ribs. Just what has this poor Rusher been though? Cyclops shoke his head, there was no time to worry about that right now. Cyclops took of his raincoat and wrapped it around the Ocelot.

Ocelot Rusher: W-What are you-

Cyclops: I'm not going to let you stay out in the rain or on the streets any longer *Picks him up*

Ocelot Rusher: Where are we going?

Cyclops: -Sighs- Somewhere safe..

Cyclops ran out onto the streets and through the rain, carrying the Ocelot Rusher.

Later, in the First Aide room...

Cyclops kicked open the door, still carrying the Ocelot. He placed the raincoat on a hanger and walked over to one of the beds, placing the Rusher on it. He quickly ran to the closet and grabbed some towels and blankets, running back and started drying him off.

Ocelot Rusher: T-Thank you but...W-why did yo save me? A-Are you a Rusher like mother mention?

Cyclops: I'll explain later...right now make you self comfortable...umm..

Ollus: Ollus, My name is Ollus.

Cyclops: *Finishes drying Ollus off* Nice to meet you Ollus, my name is Cyclops.

Cyclops wraps the blanket around and goes to the cabinet. He looks around and finds a can of soup, chicken. Grabbing, opening and pouring in a bowl he placed it in the Microwave and started to cook it, the warm smell filling the room as he washed his arm from the stinging liquid from outside.

Ollus: Is that chicken noodle...it's been years since I had it, due to money...

Cyclops heart fell...just how long was he living like this. As the soup cooked, cyclops got out an extra pair of clothes and handed then to Ollus.

Cyclops: Thought you might want some more comfortable clothes.

Ollus smiled as the microwave ding. Cyclops ran back and grabbed it turned, surprised to see Ollus change out clothing so quickly and blanket around him once again. Cyclops walked over and handed Ollus the soup. Ollus nodded gratefully as he started eating.

Ollus: Mother said to find one of you, and I kept my promise.

Cyclops: Mother?

Ollus: My mother name was Mei Su, and my Father name was Ardamus.

Cyclops: Those are interesting Rusher names.

Ollus shoke his Brings out a picture frame. The picture was of him, a beautiful women with raven black hair and silver eyes, wearing a emerald kimono and an man with red hair and small beard with Blue eyes, wearing a Forest green clothing but with a medallion attached to one side.

Ollus: Their not Rusher, they were humans. I-I was raised here on Earth. I-Never got to know my real parents, or what I was. I was just an infant when I was sent here. My parents found me after they wished for a child of their own due to the fact that they were not able to do so. Mother was a weaver and a doll repairer, while Father worked with machine he created and despite being poor, we were happy. They taught me so much...Their dream to got to America but...*Tears formed* Father passed away years ago due to old age, and Mother fallowed a few weeks ago. Before she passed, she told me about you, about what I am and she gave me a jar, she had save up money for me to go here...promising that i would let their ashes go and blow in the winds when I landed...*Turns to Cyclops* And to think I could have died and one of you came and-

Ollus trembled...and then Cyclops hugged him softy, the bowl (Empty) gentle fell to the floor, not breaking. Ollus tears fell and he hugged him back, sobbing softy.

Cyclops: *Soothing* It's okay. It's okay.

Ollus was calmed down in a few minutes.

Ollus: T-Thank you, sorry about that.

Cyclops: It's okay...I know what it's like to lose people you love. But on the topic of your situation...I think it would be best if you stayed with us.

Ollus eyes widen, as the tears pricked his eyes again

Ollus: C-Come one Cyclops...I just calmed down.

Cyclops: *Smiles* I mean it. We'll talk about it to the rest of the Rusherz tomorrow, for now *Lays Ollus down on the bed* You need to get some rest..You had a long day and had a very long journey. Don't worry, I'll be right by your side for the night.

Ollus smiled and yawned.

Ollus: Thank you Cyclops...for everything.

Ollus eyes flutter shut and he fell asleep. Cyclops kicked his shoes and removed his helmet, wrapping himself in a blanket and snuggles up on the bed. He was asleep in an instant.

Today was definitely a long day...and with Ollus, it was going to be an interesting day tomorrow too.
