"Yes I can see why you have adopted your disguise now. Quite the clever and adaptable strategy to solve the problem you were presented with. If you require any assistance or need aid in maintaining your cover or during your assignment then all you need do is ask. My strategies and deck are yours if you so require." Bastion said as the two of them made it to the tennis field where Jaden was slated to serve his detention with Harrington, who was apparently that guy from earlier who had ended up saving Alexis from a nasty hit with a tennis ball.
"Thanks Bastion! But it looks like this is where we go our separate ways. See you after detention!" Jaden said smiling thankfully at his friend and then waving the British boy off as Jaden changed into the uniform he had been given for gym class and made his way out onto the field where Harrington was waiting for him.
"I shall be by to check on you soon." Bastion said with a nod as he turned to leave, not even making it past the door to the gym before he was immediately confronted with a glaring Crowler.
"You and I need to have a little talk Mister Misawa." Crowler said in a rather sickening and horrifying tone of voice as he grinned but glared at Bastion who gulped audibly and paled under the look of the protective papa.
"Crowler no!" Fonda said grabbing Crowler's arm and trying to tug him backwards away from the British student, Satyr grabbing the taller mans other arm and pulling him as well so that Fonda wasn't trying to do it all on her own.
"Crowler no killing our students without good cause!" Satyr said trying to calm the man down.
"He was getting too close to my princess! I have a good reason!" Crowler protested as he was dragged away from Bastion by the other two while Bastion merely sweat-dropped a bit. He had never seen Doctor Crowler act this way. Then again he had never realized that he had been spending time talking and walking with Crowlers daughter, looking very much like a couple to the outside world he was sure.
"Sir I promise you I have no intentions to do or go anywhere with Jaden…er Lilith in any sense of the word. In simple terms we are merely acquaintances working on becoming friends. Nothing more. Nothing less." Bastion said trying to calm the older man down a bit and instead only earning a worse glare from Crowler who seemed to be madder at this.
"Are you trying to say my daughter isn't good enough for you Misawa? Is there something wrong with my daughter so that you aren't interested in her?" Crowler demanded as he struggled against the other two, making Fonda grunt slightly in exertion as she tried to help hold him back while Satyr let out a grunting sound as well. Bastion didn't bat an eye, but he did back up a step just to be on the safe side. After all this kind of Doctor Crowler was an unknown variable.
"Not at all sir. However I do not know her, nor does she know me, well enough for either of us to be remotely interested in each other romantically at all. It is simply not feasible for us to become a couple, much less a functioning healthy one, until we know each other better and only if both of us agree that we are interested in seeing if we are…romantically compatible. Such a thing however will require weeks to months of getting to know each other to that kind of a degree. There is nothing for you to be concerned about in regards to my 'intentions' towards your daughter at the present time." Bastion calmly pointed out and laid it out clearly so that there could be no misunderstandings.
Crowler paused as he stared at Bastion unblinkingly for a long moment before he jerked his arms free from the other two and nodded his head sharply.
"Fine. I can understand that. I will back off a bit but if I see any hints or clues that you are attempting to do anything to my princess that I don't like then I will be coming after you and I will not be able to be held back." Crowler said his voice dark but not threatening just yet. Instead it sounded as if he were just merely stating a fact.
Somehow hearing the usual temperamental and over the top professor talking so darkly and calmly was a lot scarier than the man violently trying to get at him.
"I understand sir." Bastion said nodding his head and making Crowler narrow his eyes at him for another minute or two before he snarled slightly to himself and turned around to storm off. He didn't like this at all. Not one bit!
He did not like the fact that someone knew his daughters identity and gender and could start getting interested in dating his little princess! She was not old enough to be dating! She was only fifteen and she wasn't allowed to date until she was fifty-three if he had his way!
"Well…that went a lot better than I thought it would." Fonda said looking relieved that Bastion was in one piece and Crowler had apparently decided to go and do something else instead of rip the boy to shreds.
"Agreed. Last time he thought someone was truly interested in the princess he broke the guy's nose and three of his fingers. To be fair we probably would have done the same since she had been thirteen and that guy was at least nineteen." Satyr pointed out making Fonda nod in agreement rapidly.
"Oh we would have definitely done the same if not worse. The only reason he didn't do worse himself was because four police officers pulled him off of the man." Fonda reminded the Ra headmaster who winced at that reminder while Bastion sweat dropped a bit. He's heard of there being protective parents but isn't this a bit ridiculous?
"He takes the term protective papa bear to the extreme doesn't he?" Bastion asked making the two teachers glance at him surprised as if they had forgotten that he was still there at all. Honestly he wouldn't be surprised if that had been the case.
"Well…she's his only daughter, his baby girl and princess. That plus her mother, his wife had vanished when she had been very young. She had barely been five years old actually and she only knows what her mother looks like thanks to some old pictures and only knows what we can tell her of her mother. There was no clues or anything about what happened to her. One day she was there the next she was screaming at Crowler to take Jaden and run and forget about her before she vanished into thin air." Fonda said after a moment of silently considering what to tell him.
"Ah Camie was a wonderful woman and an amazing duelist. She focused on a vampire themed deck if I recall. She and Crowler had been so happy and utterly in love with each other and she had loved Jaden so much…honestly there are only two reasons why she hasn't found some way to return to them or let them know what happened to her." Satyr said smiling fondly as he recalled those days when Crowler had been a happier man and a very loving and doting husband and father. He was still a loving and doting father, in fact more so after his wife's disappearance than ever. As if he were trying to cover for what was taken when his wife went missing.
"If she's somehow trapped or if she's dead. She was a strong woman, strong willed too, and as cunning as any fox…she wouldn't have died easily or quietly and someone would have seen or said something by now. Crowler and Jaden both still hold out hope that she's alive and kept prisoner somewhere and they'll be able to find her and save her and bring her back to her family…even if everyone else believes that she died and her murder was covered up." Fonda said grimacing and honestly not sure which option she preferred to have befallen her sister-in-law of sorts. After all most female prisoners often wished they were dead after only a few months or a year… and Camie had been missing for going on ten years.
"I see…" Bastion closed his eyes as he absorbed that new information for a moment before he opened his eyes and glanced back at where Jaden was now playing tennis against Harrington. She was losing pretty badly it seemed but right now it looked as if she were still trying to have fun with the sport.
"I already offered her my help with her assignment regarding finding out what is going on at the school and dealing with the bullying problem…there is no harm in me helping her find her mother or at least help her find some closure as to what befell her mother if that is the case." Bastion said causing the two teachers to give him a look that was a mixture of grateful, suspicious, and annoyed.
It was Fonda who said what they were both thinking it seemed.
"Honestly if you keep saying things like that then even us holding him back won't keep Crowler from hurting you. He doesn't look it but he can be downright feral when it comes to protecting his daughter."
