I should have told y'all this in the first chapter, but expect characters to be OOC as the Grand War and the Assembly of the Wicked have changed them for the worst.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Trux is surprised at how well she is being treated in this prison.
She knows how much rebels, heroes, and common people hate her and the rest of the Assembly of the Wick as they are responsible for ruining their lives and taking so many of their loved ones away from them. Either by killing them, forcing them to work for them, or putting them in camps or prisons if they were acting out and rebelling against them. Trux knows she isn't innocent as she did participate in some of the atrocities committed by the Assembly of the Wicked and knows she left so many orphans without homes or families. When she was captured by Jay-Jay, she expected Him to either torture her or kill her for vengeance, a promise, stuff like that and she also expected Him to look at her with His eyes full of hate. Instead, He made sure she and the others were bathed, fed, and well taken care of. He didn't mistreat them or beat them for His satisfaction. He talked to them like they were old friends and they are just seeing each other after a long time. It caught Trux off guard as she was expecting to die or be tortured.
But the thing that surprised her the most is His eyes. Jay-Jay's eyes weren't full of hate and fury... they were filled with love but with great disappointment. At first, Trux thought she was tripping as she do all kinds of drugs. Cocaine, meth, weed, LSD, heroin, ketamine, etc. But that is beside the point. Trux couldn't fathom the situation as she was greatly confused at the thought of someone not hating her and isn't looking for vengeance. She dismissed it as she thought she was high. Turns out, she wasn't as the other prisoners pointed it out too which almost made Trux pass out. Well, at least she knows she wasn't that high. However, it made the situation much more confusing and raised Trux's curiosity about Jay-Jay as she wants to know what kind of drugs He taking so she can get some.
For real though, Trux is curious about Jay-Jay. How could He not hate her and wants to torture or kill her? Trux isn't gonna lie, she knows deserved either of that as she did a lot of messed-up stuff. She didn't want to join the Assembly of the Wicked at first, but to hear that they have cured for sick little brother, she was tempted. She thought it over the decision. She knows she would be against the Omega Omnisphere. Then again, what have they done for her? Nothing. People have mistreated her or made fun of her for having a sick little brother. She also resents the king of gods, Jay Jr. He was the one responsible for killing her father during his battle with the Juggernaut. She wanted to confront him but was afraid she was gonna get killed by his subjects as they don't appreciate Jay Jr. getting criticized. Trux tried to let it go, but she couldn't as the hate and resentment grew over time and Beretta took advantage of that.
She snapped out of her thoughts as the door opens it and hear the sound of boots clicking on the floors.
Trux looked up and smirk once she sees who it is.
"Well well, look who it is," Trux said as her smirk turned into a sick grin, "It has been a while, hasn't it? Phil Dunphy. How are your daughters doing after being taken as Beretta wives?" Trux hoped to get Phil riled up and angry at her so he could foolishly unlock the cell and take his anger out on her. She wanted to use this opportunity to escape from her cell and free the other members of the Assembly of the Wicked so they can continue ruling. However, Phil didn't fall for it as he knows that Trux is trying to get him to act irrationally so he could foolishly open the cell-You know where I'm getting at here.
Phil sat down in a chair and looked at Trux, "I'm not here to torture or whatever people do down here. I just came to talk to you," Phil couldn't believe it himself that he wanted to just talk to Trux as she was the one responsible for giving Beretta Alex and Haley for sick perverted desires. He remembers that when he and Claire first received the news vividly. How could he not? Those two were his daughters and he didn't want to see them with any perverted old creep. However, he failed when he first heard the news. He wanted to go storm Beretta's spaceship by himself, but some of his friends managed to talk him out of it. He blames himself for that happening. Hell, he still blames himself even though it wasn't his fault.
"Hmm. Well, this is surprising," Trux is puzzled by this. She was for sure that he was either gonna kill or torture her. She didn't know how she feel about this. She does know she is interested in why he wants to talk, "What forced you to talk to me?"
"Well, I'm curious on what forced join you to join the Assembly of the Wicked..." Phil paused as he takes a deep breath to calm himself down from the rage he is feeling towards Trux before he continued, "...And I may not know you well enough, but I know somewhere in you that you have a heart deep down in there."
Trux looks at him with a questioning look, "I guess those are good explanations, but I feel like you are not telling me everything,"
"Well, it is a long story," Phil said, "But since we have nothing but time. I guess I could tell you."
2 weeks earlier, Jay-Jay's dimension
It was another beautiful day on Jay-Jay's dimension.
Kids were playing, friends getting together, families getting reunited with each other, people training and sparring against each other. Just another usual day for them.
Edelgard and Phil are walking to the gardens. They wanted to speak to Jay-Jay about the prisoners. The two have noticed that Jay-Jay seems to have a no-killing rule as they were talking about how Jay-Jay seems to bring everyone alive and in chains. It dawn on them that Jay-Jay is merciful as they figured Jay-Jay would have at least killed one of the Assembly of the Wicked members, but no, He spare them and they are in a cell. The two aren't worried about any of the prisoners escaping the cell as they know how tough the cells are and are very secure. They are just curious about the whole situation.
To be fair to the two, the Assembly of the Wicked has committed atrocities towards them and to the people across the Omega Omnnisphere and either kill or take so many of their loved ones. Sure, they know Jay-Jay is a forgiving and merciful Man, but He has to a limit, right? It is not like He is God or anything like that. The two know that not all the members of the Assembly of the Wicked are evil given the two have served the Assembly of the Wicked against their will. However, Jay-Jay brings in mass murderers, rapists, pedophiles, nazis, dictators, terrorists, etc. They thought Jay-Jay would at least hate some of them, but He doesn't. They see it in His eyes. He looks at all of them with immense love, but with great disappointment.
The two made it to the gardens. Jay-Jay and Deadpool got done putting the last seed into the soil.
"And that the basics of gardening," Jay-Jay said, "I teach you more about this tomorrow. I got stuff to do."
Deadpool nods, "Alright. Thank you again for taking me in,"
"There no need to thank Me...just enjoy your freedom," Jay-Jay told Deadpool. Deadpool nods and walks off. Deadpool walks past Edelgard and Phil. If looks could kill, Deadpool will die a trillion times over with the looks that Edelgard and Phil give him as he walked past the two. He couldn't blame them though. He worked as a mercenary for the Assembly of the Wicked, but he was fooled by Beretta as the dragon told the merc with the mouth he could have fame, glory, and most important of all, have the chance to proved to be a hero too. Turns out, he was wrong as he was forced to work with them and commit atrocities he didn't want to be a part of. Now, he is free from the Assembly of the Wicked and has the chance to be a hero.
"Hello, you two," Jay-Jay said catching Edelgard and Phil, "I know you two want to talk. Let's go to a more comfortable place."
"You want to talk about the enemies," Jay-Jay simply said, Phil and Edelgard nods at this while sipping the tea that Jay-Jay made for them.
"We do," Edelgard said as she put down her cup and look at Jay-Jay, "Don't take this the wrong way, but how come You never kill them?"
"Because I believe in second chances," Jay-Jay said.
"We know that," Phil said sipping some of his tea, "However, some of these criminals we are keeping have committed unforgivable acts that Edelgard and I simply can't forget or possibly forgive them. Look, I'm a believer of second chances, but I have a limit and I hope You understand that."
"I understand that," Jay-Jay said, "I'm not asking any of you to forgive them or forget what they have to do you and the ones you loved. I know you two are angry at what some of these people have to do to you or your loved ones and want revenge. However, don't let anger and revenge consume you. I have seen what happened to those who got consumed by anger and revenge and it wasn't pretty for either of those people." Once He was done with that, Edelgard and Phil reflected on their feelings and realized that almost got consumed by their anger and their desire for revenge. "I'm not asking either of you to get over your anger and your desire for revenge. The things you were forced to partake in and what the Assembly of the Wicked has to do are terrible and messed up. I see why you two feel that way and it gonna take a lot of therapy and time to cope with the anger and revenge."
"What do You suggest we do then?" Edelgard asked as she feel part of her curiosity is satisfied.
"Use it as motivation to help make a better future for all of us," Jay-Jay suggested to them earning shocked looks from Edelgard and Phil, "I know anger and a strong desire for revenge is negative to ," have, but I also know it great ways to keep going and can be used for good. Just don't it consume you." Edelgard and Phil glance at each other then back at Jay-Jay. The two thought it over and realized they can use it for good.
"You do have a point," Phil said as he think it could work, "What about You? We all know You are on the side now as it wouldn't make sense if You were with them, but You seem not to have any desire for revenge and don't seem to anger at them. We saw it in Your eyes that You look at them and at us with immense love. What with that?"
Jay-Jay looks at them as His calm smile turns into a serious smile, "I love everyone and I have no hatred in My heart. Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed on how they committed horrible acts and are with the Assembly of the Wicked. I don't hate them though and I do forgive them," Edelgard and Phil are taken back by this as they almost spit their tea, but managed to swallow just in time. Wow, that they can think. They know that Jay-Jay is a great Man and the best person they know, but for Him to be forgiving to this extent is a shock for them.
"I see," Edelgard said as she put her cup down slowly while Phil refill his cup and take one big sip of it, "Does that mean they are let go?"
"No. I forgive them, however, it doesn't that they are safe to interact with the public and they should learn they are consequences to their actions," Edelgard and Phil nod as they get what He is saying and the Assembly of the Wicked has gotten too comfortable of committing evil acts and answering to no one for it.
"Well, that's what we wanted to talk about," Edelgard said as she and Phil stands up from their seat, "This has been a good talk."
"And as always, making the best tea," Phil said with a satisfied smile.
Jay-Jay nods, "One more thing, always remember that forgiveness is not weakness as it can give you strength, and sometimes you are not forgiving the person that wronged you, but instead you have to forgive yourself. And understand your enemy...not all of them are pure evil and enjoy what they are doing or who they are with," Edelgard and Phil slowly nod and exited out of the room.
"Your leader sounds like one hella of a Guy that for sure," Trux said she listened to every word of the story that Phil was telling her, "However, with that kind of thinking this Rebellion would end soon, and the Assembly of the Wicked reign will continue as nothing happened."
"Maybe you're right," Phil said causing Trux to gasp in shock at this.
"Oh? This is interesting. I thought you left us because you have faith in this Jay-Jay?"
"It was a gamble, to be honest. And I didn't think I could take more of Beretta's mind games with me or him basically tongue kissing my daughters,"
"I see," Trux has a small smirk on her face. She always thought of the people that are with Jay-Jay because they had faith in Him. To found out at least don' really have faith in Him and are with because they are tired Beretta spring a few ideas into her head. Phil noticed the smirk on Trux's face and didn't like it as it unsettled him, "Well, it been a good talk, Phil. You may want to rethink your decision as who knows what Beretta will do to you." Phil quickly stands up from his seat without saying a word and hurriedly left the room. Leaving Trux alone.
Satisfied, Trux's smirk turn into a wide smile. 'Oh, this can work,' She thought as she closes her eyes and take a nap.
