When Victor got to his dad's house he saw Silas sitting on the kitchen table. Silas almost immediately ran up to Victor and hugged Victor for the first time in many months, smiled.

"Victor is it really you or am I seeing things before I kick the bucket." Silas said, crying into Victor's chest, trying to keep back the tears. "I mean Dr D texted me to say you were coming but I don't believe him. Why would you come see me."

"Dad, I am here and that is all that matters. I will never leave you again."

"Victor…"

"I'm your son. Call me your son."

"Son, I have been thinking about what you said. Your right I haven't been there when you really needed me. I didn't listen to your mother and it led to all of this, everything that has happened."

"That doesn't matter. Let's put the past behind us, okay. What matters is you are with me now. You want to go out for a drink."

"It's late, son. I have beers in the fridge."

"I will go and get them. You sit down." Silas went and sat down in the living room as Victor went and got the drinks out of the fridge.

"Son, I need to tell you something."

"What is it dad you can tell me anything."

"I am dying."

"What! How could you not tell me?"

"I have cancer. The explosion poisoned me. I tried telling you but well… you know what happened."

"Hey you were the one that did this. Dad, why can't you just use the blasted tech in STAR. Don't want to be mean but you were all too happy to use it on me. So you will happily do what you want to your son even though I would have never wanted it but when it comes to doing something you don't want to do you will not do it. The world isn't all about you. You know what you and Dr D are wrong, I don't care about you. I'm going!"

"No, Victor. You have to stay here and help me."

"Help you what. Get what you want. No chance. And you can't stop me."

"Actually I can. You know the device Bruce Wayne was playing with when you were talking to him."

"Yeah never found out what it does though."

"Well it does this." Silas said as he pressed a button on a remote that he had brought out from his pocket and then Victor started to feel really weak. Wide awake but weak, very weak. Suddenly his knees buckled and he fell to the ground.

"You got Bruce to put an inhibitor chip into my cybernetics. You really are insane! Get it out of me now!" Silas just knelt down in front of Victor with a frown on his face.

"I will as long as you promise to not try and escape again. Every time you try to escape I will immobilize you, each time 1 hour longer than the time before. Got it?"

"Hmm… fine. I promise but I am still not happy with you." Silas remobilized Victor and he ran to his room. Silas looked down at the floor, disappointed. Then he brought out his phone and phoned Bruce Wayne.

"Bruce Wayne, how may I help you."

"Thank you for all your work. I hope the video files of his transformation will help you in what you are doing."

"Oh I am sure they will be fine. Thank you. Call me if you need anything else."

"Same for you. Goodbye."
