The moment those words escaped Eric's mouth, Mysterion cried out.
"BARRICADE THE DOORS! KEEP THEM OUT!"
Eric, Kyle and Stan held the door while Mysterion thought of a plan.
Then, he said, "Let them in. I know what we need to do."
Eric was about to object but Stan stopped him and stepped away from the door, then Kyle and finally Eric.
All of the parents burst in and Carol shouted out.
"Alright you masked freak, where is mah daughter?!"
Mysterion remained un-phased and called, "Karen, come here."
The pig tailed child carefully and tiredly walked out of her bedroom and her her Angel's side.
"Yes, Guardian Angel?"
Mysterion looked to his Parents and said, "I'm going to let her choose. Whoever she chooses, is who she stays with, the other will leave her alone."
Carol was about to say No but realized, maybe her daughter would have some sense and agreed.
"Karen, I'm giving you a choice. Do you want to stay with me? or. Go home with your Parents?"
Karen looked between Mysterion and her Mom and Dad and knew her choice.
"Guardian Angel, I choose you."
Carol was close to crying but knew that her and Mysterion had an agreement.
"Alright then, she is yours. At least we still have Kevin."
The parents left without another word.
"Come on Kyle, we need to go home."
"Stan, it's time for bed."
"Come on my little blueberry muffin, it's a school night."
All three children sighed and followed they're Mother and Fathers.
"Night Mysterion, see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight Mysterion.
"See ya Copycat."
Mysterion watched as everyone left and sighed, it was over. Karen was under his care, just as she should have been.
Mysterion felt two arms wrap around his waist and looked down to see Karen holding onto him.
He smiled and returned the embrace, He suddenly remembered that they had school tomorrow, He lifted Karen into his arms and held her in a cradle.
He walked down the hallway to her bedroom and placed her onto her Princess bed, He pulled the blankets over her and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight Karen, you know where to find me if you need me."
Mysterion quietly left her room and entered his own. It too had his own theme to it with Green, Black and Purple questions marks and a green question mark shaped bed.
All in All, that night was one of the best. For both him and his sister...
