Chapter 26

They arrived back an hour later. Snek was waiting for them in the living room as Garou and the family went out for the evening. He sat them down and asked. "What are we going to do? Are you going to move here, or do you want to stay in City F?" he asked.

Angela sighed. "I still… haven't quite decided yet." She confessed. "I am writing a list of pros and cons to it all, but there are so many variables I have to take into consideration."

Snek nodded and understood. Drax however insisted they move here. "Mom, we have everything here. The family is awesome, I am going to learn from them. I don't mind the stairs, hell to me, that's training!" he said.

"Drax, it's not just what's best for you, it's what's best for all of us," Angela explained.

"So here! Snek's here, there's a school literally down at the foot of the mountain, I'll be close by. Not to mention we are in the most possibly safest place in the world!" he said.

Angela smiled, but Snek could tell she was very uncertain of this. Something bothered her greatly, but he didn't want to say anything about it. "It's a long and hard process kid, don't force the issue with your mom okay?"

Drax sighed and nodded. "Yeah, okay." He said begrudgingly.

"Take your time Angela. I know this isn't an easy choice to make, and it's a big one too. I'll do whatever you need me to do to ensure you are comfortable, no matter where you choose to go or where to be."

She gave but a nod. "I'm sorry this is taking so long. It should be an easy choice, it's just that…"

"You're not exactly thrilled that the last two men you have been with became monsters."

Her eyes widened in shock. "How did you…"

"I forgot to mention that when I am like this, I pick up on vibrations easily. It can give away a lot on people's state of minds and emotions. Right now, I can feel your heart racing since what I said is true. I can feel your body is tense since you know that I know you have yet to choose on where you want to be. Angela, it's okay to take your time and decide. I can't just uproot the two of you like it's nothing and bring you into a whole different way of living since I am like this."

"But, you're going to be my dad… I want to be with my dad!" protested Drax.

Her heart rate just spiked. Snek turned as she tried to calm herself down. "What was that about?" he asked.

"Nothing, a lot on my mind. That's all." She said.

He couldn't help but feel that was a lie, but he didn't push her on it either. "You two want to spend the night here? The twins will share their room again with you Drax. Alley is already making plans on expanding the place again."

"Sure!"

"Angela, you can stay with Alley… or me tonight, the choice is yours. I think I am going to go to bed myself."

Snek slithered off to his room, he began to feel that Angela is going to stay in City F with Drax. He doesn't mind the idea of making the trip to see them both, yet he wondered how they will be able to function as a family if that's the case.

As Snek got ready for bed, his door opened. Angela slipped in and laid next to him. "I'm so sorry." She said and cuddled into him.

"Don't be, I know it's a big change for you…"

"No, it's not that. Snek… I really don't know what will be best for Drax!"

"You don't want him around here, do you?"

"The family is wonderful. I just worry if they get a little too rough with him, what if they accidently hurt him. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself…"

"Everyone here knows their strength and they know better than to use a lot of it against someone like Drax."

"I know, but I still worry."

"It's understandable, just really think about it. Okay? For me?" he asked.

She nodded.

Snek grabbed the blanket Pac gave him for his birthday and wrapped it over himself and Angela. Perhaps tomorrow she will show her that the guys aren't that bad, and know when to hold back.
