Chapter 7
The children were released from him. Garou took the time to stretch himself out and get off his back, yet, he paused when he realized he was glowing green! "Melee?" he said, but quickly covered his mouth.
Melee came into the room. "No, you can speak. Tatsumaki taught me a new trick. We will say hidden like this, she will help if and when need be, for now, this will hide us from Metal Knight's drones." Melee paused. "I don't think he is looking for us Garou… he's looking for them."
The triplets froze. "He thinks your dead then, doesn't he?"
"Yes."
Pac fell silent. "Mom… dad… we have an idea… but… we will be away from you for a while." Said Pac.
"An idea? What do you have in mind?" asked Garou.
"We're going to beat Metal Knight at his own game!" said Alley. "I know things… I know computers, they fascinate me, but I think I can break them apart and know how they work." She said. "I know… I can find Metal Knight if given enough time and means. But, we want to get a full confession out of him!"
"That's not justice." Garou said, his lip curled in anger. "That's not my idea of justice!"
"We're going to expose him dad, and when we do. No one is going to what to help him, or have his help!" protested Pac. "Please, dad. We need to do this ourselves. We are the ones he hurt, let us hurt him back!"
Garou sighed, but nodded in agreement with his children. "But how? He's going to keep sending drones here day in and out!"
"Tatsumaki gave me an idea, she suggested the triplets live at the heroes association for a while."
"Leave them there? He's got the damn thing wired! He will know their every move and their plan!" protested Garou.
"No… let him think that. And consider this, if we are at the heroes association, how can he get us with everyone watching? We will tell everyone what happened to you, and they will know to keep an eye on us." Said Hunter.
"I don't like the idea."
"I don't either Garou, but it's all we have to go with right now. There are other heroes there that will keep an eye on the kids, Metal Knight would have to be stupid to try and do something there in front of everyone!"
He paused on the thought; the kids stared at him with pleading eyes. He reluctantly agreed. "Fine…" he said. "But the moment I get a shot at him… I am taking it!"
With the idea agreed upon, Pac then said something rather heartbreaking. "I got to do one more thing." He whispered.
