Chapter 6:
*Plop*
Aiden's line goes into the lake. Reeling it back in, his cap slightly covering his eyebrows.
"So, what's her name?" Jack smirked as he asked.
"Brie, Brie Moon." Aiden responded with an identical smirk.
"Sweet. I am happy for you kid.".
"Thanks dad.".
"I heard about your nanites reactivating too, you know.".
Immediately, his hand covers the feeding scar, and clenching it, a deadly reminder of what he is. "I should be thankful, but I can't help but feel as if a piece of me died that day.".
"Son, you have to understand, you can't hide what you are, all you can do is except and adapt." Jack places his hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"I have adapted dad, that's why I lost Gabriela in the first place. And Stevie, I don't know what happened to him. He just cut all contact with me. Not even a goodbye, now I am the villain.".
"That's because they didn't deserve your appreciation. If they did appreciate you, they wouldn't have cut ties with you.".
"Or I did deserve it.".
While throwing his line back in, a vision hits him, he looks over to his father, "She's back!".
"Who is? RepliCarter?".
"No… Nirrti. Nirrti's back.".
