Taylor went upstairs and knocked on Tyler's room.
"Tyler! It's me! Mind if I come in?" Taylor said, when the door opened. "Is it alright if I talked to you?"
"Sure. Come in." Tyler responded, as Taylor went in and closed the door.
"I know your still mad, but you know your father didn't mean to raise his voice at you." Taylor said.
"I don't get it, why doesn't he want me to join the Silver Guardians?" Tyler asked.
"He probably thinks your not ready and wants you start off on your studies first." Taylor answered.
"He doesn't understand that this is what I want, you know how much I looked up to him and admired on what he does, I wanted to grow up and become just like him one day." Tyler said.
"I didn't know you looked up to him that much." Taylor said.
"And now he just ruined it for me, he doesn't believe in me." Tyler said.
"Don't say that, your father does believe in you and we both want you and your sister to start off on college and think on what you'll do soon. Do you know what I mean?" Taylor explained.
"I guess, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try, but that doesn't mean I won't give myself up on wanting to be a Silver Guardian." Tyler said.
"Well, if it's what you want, though you and your sister are going to be eighteen soon, I guess I can say I'm not against you wanting to be a Silver Guardian." Taylor said.
"At least you understand, but dad doesn't." Tyler said.
"You can't stay mad at him. Can you at least try and talk to him?" Taylor said.
"Can I just try and calm myself a little, then I'll think about it." Tyler said.
"Sure. Whatever makes you feel alright." Taylor said.
"Thanks mom." Tyler said, and hugged her.
"No problem." Taylor responded, and left out his room then went downstairs seeing Eric and Megan in the living room.
"How is he?" Eric asked.
"A little mad, but he's trying to calm himself down." Taylor answered.
"I guess I can't blame him, but you know why I can't tell him." Eric said.
"I know, just try and talk to him a bit later." Taylor said.
"I will." Eric said. "I better get going. I'll see you later."
"Try to have a good day, at least." Taylor responded.
"Bye dad." Megan said.
"Bye. Keep an eye on your brother." Eric said.
"Usually he's the one who keeps an eye on me, but okay." Megan said, and Eric left out the door.
"I hope they both work it out." Taylor said.
"Me too, I know they will." Megan said.
Meanwhile
Sky along with Chase came back from his run, then went upstairs to his room, then took a shower and got dressed, he laid on his bed, resting for a bit and grabbed something from his nightstand, it was a picture frame of his grandfather and started to remember.
Flashback
Five Years Ago
Sky along with Tyler and Megan were walking their way home after getting out of school.
"You guys want to come over to finish up our homework?" Sky asked.
"Sure. Our parents won't be coming home till much later." Megan said.
"At least we no longer need a babysitter, we can take care on our our own." Tyler said.
"True. Though Tiffany moved to another place, I miss her." Megan said.
"So do I. She was the best." Tyler said.
"Good thing I had my mom around to take care of me and Andrea." Sky said, when arriving at his house, then went inside seeing Jen and Alex along with Eric and Taylor there also in the living room.
"Mom. Dad. What are you two doing here?" Megan asked.
"Why aren't you two at work?" Tyler asked, but neither of them responded.
"Mom. Alex. Is everything okay?" Sky asked, seeing everyone a bit sad.
"Sweetie...there is no easy way to tell you this." Jen answered, trying to hold back her tears.
"What are you talking about?" Sky asked.
"I just need you to stay strong." Jen answered.
"What are you trying to tell me?" Sky asked.
"It's your grandfather, Sky...he...he had a heart attack." Eric said.
"But he's going to get better? Right?" Sky asked, then saw his mother started to cry with Alex by her..
"I'm sorry to say this...but...he...he passed away." Alex answered, and Sky couldn't believe it.
"No...please tell me...it's not true." Sky said.
"Wish it wasn't...but it happened so fast...I'm sorry." Jen said, and hugged her son, already started to cry.
End of Flashback
Sky then heard a knock on his door, and got up.
"Sky! It's Andrea! Can I come in?" Andrea said.
"Sure!" Sky responded, as she came in and sat next to him on his bed.
"How was your run?" she asked.
"It was alright. Like always." he answered, when she looked at the picture he had on his hand.
"I almost forgot how he looked like." Andrea said. "Mind if I look?"
"Sure. Here." Sky handed the picture to her.
"I can barely remember him. It was so long." Andrea said.
"You were only eight years old, when he...passed away." Sky said.
"Do you miss him?" she asked.
"A lot, even mom." he answered.
"Me too. Both of them." Andrea said, as both brother and sister hugged in sadness, with Chase close with them.
"I remember when he gave Chase to me as a birthday present, it was the best." Sky said.
"Who named him Chase?" Andrea asked.
"Your dad did." Sky answered.
"Can I ask you something?" she said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"How come you and him aren't as close anymore? What happened?" she asked.
"I don't know, I didn't bond with him as much back when I was a kid, I guess I started to grow up, felt like I didn't need a dad anymore." Sky explained.
"Have you ever met your dad?" Andrea asked.
"I never did, he died and never knew about me." Sky answered.
"I'm sorry." Andrea said. "So mom raised you on her own?"
"Yeah. But she had help from uncle Michael and her friends, even your dad." Sky answered.
"It's been a long time since I've seen them, I can't remember them much. Do you think they know already about mom?" Andrea asked.
"I don't know if your dad already informed them, to wherever they live." Sky answered.
"Do you know where?" she asked.
"Not really, I can barely remember how it looked like, I just hope they are doing okay." Sky said. "Why don't we get out of the house for a bit, your dad won't be home till late."
"Okay. Where should we go?" Andrea asked.
"Let's stop by Tyler and Megan, I owe them a bit of an explanation about yesterday." Sky answered.
"Sure. Let's go." Andrea said, as they both left out and headed their way.
Silver Guardian HQ
Eric was in his office doing some paper work, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Eric said, when the door opened to see it was Alex. "Hey."
"Hey. How have you been?" Alex asked.
"You know same old things." Eric answered. "And you?"
"It's been okay, I guess." Alex responded.
"Everything okay with Sky?" Eric asked.
"Not really, I've talked to him, though I was surprised on what he told me." Alex answered.
"About what?" Eric asked.
"He'll be leaving to New Tech City." Alex answered.
"Why?" Eric asked.
"He got in to an academy there, he had it planned for a while ever since he found out about his power." Alex explained.
"I remember, Tyler told us about it when they got back from soccer practice." Eric said.
"Believe me we were too, and figured out where his power came from; the mutation in his blood cells." Alex said.
"Did you ever tell him about it?" Eric asked.
"I've been wanting to, but with Jennifer no longer here, it's been complicated." Alex answered.
"You two weren't as close much since he was a kid, he had been wanting you to be his father." Eric said.
"I know, now he's all grown up and he even said I don't have to worry about him anymore, he's right, I'm not even his dad." Alex said.
"But you did your best to be a good father to him and you have to tell him the whole truth." Eric said, then looked at his watch. "I got to get going, I have meeting in five minutes. See you a bit later."
"Sure. Bye." Alex said and both walked out, then Alex walked out for a minute heading his way to the cemetery and found Jen's grave and looked at it for a minute then he started to say something. "Jennifer. I'm sorry. I have to do what's best." he then left heading his way back.
