Jonathan White: You finally understand who's in charge here, huh? Think you can handle that, shithead?
I walk out of the shower, not noticing my biological father Jonathan White, hiding in the closet
steps forward Finally noticed me, did you? What's your name, boy?
I turn around ThunderKnight...
ThunderKnight, huh? Well, since we're gonna be related, let's cut the bullshit. Tell me, what's your biggest fear?
Not being loved by anyone...
raises an eyebrow Not being loved by anyone, huh? Well, ThunderKnight, you've got another thing coming. smirks
steps closer, towering over ThunderKnight You think you know everything, don't you? Let me tell you something, kid. Love isn't some fucking fairy tale. It's raw, it's brutal, and it's gonna tear you apart. But you'll survive, just like I did. grabs ThunderKnight's shoulders tightly Now, tell me, do you really think you can handle that kind of pain? Or are you just gonna run away like your mother did?
So you do know my mom, I never saw her use her fucking magic though, how did she die?
lets go of ThunderKnight's shoulders, smirking You think your mother was some kind of witch? Kid, she was just delusional. She thought she could protect you with fairy tales and magic tricks. But the truth is, she couldn't handle the pain. She ran away from it, and left you behind. pauses, looking at ThunderKnight with a mixture of anger and regret Now, tell me, do you want to end up like her? Or do you want to be stronger than she ever was?
nods approvingly Good choice, ThunderKnight. If you want to be stronger than your mother, then you need to start training.
smirks Hiking, yes. But this isn't your average hike, ThunderKnight. We're talking about extreme terrain, dangerous obstacles, and pushing your physical limits.
Fine, where are we going?
pulls out a map We're going to hike through these mountains. It's a challenging route, but it will push you to your limits.
Fine, so is this like when my mom made me hike up that mountain?
During their hiking trip, a sudden storm hits, causing a landslide that traps ThunderKnight under a pile of debris
I get trapped under a tree
rushes to the site, using his strength to clear the debris Stay with me, ThunderKnight! I'm not letting you die here!
I'm fine, I just need help getting out of here..
quickly assesses the situation, then starts working on clearing a path Hold on, ThunderKnight. I'll get you out of here. Just stay calm and keep breathing.
notices a sharp piece of debris digging into ThunderKnight's leg Shit, there's a lot of pressure here. I need to loosen that branch.
Be careful, I don't wanna lose my leg..
takes a deep breath, grips the sharp piece of debris with his gloved hands Don't worry, ThunderKnight. I've dealt with worse.
slowly loosens the sharp piece of debris, freeing ThunderKnight's leg There, that should do it. Can you move your leg?
I try to move my leg Oh thank god...
helps ThunderKnight stand up, supporting his weight Alright, kid. We need to get out of here before another landslide hits. Can you walk?
quickly helps ThunderKnight to safety Good. We need to find a safe place to rest for a while. Let's move quickly, but carefully.
