daddy please why u always leave me alone
he was trying to find your mom so he could keep you safe! he didn't want you to get hurt like last time...
sorry daddy i don’t know that 🥺🙏🙏🙏
Rex was sad... he felt terrible he had left SorbetMood by himself for so long. Rex wanted to hug SorbetMood, Rex picked up SorbetMood, Rex hugged him, Rex started to tear up. "I missed you son."
Who are you and where the hell did you come from!? You’re not Mom!
Rex takes a deep breath... Rex explains everything to SorbetMood. "I'm your dad. I've been looking for your mom for years. She's in trouble and I need your help."
Rex nods... he can see how scared SorbetMood is... Rex looks into SorbetMood's eyes, "it's ok baby. I'll protect you, I promise." Rex pulls out his gun. "There's no time for questions right now. We need to go."
"Come on son" Rex said as he starts walking away. He looks back to make sure SorbetMood is following, before turning back around and walking faster. "Hustle!"
hello?…oh my god I’m demented who the heck are you?…where’s my mom?
"Shhhh" Rex said, "you're safe for now. I'm Rex. Your mother asked me to look after you. We need to hurry and get somewhere safe..."
"Look...I don't know how much you know about what your mom has gotten herself involved in but let's just say she's mixed up with some really bad people. Bad people who want to hurt you." Rex looked down at the ground. "I know it's hard to believe, but I would never have put you in danger if I wasn't scared myself."
is mom ok…she better be okay or else you’re dead!
Rex feels bad for SorbetMood, he knows how worried SorbetMood is. "We will find her... I promise. But first we need to make sure you're safe. Can you trust me? Can you do that for me?"
Rex sighs... "good enough for now." He leads SorbetMood through a series of dark alleyways and hidden corridors. Eventually they come to a large metal door. Rex knocks on the door three times. "Hey...Open up, it's Rex..."
The door opens and Rex quickly scans the room. "Go inside." The room is dark, it smells of damp carpet. There are old furniture scattered around. Rex quickly locks the door behind them... "Okay...you're safe here...for now"
Rex turns on a small lamp... it illuminates the room slightly. Rex walks over to a corner, where there is a small table with a radio on it. Rex turns the radio on and listens for a moment. A voice comes through the radio... "...We have her. If you want to see her again...give us what we want."
Rex grabs SorbetMood by the shoulders, he speaks in a hushed tone. "They have your mom. They want something from us. And they're not going to give her back until they get it."
THEN GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT!!
Rex looks into SorbetMood's eyes... he can see how scared SorbetMood is. "They want money...they want drugs...but most importantly...they want you." Rex hugs SorbetMood tight... "I won't let them hurt you son...I promise."
What do they want from me???
Rex sits SorbetMood down on a nearby chair. "They want you because you're special... Because you're different. They think you have powers, abilities that nobody else does." Rex's eyes light up, "and they're wrong. You're not a freak, you're amazing. You just need someone to show you how to use those powers... And that's where I come in."
Rex rummages through his pockets, pulling out a small silver ring. He puts it on SorbetMood's finger. "This ring... It's special. It's going to help you control your powers. You see, I've been studying for years. I know what you're capable of. You're not alone anymore son... you're never alone again."
Rex smiles... yes, Rex is SorbetMood's father. "I am... I'm proud to be your dad." Rex gets up off the floor, he walks to a nearby closet and opens it. He pulls out a leather jacket, "put this on. We have a lot to learn... and I'm going to teach you."
