@thedadsquad​ Feral Jack for Grandpa Allen 
Adjusting to life on the island was...hard. Being picked up off of the streets by a man whose business was being threatened by his father poking around didn’t bode well for most kids. 
Jack wasn’t most kids. 
He’s proven that, and whatever hope he dared to have at knowing his father now knew about him, it was eclipsed by the cold reservation of what he’s come to know as reality. So it came with a great shock to him that he was...accepted. 
The whiplash was nearly nauseating of how he went from no one seeming to see him and ignoring him, to having adults caring too much about his well being. It’s triggered his fight or flight response a few times. Causing him to run away and in one panicked attack, even bite his dad when he got too close suddenly. 
It wasn’t hopeless. His father was determined. And had the help of his best friend Danny and also their new friend with strong bonds, Andie. Their kids Grace and Evan even became Jack’s friends. 
It was all...nice. He just wasn’t used to it. But they were patient. 
Which was more to be said to some of the bad guys his dad’s team goes after. First kidnapped attempt he wasn’t really the target, just her friend. Evan and he helped Grace escape and were rather a nightmare for the kidnappers before finding an old payphone to use and call 911. 
This time...he’d been on his own. He has fewer classes than his friends because of his upbringing and general disposition. Easing him into a normal life was a step by step thing. The problem with that is that routines can be learned...it was how he got kidnapped. 
He’s had a rather good streak lately. Finding outlets and trying hard to trust and build bonds with his new family. Didn’t mean all of his feral restlessness disappeared completely. It was just building up and the kidnapping just became his excuse to unleash the hell he felt inside. 
After he calm down and realized the chaos he was in, he tried to figure out where he was. He somewhat recognized the area. In the back of his mind he knew he should call for help...but he didn’t want to be questioned or bombarded with people. So instead he walked and walked until he reached the residence of one of Evan’s grandpas. 
He knocked on the door, and when someone opened, he was looking at the floor, still struggling with social norms and construct. “...may I use your bathroom, please? And then your phone?”

@sassandsnapshots continued from here 
Phe wanted to be scared....underneath it all he knew he was terrified, but seeing the blood, and feeling the aches he himself got from being blown away...all that adrenaline kept his fear at bay for now. 
He didn’t want to leave. Part of him convinced that he could be enough to help her. But he was powerless. Literally so. If Cass had been here she could have used her powers somehow. Created an ice fort or help get their mom out and not just stand around, frozen and useless. 
He felt his hot tears running down his face, and looked at his mom with desperation and some fear seeping through, “W-who do I get, mommy?”

“That is true, but he’s also scared of me so I have that going for me at least.”
Tumblr media
“You’re definitely my hero, just like your dad. I’m very glad that you and your sister didn’t inherit my allergy, cause that would have sucked big time. Can you imagine your poor dad having to manage the three of us if that was the case?”
“Well...you are very awesome. Scary but in the best way, like dad says.” 
Tumblr media
“He’d have dealt with it like a champ. Cos he loves us more than anything. I remember when I stopped eating anything with white chocolate because Cass learned that wasn’t really chocolate and felt lied to. Dad’s favorite was that white cookies and cream bar and he gave it up cos we didn’t like it...if we couldn’t all eat strawberries, he’d like...sniper any he sees fifty feet from the house.”

“I’m not going to say that you’re wrong, but it does make me reluctant to leave you with your Uncle Peter because I have no doubts he shares the same philosophy.”
“Uncle Peter’s fun though! And he’s my uncle, not my parent. It’s not his job to feed me healthy stuff. Saying he takes that seriously could be an oxymoron, but still.” 
Tumblr media
“And I go around eating all the strawberry sweets I find. To protect you! It’s part of my hero training basically.”

❝  i must have these abilities for a reason right?  ❞
❝  i don’t believe in that destiny bullshit.  but i do know i shouldn’t waste what i’ve been given.  ❞
❝  why does everyone expect me to be a hero just because i have some powers i didn’t ask for?  ❞
❝  they’re mine.  i get to decide what to do with them.  ❞
❝  i’m still a person!  they all look at me like i’m some intangible being who will save them.  i’m just one person.  ❞
❝  i can’t do this on my own.  i need help.  ❞
❝  i’m okay—  it just tires me out sometimes.  ❞
❝  get back!  i could hurt you.  ❞
❝  i could’ve killed you!  ❞
❝  i’m sorry…i didn’t mean for any of this to happen. ❞
❝  i was only trying to help.  ❞
❝  i tried to stay out of it but…you don’t understand what it’s like to have the ability to make things different.  it’s impossible to sit back and do nothing.  ❞
❝  i did nothing before and people died.  ❞
❝  last time i tried to help i just made shit worse.  ❞
❝  i thought this was a gift but all i do is hurt people.  ❞
❝  i can help—  let me help.  ❞
❝  i don’t want this anymore.  i just wanna be normal.  ❞

❝  please say something if you keep staring at me like i grew a second head i’m gonna throw up.  ❞
❝  i don’t know what or who i am without this.  ❞
❝  if i didn’t have my gifts,  no one would care about me.  ❞
❝  i’m not a hero.  i can just do things and sometimes i wish i couldn’t.  ❞
❝  i know to other people it’s like,  comic book type shit.  to me it’s just normal.  it’s like being able to smell and hear.  it’s just part of me and i just want other people to see it like that too.  ❞
the observer
❝  you have to stop,  you’re killing yourself!  ❞
❝  that’s enough.  ❞

❝  it must be an awful burden to bear such gifts.  ❞
❝  just because you can,  doesn’t mean it should have to be you.  ❞
❝  look—  i get it.  it’s a lot of responsibility and everyone always wants something from you.  but you have these gifts.  and we don’t.  and it’s real shitty to hear you complaining about it while the rest of us are powerless every time someone we love gets hurt.  ❞
❝  i’m not here to ask you for anything.  i just wanted to make sure you’re okay.  ❞
❝  you’re always trying to save everyone.  who takes care of you?  ❞
❝  i’m taking care of you because no one else does.  ❞
❝  you have to slow down and take care of yourself too.  if you run yourself into the ground then you’re not gonna be helping anyone.  ❞
❝  don’t be a fucking martyr.  the world can function without you for a day.  ❞
❝  stop showing off.  ❞
❝  that was really stupid of you.  but thanks for helping.  ❞
❝  i care about you.  not your abilities.  ❞

“Not because I was a mutant, no, but I have been discriminated against. I’m not entirely sure I should be telling you this story yet but I’m gonna do it anyway. A little bit before I lived at Professor Granddad’s school I lived with my Nana and Poppy. Grandpa Jamison was active duty at the time and I was badly hurt in the accident that killed Grandpa Jacob and Grandma Clarissa. I started out in a wheelchair and then eventually I had a cane once I healed and progressed enough to start walking again.”
She hated telling this story, talking about that time in her life, but it wasn’t like the kids weren’t going to hear about it eventually.
“Most of the people in town were nice enough, but there were plenty of people who looked down on me because I had a disability. It didn’t matter to them whether it was temporary or not, if I was in pain or not. All that mattered was that I was different and they didn’t like it. Most of it was name calling but there were other things. Things we’re not going to discuss right now because you’re still a little to young to hear it just yet.”
Phe listened and he felt his eyes burn with emotion as he heard. He felt the sparks of flames course through his veins that he had to take a very deep breath to keep from causing something from combusting. 
Part of him wanted to push and to pry...but while he was without his power, he was often told he had his mother’s Empathy. He didn’t want to fight for power and control. He wanted to fight for those who couldn’t. 
But...right now this wasn’t a battle. In response, he just hugged his mom tightly. “Thanks for trusting me with that story....and answering my question. I love you, you know that, right?”

“The only answer I’ve ever had is my own opinion. That is that it’ll never be enough, for mutants or for humans. There will always be a threat at the door to people just trying to live their lives not matter if they have powers or not. The thirst for power and superiority is a dangerous thing, and trying to make the perfect world is even more dangerous still.”
Tumblr media
“They’re made of tougher stuff than you think, kiddo. After all, they raised me, Auntie Wanda, Uncle Peter, and Uncle David and they’re still standing. When you’re ready, I know they’ll be willing to talk with you about some of the things they’ve seen.”
Through different documentaries he’s seen and books he’s read, he understands what his mom is saying. Still, it felt...wrong to hear that perfect world would be and probably should be, out of reach.
“Have you ever been discriminated because you’re a mutant?” Phe asked quietly. It was odd to think his parents had a life before they were born, but...that was simply fact. 
Tumblr media
“I think I owe Uncle David a stack of waffles. He was right about the whole powers thing. But...thanks, mom. I...I’ll think about how I want to approach them about this.”

Andie sighed softly, chewing on her bottom lip. “I don’t have a good answer for that, Phe. There’s been a lot that’s happened over the years, a lot that I can’t tell you just yet. I already know exactly what Grampneto is gonna tell you when you ask him, so make sure you talk to Professor Granddad about this two. Get both perspectives, you know?”
.
Tumblr media
“But you do have an answer?” Phe asked. His love of period dramas and history took more than a drastic turn after he delve into the topics of WWII. Part of what caused his powers to show themselves was the anger and pain he felt on behalf of his grandfather as he realized what the tattoo on his arm actually meant. 
His parents have never tried to hide things from him. They were just conscience of his age and tried to give him the answers that they thought he could handle. 
“I...I don’t think I can talk to them yet. I still don’t have the best control over my powers. With how I got them its an elephant in the room. With Professor Granddad, my thoughts would be so loud that he’d hear them even if he wasn’t trying to pry...I also don’t want to upset them by bringing up things that could be healed wounds...I just...I guess I’m just feeling confused. And guilty. Not everyone like us has a safe place. Not everyone like us has a family like ours. And that’s not fair.”

Erik could only smile. The twins, with their middle names honoring he and Charles, had been a huge blessing to them in their old age. Even more so because they didn’t have to deal with them, like another set of twins. Fecundity did seem to run in the family, somewhere.
“You’ll always make me proud, my boy. I am sure your powers will show up soon enough. Besides, sometimes it is better to wait, depending. You can ask your Uncle David about that.”
Hearing the words made him smile. Their family was made up of some of the most powerful and interesting people. Power came in different ways though. Since his mutant powers were taking time to show themselves, if they ever did, he did like to focus on his studies. 
He was, at least he likes to think, astute. So he had to ask, “Will it upset him if I do? Because if it does, I’d rather talk to him about other things. Like how amazing waffles are or have him help me find plot holes in my mischief schemes.”

“Any flavor pie in particular? Not strawberry though. Mama’s allergic, not gonna risk being around them.” Phe said and then smirked as he told his uncle, “Don’t worry, with my parents and grandpas, getting caught is kind of inevitable, but buying time’s the name of the game.”
“Also, if I give you my allowance, can you buy Eggos for me? Cass is Team Pancakes and has been freezing mine to the point that our toaster can cook em.”
