Extended Family!
Derek was someone who liked having a family, even if it were one of the most unusual families out there (although he had heard the Summers family was even crazier, but he didn't know them except through reputation), but even with the weirdness of his family it never seemed to be overwhelming. But it could sometimes be overwhelming for him. So here he was, about to introduce a cousin to another cousin.

Not that technically one cousin was actually an older nephew and the other an adopted demon form limbo who got a soul. But that's just a technicality. So here he was, knocking on Macs door with a good amount of takeout and waiting to hear from Dolemeck as to when he would be arriving.

	Dolemeck looked lost. Laws of the mortal/human world were always confusing to him. In this case, he had never been so confused before. His green eyes just went wide and he looked at his cousins, sipping his soda can and actually remaining silent for once. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That was the loophole, yes! They'd had to put up with the 'challengers' for weeks by that point, and were already getting pretty frustrated, but nothing they could do except arrest the ones that actually tried to attack him at home, while they were still on Canadian soil. But that got Bochs started scouring international law, and that's where he found it, in time to, y'know, prevent his parents from having gods-know-what done to them by a bunch of backstabbing courtiers."

And then Mac realizes, and smiles at Dolemeck. "Sorry, Dole. I'm also an auxillary corpsman... kind of cop, sometimes. So Bochs's crazy legal footwork to save his family really impressed me, but I know it's complicated."

"It is no trouble, Mac. Really! I am just beginning to learn the laws. I know the moral ones... but... not the ones you spoke of. Should I ever go to Atlantis, I would more than likely be lost... and I doubt very welcome." he chuckled as the soda bubbles got to his nose. "After-all, I cannot swim, and I would be a corpse by the time I reached the city. Not very fun at all I imagine!"

	"Wow. That's nuts, Mac. But it's good that it didn't lead to a full on war. I know Canada is a lot tougher and more badass than people give them credit for." Somehow knowing that the last three military sniper distance records had been held by Canadian soldiers came in handy! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. And even with that, one of the Alpha Flight girls ended up in traction. Poor Nim was so upset. But she healed up fine. And yeah, Dole, best you not come to Atlantis without the proper equipment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"So noted!" He had finished his can of soda, and then cracked open another and started to drink it down. Sweet foods were uncommon in his old world, so he sort of... indulged himself with sodas and candies once he discovered them. Though he was warned to be careful with his consumption, as it could lead to tooth loss. "Besides, I would have to learn to swim, first, before considering travel to Atlantis. Though I wonder if I can shadow port there..."

	"Ouch, in traction? That must have really sucked for her. It makes me wish that I had dealt with the Atlanteans more just so that I'd at least know the big details of the big crap I hear about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Between your Mom and Derek, I'm sure you can get some swimming lessons, Dole. And yeah, sucked, but she made a full recovery. You know Korra's joined up with Alpha Flight too, now." Quickly, to Dolemeck. "Korra and Nim are our second cousins; they're sisters, though Korra's not even Canadian. I'm glad they're sticking together, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I have not met them before. I was told I have a very large family, but I did not know how large." He was in shock over the thought of more cousins. He wondered what Korra and Nim were like.

The minute he heard "Alpha Flight", he knew that his female cousins were heroes like his male cousins, his uncles, his aunts, his Mother, and his Father. It gave him more of a drive to be like them. All of them in some way or another. But he did not know how to be a hero. he just knew he wanted to protect the things and people he loved so dearly.

Dolemeck appeared to be day dreaming now, still sipping his soda, and wondering what life as one of the Agents of Atlas or under his Cousin's rule would be like.

"It is a pretty big family. It's just that Atlas takes a lot of time and effort to run. It takes a lot for us and our parents that we don't get to spend as much time out as we would like, except when going around San Fransisco."

Derek felt kind of bad: he knew he had quite the extended family, but he didn't always get to spend much time out and about. This was among the longest amount of time he had spent away from Atlas business, and he's only spent time with a little bit of his family. He should fix that soon.

"Hey, totally understandable. And as for the rest of the family, well, you should totally meet Nim and Korra sometime, Dole, but you're going to need to brace yourself if you meet Namor. Now, let me be clear, he's a great king, and a great guy, and I love him and respect him, but, well, you're used to Grandmother, right? Derek's Mom, your Aunt Namora? Tough, fiercely intelligent, generally awesome?"

Dolemeck quickly returned to reality as he was asked a question. he placed his can of soda down and looked over at mac. "A-actually, I did not spend much time with Aunt Namora. She saw me once or twice when she was not attending to Atlas business and then would have words with my Mother and Father. I know not what she would tell them, but I respected that this was their time to talk.. But she would come out, pat me on the head, and go on her way."

He then placed a finger to his lips in thought. "Aunt Namora did bring me a seashell as a present once. She said it was a very special gift and to keep it with me. And I have. I have it in a display case in my apartment." He smiled fondly as he remembered the gift and the day he received it. "Aunt Namora said it was special, because it came from a creature so far down in the ocean, that most mortal beings like myself would never be able to see it."

	"Ah. Well, Grandmother's usually the best point of reference for explaining Namor. But that sounds very nice, Dole." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It truly is. I cherish that shell greatly, just like my stuffed bear Bobo." Dolemeck suddenly blinked. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. "It is almost ten o'clock. I should be going back to my home, now. I must go to sleep by eleven if I am to be rested enough to go out job hunting again. if I get a call that I have the job at the bookstore, then I will find something else to do with my time."

He had a smile on his face to show how grateful he was to his cousins. He stood up and shook Derek's hand, as well as Mac's.

"I thank you for your hospitality, Mac. It was most welcoming. And Derek, my brother, thank you for such a wonderful meal! Goodnight!"

With a wave, Dolemeck suddenly slipped into the shadows and just... disappeared. He left behind a one hundred dollar bill for Derek to cover his share of their dinner. Someone needed to talk to Dolemeck about how much money he should give and spend!
