Learning to Become Heroes
Dolemeck quietly walked about the new apartment he shared with Derek. His parents advised him to move in with his cousin to a bigger place, as they feared him being alone as he battled severe depression. With his arm and hands still bandaged up, Dolemeck looked out the window of their new home. He really had no drive to go out today, much less eat. He was starting to get skinny from his lack of an appetite and Derek was calling him on it.

His green eyes looked over at Derek. He wondered if he was still mad at him for killing two goons and nearly killing another villain on their search for the swords. He decided against saying anything and just shoved his hands in his bathrobe. Just as he tried to sulk back into his bedroom, there was a loud knock at their front door.

"I'll get it", Dolemeck spoke quietly as he walked towards the door and took a peek in the peep hole. He paled, even more than he already was at who it was. Dolemeck quickly opened their front door after removing the locks, and stared up at the person who stood before him.

"Uncle Ken... what a... surprise?"

	Ken nodded. "Okay, good. Knowing your limits is important. And knowin' the limits of the people under your command is even more important. Even if you sometimes have to order 'em into hell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. And I didn't do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You didn't," Ken agreed. "And next time, you'll know better." "And you, Dole, you've come a long way. But the world don't work by the same rules anymore, anymore than it does for me and Jimmy and the rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aye, Sir." He nodded his head, his eyes somewhat focused on looking at the corner of the apartment. "It has just been a hard transition for me. Not that it is an excuse, but my mind had slipped back to what I had known. Enough that I was speaking my native tongue for quite sometime. In retrospect, I should have stayed behind and urged Derek to call Atlas, but my mind... Uncle Ken, it felt torn between the world I had once known, and the present. I am terribly sorry for my actions, as they upset Derek."

	"You oughta talk to Jimmy or Namora or one of them sometime," Ken said. "Plenty of folks out there who ain't exactly comfortable on account of bein' stuck in the wrong era. Get your head on it a little better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am currently in therapy with Doctor Samson to try and "get my head on straight", Uncle Ken. It was a request that my adoptive parents and Uncle Jimmy made of me." he sighed. "But I will talk with Aunt Namora the next time I see her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Derek smiles at Dolemecks desire to talk with Mom. and the whole "stuck in the wrong era" thing was one of the things that he knew drew Mom and Dad together. Granted, there was no time lost person within the team his age now, but it made Derek happy that his cousin had those who he could relate to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good," Ken said. "You two got a lot of potential... if you live long enough to reach it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2013-05-25 04:48 am UTC (link)
	This bit surprised Derek. "I don't understand. I almost got the both of us killed!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, Uncle Ken." Dolemeck's tone of voice went quiet again as he walked towards the window of the apartment, just staring out of it. what did he mean "If they lived long enough to reach it"? Did he know that he had a personal death wish? Whatever Ken meant, Dolemeck did not question it and continued to look out of the window, letting his mind drift. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you think Jimmy didn't? Or me?" Ken asked. "We all screw up, Derek. And sometimes, the fallout's a lot worse than this. So long as you don't make the same mistakes... that's progress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2013-05-26 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I-" Derek wanted to object. He wanted to show his uncle just how much he had screwed up, and take what was coming to him. But what was said? Not what Derek was expecting. "-I still don't think I did well. but I won't do that again. So I suppose I'm making progress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Bloody hell! You did fine, Derek! I am the one who screwed up. We both learned, we will improve if there is a next time." Dolemeck's tongue slipped back into Old English. He was having issues with that, but trying his best to speak everyday, regular English. "You are making progress young Khan, more than you know. I wish I could say the same for me."

He started to sink into the shadows before them, but not fast enough, in case someone wished to stop him.
