Oh, and he did.
It’s okay. It’s more…it’s more to prove to them what I am. I’m hoping they’ll run and never look back.
To prove it, Flynn waved his hand, and more glasses appeared, but this time, for them.
“You’re going to want to drink those,” he said, using Rinnon’s gifts to make them levitate toward them.
They gasped as they went right into their hands.
“I told you. I’m not your son anymore.”
His father kicked it back, and his mother just put the glass down, but they were both smart enough not to say shit.
Good for them.
When they heard the babies coming, toddling down the hallway in their footie pajamas, Flynn was ready.
At the doorway, he scooped them up, and immediately, they cuddled into his body.
Jacques, your little one needs to feed.
I’m tied up with something. Can you handle it? If not, give me a few.
Rinnon chimed in.
I can feed yours, Death. I have my child to feed too.
Thank you. I’ll get them later today before they settle in for a nap or bed.
The connection was closed off so they couldn’t figure out what he was doing, and there was no doubt he wanted it that way.
I want them to see what I am, Rinnon. Is there a way you can let me show them? I don’t want them thinking I’m the same man.
You can here in the cave. It’s my domain. If you want me to come out, I can. Only, Flynn, it will scare them. Is that the route you wish to take? That’s not like you.
In this case, it was.
Good. They need to be scared. This isn’t the world they left, and we don’t know why they are here.
He tried to reassure him.
Death said it was Jolie. She necromanced them. Again, they are your parents, Flynn. It wasn’t Fate. He said it was a spell, and that’s likely my fault. Don’t hate me. It was to make us invisible to Fate and her game.
He was curious.
I don’t hate you, but we’re sure it was Jolie? Shouldn’t you feel if this was Fate?
He would.
Yes. Death said it was Jolie, and I can’t feel Fate. I don’t think she’s aware this has happened. When she puts a name on the list, she is done. Only Death would know if the name disappeared, and he’s not telling her.
There was actual relief.
That helps. Thank you.
When it comes to your parents, do what you want. I won’t interfere.
It was rare Flynn let Rinnon out fully on this side. In the demon-y realm, he was free. Only, now, in the cave, did he want his parents to see what they were dealing with when it came to their‘son’.
