Back to our present

Thomas watch had ringed he opened it quickly still in thought he answered it, it was from another great hero but from a different city "yes clover?" Thomas said "red Ace we need you in down town New York immediately!" Clover said Thomas sighed "I can't come my son has came to visit and if I come over it will only give another reason and a step closer for Mary to take away my rights as his parent." Thomas said clover sighed nodded "alright that's good for you even if it doesn't look like it your doing the right thing being with your son I'll have my sidekick be the temporary superhero here okay." Clover said.

Clover hung up Thomas closed his watch he Laid down and looked up he thought about Mary and what she had said "do I even love Mary anymore I don't think I'm okay with this I.... don't know one one hand if I do get back together with Mary the pros are I get to see Jake more they'll probably move from her moms house to here the cons are I'm not sure if I'm in love with her anymore while I'm the other if I'm not and if I don't date her I'll only see Jake from a Week to 3 weeks pros are well I would find myself nothing else the cons are I would have to quit my night job and I wouldn't see Jake for that long so basically the cons out weigh the pro what do I do?" Thomas said he sighed "Mr unicorn!" "Follow your heart and do what you do mister unicorn!" Jake said Thomas looked at him realizing he was only mumbling in his sleep "magister unicorn you taste like candy!" Jake said.

Thomas looked a bit worried he got up he dialed Mary's number a few minutes later she answered "this is Mary who is this?" Mary said Thomas sighed "hey Mary it's me thomas we need to talk." Thomas said Mary coughed "okay sure when you drop off Jake at preschool meet me at.... Acers coffee and breakfast." Mary said Thomas frowned "okay sure." Thomas said he immediately hung up he laid back down on the bed.

"I hope I'm doing the right thing." Thomas said Thomas started to go into a deep slumber dreaming of the day Mary and him broke up.

Flash back

"Thomas you can't go back out their think about Jake he's only 2 years old I don't want him to see you beaten!" Mary said Thomas stared at Mary rolling his eyes "this city needs me without me a superhero crime would rise up I would rather have my son being safe then him being dead!" Thomas said Mary glared at Thomas "well that's why my parents have offered for us to live with them at the farm house!" Mary said Thomas eyes glared at her Thomas became angered "I lived in this city since city since I was born I'm not abandoning it if you can't handle what I do then leave!" Thomas said.

Mary became surprised she started to cry "n-no what fine I hope you have a nice life I'm taking Jake with me." Mary said she immediately started packing she also packed jakes clothes Thomas was shocked he had never meant what he said but it was too late she had her mind set moments later she left.

Present time

Thomas woke up immediately shocked he breathed heavily he looked next to him and Jake was still there sleeping Thomas noticed Jake didn't have his stuffed bear Thomas saw that Jake was having a bit of a nightmare he looked for jakes stuffed bear Thomas found it minutes later on the floor he picked it up and placed it on jakes arm Jake hugged the bear he started to calm down thomas sighed he fell back to sleep.

RING RIMG RING

Thomas groaned, he looked at his watch and opened it, it had read The elemental he groaned once more before answering "Thomas Vancouver where the hell were you at the battle today!?" The elemental said Thomas sighed he didn't want to answer but he had too "so-sorry mentor Mary dropped off Jake So I had to watch him." Thomas said the elemental glared at him "Your a disappointment at least one of my students actually showed!" The elemental said Thomas glared back at him each thing that elemental said had got his blood boiling "your son is a no good bastard and I don't care if your hand is cut off you still come!" "Because of you half of the superhero's from 5 different states were beaten really badly!" The elemental said.

Thomas was close to the edge but he knows he has to keep his temper check or his power would go out of control "look I'm trying to be a good dad for once and so far I'm doing okay if I need to put off hero work to be a good dad then that's what I'll, do I'll do virtually anything to be a good dad." Thomas said the elemental nodded sighing "do you remember the reason why you became a hero well you had two but anyway the first was the make this city safer for children and others the second was for your child to grow up not having to worry about crime or having to worry about looking behind him everyday I guess you don't care about your reasons." The elemental said Thomas sigh he breathed in and out "I know but If I go out and do hero work it will give Mary another reason to remove my parental rights Jay!" Thomas said jay jumped back surprised "oh I didn't know you were that.... in too trouble okay fine your lucky clover is pushing me to do this I'll allow you to stay with your son and take a break from hero work while he stays but first thing he goes back home I want you fighting crime from all angles." Jay said.

Thomas smiled "okay thank you mentor I promise I'll get back to work first thing." Thomas said jay smiled and nodded "have a good day with your daughter." Jay said Thomas looked at him upset "I have a son not a daughter!" Thomas said jay froze he hung up instantly in embarrassment Thomas sighed.

Thomas looked behind him to his surprise Jake was gone thomas got worried he got up and left the room only to find 5, unknown people in his home with some kids a bit younger or the same age as Jake Thomas became angered "who let you people in!?" Thomas said everyone looked at Thomas wondering why he was yelling a figured that looked a bit like Jake jumped he looked on back of him sighing and looking guilty he got up "s-sorry daddy I had let them in." Jake said Thomas sighed "who in the right mind think it would be okay to let strangers in the house?" Thomas said everyone felt awkward Jake looked down feeling a bit more guilty then before.

One of the parents noticed, this and jumped in she patted Jake on the shoulder "and who in the right mind would yell at a child?!" "And didn't Mary tell you that our preschool is a homeschooling type thing we go too different houses we Would have gone to Mary's but she's too busy so she gave us the address for here and May I ask who the heck are you?!" She said Thomas blood boiled he pointed to the still opened door a sign had been there it had read numb 203 thomas Vancouver the girl shrugged "I'm his dad!" Thomas said Jake noticed that the room started to get a bit hot each time they argued "oh so your the homeless dad that Mary's been talking about I'm quite surprised you have a house." She said Thomas couldn't take the girls attitude anymore he finally broke "you want to know what my life is like fine it's dark and other shit but sure!" Jake backed up and covered his ears knowing that he should and it would only get hotter "Throughout my life I was told I was nothing hell even my parents told me I'm nothing at a age that I can't remember I was sold to get and pay my mothers and fathers debt a few years earlier my twin sister was too it took quite a few years before anyone was able to find me you wouldn't know what a person could do to a kid!" Thomas said.

Everyone was shocked by Thomas's story and on how hot it was "did somebody turn up the heat or is it getting hot in here." A girl had said everyone looked at her including Thomas grossed "I mean literally it's getting hot!" She said "oooh." Everyone said Thomas sighed "sorry my power is fire." Thomas said he started to cool down the room began to become colder everyone felt awkward from Thomas's story Thomas sighed "look sorry just tell me your names so I can know you better?" Thomas said everyone nodded smiling awkwardly.

"I'm Meghan Nieto my husband is Gregory Nieto and Were the parents of max." Meghan said the one who had questioned Thomas sighed she looked at Thomas straight in the eye with a upset look "hi I'm Madison Blanco my husbands currently not here due to work but his names Marco I'm the mother of Aaron." Madison said Thomas nodded "hi I'm Theresa.... Ramsey my husbands Cain he's here currently here We're the parents of Bella." Theresa said Thomas nodded sighing he looked at the last two people they looked a bit angrily "I'm Thalia Kane my husbands Luke Kane our child is Mave." Thalia said everyone festered to Thomas.

He understood several minutes later why he sighed again "my name is thomas Vancouver I am, the father of Jake frost my power is control over the elements I can create destroy and basically do anything with the elements like fire, water, air and earth I can control the sub elements too like lightning, ice, basically anything you can think of my limit is it's that my powers become unstable if I become too angry or any other feelings except for happiness, fear, or terror basically if I become too sad I freeze stuff I also bring down the temperature literally and if I'm too mad I make things hot." Thomas said everyone looked at Thomas wowed.

Thomas looked at his watch shocked at the time he looked up "I-I have to go." Thomas said he immediately started to walk towards the door Madison followed taking a longer sigh "did I make you feel uncomfortable in your own house?" Madison said Thomas looked at her half way opening the door he smiled at her "no I just have something important to do you see I have this new job recently so because of that today's my first day first day on the job and I don't want to be late." Thomas said Madison nodded smiling a bit "that's cool what's your job if you don't mind me asking?" Madison said Thomas smiled back chuckling a bit "I'm working in a news station slash magazine station I don't know what's my job yet I haven't been assigned I'm hoping I'm assigned to hero's news." Thomas said he exited the apartment.

He walked through multiple flights of stairs by the time he made it too, his car he had been a few minutes late he quickly drove and ran up he found the assignment room he entered he sat down immediately noticing a lot of people 'I do hope I get that hero magazine job so I can protect my friends identity and my own if anyone were to find out I'm Red Ace all my villains would come after me, Mary, and Jake I can't have my son looking behind him each time he walks home or to anywhere' when he noticed no one else was there thomas stood up and walked into the office he sat down he met the assigner a girl looks to be about the same age as Thomas.

Thomas noticed a necklace he grew curious as it had looked like the necklace with the picture inside he ignored his curiosity "Hello mister..... Thomas Vancouver I hope I haven't kept you waiting?" She said Thomas smiled "you haven't kept me waiting I'm actually very patient." Thomas said the girl smiled "thank god anyway my name is Vivian me and my boss have decided to put you in neutral news your first assignment is to see over the vaults in downtown you'll be uncovering their dark or any secrets." Vivian said Thomas jumped a bit surprised frowning he looked at her "okay miss Vivian." Thomas said he immediately got up and left unknowing the assignors true personality He immediately went to the office area and sat down at his desk he sighed deeply.
