Troy return to his room, if you could call it that. He needed a minute to himself. This seamed to feel like the right spot to think. His mind was boggled and confused. He was trying to wrap his mind around the situation he woke up to. It felt like a dream still. Like he was still trapped in the dreamers land, where everything makes since yet is so backwards at the same second.
He saw his brother sleeping peacefully. Which was a nice change from earlier. He came here wishing for a miracle. He didn't think wishing on a star would work. His sister in law was roaming around the room. She was worried, hopeful and unusually talkative. She had a lot of questions and despite his years of college and medical school and internship…. he was lost in what was what was going on. Nothing seamed wrong they just came and changed his bag and added medication to the IV drip. He felt helpless and didn't like it one bit. All Troy could do is comfort her and listen. He felt normal and that was abnormal for him. He had to trust someone he didn't know.
Troy had so many answers and wanted to see this Chief. Was that man really his father? He seamed formula like a reoccurring face in the crowd. Or someone you feel like you should know but despite the familiar feeling. The are a stranger and you have no connection to. He had seen pictures of his father and he did have some similar features. In no way would Troy say, this man was what he remembered. Nor would he say he looked like him. Plastic surgery was a thing. It could be possible and the only way he would know for sure was a DNA test. No matter what he didn't stay. He gave him up.
Troy paced back and forth, after he finished straitened up the empty room. Troy was frustrated confused and he felt angry. Why was his brother here. What was all this!! was this a government operation. When where they going back home. What the heck was and who was that girl? How did he not remember her? Don't they say you always remember your first love? If that is so why didn't he remembered. Was that man his dad? Or has he been spying on him. It all leads back to that girl. That girl Jane, she was destroying his life.
Soon a knock came. It felt like hours and Troy had worked himself into a frenzy. A man walked into the room. He was well built and walked with confidence and comfort. He owned the place and that offered a since of control. Troy hated it, he felt challenged and he was already mad. This mad disrespectful demanded control. Troy crossed his arms to give himself comfort without realizing it. Troy was going to stand his ground. He wanted answers.
Russel started with a welcoming smile. It is nice to see you again Troy.
Again, again, this was the first time they where meeting and he was sure of that.
I know this is very uncomfortable for you. I would feel the same. The chief continued his lecture. I am sorry you had to find out about this. I tried to keep you out of it because i don't feel you have the stomach for it. You see my daughter has a rare talent. There is a team that protects even the knowledge of it. I have spent my life and others have lost theirs to protect this gift. You are thinking that healing is her power but it isn't. That is only a benefit.
You see what she has is greater then that. Jane can make a person excel to be the best they can be. Every person's brain is unique. Scientists have just tipped the iceberg. What we have witnessed is astounding. She somehow fixes the pathways to the best they can be. Giving people their greatest potential in a way. With that being said she can turn a person who is good at math to be able to be a mathematician in a short period of time. My point is she magnifies their greatest potential. A person can excel at everything eventually. Even their weaknesses because less of a struggle. Almost like a lightbulb is just turned on. There is a downside, all it does it changes their ability it doesn't change who they are.
Troy looked at the man. He decided to play along. The more answers he received the better. He had him in a place where he was talking openly. The shields where down he was going to take advantage of the situation.
Is that man really my father? Is that what happened to him he just outgrew his family. Or, did you take him from me? Troy surprised himself with the level of emotion that he felt when he asked.
Yes he is your father. He left when you where little because he has a huge heart. He wanted to protect you. Your Mother Ann, she couldn't come with him. He chose to go underground to protect you. He knew taking you away from her would hurt you nor then him leaving. I kept in touch with her over the years and helped out when i could. Your father is a brilliant scientist but i think a big part of that is because he is lonely and will never move on. Him seeing you again, will be the highlight of his life.
Troy was even more confused about how he felt about his father at this point. He moved in to the next question.
Who is that girl? Why do i recognize her?yet i can't remember her? Should i remember her? How is she healing my brother? Troy started to ramble he had so many questions and he started repeating himself.
Russel knew he had to tell the story. How was he going to take it. He knew not being open would only create issues. He still had a couple options he didn't want to do. They where for if he "Faked being ok" and went to the Authorities. Finally he decided to fallow his gut. He let him in on everything and it was going to shatter his world. The worst part was he was going to have to drop this atomic bomb and Ann was going to have to deal with the fallout.
