Love and respect

Theo, the saints, and Emily were in the Black Warp chambers. 

A white room with patterned walls and ceilings. 

The saints had sweated off most of the fat- but they were still rounder than usual.

"You sure you didn't want to bring John with us?" Emily said.

Theo of course didn't say anything and just ran his fingers through the Holo control panel and put all the coordinates properly.

He was not in the best of moods, no.

"Let's go," He mumbled, standing on the warp portal. 

He didn't even meet John yet. And Voli wasn't around. In fact, he didn't run into any of his family today either. And he certainly didn't want to meet them.

Emily sighed and obliged. She wanted to complain but today- she just kept quiet. 

After all, Theo didn't have a father anymore…

But Emily didn't forget to squeeze Theo's hands. She didn't want him to forget that- no, he wasn't alone. She was there with him- always. 

Particles flew.
