22.Im Your What Now?

The lightning in Erick's eyes faded away as he felt the power inside of leave as he looked at the woman standing in front of him as he abruptly blurted

"I'm your what now!?"

His torn suit reverted back to some normal clothes he wore before he arrived here on this Earth, as everyone in the room looked just as shocked as he was

As Sif took a step closer to Erick, reaching out to him but he immediately took a step back from her not feeling comfortable about this whatsoever

Sif:Please just let me explain, Erick I assure you that I am your mother..

Power Girl stepped between Erick and Sif as the Asgardian warrior tensed up a bit, she knew how strong Kryptonians were so getting on her bad side wasn't something she was planning on doing right now

Power Girl:*looks at Erick* Maybe you should give her a chance, she deserves at least that..

Erick's untrusted gaze set upon Power Girl's as his eyes and gaze softened as he nodded

"Okay..okay, your right she deserves the benefit of the doubt..it wouldn't be fair for me to do something dumb for no reason"

Power Girl nods in agreement as she stands next to Erick as she takes a quick glance at Jesse and Morgan checking to see if they're okay from the recent attack from Black Adam, she could tell that they were still recovering as she whispered to Erick

Power Girl:Hey im going to get Jesse and Morgan some medical help..

She smiled lightly at Erick as he smiled back at her as Power Girl gestured for her two friends to follow her out but before she left with them, she turned around and kissed Erick on the cheek as she brushed a strand of her hair away

Power Girl:Thank you for helping us..and thank you for helping me..

She holds Erick's hand as the two touch foreheads as the two close their eyes and enjoy this small moment between each other

"You didn't have to do that you know.."

He says referring to the kiss on the cheek, not that he was complaining about it..

Power Girl:I know..but I wanted too..

Her hands slip away Erick's grasp as Morgan and Jesse wave goodbye to Erick, wishing him luck as Power Girl takes one last look at Erick before walking out of the room leading only Sif and Erick all by themselves

Sif:She seems to care alot about you, despite only knowing you for a short time..

Erick rubs his hand as he looks at where Power Girl stood

"Yeah..she does.."

Sif could see the look of Erick's face, she knew that look..he wanted to have someone special in his life but he was too afraid to make it happen

Sif:With all due respect..she would make a good significant other; Asgardian's and Kryptonians tend to live for a very long time under the right circumstances..

Erick raises an eyebrow hearing that last part, if that was true then meaning basically almost anyone he knew would be dead..

And yet his mind drifted to Kara Danvers, she was Kryptonian but..but he wasn't sure what was going on between them; was it meant to be something more? Or was it just two people connecting with each other that just so happen to have similar interests?

And how would their relationship even work if they ever did get together? He's from the future..she's from the past..they may be the same age right now in the past but in the future she'd be years ahead of him; and would they constantly see each other? So many questions ran through his mind..endless possibilities and circumstances were just surging throughout his brain

But he had to focus on what was in front of him and that was the woman who claimed to be his mother

"Okay that's good to know, but you said that you are my mother..how or why would you ever be with someone like

You hear the distasteful tone in Erick's voice, he didn't really like his father which was highly understandable considering what he's done to him in the past..

Sif:I didn't necessarily know he was a bad person..I was tricked, he used what humans call an image inducer

Erick was familiar with the technology, it could change your face and you could disguse yourself as practically anyone

Sif:I was in the middle of a battle with my friends and I was fatality wounded by the enemy, I thought it was my end but..he arrived and saved my life..he helped me recover and as time went on..

She shamefully rubs her shoulders as Erick could see the sadness in her eyes

Sif:I fell in love with him..or so I thought, we were together for over two years and I thought that I had finally met someone who I could trust and love with all of my heart..but when I told him I was pregnant with his child..

Her hands shivered as she remembers that day..she felt a cold chill rush through her spine

Sif:He showed me who he truly was underneath his mask..he used me..and I was the fool who fell for his trap, he admitted that he wasn't really in love me. I was just another pawn on his twisted game..a couple of months passed by and that's when you were born, Erick..

She takes a deep breath and smiles at her son

Sif:The moment I saw you..I knew that feeling every mother felt when they first looked into their child's eyes..I was happy, I didn't care that you were the son of a horrible man. I cared about you and not who your father was..

She walks up to Erick as he holds his hand and looks down at a scar on his wrist

Sif:I remember this..you fell trying to pick up Mjöllnir and for a brief second you actually were able to lift it but it was too heavy and you fell, I was so scared seeing you hurt..seeing you in pain..

You could Erick's tears just fall from his face as Sif softly caresses his cheek with her other hand as the smile on Sif's face changes into a frown

Sif:But then he came back..I didn't know why he did until it was too late, I searched everywhere for you..days turned into months, months to years..not even Hemidall could find you..

She lowers her head as you can hear the pain in her very voice

Sif:I was so angry and sad..I almost ended my own life because what he did to me..I didn't want to imagine my life without you; my own flesh and blood in it..I isolated myself from everyone I knew..praying for a sign that you were still alive..

She looks back up at a tearfully Erick as she wipes away his tears with her thumb

Sif:And I was given one, when you conquered death itself..I sensed your presence..I knew it to be true and I set out to find you *happily laughs* and now after all of these years..I finally found you, Erick..my brave and noble son..

The son and mother embrace into a long overdue hug as Erick held his mother tightly in his arms, he couldn't really explain it but he knew that she was telling the truth..he felt it deep down in his very soul, the woman in his arms was truly his mother..the way she talked to him, the way she looked at him..it was all there..
