Shawn: H...hello....so...Gabe.

Gabe: Father. It's been...quite a while. How's mom...oops...ment Raquel.

Shawn: Gabe....I...

Gabe: Stow it dad. Just keep it. I'm in the middle of something here.

Shawn: So...this must be Nikki.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:53 pm

Nikki glances between Gabe and Shawn.

Nikki: I remember seeing you at the wedding....

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:56 pm

Shawn: Yes, that's right. It's nice to see-

Gabe: Why are you in L.A. dad? You usually live in New York...far away.

Shawn: Raquel and I are....going on a trip.

Gabe: ...I see. Safe travels then. Come on Nikki...let's go.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:59 pm

Nikki nods to Gabe, then gives Shawn a narrow eyed look as they go.

Nikki: Well, that was rather awkward....

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:00 pm

Gabe helps Nikki into the car and hands her the food. He sits there for a long moment....gripping the steering wheel....tightly.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:05 pm

Nikki puts down the food and rubs Gabe's shoulders.

Nikki: Hey, it's alright... you don't have to worry about him any more. He's going his way and we're going ours, and they're both in different directions.

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:08 pm

It dawns on Nikki, while rubbing Gabe's shoulders...that...Gabe is really a monster. Six foot eight, two hundred and sixty pounds. Gabe slowly starts to calm himself when he sees the limo pull away....

Gabe: Yeah, I know hon...It's just....

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:10 pm

Nikki: It's just what?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:13 pm

Gabe: He hurt my mother...so badly...that she has to be on constant suicide watch. Outside of my Aunt...my mother was the strongest woman I knew. She...she even scared my Unc from time to time....

....and to see her...so....frail and...

Gabe exhales loudly, wanting not to cry...

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:16 pm

Nikki pulls him over to her in a hug.

Nikki: Hey now... maybe you can challenge him to a match and beat the shit out of him. He used to be a famous wrestler, right?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:25 pm

Gabe: You know...that's a thought...but...naw...

Gabe kisses Nikki on the forehead...

Gabe: You'll learn this when you become part of the family. We have a certain standard that's been set for us. We are warriors...not rabid animals. We defend our own...but we never feel the need to outright attack. It's...it's a slight on our history. Being the protector of the legacy, I'm the carrier of the family tradition. Alex being the legacy, is the family name. Both of us have to act in a certain manner...or we don't do justice to those who came before.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:25 pm

Nikki: Then what are you going to do about your dad?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:26 pm

Gabe: .....nothing.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:30 pm

Nikki: Nothing? Are you sure you're ok with that? I mean, I would think at least fighting him in a sanctioned match would be less rabid animal and more defending your mum's honor. If you were rabid you would have attacked him just now.

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 11:12 pm

Gabe: Yeah...you make a good point...but I know my dad. He'd just stand there...and...eugh...

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 11:13 pm

Nikki: No good if he doesn't fight back?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 11:14 pm

Gabe: No good.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 11:18 pm

Nikki nods.

Nikki: Enough about your dad then... we're out here to have a good time.

Cryonix Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:53 am

Gabe: You're right, hon. You're right. Well, come on...food's getting cold. Let's eat.

Pockets Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:54 am

Nikki: You're alright?

Cryonix Sun Jul 17, 2011 12:57 am

Gabe: I will be, honey. I will be.

Pockets Sun Jul 17, 2011 1:00 am

Nikki gets the food, but keeps physical contact with Gabe the entire time they eat.

Cryonix Sun Jul 17, 2011 1:07 am

Gabe: Heh...you're really worried about me huh? That stuff Unc said out in Chicago really bothered you, didn't it?

Pockets Sun Jul 17, 2011 1:08 am

Nikki: You mean the initiation?

Cryonix Sun Jul 17, 2011 1:10 am

Gabe: ...Yeah...
