Break Out
Keith sat in his cell with restraints and a device on his neck that prevented him from using his sonic scream. They took all of his equipment and locked it away in a safe. His dad was on his way to visit him, which wasn't something Keith looked forward to. Killing the Artist quickly became Keith's biggest regret. He had screwed over not only himself, but his entire family. How was he supposed to make this up to them? He didn't know, and he was just about ready to give up on everything.

	"What, no. That can't be true. He accepted Connor, and Connor is kinda like you. His mom isn't Mom. Dad would never just abandon you! There has to be some other reason." He couldn't accept his father being portrayed in that light. But even Keith didn't know the full story, so there wasn't much else he could say to defend his dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I wish there was, Keith, but I lived it. Oliver turned his back on me. My mother took care of me and made sure I had what I needed to live, but it was really just existing.

And then Slade came into the picture and he...he was good to me, Keith. Sometimes, I think he needed a son as much as I needed a father and he taught me not only /how/ to kill, but /why/." Robert says, reflecting on what Slade meant to him.

"I spent a lot of time wandering the world after they left me on my own. I've lived hand-to-mouth my whole life, but I learned how to be /good/ at it. It was only recently, meeting Jane, then Mia, and now you, that I learned there's a bit more to it." Robert says.

Keith stays silent. He doesn't like that Robert thinks that way about their father. He doesn't like that Robert put Slade up as a good father figure. He doesn't like that he doesn't know why Dad never mentioned anything about Robert. He wants to believe that Robert's mom is a liar. He wants to believe it's all Robert's mom's fault.

But he can't say that. He wouldn't dare say that. Not after all that Robert has done for him. This was the only person Keith could currently rely on and trust. No way was he ready to screw that up.

So he just kept silent and waited for the ride to end.
