Dearly Beloved

Franklin stood in a sea black suits and dresses with his head down and a steady flow of tears rolling down his cheeks. He couldn't watch as the two coffins were reeled down into the hole in the ground. The choir sang their song, and the pastor spoke some final words. Franklin had chosen not to give a speech.

'If only I was with them,' he thought. He could have saved them.

	Mephisto was always one to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. Right now a very big one was presenting itself. A dark circle appeared in the air not far from Franklin. A face appeared in it. "Poor boy. Lost your mommy and daddy, have you? I can help you get them back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Franklin shot his look up and glared at Mephisto. His hand curled into a ball, and the hatred from years passed returned. But... "What do you mean?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can have them back," he said. "I bring them back for you, you do something for me. Quid pro quo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Under normal circumstances, Franklin would have turned away the moment Mephisto appeared. He may have even thought about starting a fight. But he was not under the normal circumstances. He was also fairly sure what Mephisto wanted. "And what would you want /if/ I agreed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A favor," he said. "Not right now. Down the line when I need something done. It won't be anything big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I..."

He hesitated. Everything told Franklin not to make a deal with Mephisto. It always cost more than it was worth. But... they were his parents. They were the only ones who were there for Franklin since he was born that could truly understand him. They were his family. Even with the hardships he faced with his powers, they were there for him. He couldn't let them go.

It was like when they almost died the last time, except now they were really gone.

"Wait," he said with a sudden realization. "No. No, Mephisto. I deny your offer. I don't need your help"

I can do it myself.

	"You don't want to see your parents again?" he asked. "I can bring them back. You can be a happy loving family again. All it would cost is a small favor in the future." Mephisto waved his hand and an image of Reed and Sue appeared in the air and shimmered a bit. "Look at them. Don't you miss them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I do miss them," he said as he hacked his brain, taking down locks with mental keys. There was a small glow in his eyes. "But I should have realized it before. I don't need your help to bring them back, Mephisto."

He didn't take all of them down yet, but he was getting closer to eliminating the mental blocks on his powers. To Hell with restraint. Franklin was getting ready to unleash everything he could to bring back his parents, and he wasn't going to owe any favors.

"I won't make a mistake! I know that I can bring them back, and I will!"

He brought his hands out and closed his eyes for a brief moment. When he opened them, they were glowing brightly. He didn't take the time tot hink about messing up. He knew he could bring them back, because he loved them with all of what he was. That kind of focus couldn't fail to achieve it's goal.

"Get lost, Mephisto!"
