Rest, Recovery, and Hero Talk
Dolemeck was encouraged to take two weeks off of work from his boss, after suffering a gun shot to his shoulder. At the hospital he was told how lucky he was that the bullet did not sever an artery in his shoulder, and that he did not bleed out. He also was hit on a bit by a few nurses who saw him without a shirt on, much to his shock and discomfort. he was happy when he was discharged and told to get plenty of bed rest and keep the would clean and bandaged properly. As he would have issues with changing his own bandages, he agreed to stay with Derek in his apartment and be cared for until he no longer needed to bandage and clean his wounds.

It had been a few days since he had been shot, and Derek had to explain to him about guns, bad people, and that Dolemeck should probably tell his parents what had happened. Dolemeck took these lessons to heart, but refused to call Bob and Venus up, feeling ashamed that he got hurt on his first day of work.

"Derek, I do not know how to thank you for such kindness." Dolemeck smiled, hissing as he held on to his shoulder while laying down on the couch in his cousin's apartment. "But we must talk. I wish to talk about us becoming heroes. I feel as though this is our fate... that or what I am feeling is that medicine that the doctors prescribed for me for the pain."

	Derek hadn't been focusing like he had earlier, so this flash of memory goes by without direct observation, but with the headband still on Derek can feel that something is up. "Dolemeck? Can you hear me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

His mind was showing "flashes" of images to Derek if he looked with his headband. Most were images from a different time period, all in first person and not third. Images of Knights, common folk, a Princess, a King. But none of it made sense or seemed to connect in any way. It was almost as though someone turned the TV on in Dolemeck's mind and failed to tune the channel properly.

"..." He remained still and unresponsive to Derek. It was as though he were trapped in time.

	Well, this was creepy. "Dude? Dude, you gotta wake up, man! Hey! Hey, Dole!" Derek is now really concerned. He doesn't want to poke in mentally, so he'll to the next best thing: he'll quickly move to the kitchen and grab a cup with water, intent on drenching his cousin to wake him up.

Dolemeck quickly came back to life, coughing and hacking after he had a cup of water thrown at him. His long black hair now looked like a river of ink going down his head and back. He looked bewildered, then calmed himself down once he realized he was in the same room as Derek.

"Oh, I am terribly sorry, Derek. I must have had one of those "flashes" again. I will get to making you something to eat right away!"

He smiled and headed for the kitchen, as if nothing had happened.

Derek has a face that was somewhere between confused, horrified, and bemused at the actions of his cousin. He really didn't know how to react to this whole thing. At all.

"Dude...you go off into lala-land and you're still gonna try and get me soup for my non-existent illness? Dude, get yourself taken care of first."

The second part is not said in a warning tone or a sarcastic one, but a genuinely concerned one.

"But I am fine, though." he turned to look at Derek, just as he was starting to cut up some vegetables to make a soup stock. "I have had these "flashes" for as long as I could remember. Well, since I became human at least. Mother was worried enough to have my Father take a good look at me. He said he could not make heads or tails of it, but deemed whatever it was it appeared to have no harm to me."

Once Dolemeck finished cutting up the vegetables, he placed them in the soup pot he had taken out, and then went to the fridge to cut up some chicken to put in there. He also searched the cabinets to toss some ginger into the pot as well.

"You are just as stubborn as your father sometimes, Derek."

	"Oh, I know I can be. I could even be more, because I'm certain that stubbornness is inborn in freaking Atlanteans!" Derek says this with aplomb...although his will is melted when he starts to smell the food. "Of course, I'm a sucker for a hot meal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Never have you been able to resist my cooking. Mother always said if I were to ever get married, my wife would be the luckiest woman in this world. I mean, I doubt most husbands can cook. And when I mean cook, I do not mean putting one of those ramen cups in the microwave." He grinned some. Dolemeck took pride in his cooking as he did with his books. While the soup stock was cooking, he began to make some noodles in another pot for the soup.

"And you speak truth. Even Auntie Namora can come off as prideful and stubborn. But you are not as bad." Dolemeck smiled, turning back to Derek, being very careful with his shoulder as he worked. "But those can be good traits. Especially for when you become the next Khan! And when you do, I shall continue to be in your service as I am now."

	"Well, thanks a lot for that, Dolemeck. I know I'm gonna need people who are loyal to me, so yeah," Derek said with a smile as he found a place to sit. "And what's wrong with my method of cooking? Just because I happen to think microwavable ramen is tasty doesn't mean I don't know how to cook! I just prefer that!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It is not healthy for you." Dolemeck gave him a look as he stirred the soup base for a bit. "You should eat more home cooked meals, as they would have less chemicals in them than that packaged ramen you buy."

He shook his head, putting the lid back on the pot and sitting across from Derek in the kitchen. The soup base would have to cook for a few more hours before he could put the noodles in and then make it a proper soup.

"Some may question my loyalty to you, as I am not direct family, and the fact I am a former demon." he spoke softly, playing with a cup that was on the table. "I have no motive not to be loyal to you. I have no desire to ride your coat tails to rise in status. You are my family, Derek, and true family will always be there for each other, yes? I want to be part of that. That is all I will ever ask you for."

"Look, you know what? I don't give a damn what any one of those folks have to say. I have an auntie who is a sea monster, three uncles that are, in order: a gorilla, a killer robot, and a Uranian. I also have several royal cousins and you. I don't give a damn what anyone says, you're loyal to the family. That's good enough to me."

Derek was trying to sound like he was putting his foot own. Which he was. But then he started chuckling.

"Jeez, that makes it sound like we're part of the mob or some crap."

"It does feel like one of those old movies you showed me. The one with the men known as "gangsters" and the "coppers" who bring them to justice." He began to smile once more, his arms across his chest as he sat back in his chair. It was rare for Dolemeck to relax like that in a chair. he always sat so prim and proper. "We're the sons of Atlas, and that says it all I believe."

His tone had been soft until now. Now Dolemeck just sounded like a child in a candy store as he looked over at Derek. "May we please go to the MET, Derek? They have the new "Arms and Armory" exhibit up, and I wish to see the armor and weapons of REAL knights and heroes. Just like in my books!"

"That sounds like a plan. it'd be interesting to see, for certain. But when it first opens it'll be a pain to get in. I'd wait for the crowd to drop down. Say, sometime next week?"

Derek also didn't like inconveniencing others in regards to wait, and he could easily get a private tour. That could easily be a nice surprise for Dolemeck later this week, though...

There is an evil part of him that is pleased by this idea.

"As you so wish, Derek. Being as you are wiser in how society works... I shall wait a week." Dolemeck almost pouted a little. He really wished to see that exhibit as soon as possible. He got up to go check on the soup, then back to his seat across the table from Derek. "I suppose in the meantime we can watch more movies. I am starting to like these "motion pictures" quite a bit."
