Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 42)

*Next Morning*

Ozzy: *turns over in his sleep and cuddles a bit, snoring softly*

Thrax: *leans back on the chair next to the bed, watching his son with a loving smile*

Ozzy: *yawns and sits up rubbing his eyes* Daddy?

Thrax: *gets to his feet* Morning baby. *lifts Ozzy into his arms, his eyes blood-shot*

Ozzy: Daddy? didn't you sleep? *hugs him*

Thrax: *hugs him* Couldn't sleep, sweetie. Too much on my mind at the moment.

Ozzy: *snuggles him*

Thrax: *gets Ozzy dressed and carries him into the kitchen* I better you're hungry aren't ya? *sets Ozzy next to the table*

Ozzy: *nods* Uh huh. *hugs him the whole time*

Thrax: *chuckles* Hopefully Drix has something you can eat. *searches the cupboards and fridge before finding oatmeal mix and honey* Here we go. *mixes the warm oatmeal and honey in a bowl then brings it to Ozzy.* Breakfast's ready, angel. *ties a bib on Ozzy and lifts a spoonful of oatmeal to his mouth*

Ozzy: *opens his mouth and eats it*

Thrax: *continues feeding Ozzy* You're doing well, baby.

Ozzy: only cause I'm with you. *cuddles him and continues to eat the oatmeal*

Thrax: *chuckles and allows Ozzy to finish before wiping his mouth clean*

Ozzy: *snuggles* Did you call about your job?

Thrax: *sighs* No and I don't think I will. *holds him close, lifting him up and walks into the living room*

Ozzy: *softly* why?

Thrax: *sits down on the couch* I can't show my face there, not after what happened. *nuzzles him*

Ozzy: *softly* You could at least call.

Thrax: *lays his head back * Don't think I can, angel. *cuddles Ozzy close before turning on the news*

*On the news is a story dealing with what happened, and he turn sit on just in time to hear about some of the outcry surrounding the trials against the cells that attacked him. It would seem that few cells hold a grudge against Thrax, few even know what the virus that nearly killed their host look like and many wish to know why the offenders against the family of one of their more beloved officers are not being punished more severely*

Thrax: *whistles* Yesh. Things are really taking quite a turn. *nuzzles Ozzy lightly*

*there are some that don't care and of course there are always a few who support the bad guys but for the most part the general opinion is outrage... people are pissed*

Thrax: *turns it off and growls* Why are I not surprised about all of this. *sighs, massaging his forehead*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him back a little* I'm not either

Thrax: *rubs his back* I'm sorry to say this sweetie, but this city has one of the worst justice systems I've seen.

Ozzy: Yeah well... You can thank ex mayor douschbag for that.. Colonic's starting to get it in order though.

Thrax: *lightly chuckles but sighs* But not enough and I don't wish to lose you. *kisses him*

Ozzy: *softly* Me neither... *nuzzles him* I really really really don't wanna be without you...

Thrax: *whispers* Nor do I, baby.

Ozzy: *clings tightly to him*

Thrax: *cradles Ozzy in his arms, softly cooing to him*

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly, nuzzling and cooing back softly, he does that a lot lately*

Thrax: *gently strokes Ozzy under the chin*

Ozzy: *lifts his chin a bit and smiles*

Thrax: *chuckles* My sweet little baby.

Ozzy: *smiles* I'm feeling a little stronger.

Thrax: *smiles, kissing him*

Ozzy: *kisses him back on the cheek and hugs him tight*

Thrax: *smiles* I promise you I'll do everything I can to stay with you, my angel.

Ozzy: me too. *nuzzles and smiles softly* I like it when you call me that.

Thrax: I wouldn't call you anything else, baby. *purrs*

Ozzy: *grins, being playful* You just did call me something else.

Thrax: *chuckles but holds back from tickling Ozzy, fearing he may hurt him*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek and laughs softly*

Thrax: *nuzzles him, never wishing to let him go again but what he saw on the news has him struck with fear*

*Thrax's cell rings*

Thrax: Who the-? *answers it* Hello?. . . Leah?. . . What?. . . How can they-?. . .I understand.. . . . Of course. . . Alright, thanks anyway. . .Goodbye. *hangs up.*

Ozzy: What's that?

Thrax: *sighs* That was Leah. She found out what's happening to those cells. *groans placing his hand on his forehead*

Ozzy: And?

Thrax: They're- they're- *swallows* They're being released. *backs down into tears*

Ozzy: *blinks and hugs him tightly*

Thrax: *holds him close* After all that has happened. After all that they've done. They've be released without so much as a second glance.

Ozzy: Ugh... you're kidding me.

Thrax: *holds him tight* I wish is was a joke, angel. Frank, I wish it was.

Ozzy: ... I'm not leaving you.. *nuzzles him*

Thrax: *eyes slight flash red* And I am not going down without a fight. *nuzzles Ozzy gently*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek*

Thrax: *kisses him back on the forehead* I made a promise never to leave you and I will keep that promise, my baby boy.

Ozzy: I believe you. *nuzzles him*

Thrax: *sighs leaning back, there's too much to take in*

*Old memories of Thrax's take over his mind as relives his family's demise over and over. Every scream, every face floats around in his mind.*:

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly and nuzzles him* daddy?

Thrax: *snaps back to reality* Wha-? *looks at Ozzy* Sorry angel, just old memories.

Ozzy: *hugs him back* Are you ok?:

Thrax: *wraps his arms round him* I'm fine, baby. *softly purrs to Ozzy*

Ozzy: *kisses him on the cheek and nods, snuggling*

Thrax: *lays across the couch, resting Ozzy on his chest*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him, knowing his father is upset and begins to hum softly, the same lullaby Thrax sings to him*

Thrax: *smiles at him and kisses him*

Ozzy: *smiles* did it work.

Thrax: *lays back with his eyes half closed as he starts whispering an old lullaby in his native tongue*

Ozzy: *listens to the lullaby and smiles softly*

Voices: *from outside* Death to the Viruses.

Thrax: *quickly sits up and peeks out the window*

*a group on cells are in the street, shouting 'death to the viruses, free our heroes' as they walk up the street and disappear*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him*

Thrax: *holds Ozzy close as he quickly closes the curtain, his hands shaking and runs into the guest room, bolting the door*

Ozzy: *softly* Daddy please don’t be afraid..

Thrax: *clutches him tight, shaking* They walk free. They will hurt us. Hurt you.

Ozzy: *hugs him tightly* We'll be ok.

Thrax: *still shakes uncontrollably, muttering*

Ozzy: *clings tightly to him, nuzzling*

Thrax: *holds Ozzy to his chest not wishing to let him go, ever*

Drix: *knocks on the door*

Thrax: *nearly jumps out of his skin as he hears the door but unlocks it and creeps it open slightly*

Drix: it's just me. Are you alright?

Thrax: *shakenly* N-no-not r-re-really.

Drix: Can I come in?

Thrax: *nods. opening the door wider ands steps back*

Drix: *steps in and places a hand on his shoulder

Thrax: *hugs Ozzy close, his body still trembling as he sits down on the bed.*

Drix: *sits next to the trembling Virus and rubs his shoulders*

Thrax: *whispers* They're free.

Drix: I know... *had seen them outside *

Thrax *continues to shake* After all they did. After the harm they've caused. They're free.

Drix: *rubs h s back still, frowning, he hopes they won't cause them much trouble and this will all blow over soon*

Thrax: *his body tenses, his eyes glazed as he looks at Ozzy then lays him on the bed as he's shaking too much to hold him*

Ozzy: *worried leans against him*

Drix: *rubs Thrax's arms and holds him*

Thrax: *memories rotate in his mind, muttering* Just like before. It's happening just like before.

Drix: easy now... it's ok... it's ok... *he rubs his back, he knows Ozzy is worried seeing Thrax like this but he thinks it best if the virus is allowed to let it out.*

Thrax: *keeps muttering* My family. . .murdered. . .those cell called heroes for killing innocence,

Drix: *begins to rock him, rubbing his back*

Thrax: *keeps muttering his torments, paying no heed to the cold pill*

Drix: *lets him, simply rocking and holding him*

Thrax: *relives the memory of when his own mother was attack and injured during a fight with white blood cells trying to protect him, her shouts, her screams echo through his mind causing him to foam at the mouth*

Drix: *places a hand to the back of his head and carries him from the room, assuring Ozzy that he will be alright and brings Thrax into his own room, sitting with him and trying to comfort him while at the same time letting him get out his emotions*

Thrax: *swallows, hearing the sick laughter in his head* They're not cells they are monsters. Heartless monsters.

Drix: *holds Thrax's head gently to his shoulder, taking great care not to make him feel restrained, tears forming in his eyes* I know Thrax.. I know..

Thrax: *his eyes roll to the back of his head before he passes out*

Drix: *picks Thrax up and hugs him close before carrying him back to the guest room, assuring the distressed cell that Thrax is ok before picking him up himself to care for him till Thrax wakes*

Thrax: *groans, slightly opening his eyes* Dammit these attacks are getting worse. *sits up and massages his temples* *looks around* Where are they? *climbs out of bed and heads to the living room*

Drix: * is in the living room with Ozzy, whom is trembling*

Thrax: *enters and sees the two of them, clearing his throat*

Ozzy: *looks up* Daddy!

Drix: *lets out a sigh of relief and stands, immediately handing Ozzy to him*

Thrax: *takes Ozzy in his arms, cradling him* Hey, baby. *kisses him then looks at Drix* How long have I been out?

Drix: A couple of hours.

Ozzy: *cuddles close to him, nuzzling*

Drix: *gently* I promise I took care of Ozzy while you were out... I didn't put him down for a moment.

Thrax: Thank you. *gives Ozzy a kiss* Though I feel as if I been dipped in that alcohol again. *massages his forehead*

Drix: Would you like something for it?

Thrax: *holds his hand up* I'll be fine. Thanks anyway.

Drix: *nods* Let me get you something to drink. *heads to the kitchen*

Thrax: *sits down on the couch, cradling Ozzy close*

Ozzy: *hugs him tight and cries softly*

Thrax: *rubs his back* C'mon now baby, it's okay now. Sshh.:

Ozzy: *nuzzles him*

Ozzy: *softly* I'm wet... I couldn't hold it...

Thrax: *smiles* C'mon then. *carries Ozzy into the bedroom and changes him into a dry diaper* There you go, angel. *lifts him up, softly cooing to him*

Ozzy: *softly* are you alright daddy?

Thrax: *nod slowly* Yeah, just a bit of a breakdown that's all.

Ozzy: *sniffs softly and clings to him tight*

Thrax: *holds him close beginning to hum to him*

Ozzy: *sniffles softly and nuzzles him, calmer now*

Thrax: *still hums to him, stroking his hair*

Ozzy: *sighs happily and cuddles closer to him, burying his face in his shoulder*

Thrax: *has a relieved smile on his face as he cuddles his son close*

Ozzy: *takes his thumb out of his mouth and hugs Thrax around the waist, cuddling* Mmm... Y'know... you're really really cuddly daddy... specially when you purr... it's nice...

Thrax: *nuzzles him* Thank you, baby.

Ozzy: *cuddling, rests his head on his shoulder* you're ok now though right?

Thrax: *nods* Just in shock that's all.

Ozzy: me too.. *hugs him*

Thrax: *sighs, holding Ozzy close* Things are just a mess now.

Ozzy: *nods* Uh huh..

Thrax: I just don't know what to do.

Ozzy: me neither... right now.. maybe we should just wait?

Thrax: Until what? Til they find us? I can't risk dragging you into this, my precious baby. *kisses him*

Ozzy: what else can we do?

Thrax: *sighs* I'm not sure, angel. With everything that is happening it would be safer if I turned myself in.

Ozzy: *tightens his grip on him*

Thrax: *holds him close, tears forming in his eyes* I don't know what else to do. I don't wish for you to be harmed.

Ozzy: *softly* I don't want anything to happen to you either.

Thrax: *chokes back his sobs as he cradles Ozzy in his arms*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him, tears streaking his own cheeks, he doesn't want their family broken up, he's happy.. happy for the first time since ever*

Thrax: *rubs his back trying to calm his son down but the dread is still there*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him, still holding on tightly*

Thrax: *slips off his jacket and shirt then holds Ozzy to his bare chest, quietly purring*

Ozzy: *seems more soothed by the contact with his bare skin and relaxes, his eyes starting to close*

Thrax: *begins softly singing to Ozzy, trying to keep his voice calm*

Ozzy: *nuzzles under his chin, listening to his singing.

*loud banging is heard at the door causing Thrax to stop*

Thrax: *bolts up, breathing heavily as he clutches Ozzy close before darting into the guest room*

Drix: *answers the door*

*the ring leader of the cell support group is standing there with a scowl on his face*

Drix: Leave now. You aren't welcome here.

Leader: *blocks the doorway* I come beseeching you, Drixo Benzo Methamphetamine to help us with those viral scum.

Drix: You know nothing about what's going on... and you have no idea to come here to my home like this. Leave.

Leader: So are you saying you support those things like that fool Osmosis Jones?

Thrax: *hears the leader's words and begins shaking fiercely*

Drix: I 'm saying I want you to leave now.

Ozzy: *clings tightly to Thrax*

Leader: *folds his arms* You've now betrayed the City of Frank by siding with those freaks and mark my words if I find them *leans in* I make sure that the leading male watches me make that pathetic excuse for a cop *whispers* suffer. *he turns and leaves*

Thrax: *tries his best not to throw up after hearing what that guy said, tightly holding Ozzy in fear*

Drix: *narrows his eyes* Get out.

Ozzy: *hears it as well and clings tightly to Thrax, trembling*

Leader: *snorts and walks away*

Drix: *shuts the door* In all honesty Thrax... I think perhaps you and your parents should get together and go 'hunting'...

Thrax: *looks towards him* Are you nuts? The last we need is more trouble even if we kill with stealth.

Drix: I'm sure it can be done... legally even... just a moment... *goes to get some legal books*

Thrax: *sets Ozzy on the couch before running to the bathroom and throws up his stomach contains*

Drix: *sits with Ozzy and tends to him gently*

Thrax: *comes back* Oh Frank, I don't think I'll able to eat again. *covers his mouth*

Drix: *places a hand on Thrax's shoulder, there's something in his eyes that hasn't been there before, he will protect his friends no matter what it means doing*

Thrax: *sits down on the couch, gently stroking Ozzy's hair*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him, sniffling softly*

Thrax: *takes Ozzy in arms, cradling and cooing to him before turns to Drix* I don't know how much more I can take., Drix.

Drix: Nor do I... But I will do what I can to help you... I have some ideas

Thrax: Hopefully they'll help. I'm at the end of my rope Drix and I know my mother is going through the same thing.

Drix: *nods and squeezes his shoulder* I will make sure everything turns out alright.

Thrax: *lays back, holding Ozzy to his chest* Here's hoping, Drix. *doses a bit*

Drix: *continues to rub Thrax's shoulder*

Thrax: *sighs and whispers* I just wish for this nightmare to end.

Ozzy: *softly* Me too... *clings to him*

Thrax: *hugs him tight, whispering* /I'll there for you, always and always.//I'll be there. Always./ *gently rocks him in his arms*

Ozzy: *tries to keep his eyes open however as always when Thrax sings to him it's a losing battle and he starts to go to sleep*

Thrax: *begins humming the lullaby, hoping it’ll ease both Ozzy and him*

Ozzy: *sucks his thumb, one hand clinging to him and the other with his thumb in his mouth.

Thrax: *softly stroke his hair, whispering to him* I'm here, baby. Now and forever.

Drix: *sits in the living room with a legal book*

Thrax: *continues rocking Ozzy as he looks to Drix* Find anything?

Drix: *nods* I think so actually.

Thrax: Think it could help?

Drix: *nods* Heh it could actually legally allow you to kill them to if need be.

Thrax: How so? I mean isn't it risky?

Drix: Yes of course.. however... Hmm... let me see. *he flips through the pages*

Thrax: *keeps rocking Ozzy* Well?

Drix: alright I’m looking at viral specific laws... including laws written to protect the rights of none infectious viruses residing in frank.

Thrax: *arches a brow* When did such laws come to pass?

Drix: Well they've been active for a while... ever since the start of the VPP

Thrax: *nods* I understand. *but still has doubts about the whole thing*

Drix: Hmm...

Thrax: *doesn't look at him, his thoughts are on Ozzy*

Drix: ha! *nods* You have the right to kill in protection of your family...it almost always only applies if they attack first... however if you know an organism to be hostile toward you without your having made a hostile action toward them personally then you have the right to kill them if they threaten you or your family.

Thrax: Trust me, before that whole record thing I always attacked because someone was threatening my family and loved ones. *gently nuzzles Ozzy*:

Drix: well then.. you can do it now... and under the law.. .they have already threatened you and your family.

Thrax: *quietly growls * Try tellin' that to the rest of this city.

Drix; It may be necessary to make this law known to the general public.

Thrax: That's the FPD's department, but I don't think they'll listen. *shakes his head*

Drix: The Chief will.

Thrax: *sighs* I'm not holding my breath. *holds Ozzy close to him, softly purring*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him in his sleep letting out a soft coo*

Thrax: smiles lovingly at his son, his fears and doubts just melt away*

Ozzy: *breathes softly, cuddling up close ,sleeping peacefully*

Thrax: *gently rubs his back, holding him close to his chest.*

Ozzy: *snuggles close and it soon seems as if someone needs a change.*

Thrax: *shakes his head amused as he carries Ozzy into the bedroom and changes him in a clean diaper* There you go, baby. *gently rubs Ozzy's stomach before lifting him up into his arms*
