Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 107)

*the hospital isn't crowd as much as it use to be*

Ozzy: *immediately finds out which room his neice is in and goes to her*

Amara: *was hooked up to several machines, including a feeding tube*

Ozzy: *hadn't realised that knee to her stomache had done so much damage* *holds her hand* oh honey... i'm so sorry...

Voice: It isn't your fault little brother, we shouldn't have sent her out.

Ozzy: *looks up at the voice* I shoudl hve taken her from him the moment I saw him bringing her in... I'm so sorry... It's all my fault...

K: *knealt next to him* Not your fault, never your fault.

Ozzy: *squeezing her hand gently* Is too...

*her husband, Azubuike, stood at the doorway with his hand over his heart*

Azubuike: You didn't know.

Ozzy: *softly* I knew he was a bastard that judges anyone with viral blood in them harshly...

K: But you couldn't prodict what he would do.

Ozzy: I should have.. *kisses his little neice on the forehead*I'm so sorry...

Azubuike: We're not blaming you but the one who put her here.

Ozzy: *looks up at him*

Azubuike: This isn't your fault, you couldn't have known.

Ozzy: *sniffles soflty*

K: *wraps her arms round Ozzy and holds him close*

Ozzy: *hugs her back tightly still blaming himself*

K: *strokes his hair lightly, nuzzling him*

Ozzy: *sobs softly into his sister's shoulder and looks slowly up at his brother in law. HIV viruses are one of the most tough and scary of all viruses, immunity is generally no match for them*

Azubuike: *softly smiled at him until his ears twitched and he looked round*

Ozzy:*rubbing his eyes* what is it?

*a group of doctors ran past, wheeling a preganat Spanish-Flu she-virus on a hospital bed with an oxegene mask on down the hall. Her husband stopped by the door, clearly out of breath.*

Azubuike: Antonio, what happened?

Antonio: *gasping for breathe* Attacked. *panted* Immunity.

Ozzy: *clenches his fists, damn it... he loves his job but his coworkers... what the hell is wrong with them!?* *after a moment the considers how supportive and compassionate a good number of his coworkers were when his neice was hurt adn as he looks at her hooked up to thsoe tubes he narrows his eyes* enough... I've had enough...

K: Ozzy?

*Azubuike and Antonio look at their brother-in-law.*

Ozzy: *turns to go back to the station* I'm not putting up with this anymore!

*The three watch him go and start to become really worried.*

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 106)

Ozzy: *meanwhile clocks in at work*

Drix: *smiled* Morning Ozzy.

Ozzy: Morning Drips. *chucles* What's up man?

Drix: *rolled his eyes* Not much, today may actually be peaceful for once.

Ozzy: Here's to hopin'. *has a cup of coffee*

*a groups of cops were gathereed round one of the desks, some sniggering could be heard from the rookie males*

*the older males cops and females officers didn't look pleased at the rookies 'amusement'*

Ozzy: *glances at them* do I even wanna know?

Anna: Trust me Jones, best if you don't. *she snarled at the male behind the desk*

Ozzy: *frowns* Why?

Rookie: *roared with laughter* Man Jones, I guess the top cop isn't all that.

Ozzy: *narrows his eyes at the rookie*

Anderson: And isn't the most faithful one. *he folds his arms*

*The rookie females snarl at him*

Ozzy: *glares then shrugs* Whatever... I do my job, I kee:p the body healthy and I sleep better for it. *sips his coffee*

Anderson: *looks at the photos* Not from what I see.

Johnston: *sniggered and leaNorthstar back on his chair* Face it Jones, you're truely weak.

Ozzy: *reaches over and snatches the pictures from him, for a moment tensing then keeps his cool and glares at him* So... What do these pictures show aside me walking with my adoptive father? Do they show me doing anything illegal? Harmful? No. Grow up kid.

Johnston: *smirked* Oh really? *he tossed several others on the desk. some were of his siblings and their familes, some were of Sapphre's family and the last few were of Ozzy's 'special time' with his dad* Face it Jones you're nothing but a weakling and a traitor. *he laughed*

Drix: *stared at the photographes then glared at the cop*

*another older cop comes up behind Johnston and smacks him upside the head*

Cop: Serve and protect you idiot! If you cant get that through your thick scull you shouldn't be a cop! And you know what... If they're not doing anything illegal or harmful to this bodyor those who inhabit it... Serve and protect. *points to the pictures of Ozzy's extended family* Means protecting them too. As for these. *snatches up the ones of Ozzy and Thrax's 'special' time* This is none of your business kid.

Johnston: *scoffs* We're suppose to protect the body any viral harm including from those freaks. *he pointed to the photos of Ozzy's siblings and families* They should have been destroyed years ago.

Cop: and why? They havn't done anything harmful to the body. They just dwell here. They arn't that much diffrent from a vaccine. the only diffrence is they havn't been injected into the body to prevent similar viruses to themselves from infecting it. They simply live here in peace not doing anything harmful and actually contributing in the case of thsoe whomhave jobs in the area*

Anna: *looked at the photos* Have you even seen your living conditions lately?

Johnston: *smirked* In the slums where those hybrids freaks belong.

Drix: *growled and tried to resist shooting this jerk* Look they're not monsters, they have suffered for years and they're struggling to survive.

JohNorthstarton: So? Not our problem.

Cop: It's not your business what they do either. They arn't breaking the law. Leave them alone. Period

Deliah: *looked over the photos* Have they always lived like this Jones?

Ozzy: *nods* because too many people have too narrow minds to just accept them and let them be them...

Anna: Is there anything we can do to help?

Ozzy: Can we change the thinking of the citizens of Frank?

Drix: I've been talking with the Mayor and Leah but so far we've haven't been able to find a way.

*just then two officers charged in with a struggling she-virus, an HIV virus but there was some cell in her. She was struggling and cursing in African as she tried to break free.*

Drix: *spotted them* Oh no.

Ozzy: *looks over at the struggling virus and officers*

She-virus: *look up at Ozzy, the eyes of his half-sister staring back at him*

Deliah: *looked between Ozzy and the young she-virus* Jones do you know her?

Ozzy: *softly* she's my niece.

*The officers looked at him in shock*

Johnston: *laughed* Not so innocent are they Jones. *he laughed again*

Cop: *once more smacks Johnston upside the head* Innocent until proven guilty

Drix: *shouted* Realise her, she has done nothing wrong.

Officer: She is a thief and must be dealt with.

Ozzy: What did she steal?

Officer: *tossed a sack to the ground, filled with food*

Amara: *looked up at Ozzy and mouthed silently* Please uncle help us.

Ozzy: *nods, determination in his eyes*

Drix: *became angry* Is stealing food really that bad?

Officer: It is with these freaks of nature.

Ozzy: I know for a fact her family is bad off and basically starving. Youd' give her leeway if she were a full blooded cell.

Officer: *shrugged* True but she isn't a pureblooded cell is she. *smirked*

Cop: That doesn't matter... Justice is supposed to be blind tot hat sort of thing. It sickens me to see you wear that uniform. *narrows his eyes, leaving the room to see the cheif*

Officer 2: He's sickened? It makes us sick know an immunity cell is related to this trash. *he kneed Amara in the stomach or what stomach she had and she collapsed on the floor*

Female Officers: *gasped and then the uproars started*

Ozzy: *lets out a growl* Alright you know what... *without warning puts hsi hands behindhis back and cuffs him, the cuffs designed to negate a cell's morphing abilities* You are under arrest for asault and police brutality. *under the law no prisoner is allowed to be struck thusly*

Johnston: *stood up* You can't do that Jones.

Cheif: *coming out of his office* LIke hell he can't! I saw that. *point sto Johnston* YOU In my office NOW!!!

Johnston: *snarled at Ozzy and went into the chief's office*

Cheif: Callaway *gestures to the little girl* YOU take care of the girl. *Knows that he'sa fair officer. *pointing to someother agressors* Also you you and you... My office now!

Callaway: *nodded as he rolled Amara onto her back, supporting her head. She was much worse than anyone thought.*

*The officers the chief pointed to entered his office as well.*

*another cop comes to take the assaulting officer away and gestures for ozzy to go to his neice whom does*

Ozzy: Hey... Amara it's ok... *strokes her cheek* sweetie you're alright...

Amara: *didn't respon, she lay motionless where she was layed*

Ozzy: We've gotta get her to a hospital.... *starts to put his first aid training into effect*

*some of the older officers come over, removing their coats to help make a streatcher for the young viral hybrid*

*Anna and Dehila gently lay Amara on the home made stretcher*

Anna: Dehila and I will go with her, if you wish Jones.

Ozzy: *nods*

Anna: *nodded and motioned to the others to help*

*said officers come over and help

*a couple of them clear the way so the girl can be taken out of the PD*

*they carried Amara out of the station, getting into the cars and took off to the hospital*

Drix: *looked on as they left* Her family's not going to be pleased once they find out, *sighed* like they don't have enough to worry about.

Ozzy: Yeah I know...

Drix: *lay his hand on Ozzy's shoulder*

Ozzy: *puts his hand over Drix's*

Female Rookie: *walks up to Ozzy* She'll be okay, Anna and Dehila are two of the best in the FPD.

Ozzy: *nods and sighs softly* They'd never hurt anyone... and she had a good reason to steal... I mean yeah it's agaisnt the law but c'mon... Her whole family's starving and I tell you what he rparents are more malnourished than their kids... They make sure the kids are fed first and most....

Female Rookie: *nods* They're all noble but they still struggle to survive. *sighs* This city shouldn't be so biggot.

Ozzy: I know... *sighs*

Drix: *gently squeezed Ozzy's shoulder* We'll find a way to help them Ozzy.

Female Rookie: We all will.

*The female and older male officers all nodded in agreement*

Ozzy: *softly* Thanks you guys.

Drix: They'll get through this Ozzy.

*a random cop pokes his head out and calls to ozzy that the cheif says that if he doesn't get his neucliass down to the hospital with his niece now he's gonna kick it there himself*

Drix: Go on Ozzy, we'll cover for you.

Ozzy: *nods and heads there*

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 105)

Thrax: *awoke the next morning, unaware of what happened last night and smiled at his sleeping son*

Ozzy: *continues to sleep, curled up close and sucking his thumb*

Thrax: *smiled and quietly slipped out of bed, heading downstairs to make breakfast*

Talic: *is dowNorthstartairs asleep on the couch though seem sto be having uneasy dreams*

Thrax: *hesitated, not knowing to wake Talic or not*

Talic: *is tearing the furnature a little with his claws*

Thrax: *gently shook him* Talic, please brother wake up.

Talic: *begins to stirr though becomes more tense*

Thrax: *draws back slightly*

talic: *makes no agressive movements but does seem somewhat distressed when he does wake, not realising Thrax is there for a moment as he breathes a soft sad sigh, eyes closing again as tears fall from them*

Thrax: *gently wipes the tears away*

Talic: *starts a little and loooks up at him* THrax? *softly* I did not see you there my brother*

Thrax: *smiled* It's okay.

Talic: *sighs softly and sits up*

Thrax: Nightmares?

Talic: *nods, voice soft* And here... still five hundred years later... I still crave his touch in the manner of my fledglinghoood....*closes his eyes again, fighting back the tears this time*

Thrax: *sighed* What person hasn't felt that way?

Talic: *sighs softly* Good point...

Thrax: *lay his hand on Talic's shoulder*

Talic: *reaches up and takes hold of his hand, squeezing it*

Thrax: *gently sqeezed it back*

Talic: *rests his forehead on his hand and sighs softly*

Thrax: It's okay my brother, there are times I wish I had those days back but alot calmer.

Talic: *softly* I have not wept in a long time

Thrax: There's nothing to be ashamed of Talic.

Talic: *looks up at him*

Thrax: There's no need to be ashamed. *straightened himself up and went to the kitchen*

Talic: *nods a bit*

Thrax: *started cooking and setting the table*

Talic: *follows him into the kitchen to give him a hand with breakfast*

Thrax: *smiled* Thanks. *finished setting the table and went upstairs to checkon his children*

Thrax: *smiled and ate his own*

Ozzy: *checks the time* I better headout.

Thrax: See you later baby.

Ozzy: *goes to work*

Thrax: *gathers up the dishes and washes them*

Talic: Have you considered any schooling for her?

Thrax: No I haven't thought of it yet but where exactly would accept her?

Talic: Perhaps you could hire a tutor

Thrax: *sighs* I don't know even after all that has happened, I'm still nervous.

Talic: *nods* I coudl certianly give her some lessoNorthstar myself.

Thrax: *nods* I was actually home schooled myself, my mother taught me well.

Talic: *smiles* Perhaps she can teach her as well?

Thrax: *nods* For the time being but I'll make a few calls.

Talic: *nods* By the way how is your mother at teaching math?

Thrax: More than a professional less than a genius.

talic: *nods* Well as gentle natured as she is perhaps she would be best to tutor Northstar in Math. She struggles heavily with it and admittedly I'm not terribly good with it myself.

Thrax: *smiled* I'll give her a call. *he clears away the dishes*

Talic: *nods and smiles, kissing him on the cheek.

Thrax: *blushes*

Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 103)

Northstar: *sucks her thumb as she loosk at the others in the room, the only grown up cells or viruses she's really been exposed to having been her immediate family or the parents of children on the playground from afar*

A: *strokes her cheek* There's nothing to be afraid of sweetie. *she smiled, a silver locket hung round her neck*

Northstar: *looks up at her and then tilts her head as she looks at the locket*

A: *held the locket tight, fighting back tears as she headed into the kitchen.*

Northstar:*lets out a soft whimper and looks up at thrax as if to ask 'did I do something bad?'*

Thrax: *shook his head and cuddled her*

Johathan: *sighed* Even though she's with me her heart belongs to him.

Ozzy: Oh..

Johnathan: As mine does to Kia. *clasps his hands together*

*The twins' heads dropped while Lily and Sapphire fought back tears*

Northstar: *coos a little*

A: *stroked her cheek lightly*

Northstar: *looks up as she feels her hando n her cheek* *softly* You're warm like my daddy.

A: *smiled* Than you sweetie,

Ozzy: *chuckles softly* she sure likes being warm doesn't she?

Thrax: *chuckled* She does.

Northstar: *looks at Jonathan* You're kinda soft and squishy like my big brother.

Ozzy: hey! *blushes*

Johnathan: *patted her head*

Northstar: *giggles a little*

Sapphire: *smiles and comes over, giving thrax a kiss on top of the head*

Sapphire: *smiles* Thrax has been good to me. And Ozzy's a sweetie. You help your dad take care of your little sister don't you?

Ozzy: *blushes a little as his head is rubbed* Yes ma'am.

Thrax: *smirked* But most of the time he needs looking after as well.

Ozzy: *blushes* Daaaaaad...

Thrax: Well it's true, baby.

*The twins burst out laughing*

Northstar: *looks over at the twiNorthstar*

A: *glared at them* Thant's enough you two.

*They both covered their mouths and ran out of the room still sniggering*

Northstar: *shrinks a little from the glare even though it's not directed at her*

A: *shakes her head* Those two sometimes. *she strokes Northstar's hair* Sorry for scaring you sweetie.

Northstar: *nods al ittle, sucking her thumb still*

Thrax: *smiled at the two and pulled Ozzy onto his lap*

Ozzy: *blushes but nuzzles him a little*

Thrax: *nuzzles him back and kisses his cheek*

Northstar: How come uncle Talic didn't come daddy?

*talic is accustomed to people being afraid of him at first glance and decided it best just not to go for fear of spoiling the meal*

Thrax: He thought his present would spoil the evening sweetie, he can be scarey at first glance.

Northstar: *giggles* Uncle talic's not scary. *of course she's known him all her life and to her his presence means cuddles and protection*

Thrax: That's because you've known him all your life but when people first meet him he can frighten them slightly.

Northstar: why?

Ozzy: *chuckles* you mean aside the fangs and claws?

Northstar: Daddy's claws are bigger than uncle talics. And they both have the same color eyes.

Johnathan: Someone like Thrax we're use to seeing but I don't know about this Talic person.

Northstar: *looks up at him* But he's good.

A: Do you have a picture of him?

Northstar: *ndos and takes a locket out of her own shirt*

*on the other side is a picture of her father, turning the pages, reveals a picture of Northstar as a baby and another one of talic giving one sleepy-eyed baby a bottle while another, identicle one, sleeps on his chest, presumably already fed*

A: *looked at the photos and smiled softly*

Johnathan: *smiled as well* He really cares for you young one.

A: *gasped* How can anyone do that to an angel like you?

Northstar: *softly* It's my fault mama died... *sniffs a little*

Ozzy: No way that could be true kiddo.

A: *stroked her head* I know it wasn't your fault sweetie.

Northstar: *softly* Mama was saving me...

A: What true mother wouldn't save her child?

Lily: *nodded and hung her head*

Northstar: *looks up at her and Jonathan and sucks her thumb, a little teary*

Johnathan: *wiped her tears away*

Northstar: *flinches very slightly for a moment then lightly nuzzles the older cell's hand*

Johnathan: You're safe now with your uncle and Thrax.

Northstar: I was really scared of daddy at first when I saw him though... and of ozzy...

Ozzy: Well you were hurt and you woke up in a new place with complete strangers. of course you were scared kiddo

Thrax: It's normal behaviour honey.

Ozzy: *smiles*

A: *smiled* You all are well addapted to each and that's good.

Thrax: *smiled* Thanks.

Northstar: *nuzzles a a little*

Ozzy: *chuckles* I think she's getting sleepy.

Thrax: *looked at the clock* It is getting late. *he picked up Northstar into his arms*

Sapphire: Already?

Thrax: *turned to her* Sorry Sapphire but I should get these two to bed.

Lily: Is that what she was worried about?

Thrax: *nodded* She got the wrong impression.

Northstar: *continues to suck her thumb timidly*

Johnathan: *reaches out and lightly pats her head*

Sapphire: *gently* it's ok sweetie you'll see.. my daddy's not scary, he's just protective.

Northstar: *flinches for a moment as though shethinks Jonathyn will strike her and timidly opens an eye and looks at him as he lightly pats her head*

Johnathan: *smiled sweetly at her*

Northstar: *can be felt trembling, but she doesn't seem to be clinging to thrax as tightly as she was a moment ago*

Thrax: *whispered to her* It's okay honey, he won't hurt you.

Ozzy: *smiles a little though he remembers the injured frightened little girl he brought home from the dirty allyway*

Lily: *knealt beside Northstar* It's okay, daddy may look rough but he's just a big teddy bear.

Northstar: *nods alittle and looks timidly up at the older white blood cell*

Johnthan: *smiled softly at her*

Northstar: *rubs her eyes al ittle*

Johnathan: *stroked her cheek gently*

Northstar: *flinches again but not as much as before*

Thrax: Sweet it's okay he won't hurt you.

Sapphire: *softly* She acts like someone used to hit her a lot...

Thrax: *sighed* Which is true.

Sapphire: *frowns* who would do such a thing?

Thrax: *quietly* Her father.

Ozzy:*softly* Yeah her biological father was pretty mean to her... *kind of like his biological mom*

Johnathan: *looked sick* Heart.less.

Northstar: *softly* daddy doesn't hit me. *referring to Thrax of course, she has yet to be disciplined more harshly than a time out in her room, she has yet to need it*

Johnathan: *smiled* He really loves you both.

Ozzy: *smiles*Yeah no question about that. *smiles* I mean nither of us were born his kids and he just took us in.

Thrax: Northstar it's good to meet other people besides we need to meet Sapphire's parents to get to know them.

Northstar: But her stepdaddy is really scary.

Thrax: Don't worry I wouldn't let him harm you. *strokes her cheek*

Northstar: *looks up at him but still keeps a firm grip on her feet, legs still crossed on the couch*

Thrax: *sighs* Northstar sometimes whjen you hear things about people you shouldn't quickly judge them.

Northstar: *bites her lowerl ip a little and looks up at him*

Thrax: *stroked her cheek* You'll see everything will be fine.

Northstar: *still protests, insisting she wants to be barefoot*

Thrax: *sighed* Honey they may find it uncivelised if you come barefoot.

Northstar: Why?

Thrax: No one comes to dinner in thier bare feet.

Northstar: I eat dinner barefoot at home.

Thrax: but when going out it's considered bad manners.

Northstar: Why?

Thrax: Many find it disgusting and unrulely.

Northstar: Oh...

Thrax: So no more resisting?

Northstar: *softly* Kay...

Thrax: Now c'mon now no more foolin' we need to leave. *he helped her with her shoes*
