OOC: Screw it, Catbus Iandak doublepost comin atcha. BACK STORY TO THE MAX.


The group sat together, eating quietly, only the sound of chewing, or a slurp here or there from Heat could be heard. After what seemed like an eternity, Heat got up and stretched.
“Well, gang, I’d love to stay and sit in silence, but you’re all boring the hell outta me. See ya later.” Heat said, seeming unamused by the boring events. He knew the crew wouldn’t take too much offense to his comment, they know that’s just how he is. And if they DID take offense.... well screw them.

“Yo, Seth, you coming?” Heat shouted as he continued to walk, not bothering to see if Seth was following. Seth quickly gathered his bowl and plates, along with the ones Heat left behind (How rude >:C) and put them away, before waving bye to the rest of the crew.
“Later guys,” Seth said, smiling kindly.

Shadow Olympus 10:30 - Seth's Room
After a surprisingly quiet breakfast Seth and Bernard headed straight back to Seth's room for a shower. Well technically it was an emergency chemical wash station set up in a closet, but the water was warm enough and that was all that mattered. Changing into a pair of cargo pants and wife-beater that he made himself, he headed over to the Recreation room to meet with Heat.

Seth sat quietly as the opening for Gatchaman started. Glancing over at Heat (whose eyes were completely glued to the television), Seth couldn't help but feel that he didn't need to be here. Once Heat was focused on something it would take a nuclear explosion to get his attention back. "Well at least he's being quiet." Bernard said as he sat on the couch between Seth and Heat, taking up just as much room as either one of them.
"I never got the point of these things, why do you love this stuff so much?" Seth finally said during an action scene.
Heat was silent for a while, still caught up with the moves Ken the Eagle was pulling off. Still glued to the screen, Heat just shrugged. “I dunno. The good guys are able to show up in the nick of time to save people, loved by all.... and no one gets hurt. You know, just that sorta shit.”
Seth was actually taken back, that was a surprisingly deep answer coming from Henderson. This probably had something to do with his parents, he never talked about them. Mind you, Seth rarely talked about his parents either. Well, that was about to change.
"Hey, is it ok if I ask you a question?"
"Eh."
"What where your parents like?"
A dead silence fell over between the two, the faint sound of explosions and yelling in the background could be heart. Heat finally grabbed the remote and paused the video, glancing over at Seth. His eyes were filled with contempt.
"What the fuck kind of question is that?! Where is this shit coming from?" Heat said, jumping up from off the couch.
"Woah, sorry man, I was just curious."
"Yeah, well, there's some things you randomly don’t start asking people, man. Just fucking stick to talking to that stupid toy you carry around," Heat snapped, pointing to Bernard. " and another thing!-"
Before Heat could finish his sentence, he felt the intense force of Seth’s fist right in his face. Heat was knocked into the air before falling on the ground, looking up at the angry giant.
"Now listen closely, I'm only saying this one time,” Seth said through clenched teeth, “Nobody, an' I mean nobody ever talks about Bernard like that, got that through your thick skull Henderson?"
"You motherfucker....." Heat muttered, wiping a little bit of blood from his nose before he got up and jumped at his friend, tackling Seth over the couch.

The two fought for a good twenty minutes, fists flying, legs flailing. The rec room had become messy, with objects thrown off the tables and chairs flipped over. The two were both bruised and scraped, blood dripping from their noses or cut lips. Both boys were absolutely exhausted, simultaneously falling over as the each tried to flail a punch at their opponent. The two laid there on the ground, flat on their backs, staring at the ceiling quietly.

"He was a policeman" Heat said breaking the silence. "my dad, He was one of the greatest officers at Scotland yard. I wanted to be just like him, puttin’ away the bad guys and keepin’ the people safe. Mom just stayed at home, but she was a good mom, y’know?"
"Heh, is that so?" Seth chuckled between pants.
"Yeah. What about you?"
"My Mum, She was a seamstress that's how she and my pa met, he was just...... a business man" Seth said, covering up his father's true profession, sure that it'd cause a rift in the justice-driven Heat.
"That explains all the sewing, huh?”
"I guess, I never really got to meet her," Seth said quietly reaching for his locket "she passed away right after I was born, the only thing I have to remember her by is Bernard, she made him from scratch for me." He opened his locket to look at a picture of his parents. It was a photo taken on their wedding day.

The two laid in silence. Heat was finally understanding Bernard’s importance to Seth, and Seth was starting to understand Heat’s obsession with superheroes. After a few minutes of silence, Heat was the first one to get back up.
“Come on, man. We gotta finish that episode.” Heat said, smiling as he extended his hand out to his friend.

Seth just smiled back as he grabbed his hand.
“Sure.”

SOCIAL RANK TOTALLY UP.
