"Hello? Mr. McLoughlin?" A soft voice asked.
"No this is...his partner. What is it?" Dark asked with a little huff before hearing what is was.

Lizzy got into a fight at school.
A girl snapped her pencil and Lizzy lost it and broke the girl's nose.
Since Lizzy had been closed off like Jack, she hadn't really grown up learning people skills, and Jack was worried about something like this happening. He had done his best to show her how to act properly around others but clearly Dark's anger issues seemed to have passed onto her and Jack hadn't been prepared for that.

Once Dark was off the phone to the Principal Dark quickly got up and woke Jack up, helping him get dressed before rushing down to the school.

"Oh, no, no, no..." Dark mumbled shaking his head. "I've messed this all up haven't I? I should've let you guys stayed at the base with me. Elizabeth would know how to talk to people then and interact." He rambled feeling 100% responsible. "She wouldn't have gotten into a fight on her first day..."
Jack was half asleep, still pretty worn out but listening to Dark ramble on. "No, I should've taught her better," he mumbled. "I wasn't that great of a teacher..."
Dark shook his head. "You did amazing. She's such a smart little girl." He whispered pulling up at the school. "Come on, love. I know you're tired but I don't want to lose my temper and it's better when you're here with me."
Jack was yawning as Dark spoke, then he nodded his head, "Yes I know... although she might just use those puppy eyes of hers and make you melt like she always does," he said before he got out of the car. "You're not used to them like I am."
Dark nodded at that. "I know." He whispered getting out the car and taking Jack's hand before heading into the school.

When they entered to office Elizabeth was sat there looking down while the Principal typed on her keyboard. "Oh! Hello." She beamed standing up and shaking their hands.
Jack looked as tired as he sounded tired, and was even yawning as he shook the lady's hand. "Hello, nice to meet you."
"Sorry to wake you." The Principal joked before sitting back down and gesturing for them to do the same. "So, Elizabeth here has gotten herself into a bit of trouble."
"It's fine..." Jack mumbled as he sat down in one of the seats in front of the desk. "Yeah, so I was told..." Jack mumbled, looking back at Lizzy who was sitting in a chair by the door, looking down at her shoes.

"So, at lunch today Elizabeth was drawing some pictures while eating her lunch when a girl came over and asked her what she was drawing. Elizabeth got defensive and covered it up so in retaliation the girl snapped her pencil." She stated looking over at Lizzy. "Is this correct?"
Lizzy didn't speak up, she stayed staring down at her feet.

Jack cleared his throat, looking back at Lizzy. "Lizzy....? Is that true..?"
Then she slowly nodded her head and Jack sighed.
Dark sighed softly and rubbed the side of his face.

"The girl has been spoken to as well about how she approaches people." She said before looking back over at Lizzy. "I don't want to punish Elizabeth on her first day, but, if this behavior continues I'll have no choice. She broke a child's nose."
"I know I know..." Jack mumbled, rubbing his face. "I'm sorry this has happened, I'll have a talk with her as well as set up a at home punishment. I'm sorry for taking up your time..." he told the Principal.

Once that was over Dark walked the two of them out to the car and got in, pulling out of the school then going home.
The car home was silent and Jack was watching out the window the whole time. He was very clearly very upset.
He was now very tired and upset.

Dark turned and glanced at Lizzy in the rearview mirror once they were close to home, deciding to finally break the silence. "Can you tell me what you were thinking about or feeling at that moment?" He asked softly, trying to remain calm.
"They were mean to me so I was mean to them..." she mumbled, pulling her knees to her chest and hiding her face. She didn't like how both her parents seemed disappointed in her.
Dark nodded at that. "I think that's fair enough but...you can't really punch someone in the nose princess." He cooed before looking at the road. "There's many people I would like to punch in the face but I can't. I'd get in trouble."
"But it made her leave me alone..." she mumbled.
