Mr. Mysterious: Technoblade

"Needs salt," he stated and walked away. We talked for a while and then the door opened again.

"You're such a bad parent!" Phil yelled as Technoblade walked in. Jonathan ran in, crying, and ran to his room.

"Get out, Phil!" Techno yelled and slammed the door on his face.

"No!" Phil slammed the door open and Techno pushed past him, going god knows where. Phil motioned for me to walk to the side and I did. He whispered to me about what had happened.

"He's not hurt. Before you ask. Techno took him to the cave, like he said, and Jonathan was scared, okay. Obviously. It was dark. Techno decided to leave him! I decided to go mining and find Jonathan at the bottom of a ravine, surrounded by spiders and zombies! I killed them and asked him what happened and he said he was pushed in by a skeleton. He fell 60 feet but landed in the water. I gave him a healing potion I had and then we found Techno at the entrance. You know what this fucker said? He said, 'He needs to know how to survive.' The kid doesn't even know how to swing a sword!" Phil said, clearly angry. "I know I shouldn't tell you how to parent, but I suggest you tell Technoblade to sleep somewhere else for the night."

"Okay..." I said and we heard something fall upstairs. We went to the living room and Dream was gone. "Where's Dream?" I asked Foolish.

"He went upstairs," he said. Phil and I ran up and went to Jonathan's room.

"Wipe your tears," Dream told Jonathan who did. "If someone pushes you..." Dream pushed him and he fell on the floor. "You get back up." Jonathan stood back up and watched Dream who was squatting at his height. "You don't wait for anyone to help you. Your mom, your uncle, and I learned that early on in life. You have to grow up and be able to protect your family, right?" Dream asked and Jonathan nodded. "Good, kid."

"Thanks, Uncle Dream," Jonathan hugged him and Dream smiled. He stood and came to us.

"Teach him what you know," Dream told me. "Give him a break from Technoblade's... teaching. I need to talk to you."

"Okay," I said.

"Mama?" Jonathan said.

"Hang on, honey. Grandpa Phil will stay with you for a minute," I said. I took Dream to a separate room.

"After exploding L'Manberg... I'm taking the blame. They all built a maximum-security prison and... they plan to put me in for life. Real soon," Dream said.

"What? You can hide, though. Run from them."

"No, I-I can't," he chuckled. "I can't run forever, Scarra. We're supposed to face our problems. Not run from them. I don't want you to visit unless required."

"Which is when?"

"You know how I'll contact you," Dream winked at me. He took a deep breath and gave me a hug. Then he left with Foolish. Techno got home and I stepped out onto the porch.

"Find somewhere else for the night," I said.

"What?" He scoffed.

"Think about everything you've done. You are putting Jonathan in danger at every chance you have! Your son! I'm your wife, Technoblade! I'm his mother! If I have to make that choice to keep him away from you, I will! So find a place for the night and come back when you learn how to be a dad." I went in and upstairs.

"Hi, mama," Jonathan said.

"I assume you got it from here," Phil left and I sat with Jonathan.

"Uncle Dream is nice," he said.

"Yeah. He looks tough but he's just a softie. You'll like Uncle Foolish. He builds a lot."

"Mama, I'm hungry."

"Come on. I made soup." He gasped and followed me down. We had soup and bread for dinner, then I tucked him in at night. He slept and I went out to Ranboo's house to see if he was there. I rang the bell and he opened the door.

"Hey. What's up?" He asked.

"Are you free tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah. Why?"

"I wanna train Jonathan to fight. As you know, Dream, Foolish, and I are gods. I'm gonna give him a power tomorrow. I plan on it being teleportation. And you... you're an enderman. I thought maybe you could help teach him."

"Sick. Yeah, of course. I'll be over in the morning," Ranboo smiled.

"Thanks so much," I hugged him and went home. I slept alone and had a restless night.

In the morning, I made breakfast for Jonathan and he wasn't concerned at all about where Technoblade was. Ranboo walked in and Jonathan watched him. Ranboo teleported into the chair next to him and Jonathan's jaw dropped.

"Woah! Poof!" He said and I laughed.

"Yeah. Poof," Ranboo chuckled.

"You have breakfast?" I asked Ranboo.

"Yeah. I'm good." Jonathan finished his breakfast and I sat them both down with an old book.

"Okay, both of you. This is a book where I got my Godly powers. Jonathan, do you wanna go poof like Ranboo?" I asked and he nodded, knowing the situation was serious. "Okay. I'll brew something up for you and you have to drink every last drop, okay?" He nodded and I brewed. He drank it and sneezed, teleporting to the kitchen. Then the living room, then his bedroom, then back to us. Ranboo held him and Jonathan stopped teleporting. "Ranboo's gonna teach you how to control those teleportations. He's super nice and he'll take care of you."

"You said that last time," Jonathan said.

"I was wrong." Ranboo took Jonathan to the lawn and by the end of the day, Jonathan could teleport. Ranboo stayed for dinner and then wanted to teach more the next day. I let him and he wanted to use me as an example.

"When you want to fight, you can use your powers to your advantage. You could just teleport behind..." Ranboo teleported behind me. "And then attack them." Ranboo taught Jonathan everything he knew and then the training was done. Techno came back that night and we talked outside.

"I don't know what got into me. I know he's not like me. I tried to make him like me. He's trying to enjoy life and I'm not letting him. I know I'm not a good father, Scarra. I know. It bothers me that I hurt him and you. So I promise to better myself. I apologize to you and him. But I'll talk to him separately. I learned from my mistakes and I promise that I'll run things by you and I'll never put him in danger again," Techno said. "Please forgive me."
