Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 11:Origins Pt 3

Richard curiously said I've some Questions for you Jason What's a 10-year-old Kid like you doing with Bullet wounds on their chest, How'd you end up in our dumpster, Why do you carry around a Multi-tool on your hip like it's a Lightsaber?. What kind of Kid has multiple run-ins with the cop's leaving most of them in critical condition Jason assuredly said Empire, Return of the Jedi, And Revenge of the Sith are my favorites. Mr.Starr that tool has saved my life more times than I can count Especially from the Cop's that don't care about people that look like me or you. When you're outside this Ivory tower Cops only look at one thing And it's not the credits in your bank account. Those scars on my body are from the people who didn't give a fuck about me the people that just used my trust and destroyed my innocence. NEVER AGAIN He trembles as he breathes, Jay assuredly said Mrs.Starr thank you for dinner tonight and for saving my life. Mr.Starr Despite our conversation It was an honor to finally meet you I've to go use the bathroom where's it?

Michael assuredly said the upstairs bathroom is the 3rd door on the right Master Riley, Jason assuredly said You can call me Jason Mate none of that master crap I'm no one's master As he fastly runs upstairs. Nicole worriedly stares at Richard, Upstairs in the bedroom Jason woke up in. He sees his clothes sitting folded on the bedside nightstand with a holographic note attached to his shirt. Nicole's voice via the note says I don't know what brought you into our lives but I believe it was for a reason. Jason Your past doesn't have to define your future, Jason Quickly gets dressed glimpsing himself in the mirror. Seeing his scarred body before covering it with his shirt Jay grabs his messenger bag and runs towards the window opening it. Staring out it seeing the beautiful garden and courtyard along with how high the window is from the ground.

He calmly breathes as he nearly jumps out the window, But gets grabbed from behind being tossed on the bed seeing Richard standing in front of him. Richard assuredly said I wouldn't do that if I were you, that's a 50 ft drop You will break both of your legs from the impact alone. And if you land at an awkward angle you'll most definitely sprang your ankles and do irreparable damage to yourself I came up to talk with you before you did anything rash Good thing I got here when I did. Jason I don't like unknown variables that could threaten my family and everything that I've worked so hard to build. I know you have had a rough life I can't imagine what you've had to do in order to survive, I brought you up some of Mrs.Starr's famous German Chocolate cake try some. As Richard hands Jason a plate of German Chocolate Cake, He watches Jason tear up the cake with delight and speed. Jason loudly burp's he assuredly said thank you Mr.Starr that was really great cake, I mean your family no harm whatsoever honest.

He assuredly said When you are a kid like me who has no parents, no real family who gives a damn about him. When that family finally arrives they see what you're capable of and make You use the Intelligence God gave you for less than noble things to Improve everyone else's life but yours. Or they beat you within an inch of your life because you stick up for someone weaker than you and you can't do anything about it except accept it or fight back with every ounce of strength your 10 year old self can muster Mr.Starr I just want to make a difference in the world Do you know what that's like?? When the odds are stacked against you and you feel like you're drowning. Richard assuredly said you're welcome Jason I know what it's like to do whatever you need to in order to make it from one day to the next, That feeling of drowning you speak of it never goes away Not really. I admire your altruism For wanting to make the world a better place, I have some questions for you. Jason 1:Where'd you come from? Before we found you bleeding out in the back of our dojo. 2: What's your Multi-Tool made of?, 3:Who made it? 4: Why do you want to help improve my company?. He stares at Jason with intrigue and curiosity on his face.

Jason assuredly said I left the Boys home I was at, I bumped into this guy who looked like he had enough credits to spare So I robbed him. I know it was wrong but I didn't know what else to do you either kill or be killed in the street's simple as that. The guy didn't have any credits on him at all just this weird fracking disc The thing I told you about the water tower was true they make me feel like none of my problems can touch me. I touched the disc and it shot out this ear piercing noise I'm assuming it made me fall off the tower and land in the dumpster in the back of your dojo. That wasn't planned by the way, I didn't mean to land in your dumpster at all, My Multi-Tool is made of Adaptoid Metal I picked some up from a scrapyard on Tarsol-3 It's very durable yet light enough to not make too much noise in a fight unlike a gun or a blade I made it myself. Mr.Starr I want to improve your company because you inspired me to make technology when some of my foster families treated me like Absolute Shit you were there to help me out.  So I figured I'd return the favor, You don't even have to pay me I just want to do something right for once so I can prove everyone that said I wouldn't be anything wrong. So I can prove it to myself that maybe I wasn't a mistake, Richard sits on the bed in silence. Jason curiously said Are you gonna say something? Anything?!. It was stupid of me to say that I'm sorry for bothering you and your family. Mr.Starr I had a feeling because I'm a Strat that you wouldn't take me seriously.

I don't want your charity or your fucking pity, I should've jumped. As he brushes past Richard, Rich quickly grabs him and tightly hug's him he said Jason I didn't say anything because I was speechless no Child should have to endure what you've been through. I've to talk to Mrs.Starr, I can't make any promises about this situation being long term. But I can promise you this If you Stay here with us for a few weeks we'll go from there. You won't have to worry about being abused or taken advantage of We'll take care of you Son I give you my word you'll have all the food and toys that you could ever dream of and I might be able to get you a spot in our junior summer camp internship at S.I I know the CEO and the CFO. You won't be rich or anything like that but you and I can make the world a better place together. What do you say Son? As he holds his hand out to Jason motioning for him to shake it.
