Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 23:Fast Times @ Adams High pt. 1

4 hours later Jay lays in bed holding his broken Retro emitters in his hands. The spherical globe sitting beside him on his nightstand loudly ring's as its holographic clock changes from 6:59 Am to 7:00 Am, Wake me up by Wham blares from his alarm clock. Jay sleepily said Off, his alarm clock quickly shuts off, As he wipes crust out of his eyes along with his eyes to see Mike sitting across from his bed. Mike assuredly said Up and At 'em Jason as he tosses a black Messenger bag at him He assuredly said Be downstairs in 5 minutes.

3 minutes later Jay stands in front of a mirror wearing blue jeans,A cobalt blue V-neck, crimson Red Nike Foamposites and A black/ Red leather jacket. He slips his Walkman on his belt loop setting his headphones around his neck, He jet's out his room shooting down the stairs, barreling into the kitchen to see Mike sitting at the kitchen table Sipping coffee. He assuredly said Let's go you don't want to be late for your first day of school. High up in the sky above New Yorkoyo, Jason sits in the backseat of S-3 a sleek armored black suv viewing blueprints from Drew's comp. Mike tosses a steaming hot Hero wrapped in Foil to Jason, Mike assuredly said I swung by Lions Delicatessen on the way to take you to school. I grabbed you your usual, a double Bacon, Egg and Cheese bagel. What's up Bar? As he stares back at Jason with concern in his eyes via the rearview mirror. Jason assuredly said Thanks for breakfast Mikey I... wonder if the red wolf's making a difference.

I mean REALLY making a difference in this city. The whole purpose of my Red Wolf project was to help people who can't help themselves. To be a voice for those who don't have one, To stand up for the little guy. Mike assuredly said it's a noble idea Barry I'm not saying it isn't but you can't take the law into your own hands that's why we've Cops so they can do their jobs. You shouldn't be worrying about the scum of this city, You should be worrying about How many shots you can chug. Before you throw up all over your friends at a frat party, Or who you'll ask to prom, Or who's going to be your Fuckin' Lab partner. Normal Kid shit, he heavily sighs and says Look Jason I'm not your father lord knows I wouldn't know how to be one even if I had a clue.

What I do know is that this'll be an amazing opportunity for you. Adam's Academy is one of the best schools in the world, only the best of the best go there your parents wouldn't want you throwing your life away over a job that's not yours to do. They'd want you to have a normal life, not beating the shit out of criminals and punishing them for their crimes. Jason assuredly said Normal? Mikey Nothing about my life has ever been normal I've been abnormal since I was born. Plus I don't think me going to some private school where the trust fund kids puff their inheritance and the nerds get shoved into lockers would really be a good thing for me. I've a better idea Mikey why don't we go to my lab and try to find S-1. And we can tell Gam Gam and Billie that I went.

What do you say Hoss? As he looks at Mike mischievously smiling, Mike assuredly said not happening Barry Your grandmother would Fuckin Kill me if she found out I helped you play hookie especially when it's your first day. I love you man I really do but we all agree that you going to Adams is what's best for you. We're almost there you might want to hold onto your ass I'm activating the boosters, as he touches a screen causing S-3 to rapidly shoot through the clouds heading towards an empty space. Jason says Mike, Mike!! You're Fuckin Crazy!! What're you doing?!! As he stares at Mike with fear all over his face like a rash. Mike assuredly says I'm bringing you to school, Jason screams what school!! I don't see a school. As a Massive Victorian Style Castle appears floating in the empty space, Jason shockingly said that's Adams? As S-3 soars over Adams massive 75 acre campus docking in a parking hub.

Jason assuredly says So this is why Me,Dad and Drew built the Suborbital Thrusters for this place Mike puts S-3 in park and turns around to face Jason. Mike assuredly said Jason I'm not your father but If I were I'd tell you this I'm so proud of you and everything you've accomplished in the past 5 years. Even with the revelation that you're the Red Wolf Since I've known you you've always wanted to make a difference in the world. I need you to promise me something Bar, Jason assuredly said Thanks Mikey yeah anything what's it?. Mike assuredly said Promise me that you won't fuck this up for yourself Don't fight anyone unless they start it.You've gotten your anger under control but I know you, you're still a firecracker. All it takes to set you off is a spark ONLY defend yourself DONT maim If me or your grandparents get a call. From the headmistress about you fighting I'll beat your ass myself , Jason assuredly said you can sure as fuck try hoss.

Mike stares at Jay sternly and says It's not a fight you'll win but If you want to test your luck let me get a call from your school. Don't forget who taught you how to fight Now we've wasted enough time let's go Bar, As him and Jason hop out S-3 Mike grabs a silver suitcase out the trunk handing it to Jason. Jason weirdly says thanks what's the suitcase for?, Mike assuredly said oh shit I forgot to tell you Adams has luxury state of the art dormitories. Your grandmother packed all your favorites you'll be here for a few weeks if you need anything don't hesitate to call me Alright??. Jason assuredly said copy that oh and you were wrong Mike you're as much of a Dad to me as Dad was... Love you man as he tightly hugs Mike before slowly letting him go, Mike sincerely said I love you too Barry and I consider you my own son.
