And the day's past, Sol finds his days at Jenkins, often in one of his perants class rooms, sitting in the corner reading or helping. At night Adi takes over saying
'My turn to keep my baby.b company'
So they spend the nights together, Adi quick to comfort Sol if anything happens.
Sol's tharapy session go well, often filled with small talk and song, qutions were equally shared and awserd between both and Sol was grateful for her help, everyone help.
As the week past Jackson found happily scarring around Jenkins, delivering note's and paper work for teachers, he also putting on weight, slowly but he's now at 53kg and now go's on morning jogs with Adi. Sol thanks his parents every day, but he never thought words were enough, so got a tattoo for them so they new. Two kyo fish circling each other, one the top of his left shoulder and the other on his upper back. One dark, one light with there star sing in there centre.
Keller and Cooper were brought to tears, good ones, very overwhelmed, but all were happy, Adilin only comment being
"I'm next"
Sol didn't even what long, the next free day he took his brother to the parlour and got one for him too. Adi chose right culer bone and top of the shoulder.
The words across his culer bone
'but without the dark we'd never see the stars' with a misty stary sky ontop of his shoulder.
Both were happy with the tattoo, Adi wonted to know Cherry more, but she had other clients. Keller went to the licence and registration officer, when they released he been driving over 2 years with no traffic violations, they reinsocked his licence, Sol was shocked but happy, he could finally feel happy and say it.
Wednesday comes around and Adi has an idea saying
"Hay it's the end of month market on Sunday, we should go!"
Cooper replied happily
"Sounds great, we could walk there to!"
All are happy about this idea turning to a quiet Sol, Adi asked
"Baby.b we don't have to go, you know right?"
Sol node's and replies
"Yeh, I just never been, seen no intrust"
Shrugs and continues with a smirk
"I would like to tho this time, especially with you Adi"
The week go's past quickly, and Sunday is hear, the family eger to go, but Keller has been asked to talk with Raven, so will meet his family there. This was probably a better idea now Sage was taking the car because nowing his husband he would buy anything his children wonts, even the hole dam market if asked. Keller enters Raven's office, there not even a hello before Raven speaks in a panic voice
"This isn't good Sage! I've been looking all day, but then she aired it"
Keller cuts in asking
"Fuck what? say it all, from the beginning!!"
Raven takes a breath and continues
"Sol's mother, she was arrested in America, rumer was she yelled at a store clerk because her cedit cards were declined. She was discharged soon after, I was looking for her, try and get her arrested again, but she disserperd after.  I've been looking, though you could help.  But she just pop back up 5 minutes ago. She's leaked Jackson condition, not just that, but who he's Dad was.
Who his parents are know, Sage!"
Keller does wast a second, running out to fine his family, on the way trying to call Max, but he didn't pick up. At the market Sol is enjoying himself, with his family, he grown to the point he could say that, so here they are walking around shopping, the end of month market had everything, clothing, shoes, food, trinkets and jewellery.
So far Adi had 3 pairs of jeans and a ring, Sol had a new pair of shoes and a giant stick of cotton candy, Cooper was just happy to be with his kids, spoiling them.
As they continue shopping, pointing out things, just enjoying the day, Sol gets stopped by a lady asking
"Sorry, are you Sol Jackson?"
Sol worriedly asked
"Yeh, are you ok"
She only nods, turns and yelled
"HERE! I HAVE SOL JACKSON!"
Turning back to Sol asking
"How do you feel about the information your mother released?"
Sol's lost, more frozen in the spot, Max and Adi coming running over, Adi clang to his arm asking
"Baby.b are you ok?"
The lady interrupted asking
"You must be the adoptive son of the gay hero's!"
Next they new they were getting swapped with people, really, reports and there  questions, Cooper standing protectively infront of his kids, just repeating
'no comments'.
Suddenly Sol legs give out grabbing at his chest, a panic attack, this was to much for him, for anyone. Adilin in a flash Kneeling down, pulling Sol close to his chest and wrapping his arms around protecting.
Nose is a blur at this point, then there's a loud honking of a car and sure enough there's a car drivering down the middle of the market, not ment to be there and with
barely enough room moving towards them.
As the car closes in, not driving fast, but people don't won't to chance it and move, then stopping next to the circus of media, the divers door opens revealing a pissed Keller, a irry glow surrounded him, yelling at the crowd
"YES THEY MY CHILDREN, YES THAT MY HUSBAND!
YOU HARMD THEM IN ANY WAY I WILL SUE YOU!
NO.FURTHER.COMENTS"
Turning his attention to his family,
simply saying
"Get in"
Max quickly drapes his jacket over Adi, and scoops Sol up with the shopping.
When all in the car Keller moves forward once more, the tension in the car is cut by Sol's gasp as he asked Adi
"Adi I'm so sorry your hurt, oh are you ok, please te.."
Adi cuts him off saying
"Oh baby.b I'm fine, just my shitty Della, I cry blood."
Sol let's a 'oh' out, and Keller voice is head
"Fucking hell are you ok, please tell me your all ok"
Cooper dejectedly said
"Were on a level of ok after that shit, but, what.the.hell!!"
Keller simply saying
"Home"
When the family's home, tea at hand and comphly around each other, Keller starts
"Sol, that bich has done this"
Sol let's a tear roll down his face as he wispers
"Sorry"
Cooper jumping in
"Oh sweet little J, never apologise for her"
Adi conference
"I was born in a creak house, I never apologise, because then I would have to be sorry for what brought me here.
Yes it sucked, but I have amazing perants because of it."
Sol now crying in Adi's grasp, taking a well needed breath and nods as Keller contus
"Raven said, she's in America, it's a ruma but, her credit cards declined,  so she lost her shit at a store clurk, got put in prison, but discharged as quickly. Just as I was entering the office, she released confdtionl information on you, us, all of it"
Cooper ask
"Sage bab what do you mean 'all of it'?"
Keller sihys rubbing his temple saying
"Our marriage, our kids, but more importantly, Sol"
Keller paused, looking over to Sol and continues
"She put on the media you Micah's son, your the arre to Star Corp"
Sol stands up to quickly and gasping, thers little air and the rooms spinning, darkness takes over Sol's lite, overwhelmed head and carlaps. Cooper quickly catching him, holding him close and cuddle on the sofa. Keller looks over Sol but as he thought Sol's just fainted so nothing to do, as Adi puts a blanket on them, only for Max to say lovingly
"My Adi, there's room for you, let's watch a movie, hmm"
And with that Adi snuggle in and Keller put in a movie before nestled next to Max.
Days past and things don't improve, the only good thing was the class, he's frainds didn't care about Star Corp, which made him happy. But the media would not stop, one head line after another and they were not holding back, headlines saying
'Trayning to be a hero, or Trayning to die'
'The Legacy, suicide aira to Star Corp'
'Gay Hero's raise suicidal kid'
'Suicide Prince of Star Corp'
Sol was blamed himself, he was going back to a dark place, but he felt like there was no return this time, this time it was different in so many ways. His family try supporting him in everyway, and he was grateful but everything was going to be defrent after what he was about to do, but he made his mind up, he new what need to be done, for good or bad, right or wrong, so two nights later Sol asks his family
"Hay I know I've been out of it, but you guys have been amazing,  I need me time, ok"
Keller flatly reply
"Not happening, this smells like bullshit"
Sol smirks raises his hands up saying
"Ok fine, but I thought 'I love you but I won't to stay up all night making this gadget', would be to fishy"
Cooper interjects asking
"Ohh what you making?"
Sol looking off deep in thought
"I was thinking a new bangle, but for parnterners. Think you two hero's, you can't always be with each other. But you don't now if they need help. A bangle that would monitor this, yeh relay back and forth, yes, maybe, hmm"
Keller chuckles relies
"Love you to, go with fishy next time, go and make you shit"
Sol smirks, kissing all them on the cheak and scarred down the hall, but his parents had fallen in is well layed plan, he stay till midnight. He spent the hours making a computer program to help with his plans for later, then spent the rest of the time dying he's hair, now a brown/blond mess, no one could tell he was Sol Jackson. Hidden under a beeny for now as he carefully going out to the lungroom with the pretens of coffee, but when there was no one around. Sol puts a note on the table that simply said
---------
Love you, sorry
----------
and made a bee line to the keys for his car, Sol's been planning for days, car already packed with what he needs, so out the door with out a second look.
Four towns over and many hours later, he didn't won't to be found, not yet.
And he had a place in mind, a camping ground long forgotten, only making a stop for fresh supply's and lunch at a 24/7 dinner, somewhere his Da took him to escape the judgements of the world, tho looking back Sol wonders what his Da was escaping from.
Sol made it to the now overgrown camp grounds, moveing some fowllonen tree trunks befor he made it to an old camping and picnic area that you could drive up to,
'family friendly and easy access'
it was promoted as, well maybe over 10 years ago. Using the old undercover picnic area, so now he had a table and a BBQ. Sol starts getting comfortable, washing his hair, so now it's back to it platam blond, pitch the tent by the edge of the concrete picknick area and finely setting up he's computer and recorder, see Sol was not going to kill himself, no, but he wasn't laying down ether.
The 'no comments' he's done with, they won't a story, they won't Sol Jackson. 
Be curfull what you wish for because Sol wasn't going to hold back, you won't truths, there's a resins why people lie and others aseptic thos lies, people are afraid of the darkness of the truth.
