Chapter ten

Nezha's POV:

He looked at the woman before him, the blood running through his veins going hot.

"What did you just say?' He asked quietly, stepping closer to Iron Fan.

"You heard me, that fire, that wretched fire made because he was born, burning my insides when I was pregnant with him. I am so happy that he can't use it, can't use the fire that was made for him. He doesn't deserve it, no one does!"

"... Take it back, he's your son"

"I don't care, he only gave me pain. And after my darling was taken away from me I was left with him.... That monster, every day I had to see his face. See him grow older, his power coming back to him! You-"

Nezha grabbed her by the neck, gripping it tightly.

"How dare you touch my wife like that, you-"

"I wouldn't talk, Bull. If you know what's coming for you. Gongzhu..."

"...Yes, Nezha?",she asked timidly, coughs racking from her body.

"That boy is your son. You will act like it or not have him! Your son is the most loyal, smart person you will ever meet in your life. Treat him with respect and love just as he does to you. His potential is great and it will not be smothered by you and selfish, arrogant ways"

"..."

"And you-" He threw Gongzhu on the floor, charging at DBK.

"You just sit and watch your wife abuse your child?"

"... I-"

"You're going to make excuses?! Huh? Are you not ashamed of yourselves!" He demanded, pointing at him.

"I'm disappointed Gongzhu, DBK, I'm disappointed.... *Sigh* this was nothing I wanted but it has come to this. I am going to cheek on Redson. You two think on how to apologise to him"

...

"Redson open the door"

"... Gēge? Are you okay?" Red asked quietly, opening the door. He looked like a mess, his hair a mess, bags under his eyes. Dried tears dirted his face.

"How are you Redson?"

"I- I'm ok, I guess?"

"That's good, may I come in?"

"Yeah, of course!" Redson led the way into his large bedroom, collapsing onto his bed. Nezha followed suit.

"Congratulations on you getting engaged to Wukong's successor"

"Thank you gēge. I'm so happy! ... Um, I heard you shout at mother and father. They didn't hurt you did they?"

"Of course not, how could they?"

"Yeah, I was stupid to think that. Gēge did you mean when you said I had potential?"

"Dìdi, believe me when I say that you have potential. I've known you since you were a baby, even then your power was crazy and even if the Samadhi fire has been taken from you, your power has just grown and grown and... I... saw myself in you and... still do" He stopped himself from talking, tears starting to fill his eyes.

He will not cry, not in front of Redson, no infront of anyone! He was the third lotus prince, Nezha, he-

"It's okay to cry gēge, I cried a lot when MK said he loved me, it's okay to cry because your emotions are conflicting. You're angry and sad and confused. I had to learn this the hard way but... it's okay"

"... See, you get smarter and smarter everyday I see you. I'm so proud of you dìdi"

And with that they hugged, embracing in their conflicting emotions.
