Mykal/Sousei's POV

 The others having already left with promises to see us on Monday at the club.Looking towards Javier I say, "Your welcome to stay Javier, so we can talk some more, totally up to you. Yes, I know that means you stay, Wayra," he nods at me, causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach.

Commanding I tell BRAT, "Brat, qeylIS Protocol disengage (Disengage God Protocol)". Listening silently as the metal coverings went up uncovering the windows and doors.

 He looks at me with an unreadable expression as he asks, "Well, what are we going to talk about now?"  

Leading the way into the living room answer him with, "Well, I figured that you had questions about the things we talked about previously".

Watching as  Wayra  sits down on one of the couches, while starring at the walls.

He responds from behind me with, "Yes, I have a few questions".

Without looking at him as the cold feeling of unease grows in my gut say, "Figured you would want to discuss this privately without possible interruption. Give me a moment and then we can talk". 

Inquiringly I ask, "Brat are all doors secure and closed?"

"Yes, Dammy," Brat responds to which then I give the command, "qeylIS Protocol tagh (T: Initiate God Protocol)" causing all the metal covers to descend recovering all the windows and doors. Falling down onto the couch, swallowing at seeing Javier's stiff posture as he touches the covers, go on and say softly, "I'm ready"

Walking over to stand in front of me, angrily he asks, "What is your real name and date of birth?"

Trying to hide my feelings as for the first time since meeting him answer truthfully, keep my voice monotonous while saying, "My birth name, I have no clue. My true date of birth though is January 4, 1991". Hoping I am making the right decision feel a lump in my throat as I say, "My adoptive father's name is Tatsou Tenjin, and my adoptive dad's name is Hiroaki Cho'Kama. They named me at the age of three Sousei Cho. But when I entered USTC at 7 years old, I changed Cho to Long to make my name more Chinese to fit in. So I then became Dr. Sousei Long, Please do not do a background check. It will bring to your door step those that are after me. I am willing to give you any and all information about me" my vision growing blurry at the incredulous look on his face.

Taking a deep breath watching his face say, "I kept it until the kidnapping".

Only to calm down as while seeing the sadness shining from his eyes. Quickly to keep him from saying anything I go on to say, "That's when I decided to hide in plain sight. Pretending to be a college student, living a normal....," pausing only to shrug.

Looking away, then back at him as I  continue, "Well semi-normal life, since my parents won't let me cut off ties to them. All of the background for Mykal Smithenson, I created three years ago and just added the military portion".

Javier smiles at me as he asks, "Why are you answering our questions with the truth, so easily?"

Sighing while sitting back up, look towards the ceiling for the answer, finally respond with, "If we are to get into a relationship, like you keep hinting at. It won't work without complete honesty on my part. Like I told you earlier today on the phone, I FEEL attraction towards you".
