Dear Daughter [TomTord]

Welcome Home/Discord

+Norway: Red Army Base+

The three of them walk down the stairs together, all soldiers greeting them with salutes until Tom told them to ease themselves. Tika no doubt feeling the stares she is receiving from the soldiers wearing red and blue.

Zack comes up to Tom smiling welcomingly. "Welcome back Blue. The red medical staff, some scientists, and Red just left to take Torm to the private lab to see if they can fix his eyes up." He informs with some pity for his leader.

"Thanks for informing me Zack." Tom thanks gratefully. He then gestures to his daughter to introduce her to him. "Zack, I'd like you to finally meet my daughter Tika."

The raven hair man looks down at Tika who looks back at him. He smiles and holds his hand out to her, "Please call me Zack young lady." He politely shakes her hand when she puts her hand on his.

"T-Tika, please to meet you sir." Tika says back in a quick pace since she's nervous.

Zack lightly chuckles at her shyness. "She's got a lot to learn Blue." Knowing Tika is going to be polite with him and everyone else here. She's gonna learn that they're all friends and won't need formalities, well in the blue group that is.

"I know, but Tomi and Torm will have to show her the ropes since Red Leader and I will busy for the next few weeks. I also have to reschedule another meeting with the Italian president because of this event." Tom sighs shaking his head in disappointment.

Tomi unhooks his arms with Tika's to hold her hand instead. "Can I take Tikky around the base now?"

"Sure honey, but make sure to stay out away from the soldiers working. Also we're having dinner later around 6 or 7 so don't be late." He pats his daughter and son on the head before letting them go their own way.

"Okay!" Tomi looks back at Tika with a fanged grin, "Come on Tikky, I've got lots to show you before dinner."

"Ah, bye Mr. Tom, Mr. Zack!" She says as Tomi enthusiastically takes her away towards the base.

"I assume she's still trying to get use to calling you mom?"

Tom nods as he crosses his arms. "I mean I don't mind since she hasn't known me long enough yet. She has her own pace to catch up anyways. I don't want to force her into calling a 'stranger' she hasn't seen in 16 years, mom."

The trusted soldier and leader watch them enter the base safely. Tomi looks absolutely excited while Tika looks a little awkward about exploring an unfamiliar territory.

"Besides, she has all the time in the world to get to know us now."

+With Tord+

Tord stood behind some of his scientists controlling the levels of Torm's medical tank across from them. His son stripped down to his underwear and floating weightlessly in the light blue water. There are two doctors with Amy standing close to Torm's tank making notes of his health and any sight of change that may occur while he's inside.

"How are the readings so far?" Tord asks while keeping his eye on his son.

"His health levels are fine sir. However, the readings indicate the burns on his eyes are barely healing. It's only healing around the wounded area, but his eyes aren't making much of an improvement." Sera informs as she watches the levels on the screen of the control pad.

Joe looks back at his leader with a questionable expression. "What should we do sir?"

The leader in red hums in thought. If anything, Torm might have to use the same device Tom wears on over his eyes to help him see again. Meaning he'll have to make more tampered visors for both Tom and Torm in case they somehow glitch or break.
