Axel's p.o.v:

        I couldn't help but feel paranoid walking through the park. I'm not alone, Reno's walking next to me, half snuggling half protecting me. Given the whole 'my dad wants to utterly obliterate me' thing, I'm not surprised Elena didn't join us. I'm still getting her ice cream though, so she won't feel left out (cuz I care about my friends and boyfriends coworkers who can kill people with a push pin.) I fiddled with my mesh arm warmers (counterproductive but they look cool), turning up the music a bit on my iPod and sighing softly at the relaxation starting to flow into my veins through my headphones. 

I nudged Reno's arm, cuddling him tighter when he looked over. "Reno?"

Reno immediately grew concerned, wrapping his arms around me further. "Is something wrong?"

I let a wide smile spread across my face. "We passed the ice cream guy again."

Reno made an 'of course' face, reaching for his wallet while I dragged him back towards the cart. "I meant ta stahp ya but ya looked so at peace I didn' wanna startle ya."

I couldn't resist bouncing in my spot, beaming while we walked up to the ice cream guy's cart. "Can I have all of it?"

Reno gave me the look parents do when their child asks if they can have a pony. "Not all of it, I don't want you losing teeth."

I mewled sadly. "Okay..."

Reno tilted my head up and cooed softly, kissing my nose. "Don't worry, we have more at the house, you can have more then okay babyboy?"

I grinned wide, taking the cone of chocolate goodness while Reno paid for it. "Okay."

Reno wrapped an arm around my shoulder, kissing my cheek. "You are so cute."

I grinned, licking some ice cream that was starting to drip down my chin. "I know."

Reno laughed and pulled out his phone, snorting out a laugh at his screen. "I swear Elena can read your mind."

I turned to look at Reno, licking my fingers of my ice cream. "What do you mean?"

Reno took his phone out again and showed me his screen. "Elena just texted me and asked if we could get her an ice cream sandwich."

I nodded and turned back to the ice cream guy, paying for a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. "I remember she loves chocolate chip stuff."

"Aww, aren't you such a sweetheart?"

I felt myself blanch hearing such a suave yet creepily familiar voice. Emphasis on the creepy.

Reno stepped in front of me while the figure stepped out from a shadow, sauntering his way over before stopping mid-way, gleams of silver twirling between his fingers. "Ah so you must be the Reno my son adores with all his heart."

I let out a growl, trying to push past Reno, mainly so I could punch him straight in his face. "James you need to stop this bullshit!"

James cackled quietly, trailing a hand through his hair. "Aww what's the matter Axel? I'm not your dearest Daddy anymore?"

I cracked my knuckles, showing restraint to prepare myself. "The only thing you are to me is a psychopathic pedophile that should be gunned down and thrown in a cell to never see the light of day!"

Reno wasted no time drawing a blade, from where I don't know and have learned to not ask, taking on a fighting stance as well. "Axel, don't let him get to you like this! It will only end badly!"

James inched closer, his footsteps strangely quieted. "And you said you'd never be like me, never resort to violence to solve your problems..." He closed the gap between us, stroking the side of my face. "Yet here you are in my spitting, delectable image..."

I kicked him straight in his balls, smirking when he fell to his knees, resisting the urge to kick him again. "I will never be like you. I will never rape my own children, I will never inflict any sort of abuse to any of my relationships, and i most certainly will not try to kill anyone who has committed a crime against me simply by existing."

A police officer ran up to Reno and I while another came up and pulled James up from the ground. "Is everything okay here gentleman-" the officer stopped and gave me a double take. "Axel? Axel Flynn?"

I shrunk away a bit, nodding while I did so. "Yes Sir."

He glanced at the wounds on my dad, then glanced at Reno and I, motioning to the one holding my dad who let him go, then turned Reno around and cuffed him instead. 

The officer with my dad attached the cuffs back on his belt. "Sir, you are free to go. We're sorry about this inconvenience."

He turned and looked at me with a sickeningly vicious sweetness. "Mr. Sinclair will be coming with us, you may go home Mr. Flynn."

Reno looked at the two officers with a frightened expression. "Wait where the hell am I going? Somebody bother explain---"

A yelp escaped me hearing the cuffs on his wrists tighten. "Shut it you worthless fag. We've been out searching for you forever, for all the drugs you sold, all the shit you stole, kidnapping this man's son, alias after alias but we finally have you."

Reno tried to struggle, but ultimately failed feeling a taser--his own EMR-- shoved into his side, silencing him immediately. "Say goodbye Mr. Sinclair, you're never seeing your little boytoy or the light of day anytime soon."

I collapsed to my knees, seeing Reno being dragged to the car, feeling my father brush my shoulder. "I give you an A for effort at least, but you know we'll be seeing each other soon..."

My head sank into my hands while he walked away. 'What the hell is going on?'
