Mark smiled as he looked out the window, but heard someone open the door behind him. "What are you doing my love?" Angel asked, walking up, mark smiled, looking over his shoulder. Mark spotted someone hanging onto Angel's hand, he knelt down and smiled, lowering himself down to come eye to eye with his same eyes. Long blonde hair and a cute nose. "Hey Morgan." He said, Morgan giggled and broke away from her mother, embracing Mark.

"HI DADDY!" She laughed, Mark turned and stood back up, moving Morgan to his shoulder and pulling Angel to his side. They looked out the window, and found a new base, Sanctuary, the new home of the Black Legion, it's huge base expanding and covering much of the planet's surface. Even from here he could see The different colored buildings, the huge bases in each quarter, the fields of crops in the northern quarter.  The huge base spread out covering the surface, in marks eye, it was a cleaner earth, but with simply less wildlife, that would have troubled him, but nearby on the moons, different terrains were perfect for different species.

"We've done good Honey." Angel said, laying her head on Mark's shoulder.

"Yeah, we did." Mark said, smiling, and turning away.

Mark scanned the room, but didn't find what he was looking for.
"Where is he." Mark asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Well." Angel started, looking away.

"Angel, where is Leo?" Mark said, turning to look at her.

"In the clinic again, but Mark it's not his fault th-." Mark stormed out of the room, over to an elevator, and waited.

When the elevator stopped. Mark stepped out and reached down, tapping his bracelet, armor spread rapidly, covering his body within seconds. He pressed a button on his left wrist and waited as he heard the roar of an engine. A small one-person vehicle stopped in front of him, the look and size of a motorcycle. Mark kicked his leg over the vehicle and placed his left hand against the keyhole, and the engine roared again. Mark reached down, grabbing the handle and turning the right one, the bike burst into the air and Mark weaved around cars and ships, he turned down a familiar road, landing and parked. A group of soldiers met him at the door.

"Sir, go easy on him, it wasn't his fault." Wash begged, opening the door.
"I'll decide that Commander, move." Mark growled, moving inside and looking to one of the nurses, she pointed to a room and then looked back to her desk.

Mark grabbed the door handle, but stopped short, he needed to control himself. He took a deep breath and cleared his head. Then he turned the handle. A mirror image of himself met him. An ice pack secured to his right eye. He looked to Mark, then his eyes shifted down in shame.
"What did he break." Mark asked lowly, the doctor handed him a chart, he looked at it, and a smile crept over his lips, one of his knuckles had a tooth in it, and one was covered in someone else's blood. But he had a broken rib, a broken nose, a minor concussion, and a black eye. All that had been healed within minutes, thanks to medicine that the Black Legion pioneered. Still, he shouldn't have gotten in a fight. That's what he was frustrated about.
"Leave us." Mark said, the doctor saluted Mark, and exited.

Mark pulled up a chair and sat, thinking how he should start.
"Dad listen! This kid deserved it, he was bullying little kids! I-" "Quiet." Mark said, Leo shut his mouth, his eye pleading with him.

"You always are getting in fights Leo, it's not right." Mark said, his armor changing back into the bracelet on his wrist.

"I know dad, I know, but I wanted to-" Mark silenced him with a glare.

"Wanted to show that you are a man now? Sixteen years old, and your all of the sudden a man?" Mark asked his temper flaring.

"No, I mean yes I am a man but no, I didn't want to show it by fighting!" Leo said.
