Raph
I walk into the living room- Nova and Summer are both listening to Dusk read.
"Ewo Daddy!" Summer says, knocking her drink of squash flying to the floor. She giggles. "Oopsie. Can I have cookie?"
"After dinner," I say. "It's pasta tonight. "
"No. I want it now!" she demands, stomping her foot. "Nova does too."
"But Daddy swaid afwer dinner," Nova says, not really helping his sister's point but helping my argument. The twins sit at the table eating, finally they're occupied so I can talk to Dusk without him using them as a distraction.
"Dusk. We have an issue," I say. He looks up from the cup of tea. "Someone released Sombra."
"What idiot did that?" he asks, frowning slightly.
"Well... you worked for him," I point out- he flinches slightly at the reminder, frown becoming more noticable. "You might know who supports him."
"Not a clue," he replies, gnawing his lip again. "No one smart would work for or support him. Anyway. I'd better go...somewhere."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? Sunset and I both think now is the worst possible time for you to go at anything alone. There's this creep and Sombra."
"Which is exactly why I should go," he says, quietly. "Knowing me will just cause you issue after issue. What if one of you gets hurt because of the creep?"
"You nearly stopped Sombra singlehandedly. You only lost because you didn't want to kill. You did the fire forcefield which took Venom out. You can handle this creep," I counter.
He scoffs.
"Because that went so well when he broke in," he mutters. "If I leave they can do what they want to me and leave you all alone."
"When will you realise you matter to. Besides. Sombra doesn't like us either. You leaving won't change that. Any extra defence for Summer and Nova would be good." I added that last line because I knew that Dusk is too good hearted for it to not have some affect.
He sighs.
"Fine. Good point," he says. "I just don't want anyone getting hurt becsuse of me. I've screwed up enough by working for Sombra- I can't take much more bad things on my conscience."
