Reiki's POV.

"You know rather then just staring, you can go and talk it out with her." A voice behind me reminds.

"Look who's talking." I tease with a smirk.

I laugh when I hear him grumbling.

"Really Dad?" I ask.

My father still looks a bit surprised but laughs along with me.

"Let's talk." He simply tells me. And who am I to refuse him. We take a seat at a vacant table.

"So tell me something about you." He smiles gently.

"Well. I'm 17 years old and a heavenly body magic user. But thanks to my Mom, I know how to weild swords too." I smile back when he looks surprised.

"You're a heavenly body magic user? Just- Just like me?" He asks, this time happily.

"Yes." I nod at his question. He looks happy there.

"So? What is up with you and Mom?" He goes still at my question. I sigh.

"I - I .... Can I be honest with you?" He sighs. I haven't seen that look in his eyes for a long time.

"Can I tell you a secret?" I continue when he nods. "All the guys here are Mama's boys. Except for me. I've always been a Papa's boy." I wink.

He shakes his head as he chuckles.

"I can see that!" He laughs.

"I - I .... I have done many bad things in my life, Reiki. For so many years, all I've tried to do is to atone for my sins. But I can never forget what I've done to Erza. I broke her trust. I-I k-killed Simon." He whispers the last part.

"I know." I calmly tell him. He looks shocked at my response. But that one look that passes his eyes breaks my heart. Fear.

"Do you know why I'm the closest with you?" I ask. I continue when he keeps silent. " It's because you never hid anything from me. You were always honest. You told me what you did to Mom and Uncle Simon. And yes. Those are bad things."

"But you can't find atonement untill you forgive yourself first. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes. What's really important is to take lesson from it, forgive yourself and move on. After everything, you need to live for those who faught for you." I smile.

He looks up surprised at my words.

"I could never hate you. You are my Hero. But you need to forgive yourself too. And you might think that you don't deserve any of these. But you do. We need you." By the time I'm finished he has that far off look on his face.

"We do. We really do need you." Someone pats my shoulder.

"Erza?" Dad questions.

Mom smiles beautifully before taking a seat beside me.

"I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way." Mom says as she takes my hand in hers.

"What? No mom." I hurriedly answer.

"I think you guys should talk." I say when I see them looking at eachother.

"And you should talk too. She was quite fearless." I blush when mom winks at me.

I leave the table with those feelings that I remember feeling the day Dad told us the truth.

Now to focus on my problem. I sigh.

Storm's POV.

Where is she? Syl, where are you?

"Hey! Kid, what happened?" Dad asks, rounding his arm around my shoulder.
