Where am I? The HOSPITAL?! (Invite Only)

Pain was tempted to light a cigarette, digging his left hand into his pocket and fishing around for the pack he always kept on him. He gripped the pack in his hand, but did not pull it out, even though he could get away with anything, it was a little disrespectful to light up in a hospital. He released the pack, but kept his hand lazily resting in his pocket. “Shouldn’t curse so much..” The Big Guy said with his bright blue eyes fixed upon his apparent daughter. The first bit of parenting he ever got to give, and it was rather odd for him. He had no faith in himself as a father, but he still wanted to try his best to be a decent one. Pain was a good man, he was just not that good with people, and was terrible with expressing emotions. At least he wasn’t the only one, his daughter seemed even worse off than him; he saw more and more the similarities he shared with her. “Sup?” Was simply all he stated in reply to her, he was a laid back guy of few words.

Pain found it odd that Sean was here, he still didn’t understand why or what purpose he had here. He gave him a respectful nod when he was greeted, but what he said next was rather strange. The Big Guy figured it was a bad joke or something, but the way he said it just sounded off. “Now’s not a good time for jokes, Sean.” Pain said calmly with a cold and brief look from his piercing blue eyes. As Scarlet came walking towards him, he stepped aside so that she could walk through the doorway, but what she uttered to him on the way out did nothing but cause confusion. Pain did not say anything to her and briefly raised his brow, why would he talk to both of them? He was here to see his daughter, not hang out with a member of his team. He simply shook his head and shrugged that off as he took his spot in front of the door once again. One legged kicked up against the door as he stood there in a slouch, one hand dug into his pocket, the other hanging lazily at his side. “Sean.” Pain stated calmly as his eyes darted over to him. “Gimme’ a moment alone with her.” He was still unaware that Sean was his son, but even if he did know, he would’ve asked for the same thing. Pain wanted to speak to his daughter alone.

A sort of silent anger coursed through his mind. A joke? He thought this was a joke? Who the fuck made a joke like that? Never had Sean felt the urge to beat someone senseless than now. Snide comments bubbled up within him. Threatening to come out. Like daggers aimed true. Yet Paine stopped him from doing so. Disarmed the fury that wanted to flow over. "Yeah sure Becca." he said softly. Looking for her wallet. Rummaging until he found it. Tapping his index finger lightly against it. His lips curled into a snarl at Pain as he made his way around the man. Doing his best not to even brush past him. As he made his way to the multiple vending machines. Perusing the selection. Wondering what he should get. Sean didn't exactly know his sisters preferences in junk food. Though he had to know. Didn't want to get her something she didn't like. That would most definatly suck. So he decided to just get her something simple. Two twix's and a bag of cool ranch doritos. Hoping she didn't like any of the things he got. Inserting the dollar bills as the food fell to the machine bottom with a clunk. Pulling them from the machine. Returning to the spot of where Paine's room was. As he leaned against the wall across where the room was. Keeping his grayish eyes on the door. Which was now closed. Waiting for him to be allowed back in. Hopefully everything was sorted out. That would've been a great help. Though times like these made Sean consider taking up smoking.

I need this topic to be posted back to, soon. :]

"So… Now what?"

Pain had no clue himself, he stood at his daughters bedside, not having any idea what to say to her. After everything that had happened, and all the years he never knew her, he felt like nothing he could possibly say would fix anything. He had to muster up something, he owed her that much. “I’m not so good at hospital visits..” Hesitation overtook him and silence filled the room, his eyes darted around in search of the right words to say, and eventually he overcame it and forced out the words. “Kid…I…” He stopped to bring his right hand to his face, covering his face with it and rubbing nervously. His hand slid down to his chin, rubbing it as he spoke again. “I never meant to hurt you.. I’m sorry for bein’ so rough on you, but you were with Chaos and I-..” Pain’s nervous hand travelled to the back of his neck, rubbing it instead as he continued. “I ain’t gonna make excuses, but..” The Big Guy let his hand fall and moved his icy blue eyes to match his daughters, they felt identical to his. “I’m sorry you never had your old man around. I know what that’s like, and I’m sorry for ever puttin’ you through that.”

Pain’s guilt flooded and crushed his heart, he couldn’t help but continue, not even giving her a chance to speak. “I’m sorry for not bein’ there.. I- I shoulda’ known. I shoulda….” His eyes fell from her and to the floor. “Damn it..” Despite the fact he was never told, he continued to blame himself for everything. It was just his nature to put everything on his shoulders. His expression held an obvious sadness, but he easily fought back the tears that so desperately tried to escape him. It was easy for him to fight off emotions, just difficult to actually deal with them. “I-I understand…" Pain lifted his eyes up to meet hers once again, trying to assure her his words were genuine. ” I understand if you hate me.”

And with that, Pain decided to take his leave, turning away from her and walking towards the exit. He stopped just before reaching the door, the Big Guy had to let her know one more thing. “But just so you know.” He turned his head to look and speak over his shoulder. “You’re family kid, and I do love you." Pain turned his head back and pushed open the door, saying as he exited. “Don’t let anyone tell you different.” The Big Guy walked past Sean and Scarlet without a word, not even a glance. He didn't want to talk, he didn't feel like doing anything right now. Nothing but losing sobriety and passing the hell out.


((OOC: This is my last post unless someone chases Pain down, which I don't mind someone doing, but Pain probably would.))

"I guess so," Scar started uneasily, she wasn't really sure what her relationship with him was. They slept together, lived together, but neither of them had said the relationship word and she wasn't sure if she wanted to say it, encase he suddenly closed up and backed off. Whatever they were they were working and Scar was happy with it, for now at least. She'd take what she could. When Brock walked out with that dull look on his face Scarletta groaned slightly to herself. He had that look as if he wanted to bury himself in a deep dark hole full of alcohol.
"I should go after him... It's hard to get him out of these holes when he digs himself in. Listen hun, I know you think he might not care but once he knows he'll protect you with his life, it'll probably just take him a while to get there and come to terms with it. I know you may think that's bad but it's how he goes unfortunately..." she smiled slightly then gently patted him on the shoulder, handing him her card, one she kept for freelancing journalism but it had her number on it.
"Here, if you need me or him, call me," she stood up and then ducked into the room. "Darling I've gotta shoot before your dad drinks himself into oblivion," she moved over to her and passed her the ice chips before checking her over again.
"You know how to contact me if you need me sweetheart, even if it's to bring you some clothes," she glanced up at Sean and nodded slightly. "You're in good hands with your brother, bye sweetheart," she kissed the girls cheek in a friendly manner then dashed out the door after Brock before he found a bar.


[ OOC: Scar is out enjoy the post (: ]

Sean thought over what she said, eyes narrowing into slits. So in essence she was dating him, just didn't want to admit it? Water in the bottle slowly, but surely settling down back to a more placid state. Eyes returning to a greyish color, as he held onto his bottom lip with a sharp incisor. Though it didn't bite into his lower lip, just holding it into a lopsided snear, smile. Eyes quickly darting over to Pain, who didn't even spare a passing glance. Hands clenching into tightly wound fist's. The man wouldn't even look at him. How would someone take that? Their own father not even looking at them, even if he didn't really know him. It caused a quick, yet sharp pang, like a hole. What Scar said made it no better. He wanted to punch the wall. Punch it so hard that it would just break, just to break something. He didn't know it he was angry, or just hurt. "Well, Becca, i'm going to head out. Call me if you need anything." Sean said trying to sound strong, though his voice cracked once. The only give away he wasn't completely together.

With a simple waving motion he walked from the room, trying not to break down. Each step felt like it resounded through his ears, water bottle still clutched in his hand. Fingers threatening to bite into the plastic. Sean quickly made his way down to ground level, as his hand crushed the bottle in half. Though the water kept off his skin, and clothes. Water falling to the ground, forming small puddles. People looked , but quickly turned the other way. "Why am I not suprised?" A muttered whisper came from between clenched lips, water snaking along cold, dirty sidewalk. He just didn't care. Now the only refuge seemed to be the bottle, and he was unsure when he would resurface.
