""Where There Is Breath, There Is Hope""

Laura gave her brother a slight smile with a look that said "Please take the deal bother. Let us help you move on." She wasn't sure if he was actually going to take Kouen's offer. Blind Vengeance was a heck of a drug at times she was not blind to that fact. She had a bone to pick with Romulus after all, and then above him was Kimura, but still there was more to life than just vengeance. She had to live her own life and pursue her own goals and on top of that, there were other people out there. No amount of vengeance would ever undo the wrongs done to them real or perceived, the only thing that could be done is to move forward... and help people so that none would suffer the way they had. She hoped someday Daken would be able to see through Romules's lies and understand that...someday. "Hey Uncle Kouen, if you need something to do I can always use some help kicking butt. I work with the FBI and Homeland Security to help get the worst of the worst of the street. Drug Dealers, Sex traffickers that sort of thing. Think you'd be interested?"

Daken was confused at the pair of them. He never was the brightest one. He looked at Kouen then back at Laura whilst crossing his arms and leaning against the wall a wince crossed his face. He muttered under his breath.
"I tried talking!"
It was true, he had tried talking to the Bast*** but that was mid fighting. Despite his healing there were some areas that still hurt. He knew the other two would have heard his words but it was the thought that counted. As for calling the kid Uncle he shook his head.
"This family is weird!"
He thought about the options that were there. He could do with finding out if his 'dear' father had figured out who he was yet or not. Hopefully the injury he had given him had left him reeling slightly. Maybe, just maybe the ignorant man would acknowledge him! If not then he would just sink his claws into the man again This time, though, he would have to cope with the other two.... He had nothing better to do.
"Ok."
Was all he said as he pushed off the wall the flinch was there again but a little more subtle..
"I know where 'e'll be. After... I gotta find a katana."

Kouen looked between the two mutants, they both must have had a hard life, but it was their lives to make count. He took a bite of his Kit-Kat, almost choking with laughter when Luara called him Uncle. It sounded weird but at the same time not bad. Though, it was strange having a niece who was the same age as him and a nephew who was older. Well, nothing to do about it but be a good Uncle, or at least a better person than his 'brother' was.
"That actually sounds fun, Luara. Be happy to help with a few jobs here and there, get to know you both better. Besides, criminals usually have free money."
While he talked to Luara, his eyes never left Daken. He saw the winces of pain, the shift of the body away from where it hurt, the smell of blood still lingered even after the wound closed. It hung around like old copper. He relaxed more when he heard Daken finally agree to talk to Logan, Kouen nodded as he pushed off the wall.
"Well then, since you know where he is, I say no time like the present. Let's go meet Dear Logan and figure out all of this. And Daken, no attacking as soon as you see him. We are going to talk not fight, no yelling or arguing. Let everyone tell their story how they saw it and then we will go from there."
Yep, he was falling into the uncle role quite quickly.

Laura could not hlep but feel a bit of pity for Daken. He was so much older than either Laura or Kouen, and yet she and him were pratically adults in kid bodies, yet Daken was seemingly a full-grown adult with the maturity of a child. Aside from praying for him and guiding him where she could, she didn't know what else she could do.
"Maybe we can just call him and have him meet us at a diner. IHOP is always good." hearing her uncle talk she had to admit that yes, he was in fact fitting into this role rather well.
"So uncle, After we get our...family drama out of the way, then what do we want to do. There are plenty of places in New York I can show you around. Or, if you'd be interested I could show you Texas, that's primarly where I work out of."

Daken frowned heavily when he was told off by his... grrr! A kid was telling him what to do! His fists clenched on his crossed arms. He didn't know if he was able to just talk to the man. His jaw clenched. No yelling or arguing that was not going to be easy.
"He won't believe me!"
His frown softened and looked at Laura then back to Kouen.
"I'm not calling you uncle! Nephew fine."
He curled his lips at the idea of the joke of revers roles.
"Kid most likely."
His stomach rumbled at the thought of food. It had been a little since he was able to eat food. He didn't mean to skip meals but he had to have time healing. A meal would be good.
"He's most likely at the mansion where I met you last Laura. If you got way of contacting him feel free but don't mention I'm here or he won't come."

Kouen nodded at Luara. "I like the idea of food; I am starved and been eating fruit all day. People really leave those out front of their stores. It is easy to just take a few."
At her question he considered what he was going to do afterward. He hadn't really planned to be in this situation and it kind of happened. For all the people to run into in New York it would be the offspring of the man he was cloned from. He wasn't sure if it was fate, destiny, or just luck whether good or bad it had yet to be determined. So, when asked he though it over.
"Well, I was in Texas just a few months ago so would like to explore this city a little bit if you don't mind showing me around. Don't really have a destination or really any sense of a direction. I came here because I heard there were a lot of people like me in this city, people capable of doing things."
He turned to Daken, a smile showing and a flash of his sharp canines. "Technically if I am a clone that makes me closer to a brother of his than a child so Uncle would actually be correct, but if it makes you feel better than sure, Kid. Or you can be a grown up and call me by my name. Kouen."
