“I don’t know how old you are. You’re older than me.” Mina answered quickly. “But everyone is older than me.” She smiled up at him and then skipped ahead. “You’re younger than father but I haven’t met too many that are older than him. You’re probably mother’s age if you two were friends.” 

She stopped at the bend in the path and waited for him although it didn’t take long for him to catch up. His long strides equaled almost two of hers. “You picked the right time to visit. This is the hottest time of year here.” Being so far north their summer only lasted a few weeks. “We spend most of our time outside now because winter is so long.”

[thejackmadsen]

“And you will grow up and be an excellent woman, I am sure.” Valik smiled thinking in the future what Mina could have. For sure she will be destined to something glorious because she will be just like her mother. Who much the young girl would know about his friend. “Did your mother tell you stories about her past?” Valik didn’t want to be imprudent but he has such good memories about it.

Valik took a moment to see the place... He would like to be there for a season, maybe discover the benefits of the land. Valik was in the moment of life he really wanted to see the world, know every secret. He has deeply in his soul the mark of knowledge. “Where would you like to go Mina?” He asked as he was walking. “Someday you will leave your home, and you will know the world. Where begin?”

Jana gave him a nod before standing up. “I’ll take that into consideration. Now, if you don’t mind, I have some projects I have to see to. Take care of yourself, Jack,” she bid him before heading towards the back, a deep breath escaping her lips as she disappeared.

“I don’t like hot places.” She used her telekinesis to grab a stick up from the ground as they strolled. Mina tapped the long twig against the ground as they walked in silence for a stretch. “Shouldn’t you be the teacher? Considering your age?” She looked up at him after posing the question innocently enough.

Age and power were closely linked among the Originals. As they grew in age they became more powerful, especially those living out with the humans. The man walking next to her seemed to be in his physical prime. He certainly was impressive to look at, a thought that quickly crossed her mind and made her turn away to hide the blush in her face.

[thejackmadsen]

“I learnt to live and fight with any weather, and I grew up in the middle of the dessert and inside of a tropical forest. I had to learn how manage heat.” He smiled but when Mina asked the question about his age he couldn’t avoid to explode in a laugh. Valik was doing himself the question about time since Malah let home. He had a big question about something: what is the next? What Mina was telling to him was an insinuation what the oldest men in the clan did to him but he felt he has still a lot of wars to fight.

“Do you consider me an old man?” He asked directly as he continued walking. Valik felt better than ever and he was still seeing him as a warrior who has the right and the duty to command his clan army. The idea to teach sounded to him as a retirement and that was the last thing he wanted. Not know. But he wanted to listen Mina’s perspective. The girl proved she had independence and beauty. He took a moment to see her... She will be a goddess between them, in the world. She is right now. And suddenly he was realizing what he was thinking and erased his thoughts from his head.

[azachteer-blog]

Zach sighed and rubbed his hands over his face, then raked his fingers through his hair in a smooth, frustrated motion. Locking his fingers together behind his neck, he nodded. “I know that Jack. That you aren’t my enemy,” he said softly and shook his head. He dropped his hands to his side and stepped back before sinking to the floor. Sitting with his feet flat on the floor, he rested his forearms on his knees and focused on interlocking his fingers. Maybe talking to his hands would go better? 

As had happened during the conversation about his powers, Zach’s shoulders unknotted and sagged down. Cotton balls rushed into his head, muffling the constant pounding of ‘should’ve, could’ve, didn’t.’ He sighed. “I was angry at her. She got in my face about guns. About not dealing with the shooting.” He dropped his head onto his crossed wrists. “She’s right. I hate that my chest still hurts and that I can’t walk into a room without checking for exits.” He lifted his head, staring up at the ceiling. “I hate that even remembering the good stuff–shooting with my dad or the guys on the range makes me tense. And I hate that she asked. That I lost it. I just completely,” he shook his head, swallowed. “I know I’m not dealing with it. But I can, I just. I need to be okay. I have to be okay.” He finally looked back over at Jack and even with the push keeping doubt and condemnation at bay, a hint of desperation showed in Zach’s eyes. “And Natalie knows I’m not. And when she pushed I just lost it.” 

[thejackmadsen]

For some reason Jack can understand completely to Zach. Even when he didn’t know completely his background, something showed he had a training to be a warrior. Not like him, but Zach had in his mind all the responsibility about what he should be, what he should do, and this new world, and his role into it were put him in a big test, something he was beginning to feel is more than he can handle it. What happened was Natalie touched that delicate spot, without her fault, but she did it. And he activated a defense.

In Jack’s nature the only thing what he really wanted was help. In few moments he felt he has no power, no the exactly knowledge to do his task. This was one of them. He would like Zach trusted on him without push his mind, but also he thought the young man has his own trust issues. “You want to have the control.” He said with a sigh. “And this situation, what happened in the The Abbey was far away for your control. Even now, your body and the pain is far away from you. That is the reason because you are upset.” Zach was trying to find the way to have the control of his life. But Jack learnt long time ago, he has no control in few things, not even being an original. He thought maybe he can help to Zach to find the control what he can, and understand what he can’t control. “I can teach you how manage few things, not everything. And also understand what you can’t control and how deal with it.” He added. "Natalie is dealing with her own issues and she is doing it fine. I'd like you forget what happened. In the end, that was one of the risk about what she did. In this moment the important in focus in your recover... And I am pretty sure she will be agree with me."

Jack was damn right she still had doubts. Who the hell could she trust anymore? She had no idea who was safe to be around, who she could talk openly with these days. But if Jack really was going to be true to his word and never refuse to help her, then maybe she could start putting faith back in him. All she did was nod at his words, unsure of really what to say at this point.

[thejackmadsen]

Jack thought he obtained more than he believed he could get from Jana that afternoon, and was better in that way. Put more pressure would give worst results. In the end she accepted help him and even when she was upset, she was still trying to trust on him. He could feel it. He smiled. “I understand you have nothing more to say, this situation is not good for anyone. But only keep my words in your mind: I will help you, no matter what.” He said smiling, Jana deserved a possibility to live better in this new world.

Lioness // Willa & Jack // Flashback // Closed

[willasawyer-deactivated20150925]

“You’re kidding me right?” Willa joined the dance, starting to laugh. “I’m a master at this one, you wouldn’t even have had to push me.” Who would’ve known there was an Original with a sense of humour out there? Willa was glad to have Jack as a teacher, feeling that she could relax in his presence. “Tell me that you are at least a bit impressed with my moves…” She smiled, hoping that he was at least satisfied with her control of her ability.

[thejackmadsen]

Inside, Jack was still the big tender bear about what everybody talked about. He was a person who really liked laugh, have fun and appreciate when others are capable to do it. “I like your moves.” And also your abilities, you learnt well Willa. Jack was really proud about her. I believe is time to begin other kind of training. You are ready. Jack was talking seriously. He wanted Willa, as an every single second generation rise the highest of the capacity.

[le-jana-hart]

Jana just sat there, not exactly sure how this worked so she just watched him. But she could tell when he entered her mind - hell, she could feel it and it was weird. It was uncomfortable, both physically and mentally, like he was invading her person thoughts. She wasn’t sure she liked it. Jana was glad when he was done, rubbing the side of her head and leaning back. “Is that all you came here for then?” she asked.

[thejackmadsen]

Jack was out or her mind and he had all what he wanted to see and he didn’t stay in her mind, Jana deserved more than a respect on her privacy. “No. I told you, I wanted to help you with the doubts you have. Because I am sure you still have doubts. You can come to talk with me when you want.” Jack wanted to leave the door open, even when he knew that won’t be easy at all, not only for Jana. “I will never refuse to help you.”

Mina marched out of the house and closed the door behind her. “This way.” She probably wasn’t the best tour guide considering that she’d take him to the places she wanted to go and not necessarily where he wanted, but better than nothing. 

“We’ll head to the lake and double back to the caves if you’d like.” That’s where she was heading and if he wanted the company than he could tag along as well. “Where were you before here?” Valik seemed to be a man of the world. He already informed them that he’d be heading off to China after his visit. She couldn’t imagine such freedom.

[thejackmadsen]

Valik followed Mina with slow pace. The first what he really wanted was admire the landscape, all what he can see in that short walk. He was content with the guide he had in the moment. Mina seemed just the kind of person he wanted to know, the person who he expected can do better things for the people, for their own people. Maybe she had a great destiny in her hands.

“I like the plan. In fact you are in charge.” Valik smiled to Mina, he wanted the young woman felt comfortable with the new task. With the question, he smiled. Mina was curious, she wanted to know the world. “A place close to here, called Türk. Other people called Anadolu. I was seeing a friend, a fellow warrior. I wanted to learn some of his techniques. Is a lovely place... Maybe too hot but beautiful.”

Danger! Danger! // Philip & Jack // Flashback // Closed

[icarusofhousestark]

Philip picked up his back after putting his towel around his neck.  “ That you are yes.  And I think that will suit me well “ he agreed. He would share with Nick his thoughts on this new collaboration of course, but he had a good feeling about it.  “  Now now Jack, we both know you will do more than your best, I caught your interest” he winked and  lifted his back to throw it over his shoulder.  “See you next weekend,  mister Madsen , message me location and time, I ‘ll bring the coffee…as usual “ he spoke as he started to leave,  waving at the Original . “Have a nice day. “ he added and exit the gym.

Suds // Valah (Flashback) // Closed

[alyibori]

“I know, I know, papa,” she said with a grin, laughing udner her breath. “I was only joking,” she added. Aly glanced down to Cherry and watched as the dog observed everything around her. She knew an entirely grumpy person would never take in a dog like this one. Or any dog for that matter, most likely. Glancing back over to her father, she laughed again before tsking playfully at him with a shake of her head. “It’s a secret of mine. Everyone should have their own way to put their mark on things and this is my way of doing that with training,” she explained, smiling as she looked back to the horizon. “But no, not like Anshar.”

“A show?” she asked, her grin widening into a smile. A fight between her and her father, that sounded good to her. It hadn’t happened for awhile, so she was ready for something nostalgic like that. “I like that idea. It’s been too long since we fought each other. It could be beneficial for those watching, too,” she added, nodding her head slowly. “We can talk it all out tonight. I cleared my night so I can spend it with you,” she said before pushing off from the railing and starting to move back inside her father’s room. She had no problem spending all night here, talking and planning with him. It would be the perfect way to spend her time.

[thejackmadsen]

“I am not sure how you did it, but even when they fear you, they want to train with you and that is enough for me. Is only what I care.” Jack couldn’t feel most proud of his daughter. She was... Everything he desired, for sure. And also, the only person he felt he can trust completely. He knew what happened with Mina weakened his position, and also he believed the second generation were unpredictable in the end. Not all of them trusted on him and he began to discover he was tired from a lot of situations. Aly was his hope, what he can’t do, she will do it of course.

“Yes. They will like to see me beating your ass. Because that was exactly what will happen.” Jack knew Aly liked the idea to an honest fight, without not advantage, only to show what they know. “Deal. We can see if we share a meal or something. If I find good stakes I will do something for you, as the old times.” He smiled. Old times... everything changed a lot and he was not sure about his future. But Aly was close to him and that is the only what matters.

Born In Fire // Valah // Flashback

[alyibori]

She looked at him when he asked her his question, not expecting it to happen. Her eyes narrowed a bit in thought, feeling a little caught off guard by it. Who did she want to be? She had a feeling her father didn’t mean a profession, especially since he said ‘who’ and not ‘what’. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it after a moment when she realized she didn’t really know.

Malah moved slightly closer to her father, not sure if he was still too upset with her to have her near him. Some of her fire had died down a bit when he had asked her his question, her confusion overtaking some of her rebellion. “I only…want to be Malah. I want people to like me. I want to be a good person, a person that can make others laugh,” she started to say, but she didn’t feel satisfied by her answer. She wanted to be liked, of course. But there was something else. “I want to be someone that people like in the way people like you,” she said after staying silent for several moments.

[thejackmadsen]

The ambient on the conversation changed. He believed what Malah did was only the tantrum of a teenage girl. But she was expressing concerning about life, her life. Be an original is not easy as everybody thinks, because time has the tendency to change everything, to put everything on perspective. Valik only could smile in the last phrase, when she expressed she wanted be like him. But she didn’t want exactly to be a soldier. Valik didn’t see himself as a loved original, he only was obsessed with do his work properly, nothing more.

“You told a lot of things Malah. I like you want to be good person, do good things for others. But about people like you... I believe you know is impossible to like everybody.” He thought even between them, the clans. Not everybody approved the way he treated his army. Also, the answer of his daughter was so vague. “I believe you need to see the world from your eyes, without me.” The words were harder to say. “That will give you the freedom to be what you want.” He never separated from his girl since he took Malah in his care, but she wanted to grow, even when she was not ready to see how painful will be.

Shake It Out // Jack & Ivan // Flashback

[voice-symphony]

“Jack, I’ll always trust you.” He nipped his bottom lip, smiling again to him. “I see you like a father figure, one I never had, so I trust you. I’ve trusted you since you first helped me out, Jack. It means the world to me that you’ve done so much for me and I want to do all I can for you.” Ivan explained, smiling to Jack in order to show that he was telling the truth. “Jack, if anyone would be on your side for as long as they live that isn’t your daughter… that would be me. There is no doubt about it.” With a nod, he gestured between them lightly in order to indicate he was talking about them both. “We’re all in this together and I couldn’t be more proud to know that I am trained by the best.”

[thejackmadsen]

“Be careful with your words...” He said with a smile. “Aly in the end is an original. But I feel grateful listening, listening all what you said.” Jack didn’t want the second generation see on him a father. He had enough experience with all what happened with Aly when she was growing up. And Jack in that time discovered be a father is not easy... Even he doubted in moments if he was a good father for his girl. But find trust and confidence in one of them is a big change. “So, we can see how you can help me with the trainings... But the first you need is sleep. Tell me what is affecting you.”
