"just like your mother." Raphael said coldly. He was not in a mood to be tested by his daughter, it did not matter who she thought either of them was.
Mazarus backed up humbly, he was still lost and looked to Jasmine and Iada for a little help.
Raphael took a step forewards daring Amelia to try something. "I kills me to watch him touch you, call you his daughter..."

"Why don't you die already old man," Amelia growled limping a few steps back her eyes glowing dangerously not letting her guard down, "And don't talk about my mother, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have come here, I just wanted some questions answered and I'm attacked by ragamuffins!"
"No one else boss," Iada said porting back into the room next to Marazus and patting him on the shoulder.

"sit down." Raphael ordered gruffly. He turned his back and went into the kitchen, dinner was almost done and he didn't want anything to burn. He finished quickly placing it all onto plates to be brought out for the assembled party.
Mazarus looked up at his two companions.

"A bird told me she was coming Raphael. Why do you think I am here. Another great war is coming. You should sit with her and talk to her. She does not know everything yet. En Sabah Nur lied to her Raphael." Sef said informing Raphael that his anger was unjust.
Sef stood up and looked around the room. "Come everyone to the kitchen they will like a moment to themselves." Sef said as he turned and headed for the kitchen. He was hungry and they had much to talk about in private.
Sef looked at the girl once before leaving the room. History was repeating itself again. This is what happened over five millennium ago. Sef knew a war was coming for sure. Sef was the first Horsemen of Death and En Sabah Nur trusted captain. When Apocalypse's daughter went into a coma like state En Sabah Nur went mad and attacked Sef.
Sef now knew it was the work of the gods. Seth had told En Sabah Nur were to find the ship and also that he would conquer the world. Horus had picked Sef as his host. Seth and Horus in Egyptian Myths battled for a very long time. It seemed the battle was continuing. Apocalypse was Seth's champion and Seth would be far more powerful in this time of Chaos.

"Don't take her words seriously, Maz, she doesn't know who you and your father are. How could she know?" Iada said whispering into Mazaru's ear.
"You know Whispering is rude?" Amelia said fustrated she could read any of these people's minds.
"Aw, what's wrong?" Iada pouted, "My teleporting threw of your powers, sorry, no not really but I'm trying to be polite, since Apocalypse ruined our families and all."

Mazarus nodded but still looked sullen.
Raphael however stood, "no, you eat." He looked down at Amelia, "come with me." Raphael lead the way back out the door and outside the building. He lead Amelia back around to the back of the house.
"tell me what you know?"

"Iris is my mother and for some reason she handed me over to Apocalpyse," Amelia said not trusting this guy.
Iris laughed as she watch the bracelet around her begin to glow and then burn. It was starting the vow was being unraveled and soon she would be free.

Raphael's expression did not change. "then you know almost nothing. Let me tell you of the sacrafice your mother made, giving up everything for you." Raphael walked around the charred swing set that was in the back yard, gently placing a hand on it.

"Okay bucko why should I believe anything you say? I'd rather hear it from someone more important, like let's say my father," Amelia said crossing her arms.

Christian hands were tied behind his back, as he was rudely tossed to the floor near Amelia and her 'hosts', and landed with a subtle "oof".
He gasped to gain his breath, "Amelia, what in the hell happened, and what in the crap is happening here?"
He looked around at their captors: most of them he had seen on Apocalypse's detail sheets as fugitives of his law, which made his position all the more uncomfortable.

"Aw Raphael," Iada called to him from the inside, "Can we keep this one he's cute!"

"Your mother gave up everything to make sure you never lived a day of servitude. She gave up her life, her son, her husband. She willingly left all of that behind so that you would live a life better than she had. Your brother never gave up on you, always thought you would come back, never lost hope. Your brother loved you, felt it was his fault when you were captured." Raphael paused, his expression still hard and emotionless.
"Your father died on the inside, becoming a cold husk of a man. It grew worse when your mother left to save you. She did not tell him, simply sacraficed herself for your sake. Everytime your father watched that maniac put his hands on you he died a little more until there was nothing left. Not a day went by that I didn't want to go in there and take you back away from that mad man. My own daughter...Aribeth..."

Amelia felt the air inside her whoosh out from her lungs as she looked at this man and suddenly a few ememories rushed back to her. Tears flooded Amelia's eyes, "Daddy," she whispered and lept forward embracing Raphael into a hug, "This is so confusing."

Christian watched in confused shock. Hell, today really was out of the norm!
He looked up at Iada, "Hey, mind giving me a hand ma'am? It hurts down here."

Raphael stood there passively, a stone in the river un changed by time. He did not hug his daughter back, made no move to do anything a father should do when reunited with his daughter.
"Your father died waiting for you to come back, the only thing that has kept his body going this far is his burning hatred. I did every thing I could to try and get you back. I lost everything, my wife, my daughter. Tell me, was it worth the price, did you live a life of luxury, free from hardship and horror?"

The battle in Christian's mind continued.
Touching, no? I bet your mad right now, aren't you Christian. She's hugging him, reunited with her father, and now she'll forget you. You're alone again. I can change that.
Stop it. I'm rebuking you. I don't want you here anymore!
You don't have a choice! You know as well as I do the only place you have is by the right side of Apocalypse!
Christian stared at Amelia, scared, and increasingly lonely.
...You... have my attention...

"Yes, but I was always against Apocalypse," Amelia said darkly pulling something out of her pocket, "Mother gave this to me, this cross, and told me something about her side of the story. It's also wrapped in the layout of Apocalypse's fortress," she said before using her powers on the necklace that Rapahel had given her mother long ago. She also brought Rapahel with her.
"Hello if your seeing this it means that m yVow has been broken and now I may show you why I did what I did," a young Iris said before she faded and only her voice reminded in the memories that were showed to the two.
"I was married and had two wonderful children, and a husband that I love very much, and probably do to this day. Everything in my life turned gray when my daughter was taken.
At the time I was pregnant with our third child, my husband had no idea I was going to surpise him. But at the kidnapping of our daughter Aribeth, the strees on my body was too much and I lost the child.
Suffering from depression and temporary insanity. I ran to Apocalypse to beg for my daughter, but I gave into my darkest fear, in exchange for my daughter's life I was made his main general to fight against my husband and friends. And because of that many of them became prisoners. I died on the inside only kept alive knowing that my daughter was alive and keeping the rest of my family from being captured.
I was forced to give a vow that I could never tell Aribeth her turn heritage, but now that she knows I am free of my vow, and say only this.
I love you Rapahel.
Amelia blinked her eyes as the vision faded and her hands shook so much the necklace fell out of her hands. She looed wildly around the room and saw the only friendly face Christian, being sat on by Iada.
"Get off him!" Amelia cried out and pushed Iada off Christian, "Are you alright, I'm sorry about that, sorry about dragging you into this, jesus this is so frightening!" she unable to stop herself from talking as helped Christian up and unstantly buried her fac in teh chest of the only one she really knew.

Christian was taken aback by Amelia's turn to him. In all the fuss, he was surprised she remembered his presence, instead of trying to get the answers she came her for. But too much of a good thing always wound up turning sour, just as things got good.
"Hey now, he whispered, It's all fine now, I've got you..."

Amelia stiffened as alarms went off in her head, something was dark about Christian's voice not his own, "Who are you," she said fearfully looking up at Christian with large questioning purple eyes.
