Episode 2-The Concept of Parents In Their Youth

Alexis couldn't help but let her eyes wander on what could had been her home.. "(So...this is what father lived like back then...Not a shabby place, far beneath mother's lavish lifestyle for sure..)"

As she was doing this, Jalen scowls and tap the grass with his foot impatiently... "Yo, you got some mail for me or something..?"

She look back at him with a scowl of her own, quickly seeing the resemblance between him and her. "As I said..I'm your mail-lady...Alexis." She walk to him and extend a hand for him to shake which he takes after some time thinking.

"Allright..I'm Jalen Pruett..." The two of them dropped their handshake as she looked down and spots Marth, which brings a widened look into her eyes for a brief moment before dropping it. "(This is father's monster before the war...still have 2 eyes here.)"

"...." Jalen clears his throat, Alexis blinks out of her stupor and nods as she reach into her bag and pull out a pamphlet of tourneys in the next 3 months of this summer, this being June.

"Right..here's your mail including the info for the next tourneys in the summer season..And the salespaper for the sales next week..."
"...Thanks." He take the mail and place them underneath his arm.

"......"
"....."
"....."
Marth look up with a confused look to see both Jalen and Alexis staring at one another with scowls...until Alexis coughs into her hand and turn back around to head to her motorcycle. "Hope to see you compete in one of those tourneys.."

She gets on the bke, rev the engine up and drives off as Jalen look at the pamphlet and see the tourneys listed...Official AMBA Tournament at the end of this month..skipping that...next month had the Butterfly cup...skipping that one, but the last one in August...Tycoon Cup.

"Marth." The Garu piped his ears as Jalen look down at him. "Rest for today, we're gonna train hard for the next 2 months..."

Marth nods as he head to the house and go watch some TV...As Jalen look over to see Alexis far in the distance...
"Strange girl...why did it feel like I should know her...?" He scoffs as he walk away and head to his home. "No matter...time to get power from training..."

Later that night, after making her usual rounds of delivering mail..Alexis drove to a mediocre house and park her motorcycle behind it in the backyard within the rurals parts of Togle. Getting off of it, she walk around to the front and open the door to walk inside and see Kana, his Centaurion(Beaclon/Durahan) Armads, and her Shidao(Garu/Ripper) Alm watching some tourney on the TV.

"Hey Alex! How was work?!"Kana shouts while watching A tourney on the TV.

"Work was ok....Met Father...he's...well, he's not a sociable person it would seem..""(Much like I am...)" Alex answers back as she was in the process of going up the stairs before spotting the battle on the TV. . a Dragon perform Claw Combo on a Naga that dodges and weaves through the attack as  the dragon's trainer, a gruff looking man is getting mad as fuck while the Naga's trainer, a smirking woman with long black and spiky hair with red eyes..issued out a Pierce, elicting the Naga to stab the dragon in the chest harshly, getting some blood out from the attack as she wiggles her claw inside and pull out sharply.

Refs come swarming out and check on the dragon as it needed medical attention as soon as possible, but what was alarming to Kana was that none of the audience seem bothered by this. Nay, they seem to cheer loudly for this as the Naga was declared the winner. One of the MCs walked up to the woman who had such an arrogant flair about her that it sorta seem unreal.

"REGINA! THAT WAS THE FOURTH MONSTER THAT CONDORA HAVE CRITICALLY INJURED IN BATTLE! AS THE TRAINER, DO YOU HA-" The mic was snatched from his hand as she begin to speak in a haughty tone.

"Do not blame me or my lovely Condora the misfortune of that dragon and his pitiful trainer, we are proud nohrians and we always seek the glory of victory in these rings of ours! The strong devour the weak...and the weak serves the strong!"
The 2 future time-travelers watches as the crowd erupts to cheers and chant her name as she soak it all in. "...Your mom..." Kana gulps as Armads buzzes(Or clang through his heavy armor) with discontent as Alm looked up at his trainer and see an mixed expression of anger and pity aimed at the TV, most likely her mother.

"....Underneath that shell of a cruel and violent woman...is a person broken by the brutal society of Nohr and is quite scared for her life."
Alex sighs as she head upstairs to her room, Alm getting up from the couch and following her up there. "Don' stay up too long, tomorrow we'll have Lucina and Severa coming over to see us.."

"Ri-right..." He speaks up witha sad tone in his voice as he turn the TV off. "Hey...if it's possible...could we see my parents?" Alex stop and look down at the child she consider a brother and shrugs. "If we can get the royal siblings out of our hair the sooner, we can spend some time looking for your moms..."

Armads buzzed in happiness as Kana beams a smile and run right past the girl and went to his room, eager to sleep. Alex blink before smiling and head to her room....ready to get through tomorrow.
