Since Childhood..

Red blushed and sighed happily, clenching tightly onto him and pulling herself closer. "I love you too..." She whispered gently.

Ty snarled and gently picked up Tigress. "Let's go.." He mumbled, Jack and Bash following as they walked out've the house, placing themselves and Tigress in the car, and driving away.

Michael grinned widely and smiled at her.

Tigress curled up silently against the seat.

Red gently gazed up at him and smiled. "Your smiling... I haven't seen it since we where little.." She spoke gently and happily.

Ty silently began to drive, Bash sitting in the back with Tigress as Jack growled to himself. Bash worriedly looked at her and gently stroked her hair. "You okay..?"

Michael shrugged lightly and gently stroked her hair. "You've given me something to smile about..." He whispered.

Tigress jumped lightly as he stroked her hair. "I-I'm fine...." She answered.

Red nodded and sighed happily. "Hey um.. Do you, do you think we can just, hang out and like.. Drink a bit, if you don't care, tonight?" She asked gently.

Bash sighed and nodded. "You might not remember, but we where your childhood friends.. Your parents gave up searching for your a long, long while ago.."

Michael smiled gently and nodded. "I wouldn't mind that.... In fact that seems great...."

Tigress looked at him quietly. "I remember but.... It feels like you were just a dream... Like my whole life before the kidnapping was a dream...."

Red smiled gently and gazed up at him before nodding. "Thank you.." She swiftly hugged him tightly. "Can we go now?" She asked gently but happily.
(The bar is where they meet Ray and Gavin again)

Bash shook his head gently. "It wasn't.. Your parents missed you, and we've been looking for you for several years.. We missed you.." He spoke, his voice soft and filled with sadness.

Michael nodded and hugged her tightly. "Sure...." He whispered softly.

Tigress nodded slowly before she suddenly hugged him. "Oh Bash... It was horrible..."

Red smiled and nodded. "It's only down the road!" She happily grabbed his hand after they placed on their shoes, about to go.
~Timeskip~
Red happily walked into the bar with Michael. It was empty, almost, only a few people there.

Bash worriedly looked at her, Jack and Ty listening loud and clear as well. "What happened? Tell me he didn't hurt you!"

Michael silently followed her and looked around. He huffed softly as he gently placed an arm on her shoulders.

Tigress looked away quietly. "He didn't hurt me.... But he..." She gulped softly.

Red smiled and sighed happily. She nuzzled against him before gently looking around. "Never been to a bar before.." She spoke gently.

Ty instantly stopped the car in a parking lot, making it screech. "That fucker!!" He snarled, gripping angrily onto the wheel, huffing angrily back and forth. Jack snarled. "That motherfucker deserves to die! Raping children is fucking wrong!!" He yelled angrily. Bash sadly hugged her. "Oh my god I'm so sorry!!!"

Micheal nodded and glanced around. "Just stay away from the drunks...."

Tigress hugged Bash back tightly and whimpered softly.

Red nodded before gently glancing over to two guys, clearly not drunk, but they looked... Familiar. "Hey Michael?" She asked gently, pointing to the two guys before glancing up at him gently.

Bash sniffed and gently pulled her to his chest. "Forgive me, I've should've been there earlier.." He whimpered.

Michael looked at the guys and his eyes widened. "Ray? Gavin?"

Tigress shook her head and held him close. "It's not your fault."

Red's eyes widened happily. "Oh my god!!" She squealed and grabbed Michael's hand before running over to them.

Bash gently nuzzled her sadly and shook his head, burying his face in her shoulder before gently crying as Ty began to drive again.

Ray looked up quickly as he heard her running over. Gavin was busy taking a drink.

Tigress snuggled against him sadly.

Red's smiled. "R-ray? I-is that... You?" She asked gently, gazing through his glasses and into his eyes.

Bash whimpered and gently curled besides her the best he could. He held her close to him gently.

Ray cracked a soft grin. He pulled her into a gentle embrace. "Look at how big you've gotten Red....." He whispered happily.

Tigress whimpered softly and curled up closer to him. "Can I go home?..."

Red huffed happily and snuggled against him. "I missed you guys.. So much.." She gently gripped ahold of Gavin's arm and gently hugged that.

Bash sighed gently and shook his head, drying his tears away as he lifted his head. "Not after what happened..." He spoke gently.

Gavin looked at her and chuckled softly. He also gently wrapped his arms around her. "We missed you too..."

Tigress looked up at him sadly. "W-What? Why?"

Red giggled gently and huffed happily. "Come on guys, give Michael some love!" She smirked up at Michael and playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

Bash sighed. "Because I'm not letting a fucking person Hurt you again." Ty mumbled under his breath.

(Oh btw, found out Jack is married .3.)

The guys looked at Michael and smirked evilly. "Come on Michy!" Gavin teased and they got up. They instantly started towards him and he backed away.

Tigress looked up at them sadly. "But I want to see my mom and dad..."

Red giggled and gently got up. "Guys, stop, he's been through some shit.." She spoke gently, her voice soft.

Jack shook his head. "Their far away from here.. Even if they stopped looking for you, they already had another kid.." He mumbled, somewhat angrily.

They stopped and nodded. They say back down and smiled gently at them.

Tigress' eyes widened in shock and her stomach churned lightly. "I-I was th-that easy t-to replace?...." She whimpered sadly.
