"I'll do what I can," Delphi said, working to patch up his guardian.
Topaz locked down Mason, freezing him mid-transmat, an old trick Lush taught her.

[i]After a few minutes, a man could ve seen sprinting at them from a distance. He wore simple military gear, he wasn't a guardian, just another soldier.[/i] "Hey, came as soon as I could." [i]He said, out of breath.[/i] "Rhodes, run that healing unit, now." "You got it Jäger." [i]Rhodes placed down a device. It was a large box he had been carrying over his back. It began to emit a strange aura, soon, James's wounds began to heal. [/i]
-
The Titan groaned, trying stand up.
-
"Careful, no sudden movements or the wounds re-open." [i]Rhodes says, trying to assist. Jäger turns his attention towards Mason.[/i] "Why did he attack you?"
-
"He says that I attacked and stabbed his daughter.... I have no idea what he's talking about," James replied. "It was you! She told me herself," Mason yelled.
-
"You! Shut your mouth!" [i]Jäger was furious at Mason. His tone now louder than ever. [/i] "Do you know anybody else who could have stabbed her?" [i]Jäger asks James.[/i]
-
"I don't even know who he is, or who his daughter is," James said.
-
"He's desperate, his daughter identified you as the attacker, and he just rolled with it." [i]Jäger says.[/i]
-
"But who... are they?" James asked. "So you're telling me that you don't know who Sarah Grey is," Mason yelled. James went pale. "He's talking about the Mercury incident... and possibly the incident with Kross...." He muttered.
-
"What the hell happened at Mercury?" [i]Jäger asks James.[/i]
-
"Let's just say there was a duel that ended with someone getting stabbed..." James muttered. He began to whimper. He hated remembering that incident. His rage... nearly killed her. He had been deceived by someone close to him. James hated that day. He knew the scar from what happened would never fade. But he never thought that the rage from it would resonate this far. Maybe Sarah was right.... Maybe all Titans do have the same burning rage that makes them fight harder and mercilessly.

[i]Jäger paused for a moment, taking a moment to try and ubderstand each side, but he still wanted details.[/i] "Hey, other guy." [i]Jäger said to Mason.[/i] "What happened on Mercury?"
-
"I wasn't there..." Mason said, "I was told about it."
-
"But your daughter was, and that's where she was stabbed." [i]Jäger says, reminding himself of what has been happening.[/i] "Who else could have stabbed her?"
-
"He was the only one there.. besides her," Delphi said, appearing.
-
[i]Jäger turns to face James.[/i] "So, is what he just said true?" [i]He sounded confused.[/i]
-
"That is correct...." The Titan sighed.
-
"So you lied?" [i]Jäger asked.[/i]
-
"I didn't know who he was talking about until he said who she was," James argued, "I don't even know who he is..."
-
"So, would I be correct in saying that you did stab her?" [i]Jäger asks, he sounded concerned.[/i]
-
"Unfortunately, yes..." James said.
-
"Oh man this is starting to hurt my brain. So, you stabbed his daughter but didn't know it was his daughter. Then he attacks you." [i]Jäger says, going through the series of events.[/i]
-
"One of them," Mason corrected. He had calmed down a bit. "Yeah. Sorry to confuse you more. But Sarah has a twin sister." [spoiler]I want Jäger to be more confused. [/spoiler]
-
"You've got to be shitting me. Ok, can I ask one question. Please tell me what the hell happened on Mercury? Because how the hell did a fight break out?" [i]Jäger asks James one last time. Rhodes in the back begins to laugh.[/i] "Jesus Christ this is confusing as hell."
-
"I don't like talking about what happened on Mercury. Or thinking about it," James muttered, "It is horrifying to think I flew into such a rage."
-
"Can you at least tell me who started the god damn fight?" [i]Jäger asked, trying to get the whole story.[/i]
