Gloria, Duke, and everyone agreed to hear Romi out, but Duke suggested they do it at a more secure location and suggested S.P.E.A.R.. Romi agreed as that had actually been where he had come from, as Wyatt and others were being held there under surveillance for the time being to back up their claim about the dynasty being overthrown. Duke was familiar with the government location, but the others were pretty astounded with the facility.
"Wow, so this is the place that McMillan lady works for. I'm pretty impressed." Sasha said looking around the place impressed. As the group rounded the corner, they heard some commotion going on as they saw Duke's half-brother, Wyatt Tepes being held from both his arms by Lancelot and a girl who looked to be in her early twenties who the group wasn't aware of.
"My lord, please remain calm, we can't make any moves now against them without a plan!" Lancelot said to Wyatt as he wrestled to get away from his holders.
"The plan is to kill the bitch that forced me out of my ancestral home!" Wyatt shouted at Lancelot. Duke and the others noticed the other members of the five there as well. Ken sat next to the body husk of what had been Ezekiel Kane, while Caleb chuckled a little at seeing a muzzle on little Ann who made a cutting motion across her neck and pointed at Caleb getting the message what would happen if he should laugh more. Cassandra was also sitting there looking a little sadder and had a box of tissues next to her.
"You need to actually have a plan if you want our help...brother." Duke said with a glare to Wyatt.
"Oh finally, the deserting heir. I'm so happy to see you." Wyatt said sarcastically.
"Ugh, Lord Wyatt, you agreed to send your agent out to retrieve your brother in his assistance of reclaiming your kingdom." Director McMillan reminded Wyatt.
"Yes....fine, I have to work with my brother who hates me." Wyatt said.
"Spill it out you dick, you said you needed help in saving his family. Now tell us why we need to help you at all." Sasha said.
"Fine. As you probably are already aware about this group calling themselves....ugh, the Normal. What a fucking lame name, it's like someone just got bored with a cool nickname and just put down the first thing they could think of." Wyatt said going off in a tangent.
"Lord Wyatt...." Lancelot interrupted Wyatt indicating him to get back on track. "Right, so....the Normal. They invaded the Tepes homeland with rogue vampires from outside the country, but these were...different. They were a mix of machine and vampires, Abominations, we called them as we started fighting against them on the battlefield. To my surprise and frustration, at the front and center of their army was the fucking Mad Queen herself, Vanessa. She and her forces invaded the land and took many vampires into custody and killed those who wouldn't comply. I had myself, the five and a few other vampires ready to teleport ourselves to S.P.E.A.R. HQ to ask for their help. But just as we were preparing to teleport Kyra, and my children through to the other side, my handmaid, Cheyenne had rushed in to inform us that the manor had been breached and Vanessa was near. Then then unthinkable happened, Kyra pushed me, Cassandra, and Lancelot, into the teleporter. My last sight of my wife and children were of them looking on in terror as Vanessa entered the room, Duchess and Cheyenne standing in front to protect them, while I was stuck here." Wyatt explained in detail while having a deep sadness in his voice.
"Oh....Duchess....you foolish, foolish woman. Why now do I realize my love for you when you've sent me away?" Cassandra said to herself wiping tears from her eyes.
"Mom...." said the S.P.E.A.R. agent, Hailey.
"Well Wyatt, I don't like having to team up with you, but I guess I have to if I have to save your legacy." Duke said.
"My legacy?" Wyatt repeated as he composed himself. "My legacy?! My legacy!!! In case you didn't know brother, this isn't just about reclaiming heritage you forgo to be with a garage mechanic's daughter while I was left with an entire country to run! People to look after! My wife and my children are in danger and I don't know what's happened to them! That's my legacy! That's what your legacy was going to be, to be part of something bigger. That's why I took on the role you dropped, that's why I'm the heir to the Tepes throne and you are here living a life in solitude while I have been building relations and alliances with neighboring countries and vampire lords because I'm doing the thing you could never do before and that's take charge!" Wyatt said venting out to his brother.
"Now if you'll excuse me, when you're ready to actually have a plan, I'll be over here waiting." Wyatt said as he sat down trying to compose himself, but Duke did notice him shedding a few teardrops to the floor.
