I just realized I don't think I gave the father a name...my bad.

Ban's POV
So I think it's safe to say that creepy old weirdo has no idea where we are. Which is good because my family is safe. Now the only thing is finding out where that bastard is. What are his motives? He said he ruined Zeldris. So now he's trying to ruin the rest of his sons? I mean if I'm really being honest he already did ruin them. He ruined their childhoods and now captain is still kinda fucked up in the head.

I mean he's gotten a lot better but I mean come on it's hard to recover from an abusive father. Until I know more details I won't have a clear idea on what he's trying to do. I'll call Merlin she's the smartest at finding shit out.

"Yo King I have a bit of a spark in my head and I need you and Zeldris in the kitchen. I'm calling up Merlin and I'll call captain too."

He was stuffing his face with his favorite sour cream and onion chips while watching discovery channel on the tv.

"Ya know with how much you eat those I'm surprised your not fat..." I said then walked away.

Kings POV
I sat up and did as I was told. Ban's sly comment didn't really bother me since we've been making fun of each other for years.

"Harlequin can you bring the clean laundry upstairs when your done." I sighed and looked over at Diane. Oh now she wants to sound all sweet and happy?

"Do I have to?"

"Stop being so lazy all the time you sloth!" That's more like Diane, loud and annoying.

"Okay okay I'll get it love."

"Thank you." She kissed my cheek and I left down the stairs.

"Hey Zeldris? Ban wants us to meet upstairs." I walked down to his room to see him sound asleep in bed. Did he even get up today? He's probably starving. I heard him slightly snoring, he was holding on tight to the pillow.

"Hey..uh wake up." I said but no answer. I then tapped him and he still didn't move. Shit I don't want to do this he looks so peaceful.

"Wake up already!" I yelled and shoved him quickly to get it over with. He jolted awake and growled.

"Sorry but we need to be upstairs for something important. I can make you something to eat if you'd like."

"Yes please I'm starving." He said quickly sitting up. Yeah I bet you are starving considering how skinny you are. All that lean muscle gone. Guess that's what happens when your locked up in a hospital for a year. We made our way upstairs and went to the kitchen I started taking some left overs out of the fridge.

"We got some pizza, pasta, steak. You pick and then just heat it up in the microwave." He nodded taking some pizza and some steak then popping it into the microwave.

"Okay everyone say hi to captain!" Ban said happily walking in the kitchen with captain on FaceTime. Zeldris panicked and walked away.

"Oh..did you tell the captain about us picking him up?" I asked Ban.

"Picking who up?" Captain said on the other side. He looked like he was outside on his backyard deck. Chilling in the hot weather maybe even getting a tan.

"Uh so we discharged Zeldris from the hospital." I said then scratched the back of my head.

"You did what?! Is he mentally stable?! He's dangerous you can't just take him out like that!" Oh boy.

"Captain he's fine. I gave him his own room and I have all his meds it's okay and taken care of. Ban and I have it under control. Would you like to say hi to him?"

"I don't know. Last time I saw him he raped my wife. I definitely don't forgive him. Actually if he was right in front of my face I'd punch him. But I already gave him his physical punishment. I don't want to speak to him unless he apologizes. I won't except it of course but does he even feel bad for what he did?" I grabbed the bridge of my nose. This is gonna cause a war isnt it?

"Zeldris get in here." I called to him. He slowly came walking in and then looked at the screen.

"You son of a bitch." Captain said

Meliodas's POV
There he was my little brother. I didn't even know how to feel right now.

"You look like shit. Do you feel like shit too? Because you got off easy. Real easy pal. What you did will never be forgiven and as much as I hate you I can't help but love you. You fucking bastard. Your so lucky I'm not in the same room as you right now Zeldris." I was pretty frustrated with my feelings. I did hurt him bad but I wanted to hurt him more. Every time I think about what he did I just freak out.

"Do you even feel bad for what you did to Elizabeth? She had to go to the doctors constantly after what you did. She was having episodes freaking out in bed. She had nightmares almost every night because of you! You really fucked her up. Your lucky I let you live."

"Okay okay everyone needs to calm down. Listen we are all trying to find out the same thing here okay." King said waving his hands around.

"Meliodas please I can show you I've changed. I've done nothing but cry since you beat me up. I've been thinking about how horrible I was every night. Please brother give me a second chance."

"It's gonna take me a long time to give you a second chance Zeldris."

"Honey are you alright?" I hear my wife call to me from the house.

"Yes baby I'm fine please don't come outside this is private."

"Private? What do you mean private I'm your wife I can listen too!" She said getting all worked up like she does and started her way outside. I pinched the bridge of my nose feeling frustrated.

"Elizabeth your gonna make me angry. I said this is private so please." She stopped in her place and just looked at me. Sometimes she just pisses me off. I'm trying to protect her from seeing Zeldris because I know she will freak out.

"Okay fine." She said and then walked back inside. I sighed and looked back at my phone.

"Woah..are you and your girl having problems cap?" Said Ban looking back at the phone.

"What? No of course not. Why did I sound mean? Oh no maybe I was too harsh. Shit!"

"Damn you really need to learn how to read your tone of voice Captain." King said.

"Oh hey I think Merlin is finally here." Ban went to go answer the door. Surly enough it was my old friend Merlin. I smiled happy to see her then asked how she was doing.

"Hey Merlin! I still see you like to wear as little clothes as possible hehe. How have you been?" I asked with a bit of a chuckle.

"Same old same old. I still see you haven't changed much Captain. Looking young and sexy as always."

"You know I gotta stay looking good for my woman." I smiled brightly.

"So not to kill the mood but I have a weird feeling. Like I have a theory as to why your father is doing this." Ban said. I put my serious face on listening to what he had to say.

"What's your dads name again?" King asked in the background of the screen.

"Lee." Zel answered.

"I think he's trying to get some sort of revenge on all you guys. I mean think about it his wife dies and he goes nuts. What if he's jealous of his sons success in life despite the passing of your mother. Remember in high school when Zeldris was dating Gelda, how did he react to that?"

"I don't want to talk about this." Zeldris said trying to leave the room. I narrowed my eyes.

"No you don't get to walk away!" I yelled into my phone. Ban grabbed his shoulder and made him stay.

"When I talk about Gelda I freak out. It's much to painful."

"Look I get it but man up! Come on this is serious Zeldris." I wish I could just slap my brother in the face right now.

"Okay fine."

To be continued sorry for the weird cut off. I'm high key busy.
