I8DT: Breaking News

Onyx was at the apartment, baking cupcakes. She'd been baking a lot lately, part of a long line of random domestic activities she'd gotten obsessed with perfecting.

"Sure," Onyx says, smiling, "Want to try a cupcake? I'm making gift baskets for Ms. Valentine and the Mrs. Stantons."

"Maybe in a little while." Alyson said "A man came by today and well...he seems to be your biological father."

Onyx's face quickly became neutral, "I don't have a father."

"I know." Alyson said "Except in the genetic sense. If you don't want to have anything to do with him, that is your choice. If it makes a difference, he didn't know you existed until recently."

"This is ridiculous," Onyx says, getting out a bag of flour, "I have baking to do."

"Ok." Alyson said "I told him that it would be how you wanted, and if you don't want contact, I'll make sure he stays away."

"It has nothing to do with what I want," Onyx says, "The man is not my father. It is a trick."

"I thought that too." Alyson said "But...we did a DNA test, and genetically he is. Cassiel looked at his brain and he wasn't lying or showing false memories."

"It is a very sophisticated trick then," Onyx says, "I do not have a father, ma'am."

"If you say so, Mistress," Onyx says coldly, a note of sarcasm touching her voice.

"Onyx, I'm trying to be on your side here." Alyson protested "If you don't want to have anything to do with him, that is your right. But...well...it doesn't change the fact that it looks like he is genetically related to you."

"Then why wasn't he ever there for me?" Onyx snaps, "Why did I have to grow up in the pens?"

"Because the woman who gave birth to you is a evil bitch, apparently." Alyson said "He had a brief affair with her when he was on Madripoor on business, and only found out you existed fairly recently. I'm not saying that he's a wonderful human being, but I don't think he'd have abandoned you to the pens, if he'd known."

Onyx nods, twisting her apron strings with her fingers.

"...What's he like?"

"He seemed ok." Alyson said "Not above doing shady business, but he seemed like a pretty ok guy. Killed some of the people who'd hurt you."

"Because they'd hurt you, and he felt guilty that he hadn't been able to stop them earlier."

"I know you do," Onyx says with a sigh, "And I love you for it. But...this man."

"He does not have the right to defend me. He has not earned that right."

"Personally, I want to throw him through a wall for not bothering to find out if he had a kid before now." Alyson said "But that might not be fair to you, or to him."
