I suppose that it's high time I actually put my thoughts about what happened at Brother Blood's base down here. I hate to say it, but this is going to cause a rift between my grandfather and I. Of course, that's putting things very mildly.
On an intellectual level, I can understand why he did some of the things that he did. While Brother Blood was many things, he wasn't stupid enough to miss the fact that grandfather was growing impatient with funding failures. Given my record, and my loyalty to my family, I realize now that part of the reason I was thrown there was to take suspicion off of Red X. I was often watched, and not once did Brother Blood tell me how to get anywhere on my own. Always, I was escorted by those robots of his that were copies of Cyborg.
I can accept that it, as well as getting everyone to safety, was my role in this plan. What I'm unable to accept is the fact that my grandfather, my own flesh and blood, threw me into the proverbial lion's den without having any grasp as to what was going on. He didn't even tell me I would be meeting with Brother Blood. He didn't trust me to tell me my purpose for being there. I'm not sure what to think of it, other than the fact that I won't trust my grandfather so blindly ever again. I'm going to have to confront him eventually. I just need to wait until I can handle it calmly, with a cool head.
On a more positive note, it has been wonderful to actually spend time with my friends in the new HIVE base. I've done some research for both Jinx and Kid Wicked of late, and it's just been nice to be able to relax. I wish that Jinx hadn't left, but it was something she needed to do for herself. At least I know she's safe and I can get in contact with her if I need to.
