Cole slurps his cold water, "i'm still confused as to what that blue eyes version of you is"

Isaac blinks some and looks over. He was zoned out and staring at a wall for a while.

"Did me slurping do something?" Cole slurps his water again.

"What do you mean?" Isaac asks.

"I slurped my water and you stopped staring at me."

“That wasn't related," Isaac shakes his head.

"Then what brings you out of it?" Cole tilts his head some.

"I dunno," Isaac shrugs.

"But anyways, do you know what the blue-eyed version of you is?"

Isaac shakes his head "Nope."

Cole shrugs, "whatever, he's just nicer and more bubbly then you."

"Nicer? You saying I'm not fucking nice?" Isaac glares at Cole.

"N-no your nice it's just that he's like m-more considerate," Cole puts a foot behind him

Isaac sighs, "Cole. Sarcasm."

"I'm fucking autistic Isaac! sarcasm isn't in my vocabulary!"

Isaac sighs, "Sorry."

"it's fine"

"Never changed have you?" Sparrow

"YOU-" Cole snaps his head towards the doorway and stares at Sparrow. She has her arm resting on the doorframe.

"WHY ARE YOU?" Cole yells.

"Why am I?" Sparrow tilts her head some.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?!"

"Why am I here?" Sparrow asks. Isaac glares at her.

Cole grumbles, "Stop copying me and answer the question you ################"

"I don't even know what that means," Sparrow shrugs.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?!" Cole continues yelling.

"Well I'm still pissed off about being decapitated by mistake and I want revenge. So I'm here to annoy you all, guilty or not," Sparrow smiles.

"..." Cole starts to slowly reach into his jacket.

"Not to mention you’ve shot me in the head several times all over arguments and misunderstandings. You're a lil drastic if you ask me," Sparrow adds.

Cole stops and stares as he exhales, "You wanna call me drastic? You’re the one who crashed Claire's birthday party with a fucking divulger and then proceeded to attack everyone!" Cole steps towards Sparrow, "And sure I shot you in the head 19 times but I was fucking unstable and unable to manage my stress and it used to keep me up at night that my fuck ups were costing you lives but I don't care anymore. I wouldn't even consider you my own daughter anymore, you've become something entirely different" Cole's eyes slightly glow purple.

"And who do you think caused that, hm?" Sparrow tilts her head some. Isaac looks ready to lunge.

"Oh i'm well aware that I caused it. You know what I think? I think it’s healthier for both of us to admit it than continuing to pretend to get along," Cole grumbles.

Sparrow leans to the side to look at Isaac, "Your pet lizard looks about ready to pounce."

"Don't fucking call my boyfriend a pet!" Cole takes an offensive stance as his eyes glow pink.

"I would call him a plastic bin baby but that's a bit too on the nose," Sparrow smiles. Isaac loses his cool as his eyes fill with rage and he tries to sprint at Sparrow.

"You deserve what's coming-" Cole crosses his arms as he chuckles darkly, staying out of Isaac’s way. Isaac tackles Sparrow through the open door and into the backyard. Sparrow hits the ground as Isaac raises a fist. Quickly he folds before being able to throw a punch and rolls off of Sparrow while whining in pain. Sparrow sits up and dusts her cloak off.

"And that is why you don't tackle a hadal," Sparrow mutters as she stands.

Cole snaps as his outfit changes to a deep black suit of armor that looks very thin. It has a lot of gaps between the panels. It follows Cole's figure closely and has a thick electronic screen Covering Cole's face. His eyes are highlighted with a gold accent.

Isaac is curled up on the ground grabbing his head as he whines, "It hurts-"

"Getting an all new suit just to deal with lil ol’ me? I'm honored deary," Sparrow puts a hand to her chest in fake flattery.

The electronic screen's eyes blink showing a pink eyeshadow, "The only person who calls me dear is Chris and Isaac. I think you’re well aware of that."

"So you became a whore eyed toaster?" Sparrow tilts her head to the side.

"I'll have you know I spent several days on this suit," Cole crosses his arms.

"I swear you're like a cartoon character making all these little devices to fight me, thinking it'll work," Sparrow snickers.

"I'll have you know I could kick your ass with this suit," Cole grumbles.

Isaac gets quiet as he sits up and glances around. His eyes are now blue.

"Well I don't have all night," Sparrow sighs.

"Alright," Cole puts a foot behind him as he launches forward and starts circling Sparrow quickly as servos inside the suit whir. Sparrow folds her arms and waits impatiently. Cole skids to a halt in front of Sparrow.

Cole huffs, "Well I guess that's not gonna work on someone as stubborn as you." Two panels separate on Cole's arm as he starts tapping on a screen on his arm.

"You need a time out to consult your built-in steps tracker?" Sparrow comments.

Isaac gets up and goes to tackle Cole with all of his force.

Cole ducks out of Isaac’s way as he finishes typing, "there we go." Cole springs into the air as a panel opens and quickly shoots an oddly dark dart at Sparrow’s chest. Isaac tumbles into the ground and the dart sticks into Sparrow's chest. She goes to pull it out but it’s barbed and stuck in place. Cole aims a kick at Sparrow's head as he lands in front of her. Sparrow ducks as she pulls out a glass veil from her cloak’s sleeve. Cole aims an uppercut at Sparrow's jaw as his free hand aims to shatter the glass vial. Sparrow takes the hit and the veil is broken. A red substance covers Coles and Sparrows hand. Cole shakes it off of his hand the best he can as he spins something on the electronic screen.

The dart takes effect as Sparrow begins to feel weightless. Sparrow aims a kick at Cole's torso. Cole dodges the kick as he steps to the side. Sparrow is flung into the air by the momentum and is drifting away in zero gravity. Isaac goes to tackle Cole again with his full strength. Cole barely rolls out of the way. Isaac pivots and lunges at him again. Sparrow is flailing in the air trying to change her momentum. Cole plants his feet as cleats deploy from his boots as he aims to catch Isaac. Cole catches him as Isaac continues pushing. Cole tries to sweep one of Isaac's legs as he aims to pin Isaac to the ground. Isaac is pinned but snaps at Cole's face with large jaws. Cole moves his face away as he aims a punch at Isaac's face, strong enough to knock him out. Cole tosses Isaac over his shoulder as the cleats deactivate and he walks inside. Sparrow drifts away into the sky.
