Things change, people change. Life pulls and you have to stay much stronger if you are going to handle not being pulled apart by it. He realized he wasn’t, he wasn’t sure what to do with who and what he was so he was tossed with the seas with the waves. He wasn’t sure he was going to answer the call. He was so un-sure that when his liege asked him if he was going, he told him just that.<br/><br/><strong>“I am not sure your Majesty.”</strong>It was just the truth. Arthur was like a father to him, he said nothing even if he wasn’t the man’s son he treated him like one, even if he did have the hots for his play mother, but she was more than that, she was his teacher and he learned all he could from her…but the important lessons. He had to learn on his own.<br/><br/>He knew that Vixen was to be groomed in his stead to be whom King Arthur would vouch for. Hell he would vouch for her. But as he stood in his room, he realized the last time he was on the surface world he had met some good people, some he had and would call friends. He couldn’t hide in Atlantis forever, nor could he forgive himself if something happened to his ‘friends’ because he wasn’t there or he was no longer sure whom he was. He shook his head again, he would be different look different, he wouldn’t recognize anyone there, this would be a new group…a new team. He had no idea what to expect. As a smile graced his face he looked around<em>. ‘Since that part of the task to grow and become better than you would have been alone.’</em>He moved to kiss Mera’s cheek who was standing there as if waiting for him.<br/><br/>“You will do great!” Mera said.<br/><br/><strong>“I will represent!” </strong>Jackson said as he took off like a torpedo through the water. He moved like lightning, he wouldn’t take him long to reach Happy Harbor. He was going focus one getting to know everyone, he was glad he wasn’t going to be leader this time. He was not wanting that mantle or crown.<br/><br/>When he pulled into the harbor he shot out of the water to land in his stealth armor. He stood with his bag over his back that he moved to his hands. He opened his hands and the excess water pulled from around him and moved to his camel pack that coated his back. It was all but imperceptible now. He was much fuller than when he left, his Sire was bigger than he was, but not by much now. His brown hair was in place and would probably become blonde again by months end but now he moved to walk in.<br/><br/><<Welcome Aqualad>><br/><br/>He smiled once more and headed upstairs most of the others were probably here already. As he walked in the room was filled with all manner of heroes and would be heroes. He only watched and moved towards his own ilk. He wasn’t worried about impressions as much as he was getting to know those within. Of everyone in the room he at least knew of Vixen…not really knew here so he wasn’t coming in completely alone. He put on his best smile and was feeling strange at having given up his locks for a slimmer cut. He didn’t want that to be a hindrance in a fight.<br/><br/><strong>“Good day all, Jackson. A pleasure to meet everyone here.”</strong>He said doing his best not to be formal, but it came out that way anyway. He bowed formally to his Sire and would find himself seeing him off before he left, hopefully.<br/>
