The boy was visibly perturbed by the two beings talking about power and what was expected with said power

The hero took notice of this timidity and immediately asked out of worry

"Child? What seems to be the cause of your troubles? You have just been informed that your time for glory and legacy has come, are you not excited?"

The Demon King facepalmed at the Hero

"Oh for the love of- I forgot that you had powerful beings telling you what to do with your power for so long that you forgot the golden rule of having powers... do what you want because there's no punishment. Kid just follow that rule to live freely and do what you want and I'll teach you how to use my power."

The Hero chimed in at this moment with a chortle of defiance

"The Demon King of Subjugation wants to talk to me about lacking in freedom? How do you think you earned that name?"

The Demon King for the first time dropped his aloof façade of a playful and mischievous young man as the stalwart Hero instead was replaced with the cold stare of the Demon King who killed the gods

"I was given that name by you servile scum, all I did was liberate my people and myself from the tyranny  of those weaklings you worshipped."

Just as the unique voids started to distort which signaled an oncoming attack the boy fell to his knees and grasped the back of his head before soft words could be heard emanating from the youth. The Demon King craned his neck to hear the muffled words

"What's that boy? Speak with a little confidence to your papa."

What was an offhand joking remark from the Demon King set off the youth as the worlds runes started manifesting all over the place before  they finally started causing the respective voids to shake

"I CAN'T! I'M SORRY DAD! I DON'T HAVE YOUR POWERS!"

The Hero and Demon King were thrown back at remarkable speeds before stabilizing 

The Demon King laughed wildly

"BWAHAHA! Incredible, even as a child I was never thrown backwards yet this child who claims he's powerless threw me back twice already."

The Hero was equally shocked

"Child, you say that you have no powers yet you just threw back the two overlords of the mightiest war in history."

the child frowned

"Mom says that's because you're just in my head, I am the one who controls my mind... not you."

The Hero let out a shocked chuckle

"Just in a child's head... ok then little one, let's see what you can do in the real world then."

The child opened his eyes and found he was no longer in the void realm but was now in his normal room, the silent, proper room. Normally this overwhelming normalcy would make one wonder if the events they had just experienced really occurred, in normal situations that may have been the story I was here to tell you, a tale about a child slowly losing his mind from things that cannot possibly be real, however this story is anything but normal. The second the child began to doubt himself he noticed a figure walk through the door to his closet. This figure had scarlet red eyes that matched the color of the tie of the black suit he was wearing, he saw the child and put on a ferocious grin that did not at all match the high class attire that wrapped his body

"I like your world's sense of style, These robes are much more sleek than any apparel in my original one, I mean I wore either a suit of armor or just a pair of pants most times because those robes inhibited the freedom of my body."

A disgusted sigh could be heard as the child whipped his head around to look at the beautiful woman sitting upon his bed that appeared to be a young woman who wore a jean jacket over her long sleeved grey shirt with black sweatpants. 

"He's not even lying about that, the first time I met this thing he was just strutting about shirtless. I nearly had to restrain Hyflexia from jumping him. He holds no sense of decorum."

The child had just seen them but was still shocked at seeing them in the real world.

The Demon King grew impatient and knelt down next to the child while staring intensely into his eyes

"Now then boy-"

The Hero chimed in before the Demon King could keep talking

"No no no, I understand it is hard for your species to understand common manners but you should address him by name."

The Demon King looked up at the Hero in bewilderment

"You've yet to address this child by his name as well."

The Hero realized he was right and cleared her throat before whipping her hair back with one motion

"Well that was inside his mind so clearly that was a different circumstance, from now on I shall refer to him as Jake as should you."

The Demon King snickered

"Well I would call him that if that was his name, but considering his name is Drake I suppose I'll call him that instead."

The Hero was blushing in embarrassment as the Demon King continued

"But in return we shall all address each other only by name, I am called Avros, as you heard that slimy succubus is called Reyka."

Reyka rolled her eyes at Avros

"Please, you have no room to be calling anybody succubi after your demon general of flesh."

A loud noise was heard before the battle of tongues could continue any further however as a voice was heard at the same moment a door opened

"DRAKE! GET DOWN HERE! NOW!"  

This voice was masculine, so full of power and not rage but something worse... disgust.

Drake's eyes grew wider upon hearing this. He stood up as Avros and Reyka looked on in confusion, the young boy walked out of his room with a scared look in his eyes until he reached the top of the grand marble staircase where he looked down not only to see Avros and Reyka but a being he feared far more, somebody who most could only look upon from a distance or from the news in reverence and awe, that person was staring with steely eyes that pierced into the very soul of Drake... that person was

"Hello father"

The muscular man in a gold and black suit with an ethereal cape made of glittering gold looked at Drake with deep blue eyes and scoffed at him.

"You are still in dress clothes when training time has come. And remember what I said about calling me your father when I'm still in uniform."

Drake did remember what his father's rules were. one of them being he is never allowed to address him as father when in uniform and must instead be addressed by his superhero alias in order to protect their family by keeping their relationship a secret. 

Given that they inhabited the young boy's mind Reyka and Avros were made keenly aware of this rule and Avros stepped up to directly look at the father

"Bullshit, I've seen people keep their relationships secret out of love... and I've seen them keep them secret out of shame, this piece of garbage is ashamed of you Drake"

Once these words were let out from Avros, Drake felt something he had never felt towards his father, that being anger.

Drake quashed this newfound displeasure and addressed his father again

"Greetings, General Galactic."

His father nodded and motioned for Drake to descend

"Tell me, any powers yet?"

Drake looked down at the ground and stammered his next few words

"I-I don't know, I feel like I c-could have powers but-"

His father didn't even bother to look at him as he spoke with a cold and emotionless voice

"Drake, it is not befitting of the child of the world's greatest man to stutter, look me in the eyes and answer me honestly."

Avros grew even more irate as Drake began to feel his emotions well up inside himself as well

"No, I have not tested to see if I have any powers today."

His father sighed as he turned away from drake and started pacing

"Your sister awakened her powers at 6, your brother at 8, yet you? You are nearly 11 and have yet to hold even one of the powers of your mother or I, given that our family is THE most respected superfamily on the planet you can see how having a son who has no powers is... problematic."

Avros finally had enough as he blurted out as Reyka just showed a cold disapproving look towards his father

"THIS ARROGANT SON OF A- THAT'S IT!"

Just as he was about to yell further though, both of Drake's pupils turned scarlet red and he spoke at the exact same time as Avros.

"PROBLEMATIC?! BECOME A BETTER MAN AND MAYBE THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE TYPE I HATE MOST! ANOTHER PROBLEMATIC THING IS THAT I AM IN THE SAME ROOM AS YOU AND YOU HAVE YET TO [KNEEL]!"

As this new voice emerged from Drake everybody grew shocked, most of all was General Galactic as he found that he had just kneeled to his son without a second thought.

Reyka saw his pupils and blurted out 

"Drake? No, don't listen to him!"

Drake's pupils faded back to their normal color as he saw his father kneeling in front of him. The most powerful man in the galaxy was on one knee in front of him.

"What. Just. Happened?"
