After listening to the girl's story, Tadeo felt as if he'd make a mistake, asking her what exactly she was. He decided he'd need to change the subject quick, or relate to her in some way. He did the latter and thought against it afterwards. "I know how ya feel. My whole family's dead. Killed off by my father's Androids when they went haywire when I was 7. My only surviving brother died when I was 15. So, we both got messed up pasts, and stuff." Shit, shouldn't have said that. Tadeo decided he'd try and change the subject. He made it about her age, which was probably another red flag.
"Oh, so you're around my age. I'm 21 right now, so we're not that far off. I'm sorry, I thought you'd be older after you said you obtained Super Saiyan years ago." You also went Super Saiyan a few years ago, idiot. Matter of fact, just a year after you went Super Saiyan, you went beyond and went into Super Saiyan 2! DO THE MATH, DAMMIT!! Tadeo was beginning to see how dumb he sounded right about now. Though one thing that intrigued him was that for her species, it was normal to have children at 18. Tadeo had children at 18, too, but they were accidents.
Changing the subject once more, Tadeo put his hand out to officially introduce himself. "Anyway, I'm Tadeo. Just a regular Saiyan who liked fighting, and all that good shit. Who are you exactly?"
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
"Oh! I;m so sorry, I never did introduce myself." Lizzy would remember, reaching out to shake Tadeo's hand. She quickly calmed herself after the slightly deep statement previously and went on to introduce herself. "My name is Lizbeth Kruiza, and I am a Faunus/Saiyan mix breed. I used to own a martial arts school, and helped protect the Earth, but most of that went down the drain when I got married and had my daughter, Ruby Kruiza." She would say excited, finally getting to meet more people who were friendly but understand of her. "It is very nice to meet you Mr. Tadeo. Even if the pretense was... more than questionable".
She would hear a slight noise, like that of a loud thud, before opening the door into the big cat's room. It was laden with white walls and small benches, the woman entering the room to lift up one of the tiny cubs which had seemed to fall from the elevated bed on top of a ledge area.
"Non-domesticated cats have a weird way of going about their lives and keeping their babies safe. The males will usually stay higher up with the cubs at their den or roost, while the mother or female in waiting will go out to hunt. A majority of the males sleep for over twenty four hours, making them one of the best guardians for the cubs. However, they have seriously good hearing, and if someone is sneaking up on their babies, they'll strike before the animal gets a chance." She would say, lifting the small cub up onto the ledge where a small roost of black figures were curled together. The cub seemed to have crawled off on accident, and she would begin to walk back to the door, having fun with the explanation. "The bad part is, our resident big cat male is a lazy piece of crap who doesn't even wake up when his babies take swan dives off of five foot drops. The little ones have endured enough to put a growth Leopard to shame.", smirking at Tadeo about the little ones. He most likely didn't know it, but she was also making a hint at humans, and her baby's daddy as well. She enjoyed playing fun on people, no matter who they were.

Tadeo shook hands with the Faunus girl, named Lizbeth. He learned of how she protected the Earth a while back, and how she used to own a martial arts school, but it all ended after she got married. The Saiyan smiled a bit nervously, thinking about this children and his girlfriend who's probably with them, right now. Shit, if I stop being a martial artist soon, it's all their fault. Tadeo chuckled a little bit after her last part, scratching his head and grinning a bit. "Please, call me Tadeo, and don't mention it." His tone suddenly got much more serious and his facial expression shifted into regret and concern. "Seriously, don't mention it. Let's just not think about our pasts, especially mine, and just move past that. I shouldn't have said it, anyway; it was probably uncalled for."
Tadeo fixed himself, shaking his head and sighing a bit, flushing down a flashback before it started to creep up on him again. Tadeo heard something in the other room, and so that distracted him enough to forget about it. As Lizbeth went to check it out, so did Tadeo. Following behind, he walked into a room filled with some of the cubs. Apparently, one of them had fallen, and Lizbeth went to go pick it up. Tadeo looked around at the scenery, and the other cubs.
He listened closely as Lizbeth explained to him a little bit about these cubs' behaviors, and that of the daddy. It was pretty cool to learn about them, and he started comparing them to his life, and with his children. He chuckled on the inside, thinking that the father is sometimes like him. Ha! I gotta foresight. I know what they're gonna do before they even know it, themselves. Of course, he thought this, until Lizbeth went into the fact that the daddy was lazy, and how the babies can sometimes fall from high places on his watch. Somehow, Tadeo felt she was hinting at something more important than that of the cubs. Yeah, never mind. That's nothing like me. Unfortunately, it was something like Tadeo. Not really a lot, but just a tad bit like him. The Saiyan chuckled a bit, responding in an obviously sarcastic tone, and referring to the father. "Yeah, that's a great father, right there. True example of how we should all be."
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
"Heh, reminds me way to much of the old days. But anyways, you probably don't want to stand there forever, how about you come into our apartment area upstairs and have something to eat. We can talk more there." Lizbeth would say, pointing towards the stairs as she would exit the room, knowing she still had a whole assortment of home made sweets and dinner style foods she kept for herself and Ruby rather than sell. "And don't worry, I won't charge you for what is in my kitchen, nya."
She would offer to meet him up stairs, whether he would go up or not she would walk back into the main room, whistling lightly for Ruby, who would jump up and rush to her mother, jumping into her arms snuggling up to her mom's shoulder while the Nekosaiyan turned off the lights, and stopped the moving carousels. She would then grab her back and walk back towards the stairs, holding tight onto her daughter as she would make her way up, talking in general to make sure he could hear.
"So, Tadeo, do you have anyone special? If not, you should definitely do it while you can, or you'll regret it. I definitely regret doing it way to early with Brand. Though I got little Ruby out of it so I can't say I wasted time." She would say, rubbing her nose on Ruby's, causing a light squeal from the little neko girl before she would hide her face in her mom's shirt.

Tadeo took kindly to Lizbeth's offer. He walked out the room and waited by the stairs for her. Sweet, free food. Just like back at home. Tadeo smiled and thanked Lizbeth, still waiting by the stairs for her to escort him up. He'd rather not just sprint up the stairs and wait for her there, since this was her humble abode. He didn't own it, so why should he be the one escorting her up? The green-haired Saiyan waited for his host and her daughter to make it past him and to the stairs. As they ascended, he followed close behind.
Tadeo had his hands in his pockets as he followed her. When she asked him if he had someone special in his life, he had a flashback to the last time he and Christel did it, and how she sabotaged him and in the morning woke him up with a positive pregnancy test. Tadeo's life never was the same from that point onward. Nine months later, they were in the ER expecting only one child. Since they didn't get an ultrasound, Tadeo and Christel didn't realize there were two children inside of her. When the twins were born, Tadeo wasn't mentally prepared to handle two children. However, he stayed in the ER room, and over time learned to like their presence. Even so, one of the only things he's thinking about for them is training. Besides being just 3 years old, Tadeo wishes he could train them in some way, shape, or form, that wouldn't kill them.
Lizbeth mentioned someone named "Brand," which Tadeo assumed to be the daddy. Something occurred to Tadeo. He felt as if he knew the person. Brand? Brand. Where've I heard that name before? Brand...Clergyman? Brand Hermit? Brand Sherman?... P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Wa- "I mean, yeah, I gotta few people that are special. But, that one girl who's still special decided to sabotage me while we were doing something. We were expecting one, but we ended up with two, so now there're twins running around the house." Tadeo sighed, putting his hand to his forehead. "I wasn't planning on becoming a parent, especially not yet. But, my girlfriend kept insisting, and then she took matters into her own hands. She was pregnant at 18, and around the same time I was involved in a war. I mean, it's all fine now, but the fact that we had them at 18 was pretty messed up for us, at least. After time passed, she decided it was probably a bad idea to fuckin' sabotage me like that. But surprisingly enough, none of that stress has gotten to her, or me for that matter. If anyone else who knew us looked at us, I'm sure they wouldn't notice anything, and wouldn't have thought we had children."
Tadeo put his hand back in his pocket, reflecting on the experience of having children. "All in all, I don't really regret having children. It's kinda fun taking care of them, and it was more fun making the- Lemme cut myself off there." Tadeo remembered Ruby was there with them, and he didn't want her to hear anything like that from him. It was a bad influence on children, and this was one child he didn't want to be a bad influence on. Changing the subject a little, Tadeo continued. "Maybe we should get a babysitter someday, though. We could do some stuff we used to do when we were 18, knowing they're safe and in someone else's capable hands." I could finally see what Christel's made of and see how well she fights, even after dealing with these kids for 3 years. "How about Ruby here? How old is she?"
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Lizbeth would walk up the stairs into her apartment above, opening the door and leading in Tadeo to reveal the four room apartment hidden above the shop. A small hallway leading to two doors leading into closed off rooms which seemed like bedrooms from the outside, and at the end of the hall was a kitchen and living split down the middle. A sixteen inch television sat on the wall in front of a thick and puffy couch, with a small ottoman cough in front for people to rest their feet on. The kitchen was set with an assortment of cooking, baking, and grilling tools all designed and stamped with the Capsule Corp logo, with the oven being turned on, a large goose-like animal cooking inside for a designated amount of time.
"Ah, so you have children of your own. They can be quite a hassle at moments, requiring attention a lot of the time, as that is why I gave up being hero, but finding a babysitter shouldn't be to hard. Though, I warn you, children born from the... uh... 'power houses' of the Earth often times are powerful themselves. If it weren't for Grahl, I would have died during the childbirth with this little hellion." She stated, letting down Ruby so she could roam the house and go play. Her first instinct being to rush to the kitchen to check on the fridge. "Though if I were you Tadeo, I would expect long weeks, even months would, uh, 'action' to be a norm, heh" She joked, remembering her years as a mother. "My last time was when I got pregnant the last time. But that is more because while I fell for Big Shot due to his romantic abilities, he is still an awful womanizer. I wouldn't have any of that. Other than that, I have never thought of finding a new love or getting remarried."
"Ruby here is six years old" Lizbeth would say, finally hearing the question from the man. It had been many years, but somehow she had raised the little creature into childhood to about the same age she was before her village was demolished. "She doesn't talk much for her age, but she enjoys her studies. I'm honestly surprised she is so intelligent too. I'm glad she didn't get my scatter brain or else that poor thing wouldn't learn to breath until twelve." She would laugh about, remembering when she was a feral little child crawling through the woods committing murders in the Northern woods during snow storms. The natives still have a legend about her as mythical big cat monster. "But she pretty damned smart. She asked for my help in writing a research paper on the science of molecular gastronomy. I didn't even know that word until I was twenty and went to Culinary School. She has this knack for finding old technology and finding out how they work, before making herself a copy that functions." She went on explaining the awkwardness of living with a little genius when she herself was about as smart as an eighth grader. "It scares me at times, because I saw her once putting together firearms. Apparently she found a handgun out there in the ground zero of North City and reverse engineered herself a carbon copy using my old Microwave."
She would shake her head, putting a palm to her face to show her stress over the little creature. She was used to raising the child, but when it was so close to danger twenty four seven she had to worry so much.
"Anyway, how old are your twins? You mentioned being eighteen, so I am going to guess two or three? It must be fun being a first time parent with TWO of them keeping you up at night."

Tadeo laughed on the inside, walking up the stairs with Lizbeth and Ruby. "Quite a hassle" is an understatement. The little shits cry almost all the time for nothing. Well, now they use a few words, but the first year was hell! After Lizbeth mentioned the power houses of Earth, Tadeo suddenly started to think how it actually worked, anyway. Memories and sudden speculations flooded his mind. Wait a minute. How the hell DID Christel survive all that? Especially the first time. I was a Super Saiyan 2 then. I'm easily way over her own power level with that, to the point where I can just take every single hit without flinching or moving. How the hell did she survive that? And then how did she survive having the kids? They're easily like my level when I started training with Roshi! Is Christel really that tough!? We're fighting again! I wanna see how much she can take!
The green-haired Saiyan kept listening in on what the fellow parent in the room was saying. He entered her apartment, and looked around. She seemed to have it good, despite living in such a small home. Not only that, but Tadeo began to think the girl's favorite hobby was cooking and baking and all that jazz. With the amount of stuff in her kitchen relating to the activities, Tadeo couldn't be wrong to at least think it. After hearing about "action" becoming a norm, he widened his eyes and thought about it, contradicting it with his past. I dunno if it's a norm. The last time anything like that happened was two years ago, sometime after the kids' first birthday, and that was only 'cuz we were making up for the last time where they interrupted us with their crying. I mean, not happening often is a norm, but I think we're perfectly fine with that. Especially me. I'm perfectly fine with that.
There was something Lizbeth mentioned, or someone, that didn't quite catch Tadeo's attention, yet. He nodded after her explanation of how things were with the person who got her pregnant. After hearing about Ruby's age and feats and accomplishments, he became curious and surprised a bit. Where the hell did she learn about molecular gastronomy? The only times my kids would hear about it is if someone was talking about it and they had questions, and I'd simply respond by telling them it's some boring bullshit that they don't need for their future. Hell, maybe I should start teaching them about this kinda stuff?...Actually, no, screw that. Fighting is the number one priority. Ruby's feats of reverse engineering a handgun in a microwave and writing a paper about molecular gastronomy really surprised Tadeo and impressed him, but he simply nodded his head and scrunched his eyebrows, still baffled and confused about how and where she learned it.
Tadeo sighed and walked in closer through the door of the apartment. "Yeah, they're just three now. Three years old and still pains in the ass. The only fun part about raising them is when they fall out the window, or something. That's the only action I see when I have to take care of them, but I make my own time to go out and train and stuff. Sometimes, I bring them wi-" Tadeo stopped mid-sentence, as something had just occurred to him. Lizbeth had said something before about someone, and it finally dawned upon him. He turned to her, wide-eyes and mouth open. "Wait, did you just say...'Big Shot?' As in, the Android and former President of Earth, Big Shot?"
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai

Tadeo couldn't really believe it. The girl in the room with him knew the actual Big Shot, and was with him in at least one point in her life. The Saiyan started thinking briefly. Wait, hold on! That means Ruby is his fuckin' child? That's why the "Brand" person sounded familiar to me earlier. Ah, damn this sucks! If only she knew something, Shadic and I would have a better lead for once. Tadeo sat down in the chair Lizbeth offered him, and put his hand to his head. "A friend of mine and I have been looking for him for at least three years. While we aren't exactly 'looking' for him, like we're not actually going outta our time to actually search for him, we've been trying to look for clues about where he's gone and everything. We all used to do business together as an alliance, but that got broken up ever since another one of our friends suddenly disappeared. Slowly, the rest of us fell apart, leaving the friend I mentioned before and I still on the radar and definitely alive."
With the way she was saying it, Tadeo figured that Lizbeth probably didn't know anything about Big Shot's recent whereabouts. The way she described him sounded exactly like him. Unfortunately, neither hero knew of his whereabouts. Tadeo watched as Lizbeth threw everything onto the table he was sitting on. He could only think one thing after seeing all this. Impressive. Regarding what he wanted to eat, Tadeo shrugged and chuckled a little bit. "Surprise me, I guess?" He didn't care what to eat, and at the same time he had no idea what he said. His Saiyan stomach would most likely tolerate anything she threw at him, and he wouldn't buffer or hesitate through anything. Until anything else happened, Tadeo sat in the chair and patiently waited.
Something did happen: he was questioned a little bit more about his children. Well, there was only one question to clarify, and then Lizbeth talked a bit about raising Ruby. For some reason, though, Tadeo's children didn't get scared. Most of the stuff that'd scare normal people would make his children smile, laugh, or stare at it blankly. It not only pissed him off a bit, but it also made him a little relieved. Of course, there was still stuff that scared them. Whenever their father went Super Saiyan 2, they'd start crying. Whenever their mother went on a spree of kicking shit into oblivion, they'd become extremely silent as they try to hold back tears. When they're alone, they freak out a little bit. Tadeo laughed a little bit. "The kids just don't seem to get scared of anything. Well, not anything they're supposed to. They've seen countless horror commercials and nothing seems to faze them. Even the fact that our President is fucking Godzilla right now didn't do a thing." Tadeo ran his fingers through his hair a little bit. "I'd say that I'm starting to think they're not human, but they really aren't."
The Saiyan gave a hard look at his hostess and raised an eyebrow. "What wrinkles? I don't see anything." As Tadeo said that, he thought of how Christel hadn't changed at all, despite how stressful it was to raise their children. She didn't get any wrinkles, bags under her eyes, graying hair, or anything else like that. Tadeo didn't either, which was somewhat expected. The green-haired Saiyan redirected his attention to Lizbeth. "Thought just occurred. When did Ruby actually start talking?"

Oh cool, food. Tadeo took the sandwich set down and started going at it, slowly for a change. As a Saiyan, he'd usually wolf down these sort of things. However, right now he didn't really care much about how fast he ate it, just that he did. He listened to Lizbeth as she spoke about Big Shot. It was kind of depressing, not being able to find him after all this time. It would probably be best if Tadeo and Shadic stopped looking for him altogether, and reformed the BoB without Rex or the aforementioned Android. He chuckled a bit, staring blankly into space for a bit. "Yeah, sounds good." I wanna punch him in the throat.
Tadeo shrugged about Godzilla being President. The conversation about that turned into bringing back the war that happened a few years ago. He laughed a little and twitched his eye. "Oh yeah, that war. Good times." I fuckin' fused with a girl who wasn't Christel, but we're not gonna talk about that, or the unstable fuck that came out of that. Tadeo pressed his fingers to his temple, recalling the events of that war. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "It was a pretty dark time. Some people I considered friends turned out not to be so there, but everything's fine right now. Relationships can be amended." Wait, did I just use a smart word?
Tadeo listened intently to what Lizbeth said about Ruby's speech history. Tadeo's children were just three years old and they barely speak. When they were younger, they knew how to curse. He took great pride in that. Thinking back on it, he smiled. Now, they still knew how to curse and were using it on their own to formulate sentences. It's probably very unhealthy for children to do so, but the Saiyan father didn't care. The mother gave up after the first year or so. Tadeo watched as Lizbeth teleported out of her seat into another location, he didn't know where. She came back with a book, which Tadeo examined for a bit. It was about teaching children how to speak. It's amazing how anything she does is normal to me, when it shouldn't really be.
Tadeo then heard about Ruby being able to feel the presence of Namekians. While it was no feat anyone who was able to sense Ki couldn't do, it was strange she was able to do so at such an early age. He was kind of jealous. He didn't think his kids could do it, just yet. "It's not that I think they're late bloomers. In fact, I think they know how to form sentences fine, but not all that fine. They still mumble, and say other things normal babies shouldn't say. But overall, it's not bad. I was just curious, since she knows so many other things at her tender age." Like genetics and writing a thesis. What the hell is this kid??
