The group froze at the words that escaped the man's lips.
For Elliot, he was confused as to which was more surprising. The fact that Hope had already knew his father, or the fact that he was trembling at the sight of him.
For Ed, Hope, and him, family wasn't a familiar thing but for Hope to react like this, there seems to be something wrong. When you see your long lost family member, you would wrap your arms around them and hug them like you don't want to let go. But Hope was acting the complete opposite of that.
It seemed like he wanted to run away.
"He's going to kill my mother." What Hope said just a few seconds ago rang inside Elliot's head like a bell.
"Connor," he called out in a whispered voice. "Could you stun him?"
"I can, but why?" Connor asked.
"When I say go, you stun him," Elliot instructed. "Do the thing where the ground opens up and fire comes out."
"Come with me, my son."
