The boys had one class at the Union Building, after class they would join other students in games of pool, Michael started to show more confidence socializing with others, knowing Jagger was with him. He wasn’t shy but he wasn’t confident like Jagger to engage in conversations with students, he could see Jagger was popular, girls giggled when they passed him and would wave, and males either hated or avoided him.
Jagger knew Michael is a closed book to everyone and he noticed like himself Michael was very slow to trust, making social affairs more difficult. He also knew Michael had a soul that no one ever had in his own life time of knowing people, he felt that getting Michael out a bit more would be healthy for his own accord.

Jagger's father Luther Drakovic, a senior vampire leader to the Emperor, who was always on his back, found Jagger at the union building, Luther knew Jagger had got slack over the past few weeks and as Emperor Drakovic was growing most impatient. He stormed into the Union Building where he approached Jagger.
Jagger saw Luther had arrived, he exited the game to see what he wanted to pester him about; Jagger knew his time for fun was up.
“What do you think you’re doing” snapped Luther in a cold stern smug tone.

Jagger not at all amused or intimidated by Luther's manner
“.. playing with my food .. and… you old man?”
Jagger knew how to rub his father the wrong way, he knew that he would fire him up and played on it to the best of his abilities. Jagger loved nothing more than a big fight, he was fickle with his words and he certainly loved someone who would give him some reason to bite back. He also hated being told what to do, and he knew Luther was very demanding of him. So he geared up for some personal gratification.

Luther not impress by Jagger's obnoxious arrogance, dismisses his attitude and presses on.
“Jagger stop being a smart a*se, I ask you again… What do you think you’ve been doing?” he continued in a sharp tone.
“You haven’t been hunting, you’re not getting the soldiers together. You know the Emperor grows impatient”.
“…… You can play your games with your bait later” Luther sternly snaps again.

“Perhaps YOU can go on the hunt and get them yourself, old man”, Jagger snapped back.

“Don’t give me cheek boy, you know what you’ve been trained and bred for, you know your darn job and YOU WILL stop fooling around” He continues to press at Jagger.

Jagger in his own arrogance was not about to let anyone tell him what to do not even Luther. Jagger was never intimidated by Luther knowing he is his senior and under the Emperors rule he knew Luther was right, however he was not going to give him any satisfaction to bowing down to him. Jagger knew that without him Luther had no army. So he enjoyed the games to tease Luther’s temper.

Luther growing impatient with Jagger's egotistical outbursts, threatens him…
“well keep this up Jag AND YOU WILL be replaced”
Jagger laughs in Luther’s face, not buying his threat.
Luther’s patience thinning with his sons id*otic arrogance, leans forward and threatens him.
“I'm not joking Jag, you will be replaced and I will personally make sure of it…” Luther snarled at Jagger.
https://s19.postimg.cc/xl6r4tc8z/Screenshot-1883.jpg
Jagger bursts out in a hiss…
“I AM YOUR BEST SOLIDER old MAN don’t you try to patronize me you fool. You think just because you are the top dog here, you’re still a minion to the Emperor,…. just like the rest of us”, he bit back in a firm expression, baring his deadly big fangs to insinuate his power.
https://s19.postimg.cc/nb4c5gjrn/Screenshot-35.jpg
“….don’t think someone younger than you can NOT replace you. You know da*rn well I can” Jagger continued to bark at Luther.
“Without ME…. LUTHER…. you have …NO…. army you remember that and crawl back to you big shot emperor and tell him that” Jag continued to snarl.
https://s19.postimg.cc/m8u5mxvtf/Screenshot-40.jpg
Luther knew Jagger was right as much as he loathed his son’s attitude he knew Jagger is more than powerful to bring the army undone he stepped back to lighten the load as he could see Jagger was frustrated with his outbursts at their peak, he needed his son to be clear headed.
Luther knew too well that Jag was a stubborn over confident Allie, one of the best, despite his egotistical arrogance which could eventually be his undoing, he needed to remain on Jagger's good side. Having Jag as an enemy would weaken their army greatly and that would then rock the boat with the emperor and summon his own death. Luther tread carefully
https://s19.postimg.cc/vtds9tdfn/Screenshot-143.jpg
“Son no insult… you’re the smartest and most qualified vampire on the force, more than anyone ………including myself”. Luther slightly shifted his feet on belittling himself as he himself knew it but dreaded letting his own ears hear those words out aloud, let alone Jagger who would use it against him one day.
Jagger was growing tired of Luther's voice, he couldn’t stand someone trying to crawl their way back into his good book, he also knew he had a personal grudge against Luther, and hated that his own father had to tell him what to do. He felt his inner core shifting, the rage eagerly pushing to burst out, nothing stopped him from killing his father right here and now, yet he knew all in good time. Grounding his own demons that yearned inside his core.

“Use your head son…” Luther said trying to calm his hot headed son
“… do me a favor…. Scan the room and tell me what you see…”
Both men stopped to stare at Michael who was playing pool with Ezra, another supernatural. Most true vampires had the ability to scan a room or area, to sense hot blooded species through their thermal imaging and extra sensory vision, allowing them to not only sense hot blooded victims but also see which of them has the better blood flow and was going to be the next victim on their radar for a feed or kill.
Jagger has the ability to lock onto that victim and come back to it another day, no matter where they were or how far, he would have the power to tap into their minds and find them, most vampires didn’t have this ability as heightened as his, this is what makes him a deadly predator.

“See….” Luther urged Jagger…. With a much centered tone himself
“I know you can see it…. He’s off the radar… and as much as it’s aroused some supernaturals suspicions, this little mortal really is no threat to anyone. I need you to get back on your job and let me worry about the little mortal… There is a higher request and demand of you,….. son please……. No more childish boy games. Please”. Luther almost at the point of begging.
Jagger had grown very fond of Michael almost to a fatherly protective point, yes he knew Luther was right, but he also knew Luther would have Michael killed in a blink of an eye. The first time he found someone who was so different.

“YOU WILL NOT TOUCH THIS MORTAL!!! ………IS ..THAT… UNDERSTOOD!!” Jagger threatened Luther
“OR you can run to the Emperor and tell him I've gone rouge” Jagger threatened with a deadly tone.
“I will take the army apart if you as touch him Luther…... If he’s not a threat, then I can keep him for my own personal satisfaction. Have I made myself clear!?”
Luther shocked in his sons eerie threatening outburst, yet he knew it was not a promise he could keep.
“Ok ….son” Luther lied, “just get back on the force ……we need you, we are under great pressure”.

Jagger was no fool and something he knew about his father was his traitor abilities, he also knew his father knew he had the ability to reach deep into someone’s mind and rip every bit of information and memory and put in their head what he so desired. Jagger knew that Luther like everyone else had no control over it. The only other vampire that had this kind of power was Vixen the Emperors daughter, his cousin, the mother of his Heir. He needed to be certain that Michael would be safe.
“What are you doing… Jag….Ja…..” Luther said knowingly he what was happening but unable to move.
“Making sure you’re lie is forgotten AND truth be told…” Jagger interrupted him in a centered calm voice as he began reaching into his core centering his spirit to allow the massive rush that would consume his body, far deep within, to explode and trap his victim.
Jagger had the ability to hypnotize anyone, supernaturals or non supernaturals, mortals or immortals, any breathing creature he could feed off their minds, with his power he would make them forget what their lies were about and be true, honest, it also allowed him to absorb all their motives and hidden agendas, so that he knew what they were planning and when. This made him a dangerous source.

Michael stopped playing pool, he knew Jag and the older man were fighting, he felt it was because of him and he felt heavy, in an instant he froze, too scared to turn around and look.
He heard that electrical static sound buzzing again, this time it had a stronger, more powerful drumming in his ears, like a swarm of angry wasps tormenting his eardrums. As much as Michael wanted to turn around to see, he was frozen on the spot almost feeling sick to the stomach from the sound that was deafening him.
He remembered only one other time by the lake, that sound, not as strong, the night he met Jagger. He wondered deep in his mind what was it that Jagger was doing, yet unable to turn to watch. He desperately tried to block out the sound that was overcoming all his senses.
https://s19.postimg.cc/vtds9vqb7/Screenshot-195.jpg
Jagger pulled through his inner core and ripped out a massive green laser glow that erupted out of his own soul through his eyes. Luther knew that instant frozen that Jagger was pulling out every little information from his mind, he knew his son had this power he had seen it as a child, but he like others was powerless against it.
Jagger took every bit of information from Luther’s mind, sucking out all the data into his own body to unlock and uncover all the secrets and replace them with what he wanted Luther to recall. Unlocking things he knew and didn’t know, storing the data into different places in his mind for when he needed to utilize them. Locking it away for no one to find, only he had the key to unlock them when needed. And he knew how to do better than anyone, including Vixen.

Luther stood, like a stunned mullet stared, unsure what had happened, yet said nothing, he remembered coming to the union building to see Jagger, for work.. he continued to stare at Jagger who stood stone cold and stared at him with a poker face expression.
“See you old man…. “ Jagger instructed bluntly for Luther to leave.
“I will get on the job as you instructed…”
Luther left knowing something wasn’t sitting right with him. He couldn’t remember. He left the union building knowing Jagger was back on the job was enough for him to go about his own business.
https://s19.postimg.cc/o0n4hw4wj/Screenshot-221.jpg
Jagger went over to Michael who immediately burst out “you were fighting because of me?”
Jagger heavy on the heart and could see in Michael's eyes his own heavy heart hurting… quickly replied.
“No Mike, I have to go back to work, play time will be less unfortunately”
“But how about for now, we go watch the stars…” Jagger quickly added.
Jagger needed to recharge his own energy and calm his spirit, for the volcano had slowly risen and he knew an explosion within him was coming. He knew spending time with Michael would calm the growing demon inside his core. He needed time to process all the new information he pulled out of Luther’s mind and he knew star gazing would help him do this.
