Yeah. A hidden guardian.
"Uh huh!" Jax said with a laugh, hands still laced behind his head as he walked.
"You know, when we were younger, we were always getting into trouble. All the time. But somehow, we always survived it. So for a long while, I honestly thought I was just lucky."
He chuckled, clearly poking fun at himself before his voice softened.
"But then there was this one accident when we were just starting to learn how to pilot. A training mecha malfunctioned during drills, and things got really close."
Luca's steps slowed.
"I once overheard my mom confronting my dad about overriding the mecha controls so the mecha I was using wouldn't blow up." Jax continued, his eyes looking forward.
"!!!"
Luca stopped walking altogether and stared at him.
Jax stretched his arms up, rolling his shoulders before turning back to look at him. "At the time, everyone thought I was just extremely lucky. The energy drained on its own, so the mecha never exploded."
He shrugged.
