Jess sits down and looks at him, and begins frowning a bit at his authoritive tone of voice. "Ok..."

"First of all, at some point in the future, you're undoubtedly going to say that we're not your real parents. If we ever have other children, or if other children you play with are angry at you, they may say that you're not our real daughter. And maybe, just maybe, we might say the same thing if we were angry. I want you to know that that isn't true. Love is what makes families. Okay?"

Jess will look so confused..."I didn't know you weren't my real parents to begin with.." she'll let a tear or two fall at this and sniff hard "If your...not the real things...where are my real parents?"

"That's my point. We are your real parents. Love is all that makes family. But the parent that birthed you is that woman you saw on the ground. She died to protect you. The wounds, that means where she was hurt, tell us she walked for a mile away from a number of very mean people just to get to you to make sure you were safe and to protect you with her last breaths." Dajess is holding his arms out, obviously to cradle Jess if she so wants to be.

Jessica begins to cry and runs to him "I don't know what love is....Im scared, your not going to go away too are you?" she'll begin to sob "I have a big hurt right here" she'll piont to her chest..then she grows quiet "The the people who hurt the person on the ground going to come hurt me too?" she gives a terrorfied look....
*assuming this truma that sinks in would bring up old truma from the past live I'd assume the self defense mechs would kick in*
Jess curls tighter in her furly things and attempts to force herself to pass out.

Dajess smiles. "Love is the feeling you get when you look at someone or something and there is a warmth within you, where you treasure them and you know you want to have them for as long as you can. Sometimes having that means that you have that hurt you have right there. The people who hurt her won't hurt you, and if they try I will...." He gets angry for a moment, and there is a surge of energy, ironically something Jess finds comforting. "...Well, I can do a lot of things. See, part of my job is that I can put someone somewhere where they can't hurt other people." Right now, nothing from her old life is coming in. Jess goes to sleep in Dajess' arms. She is vaguely cognizant of being taken up stairs then put into a pile of soft and pliable material.

She'll sleep, but she'll miss the energy. When she wakes up she'll want to talk to him about it.

Jess awakes again. Dajess is not there, but downstairs she hears talking and a strange sound that goes "Krikt-krakt-kritk-krakt-hisssss...."

She comes down. In a strange alcove she didn't understand before, some of that tall plant matter she saw has been cut and placed in, and is currently glowing red. Relan smiles and says, "Oh, look at our little girl! How was your nap?"

Dajess smiles. "Of course you didn't make me mad. You've made me as happy as anyone else could be. And I like how you came to apologize for something you thought you did wrong, it shows great character." Relan nods. "Now, one of the things we do as a family is to have a family game night, or something for us to do and talk together."

"I have a few questions....dad...when i asked you about people coming to hurt me...and you looked angery....you made me feel kinda funny....it wasn't a bad funny...it felt kinda soothing....I don't know how to explain it...I felt...." Jess will look alittle frustrated.

Dajess says, "Hmm. I wonder..." Relan looks at Dajess and says, in a voice that sounds like when she was talking to the other 'police', "Dajess... Did you let out some..." Dajess puts down his newspaper and says, "I suppose I did. You see, Jess, I am a... well, I used to be a... well, this is hard. There is a... power within me, a strength that forms what I am. Sometimes when I get mad, it comes out."

"Yes. You see, what you are has an amazing gift. Around other people, you can learn to adopt their powers in some sense. If you want to, we can perform the ritual to give you part of my and her powers, not to mention your own secret." Relan smiles. "Dajess is a great man of great power." Dajess smiles in response and says, "As is she."

Jessica will think for a moment "Do you think it is wise to give me such a thing at my period in life?..." "But I'd love to do it with or without the disregard for safety."

"Well, yes. Imprinting on your family will help you define who you are.", Relan says. "And it'll help in... well, other ways too."

"And the most important game for awhile." Dajess goes into another room. In there, lights turn off, then one, then two, then three, then four, then five reddish lights appear, making a different pattern of illumination. Then there is a scritching sound of some sort. Relan says, "He is preparing the rite."

OOG: He did, but something is dampening traumatic memories for now.
Dajess says, "It is done."

Relan leads Jessica into a room. On the ground are five candles. There is a circle traced on the ground below, that begins with a pentagram (not inverted; and no, it brings no memories, though she gets a vague feeling of both reverance and fear) but adds an almost infinite array of additional circles, points, stars and symbols. The most important is that there is also a triangle set inbetween the five candles. Dajess says, "Stand here." He points to a spot intersecting the top point of the star.

Dajess and Relan stand on the other two intersections. Dajess and Relan both chant, making an almost conversational duet. Jess feels a natural desire to enter in and contribute her bit.

She is not told to stop. In fact, Dajess seems to make a brief nod. The circle of white dust begins to glow, and Jess' body begins to shift. She feels something inside her, a light and a warmth, changing under her conscious command, combining the parts she finds advantageous of the other two. A powerful wind whips up.
