Hey guys, M4 here. I want to apologize for not writing in a while. School, especially physics, has been holding me back from writing. I am back though and I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Laters!

The Punisher sat on the couch, grunting in pain as as he stood up, dry blood evident on his body. For some damn reason, It was hard as hell to wipe the blood off of his body.

It's been a few hours since Qrow and Raven left the house. Kali had left earlier on to go back to Manajerie to be with her husband. She left Matt with instructions on how to clean franks wounds, and a good luck to frank before making her departure.

Matt was also cleaning himself up as well. The fight in the prison made him realize that he didn't leave totally unscathed.

He had a few opened wounds that he needed to attend to and while Kali offered to help before she left, he declined and insisted he could do it himself.

Stitching up his last wound, he winced and inhaled sharply as he poured alcohol on it. Hearing frank, he walked over with a bottle of whiskey in hand and handed it to frank.

"Want some?" Frank scoffed but took it and took a long drink from it. Matt limped to the other side of the couch and slowly down. Frank stopped drinking it and gave it back to matt, who took a sip and set it down on the couch, making sure not to spill it.

"Why don't you have your aura unlocked kid?" He shrugged.

"I wanted to be a lawyer so I didn't see the reason to unlock it." Frank nodded in thought.

"What about you?" Frank sighed and fumbled his fingers.

"I-I don't know how to."

...

...

"HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Matt laughed so hard that he fell onto the floor and kept laughing.

"What?" He asked, glaring at him. After a while, matt finally calmed down.

"F-frank, anyone can unlock their Aura." Frank shook his head.

"Well not me. I don't think I ever can to be honest." Matt shrugged before getting up and heading to the kitchen to eat.

He soon came back after a few minutes with 2 bowls of spaghetti and meatballs.

"Not much food but at least these aren't expired." He said as he handed a bowl to frank, who took it and nodded a thank you.

They quietly ate in a comforting silence. They offered no sort of coversation to each other as they ate but they didn't mind.

As they finished matt took the bowls, put them in the sink, and sat back down. But, there was a question that was bugging matt the day he took franks case.

"Frank, do you mind if I ask you something?" He nodded. Matt only gulped before speaking.

"What happened to your family? Like how did they die?" Frank shot him a glared.

"Why do you want to know?" He growled. Matt shrugged.

"If I know, than maybe I can understand. I lost my father too, you know? To the same people that you wage war against. Please, at least help me understand so I can help you."

Frank was staring at him, his eyes were like knives stabbing matts' soul but he stared right back.

"It's been 4 years and I can still remember the smell of blood to this day." Matt decided to stay silent as he listened.

"It was just a normal day, y'know? I was working and my wife tina decided to stay with my kids, Sarah and Frank Jr at the house. They loved going out but decided to stay in for today just to be together I guess. I left early because it was raining. But, when I came home..." Frank paused to collect himself but matt knew he was close to tearing up.

"My daughters favorite book was on her bed. One batch, two batch...Penny and dime yeah? Everyday, I would read her that book. I would read it every single night to show her that daddys home and daddy isn't leaving." A tear escaped his eye and he sighed.

"I w-walk into the house and the place was smeared with blood. The smell was so bad that I almost puked. When I walked into our bedroom...I saw them. Their own organs covered the walls on the room. The three of them had slashes all over their body, My wife and daughter was raped, and my son had his...area cut off." He was crying now and tears were streaming down his face.

"The cops came by but they just brushed it off as another home invasion but an old friend found DNA from a guy who left his semen inside my daughter. I tracked him, and killed him, along with his pathetic gang. I beat him to death with a rock and my fists. I guess you can say that was the day I was truly born." Frank finished with another long swig of whiskey.

Matt only stared at him, a tear escaped his eye as well.

"My Oum...I'm so sorry frank." Frank only nodded as the door opened and in came in raven and qrow.

"Frank, let's finish that talk. Shall we?"

DONE! I'm so sorry guys for the long wait. I needed to push this aside for a bit to focus on school. Side note, all High schoolers, good luck taking your SATs or ACTs because they are coming up quicker than you think. Study up like I am and get yourself a spot in a good college.

P.S: Due to SATs, I may not be posting again for a while. But don't worry, I'll be back and give you guys another chapter. PEACE!
