Chapter 21
Terry let out a sinister chuckle, hopping off the ring as he left (Y/N) alone. He confronted the figure with a smug smile that spread like butter across his face.
"What a lovely father-daughter reunion!" he exclaimed.
(Y/N) hopped off the ring, ignoring Terry to get a good look at her father. The man she hadn't seen in four years was finally standing in front of her. Her voice almost broke, gasping for air, just as she was about to say something. She was overwhelmed with joy.
Her father knelt down before her, completely ignoring Terry as well. He examined her face, cupping her cheek and taking a good look at hos much (Y/N) had grown.
"Are you crazy?" he chuckled. "Fighting him on your own?"
"It was all for you. Four years and it was all worth it..." she sniffled, breaking down in his arms.
Her father gently set her aside as he immediately turned to face Terry, ready to take him on.
"This, is between us... It's for her" Terry hissed, indicating (Y/N)'s father knew exactly who he was talking about. "This isn't over"

*Flashback after Miguel found out about Sparrow*
"SENSEI" he yelled, repeatedly knocking over and over again on Johnny's door.
In the middle of his steamy make-out session with Carmen, he growled under his breath, annoyed someone had interrupted the middle of something he's wanted for a long time from a special someone. He gestured Carmen to head for his bedroom as he hurriedly slipped on a shirt to answer the door.
"W-What Miguel?" he stammered, with a mixture of annoyance. "I'm busy!"
"Sensei... there's something important I need to talk to you about" Miguel pleaded.
Johnny looked around to see if there was anyone else out to bother him. He gently closed the door behind him to follow Miguel who was holding up a locket in front of him.
"Sensei, I found out (Y/N)'s been searching for her father" Miguel admitted, only to earn a confused look across Johnny's face.
"Miguel, what the hell is going on?" Johnny snapped.
Miguel flashed the locket before his eyes as his confused expression toned down, slowly transforming into a sudden realisation.
"I know you're not his biggest fan and you don't like him. But you need to talk to him" he added, closing the locket and handing it to him. "She's his daughter, sensei. She has that right."
Johnny kept the locket Miguel gave him, keeping it in his pocket. He thought about the times he never got to see his own son, realising it was only the right thing to do. Even if he didn't like who her father was. Johnny zoomed back to his apartment to grab a set of keys, directing Miguel to his car.
"Sensei, where are we going?" Miguel questioned, gesturing his index finger towards the set of car keys Johnny was holding.
"To find her father" he answered.

Meanwhile, Xander had been tending to Luna's wounds at Mitch's place, given he was her only emergency contact at this point. The last place she wanted to be was in her own house. Mitch hadn't expected her to show up - or Xander to accompany her since he assumed they weren't on talking terms.
"You got beat pretty bad" Mitch sighed as he cleaned the remainder of the blood from her face.
"I know" she mimicked, rolling her eyes and wincing every time he pressed upon the wounds. "But I'd never turn on my best friend or put my mother in trouble"
The boys stayed silent as Xander was about to leave. Luna turned to him, grasping the piece of clothing she was able to, as tightly as possible. He budged for a minute until he had no other choice but to listen to what Luna had to say.
"Xander, where are you going?" she asked, looking at him with a pair of eyes that expressed gratitude.
"Luna, I wanted to take your friend down. Dad ordered it because her father caused grief to mine. But I didn't know you'd get involved and I care about you as my friend" he explained, taking her arm off gently. "But then I saw that you both would literally die for one another."
"What do you mean?" she frowned as Mitch held her hand, now focusing on what Xander had to say.
Xander paused and took a moment to gather his thoughts. Did he really want to tell her what was going on? He looked at them both, knowing that he had to give them some answers. Unsure, Xander crossed his arms and took a moment longer to decide, until he surrendered to the expressions on their faces. There was no way he could hide this anymore.
"I mean, she's out there alone, fighting for you. Just like you did for her" he finally verified.
"No we have to stop her, she's crazy. Her temper is going to fuck her over" she protested.
Luna yanked her hand off of Mitch's as she was about to follow Xander. Realising what she had done, she once again turned to Mitch to peck his cheek to reassure him she was just in a rush. She gently swiped her thumb across his lips, admiring his face.
A quick small smile took over as Mitch did the same. He quickly took both her hands, intertwining their fingers in to give it a gentle squeeze.
"Go. Save your friend. She needs you right now..." he whispered, planting a kiss on her forehead.
She bounced up on her feet to follow Xander and find her best friend.

A/N: HAHAHAHAHA you guys thought I was going to reveal who the father is? Not so fast... sit tight for one chapter longer, we are VERY close... I would still strongly encourage you all to read this chapter because this is my major lead-up to the big reveal.
Had to give some love to my favourite supporting couple (Luna/Mitch) I don't know why lol.
Just a question for my own reference: Who do you guys think the father is? And how eager are you for the big reveal?
