"Khan? Who's that?"
Khan put his arm out, blocking Mina from stepping out behind him but also blocking the person approaching from going around him. He felt her hands grip his shoulder instead, hauling herself up to peek over. Though his face normally rested in 'bitch' mode he felt it shifting to more. His lips pulled back instinctively into a small snarl, a threat towards the one approaching.
He didn't like this person purely because of what he represented.
For the first time since he was a child Khan had found a friend. He'd found some sort of family. He'd carved out a place for himself, a home, in Hisui. He had gotten comfortable. And though he'd always known it was likely that it would end one day, that Ingo or Mina might recover their memories, that Akari might figure out how to move them all through time again, he'd been pretending that it wouldn't happen. That things would go on as they were. He could wander the land, maybe with someone by his side, maybe not. He could return somewhere to someone who would be happy to see him, who would greet him with a hug and ask about his wellbeing. How long had it been since anyone had been happy to see him?
The semi-peaceful existence he'd carved out for himself was under attack. It was unfortunate he hadn't realized this man had come through a rift or he'd have killed him before he could make himself known. Khan wasn't above that, wasn't above protecting himself and what he had found by all means necessary. Maybe it was selfish but he felt he deserved to be a little selfish.
"Do you know him?" Mina asked.
Unfortunately, yes.
He watched Emmet stroll towards them a few more steps, his face more lined and slightly more gray than Khan remembered seeing it on the television. The outfit was a far cry from that which he'd known before. He could recall hearing that Emmet had left the subway for one reason or another but hadn't realized the outfit had gone as well. The former subway boss had been looking behind Khan, looking at Mina, at his wife, but his gaze turned to Khan when his arm moved. His eyes turned sharp and steely, the smile going from something genuine to more like a baring of his own teeth. There was a challenge in his eyes.
Khan had never backed down from a challenge.
"No." Khan rumbled. It wasn't entirely a lie- he'd never met either subway boss in person before, only watched some of their commercials and shows.
"Well then, let me introduce myself. My name is Emmet. I've traveled a long way searching for some of my family. I believe they can be found here" The friendly snarl only got bigger. "Would you be able to help me?"
#khan a.#mina#emmet#champion emmet#em&m#khan gets v protective of his family which also results in possessiveness#not in a 'nobody but me can have them' way but 'i can keep them safest'#(trust issues much?)#so after he's found his comfort and family in hisui he KNOWS that this bastard is coming in to wreck shop#he KNOWS emmet is going to throw the peace he's found into upheaval#things may not be perfect and khan may be walking a tightrope of 'when will their memories return'#but he's selfish enough (after all. hasn't he deserved the right to be selfish?) that he wants it to take as long as possible#he's desperately holding onto the happiness he's found and is terrified of losing it#to the point where he would absolutely kill ingo's twin slash mina's husband if it meant a couple more days of them still caring about him#them still being able to focus on him and show him affection#they would likely hate him if he did kill emmet and he would accept that...#as long as he got to get one last hug before they realized what he'd done#sorry my man is deeply flawed and fucked up :C#khan needs so much therapy#will he ever get it??? probably not. that's what fighting pokemon is for :)
