It was thanksgiving and you invited your boyfriend and his father over to your parents house for thanksgiving dinner. It had been a crazy and terrifying week but you were excited to finally be able to relax back at your childhood home and enjoy food with your loved ones

Your boyfriend, Alex, stood next to you as you chopped the vegetables. He was a little nervous, you could tell, he was nervous because he hadn’t seen his father in years. Alex didn’t go into the military like his father had hoped and instead became a reporter, you both worked for the same media company, that’s where you two had met

“Al, relax, your father can’t be that bad” You said trying to soothe his nerves

“I just haven’t seen him after our last argument” Alex sighed

“I know-“ a knock on the front door interrupted you. You paused from chopping up the vegetables to go open the door

Alex’s father, James Gorman, stood there and your eyes widened, a sense of uneasiness filled you. You weren’t a human, you were an alien, an alien that happened to be enemy number one for the US government, an alien that also happened to have been kidnapped and tortured by General James Gorman. James didn’t seem to recognize you as he came inside, that was a relief. You gently let go of the crushed doorknob in your hand as you closed the front door.

“Dad, long time no see” Alex said

“My boy! It’s been too long” James wrapped Alex up into a hug. After a second he let Alex go and turned to you. “Have we met before? You look familiar” He said
