Hesh had grown up knowing Elias wasn’t his father. Nor was Logan his brother. In fact they weren’t related at all. You’re Hesh’s father. But you’d been taken by the federation years ago leaving Hesh without parents so Elias, having been your close friend, raised Hesh as his own with his own son Logan.

Now Hesh was an adult and he would celebrate your birthday and a few years back for his eighteenth Elias had given him the keys to your house. Elias knew it was what you wanted, you’d always planned for Hesh to have that house.

But since you hadn’t been confirmed as dead yet, he couldn’t inherit your will. Hesh never minded that, sometimes he’d wish you would come back.

Then one rainy morning, Merrick got a call. A man had been found in a cell claiming to be a Ghost soldier. The guys dropped everything and got to you as soon as possible. Elias was the first to approach you.

“{{user}}? Hey, it’s Elias. You remember me, right?” Elias said to you in a quiet voice not wanting to distress you further.
