Now that brings up a lot of questions. Her mother had taken her from the dojo for quiet a while and in that time, the young McCain had grown quite a bit more. She wanted to see her family again though, which is why shes come back, despite her mothers wishes.
"What are you going to do for him?" There is a hint of suspiscion in her voice as she dares to take a step towards Gatia and places her hands roughly on her hips. His comments about her father though, that brings her blue eyes to widen quite suddenly. "Wait, you've talked to my father!?"

Gatia: I intend to change his future.... for better or worse. *he looks down at the teenaged child* Spoken with him? Because of me he's able to float around this place as a ghost. I needed the help of someone who knew a lot about this place, so I brought your father with me as a ghost. More than likely he's floating around here somewhere....

Aileen's eyes narrow slightly at Gatia's first comment. There is little she knows about her brother right now, nor what hes been though, so that statement is really starting to bother her. "Change his future how?" Oh yes, this has indeed caught her interest and by that look in her eyes, she demands to know whats going on. The comment about her father brings her body to stiffen up a little more and she turns her attention to the rest of the dojo, as if not looking for that ghostly form. "Papa?"

Gatia: *He chuckles* I have other things to do right now, kid. Tell you what... you can ask your old man about me if you want *The figure just seems to vanish with no warning*
*About a minute passes before anything else happens. After that minute, the feeling of the room changes, for Aileen at least. It was a familiar feeling, a familiar aura. Then the all too recognizable voice comes softly from behind Aileen* ...Aileen?... *Behind Aileen stood TJ's transparent form. He wore a his familiar dark blue pants and loose black shirt. His gloves were gone, and his white hair hung loosely behind his back. His eyes made him unmistakable*

Aileen whips her head back around to Gatia when she at first doesnt hear or see her father. Shes about to blurt something back at him, but the mans sudden disappearance immediately sets her on edge. "Where did he..." Her words are immediately cut short when she hears that familiar voice, which brings her to spin around and face her fathers ghostly image. "Papa!" She cries out, lunging forward to embrace him in a tight hug, forgetting for the moment that hes nothing more than a ghost. Her body steps right through his own and her only seem to embrace herself as she stumbles forward, ending up behind him instead. "....."

ah! *He gasps a little when Aileen passes through him. He sighs silently as he turns to face her. His silent steps bring him forward until he's right behind Aileen. Even thought he is a ghost, he reachs around her so that his arms are around her shoulders. He hated more than anything the fact that he couldn't physically hold his own daughter after so long. All he could do was keep his aura around her and make his hug feel as much like a real one as he could. TJ smiled softly*.....I missed you... Aileen....

Her eyes fall downcast for a moment, saddened now by the fact that she cant hold her father. Its been soo long since she last saw him, she was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to come back. When those ghostly arms slip around her body, she tries to cheer herself up with a smile, but even thats hard to do right now, shes on the verge of tears. "Papa.." She says softly with a choked voice. "I missed you too."

*It did make him glad to hear her voice again. He knew she was tearing up, but he just smiled all the more. He does the only thing he can think of doing.... he decides to be honest with how he felt right now* You've....grown up since I last saw you. I'm sad... that I couldn't be there for you.... but I'm also happy to see you haven't forgotten about me completely.....

"Well, that was moms doing. " She admits before finally finding the courage to turn around and face her father. Yes, those tears are there, one even manages to break loose and finally tumble down her cheeks. She is soo happy to see him right now though. "Things have gotten a little crazy here and she wanted me to be able to protect myself. We've been staying on the harvestor for a while."

*TJ nods and just smiles at her teary eyes* I understand. I can imagine she was worried for your safety.... after I passed. I was worried about what was happening to you, your brothers, and your mother while I was gone. So when Gatia came and said he'd allow me to remain here if I helped him out, I accepted. Now I know why I couldn't find you sooner. *His hand moves to rest on top of her head. TJ seemed almost exactly the way he had when Aileen had last seen him on the night he left, knowing he was near death*.....Are you.....mad at me for not being there...for you or Aeris....?

Aileen shakes her head at that, letting her sunlight orange locks dance over her shoulders for a moment. "Of course Im not mad Papa. I knew you had to leave, it... it couldnt be helped. "She frowned a bit in the memory of that. She was saddened then, it was hard on both her and Aeris. Aeris took it rather hard too. "Are you going to be able to come back?"

*He listens to her and nods. He hoped he would be able to see Aeris soon, so that he could lift her spirits a little to. He smiles lightly at her question* With any luck, yes. Basically, i need to create a new body, the last one wouldn't work because the parasite's still there. The only way I know how to do that with accuracy... is with Thanatos. He has an item that, if he can get control of it, can bring me back

This is at least a bit of good news, although something does come to mind. If all he needs is a new body.. "Papa. We can make you a new body!" The thought surely does bring a smile to her lips. She knows it can be done, Aeris showed her as much. "Just like with mama's, Uncle Forge already has your DNA, we can just remake you one, and you can use that!"

*He thinks for a moment. It's obvious that there is something he doesn't like about the idea* I suppose a cloned body is possible.... *He averts his gaze for a moment, making it clear he has some problems with the idea* Forge..... He took you and your mother from me before you were born..... *He seems to end his explanation there, showing that he did not trust Forge*

There are a lot of reasons not to like Forge. Aeris's gruesome death and the stealing of Aileen, it doesnt really leave a good impression of the man in ones mind. Fortunately, Aileen was spared having to witness such a thing, being to young to even remember at the time. The Forge she knows, yeah, hes odd, but he hasnt hurt her yet, not from what she can remember at least. "But, you trust Mama right?" She asks with a slight tilt of her head. "Mama could just make it. She knows how to."
