It wouldn't be a good idea," Serafall sighed sadly as she said that. Jake looked saddened. She and Ajuka figured it wasn't a good idea for him to meet with his family members before he had technically been born.

Maybe they were just being paranoid about it, but time travel of the magnitude Jake had undergone had never happened before…ever.

"Why not?" he asked angrily. "Does he not give a shit about me either, like my shitty father?"

"Wait, what?" Serafall interrupted. "We were under the impression that your father didn't even know you existed," she said.

"Huh?"

"No offense, but we kinda assumed you were an accident during one of Zeoticus's various dalliances throughout the human world," she explained sheepishly.

"Are you saying that's not the case?" If true, then that would be big news to share with Sirzechs and Ajuka. The fact that Zeo knew that Jake actually existed and still abandoned him would be huge.

The Gremory clan is supposed to be all about family, after all. If the other clan members found out that he abandoned his second son to the human world just because he was a half-devil, then Zeo would have his title as clan head stripped from him!

"It's kind of a long story," Jake said as he scratched his cheek.

"Why don't you start from the beginning, then?" Serafall said. "We can talk about your older brother and your father more another day." That seemed like it was going to be a kind of heavy conversation to Serafall anyway…

So Jake began explaining that weird Sunday to Serafall, trying his best to recall all the details of his encounter with the four members of the Hero Squad.

When he got to a certain point in his explanation of what Jeanne said about his mother, however, Serafall sputtered in shock.

"Wai-wait just a minute, Jake," Serafall said. "So this Jeanne girl specifically said that you are a direct descendant of Solomon on your mother's side." Serafall was internally freaking out about that revelation.

If it was true, then they would need to keep his mother's side an absolute secret, or else Jake would be killed! And if he was killed, then Sirzechs might go off the deep end and start a war with whoever slew his younger brother...

"Umm yeah," Jake explained, "she said it was the reason I was able to wear a crucifix without being burned by it." Jake's explanation sounded like proof enough in Serafall's opinion.

She couldn't think of anything else that would let anyone with a drop of devil blood in their veins ever touch a cross without getting scalded.

"You need to listen to me right now, Jake," Serafall said extremely seriously.

"The information that you're a descendant of Solomon and have actually inherited his power can NEVER get out," she said, emphasizing the word 'never.' "If the other factions found out about his bloodline surviving, there will be a war!" she continued.

"Wait, what!?" Jake was shocked. "Just because its power allows me to copy the powers of other people," Jake said. "Why is that such a big deal?" he asked.

Serafall sighed at his ignorance, not that it was actually his fault. "Damn Zeoticus for abandoning his kid!" She thought to herself. She explained, "Jake, it's not just other people's powers, as you put it.

It's their bloodlines, their legacies, possibly even their divine authorities that you can copy and imitate. You can literally copy the powers of gods themselves," she explained to him seriously. "You might not know this about gods yet, but you will. The majority of them are extremely paranoid and extremely petty.

If there was a being running around using their powers willy-nilly without their permission, then they WILL try to kill them. And it's not just gods that will be angry about having their supposed exclusive abilities copied!

Solomon himself went out of his way to steal the powers of as many devils as possible. In the end, he actually copied the powers of all 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, making him incredibly powerful and dangerous."

Jake just nodded along at her explanation. "So tons of people will try to kill me if they find out," he asked.

"That is correct," Serafall said. "We'll come back to your copy powers later. Why don't you continue the story for now?"

So Jake continued his tale of his encounter with the supposed teenage heroes. He eventually got to the part where it was explained that his crucifix was actually a magic seal made with devil magic to hide his heritage and make him appear as an ordinary human.

"Damn Zeoticus, what were you thinking!" Serafall thought to herself in anger as her worst-case suspicions turned out to be true. "Sirzechs will be furious when he finds out his brother was intentionally abandoned!"

Serafall also had a suspicion as to why. 'Did Zeoticus know about Jake's mother's heritage? Was he trying to protect his son in some twisted way, or was he trying to just be rid of him.' She wondered.

Eventually, they reached the part of Jake's unsealing of his powers and how his latent stored magic started rampaging after being repressed for so long.

The Georg guy tried to use his "Dimension Lost," but Jake ended up absorbing its powers somehow, and then it mixed with his rampaging demonic power, and BAM!

He ended up getting flung through space and time to Britain 20 years in the past. "And here we are now," Jake said as he finished his tale.

Serafall just sighed at Jake's luck. The fewer people that knew about his bloodline, the better, and there were clearly at least four other people in the future who knew about him.

She would need to "take care" of those four so-called heroes. Serafall asked Jake for the exact date and location of where the meeting took place so she could inform Ajuka about it.

To her, the one good thing about Jake being sent to the past meant that they could plan a bunch of contingencies for his future.
