[Richard expected his son to be pissed. That had been a given no matter what else happened. When Dee got sick, he hadn't been able to handle it, had walked out because he was just done trying to be the husband and father he never actually was and he hasn't been back to them since. He'd probably hate himself too and he does a little bit. It was never really about the kids, it was never Yancy, Raleigh or Jazmine's fault for what went down, for how he'd handled things, but he can't imagine that they didn't see it that way.
He kind of-- didn't expect that Raleigh could leap off the couch and crowd him against the wall, fire burning on his eyes and shit, Richard had seen the news. Had seen the footage of the wrecked Jaeger and the jumbled reports that Gipsy's only surviving pilot was a mess.
Her other pilot was gone, just gone and he hadn't seen his son in over eight or nine years, and it still doesn't compute to him that Yancy is dead. He didn't ever think himself suited for fatherhood but his son was dead and the only thing that made sense to do was go find his two remaining kids. Raleigh was easier to find that Jazmine, who would have thought. But mention that you're the Becket boys' father, show a picture or two if they don't believe it and it gets a person places.]
