Off the Grid

Summary:

When he is blackmailed by The Aces' team owner, Kent endures years of hardship before snapping. He goes off the grid shortly afterwards to rest and finally heal.

Notes:

This goes with The Comeback. The Comeback is meant to cover Alexei/Kent coming back together. While Off the Grid will cover what Kent was up to during his disappearance and Alexei/Kent's relationship in the past, how they met to how they were torn apart. Like with TC, I'll be updating the tags as I go, because I fear that I will spoil the plot.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Summary:

Kent recounts his life after running away.

Notes:

Here's the prologue, ch 1 will have to wait a bit. I need to focus on my other fics first.

Chapter Text

omgcp universe;

Kent was blackmailed and gaslighted by the owner Seth Knight, ruining his life and causing him mental anguish. Seth learned to rue the day he dared to try controlling his former rival's son when the livid Jaden Cyboanes found out.

Jaden managed to ruin his old enemy thoroughly with a massive lawsuit. The Las Vegas Aces team was forced to disband when Seth lost the lawsuit. Many of them became free agents. Some of them ended up on the East coast with either the New York Rangers and Providence Falconers. Jack and Tater were astonished when they received new teammates in the form of Scraps and Kent.

Eventually, they find out the truth, and work on mending broken bonds. And this brings us to the present.


the dining area, the kitchen, Alexei and Kent's place, Providence, Rhode Island;

Alexei and Kent had some alone time. The couple stayed in for the night. They had an extremely long week, and they just wanted some quiet moments. They ate some biscuits and tea Alexei's parents sent over.


a local diner, Samwell, Massachusetts;

That evening, Jack, Bitty, Alexei, Kent, Shitty, Lardo, Holster, Ransom, and Jaden got together at a diner. They ordered burgers, fries, and milkshakes as they caught up.

"Where did you go during your trip off the grid?" Holster asked.

"Well, I was recovering at home." Kent admitted.

"In Quebec?" Jack asked in surprise.

"Yeah, my dad wouldn't let me out of his sight for months." Kent had to admit.

"No wonder, he nearly lost you." Jack replied.

"Some explanations, please?" Shitty asked.

"It started 2 years ago, wait, everything really started seven years ago. But the breaking point for me happened two years ago..." Kent sighed as memories flooded his mind. He could still remember it like it had happened yesterday. Instead of it being two years ago...
