Back in ??century Joe and Nicky found a child that turned out to be immortal but despite that, it was still growing up, the normal way, until reaching ~25. They took two decades off and raised it in secret. Even Andy and Qyunh didn’t know about it. The adult child decided it didn’t want to spend the rest of the eternity being a warrior and went their own way. Their parents visit it every couple if years/decades. The kid is doing great. Until. Copley figured out the child exists and told Merrick so when Joe and Nicky are taken to the lab, their child is already there, already being experimented on.
So, um, consequences of that. The child is traumatised, they were never prepared for that. Hiding it from Andy (is she disappointed, angry or gets it?), extra rage on Booker for endangering the child, the child meeting Andy they heard so much about (and Booker too who his fathers told him is their brother, oops). Bonding with Nile?
(Twist for extra drama: Booker had somehow found out years ago and he was the one who told Copley but maybe not with the intention of the child being captured? More like, “hey it’s curious immortal children grow into adulthood? That seems relevant?”)
