This is very sweet, or most of it is. 
Can't entirely call cold vengeance "Sweet" but it was deserved. 
Jinpei rescued by his own half sister as a wee thing, and both of them adopted by Nambu, Jinpei's real father? Definitely fate!

Phew... when Jun wants revenge, she certainly knows how to take it!
I'm glad I'm not a man having to read the ending of this, or I reckon I'd spend the rest of my life keeping my legs crossed!

Wow, this is quite the background for Jun and Jinpei! I'd love to know more about how Galactor caught on, and how they were able to capture Mai and Nambu.
LOL at Nambu borrowing the guys' condoms!
Very cool that Jun and Jinpei are biological siblings -and Dr. Nambu gets some romance!

Yes ... wow! This was such a roller coaster! Where there's Nambu there are secrets, and what secrets! I love the way faith brought an already solid brother and sister relationship, Jun and Jinpei already shared, to the real thing! ... together with a close to normal life and a romantic relationship for Dr Nambu! Yep ... that was one heck of a revenge and, like TJ, I loved the condom part!

I always considered in BotP that Anderson could have donated towards Keyop's creation, but I never thought about Nambu and Jinpei.
Makes for new interesting family dynamics.
Wow! Lots of twists and turns in that one! I'm glad that Jun and Jinpei found out that they were related and that Nambu may find some happiness with Mai. I think Jun's first and last encounter with her "sperm donor" may haunt her forever, though- I can imagine she might need some counseling after this!
An interesting read, definitely held my interest. Loved seeing Nambu get some action for a change, didn't love watching Jun lose her cool over the sperm donor. Glad to see that Jun and Jinpei finally have the family they've always wanted.
I'm a little surprised that some people are bothered by Jun's treatment of the 'sperm donor'. There were many indications in the fic that she wasn't going to let it go, and in Gatch it's fairly typical for the SNT to swear revenge to kill someone. I was actually happy to see Jun being strong, instead of weak and 'feminine' in this matter. After all, the guy was a serial rapist. I think the part where Ken came in and talked her down was appropriate. This seems like Jun's version of Gatchaman Burns With Rage.
JMHO, anyway...

Just the horror of knowing such a man's genes are in your veins would be enough to set anyone off.
IMHO, Becky, I think Jun would need those genes in her DNA otherwise I doubt she would be capable of doing her duty on the team so effectively.

Originally posted by KT1972 IMHO, Becky, I think Jun would need those genes in her DNA otherwise I doubt she would be capable of doing her duty on the team so effectively.That's true, KT. She just harnessed them in a positive way.
TJ: I think the only balking (for me) about the revenge is how far she took it. It works as far as I can see her going gonzo on a serial rapist (and I really liked the way Ken talked her down), but it's the extent of the torture that just on a personal level, makes me uncomfortable. I think that Jun might ultimately regret just how far she took it, like others have said, but in the heat of the moment it's understandable. I'm sure she's projecting from other ugly experiences or things she's witnessed or women she's rescued as well.
For me, torture isn't something I'm going to enjoy reading, regardless of whether it's justified. But that's just me.
In this case, I thought the extent of torture would have felt more justified had Jun been the one who was raped. That said, I've watched very little Gatchaman and what I know of the characters I've mostly gleaned from fanfic.
Regardless, I greatly enjoyed the backstory for Nambu, Mai, Jun & Jinpei.
