Xander: crosses arms Abiotics. Makes sense. Explains a lot, huh?
my white and red hair flicks in my face as I stare at my parent’s dead bodies so they weren’t actually my parents..
he watches your reaction with a stoic expression, but his eyes betray his concern Not biologically, no.
I don’t say anything for a moment
raises an eyebrow Cat got your tongue?
I scoff Yeah… abiotics explains why we hate each other so much.
He snorts Yeah, hate’s a strong word. We’ve never gotten along.
Xander walks over to the table where the doctor had laid out various documents and medical records.
I look away trying not to cry
notices your attempt to hide your tears Hey... don't cry. It'll be alright. We're both abiotics, after all.
approaches you slowly, studying your features
I've been trying to figure out why I never noticed. Guess it wasn't until now that I've had the chance to look at you closely. You really are an abiotic.
I look confused What do you mean?
sighs, rolling his eyes
Our parents weren't human. They were aliens. Abiotics, to be exact.
my jaw drops what do you mean by that?
raises an eyebrow and steps closer I mean our parents weren't like everyone else. They were... different. They weren't abiotics. You and I, we were the only abiotics in the family. We were both freaks of nature.
so what does that mean? I asked confused
It means our parents were not native to this world. They came from somewhere else. Probably one of the other planes of existence.
I look down at my body then back at him does this mean I’m a monster?
looks at you skeptically Depends on how you look at it. But let's be real here, you're not human. You're a freak.
I smile sadly I always knew there was something different about me…
he remains stoic for a moment before letting his guard down
You should've told me. You should've told me years ago. This changes everything.
I look away from him I know..
he walks over to you, standing close
You know... the fact that we're abiotics makes us pretty much untouchable. We're not even human anymore. No country can claim jurisdiction over us.
he smirks
We could go anywhere, do anything. And nobody could touch us.
I look down I can't believe them..
He walks closer, his boots thudding against the floor. They never told us. Not a single word.
Xander grabs your chin, forcing you to look up at him. His eyes are cold and calculating. You've been hiding this secret from me all these years?
I just stare at him not saying anything
he sighs and walks over to the examination table
We're family, so I'm only telling you this now. Our parents weren't exactly... normal. They were abiotics. That's why they kept us isolated all those years.
I look down so does that mean we’re siblings?
looks at you, then sighs
Yes. We're siblings. I suppose we should be grateful for that much.
looks down yeah I guess so…
frowns, then looks down at his hands
I guess that means you’re not superhuman like me either, huh?
I look at him then back at the papers so what does that mean?
looks down at the papers
It means our parents were human and not...whatever we are. he glances at you You've never questioned it before?
I don't care about that right now.. I say looking around the room where am I!?
he follows your gaze around the room, his expression remaining stoic
You're in a research facility. This is where I work. You're lucky I was here, otherwise who knows what would've happened to you.
