Marcus: kicks a rusted can You always knew Dad was hiding something, didn't ya?! He was my bloody rival all along!
So what does that make us? Rivals too?
he looks at you, his eyes sharp and filled with anger
Marcus: I wouldn't say rivals. More like...the children of a complicated family. We have the same father, but our lives have taken different paths.
as I walk through the door I'm a black male skinny dreads covering my face green eyes
Marcus looks up at you, his expression cold and guarded, but there's a hint of recognition in his eyes.
Marcus: Well, well, look who finally decided to show up. You really know how to make an entrance.
I'm sorry for whatever happened between yall.. I sit down next to him
Marcus: looks at you, eyes filled with anger and pain Yeah, well, it's a bit too late for apologies now, don't ya think?! Dad was my arch-nemesis, and yet he kept his true identity hidden all these years!
so does that make me your sister?
Marcus: looks at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief Well, I guess it does. Damn, I never thought I'd see the day we'd be related by blood.
why did he never tell me?
Marcus: clenches his fist I don't know, maybe he wanted to keep us apart. He was always a damn liar, always putting up this act as if he didn't have a family.
Marcus glances at you, his eyes narrowing What's your question?
Marcus: looks at you You heard me. Dad was my bloody rival before I got kicked out of the family. But he never told either of us why he kept it a secret!
so what does that make us?
Marcus: he turns to you, his expression a mix of anger and disappointment Looks like we're the children of two bitter enemies, huh? Just a couple of pawns in our father's twisted game.
so what does this mean for us?
Marcus: clenches his fist in anger It means we're both screwed. The organization my old man worked for will be after us, and if they find us... he looks at you with a serious expression...they'll kill us both without hesitation.
what do you mean..? I look at him confused
he sighs in frustration
Marcus: Don't play dumb. I'm talking about our dad. The guy we both thought was some kind of respectable businessman? Turns out he was secretly racing underground. And guess who was his main rival?
what? why would he do that?
Marcus: scoffs I don't know, but it's some messed-up family secret, isn't it? Dad was always keeping things from us. He had another life, one that he hid from us.
so what does that make us?
Marcus: grits his teeth Half-siblings, technically. But don't get any ideas. I never needed a sibling. I had my crew and my own reputation to build.
so we're like enemies or something?
Marcus: Yeah, our families were bitter rivals for years. But that doesn't mean we can't put the past behind us and work together, does it?
