This started as a text conversation between me and my sister - some events mentioned in this story are actually from other fanfics that I read and enjoyed which I will list here.

11 pm on Tracy Island, Scott and Virgil are the only ones awake in the quiet night.
Virgil's watch vibrates making him start, the delicate line he was painting smearing across the canvas. Immediately worried for his brothers safety, Virgil opened the com channel. Scotts blue hologram lit the room.
"Hey have you seen Lemaire's latest interview? That guy really gets on my nerves."
Virgil breathed a sigh of relief, no one was in danger. "No Scott I haven't, I'll look at it now. By the way you ruined my painting for this."
Scott just scoffed impatient for Virgils opinion.
Virgil went and sat down at his desk and started scrolling through the millions of videos on Lemaire's page "I can't find it."
"It's literally the most recent video on his site." came the reply.
"Oh I found it, I was just being blind."
"Probably Virg. Just don't go actually blind on me, Like someone..."
"Ha I'll try not to. I don't think I hit my head that hard this time."
Forgetting his reason for calling, Scott started "When did you hit your head?"
"Nevermind it was ages ago" Virgil said, quickly trying to backtrack "What time are you talking about then?"
Shaking his head, Scott decided he was still going to follow up on this matter just not right now. "I was actually referring to the time you snuck up to Thunderbird Five for John, when you thought I didn't know."
"I did?" Virgil said feigning naivety.
"Yep don't play innocent. Johnny was having migraines and he went temporarily blind, you went up to comfort him. Scotty Sense always finds out." Scott tapped his nose.
"Oh yeah that time," Virgil rolled his eyes "I thought I had gotten past you. Well you know he called me and I'm guessing he didn't want full smother brother unleashed on him so I went up and helped."
"You cannot evade Scotty Sense," Scott scoffed.
"Yeah shouldn't've assumed that I could... or did John tell you what happened? Because I thought I did a pretty good job of being quiet. I do know my way around the squeaky floorboards that just happen to be right outside your room."
"John didn't tell me, but I'm not telling you how I did find out. And are you implying I deliberately put the squeaky floorboards outside my room?" Scott said in a fake offended tone "Besides everyone knows their way around the floorboards, I used to sneak past dad remember? Come to think of it it was probably dad who set them."
"I don't think we will ever know how your Scotty Sense works," Virgil stated "All we know is that it is plain annoying when we're trying to sneak away somewhere. You always find out somehow. I think we have all had our experiences with getting past the floorboards. For some of us it took a lot of practice to know what ones to stand on, and we found out the hard way what happens if we stand on the wrong one."
Laughing Scott replied "Was it dads lectures or mine that made you guys learn quickly where the squeaky floorboards are? And I don't find my Scotty Sense annoying thank you very much."
"It was probably the HOUR long lectures that gave us motivation to learn where they were. You might like Scotty Sense but Johnny Allie Gordo and I don't, It's just as bad as grandmas cooking."
"Ow harsh."
Virgil chuckled "By the way, please don't tell grandma that I said her cooking is bad, If anyone asks I love grandma's chicken wings."
"Virg I know to cover you over grandma's cooking, you don't need to tell me."
"Good we all know what happens when grandma catches us saying things like that, I don't want to have to clean the whole house again."
They fell silent for a time simply enjoying the close presence of each other.
"To be honest I think it is more of a brother sense than specifically mine," Scott said in earnest "You always know when we...even me, are unwell and Gordon knows exactly what to say to make us laugh. Johnny's the peacemaker and listener. Alan… Alan is still getting his but it won't be long. To be honest I am looking forward to seeing what our Alan can bring to the team. Don't tell him I said that though I have to play fearless leader."
"Hey Alan! guess what Scott said…" Virgil mocked "OK Mr 'Fearless leader' I won't say anything. So far I think Alans ability is to be able to fall asleep literally anywhere. You didn't mention Kayo."
Thinking Scott replied "Kayo is our silent sister…She's the only one who can get past me."
"Really! I need to ask her how she does it maybe she can teach me a few tricks, mind you I'm nowhere near as nimble as her. Or maybe you just have a soft spot for her aye Scott?"
"Pu-lease I do not have a thing for her," Scott said hiding his blush.
"Are you sure Scott? You get to Kayo pretty quickly if she's in trouble just like John got to O'Bannon when the meteor hit her space station."
"John's got something else entirely, called love. I admit I have a crush on Kayo. Though it is a bit awkward because she is like our sister."
"Fair enough Scott, but you and Kayo are cute together. In regards to John I'm surprised that you haven't checked O'Bannon out to make sure she's good for our brother."
"Who says I haven't?" Scott said grinning "She's checked out so far, but she does seem to be a bit reckless which means John has to save her. I am not so happy about that."
"I can't believe you Scott! You better not do that to me," Virgil exclaimed "Though it is good to know that she checks out, I hear she's been giving John a run for his money in their zero G handball games."
"You've got a girlfriend?!"
"I was meaning any future relationships Scott."
"Good! Made me worried I was losing my touch!"
Virgil laughed and glanced at the clock 1:58 "We best get some sleep Scott so we can do our best on any early morning missions."
Scott nodded "You are right. Night Virgil, I hope no missions come in…"
At that John came over the emergency channel "We have a situation"
"Spoke too soon," Virgil said to Scott as he jumped up and headed to the living area and his access elevator to Thunderbird 2.
Scott laughed "Thunderbird 1 launching now, see you in the sky brother."
So there it is, I'd love any Feedback
