Painter and Murderer.

"Membrane, what are you saying?"

Nny had gotten me in some deep shit before, but I let him take me to a lab. He didn't tell me why, but I was always intrigued by science. When we walked in I was shocked to see an old science classmate of mine. Raymond Membrane. But he never liked his first name. He was just Membrane. Now he is Professor Membrane.

He took a deep breath. "Devi, I would like to take a sample of your DNA and fuse it with your friend here's, to create clones." Why on earth would he want a clone of JOHNNY? He was a fucking homicidal maniac. "Membrane, are you SURE this is a good idea? I mean, we may not be the best people for this." I didn't want to discus Nny's 'hobbies' in public. "Devi, I think you would be perfect for this. You'll never even have to see these kids" he was trying to reassure me.

"If things get out of hand with them, call me. If not, I don't ever want to be reminded of this 'experiment' ever. Got that?" I decide then and there that this was better than becoming a mother the traditional way. "Thank you Devi, thank you."

-11-years-later-

"Gaz, do you ever wonder about who our mom is?" The boy asked his sister who was playing her GS3 intently. "Your voice annoys me. Go away." she ignored him. "But wouldn't it be great to see where else we come from?" the girl was visibly getting annoyed with her brother. "If you want to know so bad, why don't you ask dad?" she gave him a death glare, and then returned to her game. "I've tried, but he always changes the subject." the boy looked like he was thinking then. "Why don't you sneak down and steal our files from the lab. I'm sure there are birth certificates in there... Which would have our mother's name on it." she said all this without even looking at him. "But Gaz, if I get caught I would be DEAD!" he looked really worried. "Dib, ill get the stupid file myself if you'll just SHUT UP!" she then stormed downstairs, and then came back up in a matter of minutes with two files.

"Here they are stupid." she tossed them on the table. The boy hesitated to grab the one-labeled 'Dib'. "COME ON!" she yelled as she grabbed her own. She opened it, and a look of shock spread upon her face. "He's not our father.," she said as she scanned the page. She grabbed two photos, one of me and the other of Johnny, and put them on the table. "These are our parents. Johnny C. And Devi D." she continued reading. "We weren't even naturally born, we were clones morphed with these two's DNA." Gaz concluded.

"It can't be... But Dad.."

"Isn't our Dad. He lied to us. Technically, these two are our parents." she interrupted her 'brother'. "Gaz, we need to find them." he then stood up, picked up the files and led his 'Sister' upstairs to his room. "We need to look them up." Gaz opened up the web browser on her GS3 and dib opened up fire fox on his laptop. "Ill search the girl, you search the Guy." the little girl ordered. Her brother simply nodded his head and typed.

Gaz searched my name on google, and up came links to auctions where my art was sold. "She's an Artist, she used to work at the bookstore in the next town over, and she lives near by." Gaz said her summary kind of proud of her 'mother' being so artistic.

Dib typed in Johnny C. In the little google search bar. Up came newspaper articles, videos, and horrible images all involving Johnny's brutal killings. "He's a.. A.. Murderer. He is commonly called Nny and goes regularly on killing sprees. He is certifiably insane and lives in a house numbered 777." the poor kid was shaking as he read his conclusion. "Hah, our parents are a painter and a murderer. I can see it," she said calmly. "HOW CAN YOU NOT FREAK OUT ABOUT THIS?" the freaked out boy screamed. "Because im Gaz. Now do you want to go meet our 'parents'?" she was completely serious, so dib answered calmly. "Yes."

-Next-Day-

"Are you ready?" dib asked as they stood on the little patch of sidewalk in front of 777. The entire front lawn was littered with god-knows-what and signs warning to go away. "Or course stupid. It smells strongly of rotting corpse here, I wonder why," she said sarcastically. As if she didn't already know why. She rang the doorbell without showing any fear, holding the file in her hand. Dib was a shaking mess. They heard the bell, some near-silent talking, and footsteps.

The door was opened by the man in the picture. He looked about 11 years older, which he was, but just as scary, creepy, and psycho-killer ish. "Hello?" he said as he looked down at the two children. The little girl reminded him of me, and the boy of himself. "Hello, Nny is it? We'd like to have a little chat concerning something that happened 11 years ago. May we come in?" she sounded polite, demanding and menacing all at the same time. All with a death glare only matched by his own. "Come in children... I already have a guest but that's okay right?" he said as he creepily led the two kids in. The girl noticed a kid who was a couple years older sitting in a chair sipping a cup of tea nervously. "And who might you be young lady?" Nny asked.

"Im Gaz. And this is my brother Dib. Now, though you couldn't possibly remember me, I am your daughter." then it hit Nny. "11 years ago, god damnnit that's when Devi and I gave our DNA, no wonder you remind me of me, a part of me is in you!" he cane to the realization fast enough to suit Gaz. "Im Squee!" the other child squeaked as he slowly sank into his chair. "So you are our dad?" Dib asked quietly. "Yup!" he said as he pulled out a knife. "An now I gotta kill you two! If there are anymore people in the world like me then, god I don't even wanna fucking know what that'd be like!" he swung and just missed Gaz's head. Dib was shocked to see Gaz pull out her own sword.

"Hah! You think you can just kill me? Like that?" she said as she hit his knife with hers. Metal to metal, that was a good sound. "You little bitch! You are just like me," he said swinging but getting stopped. Dib ran away, out the door. He waited outside knowing that Gaz would come out soon. "YOU BETTER FUCKING RUN!" he said as Gaz ran out the door. "NEXT TIME YOU WONT GET OFF SO EASY!" Gaz yelled into the house as she walked off with dib. "I like our dad!" she said. "Eh?" Dib's shock face returned as they walked home.

-Next-next-Day-

"Gaz, I hope she's not like he was..." The boy was very nervous after the previous day's incident. They were hoping their visit to me wouldn't be as catastrophic. "She's a painter, at least he wont try to kill us," the little girl said fearlessly. She knocked on the door and Tenna answered. "Hello? Who are you? This is Spooky!" she the. Shoved her toy in the kid's faces. "Hi. We're here to talk to Devi D." Gaz kept her poker face as she awaited a reply. "Kay. DEVI YOU GOT COMPANYYYY!" Tenna yelled to me. I walked up before her and saw the children. I knew exactly who they were. Membrane had kept me updated on them, even though I had told him not to. "Gaz, Dib, come in." the two of them were extremely shocked to learn I knew their names.

"Devi D. You obviously know who we are. So we wanted to."

"Meet me, yeah, I guessed one day you would." I still wondered how they found out about me. But I thought maybe membrane had actually told them. Maybe.. "So Devi, we kind of met with Johnny." oh no, "Did he try to kill you two? Are you guys okay?" I was sincerely worried. It was rare fir someone who met Nny to live to tell the tale. "Gaz pulled out her own knife on him and saved us!" dib said. It was the first time he had spoken. "Im just glad you two are okay. But you probably shouldn't be here." I was being over concerned. Again. "We do have to go soon. It was nice to meet you Devi." Dib said as he led his sister out. "Good bye Devi." Gaz said while leaving. "Good bye kids.." I sounded disappointed. I kind of was. I liked how they turned out. Im glad they weren't too crazy.
