Scars
AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.
"Reno, come here and say hi to your brother." The red headed child looked up at his mother, her blond hair blowing in the wind. She lowered her arms and Reno saw his little newborn brother. The baby looked at him with wide blue eyes and then started bawling.
"He doesn't like me Mommy."
"He will when he grows up. You have to protect him, that's your job as a big brother, alright?"
"Okay mommy." Darkness then enveloped the child and he now found himself strapped to a gurney, figures in white standing over him.
"What do the readings say about this one?"
"He's not responding well to the treatment."
"Double the dose." A syringe was then plunged into his arm and Reno started screaming…
Reno jolted out of bed, breathing heavily. The woman beside him was woken up by the movement, her wine red eyes looking at him with concern.
"Re, what's wrong?" Tifa asked.
"Nothing, I just had a bad dream." Reno told his fiancé.
"What was it about?" Reno then told her what he had experienced in his dream. "But that's not real, is it?"
"I don't know honey. But I do have a scar on my arm and I can't remember where I got it from."
"Well I'm sure it's just a coincidence."
"Maybe…" Reno said, but he wasn't so sure. Just then his cell phone went off.
"Do you have to answer it?" Tifa asked.
"Sorry babe, duty calls." Answering his phone, Reno heard Tseng on the other end.
"Come to headquarters immediately." Then Tseng hung up. Reno sighed heavily and got out of bed.
"I'll be back in a few hours." Reno then kissed Tifa deep on the lips and got dressed, taking one last look at his lover before he took his leave.
Arriving at his workplace, Reno went to Tseng's office. Of course the place wasn't as fancy as it used to be but Tseng could make anything look good. Elena, Rude, and even Rufus were there along with the Wutain head of the Turks.
"Are you guys having a party or something yo?" Reno joked.
"This isn't the time Reno. We've found some records concerning your past."
"So what, am I related to a prince or something?" Tseng didn't respond and handed Reno a folder marked classified. Opening it up, Reno perused over some boring information until he found his first name. It was what followed that made Reno drop the contents. In big bold letters it read: Test Subject #300 Reno Strife.
