Thank you for the reviews. I appreciate them.

Rainbow Colours: Yeah, mysteries rock! Hope you like this one.

Zero: This fanfic site makes me finish my stories because I know people are reading and following so I'm forced to continue even when motivation lags. Thank you for the feedback because it helps me know what people think.

Guest: I hope I don't disappoint. Sometimes I feel like I start well but finish lamely.

I don't own GenRex.

When Circe and Beverly walked into the kitchen they saw Rex and Caesar seated at the table eating breakfast.

"Morning, guys. Where were you?" Rex asked mouth full of eggs.

"Eww, Rex, swallow before you talk." Circe wrinkled her nose at him.

"Sorry, mom." Rex said with a grin.

Circe stuck her tongue out before going over to the stove to help herself to some eggs.

"Who made these?" She asked smelling the delectable aroma.

"Caesar," Rex said mouth full again.

Both girls shot a look at Caesar.

"Don't look so surprise. Caesar's a great cook." Rex bragged. Caesar shrugged as he opened the paper and began perusing the headlines.

"Wow, a doctor and a cook. You'll be quite a catch." Circe teased. She glanced over to Beverly who started to turn red. A slight cough came from behind the paper. Beverly opened the fridge to hide the red spreading across her cheeks.

"So what are we doing today?" She asked casually, pretending to look for something to eat.

Rex put down his fork, his eyes sparkling. "I can't wait to show you the tapes I found in the cellar under the shed."

"Hmmm…wait? Cellar under the shed?" Caesar put the paper down.

"Yeah, I've like told you this like a million times." Rex rolled his eyes.

"No, you kept saying shed. You never said anything about a cellar." Caesar looked at his brother. "And it's not a cellar; it's mami and papi's lab. There could be parts I could use. And maybe I can find some of their notes…." Caesar was actually getting excited for the first time. He put the paper to the side and got up. He pulled Rex up by the arm and began dragging him out.

"Hey, wait! What about breakfast?" Rex asked.

"You're already on thirds." Caesar told him. "Besides, lunch will be in three hours."

"I'm a growing boy." Rex protested as he reached to grab some bacon for the road. "Three hours is a long way off."

"You're supposed to grow vertically, not horizontally. Now come on. Where's the lab?" Caesar had both his hands on Rex's shoulders and was wheeling him out.

Circe and Beverly looked at each other and shrugged. They followed the brothers out.

"That's a thermal transponder. I've been looking for one for weeks. They're back ordered. And here's an electromagnetic generator. I can't believe it! An atomic battery. I used the last one for Beverly's hairdryer." Caesar was rummaging through the items in the lab.

Rex tapped his foot impatiently. "Caesar, are you going to watch the video or not?"

"Hmm? What Rex? Oh look papi's notes on nanite propagation." Caesar almost squealed.

"Wow, never seen him so excited before." Circe mumbled.

Beverly was trying hard not to grin. She had seen Caesar like this several times before especially after a struggling with a difficult quandary. She thought it was… endearing. It at least made him more human. Suddenly, he turned to face Beverly. He grabbed her arms and smiled broadly.

"I think we can finally get that electrocapacitor working." Caesar was referring to his latest project.

Beverly was equally excited. "Then we can use that to power the hypermagnetictransducer."

"Exactly!" Caesar and Beverly looked at each other beaming.

Rex cleared his throat. "Should we leave you two alone?"

Caesar immediately let go of Beverly and started gathering bits and pieces into a carton. Beverly turned away trying to stop her face from getting red.

"Beverly would you mind bringing this box back to the research pod? I need to look around to see if there's anything else I can use." Caesar asked without looking at her.

"Sure." Beverly said glad a reason to leave.

Circe was having a hard time suppressing a laugh. It was obvious that there was something between them but both were loathed to admit it.

"You want some help?" Circe asked.

"No, no. I'll be right back. We still need to watch those home movies." Beverly was already walking up the stairs.

"Yeah, I want to see Rex as a cute little kid." Circe snickered.

"Hey, I wasn't just a cute little kid… I was devastatingly adorable!" Rex declared.

Circe rolled her eyes and Beverly giggled. Even Caesar's mouth upturned slightly.

"You're so modest Rex." Circe shook her head.

"Just calling it how I see them." Rex grinned.

Beverly could still hear Circe and Rex bantering when she got out of the cellar.

She wondered if she and Caesar could ever have that kind of easy back and forth. Probably not. Beverly sadly sighed. After putting the box down in Caesar's lab she walked down the ramp.

Suddenly she stopped. Right around the house was the face she saw in the window last night. In the open, she could now see that the poor thing was misshapen and deformed. One leg was higher than another. His back was twisted and his face looked like someone had pushed his cheekbones into his head. He had a poncho the exact same color as the piece of fabric caught on the splinter. Beverly stood rooted to the spot, unsure as to what to do. When the person noticed Beverly, he jumped excitedly and beckoned her to follow him. Against her better judgment, Beverly ran after the dwarf. As she neared his spot he bolted.

"No, wait!" Beverly panted, calves aching from the mad dash. She saw him turn the corner. She followed until she came to a rundown part of the hacienda. The little man had disappeared.

"Where are you?" Beverly asked frustrated. She walked around looking for the person but not looking where she was going. As she stepped backwards she fell over and landed on her posterior. "Ouch!" She rubbed her sore tailbone. Then as she looked to see what she had tripped over, she couldn't stop a scream from coming out of her mouth.

It was a decaying arm.

You know I realized in my last fanfic, What if, I never properly thanked the people who read and I'm not sure if they are reading this. But if you are thank you HiddenHero220, Baldore, motherafrica, KakaAnko, SDF, generatorlaiba, and of course you Rainbow Colours. I appreciate you taking the time out to write a review. I know it's a pain sometimes.

Also don't read too much into the equipment Caesar is picking up. I seriously just strung a few big words together.
