Chapter four alright! Whoop! Now prepare to officially meet Justice and Zakary no sleeping except for Justice but we're gonna fix that!
Justice: please leave me alone
Not a chance. Own nothing except my OC's ok? Ok!
Let it begin!
The next morning was the normal morning at N.E.S.T HQ. Just the usual greetings and morning routines of the soldiers who lived on base for the time being along with the gradually new routine of Skids and Mudflap's bickering over only Primus knows what, the usual morning for anyone that was used to. Yet the next morning at base was very…boring! Without Tatyana, Sparrow, or Psyche even Barricade the atmosphere was very dull. The morning was missing the chipper hyper mood only Tai could bring. The new arrivals couldn't see much of a difference only because they have been around a short time. Ratchet had missed the company that Psyche could really be. Not many humans or bots have passed through the med bay lately except his prodigy and new arrival, Jolt. Jazz had been a completely different Mech only a few hours after Tai and his daughter had left. Waking up without Tai and Sparrow around made him question what reality was. Ironhide had been in his usual place; the shooting rang yet for a whole four hours no one heard a single blast. Prime, had not been seen since his daughter departed. This caused his team and Human companions to worry greatly.
The lambo twins seemed the one's adjusting to the lack of Tai quickly. They did miss the girl who had grown to like a younger sister to them but they had three distractions; Pranks, Video gaming, and Racing. No one seemed in the mood for their pranks and they had no top notch bet to settle to race only one thing was left; Video games. Currently the Lambo twins occupied the bot couch as Mario Kart was displayed on the giant screen. Sunny seemed very into the moment while Sides continued to live in the same moment since yesterday.
Only once or twice Sideswipe hadn't thought of the girl in the picture. The organic look very fascinating and very beautiful. Sides had never thought he'd be one to be thinking of a femme like a love sick youngling let alone a human femme; Arcee, Moonracer, and Chromia where all beautiful two wheelers and nice to be around; Mainly Arcee and Moonracer. Two out of three females that where actually his kind but here he was thinking about the girl in that picture. Someone he doesn't even know and just heard of.
"Sides wake up!" Sunny said. Sides had just notice his twin waving a survo in front of his face. Sunstreaker looked to his twin annoyance playing on his face. He knew Sides had yet to stop thinking about that human. Their twin bond was a blessing and a curse.
"Could you do us both a favor and get over it?" Sunny said knocking the controller from Side's hands. "She's a squishie come on. Go try to frag Arcee or something."
"I would but haven't you heard the human saying don't frag where you work?" Sides smirked leaning back. "Besides, Arcee couldn't handle all this."
"Yeah," Sunny rolled his optics. "She would've reduced you to scrap right about now."
"Oh you're so jealous!" Sides laughed playfully hitting his twins shoulder. Sunny pushed at his twin as he continued to finger at the controller. The two didn't notice Ironhide enter the rec room a dimmed look on his face. Ironhide couldn't stop thoughts of what he had said to Prime the day before. In truth he himself hadn't gotten over what had happened to Marria either; none of the team had really. No one whether it be human or Autobot could truly push the memory of someone important to them to far corners in their minds to be left untouched. Marria had brought happiness to them during a time of the most brutal war in Cybertronian history; continuously giving reasons and the sprits to fight. She had surly been sent by Primus himself into their lives.
"Envy me!" Sides laughed continuing to annoy his twin. At the same moment Jazz entered talking to Tai.
:: This place is for shiz the coolest I've been yet: Tai said over the link.
:: You met the younglings yet? :: Jazz asked leaning against the wall looking at the Lambo twins continuous fighting.
:: No, we got here so late they were already in the land where hamburgers are you suicidal friends. :: Sides had finally stopped harassing Sunny long enough to notice Ironhide and the look he carried with him.
"Hide what's up?" Sides asked.
"Nothing," Ironhide grumbled back. Sides gave him a look. The young warrior didn't have to ask to know something was up with Hide; he seemed sort of out of it.
"Doesn't sound like nothing," Sides smirked. "C'mon we're all friends here! Tell us!" Ironhide looked to his young friend should he tell him or not? More than likely Sides and his twin (mainly Sideswipe) would pester the slag out of him if he didn't tell them.
"Fine," Ironhide said. "Don't tell anyone else I told you this."
"Sure!" Sides smiled. Now Hide had caught the attention of Sunstreaker and Jazz. Ironhide had never exposed a base secret. This only made the bots question what was going on.
"Prime is thinking about Marria." As soon as that name left his lips all motion in the room came to a dead halt. The smile on Sides' and Jazz's face plating disappeared immediately. Sunny's grip on the controller tightened to the point of it breaking to pieces in his hands.
:: Jazz? Hello-yo-yo? Babe? ::
:: Babe I'm gonna have to call you back important meeting, bye! :: Jazz ended the link and looked to Ironhide dumbfounded. Why in the world would he even mention that name?
"What about Ria?" Jazz asked clearly needing some explanation.
"Prime isn't trying to find her again is he?" Sides asked.
"He's convinced the female in the image Sam had shown us the previous day looks like her," Ironhide explained "As am I." All the bot's thought back to the image of the organic. They did not notice but Ironhide bringing it up, she did look similar to Marria. Sunstreaker's optics grew red as the repressed anger began to boil over.
"No," Sunny stood dropping what was left of the controller. "No! She's dead and we all know it!"
"Sunny shud up man!" Jazz hissed. "We don need da whole base ta know."
"I'm not going to relive this again," the anger in Sunstreaker's voice was clear. "I refuse to hold on to false hope that she's alive. There is no possible way she could have survived that explosion. Everything within one hundred miles organic or cybernetic wouldn't be able to survive a blast like that. She died." The hate dripped off Sunny's voice; probably thick enough to resurrect Megatron. Out of all of those who felt like a failure it was Sunny who felt it most. Marria had been his charge, his best friend, the only thing that made him feel he still had purpose to fight this war. When she was lost he had lost the small amount of happiness he had only with her. Sunny looked to his brother as Sides placed a hand on his shoulder. He then felt remorseful seeing his brother look to the floor, hurt.
"Sunstreaker," Jazz said. "We all miss her 'n you know she wouldn't want any of dis. All dat girl eva wanted was us ta be a happy, ta live with no regrets even if her death was one of 'em. We swore we'd keep those promises we made ta her. Don't tell me you 'bout ta break it nah."
"No I'm not." Sunny growled. "Don't tell me about those promises Jazz. We didn't keep one of those promises we made to Marria and you and everyone else knows it. We found Tai, we lived, we fought, we were happy or at least pretended to be but you know what we didn't do? We didn't. Save. Crescent." The golden warrior's voice cracked at that name. "If you guys don't tend to avenge that promise I will; I'll kill the ones who ruined their lives. Not for their satisfaction, for mine." With that Sunny stormed out of the room leaving the three mechs to regret that conversation had even began.
Outside the hanger Jolt and Arcee stood frozen in their tracks; beyond shocked they heard what they did and it pained there sparks. They also regretted Marria's death but more so not keeping that one promise everyone on the team was liable for. Arcee had become Marria's surrogate sister as did Chromia and Moonracer. Jolt couldn't stop the pained pulls at his spark for the one Crescent. Jolt had been her guardian and the memory of his failure to protect her hurt him so. She had been the miracle the team had been waiting for and to lose her crippled them greatly. Jolt looked to Arcee as a harsh whimpered cry escaped her vocal processor. Before he could comfort her Arcee wheeled off in the blink of an optic muffling her cries. Jolt leaned against the hanger wall sliding down to sit on his rear speaking to the dead space around him
"I'm so sorry Crescent. Truly I am."
"Well that was weird." Tai said to herself setting down her phone. She had called to her boyfriend as soon as she woke up and checked on her still sleeping cousins. But it was still weird to her, one minute he's that cool laid back guy she'd fallen for then the next he's all frantic. She didn't let it bug her too much; more than likely it wasn't that bad, but then again Jazz really didn't act that way for no good reason. Tai shrugged it off as she handed a bag to Mikaela. Tai had woken up, well more like was woken the next morning earlier than she would have liked. Ron and Sam had woken the girls to get the last bags they didn't get out of Barricade and Bee so they could drive out to a secluded area to stretch their cramped limbs. Tai had shut Cade's trunk after retrieving her last bag. Before she could walk over to the door she had spotted a wide awake Zak sneak out the gate with a pillow in hand an amused look on his face.
Zak caught sight of Tai and signaled for her the keep quiet holding up the pillow and a thumb up. Tai nodded amused and confused until she saw Sam come out the front door clearly not expecting anything. Seeing Sam round the corner Zak smacked him across the face with the pillow, hard. Laughing, Zak took off running down the street with Sam right behind him.
"You're dead!" Sam called after his cousin. "You're so dead!" Tai stayed back laughing at what she had just seen. If these kids woke up ready to cause trouble she and the twins were in for a run for their money. Sam tackled a laughing Zak to the ground beating him with the pillow. Never a moments rest with this guy!
"Okay, okay," Zak gasped. "I give man, I give!" Sam stopped his assault on the boy and stood out of breath. He offered a hand to Zak, which he took gratefully, then hugged his cousin.
"Missed you Sam," Zak said as he pulled away. "Been too long, you're still a midget I see." Zak ruffled Sam's hair earning him a punch to the arm.
"You're still a puss I see," Sam smirked. "Come on and meet Tai already". As they walked back to the house Tai studied Zak. Zak did look different in person than on his picture. He was really tall; taller than Sam. His arms and legs were long and slim yet muscular at the same time. He walked in a similar way to how her father walked; strong, upright, and really steady. His white hair was longer and in a ponytail the blue ends ending a few inches pass his shoulder. His skin was tanned yet it looked darker than his picture on the boarder of caramel. She then noticed as he closed in Snake bites just blow his lip and a shark tooth necklace.
"Tai this is Zak," Sam said "Zak Tai." Zak looked down to her. She was small but not as small as he had expected. He always expected very new girl he met to be Justice's height. Her skin was ivory with a peachy look to it. She really did have the Witwicky traits he saw with Sam and his uncle; the nose and lips gave it away. He noticed she had Cyber bites and a Septum piercing. Her hair was short and choppy, bleached blonde with blue streaks running through it. With the piercings and hair she almost looked like him.
"It's awesome to finally meet you," Zak greeted holding up his fist. Tai smiled and pounded her fist to his. "Well let's go inside." Zak got Sam's last bags and followed them to his room to help Sam unpack which he wasn't too fond on. Even though they were family; Zak wasn't too thrilled knowing Sam would be rooming with him. His suggestion would be to stick him on the pullout bed or even the garage but his parents didn't take to the idea at all. "How long are you guys gonna stay over?" Zak had set Sam's last bag on his bed.
"About four days," Sam said. "Why trying to get rid of already?"
"Nope just you," Zak smiled. "You do know you're getting the blow up bed right?" Sam gave him the finger. He looked over to Tai again. Zak really couldn't believe that she was finally at their house. He and Justice had heard so much about her and for years wanted to meet her they even wanted her to come live with them to be a family together. The fact that she traveled from home to home really made it difficult to even try to get in touch with her. Zak smiled; at least she was here now.
"C'mon," He said hoping up. "Let's go get food!" Sam and Tai followed but stopped as Zak went into Justices room. She was still asleep; nothing he didn't already expect from a girl who could sleep all damn day. Justice lay sprawled out now on her swinging bed and not her Totoro bed. Tai now had time to really study Justice's room. Her walls where painted to look almost like wonder land and covered in random drawings, family pictures, and anime posters. On the ceiling it was painted to look like a night sky with hundreds of glowing little stars. She had to get that for her room, that and the Totoro bed. Justice's bed was hung from the ceiling by clear wires that were wrapped in fake flower vines. Two large windows were settled of to the right above her Totoro bed. Her dressers where decorated with small anime figurines and art supplies along with hair some hair care stuff and make up.
"AJ get up," Zak said pulling the blinds and curtains open letting in the bright sun. "Come get food. And guess what. Sam and Tai are here."
"Yeah right," Justice groaned turning over on her bed. "Get outta mah room." Zak crouched down next to his sister and made multiple faces to her thinking she couldn't see. Quickly, Justices arm hand flew up punching her brother in the cheek.
"Ow!" Zak exclaimed falling to the side. Justice took a fist full of Zak's white hair and pulled him up to her still sleeping face. A shudder ran through him as he looked to her dimmed menacing morning eyes. "You got some…eye pie right there." Zak laughed as Justice pushed his face back.
"Go AWAY!" Justice yelled to her brother as she threw him back on the floor. Justice buried her head under her pillow as Zak walked out pushing Sam and Tai down the hall. Zak leaned down wrapping his arms around Tai and Sam's necks.
"Don't worry I got a plan." They entered the living room walking over to the kitchen counter/isle taking their seats on the bar stools. Tai looked around the entire room for a second time taking in what she had missed. By in the living room not too far from the large flat screen where sliding glass doors leading to the back yard where she could see an in ground pool. The kitchen was open and Farley small. Over head above in the wall just at the same level as the cabinets was another smaller flat screen. She looked all over until; standing in the kitchen door way leading to another small room stood a tall man. Who was he?
He was just…glaring at her. She looked over to Sam and Zak to see if they noticed him but they just kept talking. She looked back to the man as he continued to glare at her. His eyes were and un-natural rust color that didn't sit well with his really pale dark skin. His hair was short black and spikey sticking every which way on his head. He was very slim but still had a muscular build that kind of scared her. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and had one single piercing which was a silver Labret stud. He wore simple grey basketball shorts and a black tank with 'Hello Titty' written on it that made Tai laugh. This guy may have been scary but she could appreciate a good pun on a shirt. Where the hell could she get a shirt like that anyway?
"Skylar!" A feminine Voice sternly said. A woman with long wavy Red hair, Ivory skin, and brown eyes came from behind him. "Stop looking at her that way you're going to frighten her away." The woman then walked over to Tai embracing her in a warm hug. Tai hugged back enjoying the feeling of her aunt's famous hugs.
"Oh it's so good to see you again little Gem," Katherine said into Tai's hair. Tai only nodded her response hugging tighter onto Katherine's waist. She began to feel that sense of motherly love Katherine always gave off; she felt safe and secure. Tai had always loved Katherine's motherly ways and remembered how she used to hum Tai to sleep at the times she was upset or tired and she would always be there when Tai woke. Tai envied her cousins for having Katherine as their mother.
"You're hugs make me think of mom," Tai said into Kathy's chest.
"Oh baby," Kathy pulled away to look at Tatyana. "She's never far away. All you have to do is think of her. Now give me a smile" Tai smiled best she could.
"Awe," the man mocked. "I'm getting all sappy just looking at that face." Tai glared to the man named 'Skylar'. If this guy was gonna be a jerk the whole week things were gonna get bad. An apple went flying through the air and bounced off of the man's head. They looked to Zak who pointed at him giving him a look that said 'Don't start anything'. Kathy rolled her eyes.
"Don't you mind him dear," She said rubbing Tai's shoulder. "Zak where's your sister?" Kathy looked to her son.
"Oh yeah," Zak turned in his seat. "'Ay Raph!"
"What?!" Another man came running in falling next to Zak knocking down a stool in all the commotion. "Zakary what's wrong?" The man picked Zak up surprising Tai and Sam both. The man himself didn't look all that strong and was shorter than Zak. He set Zak down near the table and turned on the light overhead. "Are you running a temperature? A concussion? Have you broken anything?"
"Raphael!"
"Your voice sounds hoarse," The man began to panic. "Are your vocal cords dyeing? Your vocal cords are dyeing!"
"You say that like it would be a bad thing," Skylar said rubbing his head.
"Raphael!" Zak got the man's attention before he could send himself into shock. "Calm down I only called you 'cause I need your help with waking AJ up."
"Well what do you suggest we do?" The man 'Raphael' asked. Zak pointed to Skylar who winked opening the fridge. He pulled out an air horn making everyone raise an eyebrow.
"Why was an Air Horn in my fridge?" Kathy asked glaring at Sky.
"To keep it cool," Sky paused for laughter that didn't come "Nothing?" Sky's face went blank.
"I don't think that's very wise," Raphael said backing away. "A sudden loud noise like that could give her a heart attack or she may fall out the window if she runs away." Skylar then held the horn up, pointing it at Zak and Raphael pushing down on the horn. Everyone flinched, waiting for the loud noise, but instead of a noise whipped cream leaked out the round horn.
"What the…" Skylar licked the airy white cream confused. "Don't tell me." Skylar reached into the fridge pulling out the whip cream. He pushed the nozzle and a loud honk came from the can. He looked to everyone who looked just as confused as he did. "Don't ask me because I really have no idea how I did this." Zak laughed and walked to the steps grabbing a couch pillow on his way.
"Just come on." He and Skylar ran up the steps laughing. Raphael smiled and looked to Sam and Tai.
"We have guests?" He asked.
"My Niece and Nephew visiting with my sister and her husband," Kathy explained. "You remember Sam and Tatyana don't you?"
"Now I recall," Raphael smiled to the teens "You two where just infants at the time. How you've grown. Well I'm Raphael." Sam and Tai looked to him. He was a little taller than Chase and had freckles on his face. His hair was short, red and curled. His eyes were blue and hidden behind small glasses. He wore a simple button up white shirt with black pants. Tai spoke
"Nice to meet…" she was cut off by the loud sound of the whipped cream can/Air horn going off and Zak's voice.
"Got her ass up!"
"Zakary Cornelius Cooper, watch your language!" Kathy yelled as she saw the two boys rush pass by the stair balcony her daughter on their tails. A cluster of rushed footsteps came down the stairs as Zak and Sky laughed menacingly. They both jumped over the couch running to the closed patio door. Skylar smacked into the door causing it to shake.
"Ho-holy crap!" Zak exclaimed opening the door quickly as an angry Justice came down the steps. Zak ran out the door as Sklyar crawled behind him. Following them to the door, Justice stopping in the door way watching the laughing duo run.
"Both y'all just wait!" she yelled over their laughter. "Imma show ya bettah than I can tell ya! Imma mess both y'all sorry…" Justice turned and stopped when she got a good look at who sat at the counter. There where both of her cousins in the flesh, Sam smiling to her, and Tai looking surprised at her and here she was in nothing but a sports bra and too short happy bunny shorts.
Tai looked to her cousin as she stood shocked. There she was standing so much smaller than her looking as if she just seen Megatron in a thong. There was Justice standing there. Her hair sat in a messy, not in a good way, bun atop her head. Tai noticed she had a tattoo of a cursive C just under her shoulder blade and she wore a sliver chain the held a weird charm that was silver.
"Holy craaaaaaaaaaap!" Justice yelled running back up the steps covering her chest.
"Wait!" Tai called back to her but she slumped down over the stool as she heard a door slam shut. A defeated look settled on Tai's face. Sam smiled patting Tai's back.
"Let her sulk for a bit she'll come back down." Kathy said as she cooked more food. Tai looked up feeling a wet nose touch her face she expected to see Psyche. It was Justice's dog Clyde. He nudged at her face giving her the cutest puppy eyes. Tai smiled bringing her hand up to pet the dog's head. Skylar and Zak came back in looking around for the morning terror.
"She went upstairs?" Zak asked as they looked around. Justice's small size made her great at hiding so they took precautions whenever making her mad. Katherine shook her head; sometimes her children were just too much.
"Yes she's back in her room."
"Sweet," Zak took his seat next to Sam.
"You know she's going to get payback." Sam smiled taking a bit of and apple.
"Yeah but that hasn't happened yet." Skylar set the can on the counter. "Besides…"
"yeah?"
"…My brain stopped," Skylar looked down bashfully.
"Wouldn't be the first time," Zak laughed. Skylar glared to his 'brother'.
"You really wanna go down that road." Skylar looked down when Clyde's growl hit his ears. The dog turned his head slightly to glare at the man. "You too hugh? Well bring it on Wylie!" Tai jumped back as Clyde jumped up to grab hold of Skylar's shirt as the man punched the dog in the side growling just as loud.
"Hey, hey!" Katherine yelled. "Take it outside I don't want blood on my floor." Obeying Kathy's wishes Clyde bit into Skylar's ankle and pulled him to the dog door that was just big enough to fit Skylar.
"Let me go you mutt!" Skylar's demand fell on deaf ears. "Ouch! That hurts! Farewell world up yours!" All that was heard was the ripping of clothes and Skylar's girlish Screams.
"Once again Skylar proved his point on being a Jackass." Zak laughed. Raphael shook his head.
Later everyone sat in the kitchen eating. Skylar was lounging on Clyde's side watching TV a few scratches and on his arms and legs and shirt ripped. Raphael read a book as he sat on the sofa patting Psyches head as she rest her head on his lap; he had taken a liking to Psyche as she did him. The Great Dane was a nice relaxing change from the puppy that is Clyde. Tai, Sam, Mikaela, and Zak sat around the coffee table eating their food and talking not suspecting a thing as a head filled with long curly black hair looked down at the trio from the balcony above. Justice lay on the carpeted floor a pith helmet on as she held a bb gun through the railings. Tongue peeking from the corner of her mouth she aimed the small laser to the back off Sam's head and took fire.
"AAAHHH!" Sam exclaimed causing everyone looked to him confused and alarmed. He held the back of his head then pulled his hand back to check for anything. What just happened? Justice just happened. And she was about to happen again. Taking aim again she fired this time to Zak's forehead.
"OOWWW!" Zak shirked. He fell to the floor in pain as a small bead bounced off his head. Justice pulled back her back against the wall, her form shaking from her silenced laughter. Downstairs, Sam and Zak nodded to each other.
"Hand me the stache," Sam held out his hand to Zak. Justice lay on the floor covering her mouth to keep her laughs from slipping out. Slipping her gun into her back pocket she crawled on her belly to the stair case to come face to face with the dreaded rouge cop Sam and his sidekick agent Zero. Basically, Sam in a ridiculous fake mustache and her father's old cop shades and Zak in men in black shades, a clip on bow, and fake ear piece. She struggled to keep from laughing as Sam raised a gun of his own to her forehead.
"Hands where I can see 'em," Sam ordered. Laughing Justice held up her hands as she was pulled to her feet. Sam held her wrist together as he pushed her down the steps the gun held to her back. Everyone smiled as they saw Sam, Zak and Justice enter the room.
"Hold fire," Zak said into the ear piece. "Subject is detained currently bringing her in for questioning. Hold off for 2 hours after for milk and cookies."
"Up against the wall," Sam said. "Spread 'em." Everyone laughed as Sam frisked his cousin. He pulled the gun from her pocket slipping it in his own accidentally hitting the trigger. "Ow! Hell!" Sam hopped around holding onto his now in pain behind.
"Smooth," Justice laughed looking to Sam. Sam began to panic he knew that look. Justice leaped in the air and caught Sam in tight glomp of death her arms around his neck squeezing tightly. Her legs up behind her as Sam stumbled back slightly to prevent his self from falling onto the floor but it was no use. Sam fell back landing on his butt groaning from the pain as the girl continued to crush him and laugh joyfully. For a brief second she pulled away with to look at him with a happy teary smile.
"Sam ahm so glad ta see you!" she cried out happily right before going back to crushing him again this time even more painfully.
"Whoa hold up there Jay!" Zak yelled holding up his hands. Worry and fear crossed his face as he watched his cousin innocently get crushed by the over joyed girl. He along with Skylar tried to pry her from Sam.
"AJ you're gonna crush poor Sam!" Skylar exclaimed. It seemed that the girl ignored them because she only kept crushing Sam while in hysterics.
"Justice, stop it!" Zak yelled. "His eyes rolled back 'n that ain't good ya gonna kill 'im!" Hearing this made Justice release Sam in an instant like a dog that was latched on to its prey. Sam's whimpers came to an end as her grip eased. Justice's eyes widened as Sam's head hung limp and what she thought was his last breath left him.
"No Sam, don't die!" Justice cried as she held onto him tightly again. "Ah just got you back ah don wanna lose you again!"
"Justice, stop!" Kathy and Zak yell in unison. "You're doing it again!" Justice snapped back to reality soon enough and finally released Sam. Tai was trying to seem worried as Mikaela kneeled to Sam's side, but it was too difficult after watching that display of emotion. Tai held her hand over her mouth to keep from going all out with her bottled up laughter. Sam finally caught his breath and stood rubbing his sore, redden neck.
"It's nice to see you again too Justice," Sam said his voice strained. Justice smiled nervously. That probably was a bit too much of showing her excitement and feelings.
"Sam ahm sorry ya know dat's one of my flaws." Justice spoke rubbing the back of her head. Really hearing her voice normally and in person Tai noticed it had a bit of an accent to it; Kind of a French and Spanish accent mixed. Surprise struck Justice as she was hoisted I the air. Her arms were pinned to her side as Sam hugged her not as hard as she hugged him but still fairly hard. They both giggled together as Sam set her down.
"C'mon dat was weak sauce," Justice taunted her cousin. "Want me ta show ya a real hug again?" An evil smile crept to her face.
"No, no, no, no need," Sam said frantically. Justice and Tai laughed. What a baby. At that instant a smile came to her face again seeing the girl with the crazy hair.
"Tatyana?" she asked. Tai nodded her response.
"I take it your Justice right?" Tai asked.
"Mhm," Justice nodded. "I can't believe I finally get to meet my big cousin." With that Justice lunged, hugged Tatyana in a surprise attack making her fall back. Everyone around smiled to the cute sight. Tai laughed lightly and returned Justices' hug as they rolled around. They pulled away smiling as Tai looked to her cousin. She looked even prettier in person. Her facial features were very pretty and were complemented by what looked to be small light scars that resemble scratches along her right cheek that made her look pretty and tough at the same time. She had piercings on her left nostril, and lining her ears. On each ear three on her earlobe and one at the top. Her eyes were the same light blue as the sky and skin an olive color. Justice looked back to Sam noticing Mikaela.
"Oh is this Mikaela?" Justice asked. Mikaela smiled and waved.
"Yeah I'm Mikaela," Mikaela spoke. Justice winked to Sam in congratulations as she giggled from the cuteness.
"I din know ya had it in ya." Justice smiled.
"I know right?" Skylar said with slight humor in his voice. "It's gotta be the Witwicky charm." Justice and Tai smiled.
"Mikaela you arah some pretty." Justice spoke.
"Thank you," Mikaela blushed. Justice smiled then held her stomach as it groaned loudly.
"Thank you for showing us what a whale song sounds like," She said looking down to her stomach. "Meal time!" The small teen then popped up and ran to the kitchen.
"I'm really going to like her." Tai smirked folding her arms over her chest.
After her food massacre Justice lay on the floor on the verge of sleeping and remaining awake as Zak and Tai looked down to her. Sighing deeply Justice attempted to lick the stray jelly from her chin.
"Damn you jelly," she said lazily. "Come to me. Get in mah belly." Zak giggled as he whipped the jam from his sister's chin. Tai smiled and took Justices hands and pulled her up.
"Never seen anyone eat that much," Tai smiled "Especially someone your size. It's still so unreal to see someone my age smaller than me." Justice smiled up to her cousin.
"The best things come in the smallest packages." She said flexing her small nearly non excitant arm muscles.
"I can't argue with that logic," Tai said. "I prove it every day." Tai mimicked her cousins' motions making Justice smile. Zak shook his head and sat next to his sister. Tai looked to them and noticed they both looked a lot alike. They both had the same nose, and lips but their eyes, ears, and foreheads looked different. Zak noticed.
"Tai you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah it's just you two look so much alike," She said looking closer. Mikaela did the same and saw Tai was right.
"Of course we do," Zak said.
"We are brother and sister." Justice said.
"You guys were able to stay together?" Tai asked.
"Yeah," Justice replied. "We were just adopted at different times."
"Cool I thought you both came from different families."
"Nope," Zak smiled wrapping an arm around his sister "Blood to the end."
"Do you guys remember your family?" Tai asked. Justice and Zak both looked to each other. Tai mentally slapped herself. Once again she let her curiosity get the best of her. No doubt their family was a sensitive subject that they didn't want to talk about.
"Well she does," Zak grumbled folding his arms. "I don't really remember them at all." Tai winced at the hurt look on Zak's face.
"You see," Justice began. "When ah was like two he was born and it was around a bad time too. Our Momma, Daddy, the rest of our family had went missing; how? We have no clue but this guy," Justice pointed to Skylar "He was our Momma's friend. She wanted him to make sure we were taken care of so he put us in the adoption agency." Tai and Mikaela were amazed. How could someone's entire family go missing and when they were so young too? "Skylar was able to travel with us just to keep a close eye on us."
"You guys didn't have any family left at all?" Tai asked. "No cousin's or Grandparent's?" Justice and Zak shook their heads.
"Our Daddy had lost his family when he was young too so he was really on his own fo a long time. Our Momma only had hah Momma and Daddy but they had died when ah was born."
"And Besides," Zak spoke up "not a whole lot of people in Columbia weren't able to take us in." Tai and Mikaela's eye's widened at that.
"You guys are from Columbia?" Tai asked.
"Well Rio," Zak explained. "We had just moved to Colombia when we were up for adoption. After spending a few months there we were moved to Australia, hence the accent. A few years later we got adopted then we met our new family and now we're here."
"How was it traveling to different corners of the world?"
"It was really cool actually if you could remember it," Justice smirked and nudged her brother. "Being in Australia was really cool; a lot of different people, and cultures. We were able to learn a ass load pf different languages."
"Like what?" Mikaela asked.
"Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Indian and French." Zak smiled. " We actually got a photo album of all of it." Zak jumped up and ran up the steps "I'll be right back!"
Zak ran into his room and began to dig under his bead for his old baby photo album. All of his and Justice's pictures from Rio and Australia where in there as well as some of their parents old pictures too. Zak hoped that he and Justice would still be able to improvise and that Sky wouldn't screw anything up, but they had years to master their 'sibling telepathy' so they should be good. He continued to feel around until he finally gave up. How far under the bed was it? Groaning Zak then proceeded to crawl under his bed until he looked and saw…
"Whoa!" he exclaimed jumping back. Two green floating lights were under his bed! Zak looked around his bed in time to see a blue blur rush from under his bed to his closet. He then grabbed his steel bat and slowly stalked to the closet. What was this thing; some kind of giant blue rat or something? It had to be Sam's come back jokes but this was too elaborate to actually be one. Zak reached for the closet door handle pulling it open quickly holding up the Bat. Zak looked to see the same lights hiding between his clothes. A closer look her actually saw them trembling and…Crying?
"Oh no, Oh no," Zak dropped the bat and stooped down causing the lights to back away. "Hey it's ok I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sacred you. You really scared me." Slowly he extended his left hand towards the startled little thing. Zak's eyes went softer when he saw a little robotic baby's hand reaching for him. Ever so gently the small hand took hold of two of his fingers. "Come on out." Zak watched astonished as a little robot stepped from behind his clothes whipping its eyes of the scared tears in them
"Wow."
Uhoh do you smell trouble in the air? I do! Don't worry Zak would never hurt lil Sparrow cause I would have his ass if he did.
Zak: He if you saw something under your bed you'd freak out too!
No I wouldn't I would ask it if it wanted milk and cookies and to have an Ice Age marathon with me. Hehe ok there's Chapter four! Hope you like it! R&R beautifuls and thank you!
