Ten days on his back was not how Blaze wanted to spend any down time, and yet here he was on his back. The only thing that made it worth it was simply put Rex. The raven haired teen had constantly checked in on him. Brought him things made it easier on him to be off his feet. For some reason though something felt like it was coming. It was small things at first little twinges here and there of memories. He was just back on his feet walking along the hall way when from around a corner stepped a young man Caesar's age purple eyes staring at Blaze as the pale fingers tapped against one black clad arm."..Where have you been brother? We've missed you.."

Blaze froze in place his eyes widening before the other figure walked closer their arms folded. Blaze stared his orange eyes widening before he whispered."Aquarius.."

The young man known as Aquarius smiled slightly before one hand rose fingers brushing orange locks of hair"You didn't come home the others worried so I came to find you.. Imagine my surprise to find you here. What are you doing here little brother.."

Blaze stared before shaking his head slapping his brother's hand away."Back off Aquarius! I've got a job a new life.. I don't have to do that any more!"

"Idiot! You don't just walk away from us like we're trash!" One hand clenched in Blaze's shirt before the orange haired teen found himself Dangling four feet in the air to be slammed against the wall. "After all we did for you!" Purple eyes glared before Aquarius spoke once more."How could you abandon us?"

Blaze hung for a few moments before slipping out of his shirt dropping to foot sweep the older teen knocking him away."Easy he's a psycho and I didn't want to live wondering when it was going to be my turn to be food.."

"He's our father he wouldn't do that!" Aquarius argued hitting the ground on his backside. Blaze glared standing to his full height clenching one fist."You haven't seen what I have..You didn't see the horror on their faces..The terror that they felt as he sucked the nanites out of them! And he's not out father!"

"He's close enough! He took us in when no one else would!"

"No! He used us and abused us! Used us for his own twisted schemes until I ran away!" Blaze clenched his other fist his eyes bright red.

"Brother please understand he just wants what's best for this world.." Aquarius reached out only to have the temp rise as Blaze's Nanites reacted flames licking around the younger Evo."No! He wanted power..I refused to help him get it! He threw me in a damn Lake Aquarius! A god damn lake I could have died!"

"Easy brother look what your doing calm down..Stop it you know we can't harm one another.." Aquarius reached out the tips of his fingers making contact before Blaze pushed him away."No god damn you! Your not dragging me back into that! He's a nut case I refuse to work for him!"

His flames flickered dying out. Just the thought of working for that man made him sick. Made him afraid the hours suffered when he didn't do as he was told. The time spent in the cold room or the particularly harsh punishment for the young Flame Evo of being locked in a tank half full of water. Cold water.. Aquarius glared his hand coming up thin sparkling ribbons of water forming around himself."Fine if you won't listen to reason I guess I'll just have to beat it into you!" With that he threw his hands forwards sending the ribbons of water at Blaze who nimbly dodged around them remembering his spars with Six.

"Yea have fun with that..I'm not gonna take your ass on head on anymore I know better." Blaze smirked going side to side weaving around the Ribbons of water before ducking under one to slam his open palm into his brother's chest knocking the wind out of the water Evo, but not before the water Evo sliced a thin cut across his lower cheek. Red eyes narrowed before he spoke"I'm only gonna say it once..NO N. O. No! And as we both know no means no not ask me again in a few days..Now get lost.."

"No! Your coming back with me one way or another..You need to answer to him.." Aquarius glared before bringing his hand up if his ribbons wouldn't work he'd go for the whole packaged deal. Purple eyes glowed as he started to form a large ball of water in his hands."You always were the stupid stubborn one Blaze..You couldn't follow an order to save your own hide much less anyone else's.."

Blaze smirked before drawing out his blade"And you've got your head so far up his ass I don't know where one ends and the other begins.."

Aquarius let out a shriek of anger throwing the orb, but Blaze was not to be fooled. He'd rebound off the wall before hearing a yelp and saw Aquarius smirk before the elder closed his hands trapping what ever was in his orb. "And you couldn't think past your precious fighting style to save your own ass.."

Blaze turned seeing Rex in that orb pounding on the sides of it. "Let him go! He's got nothing to do with this!"

Aquarius smirked before tipping his head"Oh I think he does so does father. Father's got an.. Interest in this boy..I want to know why.."

Blaze's eyes glowed bright red his hair ruffling as he spoke"Let him go right now.." It was a calm cold voice even Aquarius had not heard before. Purple eyes widened as the blue haired male spoke."Why? I don't listen to you just as you have never listened to me.. There's two sides to every story brother.."

The two could have kept fighting if it hadn't have been for Caesar coming along with his Electromagnet Throwing Aquarius unconscious Caesar quickly grabbed Rex trying to get the water out of his lungs.

Blaze walked over to his brother before glaring grabbing the other up by the front of his shirt"You ass hole...Every time I get something good you or your precious father have to ride on in to ruin it! Who died and made you a god huh?! Why don't I ever get something good in my life!" One fist drew back before smacking into Aquarius's face with a sickening crack."I'll kill you...I'll fucking kill you.." Orange eyes glowed as Blaze drew back his fist slamming it into the water Evo's face four times before his fist was Caught.

"B..Quit you can't pick your family..But you can pick your adopted one.." Caesar had a firm hold on Blaze's wrist making the orange haired teenager turn his eyes large. The glow slowly left them as Aquarius's shirt slipped from nerveless hands to drop the blue haired male to the ground. Rex was sitting coughing before Blaze turned kneeling down next to him one hand resting on the raven haired teen's shoulder."Are you alright..." Rex nodded before pointing"Yea but I don't think he is." Blaze glared before speaking"He's an asshole..." A small sigh would come before Blaze's head lowered"He's also my brother...Biologically speaking..."

Rex blinked before whipping his head to look at Blaze"Eh?! He is?!...I take it you two don't get along.."

"...He's obsessed with pleasing His father.." Blaze refused to look at Rex before the Raven haired teen gripped his chin pulling Blaze to look at him. "..So you said his father...Not our father.."

Blaze closed his eyes before wrapping his arms around the wet Generator's shoulders. Steam started to rise from Rex's clothes before they dried growing warm once more. Blaze drew back speaking quietly."After the event happened he found us..Me and my brother, you were gone I didn't even know where to start.. He took us in and at first even I was happy to work for him. Then I messed up I cost us important things.. Imagine my surprise when I found out that what we were stealing for him was other Evo's. I left and he wanted his little fire user back.. He hunted me down when he caught me he almost killed me."

"...How? I mean your so tough..." Rex blinked staring at Blaze who shifted leaning against the Raven haired teen speaking once more. "His favorite punishment for me was the tank.. He'd lock me in it with ice water up to my waist..It'd weaken me and leave me sick for hours maybe even days afterwards.."

Caesar was silent hearing this his eyes narrowed before picking up the blue haired male speaking"I'm taking him to a containment field.. I'm holding him for a while to let him heal. Then He and I are going to have a little chat.." Caesar stayed long enough to make sure the two were ok before he headed off to his lab carrying Aquarius..

Rex and Blaze went to their respective spots Blaze to go and work out, and Rex to think about what the older teen had told him.

Neither of them had a very good feeling about this much less got sleep. Blaze jumped so much as hearing a single drop of water drip from places. Having the blue haired teen so close in his vicinity made him paranoid of an attack. The facets all had to be off to a point it was obsessive for Blaze. He even walked in on Rex in the bath once leaving both of them red faced and awkward afterwards. Caesar was amused by thing keeping Blaze updated on his brother's condition.

It was not a good day for him Fate was assuredly on the rag in his mind. By the end of the week Blaze was a wreck jittery unable to sleep. Finally one night Caesar went in the room with Blaze and Rex who amusedly enough was finally sleeping normally. Caesar sat in one of the chairs before raising one hand waving it"B come here.." Blaze eyed the older of the two Salazar siblings before slowly going over. When Caesar suddenly reached out tugging the smaller form against his Blaze stiffened before those warm arms wrapped around him. "..I used to do this for my brother when he had a nightmare.." Blaze blinked before turning his head finally relaxing shifting a bit to get comfortable "Is this what older brothers do..When younger brothers are scared..Cause I am Cae I'm terrified.."

"Shh B, It's alright I know your a little bit big for this but I don't mind it..I can't very well do it with Rex.." Caesar snorted before shaking his head. "He's grown up so fast.." Blaze raised one brow before folding his arms around Caesar's chest resting his head on the other's shoulder."...It's warm..."

Caesar would blink a moment before looking down"What is?"

"...Your body is warm..It's..Pleasant.." Blaze said nothing more his eyes closing as he relaxed further. And that was when both of them heard the soft click come from Rex's head. Two heads shifting to look hearing the snicker of laughter coming from the generator's bed. "Blackmail?"

Caesar raised one brow before rolling his eyes"Only Rex would do that..."

The Generator sat up walking over "What is this Family bonding or something? How come I wasn't invited?"

Blaze smirked before letting out a soft chuckle releasing Caesar to slide away"...I'm not the one holding back.." Before either brother could protest it Blaze was out the door walking away quietly.

That was when Caesar realized just how scared this boy was. Why he was so strong, it was also how he knew Blaze would be fine as long as kept away from his brother and his brother's father..
