Cain woke with a groan. He was lying on a soft bed. The white sheets smelled of roses. He moved. A white sleeve appeared from under sheets. The sleeve was armored with gold and rimmed in red a lot like his old coat from the civil war.

"You're awake, good," a familiar voice stated. Abel – no, 02 sat in the room licking a sucker. He dipped into blood before lick it again. "Want some?" 02 asked, offering Cain the sucker.

"No," Cain snapped. "Where's Abel? What'd you with him?" he growled.

"Oh, that's not nice," 02 sighed as he licked the sweetened, sticky blood. "He's not even your brother and you're more worried about him than you are me."

"Shut up!" Cain tried to leap to his feet but tripped, nearly falling from the bed. His arm and other leg were chained to the metal wall. "Where are we?"

"Oh, in an old base," 02 stated. "Isaac had a hell of time cleaning it out and making it crusnik proof, but it works. Isaac, bring in my other self!" 02 called. The next moment Isaac appeared from the ground. Abel was bound in chain, forced to the floor as if he were a servant or a slave.

"Let him go!" Cain shouted.

"I don't think so," 02 smirked. He walked over to where Abel was and drew a talon across his face making a large gash in it.

"Get your filthy hand away from me," Abel growled. His words were slurred as if he had been drugged it sounded more like, 'ge- youfelthyhandway frome.'

02 kicked Abel in the gut, before putting his foot in Abel's face and forcing it into the ground. He turned his attention back to Cain, his boot still on Abel's face. "Join me and I won't harm him any more."

"Don't Cain," Abel growled.

"Leave him alone," Cain pleaded. He wanted to be with his brother forever like they had after dinner. "Please, just leave him be!"

"His future depends on you," 02 stated calmly.

"If you dare join him I'll never forgive you!" Abel said through gritted teeth. His words no longer slurred.

"Hush!" 02 kicked Abel in the face, he snatched a needle from Isaak and stabbed it into the back of Abel's neck. His brother shuddered before going limp.

"No," Cain gasped, struggling against the bindings. "Leave him be. I can't give you 01, not for another week!" he snapped. "Just let him go, I'm begging you. I'll stay, I'll stay."

"Not for another week?" 02 repeated he looked amused. "I could take 01 from you anytime I want, it doesn't matter what you want. You should be grateful that I'm asking you to join me at all, if you weren't my brother I would have killed you by now." To Isaak he said, "take him to a room, make sure to renew the drugs constantly," he motioned to Abel before turning back to Cain. "Now whats so important that you can't give me 01 until a week? If you'll stay like how you said, you wouldn't have anything planned?"

Cain shivered as 02 sat down on the bed. "I-I can't let 01 take control for a week," Cain stammered, leaning away from 02. "Lilith gave me pills to stop 01 from taking control for time," he explained.

"Well then," 02 grinned, laughing darkly, "you'll have to do in 01's place. You can't go anywhere." He gestured to the chains. 02 leaned in closer. Cain could feel his breath on him. The wall pressed against Cain's back. 02's lips brushed against his.

"Get away!" Cain shouted, kicking 02 hard in the gut. "I'm not 01," he snapped.

"No," 02 whispered in Cain's ear, "you're 01's chosen host." He kissed Cain. A shiver raced through Cain.

Seth marched her way back to the room Caterina had given her and Lilith. It was morning and she hadn't seen hide nor hair of Cain or Abel. She understood why Cain might not have wanted to see her, but the fact she hadn't seen Abel was also worrying her.

The brothers hadn't participated in the mass and according to everyone else they hadn't been seen ever since they retreated into the kitchen the day before. Even Caterina had started to worry, she had radioed both Abel and Cain but they didn't answer. Kate was making preparations to track their radios.

"Still no sign of God's Angel?" The question made Seth pause with her hand on the door handle. "It's not like him to miss mass," Havel continued. "He's been in every mass since the day I first meet him."

"It is strange," a man Seth hadn't meet agreed. "I'm going with Kate on the search party."

"And I'll be staying behind," Havel sighed. "It can't be helped. Cain is a good agent, but if the Contra Mondi is after him…" he trailed off.

"Seth?" Lilith tapped on her shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"Abel is after Cain!" Seth blurted.

"What?"

"I mean our Abel not the other one. He must be why Cain's missing right now!" words spilled out of her mouth.

"You mean 02?" Seth nodded. "Isn't he supposed to be in a capsule?" Lilith asked.

"This is Abel we're talking about! Someone probably helped him! He must have taken Cain after he left from last nights dinner!" Seth argued back. Lilith gave her a look. "And he probably took Abel too!" Seth added as an after thought.

"We can't just leave in the middle of peace talks," Lilith pointed out. "Plus we wouldn't know where to look." She paused for several long moments. "Send me with the search party as a show of good faith towards the Vatican," she advised.

Seth nodded, she could feel a frown pulling on her face. "Okay"

"I'll be careful and bring back the two 'men' in our family," Lilith tried to joke but worry made her fail at it. "I'll speak with those two and see if I can go. Seth, be careful."

"What if it's not the Contra Mundi? It could have been the people from the empire," Seth was pulled back to the men's conversation.

"That would make sense. With the way God's Angel was acting when the empress came over," Havel whispered back.

"Great so you agree with me," the other man said, "well then help me search this room." There was a slight pause in which Seth could imagine Havel frowning. "If they did take him and that other priest we might find some clues in here," the man explained hurriedly. By the sound of it he was already going through somethings. To bad most of their belongings where in the ship they came in.

"Okay, so now they think it's us who took them," Lilith shook her head. "Do have any ideas where our Abel might have taken them?" she asked Seth. "If they don't plan on trusting us I'll have to go on foot."

"I would say the UN base in Londinium however it's kind of far, and all the methuselah is under ground," Seth paused for a second. "Maybe in Barcelona it's closer and there's many Methuselah over there. I can't imagine him going to some where with out a food source," she explained. "And I'm coming with you. I don't want you to go by yourself, if we go together then we'll have a higher chance of beating Abel.'

"Seth it's to dangerous, what if you got hurt? You are the empress after all. Or if he killed you?" Lilith asked, worriedly.

"The same goes for you, doesn't it? You're as much royalty as I am," Seth said. Lilith gave her a weird look. "We're all royalty, whether we like it or not! You, me, Cain and Abel!"

"I do so hope you're talking about our Abel and not the other one," Lilith stated before shaking he head. "One of us has to stay here. We're in the middle of peace talks with the Vatican. And Cain will never except being royalty."

"You know what I meant," Seth said hotly. "And we could just ask Caterina, she seems to have a nice head on her shoulders, I'm sure she would understand."

"All right," Lilith agreed. She turned and started off down the hall.

Cain peaked out from under the covers of the bed. 02 was seated on a couch he had Isaak bought in. He was looking over a few documents. His eyes bleeding red, pierced through the darkness.

It seemed 02 was never going to leave the room. Cain pulled the covers back over his head, pretending to be asleep as he picked at the lock with his belt buckle. He wasn't going to let 02 take Abel again. There was no way he was going to let 02 steal his brother from him.

The lock clicked. Taking hold of the blanket, Cain leapt from the bed. He tossed the blanket at 02 before bolting for the door. He burst into the hall. He slammed the door behind him. His bare feet slapped against the grimy metal floor as he raced through the halls. Where was his brother? He had to find Abel.

"Nano-machine crusnik 01 release of restriction eight percent," Cain murmured the words. Before he could finish pain lanced through him as he struck the far wall.

"Now, you said you were going to stay, 01," 02 stated.

"Hah!" a voice shouted from inside a room. "02 should think twice next time he plans on drugging me again," it was Abel. It sounded like he was experiencing pain and happiness at the same time. Cain let out a breath he hadn't even realised he had been holding. Abel was okay!

02 looked pissed. He walked to Cain, "looks like we have some unwanted company. Abel's more trouble then he's worth," he mumbled. Cain needed to listen really hard to pick up the words. 02 gripped Cain's hair in his hand and pulled at it, forcing Cain to look at him. "You better not run-"

A door opened down the hall behind Cain. He moved his head to look at it. No Abel, run! A hand pressed out of the door, it held a gun. -Bang- the gun fired in Cain's direction, a second later a furry of bloodied robes whipped past him and bulled into 02.

"Are you okay Cain?" Abel asked, he held 02 down by his hands. 02 tried lifting his head, but Abel knocked it down by hitting it with his own.

02 chuckled. He rolled one way then another, in almost graceful movement he ended up on top with Abel at the bottom, being the one held down. Abel tried rolling away just as he had done, but 02 was to strong for him. Long black talons cut his wrists, and Abel winced but said nothing.

"You're an idiot," Cain snapped before kicked 02 in the head. 02 grunted, releasing Abel. Taking hold of Abel's hand, Cain dragged him to his feet. The next second 02 had hold of Cain. Cain growled, kicking 02 in the knee with enough force it would've normally broken the knee.

02 grunted before running his tongue down Cain's neck. His fangs brushed against Cain's neck. "No one is taking 01 anywhere," 02 growled. "And if I have to kill you, I will."

"You're not killing him," Cain snapped, struggling against 02's hold.

"What are you? His lover, or something?" Abel teased, 02. "By the way if you kill me you'll also be killing yourself," his voice sounded serious. "Remember Darin? Well Cain told me that he died because I- or you killed him. But in my time he died because of a stray bullet," Abel said. Cain could tell he was lying. "Oh and there was also this pope, I read about him in a book, he died in 2223 because of a disease. I remember reading about him back in my dimension and it turns out he died the same year but he died because of an assassin."

Cain stared at his brother, where had all of that come from? He had lost what his brother was saying half way through but he still got the gist of it. Abel continued talking but everything went in one ear and out the other. Cain looked at 02, he also seemed to be at loss for words.

"So you see, killing me would also be killing yourself," Abel concluded after what seemed like hours. "Well it seems even you can be at loss for words," he said to break the deadly silence. Why was he acting like an goof again? "In any case," his voice became serious once more. "Let go of him!" Abel snatched up his gun as he charged at 02.

Abel shot his gun twice, one hit 02 in the eye while the other hit his shoulder. It was enough to paralyze him for a few seconds. Cain took the chance to get out of his grip, and kicked him away.

"Come on!" Abel took his hand and tugged him away. "That's not going to last very long, he'll heal in a few seconds!"

"It'll be enough," Cain said. He'd managed to take an empty crusnik cylinder from 02 while Abel had been ranting. "By the way, that was a boring speech, but, thanks," he stated, holding up the cylinder. "I can remove twenty percent of 01 now."

"Most of it was just a bunch of BS," Abel said, just as Cain uncapped the needle on the cylinder. "Could you stop waving that thing around? It's making me jumpy," he paused for a second. "Shouldn't you do that later? Like when we get back to the vatican?"

"No time," Cain stated. "01's been whispering more since I tried to active the crusnik. I think it countered the medication." He glanced behind him. "Okay it can wait until we're out of here." He retracted the needle and bolted down the hall, dragging Abel with him. "Can't 02 give up?" A blinding flash of white light appeared behind them, followed by a loud thud. "Okay," Cain said, stopping and looking at the two entangled forms, "that works. Let's go!" he dragged Abel down another hall.

What was that?" Abel asked. He slowed his pace and looked back, but Cain didn't stop and continued pulling him. Cain shot Abel a 'run now ask questions later,' look. Abel sighed and turned. "If that was another one of William's experiments then please remind me to scold him when I get back to my time. I don't want any of this to happen then," he grumbled. Out of the corner of his eye, Cain could see Abel rolling his eyes.

"I'm certain that was one of his experiments and I'm thanking him for it," Cain stated, leading Abel out of the base. "Where are we?" Cain asked, stopping dead in his tracks. "It looks like we're in the desolate area." Cain sniffed the barren wasteland. "We need to head west."

Abel looked to his left. "That's going to be a long walked," he stated. "In any case we should move away from here until you take out twenty percent of 01."

"Agreed," Cain said with a nod before he started west.

02 growled, shoving the person off him. He frowned as his gaze met Cain's, but it wasn't Cain at the same time. This Cain stared up at the ceiling. No scars visible on his body and a wide smile on his features.

"Awwwy," Cain – no, 01 complained. "That hurt more than being thrown from the Ark." He tilted his head back. "02!" he shouted, leaping to his feet and hitting his head on the wall. He fell back and 02 caught him. "Hey, you're not my 02, are you? No, no," Cain shook his head, agreeing with himself. "My 02 isn't one hundred percent, you are." He nodded, grinning.

02 ran his fingers through 01's hair. "We could capture the ones from our reality together," 02 suggested.

"Sounds good, sounds good." 01 nodded.

Please review, it would really help flame and I when we are writing on our next chapter!
