Happy Harbor
November 18, 10:20 EST
Mia decides to take a stroll around Happy Harbor in the crisp autumn weather. "So this is what autumn feels like. I like it." Today she's wearing a red long sleeved shirt with a brown leather jacket over it, a white beanie, a white scarf, black jeans and brown boots. Just as she passed by an alley, a hand comes out of the shadows and pulls her in.
Her mouth was quickly covered and she was pinned up against a building. As Mia struggles, the assailant spoke.
"Mia will you stop and listen to me?"
She finally looks up at her assailant and she instantly felt tears building. The assailant drops his hand so Mia could talk.
"Tulio."
"Hey sis."
The two siblings hugged each other tightly never wanting to let go of the other. When they finished hugging, Mia sighs in content then she does a complete 180 and starts hitting Tulio.
"Where the hell have you been?! I've been worried sick about you two!"
"Ow, Mia stop!" she continues to hit him "Would you just…" he grabs her hands "Mia, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to contact you since that day in the Bayou. I've been on the run. I-I faked my death."
"What? Why would you do that?" Tulio lets go of her hands and looks away from her gaze "Tulio?"
"I-I don't want that life Mia. The killing and-and the blood, it was too much. I'm afraid I have something inside me that actually enjoys killing people. I-I don't know what to do" Tulio starts to cry.
Mia pulls him in and lets him cry on her shoulder "I know exactly how you feel Tulio but you don't have to be in this alone. Let me help you, I know some people who can help."
"Ok."
"If Tulio's here, where's Miguel?" "Tulio I need to know something."
"What?" he looks at her.
"Where's Miguel?"
The Ramires smirk appears "Oh I brought him along. He's unconscious at the moment. Thought you might want to knock some sense into him."
"Gladly" Mia cracks her knuckles.
"Follow me."
The two walked out of the alley acting all normal then headed to a shady motel on the other side of town. No one batted an eye when they saw the two siblings enter a motel room. Mia scans the room noting that it wasn't the best but it has two beds, electricity and running water.
"Couldn't you have stayed in someplace nicer?"
"Oh sure. Let me call the Marriott and get us the presidential suite" Tulio counters.
"Guess sarcasm runs in the family" "So where's Miguel?"
"Tied up in the bathroom."
"Let's go wake him up."
They walked to the bathroom and Tulio opens the door. Mia sees her brother's hands bound behind him and his head resting on the toilet cover.
"Does the thing still work?" Mia whispers.
"Oh yeah. It never fails."
"Perfect. Now get ready."
Tulio nods and got out a camera to record Miguel making a fool out of himself.
Mia took a deep breath and shouts "Dios mio! Alguien tomo la ultima tamal!"*
Miguel shot up yelling "Mine!"
He ends up hitting his head on the medicine cabinet then fell backwards into the bathtub. Mia and Tulio looked at each other and burst out laughing. Miguel finally got his bearings straight and looked over at the bathroom door to see his siblings laughing at him.
He growls "What the hell Tulio?! I thought I told you to-" he finally notices Mia and glares at her "What are you doing here traitor?"
*laughs* "Well first of all I'm getting a good laugh" Mia calms down and got serious "And second, I'm here to knock some sense into you."
"Tch. I don't want nothing to do with you. Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you never."
"Guess it's the hard way then." Mia lets out a soft sigh then grabs Miguel by the scruff of his shirt and tosses him out of the bathroom and onto the floor. Miguel stares in shock while Tulio just shrugs and watches his sister put the fear of God into his twin.
"That's what he gets for being an idiot" Tulio thought as he starts reading a book.
"Tulio, are you just going to stand there and let her do this to me?!"
He looks at Miguel with a straight face "Yes."
"What?!"
"Dude, you deserve this."
"No I don't!"
Tulio snaps his book shut "Do I have to remind you that you were the one who tortured our brave and nurturing sister that took care of us when our parents died."
"But she-"
"That's enough out of you two!"
The Twins stared at her.
She closes her eyes then looks at Miguel with a loving look and a soft smile "It's ok Miguel. I forgive you."
Miguel's eyes went wide "What?"
"I forgive you" she squats down "I know that none of this is your fault. Every single thing that you have done these past three years weren't your doing, you were forced to."
"You don't know what we've been through."
"Oh really? I have the exact same scars in the exact same places on my body as you two goofballs. I know exactly what you two have been through" Mia cups his face "You've been told to suppress your emotions so you can turn into a cold blooded killer but I know you. Miguel you're not a cold blooded killer, you are Miguel Alejandro Fuentes Ramires. Son of Carmen and Luis Ramires, twin brother of Tulio Pedro Fuentes Ramires, older brother of Ana Sophia Celestia Fuentes Ramires, and younger brother of one Amelia Rosa Fuentes Ramires. You are a loving and caring person who helps out anyone in need but right now I want you to help yourself and let the dam open. Just cry."
Miguel was stunned by his sister's words. Slowly but surely everything she said was sinking in. He felt all of his emotions building up in his chest and the only way to let it out is by crying. It started off with a single tear then it became an endless stream down his cheeks. Mia cuts the rope off and pulls him into a hug. Miguel holds onto her for dear life as he cries his heart out.
Mia rubs his back whispering "That's it. Just let it out, let it all out. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."
Miguel cries harder and stayed in her arms. Tulio got misty eyed from the interaction "There's the brother I know." Mia looks back at him and smirks. Knowing that look, Tulio walks over and joins in on the hug fest. Once Miguel had finished crying, Mia helps him up and looked at the Twins.
"Now that's all taken care of, there are a couple of people who can help you."
"How do you know that they can help?" Tulio wonders.
"Because I've been through what you're experiencing now."
"Do you trust them?" Miguel asks.
"With my life" they nodded making her smile "Perfect. Let's go."
"How?" they asked.
"Take my hands."
They eyed her suspiciously but each grabbed a hand and held on tight. "Let's see if I can teleport with two people."
Battery Park
November 18, 18:30 EST
Ted had finished up closing the gym a little early today. "It's getting close to the holidays. Not everyone is going to come." Right as he made it to the front door, he hears the familiar soft thump behind him. "Mia." Ted turns around expecting to see Mia but was surprised to see twin boys with her.
"Now who are they?" "Hey Kid."
"Hi Te-" Mia collapses onto the ground.
"Mia!" all three shouted.
Ted runs over while the Twins held her close.
"What the hell did you do?!"
"How did you get us here?!"
Mia laughs a little "Long story short, I can teleport anywhere in the world and it looks like I can take passengers. How do you two feel?"
"A bit loopy" they answered.
"That's it?" they nodded "Huh. Good to know."
Ted hovers over the Ramires siblings with confusion "Mia, care to explain?"
"Gladly. Ted, the Twins. Twins, Uncle Ted. Now that introductions are over with, Ted I need a favor."
