"Look guys, I only cannot have you go and visit him because the cells where prisoners are kept would be too crowded for you to visit as a group. Besides, Bob has to prepare to go on trial." Mephisto used his own power to make them think of something else by reminding them of when class started.
He walked away from the group even after they started to protest a little. Mephisto was thinking things over when he came to the realization that Becky could not be 100% Lexiconian. A long time ago there was an old wives tale that any Lexiconian who tried to leave the planet of Lexicon would die. That is why the pilots that patrol the skies and around the space of Lexicon were monkeys. They could survive.
Wanting to test his theory he decided to take a blood sample from both of his parents and compare it to his own.
If Becky could survive leaving the planet then surely he could too. He didn't have to wait long for the results.
"Master Mephisto the results are in. Queen Beryl is 100% your mother but King Randolph is not your father. Also, before you can ask who is your real father you should see this video of a court hearing about your mother."
The robot then began to play a video on its stomach like a teletubbie.
On the screen was clearly his mother on trial with the King Randolph as the judge. On his left was Gabe on the right was Marie's father before he died.
"We are here today because of your infidelity. Several witnesses have come forward to say that they saw you with the Earth prisoner doing disgusting things. Don't even try to deny it either." Said King Randolph in an angry tone as he addressed the then princess Beryl who was just a commoner that he chose to be his bride because of her beauty.
She glared daggers at him. "Alright. It is true. I did have relations with Earth prisoner. He has a name you know. It's.." Before she could give the name the King cut her off.
"It is no concern of mine what his true name is. What matters to me is that you were seen with him in a manner most undignified of a princess. I chose you out of many possible people to be mine and this is how you repay me?"
He was absolutely furious.
"I don't care that you chose me. You forced me to be your bride. He was kind and gentle. He would never do anything to hurt me." She spoke about him in a loving tone.
"I know." Sneered the King. "Which is why I had him executed just minutes before."
She almost collapsed if it wasn't for the guards standing on either side of her holding her up.
"Take her to the dungeons. We'll decide what to do with you later."
"I thought the whole point of a trial was to decide what to do with me." Said Beryl. She was getting annoyed at this point.
"Fine then. Recess. Then we'll tell you the verdict."
The video ended there.
"Wait..why does it stop there? How does it end?" He asked the robot in a desperate tone.
"Well clearly he didn't execute her if you're alive." The robot said sarcastically.
Mephisto chuckled a bit. He hadn't laughed in a while.
"So then...if this random prisoner is my real father why was I not informed of it until now?" He asked the robot with a bit of resentment.
"It was not relevant until this point in time. Shall I draw you a bubble bath to calm your nerves? " He had built his robots to be water proof a long time ago.
"Please do and schedule a meeting with Becky in an hour. "
"No problem sir. "
One hour later
Once again Mephisto found himself in the conference room with Becky but this time they were alone.
"I bet you are wondering why I have called you in here." Began Mephisto.
"Well, to be perfectly honest yes. I can't begin to guess why you would call me here in the first place." Said Becky while waiting for him to continue with his explanation.
"The truth is, I've known this whole time and I need to tell you before it's too late. I'm not some random person here I am actually your twin brother. I was the one who built the Tobey robot that broke up with you."
Becky visibly flinched upon hearing this. She was upset but she already knew about this prior to him telling her. She tried really hard to be calm about all of this.
"I already knew about you being my twin. As for the robot thing...that I did not know. You built these robots yourself?" She asked him in curiosity.
"Ok this is going to sound creepy but I had been watching you on Earth and I saw how your boyfriend and baby daddy created robots so I studied them first by watching only him make robots then I tried it on my own. You remember Nadine and David? They were my first humanoid robots. The third one was the Tobey bot."
"I honestly can't say I'm not creeped out. But...why do this? Why would you break us up? How long have you known about my pregnancy? " She was more than creeped out by her own twin at this point. Considering that she had grown up with T.J. she considered him to be more her brother than this weirdo.
"Because he would have changed your mind about wanting to stay a d be Queen." He said plainly.
Becky was confused. "But, if you know so much about running the kingdom then why don't you become King? Why do you need me here?"
He sighed before answering.
"Because...I have reviewed the Lexiconian laws of old and in the case of royal twins being born only the oldest can be ruler regardless of gender. I only need you to be queen for a bit, change the rules and let me take over." Said Mephisto like she was just a pawn in his game.
Becky was a bit shocked to learn that he was her younger brother too.
"Well, what if I just stay on the throne and don't change that rule? What if I like ruling?" She challenged him. She was mostly upset with him for attempting to break her and Tobey up.
"You wouldn't do that to your own brother would you? Do you even know about Lexicons main exports?" He asked her in annoyance.
"Well, little brother in the time I am here I will learn all that I can about our beautiful planet." She challenged him once again. "At this point in time who has the most power on this planet?"
Mephisto huffed. "You do, technically. "
Then he had a thought. "How exactly did you get involved with a villain? I mean it wasn't hard to learn that you were Word Girl. How did you and Theodore 'Tobey' Mccallister the third even start dating?"
Becky sighed and told him their story starting from when they were only 10 years old.
"Huh. So while you were busy forming a bond with someone I was here with mom and dad." Said Mephisto, not caring about her feelings at all.
"Mom and dad?" Asked Becky with tears forming in her eyes. "Are they even alive?" She asked him completely forgetting the part where he had admitted to being creepy.
"Yes and no. Before you ask. They are in a coma." He said in a sad tone.
"Well...can I see them? I have no memory of them. Or you for that matter. Sorry."
"I'm not mad that you feel that way. I just wish you could remember at least a little part of me." He said as he reached out to hold her hand.
Sometime later...
Becky woke up feeling fine when Viet and Jackie burst into her room.
"What are you doing asleep?" Said Jackie in an annoyed tone. "You have to get ready!" She shrilled.
"Ready for what?" Becky asked in confusion as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Your wedding to Tobey of course." Said Violet. "Don't worry about the baby they are fine."
They did her hair and makeup and helped her put on her wedding gown. It was big and poofy with a train. Not something she would really choose for herself.
She didn't question why this was happening she just went along with it.
Just as they arrived at the venue, Becky couldn't help but notice they were back on Earth. They arrived to the church via limo.
She walked up to the church where her father was waiting at the entrance for her. Mr. Botsford.
"Dad? What are you doing here?"
"Oh Becky you kidder. I'm here to walk you down the aisle silly. Now let's get going the flower girl has tossed her petals and the rest of the wedding party has already begun walking.
She took his arm and they began to walk down the aisle.
Everyone in town was there for some reason. There was a weird lady selling bagels on a stick there.
Becky looked at her in confusion.
"Who are you?" Becky stopped and asked her as she was close enough.
"I'm here to sell bagels dear. I'm also here to tell you that you should wake up before you see your baby daddy again."
"What do you mean wake up?" It was then that Becky was awoken by Jackie and Violet for real but it wasn't so she could get married. It was because Tobey had just arrived on Lexicon.
Unknown...
She could feel that her daughter had returned. She wanted so badly to wake up and tell her how much she missed her but her coma prevented her from doing so. She wanted to tell her that it wasn't her fault she grew up on another planet. She wanted to express how much she loved her and Mephisto. She wanted to tell him how sorry she was for ever putting him second. She wanted to tell both of them how neither were technically the true heirs to the Lexiconian throne because they weren't the children of the king. She would get to tell them in the next chapter.
To be continued..
Sorry for the wait. I really need to just finish this.
