True Parentage

When Carlos gets the idea to use science to find out who their other parents are, everything they thought they knew about themselves are shaken up.

I blame Takaraphoenix for all of this because of our conversation about their missing parents.

Chapter 2: The Parents [The Isle]

"Another!" Gaston shouted as he slammed his mug down onto his table and glared half-heartedly at the busted up TV that was playing a Swords and Shield's fight, right now the white-haired son of Cruella De Vil was fighting and winning.

"What's gotten into you? You haven't gotten this wasted since those four were shifted off to Auradon." Hook raised his eyebrow at his sort of friend.

"Just needed to drink," Gaston huffed as he watched as the boy on the screen laughed as he ducked under his opponent and then disarmed him with ease.

"What's got you so interested in the De Vil brat?" Hook wasn't obvious to the way Gaston kept watching the fight.

"Do you remember the last time I got completely wasted when we first got banished here?" Gaston said slowly like he was debating if he should speak anymore.

"Yeah, vaguely? We all were pretty wasted and angry," Hook shook his head to rid himself of the hazy memories.

"Well… There may have been a drunken one night between Cruella and myself that resulted in well…" Gaston trailed off and looked back up at the television.

"Well shit, that's your brat? How the hell did she keep him from you?" Hook's mouth dropped open at the revelation.

"She's insane and Hell Hall is a death trap, even I can't get in and trust me I tried. Then my other sons arrived and I had to deal with them." Gaston ran a hand through his hair, trying not to hiss at the sight of his son and Belle's son hug each other in celebration as their team won.

"Does he know?" Hook asked quietly, he like most of the Isle knew how insane Cruella is.

"No, yes, hell if I know. Who knows what they did to him over in Auradon," Gaston dropped his head down onto the wooden table and Hook took a swig of his ale.

"I won't tell anyone, I'm sure he will be back on the Isle at some point and then maybe you can properly introduce him into the rest of the family." Hook said consolingly before swallowing down the rest of his ale, knowing Gaston would need a companion in his drinking for the night and the pirate would not fall behind in numbers of drinks.

Hades was cradling his ember in his hands, staring at the lightly glowing blue gem in silent awe. Since being banished to the Isle it had stayed dull and lacking, it had glowed only twice. Once for each new addition of the Hades bloodline, but the second one had only lasted a moment before it disappeared and Hades had raged for days on end as he realized that either his kid had died or that part of them had been sealed away.

Now however it had been glowing on and off throughout the week and right now it was steady and Hades couldn't stop the large smile on his lips. He rose to his feet and spun around his lair while laughing almost joyously, his second daughter was alive and had cast off the curse that had kept her Hades side from her and Hades was ecstatic.

"That's my girl!" Hades crooned as he held the slightly glowing stone aloft. He hadn't felt this relieved since he heard Mal's daughter along with Evil Queen's daughter, Jafar and Cruella's boys were the ones shipped off to Auradon which resulted in watching his firstborn shrink her mother down to a lizard on live television.

"One day I will get out," Hades said aloud, promising himself that he would fight and get out and finally, finally reunite with his daughters and show the world what the Hades' bloodline are made of.
