Last Time

"Who might these supposed protectors even be?"

"They would be you Chad Dickson both you and your younger brother."

Chad shakes his head in denial "I don't. I don't have a brother, I never had!"

"Chad, son there's actually something your mother and I have been meaning to tell you." Mr. Dickson confessed as his wife opened up her bag and pulled out two folded document papers. What would happen next would turn Chad's whole world upside down.

"Wh-..what is this?" Chad couldn't believe what he was looking at yet he knew that they were real he was holding them for God's Sake! The first document Chad was looking at was a birth certificate with a name and information written in big bold letters.

Virginia Department of Health

CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH

FIRST NAME: NATHANAEL (NATHAN) MIDDLE I: ROGERS LAST NAME: DICKSON

BORN: OCTOBER 10, 1993 STATE AND CITY: RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TIME OF BIRTH 11:00 p.m.

MOTHER: SAMANTHA DICKSON FATHER: JACOB DICKSON

Chad looks to the second document not noticing his parents walking up towards him while everyone else moved to give the family space.

CERTIFICATE OF ADOPTION

CHILD FOR ADOPTION

FIRST NAME: NATHANAEL (NATHAN) MIDDLE I: ROGERS LAST NAME: DICKSON

DATE OF ADOPTION : DECEMBER 8, 1993 STATE AND CITY: RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

BIRTH MOTHER: SAMANTHA DICKSON BIRTH FATHER: JACOB DICKSON

ADOPT. MOTHER: LOLA KIN ADOPT. FATHER: ISAO KIN

Chad looks up from the papers and turns to his parents. "You put him up for adoption? Why?" He asks not sure how to feel or what to think. All those around kept silent either out of shock at the information or curiosity for what they have learned. Well almost everyone.

Wallabee beetles aka number 4 of sector V leans to his comrades and whispers. "Pst..guys whats an adoption thing?" Number 1 and 5 roll there eyes while Number 2 facepalms at his friend and comrade's lack of knowledge but goes to tell number 4 anyway. "It means they gave up their own kid to be taken care of and raised by other adults." Number 4 surprised "They can..?"

"Shh!" Number 5 shushes the shortest of her sector and turns her attention back to the fallen former leader of the KND and his parents.

Jacob looks silently at his son the mans face full of sadness and regret a feeling that was shared even more so by his wife who held her face in her hands leaning her back against the wall behind her. "It wasn't something we wanted to do son. We had no choice your mother hadn't been able to work and the TCRI lab that I worked was destroyed that night when your brother was born. The lab had mysteriously caught on fire and when the fire mixed with the chemicals that where housed in the lab it started a chain reaction and blew up, the relief checks that the company sent out couldn't pay for everything! Your mothers job did pay her through her leave on pregnancy but that was barely enough to keep food on the table!" Jacob took a moment to calm himself his emotions and memories of that dark time his family had to go through coming back to him. "We tried our hardest for little over a month to make it work but with the bills we had left to pay at the time along with the difficulty of finding job that could pay well enough to get us through until the lab could be rebuilt were well against us. We had to make a difficult choice, we went to a adoption facility that could find good couple able to afford caring for a child with a great background, a home and did what was best."

For what seemed like hours neither father or son spoke a word, Chad looked once more upon the documents his mind spinning and unsure of what to think or feel. "This whole day has been nuts and its not even lunch. Where do I even go from here? All this? Incoming danger, alien heritage, these secrets and a brother I didn't even know about! What else is there!? Why bring us all-..wait a minute" Chad took pause looking all around him and realized an odd fact. Looking back up to where his supposed ancient ancestor was and still remained looking on silently and patiently before suddenly Hagaromo spoke reminding everyone of his presences.

"You wish to share with me whats on your mind Chad." He remarked taking notice of Chad's questioning gaze. Seeing as he was being called out Chad spoke up, clearing his throat and breathed to calm himself before finally speaking. "You said you came to prepare us all and to train myself and my apparent brother but looking around I can't help but notice that he isn't even here among us and wonder why? If he was you or my parents would have surely pointed him out by now. So where is he? Why is he not here with us now?" For several moments nothing was said though from the expression on everyone's faces, they too seemed to wonder why and who he was and where. Hagaromo's expression remained neutral and calm giving nothing away to his thoughts before sighed and gestured to the device in the room. Within moments the screen came to life and an image began to form.

As the form on screen began to focus it revealed to be of a pubescent boy with blue eyes, spiky blond hair with two short bangs framing a rounder face when compared to chad and tan skin. For clothes the boy on the screen wore black shirt and pants that clung to his body enough to show he had a slightly above muscular compared to most his age, gray combat boots, black arm guards and two ninjato blades strapped to his back. The appraisal of boy's appearance varied among the entire group. To the teens and kids the girls thought he was cute and striking.

"Wow" Rachel muttered a blush present on her face as she looked at the screen like many of the girls her age. She wouldn't admit it out loud but she found this boy to be very appealing and could feel her preteen hormones lighting up like a flame as her cheeks continued to burn.

for the boys they thought him to look cool and tough given his choice of dress and obvious muscle. Chad himself was also surprised and impressed with what he was looking at, clearly this brother of his was no slouch if his physic was anything to go on. Then finally to the adults the boy looked impressive and among the adults the Dickson couple for the first time in many years looked at the screen to gaze upon their youngest son. For them they felt a sense of pride and joy as the took in the image before them but they also had another feeling one that was shared among all the other adults and that was a sense of uneasiness. The boy on the screen from the look of his eyes seemed sharp and intimidating giving a look like a trained child soldier.

All thoughts were broken when they heard Hagaromo speak again. "This is your bother and as he is now he is currently out of my reach for the time being. As to where he is, it will be easier to understand once you've watched the timeline thats paralleled to this one."

"Well while this is all a very interesting opportunity for sure. What about our daily lives back on earth? Some of us do have empires, jobs and operations to run." Father says still feeling unsure yet curious of this unusual situation and many agreed though they didn't voice it. Having expected this Hagaromo answered near instantly. "You need not worry an acquaintance of mine had agreed to stop the flow of time for this part of the galaxy. Albeit he did so begrudgingly, until all is done here. Now then.." With a flash all those present found themselves in a seat and the viewing screen came to life again.

"lets begin shall we." with that the device began to play.

(Narrator voice Morgan Freeman)

(Long ago Since the Beginning of Man many tales of greatness, morals, strife, conflict, pain and war have been passed down, cultivated, and spread. These tales are many, among these stories are tales about two brothers. For the Egyptians it was Anubis and Bata, From the tale of christianity is Kane and Abel, for ancient Greece there was Cleobis and Biton, for ancient Rome Romulus and Remus and many many more.)

Number 4 spoke up "Hey? Whats with the crudy history lesso-Ow!" he cried after being elbowed in the side by number 5 before she then shushed him.

(This story however is about two different brothers and starts here in American state Virginia.)

(October 10th 1993)

(Richmond city Hospital)

In one of the hospital's delivery rooms a baby's cries could be heard.

"Congratulations Mrs. Dickson, it's a boy." The attending Doctor congratulated while the accompanying nurse proceeded to clean and wrap the newborn in a blue blanket.

Mrs. Dickson's eyes widen as she recalled this moment and grabs her husbands hand to which prompted him to pull her into him and rub her back in comfort.

In the delivery room bed lay an exhausted yet happily smiling woman in a hospital gown with blonde hair, dark gray eyes and pale skin. The exhausted mother was Samantha Dickson. The now named Mrs. Dickson reaches out for her newborn son. "Can I see him please?"

"Of course mam." The doctor waves to the assisting nurse to bring over the child. Carefully the nurse puts the baby in his mother's arms. Mrs. Dickson looks into her baby's ocean blue eyes full of love and care. The doctor waits silently for a minute before getting the woman's attention. "Your husband and son are still in the waiting room mam. Would you like for us to send them in now?"

Mrs. Dickson doesn't even look away from her baby to respond. "Yes please." She asks while she rocks her baby slowly in order to lessen the child's cries. Within minutes her husband Jacob Dickson, a man with tan skin, brown hair, dark blue eyes wearing squared glasses in a red buttoned shirt, blue jeans and boots walks in carrying their 2 year and 2 month old son on his shoulders.

"How are you holding up Samantha dear?" Mr. Dickson asks as he takes their eldest child off his shoulders while looking at the newest addition to their little family with the biggest smile he had.

Number 5 watches on silently recalling when she first heard about her older brother was having a kid and how excited her parents were and the trip to the hospital to go and see them. Memories of the drive and how her dad explained to her to an extent about how her new niece and nephew were born. this scene also reminded her of the baby mission her less than insightful team took and the mess it caused. Speaking of said team to her side she could hear some of their hushed chatter.

"Why does she look tired?" number 2 asked.

"Must have something to do with the baby egg. Where they get them is what i'd like to know." Number 1 theorized. (I'm actually curious did some actually think of something like that as a kid? I had couple of younger sibling so I knew very early on about childbirth very early on in life.) Number 5 shook her head at her sector leaders ridiculous theorys and ignorance.

"The baby looks so cute." number 3 cooed.

"Whats so cute about a noisy dumb runt?" number 4 remarked to number 3 not very loudly but not quiet either and one of those nearby that heard said comment was the adult villain Mr. Fizz. Mr. Fizz leaned to his neighboring villain and jokingly said. "Thats the pot calling the kettle black." Both snickered in amusement.

"I'm fine honey, just a little tired is all." Mrs. Dickson looks to her husband and older son and an idea comes to mind. Happily smiling Samantha Dickson gestures to her husband closer while adjusting their new born son so as to give both the father and their now eldest son a better look. "Look Chad, come and meet your new baby brother." Mrs Dickson says as her eldest is brought in closer.

Jacob Dickson happily watches as he puts his first born on the bed next to his wife and leans in close to look upon his family. "Your a big brother now, son." Jacob says happily and excitedly. The young toddler looks at the baby in his mothers arms with curiosity. "Bwaby bwother?" Toddler Chad says in wonder leaning closer to his mother and new born sibling.

"Awww" all the girls cooed at the scene. Chad looked away embarrassed by the looks and mutters of his fellow teens and silently cursed seeing the mischievous glint in the eyes of a few of them, especially from his current girlfriend Stacey who sat one side of him while his friend Chuckie Cavallaro on the other. God none of them where going to let him forget this anytime soon.

Watching this scene play nearby the doctor approaches once more gaining the parents of the new family of four's attention. "Pardon Mr. and Mrs. Dickson, but if I may ask, what is the name you wish for us to fill out on your newborn son's birth certificate?" The doctor inquires holding a clipboard with said document in hand ready to be filled.

Samantha and Jacob looked at their now sleeping baby then up again and looked to the doctor. "We had discussed it before when we found out we were going to have another son and decided to name him Nathan. Nathan Dickson." Samantha Dickson states proudly.

Series of timeskips

1 week

After a few days having the new baby home in their small two bedroom home Jacob and Samantha after putting both kids to bed, stay up in the night to discuss what their next move was to be. Unbeknownst to them that the choices they make and the success they get would change the course of their lives and their children's.

4 months

Young Chad sat still next to his baby brother watching as his parents were packing boxes. Not sure what to make of it turns his attention back to watching his infant sibling waddle about.

More cooing from the female audience erupted as they watched the baby move about and the toddler Chad sitting watching nearby.

Mr. and Mrs. Dickson looked perplexed and intrigued by the difference that was occurring compared with what they where going through at the time.

2 days later

The Dickson family drove following the moving truck to their new home in a small town called Cleveland. Once they arrived at their new home they would also come to meet their neighbors, a couple by the name McKenzie. Who they would later learn where expecting a baby of their own early next year.

"Huh? What!" Rachel and her little brother Harvey exclaimed in shock.

Chad and his parents where surprised at this as well. "Huh, looks like we're neighbors with one of you old friends there sweetie." Mrs. Dickson commented happily at the idea of the different scenario at play.

Chad said nothing instead continued to watch this different reality play out.

3 year timeskip

Much has changed in Chads young life from the birth of his baby brother, the move to Cleveland, meeting the McKenzie originally just a family of 2 turned 3 with the birth of their daughter they named Rachel and now he was going to become part of a super cool kids organization kids next door or KND for short. How this happened is a long story but the gist of it was this.

Flashback 3 days ago

Chad, his brother Nathan and the Mckenzie neighbor girl Rachel Mckenzie had been taken to the park by their respective mothers to spend time outside and make more friends. For a time all was good until Chad heard some commotion and chose to leave Nathan and Rachel behind to investigate and what he came upon was a group of slightly older kids around ages of 8-10 years old battling a giant sized bully with some kind of paddle like weapons made of wood and other random materials.

The fight was almost over but before the kids could finish and subdue the giant it swatted one of the kids into another who had been shouting orders. This left the other remaining kids to lose focus long enough for the bully to recover and start taking the others out in a similar fashion. Now the kids were the ones in trouble as the bully seemed to get ready to body slam them and flatten them like a pancake.

Chad felt compelled to help them escape such a fate and swiftly looked around spotting some discarded metal jacks, a yoyo and one of the paddle weapons close by a plan was formed and chad took action taking a hand full of metal jack and putting them in his pocket he next grabbed the yoyo and weapon holding each in one hand and ran towards the bully.

None said a thing as they continue to watch what was to be unfold.

Bully POV

This was it, the debut of the young knd villain soon to be known as BIG Brother was drawing to a close with a victory. The mission from the super villain adult known as Father was going to end with success. All he had to do was play as distraction while Father had the Ice-cream men pull a raid on the neighboring KND ice cream storage base and that was it and it was nearing completion the actual defeat of the neighboring operatives was just a bonus.

But before the BIG Brother could perform his new signature body slam he felt a sudden tension on his arm the giant kid turned his attention from his would be victims and looked to his side having only long enough to see a small kid flying at him with one of the discarded weapons in hand before the trigger was pulled. Pain and darkness flooded his senses before his consciousness left him.

End POV

Chad stood still letting what he had just achieved sink in before rushing over to the now recovered yet gobsmacked kids.

Flashback end

That was the day Chad learned of the KND and was later recruited. Now here he was about to leave for his first day of training all he had to do was go meet up with the same KND operatives he saved and they would be escorting to and back to their training base.

"So this where you join the brats there Chad?" Chuckie asked to his buddy beside him. "I suppose so the time is the same but happens differently there then it did here. I went to the same school as the leader of the KND and after he watched me come on top in a fight against the school bully.

Only thing delaying him from that was having to sneak away from the McKenzie house. Reason why he's at the McKenzie residence is because both their parents were out to work their mom as an assistant dentist, his father working at some lab because of this they'd asked Mrs. McKenzie to watch over the two boys with pay of course.

"Hmm, so if the lab was never destroyed this would have been our life." Mr. Dickson thought aloud as he watched all that could have been.

Scanning the living room Chad made sure the coast was clear then dashed to the door turning the knob ever so gently.

"CHAD HARRIS DICKSON! IF YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR YOUR GROUNDED DO YOU HEAR ME!" Mrs. Dickson shouted in anger causing all who were around her and chad to jump in freight.

"Mom its another me thats doing it. Calm down." Chad replied fearful of the punishment he might unfairly receive.

"Chad?"

Looking over his shoulder Chad spotted his 4 year old brother in the middle of the room. "Where ya going?" Nathan inquired his head tilted to the side in childlike wonder.

Seeing this on screen all the girls once more cooed at the adorable expression on the younger Dickson sibling. In the room one group of cheerleaders commentary could be heard.

"Little kids are so annoying, but this kid is like totally adorable you just want to hug him."

"I know right? I just want to pinch those chubby cheeks its so cute."

Rachel who just so happened to be sitting nearby couldn't help but frown somewhat as an odd sensation built up in her gut, while her friend Fanny aka Number 86 took notice "Number 362 sir are ya all right?" she asks gently making sure she was quiet enough so no one but Rachel could hear her speak in an uncharacteristic manner. "I'm fine." Rachel said with a huff before taking a deep breath and shook her head in attempt to shake off the odd feelings.

"Nathan, don't tell anyone i'm just going out for a bit i'll be back." Chad stepped out as he opened the door. "Can I come?" Nathan asks, getting closer to the door.

Pausing for a moment Chad pondered what he say. "Next time okay? Just cover for me and i'll bring back some cookies for you on my way back. Just go and play with Rachel."

Chad against his better judgement looked back to his parents and flinched when he saw his mother's scowl.

Nathan's eyes lit up at that before nodding and running back to the McKenzie's backyard. With problem avoided Chad made haste to the start of a great adventure.

As the scene played out the screen suddenly went black. Murmurs of confusion broke out in the crowd and before anyone could look to question Hagaromo a bright flash erupted and when the light died down three people appeared at the spot.

Well thats the end for this chapter. Comments, idea's, questions or suggestions you all may have feel free to leave in a review.

This is my first time doing a reaction to a viewing ever. So any helpful tips on what can be done to improve if needed will be appreciated. If you know any more good examples of a reading or watching fanfiction let me know I only know few to look to for guidance.

PS. I got a new job so updates may be slower for a little while until I get use to it and the new work schedule but i'll continue to do my best to try and update asap. Also first chapter to ASLC has been edited.
