Ironwood November 20th 2001

I got up as the crying happened again.

"Iz muh urn?"

June kind of staggered.

"Go back to..."

She collapsed and I shrugged, I went to their cribs and performed another diaper change. I stood vigilant over the infants after I finished, unsure of what to say. I put them back into their cribs and washed my hands.

"WAAAH."

Really, I was gone... I use my senses they're not hungry. I burped them and held them in my arms and craddled them until they went back to sleep. I walked away to go back to bed.

"WAAAAH!"

I clearly wasn't going to get any sleep, I used my powers and refreshed myself. I sat in their room and waited the entire night. As morning came in, I fed them and looked at the clock, I made some coffee and June stumbled in, she looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

"I can't sleep right without you."

I put some coffee in front of her, she yawned some more and drank the coffee.

"I have to get to work."

She nodded.

"I'm on maternity leave, I will take care of it."

"I will create a servitor to help you out get more sleep."

She stared at me.

"On the one hand those scare the hell out of the troopers, on the other? Thanks."

She kissed me and flopped down on the couch, I created something soft and plant like and expanded my senses, I then went and did my job for the day, this was my life now, everything revolved around two crying, eternally hungry, babies, and yet somehow I was content with this.

December 4th, 2001

I woke up with a horrible feeling screaming in my brain, I concentrated my senses tried to make sense of it. shit, shit, shit. I got out of bed and went to the phone, and called it in. The woman on the other end yawned.

"Roy, if this is another fucking-"

"This is Ironwood, we have a problem."

There was silence.

"What kind of."

"The Endbringer labled Cronus has escaped, in three days he will attack Lagos, Nigeria."

"Oh...I'm going to patch this up to the top right away Mr. Ironwood."

She hung up and I went back to bed.

"What's going on?"

"Another attack, I'm sorry but..."

She yawned.

"I knew what I was getting into when I married you, please...come back to me."

"I love you."

"I love you too big guy."

The children started crying again.
