Chapter 13: Powers and Promises
Author's Note: Yeah, yeah, now I have more time to work on my fics! ^-^ I'm so excited! Amidst the Moonlight was a big project that I finally got out of the way!!
Ashley stared at the disc she was holding in her hand. Making sure that it didn't have any sort of viruses or something. She heard the door open she turned to see Leena standing at the door glaring at her. Ashley sighed, closed her eyes, and turned her back to Leena.
"How did you know?" Ashley stayed silent. Leena walked up to her and slammed her fist on the table making it vibrate somewhat. "Tell me!!!" Ashley finally turned to face Leena.
"When I was little I remember a very interesting news broad cast. It was a long time ago so I didn't remember it until I saw your little 'technique.' Then I did a test."
Leena's eye twitched, "A test?" Ashley looked into Leena's purple eyes.
"Yeah, I wanted to see if it was passed on to the 3rd generation…and I was right." Ashley explained.
"3rd generation? That means my mother is the first?" Leena thought outloud. Ashley nodded. "But why was she the first?"
"Well," Ashley brought up a newspaper clipping on the computer, "There was a time when The Black Draft and the Axis of Evil worked together on this project. They wanted to enhance a human's ability. Kinda like an X-men or something. They needed a person…just someone to test it on."
Leena's eyes widened, "My mother!!!"
"Bingo!" Ashley sighed and sulked in her chair more, "But something went wrong. The cells in her body weren't merging correctly and she only had a limited time to live. She died when you were young right?"
Leena eyes saddened and nodded slowly, "Yes she did, I was only 6." Ashley got up and hugged Leena.
"I know this is all hard to take in, but you gotta except the facts…your mother was murdered by the two organizations. But don't worry I'll help you out there, considering that my parents were murdered too by them." Ashley said Leena leaned into Ashley's shoulder.
"Thanks Ashley, you have no idea what this means to me."
"You have realized your powers that your mother gave to you. Since you were born with the cells in your body means that you're ok. And that means Bevin has it too."
"Wait!!" Leena interrupted. Ashley shut her mouth and looked at her, "Leon is my flesh and blood brother! He would have some kind of power! Wouldn't he?" Ashley stood there and thought about it.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that," she said. Leena fell over anime style. Ashley smiled, "Let's go pry it out of him!!" Leena got up and smiled.
"This is going to be fun!!!"
*****
Leon put down his newspaper, and saw two faces mere inches from his face now, not blinking or moving at all. He was starting to get irritated. "Can I help you two?"
"……..You ask him?"
"No!! You ask him!! He's your brother!!!!"
"Weeeelllll, you're his wife!!!"
"Grrrrr….can't beat that one."
"Did I miss something?" Leon asked watching his sister and wife argue with each other. Ashley smiled and hopped into the spot next to him on the couch.
"Weellll, you see……me and Leena were wondering if you feel anything special about yourself?" Ashley asked smiling. Leon snickered.
"You don't know!?!"
"Know what!?!" Both Leena and Ashley said eagerly waiting for Leon to reply.
He brought up his newspaper and started reading it, "I don't have a clue what you're talking about." Both Leena and Ashley fell over anime style. They both got up quickly and scooted a good ten feet away from him.
"He's in denial I can feel it!!"
"That's weird, maybe he doesn't know what we're talking about."
"No!! He's hiding it I can feel it!!!"
"I don't know Ashley it sounds like he really doesn't know."
"How could you say that!!"
"You need to calm down!"
"I'll do whatever it takes to make him tell me!!! Even if I have to take it as far as seduction!!!"
"…….."
"What?"
"That's low….really low to do that to a man who loves you."
"Next time you want something from Bit, you're not getting any advice from me!!"
*****
Bevin sat across from his baby cousin Mark. Bevin was having fun playing with his cousin even though he couldn't talk. It was nice to have someone around, he only wish there could be a better way for his cousin to grow up. Bevin didn't have a father around cause of this fighting. He knows his father tries to spend time with him when he's around. But it's not the same.
Bevin made a small promise to himself, that he would make his cousin's and any other future kids'(that live in the base like he and Mark does) lives better than his own.
((Author's Note: Yeah, yeah Bevin is a bit out of character for a 3 year old. But this is the beginning of him becoming mature.))

"Leon?" Brad called, looking for his friend. He found him in the lounge snoozing on the couch. He walked over him to try to shake him awake. But when his hand came into contact with Leon, his hand shot back from reaction. Brad looked at his hand and saw that it was slightly burned. "What the hell!?!"
Author's Note: Well I hope that is longer than the last one…I'm having trouble making this thing work out all together..But no worries I'm working on that! ^-^
