Chapter 2 of Teen Trouble – Featuring the Twins One and Two

Bethany, Benjamin and their mother Chance weaved their way through the crowd of Zion and back to their small metal apartment, which in truth looked more like a shoebox. They passed people of all nations, staring at them as they walked past. Many of the Zionites had never seen (or recognized) a program while in the Matrix, seeing one in Zion was un-heard of but these passing strangers had managed it. Bethany glared at the people as they stared at her; Ben chose to ignore them. Chance meanwhile was busy remembering which way to go, she wasn't paying attention to the tall, dark figure following their footsteps.

Vlad watched them with a keen eye, it would have been difficult to keep track of them if he had been human but his Vampiric powers were helping him, his eye-sight and sense of smell helped alot. He kept track of them in the busy crowd of Zionites, he hated their smell, their faces, he missed the beauty of the chateau, the only thing he liked about the humans was their blood, the machines had left it so fresh in their bodies. He licked his lips; he was still warm from the humans he had previously fed from.

Chance reached their door; she knocked twice.

Benjamin looked over to her "Why don't you just open the door?"

"It's locked" Chance replied as One opened the door for them, they walked in, happy to be away from the humans.

Two walked in and hugged Chance; clearly he had missed her a little more than One. Bethany and Benjamin shook their heads.

"Dad?" Bethany asked. Both One and Two looked over, Chance smiled.

"Yes?" the older Twins said simultaneously.

"Why was the door locked?" Ben asked.

Chance, One and Two shared a look. Two spoke up "We don't want anybody getting in here... you know, angry Zionites that might not be... happy that we're here."

"We're scared?" Bethany asked disgusted.

"We're not scared Beth" Chance sighed.

Bethany shook her head, unlocked the door and left the apartment, she was thoroughly pissed off with her parents and their silly fears, she didn't consider the Zionites a threat, they were puny and weak.

One ran out and looked for her in the crowd but she'd already disappeared, he walked back in "She's gone."

"I'll go after her" Benjamin said and ran out of the apartment.

Chance and the Twins sighed. "They can take care of themselves" One said confidently.

Vlad grinned when he watched the young Ghost leave the apartment, he followed her silently, as she disappeared into the crowd so did he.


Benjamin went looking for Bethany on the large main bridges in the center of Zion, he looked up and down but couldn't see any sign of her, he walked towards the port where many of the ships were docked.
Bethany marched through Zion, not looking where she was going, she looked around when she suddenly felt a chill, she was in what looked like a deserted hallway, she sighed and walked into an elevator, she pressed a button to go up but the doors were stopped by a hand, she jumped and looked up as Vlad walked around the corner.

Bethany flattened herself against the back of the elevator, she reached for her guns but there were none, the Zionites had forbid it. She reached for her switchblade but Vlad grabbed her hand and pinned her against the metal wall, he reached back and pressed a button, the doors closed.

Vlad breathed down into Bethany's face, she tried to kick him but her held her still, he grinned down at her "Found you."

Bethany spat in his face "I killed you once I can do it again!" she shouted and struggled, but to no avail.

Vlad laughed, a cold and haunting sound. Bethany stopped struggling and looked up at him helplessly, she couldn't move, he was using all his weight against her.

"No parents to save you this time" he looked into her eyes "Want to know the fun part?" he leaned in closer, Bethany turned her head so he wasn't so close, this just made him grin wider.

"Let me go!" she shouted.

Vlad sighed, obviously bored. In one quick movement he threw her to the ground "You can't phase if you're within ten feet of me, isn't that excellent news?"

Bethany hit the floor of the elevator with a thud, her head hit one of the walls and began to bleed, she felt dizzy.

Vlad picked her up roughly and pinned her to the wall again "You can't phase, you can't get away..." he brushed her dreads off of her neck and looked down at her soft white skin, her heart rate had risen slightly.

"That bullshit." Beth replied, she tried phasing but nothing happened.

"If it's 'bullshit', young one, prove me wrong." with his free hand Vlad grabbed her hair and held her head back.

Bethany cringed "Don't" she said desperately.

"I didn't come all this way to stop now." Vlad grinned and bit into her neck, his mouth filling with the metallic tasting blood, the smell filled his senses, the blood of programs was so much richer than that of humans his eyelids fluttered.

Bethany managed to get an arm free and with all her strength she pushed Vlad off of her, he hit the wall behind him but didn't fall, he watched the girl.

Beth's vision was glazed, she slid down the wall and sat on the floor, the wound on her neck bleeding profusely, she looked up at Vlad as he walked back over to her, he bent down and looked into her eyes once again.

"If you tell anybody, anybody at all, I'll kill you, and your brother, and your mother and fathers. Preventing you Ghosts from phasing isn't my only new little trick. Trust me, they'll be dead before they even realize I'm there. Remember... don't tell anyone... I'm watching you." Vlad said, he pressed a button to open the doors and stepped back out and into the hallway.

Bethany sat for a few minutes, on the edge of passing out; she was bout to close her eyes when she felt something tugging at the corner of her mind.

Benjamin had collapsed in the middle of the dock, people surrounded him, not sure of what to do, they could see nothing visibly wrong with him. He kept repeating a name... "Bethany... Bethany..."

Bethany opened her eyes a little "Ben?"

"It's me Bethany... phase... we're hurt."

Bethany nodded and phased, her wounds healed, her blood supply was replenished, her clothes were clean and her hair was once again free of blood and dirt, she stood up and looked around. "Ben." she said and ran towards the docks.


Ben sat up and looked around at all the people, a woman walked forwards and gave him a hand up, she was a short black woman, her hair pulled neatly back in a pony tail. "Are you alright kid?" she asked.

Ben took her hand smiled at her "Better now."

"You're not human, are you?" she asked curiously.

Ben shook his head.

"How did you get here?" she asked as people began to lose interest and left, not hearing the conversation.

"Train... ship..." Ben went through a short list "The council knows we're here, we're kinda' like refugees."

"What's your name kid?" the woman asked with a smile.

"Benjamin, but feel free to call me Ben, what's yours?" he asked.

"Niobe." she shook his hand "Nice to meet you, now what just happened there? And where do I recognize you from?"

Ben thought for a moment "My Twin got hurt, I think..."

Niobe did a double take "You're one of those Twins, you're one of the bad guys!" she said, stepping backwards.

Ben put his hands up "I've never seen you before in my life." he said quickly.

Niobe cocked her head to the side "You didn't have black dreads, they were silver, and you phased when you were hurt, at least that's what Morpheus told me."

"I can't phase" Ben thought for a moment "I think you're talking about my dads."

"Dads?" Niobe put her hands on her hips "Those Twins are your dads!"

It was Ben's turn to take a step back "Hey, I wasn't asked whether I wanted to be born into some crazy world of killing people, I much prefer to talk things out." he confessed.

Niobe smiled "Well, you seem like a good kid, certainly nice... But why can't you phase when you're hurt?" she asked.

"My mums an Angel, I got wings. My sister can phase though. It's one of the few differences between-"

Ben was cut off as Bethany phased through the floor beneath him and tackled him to the ground in a hug.

Niobe took a step back, she had yet to get used to the whole idea of programmes in Zion phasing everywhere.

Ben pulled himself free "What the Hell happened to you! You walk into a wall or something!" he demanded.

Bethany had to think fast, she looked up at Niobe and back to Ben "Some random pissy Zionites jumped me, didn't even have time to phase, I almost blacked out... you saved us both." she smiled and hugged her brother again, they both stood up.

"Zionites jumped you?" Ben said disbelievingly.

"Out of the blue." Bethany sighed.

Benjamin shook his head "Maybe mum and dads were right..."

Bethany nodded "We should get back, right now." She said, looking around.

Benjamin nodded back "Good plan, I don't wanna' meet any crazed Zionites..."

They said goodbye to Niobe, who was still a little stunned, and made their way back to their apartment, Vlad hot on their heels.


Once again the Twins were crossing one of the many large bridges in Zion, Beth and Ben both looked up at the exact same time. Some older boys were shoving a young boy, he looked pod born while the older boys looked like they had been born in Zion, they kept shoving him and laughing. Suddenly one of the boys pushed too hard, the younger boy fell back and toppled over the barrier of the bridge.

Bethany and Benjamin watched as the boy began falling, Ben reacted without thinking, his wings spread out of his back and unfolded, her ran over to the edge of the bridge and jumped off as the boy fell past him, he pulled his wings in closer to him as he dived for the boy, the drop was long and would surely kill him if he wasn't caught.

As he was getting closer he reached out for the boy as he tumbled, he managed to grab ahold of his arm, as he did so he pulled up and missed one of the lower level bridges. He flew back up towards the level the boys that had shoved the younger boy were on, he held the younger boy in his arms who was gripping his shirt for dear life.

Bethany had already phased up to them, she held the two struggling boys in her grasp, glaring down at them.

Benjamin landed beside her and set the younger boy down, he grabbed onto Ben's legs, afraid to let go.

The Twins looked down at the older boys angrily.

Benjamin began "Do you know,"

"What you almost did?"

The boys looked up at the Twins in shock, they'd never seen anyone like this before.

"Answer,"

"Us!"

A crowd had gathered around the five of them.

Bethany got impatient "You almost killed this boy!" she said, pointing to the child hugging Ben's legs.

"Why would you pick on him!" Ben demanded.

"He's different!" one of the boys shouted.

The Twins exchanged glances.

"Look around you, everyone here is different, they're from different nations, different times, different worlds, they speak different languages, their skin is different colours, does this mean you have a right to pick on them!" Bethany asked angrily.

The boys looked down.

"Zion is a place where everyone is accepted, everyone who is different, from different nations, from different times, from different worlds, who speak different languages and who have different coloured skin,"

"Zion is a place of diversity, it is a sanctuary for anyone and everyone that needs it, you do not discriminate people because they look different here,"

"You accept people because one day they might be the ones saving your ass when the Sentinels attack this place, this kid might end up saving your life."

"But if you don't accept all the different people then one day when your ass needs saving no-one is going to be there for you. You accept people and treat them as equals because it's right, because you cannot live here if you do not,"

"And if we find that you are NOT accepting people your life will be very,"

"Very,"

"Very short." Bethany finished.

The two boys were shaking; they had tears in their eyes.

"Now say sorry." Benjamin said.

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

Bethany let them go and they ran away quickly.

Beth and Ben crouched down beside the younger boy "Are you okay?" Ben asked.

The young boy looked down at his hand, it was bleeding from where he had tried to grab hold of the rail as he had fallen over the side.

Bethany took his hand and phased, the boy's hand healed, he watched Bethany as she became solid again, he was very curious.

The Twins stood up to go.

The young boy pulled on Ben's trouser leg, the Twin looked down "Yes?"

"Thank you." he said quietly.

"You're,"

"Welcome." the Twins replied, the crowd parted as they walked away.
