Ana knocked on Reaper's door, needle and thread in hand. He opened the door. "What, Ana?"

"I'm returning them."

"…I have dozens." He stated, sounding more surprised she was returning them than annoyed.

"You told me to return them when I was done."

"…Thanks." He took the supplies, and was about to close the door when he paused. "How's the kid's training going?" He entered his room, and Ana entered as well.

"Jack isn't being that harsh, but Mortica is having issues with the physical labor. Arach is doing fairly well, though. He is very stubborn."

"Hmm." Ana frowned. He seemed either calmer or more nervous than usual.

"What's wrong, Gabriel?"

"…I've been trying to…" He hesitated. "…talk to my kids." Ana frowned.

"…You talk to them, instead of avoiding them like Jack." Reaper looked at her in sheer annoyance.

"Thanks, Ana."

"It's not healthy for you or them." Ana pushed. Reaper growled.

"What am I supposed to do? I don't talk to people: you know that."

"The world knows that after you punched a reporter in the face." Ana reminded.

"I was having a bad day." Gabriel dismissed, entering his craft room and putting the items away as he came out. Ana thought for a few minutes as he sat down on his bed, then got up again.

"…Do you still have your movies?"

"Yeah. So?"

"Why don't you watch a film with them?" Reaper lost it.

"You make it sound like it's the most normal thing in the world! 'Hey, we've never talked at all! Want to watch a movie?!' S***…" He sighed in exasperation. "…It's better than nothing, I guess. One condition to this stupid-a** plan. You come too."

"Oh, it's so terrible to watch a Disney film." Ana laughed. Reaper growled.

"Get the hell out." She complied.

"Sorry, Gabriel."

"Whatever." She waited in the theater room, and was soon joined by Arach and Mortica, though Reaper didn't appear. The twins frowned at seeing Ana.

"Why are we here?" Arach asked bluntly.

"We've going to watch a film." Ana explained. *Of course he didn't say why…*

"…Why?" They asked at the same time, throwing Ana off.

"…Gabriel wanted to spend time with you." Arach scoffed. *He's likely listening in, trying to figure out what to do.*

"Right." Mortica just looked at her hands.

"What's wrong with that, Arach?"

"If he wanted to spend time with us, he would have shown up earlier. You know, before we were kidnapped? Or even better, before we were left at an orphanage?!" Mortica winced, but still said nothing. Ana sighed. *Oh, that boy is angry.*

"…Mortica? Is something bothering you?"

"…" She looked up, and Ana was startled by the hostility in her eyes. *I haven't seen someone that angry since I first saw Reaper…* "Yeah. Both our parents are here, and neither one of them will talk to us to even say hello. They don't even care." Reaper appeared in the doorway. *What took him so long to make his appearance?* He walked in front of the twins, who refused to make eye contact. Ana realized he was furious. *Oh, no.*

"Gabriel-"

""You can say anything about me: I'm a horrible parent, I am; I'm a murderer, I am. But do not say I don't care about you. I left you at that orphanage because you would have died or worse if we kept you. I'm a fugitive and a killer, not a father-figure. Even if I could, I wouldn't go back and change what we did. It was the best option. I had died. Literally died. I couldn't take care of two kids. I still can't. I thought that if you didn't know I was your father, you'd be better off. Even after you found out, I figured it'd be better not to know me after everything I've done. What exactly am I supposed to do? There are no manuals for this. I've done almost every horrible deed you can think of. I'm not parent material: I'm a killer." Both kids looked up at him in surprise, but Reaper looked away, asking numbly as he glazed over the movie titles, "So do you want to watch a movie or not?" The 2 twins hesitated, but Mortica slowly said,

"…What movies do you have?"

"Come and look: there's a few." She complied, scanning over the selection.

"Um…these are all Disney films…"

"Yeah."

"…Overwatch people watch Disney?"

"No. I watch Disney." Arach looked up at that.

"Mr. Doom and Gloom watches Disney?"

"I actually get that one." Reaper stated. Arach stood up, going over to the movies as well. Ana smiled as the 3 looked over them.

"Robin Hood? Sounds interesting." The boy offered gingerly.

"Sure."

"I like that idea." Mortica piped up. "I read the book. It was cool." Reaper looked at them in surprise.

"The book? Haven't you seen it?"

"No. The orphanage didn't have a DVD player. One that worked, anyways." Arach stated. Reaper was silent for a few minutes as Ana processed this information. *That is genuinely surprising…*

"…We're going to watch all of these."

"Today?!" Arach stated in surprise.

"No, one a day, after training. No way am I going to let this atrocity slide." He muttered. Ana smiled as the twins settled into chairs. She stood up, walking to Reaper's side as he set up the video.

"Do you think you can handle it now?" He scoffed at her quiet whisper.

"I don't know what your plan was, but it worked. Now I can at least hold a conversation…somewhat." Ana smiled.

"Things will work out. My daughter thought I was dead, and we're still close."

"…You really shouldn't be able to say that kind of stuff so easily." Mortica imputed. Ana paused. *She has good hearing.*

"What, us being thought dead?" Reaper asked.

"Yeah…I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be taken so lightly…" She stated.

"I'll explain why we're like that after the movie, okay? Oh, you should probably check on Jack. Locarno was going to ditch, and he's probably livid."

"Gabriel, why didn't you say that sooner?!" Ana shouted as she raced off.
