Last time…

He gave Cain the glass and the capsule before vanishing in the room next door. The metal plates which had covered the walls were gone, the pipes were closed and the windows were open again. Cain studied the young man behind the terminal, that had to be Pat. He had seen him briefly in Rion's memories but there he had been a teenager only little older than himself now. Older.. Rion had changed, he remembered his twin very well. At the beginning they had been inseparable.

He started sentences, Rion finished them. They hadn't needed telepathy to know what the other had been thinking. It had been a nice time, probably the best they had in the three years before Dorothy had brought the real Rion Steiner into Mushroom tower, before …. everything had gone to hell…

Chapter four Down the memory lane..

She had tried to separate the launch program from the rest of Rion's memories but it was impossible. Years of living with the program had been enough to merge the program and the mind of Rion. Then she decided that one of them would pose as Rion Steiner to find Lilia and bring her to Dorothy. They both had resembled Rion but his eyes were green and there for he didn't qualify to pose as Rion Steiner, his brother was chosen. He had been angry and more than a little jealous, then the real Rion Steiner had died as Dorothy downloaded the memories and information into his brother's mind. He forgot everything and was brought to Memorial Hospital to start the mission to find Lilia Pascalle.

Later Dorothy had discovered that Rion had awoken early and was about to leave the hospital without having received the information needed to find Lilia. He had lied to Rion as he told him that it was planned like it had happened. Planned was that Rion would wake up, received the information concerning Lilia and then went to find her. But it had gone wrong, the memories of Rion had become part of the Galerian, he had become human. Dorothy had no choice, she had to dispatch the other Galerians to contain Rion, but something happened, something Dorothy hadn't expected. Rion had grown stronger than he already had been.

His twin always had a knack for all kinds of skills, like the fact that he could use all kinds of drugs without problems while Birdman for example couldn't use Red or D-Felon. She hadn't known that Dr. Lem had given Rion a ten times higher doses than he and the other Galerians had received from the drugs. By the time she knew it was too late, Birdman, Rainheart and Rita were dead. It wasn't that Dorothy had been concerned about the other Galerians, no it had been the effort to create new Galerians, she was pissed at Rion for that. Then he had gotten the order to kill his twin. In all honesty he hadn't needed much convincing, he had been full of hate and jealousy at that time. He had fought Rion with all he got and had lost. Had died, the most peaceful experience he ever had and then suddenly he had awoken to find himself back in his sarcophagus in the hand of god.

After a bit of work he had been able to leave his prison to find that both ways out of the room were locked. He had scanned the others, had seen his family. Only his twin had been missing. For years it seemed he had wandered around in the small prison. Then one day he had found his beeject and shortly after that the blue haired bitch had attacked and nearly killed him. His twin, his younger brother had saved him. He had a lot of time to think and in the end he came to the conclusion that it wasn't the fact that Rion had been chosen for the mission but more that Rion had forgotten everything, had forgotten him and the others, his family in favor of that damn girl.

Hating him had been easy. He didn't know if he could forgive that even though he knew it wasn't really Rion's fault. It had been Dorothy who created them, who had tormented them with their very existence and who had taken his brother away from him. She had been the one to give the order to load the memories in his twin's brain. He wondered if Rion remembered the past before he had received the memories. It wasn't that long but still. Two years..

A hiss brought Cain out of his reverie, Rion returned with a bundle of clothes in his hands. From what he could see it was something in black and green. Shit the Delmetor.. the capsule wasn't there anymore as was the water in the glass. Had he been in such deep thoughts that he hadn't noticed drinking that? Apparently yes. Rion handed him a green shirt, black boxers and black pants. At least it was not hospital attire. Cain wanted to stand up and walk behind the screen to change and while he managed to stand up this time, his knees buckled after the first step.

Again he would have fallen onto the floor if Rion hadn't caught him. He was being led behind the screen where Rion proceeded to pull the shirt over his head. He was caught off guard but grudgingly let Rion dress him. He cursed the fact that it involved blushing on his part. The older Galerian didn't seem to notice or if he did he ignored it. He didn't appear to be ruffled by nudity. After Cain was finally dressed Rion simple steadied him and waited for the younger Galerian to take his own steps. Clumsy at first but after a few minutes walking wasn't a problem anymore. Being a Galerian had it's perks.

After that they went to Pat's rooms again. Miss Tucker would be waiting there to discuss the deal with Cain. Rion though had fetched Elsa first, he wanted to spent as much time with her as possible. Later when college started he would have less time cause additional to the excuse of going to school/college, they would also job at a club. The club would be operated by the government and someone was hired to manage. All they had to do was entertain the guests and serve the drinks. Cain was a bit miffed as the suppression bracelets were mentioned but in the end he agreed to the deal. After the contracts and legal formalities were finished Miss Tucker dragged the poor boy out of the hospital and into the neatest mall.

Rion had thought that his clothes were scandalous but Cain's topped his by far. And the boy wasn't even an adult. Rion smirked lightly. If hadn't known better he would have thought that the boy belonged to the Prostitutes of the Hiei district. His pants were all tight and leather. The shirts exposed almost the whole stomach. His old outfit had been modest against the current ones. He pitied the boy, if he dared to go out in one of that outfits, he would probably be jumped on sight. There for he had bought a few clothes for Cain who could be worn without the risk of being mistaken for a local prostitute. Clothes which were the right size and not two too small.

Only a few but it was more than enough since Cain would go to high school and there he would have to wear a uniform too. The look on Cain's face as Cornelia had told him that he would have to attend high school had been something that Rion would treasure for the rest of his life. A pity that he didn't have a camera at hand. That would have been great blackmail material.

Then after Cain had signed the contract and Cornelia was finished with her shopping spree, Cain had been brought home. Rion had been in the kitchen setting the table as Cain came through the door. It was a good thing that the cutlery had already been set otherwise he might have dropt them. Cain had looked … scandalous.. he hadn't a better word for the outfit at the moment.

Cain's skin was as pale as his own and a large amount of it was visible. The pants were made of leather, black in color. The sides of his thighs and calves were exposed due to the laces which were worked into the pants. The shirt had also laces and was blue, not to mention the fact that only half of the upper body was covered. Buckles and bracelets were decorating his arms and he wore a collar too, though it resembled more the one he had worn when he had been fourteen. Black shoes had completed the slightly …. no completely naughty outfit.

He hadn't blushed, it wasn't as if Cain looked any different from himself. Instead he had taken the bag with clothes he had chosen and pressed it into the blonde's hands. Since they were twins he had bought the size he had worn back then. He just hoped he had hit the taste of the other Galerian. "Here, in there a few sets of clothes."

"But the hysterical woman and I just bought clothes."

"That are not clothes that is an invitation to get raped. This is not flashy and more casual. I hope they fit. Oh and please change then. I will not have you attend dinner in that stuff. Elsa is eating with us."

Cain peeked into the bag and Rion could hear him sigh softly. Whether it was because he finally got normal clothing or annoyance was unclear.

"Where do I sleep?"

"Your room is upstairs. I'll show you the way. Later I'll give you a tour."

Rion left the room through the right door and stepped into the hall. Cain followed with his purchases floating behind him. They went up the stairs and Rion let Cain into his old bedroom. Most furniture was still covered with blankets from the transport, the air smelled of fresh paint and chemicals. With a click the windows opened. Cain looked around, there were two beds inside the room, two small dressers, two desks with a laptop. Otherwise the room was bare.

"At the moment, there are only the necessities. For more things and design you have to arrange yourself with your room mate later. Spider will be living here in three days. He is about your age. A bit older I believe."

"I'm your older brother remember."

"In creation? Yes you are older, but currently you are stuck in a fourteen year old body which means that for the public you'll be my younger brother."

"What?? Who decided that?"

"Pat, he analyzed our genetic structure. Ours is as you know nearly identical, so it was logical to make us siblings."

"Why couldn't they make us twins?"

"Because Pat only had data of your AI with this age."

"What about you? Your body aged while you were trapped in the backup data." He saw that Rion flinched. Shit he had breached a topic which involved somehow the dead Pascalle girl. In the last ten hours he had seen many occasion when the older Galerian would flinch or look pained. He personally never liked the girl, not that she wasn't nice or so. He never knew her so it didn't matter. No he hated her for tearing his family apart.

"Lilia was the only one who knew how to do that. The knowledge was lost after her death. So you will be my younger brother."

Cain watched his older brother, the shoulders were tense and the hands clenched. But what stung the most was the look on Rion's face. How the girl got the chance to become so deeply involved with him, he didn't know, but fact was that Rion was apparently in love with the dead girl. He just hoped that Rion wasn't depressive.

"Come I'll show you the rest of the house. You can leave your clothes here. Unpack as soon as we are finished." With that Rion showed Cain the whole house, after that the younger Galerian changed his clothing, so that the youngest roommate wouldn't be scared forever.

Dinner was a silent affair, since both of them didn't know what to say. Only Elsa, who was happily munching on her bread with cheese, babbled a bit. Rion barely ate anything and Cain wasn't allowed to eat more than a bit soup. Which pissed the younger one off.

"Why am I not allowed to eat more?"

"For the hundreds time Cain, because your stomach cannot take it, you need to get used to food. Before your resurrection you only got liquid nutrients. You would puke me all over the place, if I let you eat solid food. So now shut up and eat!"

Rion refused to say more on the subject, Cain reluctantly slurped his soup though not without scowling and silent cursing. It was bound to bee a long night.

Three days later… Memorial Hospital…

TBC...

Chapter Analysis:
Bah they made it out alive and Cain got to meet Cornelia, which I pictured quite funny. Maybe I'll include it in a flashback. So now Rion and Cain will be living together... we'll see how that works out.
