Jordan: Working late, as usual.
Henry: And we still do not own anything.
About a block down from the Apple, Tobias turned and led his two companions into a room whose only decorations were two glowing Vita-Chambers. Each with the glass engraved with either "Henry" or "Tobias."
By this point Jasper saw it fit to break the silence. "So what exactly are we doing here?" His tone sounded impatient, even though he was really only worried about the safety of this area. Rapture was starting to get to him.
"Well, I'm assuming Henry has told you about those nasty pheromones. Well I have spent a few years collecting DNA samples of us without those pesky chemicals, and I have placed those samples into the memory banks of these Vita-Chambers, and so if we step into them, it will take about an hour, but they will fade away, leaving our powers intact, and we," He gestured to himself and Henry. "Will be one less problem." He spoke this all so fast that he had to gasp for air after the last word was uttered. "But there is a catch, for this to work, we have to be injured." He quickly slit across both his and Henry's wrist, and gestured for Henry to enter the chamber, as he did the same.
"Now Jasper you have to keep us safe, because we're gonna pass out." He commanded as the door closed, leaving Jasper only to his thoughts as he watched the two brothers collapse in their respective tubes. He could wonder what the two twins were dreaming.
I could feel the familiar golden flames flow through my veins, and cause my skin to glow. But suddenly the grass around me started to wither. I searched frantically around, only to discover my brother standing next to me. His body glowed purple, and the grass around his feet was dying as well. Soon I began to feel this entire world of ours begin to crumble. Piece by piece, I could feel it fade away. Only to be replaced with a new world. For some reason I understood what this meant, our love was fading from romantic to familial, and I knew that we only had a few moments before we were completely devoid of our love, so with one last force of will, I turned to him and placed my lips softly upon his. "Say goodbye Tobias."I whispered. "Because the old days are over, and our new lives have just begun." And with the last words, I could see the very ground beneath our feet reforming into something much more beautiful and promising than it previously had been. Our world had just been reborn, and it felt like nothing else in the world.
Jasper could see Henry's eyes flutter behind the glowing blue glass. But nothing came out of it, he only stirred a small amount before falling back into an unconscious state.
I could hear Jasper's footsteps descending the cobblestone steps as I stared into the dark waters of the Atlantic, the only light emanating from the lighthouse above us. He finally placed himself next to me, his hand resting on mine. "The Rapture nightmare is over." He whispered as we stared out upon the calm dark waters. "It's finally over." I whispered. And with that, we disappeared in a cloud of red mist, never to return to this area again, never to return to the gates of Hell.
This time when Henry stirred, Jasper also noticed Tobias staring to fidget around in his own tube. Within a few moments, the twins were starting to stand and stretch in their separate tubes, and eventually open the doors, rushing out to greet Jasper after his few lonely hours. "So how do I know that this wasn't a complete waste of-" Jasper began, but he was interrupted with Henry's lips crashing upon his own with an unprecedented and unimaginable of bottled up passion that could only be given so forcefully, and so fully to the one that he truly loved like no other on this planet. To the only one whom he would ever carry such a deep and beautiful love with. To his Jasper. His hand slowly moved to caress Jasper's cheek as their lips remained in a perfect, unadulterated, symmetry.
When they finally broke apart, Henry heard Jasper let out a whimper that had the power to melt his toughened heart, but they shared a smile, for they knew that things would just be for them now. And Henry leaned forward to rest his forehead upon Jasper's, "That's how you know." He whispered soothingly.
"Sorry to interrupt the lovebirds," Tobias snorted out, "but we should probably get to the Apple before we have to fight any splicers." The two looked at him and nodded in unison before leaving the safety of their hidden room, and heading back into the harsh, unforgiving brass city-walks known as Rapture.
