So this is sorta a filler chapter I guess just to explain where they are and stuffs.

Next chapter will probably be longer so enjoy!

Dick opened his eyes to darkness, there was no light and for the first time since his parents deaths he found himself alone. Headmistress had followed through with her threat the day after the funeral even though neither Dick or Ann had gone against what she had wanted. The woman had dragged Ann off with Dick protesting against the treatment and slapped the poor girl before getting on her phone. She had called someone who sent an unmarked white van to the orphanage where four men approached her. Both twins were still in a state of shock and despair that they barely acknowledged what was going on until the men surrounded them. Forcing them away from each other, Dick snapped out of his stupor and began to fight against the one holding him.

"Dick!" Ann screamed struggling against the man's hold on her.

The fear in his sister's eyes spoke volumes as she screamed to be let go that made him fight even harder against the man. Yet he couldn't find the strength to get free as his tired body sluggishly responded with weak kicks and punches. He vaguely saw the two syringes that the other two men had pulled out of their bags until one was plunged into his neck.

"Thank you so much." he had heard Headmistress say in a sickly sweet voice before everything went black.

And now he had no idea where he was or even where his sister was who he knew was probably scared out of her mind if wherever she was was as dark as his. He felt his own fear creep into his chest as he sat up bringing his knees to his chest wrapping his arms around his knees. Closing his eyes, he rested his head on his arms not knowing what to do when he heard something from the darkness. It was like something was being scrapped against metal when light flooded into the room momentarily blinding him. Screams from somewhere filtered into the room following the light as a shadow stepped in from a doorway and the boy could feel the shadow watching him.

"Hello child." a man's voice came from shadowy figure.

Dick watched the man, "Where am I? Where's Ann?"

"Now now. You are going to have to speak English if you want something."

Dick frowned, swallowing hard against his own fear as well as that of the unknown as another scream followed by a bang ran through the room. Flinching he looked up at the man who glanced out the door with a shake of his head and that was when Dick noticed something. This place wasn't just a room it was a cell because just outside he could see the bars of a typical cell which was in contrast to his own.

Mustering up his courage he spoke slowly, "Where's my sister?"

The man smiled at him with faked happiness, "Now was that so hard young man? The girl you were brought here with is in another cell much like this one. You both proved what Ms. Wynt feared so it was decided that you both be put in solitary confinement."

"No..."

"Well we couldn't have you both in the same cell. Goes against policy and all but since you are both children an exception has been made for when you are moved."

The boy gave the man a half-hearted glare being afraid of what this place was and what was going to happen now. Plus this proved that his promise was nothing more than words though he had no control over any of it at the time. Curling into himself again he heard the man mess with something before the door closed this time leaving Dick in semi-darkness but still alone.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed before the door to his cell opened again allowing three men to enter the small space.

"Come on kid." one said as Dick watched them. "Time to move."

The second man sighed moving toward the boy who backed away, " We'll take you to your sister."

At the word sister, the boy launched himself off of the bed keeping some distance between himself and the man remembering the last time. He didn't trust them for good reason but he had to put some faith in them when it came to wanting to know of his sister.

"Don't try anything." the third man told him. "And stay close this place isn't really meant for kids."

"Yeah but at the rate orphans are going up this place will be filled with 'em more often than the psychos." the first man said with a shrug. "Maybe the kid will get lucky."

"Yeah, he and the girl are cute enough." the second suggested with a grin. "Maybe one of them uptight lawyers will take interest."

The men continued to talk as they led Dick through a maze of corridors lined with bars and plexiglas or just metal doors like the one he had been behind. He ignored the men thinking about his sister and his parents though it upset him that he could do nothing about either situation when he had the chance. Blinking away tears he was stopped outside a normal looking cell as one man messed with some keys to open the door.

"In ya go Kid." the second man told him when the door opened.

With a push Dick stumbled into the cell, the men locking the door once more while he watched waiting for them to leave before he moved. He turned to survey the room once he felt as though he was alone once more light from the corridor lit the space around him when he heard something. It sounded like something between a whimper and a cough coming from the bunk beds to his right but there was no one there. Going over to the beds he inspected both finding nothing when he heard the sound again a memory coming back to him.

-Flashback-

Thunder shook the family's trailer as the storm raged outside blocking out the light of the moon that had shined through the window the night before. Dick woke to the sound of thunder and a flash of lightning though it was the sound that followed the rumble that made him sit up. A strangled noise that seemed somehow to be between a whimper and a cough that was muffled by something. Looking to the side where Ann usually slept in their shared bed he found her spot empty; sitting up fully awake now he heard the sound again.

"Annie?" he asked as the room filled with light for a second again.

He moved looking over the side of the bed to find the sound grow slightly louder as thunder roared around the trailer again. On the floor, he could make out a small figure curled into a ball and sighed to himself knowing what was going on.

"Annie." he whispered getting onto the floor next to her. "It's alright."

He remembered holding his sister when she all but flew into his arms burying her face to try to hide from the the storm. After pulling a blanket from the bed over them, he remembered waking to his parents talking about the two and blushing.

-End Flashback-

Getting onto his hands and knees he looked beneath the bottom bunk and found what he was looking for as terrified blue gray eyes stared back at him. Ann was curled into a ball beneath the bed shaking and all Dick could think of was how everything that had happened to them was his fault.

"D-Dickie?" she asked quietly voice shaking.

"I'm right here, Annie." he answered her as she crawled out to him.

She grabbed his shirt in a death grip and began to sob as he held her a hug trying to hold in his own emotions for her sake.

"I'm so sorry." he whispered closing his eyes while rubbing her back.
