This story however is about two different brothers and starts here in America state Virginia.
October 10th, 1993
Richmond City Hospital
In one of the hospital's delivery rooms, a baby's cries could be heard.
"Congratulations Mrs. Dickson, it's a boy." The attending Doctor congratulated them while the accompanying nurse proceeded to clean and wrap the newborn in a blue blanket.
In the delivery room bed lay an exhausted yet happily smiling woman, who is currently in a hospital gown. The mother has blonde hair, dark gray eyes, and pale skin. The exhausted mother was Samantha Dickson.
The now-named Mrs. Dickson felt happy, happy as any woman in the world who was given the gift of being a mother. And today, she gets to relive that experience all over again. She then immediately felt distressed when she looked over to the nurse to see her newborn son crying and wailing in that woman's arms. With the remaining strength she had left, Mrs. Dickson reaches her arms out to her son.
"Can I hold him? May I please see my son?"
"Of course ma'am." The doctor waves to the assisting nurse to bring over the child. Carefully, the nurse placed the newborn baby into his mother's welcoming arms.
When Mrs. Dickson brought her baby boy close to her chest, the crying lessens as her baby slowly starts opening his eyes. Mrs. Dickson blinked away the tears that were forming as she looked into her baby's ocean blue eyes. They were so full of love and care.
"Welcome to the world, little one."
The doctor waits silently for a minute before getting the woman's attention. "Your husband and son are still in the waiting room, ma'am. Would you like for us to send them in now?"
Mrs. Dickson did not even look away from her baby to respond. "Yes, please." She replied as she rocks her baby slowly in order to lessen the child's cries.
Within minutes, her husband Jacob Dickson, a man with tan skin, brown hair, and dark blue eyes wearing squared glasses in a red buttoned shirt, blue jeans, and boots walks in. He was carrying their 2 years and 2-month-old son, Chad Dickson, on his shoulders.
"How are you holding up, Samantha dear?" Mr. Dickson asks with concern as he puts down their eldest child from his shoulders while looking at the newest addition to their little family. Just like the first time he became a dad, he was smiling as his heart swell with pride.
"I'm fine honey, just a little tired is all." Mrs. Dickson looks at her husband and older son when an idea came to mind. Smiling happily, Samantha Dickson gestures to her husband to come closer while adjusting their newborn son in her arms to give both the father and their now eldest son a better look. "Look Chad, come and meet your new baby brother."
When the now older brother of the small family hesitated for a moment, Jacob Dickson helped brought their eldest son closer to their baby boy.
Mr. Dickson picked up his firstborn and gently placed him on the bed next to his wife. The now father of two leans in close to look upon his family.
"You're a big brother now, son," Jacob says happily and excitedly.
The young toddler looks at the baby in his mother's arms with curiosity. "Bwaby bwother?" Young Chad says in wonder while leaning closer to his mother and newborn sibling.
Watching this scene play nearby, the doctor approaches, gaining the parents of the new family of four's attention. "Pardon me, Mr. and Mrs. Dickson, but if I may ask, what is the name you wish for us to fill out on your newborn son's birth certificate?" The doctor inquires while holding a clipboard with a said document in his hands, ready to be filled.
Together, Samantha and Jacob looked at their now sleeping baby before looking at each other in the eyes with smiles. They nodded; they come up with the perfect name for their baby boy.
They turned their attention back to the doctor. The mother spoke up, "We had discussed our son's name when we found out we were going to have another son and we decided to name him Nathan. Nathan Dickson," Samantha Dickson states proudly.

1 Week Later
After a few days in the hospital, the now parents of two brought their newborn baby home in their small two-bedroom home. Jacob and Samantha, after putting both kids to bed, stayed up late into the night to discuss what their next moves were going to be in the foreseeable future. Unbeknownst to them, the choices they made and the successes they get would change the course of their lives and their children's.
4 Months Later
Young Chad sat next to his baby brother, keeping a careful eye on him while momentarily looking away to see his parents packing boxes. Unable to comprehend what they were doing, he fully turns his attention back to watching his infant sibling waddling about. The older brother gave a short chuckle whenever young Nathan looked at Chad and smiled.
The two parents would sometimes see this and smiled proudly before resuming packaging everything they own.
2 Days Later
The Dickson family was driving in the family car, following the moving truck to their new home in a small town called Cleveland.
Once they arrived at their new home, they soon meet their new next-door neighbors, the McKenzies, a newly married young couple. The Dickson parents would learn later that day the McKenzies were expecting a baby of their own early next year.
3 Years Later
Much has changed in Chad's young life, from the birth of his baby brother to moving to Cleveland, to meeting the McKenzie, originally just a family of two which soon became three with the birth of their daughter, who they named Rachel, and now he was going to become part of a super cool kids organization known as...
The Kids Next Door, or KND for short.
How this happened is a long story, but the gist of it was this.
Flashback 3 Days Ago
Chad, his brother Nathan, and the Mckenzie girl, Rachel McKenzie, had been taken to the park by their respective mothers to spend time outside and make more friends. Chad was given the responsibility to watch his baby brother and the McKenzie girl as he plays with them while his mom and Mrs. McKenzie talked on a nearby park bench. According to what his mom told him, they were going to have some girl talk. The meaning of such talk escaped the older Dickson.
"Girls can be so weird," Chad thought.
For a time, all was good until Chad heard some commotion and chose to leave Nathan and Rachel behind to investigate, and what he came upon was a group of slightly older kids around the ages of 8-10 years old battling a giant-sized bully with some kind of paddle-like weapons made of wood and other random materials.
The fight was almost over, but before the kids could finish and subdue the giant, the big bully swatted one of the kids into another who had been shouting orders. This left the other remaining kids to lose focus long enough for the bully to recover and start taking the others out in a similar fashion. Now the kids were the ones in trouble as the bully seemed to get ready to body slam them and flatten them like a pancake.
Chad felt compelled to help them escape such a fate and swiftly looked around before spotting some discarded metal jacks, a yoyo, and one of the paddle weapons on the ground close by him. He wasted no time and grabbed the metal jacks. He threw them at the big bully, getting him by the arm, which momentarily got his attention and made him stop.
Before the bully could turn to see who was interfering, Chad quickly grabbed the yoyo and paddle weapon, holding each weapon in one hand before running at the bully. When he came near, he jumped
Earlier
This was it, the debut of the young KND villain, soon to be known as BIG Brother, was drawing to a close. The mission, that was personally given to him by the super adult villain known as Father, was going to end with success. All he had to do was play as a distraction with these KND operatives while Father had the Ice-cream men raid the neighboring KND ice cream storage base, and that was it. It was nearing completion and the actual defeat of the neighboring operatives was just a cherry on top.
But before the BIG Brother could perform his new signature body slam, he suddenly felt some stuff hit his arm. Turning his attention away from the down operatives, who were mere moments from becoming his victims, the giant kid turned to his side. For a brief moment, he only had enough time to see a small kid flying at him with one of the discarded weapons in hand.
When the kid pulled the trigger, the big bully felt pain and saw stars before darkness overcame him and his consciousness left him.
Back to Present
Chad stood still while breathing heavily as the adrenaline soon left his system. It took him a while for his mind to register what he had just achieved. When he finally got out of it, he rushes over to the now recovered yet gobsmacked kids.
"Are you guys, okay?"
Flashback end
That was the day Chad learned of the KND and their ongoing battle against adult tyranny. That was the same day he was recruited when the leader of that KND group sent a recommendation to a higher-up in the KND ranks. Now, here he was about to leave for his first day of training; all he had to do was go meet up with the same KND operatives he saved, and they would be escorting him to and back from their training base.
The only thing delaying him from that was having to sneak away from the McKenzie house. The reason why he is at the McKenzie residence is that both of his parents were at their respective job; the Dickson matriarch was an assistant dentist while the patriarch worked at some lab. Both jobs usually kept the parents busy and away from home most of the day. The Dicksons had asked Mrs. McKenzie to watch over their boys, and they, of course, paid her well.
Scanning the living room, Chad made sure the coast was clear before he made a mad dash to the door. When he reached it, he turned the doorknob ever so gently.
"Chad?" Flinching at getting caught, Chad looked over his shoulder to see his 4-year-old brother in the middle of the room. "Where ya going?" Nathan inquired with his head tilted to the side in childlike wonder.
Chad did quick a shush before opening the door.
"Nathan, don't tell anyone, okay? I'm just going out for a bit, I'll be back." Chad then steps out the front door.
"Can I come?" Nathan asks, following his brother.
Pausing for a moment, Chad pondered his moves. If he takes his brother, he will just expose him to danger, and that could him in trouble with their parents, and they could potentially learn about the Kids Next Door if that happens, and in turn, get him in trouble with the Kids Next Door. He shakes his head, he can not let that happen. At least, not yet; only when his little brother is ready.
"Maybe next time, okay? Just cover for me, and I'll promise to bring back some cookies for you on my way back. Deal?"
"Deal!" Nathan quickly agreed with a big smile on his smile. He would have to be stoopid to say no to cookies. This earned him a chuckle from his older brother.
"That's my little bro," Chad said with a smile as he ruffled his brother's sun-kissed hair, which made him giggle for a bit until Chad removed his hand. "Now run along and go play with Rachel."
Nathan nodded before running back to the McKenzies' backyard. With that problem avoided, Chad made haste to the start of a great adventure.
This took me a while but im glad to get that out of the way. Planning to do a reading/watching of this too soon and it may hold a few key hints to some spoilers if you read closely. I'll be doing my best to try and update regularly but first see how this goes.
Whelp thats it for now see ya later.
