Cut Above The Rest
Chapter 65: Love: The sisters
Previous Chapter Next ChapterCanterlot Hospital
Roden, Sill and Jill were seated in the hospitals waiting room, waiting for visiting hours to start. Having been the only one to actually remember that the twins were locked in the basement of CHS, Roden had let them out and had told them of everything that had happened, The Black Cats being destroyed, Neons death and Trebles coma. After a few weeks of therapy and generally getting to know the two girls, he had managed to divert them from following their fathers example, and now all three live in a cozy two bedroom apartment in a city known as Maretropolis, which was a few miles away from Canterlot and mainly consisted of tall, black sky scrappers.
Of course, after having come to their senses, the twins had wanted to check up on their half-brother before going to meet their potential sister-in-law, who was pregnant with their little future niece or nephew. Roden more than happily agreed to take them. Well...I say that, but it's kinda hard to tell exactly how he was feeling, scarf covers most of his face so...yeah.
"And you said you'd cut down on fourth walk breaks." Roden spoke quietly.
Hey, I still like messing with my readers, plus, my story, I do what I want and occasionally do what the commenters want.
"Fair enough I suppose."
"The writer just misses how this story used to be."
"Zeri, shush."
"Alright dad."
Roden rolled his eyes at the voices in his head. Once the clock switched to the next hour, the three got to their feet and began to walk. Roden looked to the two girls following behind him, thankfully now wearing normal clothing. With Sill, the one with white hair, wearing a white zip-up hoodie, a short baby blue skirt and white leggings, and Jill wearing a small black t-shirt with headphones hanging on her neck, wearing a slightly longer red skirt and grey stockings.
"Alright, he's through here." Roden stated as he pointed to the door of Trebles hospital room.
"Ok, before we do go in, I've got a question." Sill said as they stopped outside the door. "Was it our bro that killed dad or someone else."
"I'm pretty sure it was Hack Wonder, now, let's go in." Roden answered as he pushed the door open. Sill and Jill immediately rushed over to Trebles bed, each standing at different sides. Roden watched as they stood still, looking at his face with thoughtful expressions, almost acting like curious little kittens.
Jill slowly reached her hand up and placed it on her brother's damaged cheek, a small scar where Neon had grazed him with a knife on the left cheek. Meanwhile, Sill gently placed her hand over a larger scar on his chest. Most of his wounds had healed up, but there were some that were taking longer. He'd have the scars for the rest of his life, both mentally and physically, but for the physical ones...Sunset found kinda sexy, so...there's that.
The two felt the scars on their brothers pure white skin and wondered if they had given him any scars when they had fought. Sill found one of his right arm, where one of her ropes had struck in their last fight with him. They both looked to each other and nodded, planting kisses on their brother's cheek. Their minds immediately went to Jegger, who was still at large, and they knew he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to succeed where their father had failed. As such, they called in two particular people that owed them favours...
1 hour later
"Ok, so we tried to kill this kid at one point right?" One of the two armed guards asked his partner as they stood on each side of the door.
"I guess, but we were always just on gaurd duty, suprised when everything went to shit we weren't arrested like the others."
"Just be glad our boss was dumb enough to not keep any digital records of his guards names."
"Come to think of it, he made some really stupid decisions."
"Oh definitely, like kidnapping the girl of the guy that can literally snap an entire squads necks with his hands tied behind his back, that's really gonna go over well."
"I know right?! And don't get me started on what he ordered the field agents to do to the girls."
"What did he tell'em to do?"
"Trust me, it's better you don't know."
"I'm just gonna keep asking until you give me an answer."
"No, I'm not telling just to spite you."
"Why?!"
"Well when you finally got Pokémon Go you started finding all the cool ones, all I keep finding is Pidgey after Pidgey!"
"Well that's not bad either, just trade your spare ones for candy to make your first one stronger."
"...You can do that?"
"You're an idiot."
Roden just stared at the two from further down the hallway. "Aren't these the guys we listened to at that base thing?"
"They aren't giving me much confidence in their abilities..."
Roden just shook his head and sat down in a nearby chair, waiting for the twins to finish their visit.
Jill stood by the bed while Sill was on her knees with her head held up by her arms that were laying in the bed. "Hey Sill?"
"Yeah sis?"
"Were we bad people?" Jill added with sadness in her voice. "I mean...we technically helped this happen. If we hadn't helped da...Neon...if he hadn't helped Neon, Treble would be awake, living his life but...now he's here, almost lifeless."
Sill looked up at her sister then back to her brother. "I...I don't know. We were just doing what we thought was right at the time, we were brought up thinking that Neon was right, Roden says it's not our fault for what happened. I don't like how I was, it's the same with you. We were just tools...eye candy for the guards...but that's behind us."
Jill gripped Trebles hand tightly. "We've gotta make this up to him somehow."
"I know. But...how?"
"How about we go after Jegger?"
"We aren't smart enough to deal with him." Sill countered. "We need something more personal, closer to home."
"Well, let's keep thinking then..."
Meanwhile
Treble smiled as he listened to Fluffle Puff continuously make silly noises with her tongue, somehow understanding it as full speech. Having her along for the journey was doing him wonders, the sense of loneliness and isolation completely obliterated by the bubbly girl that was the living manifestation of his happiness.
As they continued on, their surroundings began to gradually shift from a forest to pure white ruins of some sort of castle. The two entered the main courtyard of the ruins and looked around, small patches of white grass flowing in the nonexistent wind. They were about to continue on, when Treble suddenly felt slightly heavy, with violent thoughts coming to his head. 'One of the negative emotions must be close...'
Fluffle Puff blew her tongue once more before hugging the young man from behind, easing his mind and lifting the weighted feelings.
Looking around, Treble heard the sound of feet running on the stone, getting closer and closer. He suddenly pushed Fluffle out of the way and caught his attackers fist in his hand. When he got a good look at the assailant, his eyes widened in shock. "The hell?!"
