Half of their childhood was ripped from them. Taken at a young age they didn't know anything about the world they were brought into.
But at least they had each other

When we arrived back at the houses two brand new identical ranger rovers were sitting in each driveway, both black with tinted windows. I knew they were both fully bulletproof and fireproof and had more modifications than necessary. The vehicle was made integrated with the technology that Xander and I had designed into the system of the car making it completely different from any other cars on Earth.
"Are those your cars?" Eleanor questions trying to figure out whether they're ours or if she had visitors.
"They're ours." Xander confirms, moving the door of his boot which opened when he put his fingerprint on the handle. When he opens it a couple of boxes and suitcases we weren't able to bring filled them. We had brought clothes and our necessities with us but these were filled files for work, computers, tech we were working on and blueprints for projects. He grabs two suitcases pulling them out and I grab some of the boxes from his car, following him. Eleanor opened the door for us faster . We declined her help. I set the boxes on the floor and looked around Xander's room for the first time. It had navy blue walls with a white bedspread and light wood floors that were covered with a rug that matched the colour of the wall. It takes us three trips to take everything of Xander's up before we start on my car which had my stuff. It takes us another three trips to take my stuff up, luckily Nicholas had remembered to give me a key before we left this morning. When we were done I had packed everything away. The only thing I had changed in the room was clearing one wall and setting up a projector. I also set up a small camera in that wall in case I used my projector for video calls or working like I sometimes chose to do.
An hour later we joined Eleanor for lunch who had made chicken burgers. "I spoke to Nathaniel earlier about what he likes and doesn't and he mentioned your allergies but are there any foods you chose not to eat?" I tried not to cringe, I struggled a bit with a number of foods. It wasn't that I was picky, I just couldn't deal with some of the textures and smells.
"I prefer simpler foods, I don't mean without flavour or spice but foods that I can see what's in them or separated. I don't mean to be fussy or anything but I'd prefer if I had my rice there, the chicken there and my vegetables there." I demonstrate.
Eleanor nods, but I feel guilt even saying it. I know it's an inconvenience. "I do plates like that for Ezra." Elanor tells me. "From what I can tell you eat and have a similar mindset to him. I cook a lot for your siblings, your parents often work late or are on business trips and I don't mind feeding a lot of you so I just wanted to check. Do either of you like cooking?"
"Nonna Valentina would have disowned me if I didn't." Xander scoffs.
"No she wouldn't have, your grandmother adores you, she would have disowned your father for being a bad influence." I laugh and he nods in agreement. "You should let Nate make you his homemade lasagna, he made his pasta from scratch and it's amazing." I boast.
