"what's going on?"- Jake was confused, Norm and Max never called for him in the lab.
Norm's face was serious which was very unusual for the man.
He was in his avatar form Sitting in front of Jake and very pregnant Neytiri
"I'm not sure how to explain this..." - Norm kept shaking his head- "I don't think that I ever will even manage to do that"
"Norm?"- Even Neytiri was getting worried
"Your brother came back from dead"
The clan leader flew, flew as fast as his Ikran could take him. He quickly went to Max whose face brightened up as soon as he saw Jake
"Thank God you're here Jake"- Max started - "I assume Norm told you, what happened"
"Where is he?"- Jake desperately asked
"I'm not sure how this happened-
"Where is he?!"- Jake yelled. Max understood his reaction, it wasn't daily when your dead brother suddenly came became alive
"He is near the graces body"
"What is he even doing there?"
"Scientist stuff"- Jake went towards the room where Grace's body was kept in.
Unlike before his steps were much slower, his heart was beating fast, what was he supposed to say to him again?
Jake didn't know.
The last time he talked to his brother was when he was still human and could walk on his legs.
Jake opened the metal door. He instantly noticed a small figure gazing curiously at the "dead" avatar's body
"Hello"- Jake greeted, Tom froze and looked up at him with fear.
Tom quickly gave him an "I see you" greeting- " I can speak Na'vi, you don't have to bother speaking in English"
"Well this is awkward" -Jake winced
"Tom...It's me, Jake"
"What? Can you repeat that?"
"Jake as in your twin"
"..."
"Jake who used to smash all your toy cars when we were kids"
"couldn't you think of any better memory than that?"
"Sorry..."- Tom looked him up and down
"you've changed... The last time I saw you, you weren't this tall or... Blue"
Jake laughed
"Well, I guess time does its thing. I don't remember you being so short"- now it was Tom's time to laugh
"This body does suit you, you look more lovely"
"Thanks, brother"
"..."
"..."
Both of them stayed silent
"so how did you Uhm... Became alive?"- Jake was curious to ask
"Eywa"
"Eywa?"- Jake was dumbfounded. She could do that?- what? Why now and not before?"
"I'm not sure, maybe she thought that it was a good time to give me a chance of being alive"
"That's good, I think..."- Tom smiled at his twin
"You look basically like any other Omatikayan Na'vi, if not for things I would barely be able to distinguish between of two"
