MALAKAS na pumapalahaw ng iyak si Rebel nang makapasok sila sa kanilang kuwarto. He was having tantrums after Rocket took him from Regan and she couldn't believe that he's trying to teach her son how to kill people. Pakiramdam ni Rocket ay sasabog na ang kanyang dibdib sa sobrang galit para sa lalaki. Sa limang taon na lumipas ay wala siyang inatupag kung 'di ang turuan ang kanyang mga anak nang mabuti at kahit na paminsan ay nagtatanong ang mga 'to tungkol sa kaganapan sa loob ng pamamahay ni Regan ay iniiba niya ang usapan para lang manatili ang ka-inosentihan ng kambal tungkol sa La Cosa Nostra.
But damn, seeing her own son holding a gun while pointing it to an incapacitated man made her realized that they're still not safe unless they ran away from Regan. Dahil kahit anong turo ang gawin niya, kung ang lalaki naman mismo ang nagpapakita sa mga bata ng mundong ginagalawan nito ay mababalewala ang lahat ng pagpoprotekta niya kay Rogue at Rebel.
"I want to go back to Mister!" Rebel screamed as he threw his toys around the room.
Humiga ito sa sahig at nagwala habang walang tigil na umiiyak.
"Rebel, stop crying." Mahinahon niyang sagot sa bata bago ito pilit binuhat at dinala sa kama. "Anak, I told you to never talk to mister but why you didn't listen to me?"
"No! No! Let me go back!"
"Rebel!" she warned but her son continued crying.
"Rebel, stop crying." Rogue stood in front of them and tried cooing his twin but Rebel gave him a slap that made Rocket gasped. Agad pumalahaw ng iyak si Rogue kaya naman hindi niya napigilan ang pagtataas ng boses.
"Rebel!" muli niyang sita sa bata. "Rebel, I am not happy with your attitude! Do you think hitting your brother is the right thing to do?!"
"I want mister!" Rebel answered. Nakasimangot itong lumingon sa kanya habang mahinang humihikbi. "Mama, you're a bitch!" he shouted and Rocket couldn't help but to discipline her son and gave him a spank in his thigh. Mas lumakas ang iyak ng bata at tila naririndi ang kanyang tenga dahil sa kambal na sabay na umiiyak.
"Rogue, stop crying." Saad niya sa isang anak ngunit hindi pa din ito tumitigil. Rocket sighed and massaged her temples before closing her eyes. Stress na stress na siya sa nagaganap ngayong araw at dumagdag pa ang pagiyak ng kanyang mga anak.
Napatayo naman siya bago lumakad sa bintana para sumilip doon at huminga nang malalim. Kahit anong mangyari ay hindi siya puwedeng mapagod sa pagdidisiplina sa kanyang nmga anak. She wants them to grow up like a normal person and she doesn't want them to live a life where they can get hurt or die young. This is hell. Her life is hell and the place where they are is hell. Ang lalaking kasama niya sa kinaroroonan ay mas malala pa kay Satanas at ayaw niyang matulad ang kanyang mga anak kay Regan.
Nilingon naman niya ang kambal na patuloy na umiiyak. Alam niya sa kanyang sarili na hindi siya nagkulang sa pagdidisiplina kay Rogue at Rebel. Ni minsan ay hindi niya sinabi sa kanyang mga anak kung nasaan ang ama nila dahil natatakot siyang gustuhin ng mga 'to na sumama kay Regan. She knows that she's thinking too much but she couldn't help it. Rebel is always asking her about their dad since he became aware of his surroundings and Rocket is always lying.
Nakakatawa tuloy na kinain nya ang sinabi niya kay Evo noon na ayaw niyang lumaki sa isang kasinungalingan ang kambal dahil iyon na mismo ang ginagawa niya ngayon. She feeds her sons tons of lies about their life; about the things they need to know. But she needs to do it to protect them from this world. Maybe someday she can tell them everything if ever their life is far from the danger they're experiencing right now.
Rocket sighed and walked towards her sons. Agad niyang kinandong si Rebel at pinunasan ang luha nito. "I'm sorry if Mama spanked you, Rebel. But do you know why I did that?" she asked but her son didn't answer. "Rebel, I'm not angry with you. I'm just disappointed because you didn't listen to me when you promised me that you will never talk to mister. Hindi ba nag-promise ka kay Mama?"
