Chapter 32: The Brothers Two

  After Colin, Carter, and Ronnie left, I sat down on the couch. "Finally.. Peace and quite.." I looked down at my notifications on my phone. I had a text from my mom.

  I sighed.

  Mom: Hi cookie! How are you?

  Me: Good. Why're you asking?

  Mom: Oh no reason..

  Me: Mom..

  Mom: Yes-?

  Me: Tell me why you're asking how I am..

  Mom: Alright, fine.

  Mom: I want you to come meet the newest member-

  Me: YOU GOT A CORGI AND OR PUG?!

  Mom: Er- no cookie..

  Me: Dangit.

  Mom: Buuut.. I adopted three beautiful children-

  Me: HOLY ROALSTIN- THREE?! MOM WHAT THE HECK?

  Mom: I wanted Olivia to have someone to grow up with..

  Me: Wh- then adopted one!

  Mom: Well it's just me, your father, and Olivia..

  Me: Oh geez mom.. Your crazy..

  Mom: That's why you love me, cookie!

  Me: That's true..

  Mom: Oh! I have to go, honey. I have to pick them up. Love you!

  Me: Love you too.

  My eyes widened. "THAT MAKES SEVEN KIDS! HOLY ROALSTIN! My mom's crazy.." I sighed. "Anyway it's best I start- Am I talking to myself? Yeah, I am.." I got a text from Issac

  Issac: I need help.

  I quickly sent a message.

  Me: I'll be there in a few. Mom adopted three kids. Crazy I know. I'll be there once I meet them.

  I made my way outside. I stepped out the door and realized something. "Wait a second- my cut is still open.. doubt it healed.. So how am I supposed to get home? If I ran home my cut would probably bleed.. Then again it's just me.."

  "Hey again, Mar." "H- Carter?" "Yeah. Your mom told me to pick you up. Did your cut heal fully?" "Doubt it." "Alright then, let's go. Hold my hand little child." I rolled my eyes. "That was a one time thing, Cart." Carter winked. "And i'm a full time thing."

  I sighed. "Let's go already." "Alright, princess." "I hate you.." Carter winked again, and we vanished from the SQ.

--------------------

  I stretched. "Thanks again, Cart." Carter raised a eyebrow. "You never said thank you in the first place.." "So? I said now." Carter sighed. "Fine. But your mom's crazy."

  "Yeah, I know. Adopting three kids? All because she wants Liv to have people to grow up with.. But what's the use for the other two?" Carter shrugged. "I'd assume so they can act like Payton and Katelyn." I sighed. "Of course.."

  "Anyway, gotta pop. Text ya later, Mar." "Text you later." Carter winked, and vanished from my front lawn.

  "Alright.. I swear if she lied about the number.." I made my way up my front lawn, and rung the doorbell about.. 17 times.

  "Hey, Maroon!" Katelyn said, opening the door.

  I whispered. "Did she really adopt three kids? Or was it two pugs and a corgi?" Katelyn sighed. "Sadly, no. It was humans. One's three, by the way. The others are eight." I raised a eyebrow. "What? Payton was 8 when you and Zippy were born. I was 7." I shrugged.

  "Hey cookie!" My mom said as I entered the kitchen. She was putting blue frosting on a cake. "Mom.." "Yes cookie?" "Did they put you on some new medication?" "Why?" "You adopted three kids.."

  My mom put the last layer of frosting on the cake. "Cookie, I know. I just felt bad for Olivia. Payton's already a full time super.. Katelyn's in the young justice.. You're a full time super too.. And Zippy is at Mystic Academy. I thought she'd be lonely." I sighed. "Your lucky that's a good excuse. Now where are they? Living room?" "Actually, no. The twins are in their room. The old guest room." "Twins? Oh boy.."

  I made my way up to what used to be the guest room. "Miles & Dustin.. The masked marauders. Seems legit." I opened the door.

  A mask flew over my head. "Noo! I've been unmasked!" The twins paused, and looked over at me. "Oh no! A villain has entered our room! Dustin, quick!" "I'm the Speedster. I'm no villain." The taller twin's eyes widened.

  "You're- the Speedster? In our room?" "Er- yes.. My real name's Maroon. I'm your-" "Older brother? One of them?" "Yeah.. Zip is at school so.." "His name is Zip?" "Zippy. Zip is a nickname."

  "I'm Dustin!" The boy with curly brown hair hair said, raisng his hand. "I'm Miles." The boy with black hair said. "Nice to meet you guys." "Boys! Cake time!" Miles and Dustin's eyes widened. "Cake!" "Yup- just go slow though.. I don't want to be trampled.." Miles and Dustin nodded, and we headed downstairs.

  We all sat down, and mom plopped the cake in front of the twins. "Hey Mar." Zip said. "Hey Zip." Mom came in with who i'm assuming the three year old, and she sat down. Everyone started to talk. Loud.

  Our mom cleared her throat. "Attention- Boys take the masks off!" Miles and Dustin sighed. "But Mrs.-" Our mom sighed. "It's mom now, boys." Miles and Dustin smiled awkwardly, taking off their masks. Our dad cleared his throught.

  "To the newest members of the Allen family! Miles Arizona Allen, Dustin Roads Allen, and Marigold Katie Allen!" Everyone cheered, and Miles and Dustin's faces turned a light shade of pink.

  "Welcome."
