The Lost Kogane

Say What Now?

         My brother barely even recognized me. But I recognized him: Black mullet, violet eyes, slightly tan skin. His face was definitely more defined than the pictures that Mom showed me - probably cuz they were baby pictures, but still. He gave me a flabbergasted look and said, "Do I know you?"

         I realized that my twin barely even knew who the quiznak I was. Mom and I must have been a touchy topic for Dad. Instead, I smirked a little and replied, "What, you don't recognize the family resemblance? I thought you'd be able to remember your own twin sister." Takashi and Kolivan gave the two of us stunned looks. I could tell what questions were bouncing around those heads of theirs: Is this the Keith that Krolia never shut up about? Is this girl really related to Keith? How the quiznak?

         Keith's eyes suddenly lit up with recognition, but filled with tears. His voice was a whisper as he said my name: "Kara?" We tackled each other in tear-filled embraces. I exclaimed, "Oh my Thor, it's you! It's actually you!" while his voice cracked as he said, "I finally found you!" I felt my brother's tears stain my Team Captain America T-shirt as he sobbed, "Oh my Thor! Ever since the night Dad died, the cops said you were dead, but I knew in my heart that they were wrong!" 

         "I can't believe you found me! It doesn't seem. . . . !" I never got to finish my sentence, as Keith mother-flipping Tasered me. Through the pain of the shock, I yelped, "Keith, what the heck?!" He grabbed me by the T-shirt and roared, "WHY DO YOU HAVE A QUIZNAK-ING GRAVE, YOU LITTLE KNUCKLEHEAD?!" Speaking the truth about my faked death, I groaned, "You have Thomas Chase to blame!" Keith, not buying it, yelled, "I have Agent Thomas Chase to blame for scaring the living hell outta me?!" Still in pain, I yelped, "Essentially!" 

         Takashi finally piped up, "Okay. . . . What the hokey smoke is goin' on here?" Keith gave Takashi a small smile and said, "Shiro, this is Kara Annabeth Kogane. . . . The girl I'm proud to call my twin sister."
