Hell Sibling (MacGyver FF) HS1 UNDER REVISION

Part 3- Sister?

MacGyver

"His name was Angus MacGyver."

The room went silent, and Mac's blood ran cold. How was that possible? He was an only child! She had to be joking.

But an unsettling realization began to creep in as he studied her further. He now knew where he'd seen her face before. It was in his own reflection.

His breath hitched in his throat, and he opened the door, exiting the room, mumbling a pitiful excuse as he went.

Once removed, Mac pressed himself up against the wall and put a hand to his forehead.

Sister

Sister.

The word ripped through him like a knife.

This...this...monster, was his sister.

The very woman who'd threatened to carve him into pieces, was his blood, and she had worked for Murdoc of all people.

This was insane. He had to be dreaming.

"Mac? Mac!"

A panicked voice brought him out of his thoughts.

Cage had appeared next to him while he'd been buried deep in his frenzy. "Mac, what's wrong?" She asked, her voice heavy with concern. "You look like you've just seen a ghost. "

Mac shook his head, unable to form the words. "No, I—she's—I'm—I can't."

"Slow down." She stopped him, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me what happened."

Mac was still unable to clear his thoughts, but somehow managed a reply. "That—that thing inside there, is my sister."

Sofia

"I'm sorry, what?" Matty asked, as the man by the door briskly stepped out, muttering something about a printer needing to be fixed.

Sofia grimaced. "I said, his name was Angus MacGyver."

Matty shook her head, "That can't be right."

Sofia was genuinely confused now. "What do you mean, that can't be right?"

The director pursed her lips into a thin line. "Spider, if who you claim your brother to be is true, then he isn't dead."

"You're lying." Sofia spat. "He is dead and you killed him. Murdoc told me so. He showed me the evidence."

"He tricked you."

Sofia still wouldn't believe it. "No. No. He wouldn't have lied. We were partners, we trusted one another. What reason would he have to lie?"

Matty sighed. "Probably to turn you against the Phoenix, or use you as some type of leverage. He always did hate us, ever since we shut down one of his operations."

"No. He wouldn't lie."

"Spider, the very man you're defending has tried to kill your brother—who is still very much alive—multiple times."

"I still don't believe you" Sofia tried desperately to hold onto any sort of hope that she hadn't fallen for a delusion. 

Matty got up, crossing the room, and carefully opened the door. She motioned for someone to come inside, and the man from before re-entered the room.

He held a wild, panicked look on his face, his eyes darting from her to Matty, and back again.

Matty turned to face him, speaking in a low, soothing voice, "I think you two need to talk."
