"Dad?" A white-haired boy asked staring at the TV. "Yes Miles?" His father asked plating their food. "The man on TV looks like Grandpa."

James looked at his son, and the toddler playing in a playpen and moved to the living room, where his father was indeed on the TV screen. "Recent news, eccentric billionaire and inventor Reginald Hargreeves has died, and our condolences to his children."

"Wow, so they did do the news report on him. 'Bout time too, the dude was probably 100 years old." James said, his son leading his little brother to the small table. "I did the autopsy on him, Eat your dinner and I'm going to go pack our bags."

"Aight," Miles said, their father walking into his kid's room. James packed his kid's clothes, toys, and toiletries in their separate bags and anything else the boys might need, before moving to his room and packing his bag with his stuff. Grabbing two blankets, he put them into a bag and took them out to the living room.

"Miles," James asked. The white-haired boy looked up from his half-eaten plate, "Yeah?" He asked. "Will you watch Jayden for a second? I have to take your guy's stuff the truck."

The boy nodded and helped his little brother before cleaning his face and letting him down to play in the living room. James took the elevator and went to his black pickup truck, and he opened the back of the truck and put the bags in the back.

When he went back into his apartment, James called Pogo. "Master James, how are you?"

"I'm good pogo, I've got a question."

"Go ahead."

"Is the boy's room still put together?" The Male asked, "Yes it is, but you will have to make the beds. I assume you are bringing them to the funeral?" Pogo said.

"Yeah, I don't want them home without knowing how long I'll be gone, and I'm sure Miles would love to see you and mom again."

"Very well then, I shall see to it that when you get here, their stuff is pulled out."

"Okay, see you soon Pogo."

"As to you master James."

Putting his phone in his pocket James, put Jayden's shoes on him, before getting his shoes on, he grabbed the toddler's hand and made sure he had everything before Miles grabbed the keys and locked their small apartment.

Once at the truck, Jayden was placed into his car seat and buckled in, while Miles climbed into the front seat, James started the vehicle and they drove to the academy.

Pulling into the alley next to the house, James parked the vehicle and got out. He unbuckled his son who went over to Miles and held his hand. James went to the back and pulled out their bags and adjusted them. Once the bags were adjusted properly, James took Jayden's hand from Miles and they walked to the gate

James pushed the gate open, and Miles opened the door. "Hello Pogo," James said. "Hello master James, hello, children, how are you all?" Pogo asked.

"Good, is anyone else here?" James asked.

"No, you live the closest. I figured you would be here first."

"Yeah, where's mom?" James asked.

"I do believe she's in the kitchen fixing snacks for everyone." Pogo replied, "Alright. Thank you Pogo." James said nodding, "No problem." Pogo said, hobbling off somewhere.

Jayden pulled on his dad's hand and whispered "I go nap? 'M sweepy."

"Yeah, come here bub," James said picking the young boy up and carrying him up the stairs and into James' room. Miles following closely behind.

"Daddy's gonna go make your bed okay? So you lay here and I will be right back." James said setting the bags and his son down on the bed. Jayden sleepily nodded and Miles helped him take his shoes off.

James went into the next room over and quickly made his younger son's bed before quietly picking up said child and putting him in his bed. Covering him in his blanket, James kissed his head before leaving the room. James and Miles spoke quietly as they walked into Reginald's office.

James went back into his dad's office, this time something was shuffling underneath the desk, knowing it was Number four, James called out to his brother, "Klaus." The black-haired male smacked his head on the bottom of the desk before poking his head up to see his brother. "Is that little old Pikachu I see?

"iS tHaT lItTlE oLd SéYaNcE i See?" James mimicked. Going over and hugging Klaus. "Ah, still with the mimicking I see?" The black-haired male said.

"Yeah, I've got to tone it down a lot though, I don't need my three-year-old copying me any more than he already does," James said smiling.

"Wait, Miles, how is he! Oh and the baby! I need to meet them both, I'll be the favorite uncle, -not that there are any better options-" Klaus said. "Where are they!?"

"Jayden's in the room, he's taking a nap."

"Oh! That's nice. Can I see him!?" Klaus asked.

"He should be awake now," James said, pulling Klaus out of the office and up into Jayden and Miles' room.

A toddler was sitting up and was messing with a blanket grace had made him when he was a baby. "Jay, I want you to meet someone. You know my brother with the silly clothes?" James asked the boy softly. Jayden nodded and looked at his father who was picking him up and setting him on his hip.

"Yeah. I meet?" Jayden asked. James nodded and motioned for Klaus to come over to the white-haired pair. "Yes, honey. This is my brother, Klaus." James said pointing to number four, who looked so happy and was bouncing slightly.

"Wait, the one you talk about with the black curly hair? And he gets high a lot?" Miles asked from the doorway. James nodded and Klaus looked at Miles astonished.

James set Jayden down and, the little boy walked over to Klaus and made grabby hands. Klaus looked visibly confused before picking the boy up. Jayden giggled and played with Klaus' curls before laying his head in the crook of the older male's neck.

Miles left to find Grace and see if they can make cookies or to see if he can find another hidden passage. The two brothers left the room with Jayden talking about a talking dinosaur in his dream and went back to their father's office.

Jayden was placed in the desk chair, while the two brothers searched around the room for anything of value that they could pawn and get cash from.
