Janelle POV

I stare at my younger sister, her heart rate sky rocketing.

Jen:So, are you going to say something?

I nod and stand up, I look at her and me in the mirror before going to my book shelf. Jen follows

Me:I don't fault you for what you did... But you have to stop talking to Odell the man is bad news.

Jen:What? No-

Me:Jennifer, trust me... Don't you find it weird that he's talking to you? He's sending you off to do little missions? Yeah, you think I didn't know about the agents.

Jen:What am I supposed to do? You and Anissa are going out and doing stuff to help, dad and mom are helping then there's me.

Me:Be thankful. Tavon died because of some ASA super Soldier, I'm chasing a tail that may end up being connected to my tragic demise. We can't afford to have you trapped in this man's mind games. He shouldn't be telling you certain dealing with this mess simply because you're - we are still young and you attend a school at least I'm at home, if he wants he can say you're behind the resistance and they shoot you dead in front of everyone.

Jen:*scoffs* He wouldn't do that.

Me:Why not? They took Tavon out of class in front of everyone and beat your principal down after trying to stop it. They beat dad down in front of everyone and didn't care. They follow their own rules. You don't know him Jen, nothing coming from these ASA bastards are good. Nothing dealing with the government is good for black people. You should know that by now.

She rolls her eyes and looks at us in the mirror.

Jen:I thought we were twins, we look nothing alike, nor do we think alike.

Me:*laughs* Fraternal... We are just siblings who were made at the same time.

Jen:Yeah but I mean come on I'm the smallest in the family, you're the second smallest and you're not even small.

Me:You're just a shorter Anissa that's all. We both look amazing though. Genes show that, it also shows that we are human what kind? Don't know but we are, we are bound to mess up but we have to make sure we make some what good decisions, you're getting older, you gotta make sure to find out some information on your own, don't let anyone spoon feed you anything alright?

Jen:Yeah... Are you gonna tell mom and dad about what I did?

Me:No, it's not my business... Just make sure you keep all your ducks in a row, why didn't you tell me that boy was there?

Jen:He's a meta, he took in my powers, you told him your name.

Me:Because he already knew I was your sister. He was bound to find who I was, plus I didn't get my eye cover, he was gonna recognize me.

Jen:Please you're eye isn't that bad.

Me:Didn't say it was, but it's not everyday you see a black girl with a scar across her face with a Grey eye.

Jen:Oh... That too.

Me:Get out.

She smiles and leaves. I hop and end up on my building. The sun is setting and it's a pretty call of duty scene. Just as I get comfortable I get a text message.

Gambi:You were right.

I sigh and walk off landing in the sanctum.

Gambi:Khalil is alive, or they made another him. The genetic codes in the poison from Anissa is a exact match to him. Just ten times more powerful.
