Return to The City Of Scars

Ethan's Reign

The twins laughed, now in the present looking at the portrait. Brianna looked at her brother with her one good eye, "Dad got home the week before our birthday." Ethan nodded, "I thought he was going to bail on us." He admitted. Brianna chuckled, "I think mom thought that too. Until he showed up on our doorstep at four in the morning." The twins continued walking. "So, was there was reason you wanted to walk and talk?" Ethan asked. Brianna nodded, "Yes. Come." Ethan followed his sister's lead as she lead them to the control room. He watched her pull a bobby pin from her hair and hurriedly pick the lock. Once she heard the lock click, she grinned and pushed open the door. Ethan followed his sister into the room, closing the door behind him. He frowned watching as she typed something up on the computer. "Brianna," He said, "What are we doing?" Brianna, seated in the spinning chair before the control console spun around in her seat to face her younger twin, "We darling brother, are going to prove my innocence. And then, we are going to get my revenge on my ex boyfriend and partner." Ethan raised an eyebrow, "And how do you propose we prove your innocence? We are the only ones aside from our own guard that knew we were in the safe house." Brianna smirked, her one eye glittering with mischief. "I know the passwords for Jack's house. I can get into the security cameras." Ethan watched his sister type away at the computer, only to frown at the sight of a red banner, denying her access." Brianna cursed, "Fuck." Ethan leaned over, "Why don't you call Nygma? He could probably hack it. That's his forte anyways, ain't it?" Brianna hummed thoughtfully, "I suppose so." She glared at the computer screen, "Of course he's changed the passwords. We aren't a thing and we aren't exactly allied anymore." She stood and stalked out of the control room, Ethan following her. Her one eye burned with emerald fire, glowing as her anger began to get the best of her. Ethan narrowed his eyes, "Calm down. Or that witch'll get to you." Brianna whipped around, the right side of her face slightly corrupt. "Don't tell me what to do, little brother!" Ethan hissed, "I'm trying to help you! If either of us let our emotions get the better of us we we'll be trapped in that purgatory hell!" Brianna growled, whipping around "I can control myself, Ethan! Don't forget who the stronger twin is!" Ethan laughed, "Stronger? Define stronger- you've been captured and in prison. I haven't. If you were strong my dear sister- you'd never have gotten caught." Brianna snarled, "You want a fight?! Fine! Lets take this outside!" Ethan hissed, "Fine by me!" The two twins stormed outside to the patio and then to the grass. Brianna stretched a bit before she glared at her brother. "You know the rules, brother. First one down serves the other for a week!" Ethan scoffed, "Your on." 

Brianna smirked in her place in the grass, her emerald eye  having a hint of a glow. Ethan stood across from her, emerald gaze matching hers. The twins rounded on each other, both trying to find the others weak points. Ethan suddenly launched himself at his twin sister, tackling her to the ground. Brianna snarled, grappling with her brother, the twins clawed angrily at each other, Ethan being mindful of her wounds from a week or so prior. Ethan had his sister pinned, and was about to boast over winning, when Brianna's legs locked around his, before she flipped him over, pinning him with a smug grin on her face. Ethan struggled against his older sister, growling in annoyance when he realized he couldn't move. Brianna snickered, "Who's the stronger one now?" She teased. Ethan groaned in response. Brianna climbed off him before helping him to his feet. Her one eye shone with pride. "See? Even with one eye I prove a formidable opponent." Ethan rolled his eyes, taking her hand and allowing his twin to pull him to his feet. "Whatever." Brianna giggled, "Aw is baby brother jealous?" She stood on her toes to each up to ruffle his hair teasingly. Ethan cringed, pushing her away, "Stop it!" He whined. Brianna rolled her eye, "You used to be so much more fun, E. What happened?" Ethan's face fell, "You happened." He murmured, "After you disappeared, things weren't fun anymore. It was just a black hole of nothingness." He turned to look at his sister, "Do you want to know what happened?" He asked, "What happened when you disappeared and I became the heir?" Brianna frowned, "You don't have to-" Ethan cut her off, "Yes I do. You deserve to know what happened after that night."
