To be fair to wasn't Alan's fault. Well, maybe it was. He knew that betting on bot fighting was illegal but since graduating high school at 13 he figured he had nothing else better to do with his time. And to be fair it wasn't his fault that Yama was a sore loser and sent his grunts on him. He was lucky that his older brother John was able to save him from them, but they were unfortunately caught by the police. Alan looked up and grinned nervously at his older brother who was unfortunately cramped in the same cell as the other bot fighters who were also caught. As Alan was underaged he was put in a separate cell, just then a police officer opened his cell door and handed back his bot. (the same one that Hiro uses)

"your uncle signed you out. Try and not do this again" the officer warned him as a few more officers got his brother out. They were then led out were their uncle Lee was waiting for them

"John! Alan! yare you ok?" he asked

"yeah"

"we're fine"

"oh good. Then what were you, two knuckleheads, thinking?!" he half-yelled at them while yanking their ears and dragging them to his car. "For ten years, I have raised you!" he ranted as he drove and the brothers rubbed their ears keeping silent. They knew better from experience to not interrupt their uncle while he ranted. "Have I been perfect? No! Do I know anything about kids? No! Do I know anything about parenting? No! Should I have picked up a book? Maybe!" he continued as they reached the cafe "where was I going with this? I had a point!"

"we're sorry uncle Lee," John said

"We love you" Alan added

"well, I love you too" uncle Lee sighed as he opened the door and walked in "I had to close early because of you! On poker night!" he grabbed a doughnut and stroked his tabby cat; Alfie who was sleeping on the countertop and took a huge bite. "Stress eating! Because of you!" he said to them "come on Alfie" he said, grabbing another doughnut and walking out of the room, Alan and John took this opportunity to go to their room.

"you better make this up to uncle Lee before he eats everything in the cafe," John said. 'The lucky cat cafe' was their uncle's pride and joy and they both knew that if the cafe closed down he would be devastated and they both loved their uncle Lee and he had raised them both after their parents died in the car crash.

"I know" Alan said, not paying attention as he logged onto his computer

"and I hope you learned your lesson bonehead"

"absolutely" Alan answered, spinning his chair to face him

"wait, are you thinking about going bot fighting again?!" John exclaimed, looking over his shoulder at a map pinpointed with different locations

"there's another one happening three blocks away in half an hour, I can get there on time if I hustle" Alan answered

"When are you going to stop this and start doing something with that big brain of your?" John asked and tapped his forehead

"and do what? Go to collage like you so people can tell me stuff I already know?" Alan scoffed and pushed John's hand away

"what would mom and dad say?" John half sighed half groaned and ran a hand through his red hair

"I don't know, they died when I was three remember?" Alan mumbled as he stood up and grabbed his bot, John sighed and rubbed his face before grabbing a helmet.

"hey," he said, catching his brother's attention and tossed him the helmet "I'll take you there"

"Really?" Alan asked in disbelief as John grabbed his helmet that was hanging by the stairs

"yeah, I figured since I can't stop you from going then I can at least keep you safe. besides after what happened tonight I figured I can't let you out on your own" John answered and ruffled Alan's blonde hair

Alan shrugged his shoulders, "sweet" he said and climbed down the stairs, they quietly snuck past uncle Lee who was still 'stress eating' and drove off into the night.
