Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

Zil knocked at the door of a rather dilapidated-looking concrete building that was about two-stories high and covered in moss and dirt. If you didn't know any better, it would have looked like a gigantic mutated plant. The door was opened by one of the rebels at the sound of Zil's voice and he stepped into the lobby followed by the civilians. The building didn't even look big enough to possibly fit them all in then Zil motioned for them to go down the steps to the underground part of the HQ which was pretty much huge and well-built. Even the lobby wasn't luxurious but it was definitely comfy. There was a television for news broadcasts as well as several sofas where many rebels sat about chatting until the group arrived. Without saying a word, Zil cocked his head and the rebels immediately got up and supervised the civilians to the guest rooms and medical facilities underground.

Monica arrived at Damien's office and knocked saying, "It's me. May I watch?" the way she normally did when she asked if she could come in Damien's torture chamber and watch him beat information out of enemies.
((OOC: Ahh... I see. So that was it! Teehee! ))

Both children looked to their shoes with a well rehearsed faces of guilt.
"The nail polish is because Jenny rammed my fingers into a desk a few weeks ago cause I wouldn't do her homework, and the other girls made fun of me for having white lines on my nails." Valkyrie started. "Vincent does it so the punishment is less sever and we don't have to separate. We didn't mean anything by it, honest. That's why we wore the gloves." She said. The finger nail part was true, though the gloves part was a lie. They wore the gloves they they wouldn't get fingerprints on the mechanism.
"It's true. Valkyrie started wearing decorative masks with me when John punched me in the face and gave me a black eye." He said, looking back up towards Damien and swallowing hard. "Well, um... we first started making the droids when we found this book in the library and..." Vincent started, before their was a knock on the door along with Monica's voice. They stopped and turned towards the door, simultaneously and then turned back to Damien.

"Not at the moment. You may wait if you wish" Damien called back. Although he usually allowed Monica to view his interrogations (which almost always involved torture), this was going to be a personal one with the twins. No spectators. He looked back at the twins. "Well what are you waiting for? Continue" he ordered.

"S-sorry, S-sir!" They said synchronized.
"Well we found this book on the history of machines, and we wondered how they made them." Valkyrie started.
"We weren't strong and all, but one man could take out an army in the old days with a single gun." Vincent replied.
"So we wanted to make some too, so people would stop messing with us." Valkyrie continued. "So we started reading Chemistry and Mechanic books in the library.
"We started buying cars and metal toys to steal the gears and wires, and used acid from the lab to reform the pieces, but our stuff still sucked."
"So we bought some college books on Physics and Mechanics, and started making more layouts before we made them. We made a dozen that worked, but the teachers took away our sketches and our machines." Vincent replied, finishing with a bitter tone.

Damien pondered for a moment. "So how were you able to pay for all this and how did you get a hold of all these books?" he questioned. He admired these kids though. He designed his first machine when he was their age, though it was pretty simple. Still, not many other kids could do it at that age. He then raised an eye brow. "Wait. Stealing?" he remarked.

"The library books were free, and grandpa bought us the college books in exchange for chores." Valkyrie replied. "He owned a used books store before he died..."
"And the toys, we just asked mom. She didn't care about how many we got as long as we pretended to be good and listened to her pointless rants." Vincent finished.

Damien sat back in his chair. "I see. I want to hear more about your family. If I don't think you're giving me enough information I'll have my soldiers force it out of you" he stated. Damien wasn't above torturing children if he felt they were witholding information he wanted.

The twins moved closer together, both feeling a bit nervous. "Grandpa and Grandma owned a bunch of big factories. They made books and paper and stuff. We lived in a big house with momma and our mean aunts." Vincent started.
"Yeah, and grandma made the best sweets!" Valkyrie replied. "But they both aren't here any more..."
"They died a year ago... Mommy said they left us a bunch of money, but can't use it cause we're kids." Vincent grumbled folding his arms. "But she said she can still use it, and she uses it on stupid stuff for herself."
"We don't like mommy. She keeps talking about some Damien guy and us succeeding the family and stuff. She doesn't care about us at all." Valkyrie replied. "And when we ask questions, she always says 'You kids just don't understand.' I really hate that!"
"Yeah. And that whine! It's so... so... annoying! It's better to take the bullying at the academy then listen to her over and over and over again." Vincent finished.

Damien leaned forward. "Hang on, did you say...no. Can't be. Must be someone else. What has your mother told you about this Damien fellow?" he asked. People knew the first name of the Absolute Leader. It's not like he tried to hide it, so the children would be aware.

"Um... well it's a guy she knew in high school." Vincent started.
"*incert name of Damien's high school*!" Valkyrie finished as if she heard the name a thousand times. "And she was the top athlete who all the guys wanted and something about a bet to go out with Damien. She mostly talks about how he dumped her during homecoming or prom or something like that when she was 15, so she had to drop out of high school."
"It's no wonder he did. She's terrible. I don't see why she dropped out either." Vincent said. "I don't see what the big deal is about getting dumped either. Is it pride? People get dumped in in movies and books all the time. She's just melodramatic."

Damien had to hold himself back from freaking out. He had to remain calm. "I see" he said. He then ordered a couple soldiers in. "You two are going to be held in temporary custody until I get a couple things sorted out" he said.
The soldiers escorted the twins out and down the building until they were placed in a holding cell.
Damien then pressed a button on his message machine that connected him to Jian's office. "Jian! Jian! Get down here. Now!" he ordered in a bit of a frantic mode.

Jian jumped when he got the message. "Yes sir. I'll be right there!" Jian replied, rushing to Damien's office. He passed by Monica and went into the office, closing the door behind him. "Are you alright? What's wrong?" Jian asked, noticing the alarmed look on Damien's face.
The twins sat in the cell worried. They wondered what on earth would happen to them now as terrifying thoughts went through their minds.

Damien was pacing around his office and flapping his uniform jacket in a cooling manner. He turned when he saw Jian. "Oh good, you're here" he said. The Absolute Leader still had a shocked expression on his face. "Jian, those kids...I'm their father" he said, flustered.

Jian opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. He took a few deep breaths, also shocked by the news. "I- I suppose your going to run DNA tests and such. Um... Well..." Jian muttered. "Ok. Let's try think about this logically." He said, taking a deep breath. "They already are in the academy, so they are receiving the best education, and they're very smart with a very useful skill. How do you want to um... What I mean is... Do you want to be their father or not, because as it stands, you don't have to be. But if you do, having a child figure might not be bad for propaganda. If you don't want to announce that they are your biological children, you could adopt them in theory, or you could have them spend time with you after the academy day is over, using their mechanical ability as an excuse, and just not tell them. You know, be their role model."
