Who are these kids
Natasha POV
Natasha was confused, to say the least. They had taken the kids into custody around 4 hours ago. Bruce had decided to run some tests on them. CT scans and X-rays were taken, and he and Natasha were taken aback at what they saw. These kids' minds were practically supersonic, with the last two kids who she had to inject being the most abnormal. She still felt guilty about that.
Nat looked at the girl's brain scan again. It was weird. Instead of being the plain and boring brains can like they were expecting, it had a difference. She couldn't explain it. The girl also had some shadowed and knotted mass in her belly.
Who are you, kid?
Tam POV
When Tam awoke from the darkness, he saw some guy with an eyepatch sitting across from him. Then he remembered Linh. How he saw the arrow shoot through her arm. He vaguely registered the pain of an arrow hitting his own arm, but he was too focused on getting Linh. She fell, and a few moments later, he collapsed too, dragging him into the darkness.
The guy with the eyepatch spoke up, interrupting his thoughts. "Ah, so Silver Tips is awake. Now, kid, tell me. What are you?"
Tam, completely ignoring everything he just said, growled, "Don't call me Silver Tips. It's almost as bad as Bangs Boy. My name is Tam. Where is my sister?"
The man laughed, "Okay, Tam, I'm gonna guess you're the overprotective brother type. Your sister is fine. Now answer my question. What the hell are you?"
It was Tam's turn to laugh. "You seriously think I'm the 'overprotective brother'?" he said, physically air quoting it. "I'll just take a 'she's fine' as a good way to tell me how my sister is. You clearly don't understand how sibling - no, twin - relationships work. Take me to her, and then I'll answer your dumb questions."
They guy looked shocked at his response. Tam guessed nobody has stood up to him like that. He regained his composure and said stiffly, "Kid, you are in NO place to threaten me. At all."
Tam thought for a second, then said, "No, no I'm not. However, if and when I'm free, you hope my friends are in the mood to contain a very angry Tam. Because if they aren't, well, you're screwed."
The guy was visibly angry, but agreed. "Fine, kid. Promise you, and your sister, will answer all my questions. Truthfully."
"Sure."
A few minutes later, they were outside Linh's room. The guy flashed his ID to a scanner and the door opened. Tam saw that Linh was up and awake.
"Linh..." he said. When she looked up, he ran to her and hugged her tightly. "Are you okay? These lunatics didn't hurt you?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. How are you?" she said. Tam didn't have time to respond, because the Eye-patch dude cleared his throat, and said, "I hate to interrupt the sibling reunion, but you guys realise you saw each other last like, 5 hours ago, right? Anyway, remember the questions?"
"Yeah, and we haven't been apart from each other for, like, 7 years, so yeah. What were your questions again?"
