Silver Lining
"We all know of your sister's refusal, despite our encouragement.. But we decided to dig a little deeper into your family. I don't know if you were told of this or if Lauren even knew but there were complications with both of our births. For you, there was a risk of you, your mother or both of you dying. But two years beforehand there was a different surprise for your parents. Identical twin daughters."
" Two girls born to Reed and Caitlin.. Unfortunately a rather repulsive individual by the name of Theo was able to take her, putting the illusion that their second born daughter died hours later from complications.. Raising her for a purpose, you'd rather not know. Constant threats, as he prepared her for a ridiculous years long vendetta and obsession, while she believed he was her uncle..." Phoebe continued as Andy sat down on his bed to process the information. He thought it was just the absence of Lauren, of one half that pained him on the inside but another big sister somehow made sense. Even when it was just him and Lauren, there should've been someone else. How his dad was so protective of Lauren, trying to make up for the one he didn't see grow up. When he was younger he could have sworn he heard Lauren's voice at times even when she wasn't talking to him.
"Is she okay?" He asked turning to Esme." What's her name? Does anyone else know? Is this monster even still alive?" Showing concern for someone he should've met a long time ago." Why haven't me and Lauren seen her in the dreams?"
" Theo got what he deserved twice. Her name's Silver, that's the one she grew up with. We don't have any idea what was the name your parents had in mind when she was born. What she went through, the manipulations created a sort of mental block on her powers.When mutants grow up with abuse, sometimes their powers could be bottled up for most of their lives and they have no idea they have them. "Esme answered as footsteps were heard down the hall.
"She was sent away from where her uncle operated, and when we found her she was dealing with the loss of her aunt Tabitha.. It took a few hours to inform her about her real family, about what she really was.. But one thing is clear, she wants to be a part of this..And meet you."
The frosts went to the side of the room as she walked in. She looked just like Lauren but she had the same bittersweet smile Andy had on his face. They had no idea where to begin, or even if they should hug each other or who should talk first.
"Hi...Baby brother.." The two words that sounded annoying in childhood never sounded good in Andrew's life until this moment. Andy put out his hand, Silver took it and just like the day in the park they felt it.
For her it was a surprise, it was new but Andy knew he would do his best to explain Fenris in the ways only a Von Strucker could. No one could make Lauren join the Inner Circle, to be there. But he had her,. And maybe for a while it could be enough, and someday all five Struckers would be together.
