Together

 Cludro: Hey Plasma, why must we live in isolation? Why did our dad leave? Where is our mom? Plasma, please don’t ignore me big brother.

Plasma: You seriously don’t remember? Didn’t dad tell you before he left?

Cludro: He never told me anything. He said I wasn’t old enough to understand what happened, or even to learn to fight. Didn’t dad train you to fight when you were my age? I remember when I was younger that I saw you come back home all bloody and beaten up.

Plasma: Well yes. It was imperative that I learned to protect you in the event that dad could not. I’m not sure what happened to him ever since he disappeared five years ago. I think it’s pretty safe to assume that he died.

Cludro. Oh…. well what about mom? We do have a mom right?

Plasma: I was told that we do.

*Flashback 8 years ago*

Plasma: Hey dad, where is our mom? You occasionally mentioned her while talking to me and have photos of her laying around the house? But, my brother and I never got to meet her.

Plasmas Dad: Listen kiddo, the world isn’t kind to people like us. We were born with gifts that could be used to benefit society, or demolish it. After you and your brother were born, Earth's biggest leaders gathered to create a law that all those who had these “gifts” were forced to evacuate the planet and go to a larger, more suitable planet they named Coryio. Obviously, you know that this is where we currently live. Your mother was just a normal, beautiful woman, so she had to stay on Earth. I’m sure that she is still doing well, and not a day has gone by that I have forgotten her.

Plasma: But dad, you’re really strong, couldn’t you just go there and no one can stop you from reuniting with mom?

Plasmas Dad: …….(Sweat falls down his face as he remains silent).

Plasma: Dad?

Plasmas Dad: Listen to me ok? I’m going to train you to be just as strong if not stronger than me.

Plasma: Wait what!

Plasmas Dad: I don’t think I’ll have a lot of time left to live. How else are you going to protect your brother if I’m not here to do so?

Plasma: D-Dad?

*End of flashback*

Plasma: And that’s how we got here. That’s why I go to train everyday, because if I can’t protect you, who will?

Cludro: I don’t need protection okay. I can learn to fight.

Plasma: I don’t think you’re ready yet, ok? You have to have a gi-

Cludro: I’m the same age as you were when you first started, okay? What’s the difference between you back then and me now?

Plasma: Just listen to what I’m telling you okay? I promise I know what I’m doing.

Cludro: Fine then, I’ll train myself.
