My anonymous readers:

While I love the fact that so many of you are enjoying this story (it's my most successful fic yet by far), I'd love it if more people left me comments. I don't bite, really. I did this one time, and it was because I was asked to do so. And I bit a dog once when I was little as vengeance because it bit me first. But other than that, you have no fears! So, when you get to the end of this chapter, I fully expect feedback from you guys.

Chapter 9 – Defeated

Six years later…

Essex sat at his desk, looking into a microscope. Suddenly a cat ran across the desk, immediately followed by a familiar voices. "Kitty! Kitty!" The twins called out as they chased the cat around the lab. Adam and Etienne were their names, which pleased Sinister to no end. Remy didn't seem to put up much of a fight after the long labor Liz had gone through giving birth.

"Boys." He said, never looking up. "Did you consider that perhaps the cat does not wish to play with you?"

Without ever answering, the boys scampered off "Kitty, Kitty!" They were mischievous to no end, constantly finding new ways to get into trouble. Or, more recently, bringing wild and stray animals into their home. Snakes were the worst. Bugs were not all that uncommon.

"Grandpa?" Essex looked down at their younger sister, Rebecca, and smiled. She was his ally in the war against the twins. Calm, polite, and just a year younger than the boys. She had gorgeous blue eyes and black hair, and the boys had reddish hair and red-on-black eyes. They played with wild animals, she played with dolls. Sinister had an unbelievably large soft spot for the girl. "I scraped my knee! Adam pushed me down chasing kitty!"

"That is because Adam takes after your father." Essex said, picking the girl up and putting her on the table. "And you take after your mother." They looked up as Remy suddenly ran through the lab, chasing Liz, who giggled and hid from him. "See?" The girl nodded. Remy spotted Becky sitting on the table and quickly ran to her.

"Y'alright, petite?" He asked.

"Adam pushed me down." She pouted and Essex watched with amusement as Becky's pout seemed to melt Remy. "It hurt!" She added, as Remy disappeared briefly and returned with a rabbit under his arm, which make the girl smile like nothing else. She took it from him and ran toward to the living room.

"Now." Essex said, crossing his arms. "How would you feel if she brought someone like you home?"

Remy became silent for a moment. "Merde."

"My point exactly." He said.

"Becky never gonna date." Remy said. "Remy's heart couldn' take it."

"She will. And if you attempt to stop her, it will result in her bringing home the worst man she finds. Or, even better, you get to walk in on some scrubby, idiotic fool copulating with her." Remy seemed to cringe a the simple thought.

Essex laughed at him. "And when that day comes, you and I are going to kill him."

"Oui." Remy said, nodding in agreement.

They heard an explosion and ran as fast as they could outside to see Etienne looking horrified at his hands, a charred GI Joe at his feet. Adam hid behind Remy's legs. "He blew it up just like I can!'

"Great." Essex said sarcastically as Remy proudly held the boy up and put him on his shoulders. "Now my lab is a zoo, a daycare, and a blasting range."
