Brandon/Leo pov

The stranger with the mask gives the lookalike of my brother something from his bag, it was pink and that's all i could see of it before the lookalike eats it. His friends help him stand "care to explain who you are? And what your friend just ate?" Colonel IronWood asks, the group looks to each other, the lookalike sighs "well you see....i'm-" "He's got a low immune system and those are special medicines that help him stay healthy! He takes them whenever he feels weak!" the one Justin called Xylo interrupts the lookalike. "Uh yeah! He's really sick but feels perfectly fine when he eats, er takes his medicine!" the masked guy says, the big guy nods in agreement.

I growl "Just because you're sickly doesn't mean you can lie about who you are." the lookalike looks to me pain flashing in his eyes "Brandon, I'm not lying......it's me Ritchie, your brother" he says and i glare, "My brother died months ago! His work called me and told me themselves!" i shout. The lookalike shouts back "I was in a coma! I was beaten, almost, to death! I woke up in the middle of a zombie apocalypse with no clue what to do or where I was!" i see tears gathering in his eyes and i see for the briefest moments my little brother "R-Ritchie?" i whisper he nods his head and i shoot myself at him and hug him tightly "Oh Thank God! You're alive!" I say crying as he hugs me back. "Well that's beautiful and all but we need to make sure you all are accounted for and fully in the swing of our operations." Colonel IronWood interrupts our hugging session and we all separate, each heading to a different part of the Misfit's base.

(time skip to the next day.....cause i need to get the next chapter out sometime today.)

We had been warned this morning that ^The Doc^ was testing a new type of sleeping gas one that was supposed to work on Zombies, and that we should speak if we felt anything off about us. No one spoke cause no one felt anything. That is until everyone hears shouting and gathers near windows to see what was making the noise.

"You said to tell you if we felt off well i'm telling you that this stuff smells horrible!" Xylo, as i now know, yells at The Colonel and The Doc, "It's scentless!? How can you smell it!?" The Doc yells back "I'm from Hollywood! You learn to get really good senses or you're dead!" Xylo yells back "Not only that but it's making my friend really sick! He's in his room trying not to puke his guts out!" he continues "Why would it affect him!?" The Doc yells "LIKE I KNOW! YOU'RE THE DOC!" Xylo yells back "Both of you quit it!" Colonel shouts separating the two. Xylo growls "You're just as bad as The Doc." Colonel looks shocked at Xylo "EXCUSE ME!?" he shouts "You want us to fall in line like little soldiers! Well sorry pal some people can't do that!" Xylo continues "We are trying to make sure you all stay safe!" Colonel argues back "We're trying to cure the zombies and make it so people can be happy again!" Xylo throws his hands up and shouts "You don't get it do you!? The Zombies are DEAD! They can only become Zombies if someone dies! To become Un-dead you have to be dead to begin with! THERE'S NO BRINGING THEM BACK!" he stomps off tears in his eyes. I follow him stealthily trying to figure out which of his friends is sick, he heads to a room....Ritchie's room! I lean against the door and listen "Wha?" Xylo begins to ask "You said your friend was sick and neither myself or Inmo were sick, so we assumed." Jax supplies the answer Xylo sighs "Gods, what are going to do? There isn't a cemetery for miles, and Ritchie's almost out of Brains." i freeze at that eyes widening "Just breath Xylo, I can go get the brains, you just need to keep Ritchie alive.....well alive as he can get with being half-zombie." Inmo says and there are footsteps coming toward me. I jump and grab the pipes above me, lifting myself above their heads, Jax and Inmo leave the room. I drop down once they are out of sight and knock on the door acting like i just got there "Ritchie? You in there dude? You haven't been around all day." i don't hear a reply "Ritchie!?" still nothing 'i thought maybe Xylo would have done something.' I think, then say out loud "I'm coming in." i push open the door and see Xylo just staring at Ritchie, who's in bed looking green and sweating a bit, his eyes red, and i mean his whole eye not just his eye color. I walk over and nudge Xylo, he jumps "wha! Oh it's just you Bra-Leo." i nod and ask "Has Ritchie been near any pumpkins recently?" I ask and Xylo looks at me oddly "He's allergic to pumpkins." i supply and Xylo's eyes go wide and he runs off i assume to talk with The Doc.

I walk over to Ritchie and nudge him awake "B-Brandon?" he asks softly eyes glazed and i nod "why didn't you say you were actually dead?" I ask and he freezes "h-how?" he asks stuttering, "your friends are worried about you. As am i." he starts to cry "i d-didn't keep my pro-promise of being sa-safe." he hugs me and i hug him back. "P-please don't tell anyone! I-I-I don't want to be kicked out!" he begs and i hug him tighter "The day they kick you out is the day i quit being your Big Brother." he hugs me tighter, sobbing into my chest. "B-Brandon?" he asks after some time, "yes?" I question "I missed you, and I miss them." he says and i freeze my own tears falling "I missed you to Ritchie, and i also miss them." we both sit in the silence letting our tears fall, letting our twin bond connect, thinking about where our lives have been and wondering if our other siblings are okay, "Logan....Nova.....i wish you were still around." I whisper into the silence, Ritchie lets out a quiet sob and I start to sing.

(this is Brandon, this is Ritchie, this is both, this is ??, {this} is ???, {This} is Ritchie Brandon and ???, {This} is all four of them)

"Hey Brother! There's an endless road to re-discover.

Hey Sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker.

OH! If the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do."

Ritchie joins in to sing the next line, tears still in his eyes

"Hey Brother! Do you still believe in one another?

Hey Sister! Do you still believe in love i wonder?

OH! If the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do."

(Ahhhaaa)

What if I'm far from home?

Oh Brother, I will hear you call!

What if I lose it all?

Oh Sister, I will help you out!

Oh! If the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!

We sit in silence until two new voice sings from behind the door,

{Hey Brothers! There's an endless road to re-discover!}

We sing back our eyes wide recognizing the voices, the second voice joins in as well

{Hey Sister! Do you still believe in love i wonder?}

Then we all sing the chorus

{OH! If the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world i wouldn't do!}

(Ahhhaaa)

{What if i'm far from home?}

Oh Brothers, I will hear you call!

What if I lose it all?

{Oh Sister i will help you out!}

{Ooo If the sky comes falling down, for you

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!}

There's silence again, i get up and head toward the door, when i open it no one's there, i let tears fall, and whisper "Thank you Logan and Nova. We needed that." i close the door and head back over to Ritchie, i lay on his bed and pull him into my embrace and we cuddle to sleep.
