Braden opens the door to his luxurious New York apartment. Stepping into his dark apartment, he had a feeling something was out of place. He scans the apartment quickly and notices his office chair has been moved. Braden sighs and rolls his eyes. He turns the lights on and the chair suddenly turns.

“Hello, brother,” says the woman in the chair. Her appearance is dark with dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothes.

“Why are you always so damn dramatic, Stephanie,” said Braden.

“It’s not Stephanie!” she said fiercely.

“Sorry, Ambrosia” he said mockingly, “what do you want?”

“I want you to kill our brother” she hissed.

“Why do you want me to kill our brother?”

“Because he keeps ruining my plans for domination!” She said loudly, now standing up.

“No, why do you want ME to kill our brother? Can you not find someone else?”

“It has to be you. He trusts you.”

“Exactly. Because I’m the good sibling” he said with a smile.

“Good? You’re a mercenary. You're just as evil as I am!”

“True, but I don’t have to go to Goth for my job”, Braden said with a smirk. “It was good seeing you but I’m going to have to reject your offer”. He opened the door and gestured for his sister to leave.

“25 million” Ambrosia said with a smile. Braden closes the door and the two begin planning the execution of their superhero brother.

The next day, with the plan set, Braden invites his brother to his house for dinner. Ambrosia arrives before her brother and sets herself up in the bedroom. The superhero brother arrives at the door, bottle of wine in hand. Braden opens the door.

“Hey little brother!”

“Hello Jack!” The brothers went in for a hug. As soon as they separate, Braden pulls out a pistol and points it at Jack's head. He pulls the trigger and it doesn’t fire. Jack holds his hand out and several bullets fall to the ground.

“I have super speed. You’re not fast enough!” Jack says while he picks his brother up by the his neck and holds him against the wall. Ambrosia swiftly walks out of the back room.

“This is my kind of family reunion!” Ambrosia yells while walking towards her siblings. She points towards the two and Jack suddenly stiffens. Braden looks at his sister while Jack's hand is still tightly around his throat. He said “please…help”.

Ambrosia walks up to his ear and whispers “I always wanted to be an only child”.
