"The world will be mine!" the old man exclaimed suddenly, starting to leap out of his chair.

"Not till you finish your eggs it won't." his son said patiently, washing his own breakfast dishes.

"You drugged them." The man who was once the most wanted terrorist in the world crossed his arms stubbornly.

"I did not!" Bill said defensively. Damnit he figured it out. I knew I should have stuck with the peanut butter.

"Here Grandpa." Ana gave her long suffering sigh, which both her father, mother, and Uncle's Destro and Storm Shadow all agreed was the cutest thing evar omg, and handed her grandfather a glass of orange juice.

He started to drink it, and she turned and gave her father a wink. The old Man would be lucid and calm until dinner at least.

"I already finished my eggs." Tommy grinned. He'd smothered his scrambled eggs with ketchup, which still made Ana wrinkle her nose with ew.

"They might have drugged them." Grandpa warned him. "You should go throw-"

"Shut up." Bill said, suddenly serious. Though he would have interupted anyway, he never said that in front of the kids. He was staring out the window, his eye narrow with suspicion.

"What is it?" Grandpa demanded, rising to join him at the window.

"Ana, take your brother, and go where ever it is you hide when I can never find you. You don't come out until you see the light."

"Daddy what's wrong?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"I don't have time to explain just go! Go now!"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Dad?"

[cobra-kids.livejournal.com]

"Tommy c'mon we have to go."

"Why what's wrong?" Tommy demanded. His sister grabbed his arm and started dragging him towards the door. But he saw his father pull a gun from one of the drawers, the one neither of them were allowed near. He stopped short, his eyes wide. "Dad?"

"Tommy!" Ana gave him the look that always made him pay attention. "Let's go. Now. We have to go." He didn't argue anymore, and the two of them dashed off into the rainy woods surrounding the house.

Unfortunately, they soon found themselves, not at the lighthouse anymore.
