Lets try // Story: Traitor(s) // by Jhonn //------------------------------// "- with this the systems will be operational without problems" - finished Alternative. "understood sir" "Good" - Alternative said while hanging the phone. "Are not you supposed to be a retired old man?" Isabell asked. "Being ninety years old does not mean I'm old" - said Alternative. "Of course yes, now let me finish with your sample of today dad" - said Isabell while she drew the blood sample from her father's arm. It's been a few days since his family talk, Isabell has been studying his father's miticulously, apparently he managed to isolate his father's problem in his blood, surprising his father, but even so, he has not been able to determine what is wrong with his blood. "Please Isabell, you will leave me without blood at this rate, you seek the cure, not my death" - said Alternative exaggerating a white face. "One would think that being your daughter would acclimate to your mood, but if you continue, I will give you" - said Isabell while giving a serious face to his father. "ok ok, I'm sorry, but understand me, I'm a free spirit, being locked in here is something that does not go with me, I also hate to see my daughter locked in a laboratory" - said Alternative. "Your condition is still a mystery, from what I saw, it is not contagious, otherwise it would be the same as you, but even so I can not let you out, at least, if you want to spend time, tell me about my uncle, I do not understand parts of your story "- Isabell asked. "Well, he is a somewhat chaotic spirit, but in general very good, he helped me in several moments, and he is not my blood brother, he is more honorary, we help each other in difficult times, he is even the godfather of Twilight and Cadence, I'm sure he would have loved to meet you "- finished Alternative with a small smile. "More, it's better, is not it? You used to say that a lot, but even so, how do you know your innocence was shown? You were not expelled?" Isabell asked. "Well, yes, but he managed to contact me for a moment, rather a call on the radio, I could not answer, but I could decipher that my innocence was shown" - said Alternative, while flexing the newly punctured arm. "decipher?" - Isabell asked. "... I think it's better to show you some things, it's time you know how amazing your old man is" - said happily Alternative. "Well, we need a break, the samples need to go through analysis, so we have time" - said Isabell while removing the robe. They left the laboratory, going to the upper floor, the house of Alternative is not extravagant, but not modest, after winning enough for him and his daughter in his projects with the government, he modified his house to provide everything possible to his daughter in education, when his love for the sciences became more than evident, the sent to build a laboratory very well equipped in his basement. "Do you remember that a few years ago, you asked what was in that box in my bedroom?" - Alternative asked. "Yes, and I still wonder what you have, you gave me terrifying dreams the first years with your" monsters "caged, then the threats to ban my entrance to my laboratory, and then the strangely insulating thing, not even an x-ray scan goes through the layer external, and it is impossible to open without your consent, to my dismay "- Isabell finished, making her father look at her somewhat worried. "You know, sometimes I wonder why you do not have a boyfriend, but I remember your maniacal way of being and I stop worrying, at least a little" - finished Alternative, gaining a flushed and angry look from Isabell. "You will explain to me that you have a damn coffer or you will continue insulting me dad!" - Isabell criticized. "Hahaha, ok, calm, you and Twilight would be perfect companions, although I'm a bit afraid to think that that way of being is my fault" - said Alternative thoughtfully, as they climbed the stairs to his room. "shut up" "Well, now, by the way, i am not American either, I have the nationality, but I was not born here, I earned it for my contributions in the war" - said Alternative as they arrived at his room. "Well ... that explains your lack of papers, at least congruent with your age, but, where are you from then?" - asked Isabell, intrigued. "Well, before answering, you have to look at my stuff" - said Alternative as he pulled a wooden trunk out of his closet, a rather large one. "God, so many years waiting, I did not feel so nervous since I gave my speech for the Nobel prize" - Isabell said as he slowly approached the trunk, as if he were going to run away by sudden movements. "It's not an animal Isabell, now, open it, you'll like it" - said Alternative while inviting him to open the trunk. "Ok, let me calm down, you know it's one of my life goals, right? Let me enjoy it." "As you wish" - said Alternative while laughing through his teeth. Canterlot, Twilight laboratory "NO !!" - Twilight shouted, as he watched as his test with the dimensional mirror failed. "BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK !, SHOULD HAVE WORKED!" - Twilight said, exasperated . "Dad, where are you? ..." - he whispered as he leaned on the floor. "You know, your father never asked for help, but we always helped each other, even if the other did not ask for it" - said a tired voice, a voice that Twilight had not heard in a long time. "Who? ...... UNCLE ?!" - Twilight shouted, running to embrace Discord. "But where were you?!, we look for you everywhere!" - said Twilight while releasing her uncle. "Twilight calm, I'm tired from the trip, it's not easy to walk between dimensions you know?" - Discord finished. "between dimensions? .... then ...." - whispered Twillight. "Yes, my dear Twilight, I found it" - said Discord with a smile, - "but you will not like it, I need your help, and that of your mother and Celestia" - he finished, making Twilight frown. ".... whatever is necessary" - said Twilight determined. "Very well" - Discord said while snapping his fingers and disappearing.
