"It might have been accidental, but she will never harm you or anyone else again." He held WordGirl close. The hero didn't care that he was bloodied once more. She didn't want to let go yet. With his mostly clean hand, Dr.Two-Brains used a clean finger to wipe away his daughter's tears. The others were now silent, Calvin's words were now sinking in. It had left them confused, yet they didn't dare interrupt the villain comforting his daughter. Alan didn't know what happened other than what his niece had filled him in on and the grotesque scene he had seen. He guessed what happened to Athena. Not that he felt any sympathy for her. He didn't realize why the others, including Hugh, seemed to be in deep thought about something. Hyde went to tend to Amber, as she was still unconscious. Hyde felt his heart hurt seeing her injured face. Athena had paid for what she did, he was glad for that. Unaware that Calvin was responsible for the injuries Amber had obtained, yet. He scooped her up into his arms, holding her tightly. Adrian had missed witnessing the frightening demise of Athena as he was knocked out cold by the tranquilizer. Finally succumbing to it just before Athena had attempted to escape from Dr.Two-Brains’ wrath. He remained unconscious, they had no idea how long it would take for the drug in his system to wear off. As well as Amber. “Don't you worry, my wee pup. I'm not going to let you out of my sight any time soon. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.” His words went unheard by his daughter. Hyde held her so tightly to his own form. It angered him that they had managed to take her. It shook him even more, having faced the possibility of losing her. He wouldn't have been able to handle would Hyde be able to forgive himself for it. The blonde gently caressed the uninjured side of Amber's face so as to not unintentionally hurt her. After a few more minutes of silence other than Hyde speaking to his unconscious daughter, Dr.Two-Brains had spoken up. “I'm sorry that you all had to find out the truth about me this way. I… I was going to tell you all when I was ready. I just didn't expect that bastard to know about me. Of course he would use my secrets as a weapon against me. As much as I want to deny what he said about me, I would be lying. What Calvin had said is true.” Dr.Two-Brains took a deep breath. “I may not be the one to have told you all this first but I can explain it to you. Yes. I'm… You see, Victor, Emily and I are clones. Matthew Dunner is one of our parents. Our other parent was a very talented and brilliant geneticist. I was also Professional Terrorist. I admit, I helped Maddrix as Professor Terror before that horrible monster… before that horrible day. After I helped stop him from continuing his rampage, I retired from villainy altogether. Carl Woods is my other father. He wasn't a mad scientist like Calvin made him out to be. He was an amazing father. Loving, despite his short temper and road rage issues. I don't know how Calvin found out but I'm sure that he's somehow connected to those horrible people who took our father and cousin. My name is Genetics Sebastian Woods. Not Steven Boxleitner. My deceased Cousin's name is Steven Boxleitner, he is the real one. You see, the horrible people found out about me. He wanted to buy me from my father but my father told them to shove it. They didn't like that, one day while I was in my father's classroom where he had taught. They had burst in and attempted to take me. My father and cousin saved me and allowed me to escape. Unfortunately this cost them their lives, Steven was shot in the process. My father perished in the explosion that followed. I had to run away. I took my cousin's name to go undetected. Fearing that they would go after me and take me.” Dr.Two-Brains couldn't hold back his own tears, hugging Becky even more tightly. “I was retired from villainy until my accident with Squeaky. Becoming Dr.Two-Brains. I'm ashamed that I dragged my cousins name through mud and ruined his reputation. His name is now associate to my cheese related crimes.” He was shaky.

Though someone this Miss Ito did know Henry Jekyll. Did his brother's new boyfriend get this woman to look into him? If so, why didn't this man just ask Dr.Two-Brains about himself? This raised more questions than it answered. Maybe Henry didn't have the courage to look into his brother after he gave him a little 'friendly' talk. Yet the thinly veiled threats Victor had made shouldn't have been enough to get the teacher looking into Dr.Two-Brains. There was also the fact that Henry had no idea that Victor could find out who was hacking. Perhaps the man was intelligent enough to have the heat on someone else just in case they were found out, but he didn't seem like the type to do so. Especially to someone he had entrusted The Society to. Victor was going to have to get a few agents to take a little trip to check out why they decided to hack like they did. Maybe Robert Lanyon had someone to do with Miss Itos hacking. It would be expected when the man's father had been murdered. Perhaps he wanted to make sure that Henry was safe. Maybe this man was protecting Henry from someone who was threatening him. This could've had the culprit retaliate against the doctor by going after Henry or Robert could be responsible for his own father's murder and for Mr. Carew's attempted murder. The reason both Mr. Hyde and Henry left could be because Robert was threatening one and framing the other. Victor felt a headache coming on. For now, he was going to find out exactly where Robert was. If he wanted to take over The Society, he would've easily done so. Yet he didn't, instead only oversaw important business. He couldn't scratch any of his theories out just yet. He didn't know what was going on, but he was going to find out. He didn't realize that Eris had finally gotten home. He didn't notice the sound of the apartment door opening and closing. “Victor, are you okay? You look like you're stressed about something.” He expressed his concern, brows furrowed. “Eris! I'm fine. I was just overthinking some things.” Eris went over to Victor and placed a kiss on his temple. “Get some rest, my sweet. You'll be able to figure things out better with fresh eyes.” Victor smiled at his boyfriend. “You're right. I'll take a nap. If you'll join me.” Eris smiled at that. He found Victor endearing. The toymaker closed his laptop. Meanwhile in another part of the city, two people were arguing. “Must you stalk these people? I would rather not have the police sniffing around if they take legal action.” The woman shook her head. “It is necessary. I must save that girl from that horrid man. Who knows what he could do to them. I'm doing what is right.” The blond man shook his head. “You admitted that you were interested in our plan.” Calvin frowned at that. “I didn't do anything too crazy. I promise.” Athena muttered under her breath. Athena began to pace a bit. She wanted Dr.Two-Brains to break and admit who he is. “You're making me dizzy, cousin.”

Athena gave a weak glare towards Calvin's rudeness. "You know I can't help it. I haven't been the same after what that demon did to me!" Athena snapped back. Calvin merely huffed. Deep down, he couldn't help but feel some intimidation from the mouse man, especially when he knew what that abomination was capable of. At first, Calvin was shocked to hear what the man did to his cousin. He had always viewed Steven, or Gene, or whatever it called himself, as a sniveling worm with goody moral ethics. He never thought that the man was capable of doing something that heinous, even with his paternal instincts heightened. Things made much more sense to Calvin once he learned of his former coworker's family background. "Very well. Continue with your plans. I have other matters to attend to." Calvin exclaimed in a haughty tone, waving off Athena's anger. Athena gave him a suspicious look. "What are you planning that is more important than my mission?" She inquired. "Well why you have been playing vigilante stalker to a babysitter and her charge, I have been looking into the reason for the Mad Science League's sudden movement here." Calvin explained. Athena looked surprised at that. "Adrian Barton is here?" The B.E.A.W labs' leader has expressed interest in the mysterious Mad Science League. A small group of scientists lead by a self proclaimed immortal man whose made it his mission to fight against tyranny and corruption of the higher classes. Adrian Barton and his associates had proven too slippery for capture due to the man's chaotic and unpredictable movements. Athena was curious and confused as to why he came here of all places. "We don't know why he is here or what business he has, but for some reason he has made himself more open in public though he has maintained a cautious guard. I last saw him talking with Professor Doohickey, though I highly doubt the reason he came to this city was to help the man's predicament." Calvin answered as if he seemed to understand what his cousin was thinking. "Do you think it has something to do with the murder of Mr. Hastie Lanyon?" Athena asked as she recalled hearing about the murder. Calvin shook his head. "I doubt Barton was behind that. He has a clear hatred for the rich and elite, but he would have been more subtle in killing that man, actually making it look like a robbery in progress that went bad. There is another reason why Mr. Barton is here. One in which I intend to find out. So hopefully your antics won't interfere in my mission. Good day Athena." Soon Calvin walked away, leaving the deranged woman to her own thoughts and delusions. "Blimey! Those cleaners know how to clean out goop stains. It looks brand new." Hyde exclaimed in a joyous tone once he received his outfit from Rachel. "Yep. It appears people getting their clothes ruined by goop is a common occurrence around here. So they developed a new way to remove the stains and residue even thought it takes a lot of time. It's definitely well worth it. I must say." Rachel replied with agreement. Hyde ginned widely at his clean outfit. He then looked back towards Rachel. "So, anything happened while ah was gone?" Hyde inquired. Rachel quickly shook her head. "Not really. Like I said, we waited a long time at the cleaners. Also Wordgirl showed up trying to stop a robbery caused by Lady Redundant Woman. She gave a wave to Amber before she flew off. Amber got a little fussy on the way home, but it was likely due to us being out for so long. She's fine now." Rachel explained. Hyde nodded but the usually grinning blonde had a serious expression as he thought back to what happened and what Whiskers admitted to him. "Did Wordgirl seem okay to ye?" Hyde inquired. Rachel looked confused by his question and expression. "She seemed alright to me. Why do you ask?" Rachel was surprised to hear Hyde express genuine concern for anyone that wasn't Amber, herself, or one of the lodgers. Hyde let out a sigh and proceeded to explain what happened today with Two Brains and his sister. @unhingedexperimenter

Victor waited in silence as his brother continued to devour his cheesy treats. Victor wasn’t worried about his brother eating too fast and choking as the mad scientist never seemed to have a problem devouring cheese seemingly in one gulp, especially if it was a cheese wheel. Soon the mad scientist was done and gave a satisfied smile at the meal he enjoyed. It was only brief as his expression once again turned into a frown. “Are you ready to talk?” Victor gently asked his brother. Two Brains didn’t turn his head to look at him but gave a nod. “I screwed up big time Vic. I mean, Becky was already upset about how that police chief treated her. I was upset on her behalf. Then she had to bring up Maddrix and I…I snapped.” Two Brains groaned into his gloved hands. “I yelled at my little girl that I wasn’t ready to talk about the monster that killed my best friend. I shouldn’t have shouted that. I should have just told her that right now wasn’t a good time to talk and that we will discuss things later after I talked to Emily and dealt with Mr. Hyde. She looked so guilty and ashamed of her actions. I..I shouldn’t have made her feel that way. She didn’t know because I never told her before. She had no clue how much of a trigger Maddrix was to me because I never told her before! Dammit why did I have to inherit both of our parents’ anger issues!” Two Brains exclaimed in frustration. Victor placed a gentle hand on his brother’s shoulders. “Don’t beat yourself up over that. You apologized for your actions of course and explained why it bothered you so much afterwards.” Victor reassured him. Two Brains nodded. “Yeah I did apologize, but I still feel rotten about it. So we did talk, surprisingly Hyde gave me the confidence boost to be open with my daughter through answering a hypothetical question.” The mad scientist gave a watery laugh at the irony of that memory. Victor looked surprised at that but said nothing. He was learning there was a lot more to this Mr. Hyde than face value. “Well, the good news is that Becky doesn’t hate me. She’s mad at me for keeping this from her. Well, more mad about the clone and identity thing than the Maddrix thing.” Two Brains’ expression became more emotionally painful as he continued to speak. “She…she thought I didn’t trust her. Which is ridiculous because I do…but she only thought that because I kept this from her. Of course I didn’t want to burden her with what I went through yet because she was a child. I can’t help but think though, did I become too protective and too paranoid over Becky? It’s been about 20 years and I haven’t been sought after by those government people nor anyone else. I mean I’m practically a celebrity now. If I were to go missing it would cause some media exposure and definitely a search party. I mean there was nothing stopping me from telling Becky about dad or at least our real last name. I could have just made her promise not to mention it to anyone else unless I said it was okay. I mean I told her about the blood curse when she was 9 so I could have easily told her about the clone thing.” Tears began to leak from the mad scientist’s eyes. “I just…I’m just so afraid of losing her Vic. What Athena did to her only made that paranoia and fear worse. I…I’ve been so afraid of using my birth name. I could have just changed my name to Eugene Boxleitner and no one would have batted an eye. Only a few people knew that my name was short for Genetics! I messed up big time Victor. I was so damn focused on keeping my secrets. I believed the less people knew the better. I believed that those I cared for would be safer if they didn’t know. But what good has that done? My daughter feels like I don’t trust her enough! My best friends in the world don’t know the truth! I’m afraid of telling the most wonderful man I ever met the truth about me. Steven’s name is basically tarnished around here! Maybe Uncle Thomas is right. Maybe I’m just like Maddrix.” @unhingedexperimenter
