《The Legendary duo》01-01: Childhood of the Legends
Advertisement
It was a clean night. A gentle, cool breeze was blowing. The moon was high up in the sky and no cloud could be seen. The full moon's ray fell everywhere and lit up the otherwise dark night.
“Ah, the breeze feels so good.” A man in his late twenties stretched his shoulders while strolling down the road. He wore formal black pants, a white shirt, and formal black shoes. His hair was black, a bit messy. “Only if I had some alcohol.” he acquired a thoughtful expression, “Maybe I should buy some beer before I go home. Yeah let's do that.” He stopped in his track and went off road. He took a shortcut through a large farming field instead of going back and taking the long road.
“Got to run. Let's just hope the beer shop is still open.” he started with jogging which soon turned into a full sprint. It took him nearly five minutes to cross the field, then another five minutes on the paved road, then after turning a corner, he stopped while gulping down large mouthful of air. “Phew! Yah!” he exclaimed as if he won a lottery. “It's still open.”
The transaction took less than a minute to conclude, as there was no customer. He now had two large bottles of chilled strong beer and a happy mood. Happily whistling a tune, he again took the shortcut and strolled towards his home, occasionally taking a swig from the bottle. The cold beer did its job, calming his nerves and lifting his spirit. What it did not do is, make a loud 'crack' sound, and throw the man towards his right for a few meters.
Immediately after being thrown, the man regained his balance with superhuman finesse. His eyes narrowed and with practiced motions he took out a pistol from under his shirt. Firmly gripping the pistol, he observed his surroundings. No one could be seen, except for two small bundles of cloths on the ground where he stood mere moments ago.
He cautiously approached the bundles, ready to jump back in a moment’s notice if those turn out to be some kind of bomb. He slowly inched closer until the bundles started making a sound he was not expecting them to make.
“Ugyaa, ugyaa” cried both the bundles, though not in sync. He was speechless for moment. Then he closed the distance a bit faster while still being wary. But when he peeked inside the bundles, he was once again speechless.
He only managed to say “What the fu..” He pondered just how in the world two alive and healthy babies appeared in this vast open field? He could swear they were not there minutes ago. No one except him was in the field. Then how? The man didn't believe in ghosts, or supernatural beings, or in magic. “Just what the fuck did I drink to hallucinate to this extent!” he searched for the bottles and found them lying not far from his location. Most of the contents of the opened bottle have spilled on the ground and the other one has cracked in the middle, spilling all the contents. Meanwhile the babies kept crying as loudly they could. The man could only grip his head in confusion.
After some time, the man had to accept that the babies in front of him were real. Somehow, be it magically or supernaturally, both of them has appeared in front of him and they are crying. He sighed and picked up both of them in his arms in an attempt to soothe them. However it didn't prove much effective. The man stood up holding both of them securely in his hands and made a run for his home. Upon entering his home, he quickly set them down on his bed, heated up some milk he had in his refrigerator and took out a small spoon. The babies stopped crying when he fed them and not long after they fell asleep.

“Fuck man! What the hell am I supposed to do with them?” cursed the man. It's not like he didn't like kids. But he had no idea on how to raise one. He didn't have a wife, or any relative he could rely on. “Who can I entrust them to?” The man took a deep breath and stopped to think for a bit. And as he did, the answers came to him. “Of course. Them. This would be the perfect opportunity.”
He took a quick bath and went to sleep. In the morning 5 o'clock, the first thing he did after waking up, is to call a number. Not through a phone but through his house AI. A deep male voice informed him that he has reached Smith residence and his call shall be answered shortly. After three rings, a female voice answered. “Good morning chief.”
“Good morning Bella. Is Richard with you?” The man calmly replied.
“I will go wake him up.” Bella’s smile faded a bit. “It is awfully early for you to call. Something happened?” The man could detect a small hint of worry in her voice.
“Yes but don't worry. I am hoping it will be a good one.” the man assured her. The beautiful smile on Bella’s face returned with it.
The man patiently waited for Bella to wake up her husband. Richard joined the conversation in no time.
“Morning Francis.” said Richard.
“Good morning Richard. Are you busy today?” Asked the man, known as Francis, seriously.
“Well I thought about going on a trip with my lovely wife, but you will tell me to cancel it, right?” Richard asked suspiciously.
“Yes. Come over to my house right now. Bring Bella with you.” Francis didn't even hesitate for a second to confirm Richard's suspicion.
“Ok. But what do you need Bella for?” Richard asked, confusion evident in his voice. Bella was a normal housewife after all. She can't do something Francis can ever want.
“You will see. Make haste. It is a serious matter.” Francis ordered.
“Aye aye chief. I will be there shortly.” Richard answered. “See you soon chief.” Bella cheerfully stated. The call disconnected after that.
Richard and Bella came over within half an hour. There was little to no traffic at this hour. Francis led both of them to his bedroom, where both of the babies were sleeping.
“Are you the father chief?” Bella spoke, her eyes open wide. She can't believe that Francis went and got a girl pregnant. Richard didn't speak a word. However his eyes told Francis that he was expecting an explanation.
Francis related everything that happened yesterday night, not missing anything. Richard and Bella listened to everything he had to say without interrupting him. When the explanation ended, Richard spoke up.
“So what is your plan chief? Why are you telling us all this?” Richard's eyes narrowed a bit. There were some valid reasons he could think of. However he would like to hear that from Francis himself.
Bella interjected before Francis has a chance to answer. “Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that you were coming home, then you went to buy alcohol, then on your way back something pushed you away and then put the babies on the ground?”
“Yes.” Francis thought for a moment before answering. “That almost summarizes everything that happened until now.”
“You sure that you weren't just drunk and found the babies in front of your door when you came back to home?” Bella asked with a dubious voice. Well no one can blame her. Francis's story was a lot like something straight out of a fiction.

“Yes I am sure Bella. Even I am having a hard time believing this.” Francis calmly assured Bella. These turns of events were confusing for Bella as well as for Francis himself.
“Ok. Now what are you going to do?” Bella slumped her shoulders. She had given up trying to logically thinking about it. “You are going to take care of them?”
“No. Even though I want to, I have no idea on how to raise a baby. They will need someone to constantly take care of them. That is something I can’t give them.” Francis calmly replied, shocking both Richard and Bella. Before they could protest, he held up his hand in a stop sign he wasn’t done talking yet. “Till I find out what happened, I want you two to take care of the babies.”
Richard stiffened up a bit hearing that and looked at Bella. Bella did the same. They looked at each other before Bella asked the obvious question. “Can I talk to Richard for a bit?”
Francis gave them a warm smile. “Sure. You can take the room opposite to this one.”
They both nodded and stood up. Francis remained seated to watch over the babies. They still haven't woken up which is good. Speaking of waking up, he will need to warm up some milk for them when they do wake up.
'Will they accept?' Sighed Francis. There is a reason he called for the Smith couple specifically. As per his current job requirement, he had to go through the profiles of all the people who will work under him and with him. And through Richard's profile, he has found out that the Smith couple can never have a child. The problem with Richard is that, the sperm count in his semen was way low than required. The problem with Bella is that, her womb doesn't create any egg for the sperm to fertilize. Moreover her womb is incapable of carrying a child.
So Francis asked Richard whether he could do something for them. After all, in their line of work, having a clear mind, a strong conviction and confidence is a must. But a man can't have either of them when he can't provide his own wife with a child. Alas, there was nothing that Francis could do which Smith couple hadn't already tried. They could always adopt a child, sure. But they feared that their adopted child will not see them as true parents when he/she learns of the truth. And if a certain scenario shows itself, the child might even blame the couple for dragging him/her into a life he/she wanted to have no part of.
Richard and Francis both work in government sectors. However the twist is, the particular department they work in, it never existed in the past, doesn't exist now and will never exist in the future. This particular department has bases all over the country, however none knows where. Heck, even not all the people who works for the department knows its location. It is a department which handles all the things the government couldn't resolve in lawful ways. It is called “The Agency”.
Need a corrupt politician exposed? Call the agency. Need to break up a organized crime gang? Call the agency. Need to threaten some head honcho of some company? Call the agency. Need to spy on foreign ambassadors? Call the agency. Need to steal some secret from other country? Call the agency.
Government cut no corners on the matter of funding the agency. A simple janitor of the Agency earned enough money to live in luxury. However like all good things, it has one simple catch. If the agency is compromised in any way at any time, the government will deny any and all involvement with the agency. Furthermore the government will issue a bounty on the agency to save their own face. That's why, if one is involved with the agency, he or she must be prepared for the worst case scenario. And if this scenario happens, the whole family will be in jeopardy. If the agency is anyhow compromised, one can forget about living a normal life.
Before marrying Richard, Bella worked in a multi-national company as a sales representative. She is quite good looking, has a curvy and toned figure from judo training, a generous bust and bountiful hips, and has this mature and motherly aura about her which made people want to listen to her. It made her the perfect sales-woman. On several occasions, she had to fend off advances of horny men who dreamed of spending a steamy night with a hot babe. She and Richard met in a drinking bar, where she had to shoulder throw a drunk hoodlum who wouldn’t take no for an answer and had to fend off another six of them. Things went south after their boss showed up. The boss had less training in karate, but had more experience in actual fights. He had her gasping on the floor with a solid punch in the stomach within a minute.
That's where Richard stepped in. He broke three fingers, dislocated right hand elbow joint, punched out two front teeth and gave a stern warning that if something like this should ever happens, he better pray to god for salvation. Then he promptly proceeded to scoop up Bella in a princess carry and brought her to his home. There he treated her bruises, one thing led to another and they spent the night together.
They started dating and not long after Richard proposed. He gave her a vague explanation on what he does for a living along with the risks that came with it and braced himself for the moment where she would reject him harshly. But on the contrary, she said yes without missing a heartbeat and after a month they got married.
Now at present, Richard and Bella conversed among themselves on what to do. On one side they very much desired a child, but on the other side they hesitated whether if they should do it or not.
“I can't Richard. I just can't.” Sobbed Bella quietly in Richard's arms. She is a physically strong woman, true, but not mentally. Her mind is already under enough pressure after not being able to provide Richard with a child. The thought of her adopted child rejecting her as their mother after they learn of the truth, she won't be able to live through it. She is afraid of taking the next step.
“Shh shh Bella. Calm down.” Richard hugged her strongly and consoled her. “Listen to me Bella. We can't ever have a child. That is set in stone. Why not take a gamble and take those two kids in?” He tried to reason with her. She is a tad bit emotional, true, but not entirely without reason. Compared to her, his mental fortitude is a lot stronger. “Think about it. What if those two kids accept us?” He suggested with a bright smile.
“But...” Bella wanted to deny. However she stopped talking when Richard put his right index finger on her lips in an attempt to silence her. “If we don't take the risk now Bella, we will never have the courage to do so in the future and those two kids will be sent to some orphanage or,” his voice darkened “or worse, they will end up in some criminal gang and then I myself will have to put them down in the future.”
It was fairly common that children from the orphanages tended to end up with bad company and eventually in some criminal gang. Bella quit her sobbing and wiped her eyes. Though her eyes still simmered, she didn't cry and worked up her resolve. After a good while, she looked into Richard's eyes and stated “Alright. I will become the best mother for them.”
“There's the girl I fell for.” Richard smiled and gave her a small peck on the cheek. Bella blushed a bit and the corner of her lips twitched upwards. Richard let go of her and took her hand. “Don't worry. We will do our best on raising them and they will never even think of leaving us. You'll see.” Bella could only strengthen her resolve and nod her head. They left the room and told Francis their decision. Francis asked again whether they were sure or not, but the couple stood firm. They returned home each holding one kid and corner of their lips twitching upwards.
Kids were named Kaushik Smith and Michael Smith. A lot of tests were performed to determine that they didn't have any heredity disease or deformity. Francis handled the responsibility for registering them as the Smith couples son. The kids were taught by Bella on basic knowledge. Richard trained them on various exercises. As it turned out, both the kids had good brains and are diligent in both training and studying. By the time they started primary school, they had already learned more than half the things one could learn in primary standard. By the time they finished primary school, they had become somewhat of a local celebrity.
Halfway through their high school, some things changed. Kaushik became more attached to Bella. He spent most of his free time helping Bella do housework or simply cuddling with her. Michael became more attached to Richard. He spent most of his time training or learning on various fighting tactics. Kaushik preferred quiet, busty kind of ladies. He became popular among the young lady teachers and the studious girls. Mike preferred energetic, sporty kind of ladies. He became popular with every girl in every sports club in every school.
Time went by peacefully and soon it was time. Kaushik and Michael will finish their high school. After that, they are now adults legally. Having trained under Richard's strict watch for several years, they had developed a strong physic. Having studied under Bella's careful tutelage, they have developed a bright personality. They were the envy of almost every boy in the locality and heartthrob of every girl. However, Richard and Bella both became increasingly stressed. After all, they would have to disclose Kaushik and Michael’s origin to them and prey that their kids will love them back as much as they did them.
On the day when Kaushik and Michael graduated from high school, Richard and Michael threw a small party. Some of the neighbors and their kids, some of the friends of Kaushik and Michael from school, Francis attended the party. After the party ended and people went home, the couple decided it was now or never.
"Kaushik, Mike. Could you stop cleaning and come over here for a bit?" Richards asked a bit more loudly than necessary. Nervousness was evident in his voice. His facial expressions betrayed him even though he tried to keep calm. Bella didn't dare look up and played with her thumbs. "Yeah sure." Mike answered back from the kitchen. "Give me a minute." Kaushik's voice could be heard from upstairs.
That small waiting time was like torture for the couple. Richard even cursed under his breath. "Fucking hell. Why the fuck am I so nervous? I spent months behind enemy lines without any fucking supplies for god’s sake." He gritted his teeth. "Just how the thought of talking to my sons is giving me goosebumps?" Bella rubbed her both of her shoulders in an attempt to calm her nerves. It was not very effective.
"Mom, you ok?" Kaushik just entered the drawing room. He had a premonition on what they were going to discuss. He decided to act ignorant. "Are you cold?" He sat beside Bella and wrapped his arm around his mother in attempt her warm her up. However, Bella shook her head signifying that she is not cold.
Richard pointed to the front, "Go sit there. We have some things to, uh" Richard fumbled with his words before finding the right one, "to discuss." He attempted to smile. He failed, however.
"Yeah sure, if you say so." Mike answered doubtfully. His parents were acting a bit odd. Kaushik also got up and sit beside Mike facing the couple.
A tense few minute passed without anyone saying anything. "Dad? We are ready whenever you are." Kaushik decided to break the ice. By now, both he and Mike were sure of the content of the discussion.
"Oh yeah right." Richard broke out of his stupor and faced his sons. "First of all, congratulations on completing high school. You are now officially adults and can work. And that also means you can legally live separately from your legal guardians, should you choose to do so."
Bella unintentionally shivered a bit. Richard held her a bit strongly and comforted her. However Kaushik and Mike, they already knew what was coming next.
Almost three years ago, Kaushik had received a fairly powerful breaker from Francis. A breaker is a device whose purpose is to break through encryption algorithm. Connect it any terminal encrypted by a passcode and it will brute force its way through. Very handy if you want to hack into a password protected computer.
Being a horny teenager at the age of 15, Kaushik decided to hack into Richard's laptop using the breaker and look for porn videos. During his thorough search through every folder on the computer, he discovered a report file with his and Mike’s name on it. He hastily copied the file to his own laptop and later read through it. The file held reports on his and Mike’s DNA test results, comparison of his DNA to Mike's own, which was a mismatch.
Wanting to understand what this means, he went on a secret investigation with Mike. He investigated the hospital where they were tested, the doctors who conducted the tests, even the equipment used for the tests. After he concluded the investigation, he determined that, if this is not very elaborate setting to deceive them, then the contents of the report were true. He and Mike are not blood related. Furthermore, Bella and Richard are not their biological parents.
However, this discovery didn't change anything. For all their life, they had known Richard and Bella as their parents. Why would that change just because they were not blood related? If anything, this discovery further enhanced their love and respect for the couple. It was this discovery which led Kaushik becoming attached with Bella and Mike with Richard.
“So I think you two should know something.” Richard at last worked up his resolve, enough to talk again. He briefly explained all the facts, leaving nothing behind. Which sadly didn’t impress either Kaushik or Mike, as they already knew what happened on that fateful day. However their expressionless face only served to agitate Richard and Bella further.
“And that’s about it.” it didn’t take long for Richard to finish the backstory. Now he waited for the decision, a decision which will never come.
“That’s a nice story dad. Does this count as a bedtime story?” Mike decided to fool around a bit.
“Be quiet.” Kaushik smacked Mike’s head lightly. Mike just made a silly face and rubbed where he got hit. “I don’t get it dad. What is the point of this discussion?” Kaushik decided to be a bit serious. “Yeah we are not your flesh and blood, sure. Something like this should be known to us, sure. Why you two look like you’re awaiting divine judgment?”
Richard had a surprised expression on his face. Even Bella looked up in confusion. “Aren’t you two… you know… mad for not telling you this earlier?” Richard sounded a bit confused. “Aren’t you two considering living separately since we are not your biological parents?”
“And what makes you think we will ever do that?” Mike spoke up this time. “I know mom’s a bit airhead at times.” Bella glared at Kaushik. “But dad, you should have noticed.”
“What I should have noticed?” Richard was further confused. Kaushik sighed and relayed all that happened, but left out the fact that he was searching for porn.
Both parties remained silent after Kaushik spoke, digesting all the facts that have been said. Richard sighed not long after, “So you already knew? Should’ve guessed it. Mike’s sudden enthusiasm in training and Kaushik’s sudden attachment with Bella. I suppose I only saw it as you two hitting puberty.”
“So you will not leave me then?” Bella suddenly found the courage to talk. Some tears have already stained her beautiful face, but strangely her eyes held a ray of hope. Kaushik was relieved to see it.
“Should I bury my face between your breasts to prove it?” Kaushik joked, not really putting any meaning behind it. However, he was taken aback when Bella smiled widely and opened her arms.
“You are not serious are you mom? I was joking you know?” Kaushik hastily blurted out the first thing that came to his mind. He regretted it immediately. Bella’s shoulders drooped, her smile gone, tears formed in the corner of her eyes, and she started to sniffle.
“God forgive me.” Kaushik gave in and stood up from the couch. He went in front of Bella, put his arms around her waist and put his face between her breasts. Still crying, she put her arms around his head and planted a kiss on his head. Mike went to Richard and gave him a hug.
After a minute or two, they separated. “Dad, whatever happened, happening, or will happen, know this.” Mike stated firmly. “We are your son. This fact will never change.” Kaushik chimed in. “We are not ungrateful enough to forget what you have done for us all this years. You may not be our biological parents, but you are no less than one.”
Bella started crying shortly after. The relief was too much for her to keep contained. All the anxiety, tension came flooding out. Richard had to keep petting her head for a long time before she calmed down and went to sleep in her husband’s arms.
