"Lily…" Alex pops his head from the door frame, but he didn't see her at all inside her room.
"Lily?" He calls her name again and starts wandering around her bedroom. Her bedroom is spacious, and she had her own private library inside her room and she even had private stardome for her to see the stars at night, equipt with a telescope.
Whoever her real mother is, she surely thinks this thoroughly and knows what exactly they are. He likes to spend time in her room, study and playing, well, mostly planning and inventing.
Lily does the program and he creates the device. That's how they use the word 'play' . When he wants to climb up the stairs to her stardome, suddenly Lily opens the bathroom door.
"Al...I think I had a stomach ache." She said while hugging her stomach with her hand. Her face sweating a lot.
"Huh? Did you eat something bad?" Alex immediately went to her and help her to sit down on the soft pink couch.
She shakes her head. "No..I.." She stops her word and runs back to the bathroom. Slamming the door and leave Alex dumbfounded in the living area inside her room.
"Are you okay in there? Need me to inform the housekeeper?" No answer from her and Alex still standing outside of the bathroom.
A few minutes later, he heard a flush sound and the door is opened by Lily. She looks like she loses her energy to even speak up.
"I.." She shakes her head and Alex knows that she doesn't like the smell in the hospital or even the clinic.
When they're still a baby, his mother often brings Alex to his routine check-up and all along the time they were in the hospital, Lily will throw her tantrum and crying like it was the end of the world.
Lucky that his mother was very patience to handle her and always calming her even though it never worked. And yet, never once his mother scolds her for making a scene. She's not even his mother's daughter, and yet, his mother really had a high tolerance to handle her. He salutes his mother for that.
"I know..let's go and find a medicine then.." Alex helps her again and she still shakes her head.
"What if..I wanna.." She blushed. How does she want to say that word in front of him?
"Defecate? Just wear a diaper. And you can change it back after you take the medicine." Alex swiftly said and because of that, he earned a smack on his head.
"Ow!" He glared at her while rubbing his head a little.
Sighing, Lily slowly stand up and went to the bathroom again. "Wait there." And Alex waits patiently for a few minutes.
They went to the opposite building of the house, they once saw a maid bring out a medicine stock from that building and assume it might be where they put their medicine supply.
Since she doesn't want to go to the in-house clinic, she decides to sneak inside the building and find the medicine herself. Of course, with the help of Alex to break in into the room without being noticed.
That's how useful Alex to her, always make a way for her to do her 'dark' thing. Well, it just finding a medicine anyway. Just after they successfully break-in into the 'store' , their eyes blink in surprise.
"Whoa…I never thought that this is not a store." Alex was amazed by what he saw. He looks around the room which he assumes is a lab or more like a testing room.
All equipment and apparatus are complete inside this room. There's also a set of high-end supercomputer and huge screen panels attach to the wall. Everything inside the room is like a secret underground lab.
"Who owned this place?" Lily murmur and roam around the room while searching for the medicine stock.
When her eyes caught a bookshelf with a lot of thick books that she never saw before, her interest hike up. She went to the bookshelf and read the titles of the book, each of them is about the research of that someone who owns this room.
Her finger stops at the book with the title of 'X-Gen' . She tilts her head and took out the book from the shelf, she read at first two pages and she starts shivering a little.
"Oh my god.." She immediately closes the book while her heart couldn't stop beating like crazy inside. Her eyes then saw another book with the title 'K.'
Again, she squints her eyes and when she pulls the book, it did not move, instead, a rumbling sound suddenly makes her jump a bit and Alex turns his head to her.
"What did you do?" He asked when he saw a secret passage suddenly open in between the screen panel.
Lily gulp and she pointed her finger on the book. "I just pull this book." She said and Alex tilts his head. "Cliche." He then averts his eyes back to the passageway.
"Wanna explore more?" He asked and Lily walk ahead of him, entering the secret base. It's quite dark and only had a fire lit up at both sides of the passageway. It somehow looks like a passageway from the Mr. Incredible movie.
At the end of the passage, they both could see a bright light and the moment they enter the room, again, they were surprised to see that it was all white and only had a screen panel surrounding them and a desk with a computer at the center of the room.
A second after they enter the room, suddenly the passageway was closed and the screen lit up. "Welcome, milady." A familiar voice greets Lily and she chuckles for a moment.
"Kiera? Is that you?" Lily asked and the screen shows up a girl's face. Of course, its unknown 3D face.
"Yes, milady. This is my center, or may I say..my brain?" She replies and she scans on Alex's face beside Lily.
"Is that Master Alex? From Wayne's bloodline?" She took damn right guessing and Alex nods his head.
"So, you're..uh, Kiera..nice to meet you," Alex said.
Smiling, Kiera says, "Likewise, sir."
"Uh, so Kiera, do you mind telling me, who made you? If this is your brain, then someone must be creating you in the first place right? Before you were assigned to me?" Lily starts questioning her.
"Yes, milady. My first owner is.." She stops for a moment and looks at the desk and the computer, "Would you mind look at the computer screen, milady?"
Lily avert her eyes to the desk and abruptly nod her head and sit on the chair before she looks at the computer screen. The moment the computer is lit up, there is a picture of a woman and two-man who she assumes is a twin brother.
"The three of them are my inventor. The lady at the center is my programmer, your mother. Prof. Lisa."
"Then the two men beside her?" Lily asked.
"That's Wayne's brother. They were my mechanical doctor. My first version is just a simple robot before they upgrading me into what I am now." Kiera explaining it to her.
Lily and Alex looked at each other. "So, we kinda related anyway?" and Alex shrugged his shoulder. He never sees those two men anyway.
"In a relationship, yes..your mother was very fond of Harry Wayne."
Looking back at the giant screen in front of her, Lily said. "Since my mother was your programmer, did she ever leave a record of her life?"
Kiera silent for a moment. "She did. But it was locked."
"Lock? Can't you break-in?"
"I did not have any access to it. Only that man has it. He held the master key that your mother creates just for him."
Lily scrunches her eyebrow. "That man? Who?"
Smiling, Kiera said. "Your father just return home. I think you should go now before he caught you here. And milady.."
Lily gets down from the chair and looks at her, waiting for her next word.
"The medicine you're looking for is on the second shelf from the right. There's a medicine stock there."
Smiling, Lily nods her head. "Thank you and Kiera..don't keep watching me."
"I will try not to, milady. But, I was-"
"Yeah yeah..you were designed that way, aren't you?" Lily sighs and holds Alex's hand.
"Open the passageway, Kiera." Just after she said that the passage they entered before opened again and both of them run back to the lab room.
Take the medicine and return back to their bedroom without being caught by anyone.
