Just a snippet thing, because I wasn't certain how to end this properly.

M-21 tried to keep his frown off his face as he, Takeo and Tao re-entered the school grounds. They'd left to make arrangements on Frankenstein's island, but while they'd been gone…

Shit.

They'd left the school unprotected. Muzaka had just waltzed in. Anything could have happened - the school and the block around it could have been a smoking crater when they returned.

But it wasn't. That was the good thing. Frankenstein had only told them that Muzaka had to talk–

"Ajussi!"

The children hadn't been kidnapped either. Still calling him that, but it was far better than not hearing them at all.

"Yoo!" Tao greeted, waving and smiling.

"Why didn't you tell us you had a brother!" Shinwoo demanded, pointing at him, ignoring Tao.

What. "I don't." Maybe he had in his life before he was modified, but the children couldn't have found that out.

"But then who was this guy?" Ik-han flipped his phone around to show them a picture and-

What the fuck?

There was a guy standing a few feet away from Frankenstein's master on the school grounds. Who had long silver hair that was the same shade as M-21's own.

That had to be Muzaka.

They hadn't checked the cameras when they'd heard the warning sounds, racing towards the school again, not letting anything distract them. And…no-one had actually described what Muzaka looked like…

"He's an old friend of the family," Frankenstein said, walking up from behind the children.

M-21 hid a snort, quelling the thoughts that he knew Tao was thinking and guessing. There was no way the original owner of his heart was related to Muzaka.

"Ah," Yuna said, looking between them. "Is he the one you visit a lot?"

Frankenstein chuckled, shaking his head. "No; we haven't see him in a while."

That was an understatement.

"I see, I see," Shinwoo said, nodding. "We're gonna go to the PC Bang tonight, so we'll see you later!"

They watched the children go, Frankenstein's master following after them. It would at least be quiet for the next few hours, and the children would be safe. But him being by himself wasn't that comforting.

"I expect you have a lot of questions," Frankenstein said, and that was another understatement.

"Yup!" Tao was playing on his phone, and when M-21 peeked at the screen he could see the children and him in the centre of it. Good. They would know if he needed help then.

There was a small, weary smile on Frankenstein's lips. "I'll answer them to the best of my ability when we get home."

They nodded, and together, they headed towards home, making sure no-one was following them.

The kids thought Muzaka was M-21's younger brother, bwahah.
