From Zero To Hero Part Two: There And Back Again [COMPLETED]

Chapter 1: Oh, Brother

"Arlie here. Arlie Bennet. Assuming it has been six years since we came back, you may not remember me. This is my second journal here. I decided to stop writing three years ago after my brother and I had a huge fight. As of right now, we're now estranged. We don't see or talk to each other anymore even if we get a chance. I know it sounds silly but trust me, you wouldn't like Ben by your side either. So yeah, we're up to a bad start I guess," Arlie typed in his laptop.

"Bennet! You're up!" A man exclaimed.

Arlie shuts down his laptop, puts his cap on and picks up his apron.

"Welcome, ma'am. What can I get you?" Arlie readies a plastic cup.

"I'll have a Choco Mocha Frappe," The lady says.

"On its way, ma'am," Arlie starts making the frappe.

"Here you go, ma'am. That would be $5.50," Arlie hands the drink to the lady.

"Bennet, come here!" Arlie's boss calls him.

"Yes, sir?" Arlie walks toward him.

"Wait. Are you okay?" His boss asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine," Arlie smiles.

"You're pale, Bennet," The boss said.

"Really? I don't feel a thing," Arlie looks at his skin.

All of a sudden, Arlie collapses, much to his boss' horror. 

"Arlie, find your brother," The man in Arlie's vision ordered him.

Arlie wakes up in the hospital, gasping.

"Sir. Breath. Take a deep breath," The nurse rushes to Arlie's aid.

"I...I need to find him," Arlie gets down from the bed.

"Sir, wait. Sir, please," The nurse begged.

"Sorry," Arlie takes off the IV from his arm.

"Come down," The nurse tries to sedate Arlie.

Arlie bites the nurse's arm and escapes the hospital. Now wanted by the police, Arlie lays low in the storage of the cafe he works in during that night.

"What the hell just happened?" Arlie sighs.

Arlie comes out quickly to get paper from his boss' desk.

"Now I need to find my annoying brother," Arlie mutters as he writes down something.

"Ha! Found you," Arlie exclaims as he searches for his brother in his laptop.

Arlie ventures into the night, going to his brother's mansion.

"This is great," Ben sits on his couch with wine in his hand.

Unbeknownst to Ben, Arlie sneaks into his mansion through a window in the second floor.

"Back in here after three years," Arlie sighs.

"Feels like decades, huh?" Ben says behind Arlie's back.

"Hello, Benjamin," Arlie smiles.

"What do you want?" Ben sits down.

"I know it's been three years since we talked to each other," Arlie says.

"But I need you," Arlie added.

"Need me?" Ben is surprised.

"Yeah. I need your help," Arlie stated.

"And why would I help you?" Ben asks.

"Because we're brothers. We have each other's backs," Arlie grins.

"Yeah, right," Ben drinks.

"Please," Arlie begs.

"It's been three years and this how you greet me," Ben replies.

"Ben, please. I'm sorry," Arlie apologizes.

"Wow. Did you just apologize?" Ben chuckles.

"Oh, brother," Ben pats Arlie's back.

"Even if you hate me, you'll always need me," Ben winks.

"Wait," Arlie says.

"I had a vision," Arlie tells his brother.

"And in that vision, I saw a man telling me to find you," Arlie added.

"You know apologizing then lying won't get me to your side, right?" Ben noted.

"I'm not lying and my apology was sincere," Arlie remarked.

"Fine. Since I'm almost getting drunk, I'll just listen to you," Ben sat down.

"Okay, thanks," Arlie replies.

"You say that the man in your vision told you to find me," Ben recounts.

"Yes. And I've had migraines in random times. Really painful ones," Arlie says.

"So you think the migraines and this vision has a connection to each other?" Ben asks.

"Yes. And I hope they have a connection," Arlie acknowledges. 

"Now that you've found me. Do you think you'll have another vision?" Ben questions.

"I don't know. It just started when I was in the hospital," Arlie stated.

"Woke up in the hospital?" Ben is surprised.

"Yeah. I collapsed while I was working. Migraines," Arlie explains.

"You sure you're okay?" Ben becomes worried.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I promise," Arlie smiles.

"Since I've now made up my mind...I'll help you," Ben decides to help Arlie.

"You're my baby brother. I can't abandon you even if I hate you," Ben reconciles with Arlie.

While reconciling with his brother, another migraine hits Arlie causing him to see a vision, where the man tells him something that shocks Arlie.

"Arlie, you okay?" Ben panics.

"Yeah. Just another migraine," Arlie touches his head.

"What's the vision about now?" Ben asks.

"The man says we need to time travel again," Arlie straight up says.

"Time travel...again?" Ben isn't sure.

"Yeah. Again," Arlie looks at Ben, frightened.
