his mother was crying. his father hugging her and telling her it would be alright
"He tried to t-t" his mother stuttered out weakly in between sobs
"But he didn't and he won't ever Mon I promise" Dads voice was filled with promise and power the kind of voice you have no choice but to believe and listen too, But Cyrus could hear the gently undertone filled with love and concern
Cyrus understood what had conspired between his boss and mother but he didn't want to
Why would anyone hurt his mother? his mother was a wonderful, beautiful and amazing person, a smart woman with a heart of gold, his idol, who would wanna hurt her?
Cyrus didn't understand, he didn't like not understanding
*End flashback*
Cyrus remembered going to work the next day and Dr Z calling him into his office
he remembered the door closing,
the hands,
he remembered bolting from the room before it escalated
he remembered banging into Magnus and the older boy contacting the police for him, a very odd first encounter,
and he remembered being told Dr Z had escaped the country
Cyrus shook his head as he entered the training Centre, that was all in past now
Cyrus was well aware of the stares (Most not innocent) He had muscles quite a lot but the type you can only see all of them when flexed or if he was wearing tight clothing or like right now in a training tank top. you could see a few normally
(DON'T JUDGE ME BUT ..... Muscled Cyrus😍😍😍😍)
He ignored them continuing to train
Cyrus didn't need training he was the best assassin they had at the age of 23 he'd killed at least 1989 people Directly
Indirectly well lets just say the number was over 9000
"DAD, DAD, DAD"
Cyrus turned to the entrance to see Cyler dashing towards him, the short blonde/brunette boy was holding a bunch of papers
Cyler was 14 and a ball of caffeinated anxiety who also happened to be Cyrus son.
They shared DNA but he wasn't biologically Cyrus's child
It was a long story a very very long story
"Cybot? what's wrong? what's happened?" Cyrus was worried the split dyed brunette blonde boy banged into him
Cyler ran a hand over his sweater vest and looked down all jittery and nervous
"Well?" Cyrus put his hands on his shoulders and leaned down to the 5.5 boy's height and peered into the grey eyes
"We've got a wee bit of an issue" Cyler said the slight irish accent slipping in
"Show me"
Cyler dashed through the halls leading Cyrus to the control room, the young boy pushed open the doors and dashed to his desk
"Remy discovered it when we where deleting all Dr Zazslow's records" He said as he weaseled through files, files of dead people, files of people Cyrus had taken out
....
Maybe Cyrus had lied and he felt all twisted and wrong inside after his missions but what could he do? it was his Job
Cyrus pushed the thought out of his brain and followed Cybot
"Mornin' Cyrus" Remy gave a sweet smile
"Morning Rem" Cyrus couldn't help but smile back
Remy was wearing a nice brown patterned sweater he short hair was in need of a dark red touch up as her black roots wear showing
Cyrus looked at the Instagram post Cybot had pulled up
"Remy follows this girl and saw it" The boy nervously twitched
Cyrus looked at the post and it seemed fairly ordinary
Some Influencer BraineighBrynleigh had posted a photo of herself at the park around an hour ago, around the same time Cyrus had been there
The post was a selfie of the Brynleigh holding a journal and smiling she was quite pretty, beautiful even
"What's wrong with this?" he question
"This" Cybot clicked across to the second photo and cyrus could feel the blood draining from his face
the original selfie had been zoomed in, and it was him
Cyrus Anders
he stood arm extended obviously he was shooting Dr Z you just couldn't see the gun
In some font at the top it read
'What's he doing? 👀'
The description read
Finding some nice inspo for a setting in 'Thorns and Roses' :)
Ayo Anyone know where I can find This cutie? but seriously what is he doing???
Cyrus felt his heart sink, 50 years
50 YEARS of The Anders Family Mafia being a secret and it was ruined all because of him
He was the worst assassin ever
The worst son ever
Oh God what where his parents going to think
He'd have to run away to Texas work as a bus boy in some diner and change his name to Stephen
Cyrus took some deep breaths and told himself to calm down it was not the time to spiral and be overdramatic
"What are we gonna do dad?"
"There's only one thing we can do Cybot"
"Which is ...?" Remy prompted
"We take out little miss BraineighBrynleigh"
WHOOHOO CHAPTER 1 DONEEEE. It was so not worth the wait but i hope you enjoy :)))
(Not me using my OWN story as Brynleigh's cause I couldn't think)

FanfictionCyrus stared into her eyes, the coffee eyes he'd grown to find solace in, laced with fear, anger, betrayal and another emotion he couldn't decipher. He felt his hands tighten on the gun he had pointed at her head, she was panting her breath leaving...
