"You've got a point. Let's visit them before we go back," Asher said and began to lead Leo to the cemetery. They had to take a few buses, but they eventually arrived. For a moment, he wondered if there was anyone who could communicate with the dead. It would be nice to talk to his adoptive parents again. Maybe he could even talk to his biological parents as well.

Leo stood before their parents grave in silence for a few moments. "Do you think they can hear us?" he asked softly, feeling a little silly for talking to a stone slab in the ground. "I wish I knew who did this to them....I would hunt him down and burn him alive." he said through gritted teeth.

Asher raised an eyebrow at Leo's violent intentions, but said nothing. "I'm sure they can hear us somehow," he said. Was it his imagination or did he hear a loving whisper? It was probably the influence of the cemetery that he wished the ghosts of their parents were there to comfort them.
After scanning the area, he noticed a very familiar boy kneeling at a couple of gravestones. "Raki?" He would go over to him immediately, but he couldn't leave Leo here. Besides, it was probably best that the boy didn't know they were there.

Leo looked back at his brother at the mention of Raki. "Is he here?" he asked softly but he didn't hear anybody around. If Raki was here then he was being very quiet. "I wonder what he's doing here of all places?"

Asher's curiosity soon got the best of him. "I'm going to find out," he said, approaching Raki. There were a couple of dark spots on the stone and he noticed that they were tears. The headstones read 'Gerald Damican' and 'Alice Damican,' the parents he barely remembered. They had been buried here? All this time? And he never knew?Raki suddenly noticed Asher staring at the graves of their parents and couldn't help latching onto him for emotional support. "Big Brother...!" He probably looked like a child now, but it did not matter to him. Wasn't it only right to mourn the family he never knew? Mourn a life they never had?

Leo listened to his brother's footsteps fade in the distance and gave a soft sigh at the sad sounds he heard. He followed the sounds and wondered why Raki was so sad, but he didn't want to ruin the moment between the two of them. Leo stood by and let Raki be comforted by his only blood brother.

Asher held Raki close and patiently waited for his sobs to die down. His eyes locked on the gravestones and he wondered if they could see them right now. Perhaps his parents are confused about Leo's presence? Or maybe they already saw him and knew who he was before. This wasn't the first time they visited this cemetery, after all.
Turning his head to look at Leo, Asher would have gestured to him if he could see. "Leo, come here. There are... some people I want you to meet," he said, almost struggling to keep his voice straight. His own heart grew heavy and he missed his parents even more than he had previously. He could only be thankful that Raki's grave wasn't here, and that his brother was alive and well in his arms.

Leo approached Asher. Judging from the sadness in the air he had guessed they were at Asher's parents gravestone, why else would Raki be in this cemetery? He gave a soft sigh and took a moment of silence with the other two boys. He placed his hand on Asher's shoulder to comfort him. "At least they are at peace now." he said softly.

Well, it seems Leo already knew about the gravestones, Asher thought as he sighed. "I know, but it stinks that I forgot about them," he said and he looked back at the graves. There were so many things he wanted to tell his parents, but he would probably end up just talking to rocks. Besides, perhaps they already knew what he was going to tell them. If they had been watching from wherever they were. "I wonder if they've met Mom and Dad yet." It would be nice for his biological parents to know who had been taking care of their long-lost son, he figured.

Leo couldn't help but to wonder the same. "I don't think you forgot them. Nobody just forgets about their biological parents so easily." He hoped he was helping at least a little. "Maybe tomorrow we'll get both of our parents some flowers, so they know we didn't forget them."

"That sounds like a good idea," Asher said. Realizing that the sobs had quieted down, he found that Raki had fallen asleep. Just like a child, he thought. He then stood, carrying his unconscious brother. "Well, it's probably best that we get going now." His mind returned to the question of whether or not there was someone who could contact the dead. Or maybe the dead can watch over their loved ones? It was probably best to leave the question.

Leo nodded and grabbed hold of Asher's arm and followed his brother out of the cemetery. "Yes, lets go home. I'm sure Raki would love to sleep in his own bed." he said softly, continuing to follow Asher back to Legion. Once he was there Leo let go of Asher's arm to find his own way around the house, knowing that was going to be the only way he was going to learn his way around quicker. He managed to find the bunker alright, which he had guessed he was in considering the significant temperature change. "Sasha! Are you down here?!" Leo lightly hit his forehead with his palm as he remembered Sasha was deaf. "Good going Leo..." he mumbled as he tried to find her room but he wasn't sure which door it was.

Sasha had been in the midst of setting up the final touches of the room and trying to distract herself when Sam notified her that Leo was looking for her. Leaving the rest to her brother, she left the room to find her friend. "Welcome back, Leo!" she greeted when she found him. "What do you need?" They were probably going to have another one of those talks again, which she very much enjoyed, but she was a bit troubled about something at the moment.

Leo smiled at the sound of his friend's voice. "Oh, nothing important. Me and Ash just got back and I wanted to see how you were doing with your room! Ash is probably bringing Raki to his room, I think he fell asleep." Leo said softly, taking Sasha's arm so she could guide him if she needed to. "How has your day been?"

"Good, for the most part. I'm just a bit worried about Chase and Cherry, though," Sasha said as she led Leo back to her room. "They haven't really been their usual selves lately. Their seriousness is actually sort of scary." She had always known the twins to be cheerful and hyperactive, but they seemed to have mellowed down ever since everything went crazy. "Maybe it's the result of trauma...?"
