(YOU KILLED SIRENA?! WHY?! You know I can't even bear the thought in my mind.)
Syren cocks his head to the side.
"you that happy to see me? It's been like a week since I saw you, but I know it can't have been nthat long for you"
Syren gestures to his wrist, where a watch sits, it's Seiko face unmoving.
"somehow I traveled through time and broke my watch. See?" Holds it up to echo's face "it says I traveled two years. It broke on the way back. I guess clocks can't stand the test of time" he laughs at his lame joke
Then he freezes. "wait... She's dead?!" his voice jumps up an octave. "you let my little sister die? How could you? I spent six years saving her, and you couldn't do it for one week? What happened? I don't.. I can't..." he sits down, tears in his eyes. Even though he never showed it, he truly did love his sister. Syren gets a flashback to when he was a child, no more than four. He's sitting in a large, on the lap of a young woman. The woman is holding a baby, a pink blanket wrapped around it, showing that the baby was a girl. The woman had dark black hair and a pretty face, and eyes as blue as the sea of Biscay. "Syren, this is your new sister, Sirena. What do you think?"
"I like her, but why does she sleep so much?" the little boy asks.
"because she is a baby silly goose. Babies do sleep a lot."
"I think I love her momma. Can I hold her?"
The flashback changes to a new scene. It's dark, but the faint outline of brick can be seen on the wall behind Syren. He's wearing a red fur lined hoodie, with faded symbols on the front. He has one hand out, holding a frightened girl back.
"you touch my sister again and I swear, I'll send you to hell myself."
"oh look, the little freak thinks he can warp us to hell. For a little ten year old sh**, you sure talk bi-"
Suddenly there is red across the ground. The teen is holding his chest, one sleeve of his shirt ripped and bloodied, without an arm to fill it. The teen is screaming, his two companions are shown running away into the night.
"I may not be able to warp full people, but I know I can warp partials. You touch my baby sister again, and it will be your head."
The scene changes again to a white room. The steady sound of a heart monitor can be heard, along with the idle chatter of nurses. Syren is shown again in a leather jacket, his hair combed messily and his eyes dark from lack of sleep. Next to Him is a hospital bed, it's occupant a dark haired woman with blue eyes. Even though she was pale and looked near dead, she still retained that beauty that was so alluring.
"mother, you don't have to worry. Everything will be just fine"
"Syren... You'll look after your sister, won't you? -coughs- you're all she has now. And she, you."
The woman's voice is soft and raspy. It's difficult to hear and brings tears to Syren's eyes. He isn't more than 16, yet he looks like he's aged a decade in an hour.
"of course, but this is unnecessary. You'll be here to help me. We'll both have you..."
"no... My time is up. I'm living on... On borrowed... Time. Tell her that I love her. And.."
"yes? And what?"
"I... Love... You..." the heart monitor flat lines. The flashback ends with the yelling of a frightened boy to the nurses in the hall
Syren looks up at Echo, his eyes determined. "if there is a way to save her, you damn well better tell me. I'll pay the price, no matter how steep." there are tears in his eyes, yet his voice is calm.
