16 Years Ago[/b]
[i]Everything was perfect. The biggest wedding hall available within the city was rented, the flowers were all arranged by somebody with enough OCD to make it look flawless, and the aisle's carpet was devoid of any souls because it was his time to walk down. The music played on, as he straightened his black tie and took a deep breath.
"Inhale, exhale, repeat. It'll be fine."
The voice was inside JT's head, which at the time carried no hat. He looked down at the one prosthetic limb he had at the time and chuckled, because if a cripple could find love, anyone could. He started to step down the long aisle with the looks of admiration from his closest friends, all dressed up for the occasion. Hell Derek was the priest, even though he wasn't straight he was allowed to perform the ceremony.
JT approached his wife and smiled, as the veil over her face was shortly parted to reveal a smile, the smile, the one which brought JT to his robotic knees in fits of tears whenever he thought of her, in any memory but this. The vows were a flurry of words spoken by all three parties in the most passionate tone he could muster, but the only two words that mattered was "I do," followed by him being able to finally plant his ring upon the finger of his love and vice versa.
And when the pastor let the two finally kiss, John made haste and never once hesitated, as he pulled his wife into an embrace. Not one of lust or want, but simply one crafted from the deepest depths of a heart that once cared.
She was gone now, but the memory still remains. [/i]

Present Day[/b]
[i]"...And that was the day of my wedding, arguably the best day I've spent with Lena." [/i]

-
[i]Charlotte slaps JT.[/i] "You threaten my little brother again and I'll make sure you never see sunlight again."
-
[i]"Look, do you want my help or not Charlotte? Because I don't have to stay and help you find a way out of this." [/i]
-
"My brother is trying to keep us safe from WM Corp. I think his reason for not helping makes sense, JT. I want your help, but killing Charlie won't accomplish anything."
-
[i]"Never said I'd kill. I said I'd do shit to -blam!- him up." [/i]
-
"You can talk to him, but hurting him is unacceptable...if you could hurt him." [i]Charlotte chuckles.[/i]
-
[i]"Does he have any friends or lovers?" [/i]
-
"Iso, Chuck, and me. Why?"
-
[i]"Shit... Is he the incestous one?" [/i]
-
"Incest...." [i]Charlotte laughs nervously.[/i] "N-No, he has no romantic attachments."
-
[i]"Damn, I had an idea. We'd smash in front of him, he'd get jealous and cucked, you'd say that he could never smash again until he helps." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte's eyes go wide.[/i] "I'm in love with a crazy man...."
-
[i]"Charlotte I've spent sixteen years planning military operations, almost all of them successful. Do you really think I'm a man without a good plan?" [/i]
-
"Your plan was to f*ck in front of my brother...can we still do that? Maybe he'd join in...." [i]Charlotte seems to start daydreaming.[/i]
-
[i]"He can't join. We can, he can't. Just as long as he's the incestous brother and gets jealous." [/i]
-
"I wish he was into incest...." [i]Charlotte shakes her head with a blush.[/i] "I-I mean, I'd find that disgusting!"
-
[i]"I don't kink shame."[/i]
-
[i]Charlotte laughs and smiles.[/i] "Thank you, I know it's wrong, but for some reason....I have a huge brother complex."
-
[i]"No worries amiga. So you want to hunt him now or chill for a bit?" [/i]
-
"Hunt? I could just ask him to teleport here."
-
[i]"Into the VR sim?" [/i]
-
"You want to do it in the VR room? Sure."
-
[i]"Alright, call him up." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte shrugs and Charlie appears next to her with a bright flash of light.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "What's so important? You know I'm busy." [i]Charlie's face is empty of signs of emotion.[/i]
-
[i]"Charlie, my man, I have a proposition for you." Thankfully, JT had the upper hand in simulations. He had the technical expertise to make it so leaving was physically impossible, and he ensured Charlie wouldn't be pulling out until they were done. [/i]
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "Mr. JT, if you wish to trap me I suggest against it. Now, what do you need? I'm busy."
