You know, it was kind of funny, that somehow, in their usual jog around the island, neither Prompto nor Gladio nor Ignis noticed anything quite amiss that morning; maybe that was just a testament to how ridiculously early Gladio got them all started. Then there was a small training session at the gym, and that was probably when it happened, so when they parted ways and Prompto headed back to his place to get started on a nice breakfast for Liz to wake up to, he found himself coming up on the Photo Hut with two unfamiliar teenagers loitering outside the door and kind of giving each other the stink eye.
Well, maybe not unfamiliar, because there were definitely a few things about them that looked undeniably familiar, and...
"Oh, shit," he muttered to himself in realization, because last night was prom, and he knew what usually happened after prom, and there was no denying a very strong genetic line in both of these kids, although they were much older than what he was used to getting. Were they older because he was older now? He shook his head and realized he'd worry about that later, and just as he was about to say something, they both started when they saw him approaching and said, at the same time, "There you are, Dad."
Stopped, turned to their heads to glare at each other, and then started talking at once, but different things this time.
"This is clearly one of those portal things, Dad, but she claims to not know anything about it," the boy was saying, which bounced over the top of the girl saying, "What is this? Is this one of your clone things? We destroyed Niflheim, how could there still be clones?"
Clone definitely stuck out in the babble and Prompto took a deep breath and darted his eyes toward the boy who did look remarkably like him, but not enough, and his eyes were, thankfully, different, and so he let out a slow breath and shook his head, holding up his hands. "Listen," he said, "this is a whole thing and I'll explain it to you guys in a moment, but if you're both my kids, I know you guys aren't going to want to do this on an empty stomach, so how about you both come on upstairs, I'll get some breakfast started, and we'll figure out who's who. Just....be quiet, okay? I don't need you two waking up Liz or the baby."
Good luck with that, Prompto. Even that, as you went to go unlock the door to go inside, set them off again. The boy with a groan of "Ugh, baby? Which one? I didn't end up with baby Noctra, did I?" and the girl just giving a distressed, "Who's Liz? Where is this place? Oh, man, I knew I shoulda just stuck with Fort and Avis, but noooo, I had to follow Clone Boy over here."
"Not a clone!"
"You look like a clone!"
Yeah, Prompto was going to need a miracle if he hoped to get this sorted out before Liz woke up.
[[ for the wifey, of course! ]]
