preparation
Jackson and Quentin sat at the kitchen table waiting for the father to get one there mother was leaning against the counter glaring at the two it had been like this sense they got home after thirty more minutes of waiting there father opened the front door and walked to the kitchen he stood behind the two. They knew he was there they could feel the rage in the are but the it vanished and they heard him speak.
"I'm disappointed in you two" said there father in a calm voice
he then put his hand on the shoulders they knew what was coming and the braced themselves
"in a month you two would have been promoted but now your back at the bottom" said there father as his grip tightened
"now you two are going to listen to me very carefully" said there father as his grip tightened more
"you two are going to eat dinner then your packing for the drop ship" said there father
after saying that he squeezed there shoulders as tight as possible and slammed the two together
"now eat" said there father as he let go and walked around then
the two stayed quite knowing one word would make it worse they saw there father and his arms his steel arms

-the next day-
The two walked out of there rooms still silent from the night before there shoulders bruised black.
"finally up" said there mother from the end of the hallway
the two stayed silent not knowing what to say
"you know you two can talk now" said there mother
"sorry mom" the two said in unison
"don't apologize it could have happened to anyone" said there mother as she walked to the kitchen
the two followed her and as they entered the kitchen they saw there father looking over something
"sorry about the shoulders you two these arms have been acting up recently" said there father
"it's ok dad" said quentin as he sat his bag down
"I highly doubt that quentin" said there father as he looked at them
"dad trust us it's fine" said Jackson as he sat down at the table
quintin sat down next to his brother and looked at the tablet on the table
"new project" asked quentin
"it's a blueprint I have to run past the cheif" said there father
"what's it for" asked Jackson as he poured a cup of coffee
"is for pressure relief valves and sensors for the oxygen" said there father as he took the cup of coffee Jackson poured
Jackson and Quentin smiled lightly knowing g that them leaving would do the station more good then harm
"you two better eat while you can this is the last home-cooked meal you'll have for months" said there mother as she walked in holding two plates
it became quite as the two ate not a word was said there mother couldn't hold back the tears anymore and she left the room there father left soon after following there mother
"mom actually cried" said Jackson as he finished eating
"she only cries when she thinks we're gonna die" said quentin in a somber tone
"and dad gonna comfort her like he always does" said Jackson while looking at his plate
"he's gonna go cry with her" said quentin while looking at his brother
"why dad never cries" asked Jackson with a puzzled look
"because bigshots like us rarelycome back" said quintin as he got up and grabbed his bag
