    Summary

    “Y’know, Six, if I had known you had such good genes I would have tracked you down earlier.”

    Six forced his face and voice to stay neutral. “What?”

    “I’m not personally escorting them, but my people informed me of a…” Hansen pauses, seemingly looking for information. Six’s gut is always right, and there was a rock settling in the pit of his stomach. “Colt Seavers and Ryland Grace. Who knew Sierra had family?” A cold laugh echoed through the phone. “I’ll see you soon, Six. Family reunion! How exciting.”

    The line went dead. Six was still, except for his right hand slowly crushing the phone held to his ear. He would need to get rid of it anyway.

    This stupid fucking USB. He wanted to burn it.

    Glass crunched in his fist, the phone irreparable. God, he was going to fucking murder Lloyd Hansen.

    He brought the phone down, staring at it. The screen had faded to darkness.

    or

    The Gray Man (2022) but if Ryland and Colt, who were under the assumption that their older brother was dead, were kidnapped as leverage.

    Summary

    “Sad,” Grace agrees, fiddling with the microscope, mostly just to keep his hands busy. “But I have a–”

    He stops, hands frozen in place on the cold, intricate metal.

    “I, uhm…” He tries again. His voice gives out, fading in a whisper.

    It's been a while since he's last done this. He used to catch himself on it all the time, the words spilling out before he had the chance to think. For a scientist, his heart always seemed to outrun his brain.

    “I… Had a brother,” he managed, finally. There’s already something hot and wet gathering behind his eyes, and he quickly tries to blink it away. He was never really good at that. “His name was Colt. Gee, sorry. Bit of a rough topic, Rock.”

    Summary

    They learn of what happened in the same way: secondhand, delayed - the event already in the past by the time it reached them.

    Or - Grace and Colt both learn of what happened to the other through news broadcasts, too far away to do anything about it.
