Oreo wasn"t the only one who was left in shock.

Who would, in their right mind, think a couple of four-year-old kids were the ones behind MIB? Probably would have put it down as a rich-man kids game or that we were crazy."
"So we had to have time, to let our skills and what we do, be what convinces you," Kay said, "MIB is very important to us. To Kyle."
"We needed people we could trust, who would stand with us. To grow as we grow," Kyle said seriously, "And now, as I had feared, there is an unprecedented move against my position as the Heir."
"Taking advantage of Kyle"s leave of absence, they have started making a move," Kay said with a frown.
Kyle gave a slow smile, "A move that they"re going to regret soon. We"re going to uproot them."
"Make them as an example of why it is never good to go against tradition. Once the Heir has been chosen, that choice is immutable," Kay declared.
"And there is a reason why a Smith who can handle the Smith Anger is chosen," Kyle said, his smile becoming more devious, "They think it"s a weakness. They will soon find out that is not the case. Never poke a sleeping dragon."
"I. Will. Make. Them. Regret. This," Kyle hissed, emphasizing each word, his simmering anger leaking through.
The Core could literally feel like that whole room got enveloped in sub-zero temperature. Even though they were on another side of a screen, that could be felt. Oreo, who"s instinct for danger never waned despite not being in active service anymore, had his radar beeping red immediately.
Oreo"s loyalty towards the MIB boss, that had already been set-in-stone, became even firmer as admiration (to the point of wors.h.i.+p-ness) was added to it. He was one that appreciated kindness, reciprocated loyalty, and admired strength.
To think that a 17-year-old boy had all of these qualities - and more - made Oreo"s eyes sparkle and his heart full.
Kay put her hand on Kyle"s shoulder, saying, "Brother, your aura is leaking."
Kyle took a deep breath and sat back, "Apologies for that."
"Sir, with your permission, I"d like to tell my daughter your ident.i.ties," Oreo said humbly, "She"s one of MIB"s most loyal agents and has personal reasons for it. After all, you literally saved her life."
Kyle took it to mean that Oreo meant MIB gave him the opportunity to have the operation which saved her life. He had no idea Oreo already knew that he was the donor that provided the life-saving stem cells.
Kyle turned to look at Kay, who nodded.
"Fine," Kyle replied, "The Core will need to find your successors as well. I will take Nialla as your successor, Ralph, so please start training her for taking over your position one day. This goes for the rest of you as well. The decision is important, so take your time in choosing but no longer than two years."
Everyone nodded, their head still reeling from the revelation.
✿ End of Flashback ✿
Nialla stroked Kitty, who still seemed to be sulking, as she studied the back of Kyle who was engrossed in work.
When her father told her who the MIB bosses were, she had literally fallen down on the floor. Her knees had become so weak that she couldn"t stand up properly.
She had known that J had been the one that saved her life, but to think that it was Kyle, had been mind-boggling, to say the least. She had been overwhelmed by the thought of what sort of life the Smith Twins had truly led and her heart felt extreme sadness.
It was not normal at all.
She had spent her childhood in hospital, and that had been something that she had lamented about. The fact that she could not be out there and play, to have friends, to be normal.
When she recovered, she obtained the sort of life she had missed but it could never replace the years lost as a child.
That was nothing compared to what the Smith Twins had to face.
From such a young age, they were already building an army, so to speak, to battle the hidden dangers and enemies that were constantly hidden in the shadows.
Unlike her, they never got back their childhood.
For some reason, that hit her hard and she vowed that she would do all that she could to protect them. To protect Kyle.
"Come on, Kitty," Nialla said, "Your Dad needs to work. Don"t disturb him, okay?"
Nialla placed Kitty on the ground and sat down on the sofa. She took the latest report that had been given yesterday by Kristi to read.
Kitty jumped onto the coffee table, turned and faced Kyle. Lying down, she yawned and slept.

"I still don"t understand what Sir sees in that girl," complained Grace.
Kristi, her partner, said without looking at her as she flipped her book, "That"s not for you to think about. All we need to do is protect her."
Grace stared at the una.s.suming girl for the umpteenth time.
With her flowing hair in a ponytail, her slightly babyish face in a smile, she certainly gave off this really wholesome "girl-next-door" look coupled with the "can"t-hurt-fly" vibe.
"This is the most boring job EVER," Grace continued to complain.
Finally annoyed, Kristi slammed her book shut and whacked the back of Grace"s head, "Stop that, will you? It"s annoying. She"s a nice girl, anyway."
"But she"s not in any danger here," Grace said, "So why do we need to go through boring school again?"
Kristi pinched the gap between her eyebrows. If it wasn"t for the fact that Grace was really good in her job, she"d bury her alive.
"Just shut up," Kristi hissed.
