Clive was drinking wine, when his phone rang. He slowly rose from his chair, and walked to the phone. "...This is Clive." He answered.

Relief washed over Elise upon hearing Clive's voice.
She quickly answered, "It is I, Elise. I have a question to ask you.”

Clive smiled when he heard it was Elise, "Ohh.. Hello Elise!" He said, sitting back down. "What can I do for you...?" He asked.

"Well, you know, I lost the child. And you know, life has been miserable. I am over here in Hong-Kong now, taking care of a child that I found abandoned just after my miscarriage."
She had some things to get off of her chest. "I cannot find the child's parents... And Wulong seems to be keeping me at arm's length about this whole thing. I was secretly hoping to adopt this child."

Clive was a little surprised to hear what had been going on, "...Well... Elise, this is a choice I don't think I can make for you... Nor Fulong for that matter..." He paused. "If you found the child abandoned, and you wish to take care of the child... I don't see the harm..." He sighed, "Let me ask you this... Do you feel you are ready for this? Do you feel a motherly connection to this child, and feel that you can raise him? Or are you just looking to fill the void of the loss you just experienced?" He asked. He didn't want to come off as cold, but she needed to know that she wanted to raise this child, not replace her lost children.

"I know..." Elise said. "He is kind enough to let me stay with him as long as I need to in order to help me heal. And he thinks that there is something supernatural about this child. A test of sorts..." Her voice trailed off.
"But... If I do this, it will have to be alone. I care about Felix! I want to raise him... I feel connected to him... But at the same time... It's all wishful thinking. I probably am just trying to fill a void that alcohol can't fix. I just want to be loved! My body just decided that it didn't want to deal with my pregnancy. I just feel frustrated that I even feel this sad when I already knew that I was going to miscarry!"

Clive took a sip of his drink. "Well, Elise... It seems you already know the answer to your question..." He paused. "You say Wulong believes there is something supernatural about the child..?" He asked. "...I have limited experience with the Archers of Sirius, but... my wife has told me a few stories of her experiences before her death." He laughed, "I have done blood work on Antonio, and Sorin, as any curious scientist would do... The DNA of those supernaturally inclined is hard to ignore..."
"Perhaps if you do run tests on the child, we could compare to my findings, and possibly learn more about the child's origins. It's a longshot, though..."

"Yes. He keeps mentioning that this is no coincidence. He says that someone of higher power did this. This child's DNA is getting analyzed. As far as I know, this child is not from Hong-Kong nor is he reported missing."
"I have done blood work on Antonio, and Sorin, as any curious scientist would do... The DNA of those supernaturally inclined is hard to ignore..."
"Yes, Wulong has a similar genetic makeup to the archers. His brother and his father, too. I know exactly what you mean."
"Perhaps if you do run tests on the child, we could compare to my findings, and possibly learn more about the child's origins. It's a longshot, though..."
"I just need to wait for the results. Should be in soon. Also I need Wulong to escort me to the lab. But he is working."

Clive furrowed his brow, "...Does he..?" He quickly pulled out his notebook, jotting down what little Elise told him. "Of course. "When you find out the results, let me know. I will be here. We will do this together..." He said, with a smile.

"Yes. It was a surprise. But his brother mentioned that they were once a proud clan of warriors and exorcists until the Chinese Revolution happened. Then World War II and the Cultural Revolution killed off nearly every one else. He has a distant relative that he is trying to save from herself and her evil aunt."
"When you find out the results, let me know. I will be here. We will do this together..."
"Thanks. I will let you know when the results come in."

"I'll speak with you soon, Elise..." He said, smiling. Setting the phone down, he walked to the back of his home. He picked up a labcoat, as He walked to a bookshelf, and moved two books to reveal a security pinpad. He punched in the numbers, and the bookshelf pushed forward. Clive opened it like a door, and stepped inside the room. It was a cold lab, and dry. He put the labcoat on, along with a pair of gloves and a mask. He then sat down, and started analyzing DNA. "....What are you..?" He asked to himself, comparing what was on the screen to other results. The other's had the names 'Sorin', 'Antonio', and 'Giorgia'. The DNA resembled Giorgia's the most, but was strongest in it's blueish aura.
"Hmm..." As he worked, he jotted down a name, and taped it to the vial. He placed it next to the other's. On it, it had the name, 'Claudio Serafino'.

Elise sent Clive a file on the genetic report on the child. She emphasizes that the child had Mediterranean DNA and had a handful of mutations. She also hands Clive the DNA reading of the mother who is Irish with some Wales and Scandinavian DNA. She even sent Clive Lei's DNA structure for reference as she pointed out he had a somewhat similar genetic makeup with the child, despite the two not being related at all.
"You were right. There is something supernatural about this. I think his mother died giving birth, and the father is somewhat ethereal. He might be connected to the Archers."

Clive received Elise's findings to see what he could add to it. He looked at the findings, and contemplated what to do. Since the child had Mediterranean DNA, he decided it best to cross reference with his findings on his own son, Antonio's. Clive narrowed his eyes, and then leaned back into his chair in astonishment. "....What...?" Clive then quickly grabbed Sorin's DNA, and compared his with that of the child's...
Sorin and this Felix were full blooded brothers....
Clive was very confused. Anna was only four months pregnant, and as far as he knew, not even in Hong Kong. This was impossible. He quickly called Elise...

Elise quickly picked up her phone. Lei was taking care of the baby, rocking him as he feed him Elise's milk in a bottle.
"Hello. So... Did you find anything interesting?"

Clive was silent at first, "...Did you accidentally send me Daniel's DNA instead of Felix's...?" He asked, "Because I compared the results you sent me to Sorin's, and it shows that they are full blooded brothers..." He said, "It's impossible for that child to be Anna's... She's not even close to being able to give birth yet..." He said, still studying the comparisons.
