I never really thought much about my family until recently. Sure, I knew who my parents were and that they used to be in the Kids Next Door, but it wasn't until I started digging deeper into our family history that I realized just how extensive and complicated it all was.
My father, Monty Uno, or Numbuh 0 as he's known in KND circles, was the Seventh Age KND Founder. He was a legend among operatives and always seemed larger than life to me. And then there's my mother, Mrs. Uno (formerly Numbuh 999), the first female member of the seventh age of KND. She may not have been as well-known as my dad, but she definitely made her mark on the organization.
In a simulation of what could have been my future life within the Kids Next Door universe, I found out about Lizzie Devine - my supposed future wife - and Shirley Uno/Numbuh 1,600 - our son together. It was strange seeing this alternate reality play out before me; it made me wonder what could have been if things had turned out differently.
And then there's Operation: F.U.T.U.R.E., where we discovered that one of our descendants would eventually become The Leader of Boys Next Door. It's crazy to think about how our actions now could affect generations down the line.
My grandfather is simply known as Grandfather within KND circles - he has quite a reputation for being both wise and mischievous at times. My uncle Benedict Uno (or Father) is someone I look up to despite his strict demeanor; he always pushes us operatives to do better and be better.
Numbuh 10 & Delightful Children From Down The Lane are like cousins to me since we grew up together under similar circumstances in Sector Z. One Of The Annoyingly Cute Triplets serves as our great-grandmother while their mother is considered an ancestor by bloodline alone. It’s fascinating yet overwhelming when you realize just how interconnected everyone truly is within this secret world we call home.
Family isn't just about blood relations; it’s also about those who stand by your side no matter what happens or where life takes you, and for every operative who puts on their uniform each day ready to fight against tyranny wherever it rears its ugly head, there will always be bonds stronger than steel holding us together through thick or thin alike.
Remembering these ties that bind us makes everything worth fighting for because at end day, we're not just individual agents taking orders from higher-ups; we’re part something greater ourselves...something called Codename: Kids Next Door!
