AMLAN SATAN: We may be twins, brother...but we're night-and-day now.

AJAY SATAN: Look, I'm at the Summer Games, with my Turkish wrestling consultancy.
AMLAN SATAN: Turks didn't become Earth-legends because of the like of you, brother!

AJAY SATAN: Adapt to the Realism of a changed Earth, twin...it's a chemical world.

AMLAN SATAN: Selfie-like?

Amlan Satan was psyched about coaching his American side for Summer Games glory, but he was frightened to discover his morally-wayward 'evil' twin (Ajay) was also there, offering his 'bloody-eyes' for a more chemically poisoned view of Turkish wrestling, as Amlan prepped his American side for great social media fanfare/gossip. How the Hell did Ajay sneak into the consultation-locker of the amazing and respected and legendary Turkish team? That's what Amlan wondered, and he called himself the Dark Knight...and cast Ajay as a 'relation' of Poison Ivy (damn).

The games were underway, and the Americans/Turks shined brightly and quickly snatched early medals in their respective weight division/events, and Amlan wondered if evil Ajay had already poisoned the 'environment' with performance-enhancing magic-potions of the dark side of the Blue-Planet (wow). Otherwise, the early proceedings of the great Summer Games were rather Facebook-like.

AMLAN: Did you poison the wishing-well, evil gent?
AJAY: What's your guess, Satan (ha)?
AMLAN: Maybe you're just making fun of my superstitions.

AJAY: You'd guess wisely...the Turks are and have always been great wrestlers.

AMLAN: You wanted to lure me into some social media wretched 'paranoia' gossip?

AJAY: Selfie-like (farewell).

The irony of this dark fable is that Amlan Satan ended up meeting a beautiful Turkish model (Defne) at those amazing Summer Games and got married. He didn't tell her about his 'evil' twin (Ajay Satan); and he chose to forget (incompletely) why competition yields a dark superstition about the dangers of 'shy' beauty (for fiction!).
