-Military Base-

Samara gave a nod, agreeing to Blake's suggestion and taking his hand.

"How long must we stay here?" She asked, doubting the boy knew the answer for that- after all she was just part of him. She knew what he knew. He was probably curious as well. "Why can't we stay at your home.....I can protect you. Nothing bad would happen"

-Apartment-

“I think we have a present for you...”

Rue's green eyes lit up at the idea of a gift. Every time Liam would come back from a trip he would bring her a gift. Sometimes it was was something small but cool like a rock from a canyon he and his parents traversed, but no matter what size she was grateful. She kept every one of his gifts, safely kept under her bed.

"A present?! What kind?!" She exclaimed excitedly, before calmning down. "S-Sorry, that's rude of me..."

-Flashback-

Chloe rushed out of the restaurant, leaning back against the building when she was safely outside. It was no surprise that Edda followed her.

“Chloe... are you okay?”

"Why the hell are your parents so nice?!" she snapped, not intending to sound so harsh. She sucked in a bit of air and continued. "They're like those parents you see on television programs! Minus the traveling all of the place stuff- BUT STILL"

The woman sunk down until she was seated on the ground. She hid her face in her hands for a moment. "Sorry, I sound like a freakin crackpot"

“Everyone else is worried too...” Blake said, “This way everyone can be protected, I think!”

He smiled, “Besides, Dad said he'd make sure we'd all be safe, and he doesn't break his promises.”

Blake had a lot of faith in his parents.

-Apartment-

Bedwyr checked his bag, then pulled out a small book, which looked a little battered and handed it to Rue. On the cover were some faded words reading “Plants and Their Uses”.

“It's a book made from before the Flare, still in decent condition,” Bedwyr said. “Liam said you wanted to help people like your parents, and this has a lot of different plants in it you can use to help heal people found out in the wild.”

-Flashback-

Edda wasn't sure what Chloe meant by families on television programs, but did know that wasn't the point, making a mental note to ask about that later.

“It's okay... I guess it's like when I heard about what your parents did... I couldn't imagine someone being that unkind to their kid,” Edda said, sitting down next to Chloe. “You're not a crackpot, you know. You're wonderful.”

He smiled and put an arm around Chloe's shoulder, giving her a small squeeze.

“My parents are nice... but they'll be your parents too here,” Edda said, “You know I love you Chloe, I want to share everything I can with you.”

Samara frowned. "I don't like them, they can't keep you safe better than I do..." she mumbled, looking to the side. "But if that's what you think..."

"Blaaaaaake where are you!"

Samara turned to see Joyce rushing over, the girl's cheeks flushed pink. She froze for a moment, watching Samara.

Samara stared back.

-Apartment-

Rue accepted the book, staring at it with wide eyes. She had seen many books before (as doctors her parents had quite a few) but this was the first one of her own...She clutched it tight to her chest, looking back to them. "It's wonderful! T-Thank you!"

"What do you have there miha?" Chloe asked, finally having come out of seclusion. She was still bitter about being left behind, but she wouldn't project that annoyance on the children. Rue presented her book and Chloe grinned. "Liam's grandparents always seem to know just what to get people!"

-Flashback-

Chloe leaned against Edda's shoulder, letting out a sigh she didn't realize she had been holding in. "I thought it would be easier if they ended up being jerks for some reason. I've gotten really good at hating people the last couple of years. But god, they're literally the opposite. You know when I was little my dad use to cut my hair when I misbehaved? Giant chunks of it until I decided on my own to cut it super short so he couldn't do it anymore. When I did that he got so mad he broke my arm. My mom just stood there and do nothing. By the time I got my powers I hated them so much that I wanted to kill them- but then they did a complete 360. I was the golden child just long enough for them to put me in training and bet on my amazing powers six years later."

Chloe gave a laugh, obviously bitter. "I still get pissed when I see parent's like yours. I mean what the hell did I do so wrong in another life to get my parents over someone like yours? And what the hell happens if I turn out to be just as bad as them?"

Blake paused, smiling when he saw his older sister.

“Joyce!” Blake said, waving with his free hand towards her. “Is something wrong?”

-Apartment-

Liam smiled happily, glad that Rue liked his grandparents. At least, these two. He wasn't sure about his other grandparents...

“We got you a present too,” Evelyn said to Chloe, getting up and pulling out a long box from their stuff. “We heard you had to leave behind a few things in a hurry...”

She opened it and presented Chloe with a metal bow, much like the one Edda had gotten her in the past, along with a small quiver of arrows.

“Specially made, a draw that only someone like you could do,” Evelyn stated, “With special arrows that can withstand the pressure. Edda said you had trouble with guns, but with this, and your strength... you could shoot through armor, I bet.”

-Flashback-

Edda frowned, not liking Chloe's parents at all, hating them even more each time Chloe mentioned something about them.

“You'll never be as bad as them,” Edda said, shaking his head. “When... if... we ever have kids, I know you'd be a great mother. You went through so much adversity, but you're a better person for it. You're one of the best people I know.”

He smiled, taking her hand and holding it now with his free hand, keeping one hand wrapped around her shoulder. “You know... one of the reasons my family has that money is because of my great grandfather. He was a huge jerk. He horded tech from before the Flare that still worked, and bullied people off their land and took their things. Then my grandfather came around and from what I hear, he wasn't that bad, but he was very protective of everything he considered his. My dad ran off, hating that and started his own life as a prospector, often giving away tech he would find to those in need. He only came home when he heard his father was dying. My dad got all that land and wealth, and he turned around and decided to use it for good.”

Edda gave Chloe another sideways hug, “So the way I see it, you can take all that bad stuff and turn around and use it for good. Don't let the cycle continue, and hey, if I think you're acting that way, I can still kick your butt.”

He grinned at the end.

Chloe had been in a very bad mood having been left behind by the others, but the sight of the bow instantly lifted her spirits. She took the weapon in her hands, pulling back on the insanely tightly wound string with a grin. It took a bit of extra pressure on her end but after a few seconds she had pulled back the string in her two fingers. "This is amazing! Where did you find it?"

"What is it?" Rue asked curiously. Chloe leaned down letting the girl inspect the weapon. The little girl touched the string, trying to imic what Chloe had done but to no avail. It seemed as if it was impossible to move.

Chloe couldn't help but to laugh "Don't worry, not many people are strong enough to pull something so tight. "It's a bow. You take those arrows, balance them in your fingers against the bow and then draw back and shoot"

"Like a gun?" She asked.

"Kinda, but i'm a lot less likely to accidentally have one of you get hurt with this, it's harmless for anyone but me"

-Military Base-

Joyce shook her head "No, mom just wanted me to find you. She was....Worried"

Joyce continued to watch Samara, while the little girl did the same with her. Finally Joyce spoke again. "Make her go away and come on, we shouldn't be wandering around this place on our own-"

Usually Joyce was the first to jump at adventure, but she didn't want to be anywhere alone with this...Whatever Samara was.

-Flashback-

Chloe listened to Edda's story, giving a slight grin and nudging him again in the shoulder when he mentioned kicking her butt. "Yeah you wish" she said. "But thank you...I'm really glad I didn't stab you when we first me back in the games when I had the chance"

Chloe looked up, knowing they would need to go back in soon. She felt bad that she had just run out with no proper explanation. Though she wasn't lying when she said she needed the air.

"I'm going to do everything in my power not to become like them." Chloe said, deciding to take the casual approach. She looked to the side, giving a slight shrug "I mean our kid deserves that much right?"

“Special ordered it,” Bedwyr said, “There's some good craftsmen we know. The bow itself is also fairly strong, you can use it as a staff or such if you need to fight close range with it.”

Liam stared at the bow, knowing he couldn't use one like that, remembering his mom's older one. Chloe had tried repeatedly to see if he could, but he just didn't have his mother's super strength.

-Military Base-

Blake shook his head. “Samara's my friend, I don't want to make her go away...”

He held Samara's hand a little tighter, staring up at his sister with his big blue eyes. “When she's around I don't hurt as much...”

Since creating her used up a bit of his powers so less of it was building pressure inside of him...

-Flashback-

“I'm glad you didn't stab me too,” Edda said, smiling brightly, “But we can decide who can kick who's butt after dinner.”

He got up to help Chloe up, then paused for a moment.

"I mean our kid deserves that much right?"

“our kid”

Edda was speechless for a long moment, then got back down on his knees, holding Chloe's hand tightly.

“...You're pregnant?” he asked, a welter of excitement running through him now.

"Edda is gonna freak when he sees it! It's beautiful, now I REALLY wish I could have went with them- I need to try this baby out!" Chloe looked over, catching sight of Gem "Hey, what's the chances we can blow this pop stand and find a part or something?"

Gem who was usually rather stoic (especially considering all that had happened) raised a brow. "I don't think that's safe-"

"Safer than being sitting ducks in here?" Chloe countered.

"No one knows of our location here. The children's best chance of survival is dependent on them staying hidden.

Chloe frowned, but she knew Gem had a point.

"Not to mention you need your rest-"

Chloe groaned loudly "GEEEEEZ i'm fine! Seriously! Enough with the babying!"

-Military Base-

Joyce's frown stayed in place, the girl stepping forward towards her brother. Samara stood next to him, only until Joyce made a move to touch her, then she moved behind the boy with impressive speed.

"Don't touch me!" Samara growled, causing Joyce to jump back.

"What are you?!" Joyce countered.

"None of your business! Don't touch me with those hands!"

Joyce blinked, looking down at her small palms. "What about them?"

-Flashback-

Chloe had never been worried of Edda's reaction, heck she knew for YEARS that the man wanted to be a father. She was more worried about getting him all worked up over nothing, so she made herself be sure before she said anything. She probably should have waited even longer to be sure, but this seemed like a good conversation to slip it in.

Chloe gave a small nod "I think so....I mean it's been almost two months so i'm pretty sure now..... Not to mention the smell of fish now makes me want to puke and I can't drink milk without making myself nauseous." she said, now cracking a little smile "So either i'm dying or you are finally getting that kid you always wanted"

“You do need rest dear,” Evelyn said, “You don't want to push yourself too hard. Rest, and you'll be at 100 percent soon, especially with those healing powers Connor has.”

Liam nodded, looking worried. “Yah Mom! I don't... don't wanna lose you...”

-Military Base-

Blake looked confused now as Samara growled and moved behind him.

“Samara, what's wrong?” Blake asked, concerned. “Joyce is my sister, she's nice...”

-Flashback-

Edda broke into a wide smile, before he picked Chloe up and kissed her right there.

“I... that's wonderful! I...” he paused, still holding Chloe as he searched her face. “You're... you're okay with it too, right? I mean... you do want a kid... with me?”

-Apartment-

Chloe gave a little groaned, but went quiet as Liam spoke.

“Yah Mom! I don't... don't wanna lose you...”

Instantly Chloe felt terrible. She moved forward, hugging her son tightly. "Oh miho, you won't lose me. Never in a million million years. You're stuck with me forever...But i'll get some more rest if it makes you feel better."

-Military Base-

"Her hands...." Samara said again, pointing again. "They're like your father's....They can make me go away"

Joyce seemed confused. "Like dad's....You mean the electricity?"

Samara narrowed her eyes.

-Flashback-

Chloe gave a little yelp, clinging to her husband as he picked her up and kissed her. He then paused and she felt her heart sink a bit.

“You're... you're okay with it too, right? I mean... you do want a kid... with me?”

Chloe blinked, knowing she couldn't flat out lie to her soon to be husband. He knew that she wasn't the biggest fan of kids, nor did she have many motherly qualities. "I......I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if I want a kid." she admitted quietly. "I don't know the first thing about them....I dunno if I can even keep one alive. But if i'm gonna have one, which it looks like I am, then there is no one in the world i'd rather it be with than you. Even if I turn out to be a crap parent I can rest assured that the baby will at least have the absolute best dad ever"

Liam smiled at his mom comforting him, hugging her back carefully.

“Okay Mom... you go rest up, I'll make you some breakfast in bed!” Liam said. Liam had learned to cook like his dad, which was surprisingly well, though tended towards food that filled you up and would be considered 'comfort food' a lot.

Exploring strange places burned a lot of calories.

-Military Base-

“Electricity makes you go away?” Blake asked, pondering this. “Momma said that electricity could make her shadows stronger too though...”

He felt a little tingly.

-Flashback-

Edda smiled faintly, leaning his head against her's now.

“We're in this together, and I know you won't be a bad mother. It's you and me, we pick up each other's slack,” Edda said, “We share the load evenly.”

He smiled a bit brighter, giving his fiance another quick kiss, “We'll spend time reading up on child stuff! And we can go visit Connor and Sarai, ask for tips from them. I think they're expecting another kid themselves...”

-Apartment-

"Okay then, i'm holding you to that breakfast thing miho" Chloe said with a smile, looking to Edda's parents as her expression turned a bit more serious. She really was tired, she still felt like she was missing half her blood from the night before....But the lingering threat of attack on the children caused her to be on edge, "You guys will be okay with them?"

-Military Base-

"Both. I think..." Samara answered, thinking carefully for a moment, eyes still trained on Joyce. "A little can make me bigger....Make you bigger....Too much makes me disappear-"

Joyce's brow furrowed "Like too much light? Like a flashlight in a dark room?"

At the idea Samara stiffened.

"But light and electricity aren't totally the same..." Joyce noted "Uncle Jason can make light but he can't throw balls of electricity like daddy..."

-Flashback-

Edda seemed confident- thank god one of them was. Chloe gave a small lopsided grin, moving to clasp Edda's hand in hers. It was a bit stronger than intended, but she was nervous. "What did I do to deserve a guy like you?" she asked "I'm just happy I can give you something you've been wanting for the last- pretty much since the Games ended"

She had to admit once they found out Sarai and Connor were expecting their first she picked up on Edda's eagerness. Of course, always the complicated Chloe she denied him at every turn, insisting that she was not apt to take care of a pet rock much less a kid-

Chloe then jumpped up, remembering his parents. "AH. Craaaap your mom and dad! What a thing to drop on them when I first meet them!"

“Okay Mom!” Liam said, then turned to Rue and grabbed her hand. “Wanna help me make something for my mom?”

Bedwyr and Evelyn smiled, nodding their heads.

“We'll be fine,” Bedwyr said, “Rest, please. If something happens, Paul is here. And without any pylons... well, even Edda hasn't beaten him in a fight then.”

Paul grinned at that.

-Military Base-

Blake was quiet as he thought, trying to think of something as he looked between his sister and Samara.

“I see...” Blake said, “I don't like bright lights either...”

He had special eyes.

-Flashback-

Edda couldn't stop smiling, not minding that Chloe's hand was very tight on his.

“I wonder what I did to deserve you myself,” Edda said, “As for my parents, I'm sure they'll be thrilled! They'll love to hear that they're going to be grandparents!”

-Apartment-

Chloe gave a small nod, heading into the room where she awoke before. Once alone she sat down on the bed and eyed her pack. Much like the rest of her at the time, it was bloody- her blood splattered on it. She gave a frown and got up, rummaging through it. There were some papers, a few small books, a canteen and weapons. She took out a few knives she kept and placed them on her bedside table.

She trusted that Connor and the others would get the job done and protect them all....But she still couldn't sleep unless she knew she could fight.

Chloe sighed. "Is this really what life has come to" she mumbled to herself. "We're too old for this crap...."

[...]

Rue nodded, clutching Liam's hand as they rushed to the kitchen. While they were still strangers to this apartment the little girl was happy to see the fridge full of food. Gem probably kept this place ready in case someone needed to stay here....She died mention it belonged to Castor.

Rue then frowned, looking over to Liam. She didn't dare ask her parents the question that had been on her mind, as she didn't want to stress them out any more than they already were.

"Liam.....Castor died didn't he?" she asked bluntly.

-Military Base-

"All the more reason not to trust her" Samara spat, still glaring forward.

Joyce narrowed her eyes "I wouldn't hurt him. He's my baby brother. And I wouldn't hurt you if that's what Blake wanted...."

"But you can't speak for your mother and father"

Joyce looked away "No...."

-Flashback-


Chloe couldn't help but to chuckle. "You better be right Edda, historically speaking parents usually don't like becoming grandparents quite so....Suddenly"

She then took a deep breath, grabbing his hand and pulling him back towards the resturant. When she spotted Edda's parents at the table she faltered a bit.

"Uh...Sorry about that, it was kinda rude of me to leave so suddenly" She apologized, sitting down and taking a sip of water. She looked over to Edda, wishing he'd get rid of the goofy happy expression on his face as to her it really was the ultimate tell. Though to be fair she basically just told him that he was going to be a dad- which was like telling a ten year old boy he could have Christmas every day.

Liam was quiet for a moment, then nodded. While Rue was more sheltered, Edda and Chloe were much more frank about life to him.

“I think so,” Liam said, “I mean... I know there's types of people who could survive what happened... but I don't think Castor was one of them...”

He rummaged through the food, pulling out some supplies to make sandwiches.

“So... ummmm...” Liam said, trying to change the subject. “What's it like having powers?”

-Military Base-

“We can trust my sister! And my parents,” Blake said to Samara, taking her hand now. “My parents are nice...”

He did think quite fondly of his parents. They were nice.

-Flashback-

“It's fine dear,” Evelyn said, looking at her son's face and raising an eyebrow, smirking herself now.

“What's got you in such a good mood?” Bedwyr asked his son, not getting it.

“Ummm... well...” he glanced towards Chloe, still smiling. “I just found out... you two are gonna be grandparents.”

“Oh?” Bedwyr said, his wife smiling broadly now. “Well congratulations!”

Evelyn nodded as well, placing her hand on Chloe's, “Congrats, dear! I can give you a few books on childcare for both of you! Do you have any names in mind?”

“I think so, I mean... I know there's types of people who could survive what happened... but I don't think Castor was one of them...”

Rue nodded silently for a moment. "And that's why everyone had to leave...To find that lady who did it?"

“So... ummmm...What's it like having powers?”

Rue blinked, realizing that Liam was trying to apruptly change the subject. The little girl looked back at the ingrediants and gave a shrug. "I don't really feel any different than before, maybe a little more tingly when I try and heal...But i'm also not very good at it, dad once told me it took him years before he was good enough to even fix a broken bone. Now he's good enough to save people's lives!"

She then paused. "I wonder why my dad didn't save him"

-Flashback-

Chloe blinked at Edda's bluntness but decided not to say anything against it. Instead she gave a nod and looked down at her plate.

“Well congratulations!”

Chloe looked back up, face a bit pink. Like before they were so...Nice. It was unbelievable.

"Do you have any names in mind?”

Instantly Chloe turned red "N-Names? Not yet, i'm not even showing yet" She answered, looking to Edda "I think i'll let him pick, i've never been good at stuff like that."
