Pyro sat down next to her when she sat "I do understand why you need to be cautious. It has been a long time since she took control of me. Yes she did so in a way that I...I don't remember anything. It was all blur. All I can say is that I wasn't in control of myself. It feels like I was in a deep sleep all these years." He nodded to her "You need to be sure that whatever influence she had over me is gone."
As he heard her story he put a hand on her shoulder "I can only wish I was here for you this whole time. For both of you. And I don't think I remember too much of what happened with Matt. Is he...okay? Did he make it?" he wasn't sure with how fuzzy his head had been while here if he had seen Matt or what had become of him . He hoped he was ok.
"And a tour would be nice...and some fresh air was well. I haven't been free for at least 15 years...it will be nice to finally have my freedom. Be myself again" He said sadly. He sighed and listed as she had a suggestion about showing memories that he had missed using her powers. This was more than he had even hoped for "Th-Thank you1? " His eyes went wide with a smile that for once had no hint of pain. And the memory she picked was perfect.
"Please...let me see." He said looking into her eyes.

Looking into his ocean blue eyes, she could see his past already. This man had indeed been the man she almost married. Leaning in closer, she put each hand on the sides of his face. Bringing her forehead to his, she closed her eyes.
It was raining and the winds were picking up. Pyro has been missing for 8 months and there was no trace of finding him. Sentinels were everywhere and the Alliance was defending the front. Logan was the first run out and fight. Mercy was right after him, ensuring that the injured were taken care of. Skye, ignoring the commands of Mercy, raced out to help. Wanda has been battling and tore out a Sentinel single handily, which left her weak, but saving the life of Matthew.
Rhona had thrown on a hologram in the middle of the storm. She had John at the end of her 38. Skye stopped, ignoring the chaos around her. The rain pounded harder, but she could feel the cold pelts against her skin. John stares at them...all of them, as Rhona pulled the trigger, his body falling to the ground.
Skye’s shrieks of horror echoed into the darkness as her water broke unexpectedly. Kneeling down against the gravel path in the front of the compound, she yelled in pain as her hands dug into the salty rocks beneath her.
Mercy, Logan, Wanda and Matthew had defeated the last Sentinel while Ryuusei manned the guns, ensuring that any others wouldn’t have passed through. Mercy raced to Skye’s side while Logan grabbed her up and ran inside.
Olivia was born a little premature, but out of danger. She was 6 pounds of peach perfection. Her red hair ever present and her cries gentle, like a song...

Logan could understand her reasons and while he wouldn’t have minded more kids the situation was that now wasn’t a good time and they were lucky with what they had as it was now. He nodded to her and decided to voice his opinion.
“I would have loved if we could have another one. I do understand how you feel about though and that’s why I wouldn’t ask you again. As for later I can help with whatever you need help with. Although showering together is the best way to conserve water.”
Another like Bell would be fine or hell even a boy like Angie would have been an excellent balance to them both. Bellona was a rough and tumble teen who had aspects of both his and Angie’s personality. She was a true pleasure.
“I was just feeling bad that we had a girl who was like me and maybe we could have had one that was more like you.”
He curled his fist closed and waited for her to poke him with a needle and decided to ask a more pertinent question.
“How is Skye’s missing limb? She getting any pains or the like?”

Relina always had the same argument with Fred every time they were going to make the trip. He argued they shouldn’t go and that it was dangerous. This was especially true he said after they had their kid. He was a handsome boy who looked just like his dad but with his mom’s red hair. He was a wonderful boy who needed the interactions he got with the other kids. She smiled as she again checked all her supplies on the last stop. She was glad Fred was with them and she radioed ahead letting them know they were just twenty minutes down the road and what she saw through her binoculars.
“Fred tell me that this place doesn’t look like a war zone or battlefield?”
This concerned her but they were nearly there and the relative safety of the compound Skye had secured and made a home. They lived off the grid and due to some for the things she had made it worked well for them and it was upgrade time for all the systems in the compound. It would also give them a secure line of communication with a frequency she had discovered quite by accident.
“Mommy? Are we there yet? I want to see Bell and Olivia and play with the kids.”
Well they weren’t at any point to turn back and she wanted Fred’s thoughts on this. She sighed as she waited for him to give his thoughts. Benjamin was a brave kid but this might scare the hell out of him.

Angie leaned in as she kissed Logan as her thumbs ran over the side of his face. She understood his reasoning behind wanting another. She could see Bellona being all over her little sibling. Maybe they could try if the war had an end in sight. At the moment, it seemed as if it would draw out for many more years.
"I think we can conserve a little water. And I promise my project is nothing dangerous." She gave him a little wink as she kissed him again. "And we can talk more about kids once this is all over. I am not sorry about having a girl. She is our greatest achievement. I like to think that she has the best parts of us. If anything, I am sure there are a few we can adopt. The little ones would be lucky to have a father such as you. Plus it would be nice to have a friend of sorts for Bell."
She wrapped a rubber tourniquet around his bicep as her fingers expertly felt for the veins. Her eyes narrowed as she rubbed his skin. She picked up the alcohol swap as she disinfected his skin. She put on her gloves with a small sigh at the question. It was an interesting one as she knew Skye was still adjusting. The needle poked through his skin as she grabbed a vial as she let it fill up with blood while releasing the tourniquet.
"Skye is adjusting as best as she can. I am happy there was no infection or blood clots afterwards. There is still some pain, even a bit of phantom from time to time. I am happy that John is back as it is gives her a distraction. I do think a replacement of sorts would be good for her, just unsure of where we can get one."

Pyro saw the memory of his daughter being born. He had missed this...He was just glad she was alright through all of the strife. Though it was hard and the world was dangerous...but he was glad he got to see this. He was never a sentimental man...but seeing the birth of his healthy daughter especilly knowing she was healthy despite the trials put a single tear in his eye. It made him happy he was there now. It would take time but he would be in their lives now. He would fight for his family now once he was fully recovered from all of this. It was the only way he knew he could go on knowing everything he missed, everything he must have done or almost did to his own. He got out of the memory and said "Thank you. That meant the world to me. " He said.
"This is definalty not the type of world I would have wanted us to raise a child in Skye...I wonder how did all of it get this bad? What happened after I was taken? I remember being taken in the beginning of all of this." He put a hand on his head.

Gabs looked to Matt when they were finally alone. He wanted to talk to her about something but she had no idea. She wondered as she sensed something had been off with him, especially since Pyro had returned. She was glad he at least wanted to talk to her. Maybe she could get to the bottom of this. She sat down next to him
"What's wrong Matt? What did you need to tell me?" She asked looking into his eyes

Placing her hand onto his, she smiled sweetly “We made it through. It truly took a village to raise her. Everyone has helped and has been amazing, John. She is so talented and intelligent.” She spoke softly of their child, now a teenager “She writes beautifully as well. She looks just like you.” She sighed heavily when he asked of what had happened after he was taken.
“We were ripped apart. R1K sent sentinels over and blew up what supplies we had. Our food was gone, those we were trying to habilitate had perished in the explosion. Wanda has been an excellent leader, and Cable had been wonderful as well. We make do with what we have.” She responded, biting her lower lip to avoid confessing of her relations with the member of their tribe.
“Wanda was taken weeks ago and we were working on a plan to extract her.” She looked down to her feet “I’ve been managing things and trying to lead them, but I feel myself breaking. When you arrived, R1K ripped my arm off and Angie saved my life. Logan got me out of there before I bled out. It’s been just absolutely crazy.”
———————————————
Fred put his hand back to hold Ben’s small palm and gave it a squeeze “Soon, Benny, soon.” He smiled, not showing his fear. The man then looked to his wife, returning her gaze “Something happened here, that’s for sure. You know that we will through it, though. I won’t let anything happen to you or Ben. I promise.” He sighed, however, finding the debris from the battle that ended not long ago. They passed the pool of blood and he closed his eyes. “Jesus...”

"Well then I have a lot of people thank for helping raise her, and for helping to save you while I wasn't there. I wish I had been there do so...I feel I missed too much." He looked around and held his head down "If only I Had been strong enough to fight her..." He whispered to himself. He then put a hand on Skye's shoulder in comfort when she talked about what R1K did "She will pay for what she has done to our family..." he said simply
He was angry Wanda had gotten taken. He wondered out loud "Is quicksilver with us? I'm sure he will want to get her out soon." He nodded to what she said about Cable. Knowing Skye there was something she wasn't saying, but he also knew if it was important he'd have been told. He had to look to the future.
"And if I can help let me know. I'll gladly take any chance to right the wrongs I have done. And to get back at R1k for everything she has done and made me do.

Charis continued on through the halls looking for Angie. Hopefully, she would be able to help Charis get her life to look different than looking like the morning breakfast.
As she wandered she spoke out loud to herself, "Hmm? I think it was this way...no that's a dead end...let's try this way...no that says danger room...wouldn't wanna go in there..."
She kept wandering then stopped and slumped against a wall, "gosh how hard could this be? there are like 100 rooms in here...I wish I had a map..."

Relina didn’t like this at all. It caused her skin to crawl thinking about the fact they could be ambushed. It made her wonder who ran with Benny. She wasn’t going to do the brave thing and both fight while Benny makes off and survives. One of them would run with him while the other fought to let them get to safety.
“That’s isn’t my concern. We’re more than capable but one of would have to make a stand.”
That was her concern as they loaded back up and started driving again. She wished she had the materials to complete that prototype teleportation device. It would make this their last dangerous trip. The power requirements were massive and it would be detected swiftly by anyone who had monitoring equipment.
“Eyes on the road Fred. We need to ensure something isn’t going to come crawling up on us. You remember the spider Sentinels? Those things were just creepy.”
She shivered unconsciously at the thought of those things. They were the worst.
~*~
Logan laughed at her water conservation talk. It was nice she still felt in the mood for such things despite the situation always seeming to be going from worse to....he didn’t want to give thought to that situation.
“I’m glad we can discuss that still and perhaps after the shower.”
She wanted to take in one or two of the kids they had as their own. That was a surprise to him. He wouldn’t mind that at all. It would be better than their current procedure. Load them all on a boat and have Matt get them to whatever safety he could find for them.
“Well we will have to see how Bell would feel about that. I know she be excited but it wouldn’t hurt to ask her.”
The fact that Skye was up and around bothered him. She was tough but not regenerate her wounds tough. He hoped she was at least resting in her quarters.
“She is following your advice right? Well maybe that is a stupid question. I bet she’s with John right now. I will say I don’t trust him yet but as long as she doesn’t open the door to his cell.”
He was on the fence about John. He had been gone so long. It made him suspicious. The replacement topic made him think of a place they could get to in a day and scavenge for parts.
“I may know of a place that we can get to in a day. We would go, maybe take Bell and Lil O. We could use them both for what we would need done.”
It was an idea and would get them out of the base and some exercise.

*Cue SpongeBob cue card 10 years later*
Charis finally found the doctor's office but it was shut and she heard people talking inside. She sighed happily as she went and sat in one of the chairs closeby. "Now I just wait."

Angie smiled as her head gave a nod. It was nice to talk about this. It was even more surprising that he agreed to her plan. He was right that they would have to ask their daughter what she wanted. Could they handle more kids with a lot of energy? She would like to thing so with the others around to help.
She covered up his tiny prick as she chuckled. It wasn't a surprise that he didn't trust John. It seemed too good to be true that he was turned back to their side. She often ran vitals on what the other man to make sure he was healthy with no lasting effects.
"We will keep an eye on them both. After all, it's what we do best." She chuckled as she thought about a romp through a junk yard. It would be nice to get out of this place. She put the blood in the spinner before sitting next to him.
"I can think of one or two others that need to be let loose from here, if you want the company. I see your wheels are turning, care to let a lady in?" ~*~*~
Bell had finished her breakfast as she wondered the halls. She was bored of being coped up all the time. She needed to run and occasionally hit something. It didn't help that everyone always seemed rather busy. She spotted Charis waiting close to where her mom spent most of her days. She had a feeling it would be awhile before Charis saw her mom.
She leaned against the wall across from Charis, "Who are you waiting for? If it's for Angie, might be a little bit. I think she and my dad are in there for awhile."

Charis was calmly sitting outside Miss Angie's office/lab thingy and was about to fall asleep trying to remember stuff when a voice called out to her, one she knew.
"Why Hello again miss Bell...Me? Yes, I am waiting on Angie, patiently I might add. your dad? who is your dad, Young Bell? here...come sit with me...I don't bite..at least that's what I've been told."
Charis patted the seat next to her trying to invite Miss Bell to have a conversation with her. Of course, if Miss Bell declined, that was alright too...Charis learned that you don't have to do anything if you don't want to.

As the car neared the compound, Fred unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out. Opening the back passenger side door, he grabbed their child, carrying him in a secure grasp as he looked out. "It's like, scorched, Re... Are you sure anyone is even here?" he asked softly as he clutched their son firmly against his large, bellowing chest.
----------- Skye had been about to stand, but the security alarms went off. It was a little twitchy in the fact that their main electrical pathway had been damaged in battle, but it still worked nonetheless. "Someone is here..." she whispered. Looking to John, she closed her eyes with regret "I'm sorry, I have to go.." she bit her lip hard before looking toward the door "Logan! Ryuseei! We have someone outside!" she breathed in heavily; this couldn't be a second attack, right?! they had to develop a plan to rescue Wanda! This wasn't happening now....
