Reeva's POV

After a tremendous week of training for the next operation for the mutant homeland. I given everyone the rest of the next week off unless something came up that I needed them immediately.

During my time in up the screen room watching everyone train. I saw something different in Wes, Lauren, and Andrew eyes. These three seem to have a strong bond of friendship enough to fully work as a team and as one. For it being my day off, I joined the city for once instead of staying inside all day focusing on training for five hours.

The mutant underground had been very quiet since the little accident witn the Strucker parents, their Strucker Family, Lorna and Marcos.

I'm disappointed in Lorna deeply. Her father was a King to the Hellfireclub. I don't need people like that on this operation. The only mutants that really matter are the descendants of Fernis aka. Andrew and Lauren Von Strucker.

Andrew has impressed me with everything since he had doubts for a while in the beginning of all of this, I can see when he and Lauren are together the feeling of friendship.

I had a friend like that, but I watched my closet friend die in my arms due to us getting into a fight, then she got killed on the streets by Pulsefires. They will pay for taking Benziar from me.

What no mutants know or even a family that isn't even mutants don't know that I've been secretly training a girl who supposedly died on 7/15, but really she survived and faked her death to recover fully to face up to her family again one day.

Her name is Grace Turner. The daughter of Jace and Paula Turner. I think today will be there unlucky day because for so long they thought their daughter died on the fateful day that was so long ago. Grace was given the options to either go home where her father could turn her in just being a mutant or become stronger by training under my wing and face her parents showing them how strong she's become after hiding the fact she is mutant like most people in this world today.

Grace was 7 years old when everyone thought she died. Grace is now the age of 13.

When I first found her she didn't remember who she was or what had happened to her. Esme, Phoebe, and Sophie gained Grace trust and showed Grace what happened to her.

Today is the day Grace will finally come clean and prove that mutants aren't afraid of humans even if mutants seem like we want to cause harm when we don't we want peace and a place to call home of our own.

"I'm ready Reeva. I'm anxious to see how my parents will react to me being alive. It's high time my father gets payback for hurting us mutants." Grace comments walking into the meeting room interrupting me from my thoughts.

"Good to hear Grace. Remember we can leave when you want to or whatever is comfortable with you."

"Thank you, but I'll be okay, all the training has paid off and my so called father will finally see that he was wrong from the start." Grace replied smirking at the thought of leaving this place after years of being afraid and hiding from everyone.

Then off we went.

Jace's POV

Today will mark the anniversary of Grace death. I can't forgive myself for letting those mutants take my daughter and other innocent lives from this world and their families.

"I miss you Grace. I wish you were here, your mom and I are trying to make things better between us, but since you died that fateful day things haven't gotten better between your mother and I. We need you Grace. We love you Grace." I cried out loud having tears go down my cheeks.

Walking to my office, there was knock on the front door. Walking over to the front door there was Grace and some lady standing next to her.

Wait a minute...

"Grace? Is that really you honey?"

"Yes it is me, but I'm not the same little seven year old Grace anymore father. It's me in the flesh. This is Reeva Payge she took me in after you left me to die in the park that day. Reeva treated my wounds and I found out that I'm a mutant and that mutants need peace and a place to call home without being killed or thrown in jail for being a mutant." Grace mumbled.

Poor Grace my sweet little flower isn't my flower anymore.

"Jace who's at the door?" My wife Paula asks joining my side and in her eyes I could see sadness, shock, lonely, etc.

"Gracy bear is that you?" Paula asks our daughter reaching for Grace to make sure it was truely our daughter.

"Yes. This is your daughter Grace. She came here to say goodbye for good. She's a mutant she belongs to her own kind. Good day to you both." Reeva comments guiding Grace away from Paula and I.

I can't believe this, I finally get to see my daughter again, then she leaves because of mutants bringing an uprising on the world.

Turning on the radio in the house a song that fits this perfect moment right now.

Say Something (I'm Giving Up on You) by: A Big World featuring Christina Aguilera.

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh, oh, oh, oh say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

Lauren's POV

I still can't forget that dream. It's been three days since I had that dream. Maybe it's a sign that whoever is mine and Andy next opponent is they will be dealing with two strong siblings that are bound to each others hearts. Not literally, but we're close enough to have each other backs all the way to the very end of time.

Andy and I agreed to spend an actual day together outside of HQ. With everyone getting the day off. I know that Fade wasn't getting a day off from keeping a close eye on me and Andy, it bothers me a little that Reeva doesn't trust me or Andy enough to not have Fade give her feed back on what we're doing outside of the HQ.

Looking towards the park, there we're pulifcers attacking some humans and mutants. Reeva training will come in handy she told all of us that if we see something that will hurt innocent mutants

Andy and I look at each other, and runs towards the park, luckily we made it in time to stop the enemy. Fade came out of nowhere and appeared at our side.

"Reeva wants us to deal with these freaks. I informed her of what is going on she wants you to combine your powers and end these freaks." Fade explains patting Andy and I on the back stepping back to watch us.

The Pulsifires look at Andy and I and smirk looking at us. "Oh look what we have here two more mutants to hurt." the leader smirks.

Andy and I look at each other quickly grabbing each other hand.

"Wait a minute their Von Strucker's attack them now." the leader commands his men.

A blast hits the Pulsifires immediate, Andy and I look over to where the blast came from it was from Lorna and Marcos.

"Good timing you too." Fade smiles hugging Marcos and Lorna having them join Andy and I.

"Fade what are you doing?" Andy asks Fade.

"I've been helping the mutant-underground since I arrived here in Washington D.C., Reeva thinks I'm helping her, but I'm really with the underground. Andy Lauren your parents ask about you all the time, they ask about your training and your health-"

An explosion went off from under mine and Andy's feet. All of us got knocked off our feet, the last thing I seen before passing out we're two tall light figures grabbing me and dragging me to a vehicle that was running.
