*Beval Hernandez's POV:

As much as I wanted to sleep in, I had to get up for the meeting soon. The days of early mornings, late nights as a chef were over and I wanted to cherish that, and yet shit still had to get done. I unfortunately missed out on breakfast that morning. If it's not one thing it's another. I guess that's just part of being an adult.

"Come on Val, get up out of bed, the meeting is in ten minutes!", Alex yelled as he jumped up to hit me.

I groaned and turned in frustration, pulling the covers off of me.

It didn't take long for me to brush my teeth and wash my face. I kept my black tank-top on but wore my khaki shorts with them. It wasn't my style but it had to do.

"You got everything?", Alex asked me with a smile, standing outside of the door, his hand on the doorknob.

"Yeah", I sighed as I fixed my hair, leaving the suite.

When we arrived to the meeting room, we bumped into Kimberly who had just woken up like me.

"Good to see I'm not the only one late", she smiled before opening the door.

In the room was: Hikari and Tyler, my girlfriend Gaia, Celosia and Shimizu, Ashley and Sargant Thompson, and Danny and Trevor.

"Hey, long time no see Beval. You've gotten so big since I saw you, mustache and all", Trevor smiled as he opened his arms for an embrace. He still looked the same as I remembered, but he did gain a few pounds.

"It's good to see you too Trevor. I haven't seen you around the shelter much at all", I embraced him, patting his back a few times.

"I don't come out much", he chuckled.

I walked over to Gaia, sitting next to her in the chair.

"Good morning, baby", I smiled before kissing her.

"Good morning", she smiled, kissing back.

"Is everyone here? Are we missing anyone?", Shimizu asked us, looking around.

"No, we have everyone", Celosia responded to him.

"Good".

Shimizu slammed a printed article onto the table, causing us to jump in the process.

"You know what this is?", he asked looking up at all of us.

"Uh...a job opening for a position at J.L incorporated?", Kimberly guessed in a rhetorical, yet smart-ass manner.

"Yes! I already applied for the position. I have experience in tech, so it should be no problem being a data analyst".

"Did they get back to you?', I asked.

"A couple weeks ago I did a virtual interview with them. They liked me so much I got the job right then and there. Once I gain the world leader's trust-" Shimizu thrusted his knife into the table, causing us to lean back. "Boom! He is defeated, which means World War 3 won't happen, which means we will save the human race."

"This is a lot. How do you even know if this will work?", Tyler asked with doubt.

"If you knew everything we been through throughout these few years, you would know this is nothing", Shimizu replied to him.

"So when will you become ready to strike?", Ashley asked as she leaned back, crossing her arms, keeping her distance from Shimizu for some unknown reason.

"My first day of work is in six days. But in four, I will have to move to New York city. Trevor offered to take me."

"You're moving to New York?!.. I mean, that's great", Celosia said to Shimizu, trying to keep it together.

"Yes. Luckily, I found a apartment to rent there. The salary is decent and livable. It will be a while before it's my time to strike though, patience is a skill that I will have to use."

He glanced at Celosia as he stood up.

"I want some of you to come with me. That way I have backup. It will be easier that way for all of us. But you will have to keep it down low...some of you are all over the news because of a brawl that happened a few weeks ago. Some of your faces were even shown, which isn't good."

I didn't even question what he was talking about. I automatically remembered the fight me and the others had with those men a few weeks back. I ended up getting jumped and I still had a bruise on my face because of it. Little did we know that people were recording us, recording Robin with her fire powers and Kimberly turning into a tiger. We may have to change everything about ourselves because of this, even our names.

"May I join?", Danny asked, raising his hand. "I will do as best as I can to keep it on the downlow."

"Yes, of course you are coming Danny. That's official", Shimizu chuckled.

"I'll come too!", I stood up.

"Me too!", Gaia stood as she took my hand.

"We'll come too!", Hikari stood, trying to seem brave.

"Who is "we"?", Tyler asked, wondering why she included him.

"No, no. Hikari you stay here!", Shimizu firmly obligated.

"No! I'm tired of waiting and staying in one place. I want this guy dead too! I want to live a normal life like back when we lived in San Francisco. I'm tired of being terrified of what's next!"

Hikari's rebuttal silenced every single one of us.

She was right.

We was tired of being afraid of what was next. We was tired of staying in a single place just hoping the best. We wanted to fight back, we couldn't just avoid or hide anymore. We weren't planning on staying in another shelter waiting for a savior, we were going to be that savior. We stopped W.E.A from making more experi-babies, it's time for us to kill the man that will take us to the brink of war out of pride and greed. Like Tyler said, it was a lot, but at the end of the day it had to be done.

"I'm coming too!", Celosia stood up. She looked at Shimizu and smiled. "The more the merrier".

"I agree", Kimberly stood up.

"So do I", Alex followed.

"I'll stay, someone needs to watch the shelter and keep it in order", Trevor volunteered.

I looked at Ashley and Sargant Thompson. They never gave an answer. It was like they didn't want to.

"And you two?", Shimizu asked. His smile disappeared when he gazed at the both of them, which was strange because one of them was his girlfriend.

Sargent Thompson and Ashley looked at each other, wondering if they should go or stay.

"Me and Sargent Thompson will stay, Trevor will need help with making sure the shelter stays in order, I'm sure of it", Ashley explained, trying to convince us.

"That's fine", Shimizu said with a blank smile. He then turned to us. "If you are coming, I recommend you pack your things. We leave in four days."

"Wait, so what happens after you kill him?", Gaia asked. "What then?"

"I hope you aren't thinking we will be on the run. No that's not the case", Shimizu replied to her. "I will wait until other countries began having conflict from him wanting more power, that's when I will kill him."

"And if you don't succeed?", Gaia asked.

"I have you guys as back up, remember? While you guys are at my apartment, I will set you up with a job at J.L incorporated, then you all will be able to find your own apartments."

"Too late to chicken out now Gaia", Kimberly taunted her with a smirk.

"Does anyone have any questions?", Shimzu asked, looking around.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Danny stood right up. His face was downward and his breathing grew heavy.

"Hey Danny, are you alright?", Celosia asked with concern.

"What's up with him?", Kimberly asked, looking at Alex, whom in return shrugged.

"Danny?", I called him.

He didn't respond. Instead he stormed out of the room.

"Danny!", I yelled again before following him.

"Give us a second, we'll be right back", I heard Shimizu tell the others before following me.

"Danny!", I shouted again, jogging towards him.

He stopped about seventy feet from the main office room. He was leaning on the wall with his hands covering his mouth. His eyes were filled with horror and distraught. I watched as his shoulders rose up and down as I grew closer to him.

"Danny, Danny speak to me? What the hell happened? Are you okay?", I asked, shaking him a bit as I clutched his shoulders.

"Did you have a vision?", Shimizu asked with concern.

It took him a minute, but eventually he controlled his breathing and looked straight at us.

"I had a vision of the future. It's not good. It's not."

"What did you see?!", I asked with such urgency. "Are we going to survive? Will everything be alright?!"

"In two days, our home shelter will be raided by the F.E.M.A officers. Somehow, they have discovered where we were hiding."
