Uzi yawned as she woke up, forgetting where she was in her tired state. She tried to get up, but then felt V and N hold her tighter, in their sleep, as she tried.

"What? Where am-" Uzi said as she looked "up." "Oh yeah, now I remember."

N's screen began to turn on and he looked at the site before him. For a minute, it wasn't normal Uzi, it was the little pill that him and V had. The first night they had her, they slept the same way. He blinked a couple times before it was back to normal.

"Dad? You good?" Uzi asked him.

"...Yeah, biscuit. I'm fine." N said, smiling softly.

"V, time to wake up." N said.

"... No." V said, holding Uzi tighter.

"Uh, mom? That's a little tight." Uzi said with a small groan, from her mouth and her drone body.

"...Sorry." V said, loosening her hold to not hurt Uzi. "I just...I haven't held you in so long, I can't explain how much I've missed it. No matter how old you are."

"Hey, V, can we show her the thing?" N asked.

"The thing?" V asked, "Oh THAT thing... I guess we can."

"Show me what?" Uzi asked.

"You'll see." N said before he and V unwrapped their wings.

Flying down to the ground with Uzi as Uzi's friends were in sleep mode inside an old SUV.

'Well, at least they're alive.' Uzi thought.

"Follow us, biscuit." N said, gesturing Uzi to follow.

Uzi followed them into the landing pod that was in the middle. Inside, was an empty murder drone body.

"This was... going to be yours when you got older, before we had to give you up." V said, "I still remember the day your program was downloaded. Oh, you were so cute."

V patted Uzi on the head.

Uzi blushed a bit from the patting but didn't take her eyes off the murder drone body. HER body that she could've been inhabiting if not for what happened.

"Why did you give me up?" Uzi asked.

"We didn't want to." V said, "But... after what happened with Tessa, we couldn't risk it."

"W... what happened?"

"Tessa is held hostage on earth, Cy... a bad individual has taken over and has no problem threatening to harm Tessa if we step out of line." N said.

"We were afraid she would do the same to you if she learned about you." V said, looking sorrowful. "If we could've gone with you, we would've in a heartbeat."

Uzi went quiet. Whoever this person was it was clear that they were horrific enough to scare drones designed for murder.

"...If I wanted to, could I transfer into it? My original body?" Uzi asked, surprising N and V.

A happy surprise but a surprise nine the less.

"Y-Yes, of course! You can download in whenever you want." V said quickly.

"But only if it's your choice and when you're comfortable, Biscuit. We won't force this on you." N said, placing a hand in Uzi's shoulder.

"It's so good to actually be able to talk to you." V said, "I wish you still had my eyes, but... purple does kinda work for you."

"Really? You like it that much?" Uzi asked with a grin.

"Heck yeah! It gives you a mysterious vibe. Plus, it makes you as special as we know you are." N said with a thumbs up.

Uzi did something uncharacteristic... she hugged her parents.

"...Thanks." Uzi muttered, her head in their shoulders.

They gladly hugged her back.

"You're welcome, sweetie. And if you ever want to come back and talk, the door is always open." V said.

"Yeah, cuz we don't have a door." N joked.

Uzi chuckled from the bad joke.

"I guess we should probably get back to the bunker." Uzi said.

"Yeah, I suppose." N said, trying to let go but his body didn't seem to listen. "Oh! This is embarrassing but-"

"You guys want to hug a big longer, don't you?" Uzi asked blankly.

"You can't blame us for saying yes." V said.

"... Not really." Uzi said.

The trio hugged for the next few minutes as Thad was the first to awoken in the SUV.

"What time is it?" He said before checking his internal clock, showing 5pm/17:00.

'Yeah... we're so grounded.' He thought.

"Mmmm, we're still here?" Lizzy asked, getting up the same time as Doll. "Ugh! I wish I had a hot drink right now."

Uzi walked out of the spire.

"Come on, let's head back."

"А твои настоящие родители? (And your real parents?)" Doll asked.

"We worked out some things. And I've agreed to visit every now and then." Uzi said with a small smile before it turned into a frown. "Now we just have to figure how I'm going to explain this to my adopted parents without them blowing a fuse... Not that they have a right to after hiding this for 17 years."

Uzi mumbled that last part.

"Let's just worry more about our parents not shutting us down for being gone without them knowing." Thad said, walking to the bus.

"They'll really be made about the upgrades." Lizzy said.

"I'm not even going to say anything." Thad said.

"И они не забирают мой новый меч. (And they're not taking my new sword.)" Doll said, holding her katana with a trigger.

"Or my harness, which I still want back." Lizzy said.

"Okay, okay. You guys can keep the weapons, geez." Uzi said, rolling her eyes.

"Sweet." Thad said, happy to keep his new air shoes and blaster guns.

'Wait, do I even need the guns now that I have flamethrower hands?' Thad thought.

He thought about it, but realized having both is pretty cool.

"Ladies, our chariot awaits." Thad said, opening the bus doors for the trio of lady bots.

"Don't say that to me. It's weird." Izzy comments.

The group walked into the bus and drove off, as the Murder Drones looked on.

"She'll be fine." V said, trying to calm herself down, "Nothing bad will happen."

"... Then why does it feel like it will?" J asked.

"Because it will... sooner or later." N said.
