Please note – this is meant to be a carry on from Thunderbirds Are Go, after the episode Legacy where both Matteo island and Kayo's relationship with the Hood is revealed. I am aware that another series is probably going to come out during this, and I can try and link this to the episodes if possible if that is what you wish. I am also aware that, yes, this may not be 100% accurate, this is just some random ideas for books compressed into what happens after Legacy. So, enjoy! (Also, I made this so that Kayo was adopted by Jeff before he disappeared). This is my first book and this is just my tester to see how to publish books on FanFiction.

Chapter 1 – Scott

Mud. It's what you began to hate after a good handful of missions. Mud. Something about mud just makes you feel tired, and makes all of your muscles ache. Oh well, at least the people had gotten out safely. Following an earthquake that happened in Japan, a storm decided it would be a brilliant time to open the heavens, and any houses that were near mountains that weren't already wrecked were toppled upon by mud. It was extremely unfortunate for everybody in Japan, they never deserved it. Colonel Casey and I had already had a discussion about it – the GDF would sort out rehoming everybody effected by the earthquake if we would sort out helping trapped people. All of us had to help at one point at least– Me, Virgil, Gordon, Alan and Kayo had helped directly at the scenes, John was on constant monitoring of the Pacific plate which had caused the 7.3 earthquake, Brains was working with the architects who would be responsible for rebuilding Japan's cities to make it as close to earthquake-proof as possible, and Penelope was helping at the moment by going to events that were designed to help raise money for rebuilding places.

Today in particular had been a nightmare. Gordon was trying to get an eight-year-old child out of her mud-drenched home, when the house nearly toppled on them. It was an absolutely heart-wrenching moment when we all thought they'd be smashed to a pulp. Gordon was just coming out of the entrance for the house with the kid (later we found out her name was Annie) when it suddenly shifted. Kayo, who was nearby, had just yanked Gordon out from the house a few seconds before it was destroyed. Thank God Kayo was there.

Kayo. It was only a few days ago we learnt she was related to the Hood. It still didn't seem right. The sweet little thing that was our sister (well, adopted sister), related to the man who killed Dad. Well, I say sweet. When we were younger, she was the tough one who would put everybody in place, sure, but she was sweet in the way that only we would understand. The loyal little girl who came to the island when she was just five, practically only skin and bones, small for her age, the girl Dad had taken home with him, the girl who always sat on the stairs at mealtimes watching with constant caution, the girl what constantly sat in the shadows near Dad. I could remember Dad said he had brought somebody home, when I was 11 and Alan was nearing the age of 5. Virgil and Alan immediately hoped it was a pet. Instead, Dad just looked at the doorway, where we could just make out the outline of a girl, smaller than Alan at the time. As soon as she worked out that we were all looking at her, she backed further behind the door. Dad had called her names a few times, but it seemed she wasn't going to move. We were all told to go down to the kitchen, and whilst we all went, we could just make out Dad picking her up. From then on, she just stayed in the shadows, where she seemed comfortable and, eventually, she began to try talking to us.

Now, she was a confident girl, finally taller than Alan (who she was 18 days older than) and able to so much as punch somebody to knock them out cold. Awkwardly, we had found this out when she knocked Gordon out cold. In her defense, she probably didn't realize she could do that and he was only out for a few minutes tops. Then again, she didn't seem too shocked, either. And then we get news that she's the Hood's niece. We hadn't been able to have a massive chat with her about it because we were all called out to rescues concerning the earthquake (excluding TB3), which probably helped her, but still. The conversation once that occurred as soon as she hung up comms was awful.

"It makes no sense!"

"Actually, it does," Virgil had said rather blankly at the time.

"You're not suggesting she's ACTIVELY helping the Hood?!" I was surprised how quickly Gordon stood up for her. Normally, he's making one of his utterly painful jokes about things, and everybody would have expected one then. But instead he was quick to defend her, which was not expected, but afterwards Virgil had pointed out both of them are up and doing sports at stupid o' clock in the morning. When you look at it like that it's not surprising.

My thoughts were interrupted by the inflatable ball used for the pool was lobbed at my face. I stared out from the kitchen window I was leaning against to see Kayo and Gordon staring at me, smirking. Throwing the ball back, I walked down to the pool to see what they wanted.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," Gordon said as I walked down to him and Kayo. Gordon was swimming in his swimming trunks, whereas Kayo, sitting on the edge of the pool, was in her swimming suit and had shorts on over the top. "Came out of Dreamland to join us, did ya?"

"How long was I daydreaming for?" I asked, sitting down next to Kayo.

"'Bout ten-fifteen minutes?" She looked at Gordon for confirmation, who just nodded. Then she turned back to me, "What's on your mind?" Now how could I answer that? Just turn around to her and be there like "Yeah, I was just thinking about you and how you're the Hood's niece." Now that WOULD scare her off. Gordon started laughing.

"Probably that Marie girl or whatever her name is. Marie, Mary?"

"Marion," I mumble under my breath, seeing Gordon exchange a look with Kayo, "And I only met her once. Nothing happened. Besides, who fancies a people who try and kill you?"

"Oh come on, the only decent ones you get are the ones that try to kill ya. It's probably not personal," Kayo said, leaving receiving two dodgy looks from me and Gordon. "Just sayin," She began again, "That doesn't mean she's bad."

I didn't have the slightest clue how to answer that. Thankfully, John called at that moment, with his normal monotone speaking, "Scott, we have a situation"
