Mother!
Prelogue
Six years after the natives of Pandora and their human allies, watched those that were forced to go, and the few scientists that could have stayed but wanted to return to their families leave their Eden, the 15 billion humans of planet earth two different stories. The owners and stockholders of RDA wanted to return and regain what they considered their property from the Na'vi. However, they were quickly stalled. The scientists who returned told the story of the Na'vi, an intelligent race that did not wish their planet to be defiled in an effort to gain the minerals beneath the surface. They went all the way to the global government organization, who ordered that Pandora was to be protected, and that meant that no one could land on Pandora without the consent of the local population.
The RDA put billions of dollars to stop that piece of legislation. What they failed to take into account was that the mother of Jake Sully was the widow of Senator John McKenzie. They had met and married not long after Sully had left and had taken his seat ten years after that when her husband died in a car accident. She singlehandedly spearheaded the legislation that protected the land and people that her son fought for six years before.
The diplomatic leaders of earth wanted to return to Pandora to be able to salvage a relationship with the Na'vi. So in a calculated move, Samantha Sully Mackenzie was chosen as the head diplomat. She agreed on the condition that there would be no corporate interest in the mission. So the small diplomatic team left with a group of scientists that wanted to study the plants and animals of Pandora and supplies for long term living on Pandora if they were allowed to stay.
Sam Mackenzie woke up after six years of sleep that felt like moments. She prayed that her son was still well and happy after fifteen years on Pandora. She moved to the front of the ship and gasped at the gorgous site of the green planet haloed by the gas giant that it orbited. She took a deep breath and activated the radio and hope that there was someone there to answer. "Pandora this is Diplomatic Earth Ship 1. We are requesting permission to allow out party of diplomats and scientists to land."
Waiting seconds that seemed like an eternity a voice came on the other end, "Diplomatic Earth Ship 1, please wait in orbit for 48 hours. We will contact you then with an answer. Pandora out."
Almost exactly 48 hours after the initial contact the radio came alive, "Diplomatic Earth Ship 1, this is Pandora."
"Pandora this is Diplomatic Earth Ship 1, we receive you.
"Diplomatic Earth Ship 1, one unarmed shuttle has been granted permission to land. No one in your party is allowed to bring weapons of any kind. The Na'vi reserve the right to tell anyone to leave the planet. Pandora out."
The shuttle was loaded with the group of diplomats and scientists along with as many of the supplies that would fit. On queue the group put on their masks and watched as the ramp lowered. Senator Mackenzie lead the group. While in the pictures the 'hells gate' was a flat gravel courtyard with walls, after fifteen years, the walls had been torn down and the human colony looked more like the surrounding area.
There was a group of humans and the ten feet tall Na'vi waiting for them as they entered. The male Na'vi at the center stepped forward, "Mom?"

A/N: I welcome input… and to anyone who wonders why a senator's son couldn't afford to have his legs fixed… remember that she didn't marry the senator until after he left (there's about 21 years between the beginning of the story when Jake leaves earth and when Sully's mom arrives at Pandora.) I hope you enjoyed and I'm working on the next chapter!
