"Flight number 2109 bound from Dublin to Tokyo, landing at Gate 3."
"Wow, Mama! Look at everyone around us! They look so different from the people in Ireland!"
"Mama, why did you stop? What's wrong? Are you sure it's nothing?"
"Look, mama! our bags!"
"Yes I can carry my own bag, Mama! I'm four years old!"
We're going by Taxi? Yay! A Taxi!"
"Mama, where are we going to go?"
Natasha Ascott smoothed a hand over her daughter's brown curls in an attempt to tame them, lovingly staring at her joyous delight at all the new sights around them.
"We're going to a friend's house, and then we'll go to the house I have picked out for us. It's a nice apartment, bigger than the one we had in Dublin! You can keep all your toys there," she said, with a smile strained on her face.
Yes, she loved her daughter's delight, but coming back to Tokyo wasn't really the best thing to do, in her opinion. Not after what happened five years ago. But she had a score to settle, and she needed to be done with this to continue with her life. Whatever little of a life it was, considering Natasha spent the last five years hiding her strengths from the world, and her daughter. When her daughter was born, she'd hoped she wouldn't have inherited anything from her or her father, but she not only had gained her mother's mutation, but also her father's super strength. And this worried her.
If, and knowing them, when Yagiri pharmaceuticals would approach her and her daughter, to torture and conduct experiments on them, she wanted to know they were coming. And wanted to settle the score with them. She wanted to end them, and their twisted ways of messing with people's lives under the pretext of medical research.
And that is why she came back to Ikebukuro. To stop this chase around the world. To live a free life, devoid of running and 'hiding. Devoid of anger and hate. Those who underestimated the love a mother has for her child, a woman has for her lover, a mutant has for its acceptance, would pay dearly.
She wanted to destroy the company that destroyed her relationship with her lover.
She wanted her daughter to be safe, and live in a world where she wouldn't have to hide anymore.
And a tiny part of her, that she tried not to let to the surface, wanted to be in the strong arms of her lover, with his cigarette smoke and his blonde dyed hair.
