(Speckletail's P.O.V.)

I watched my newfound father, David, who rubbed his neck lightly, glanced at me as he started to explain.

"Well, your mother, Tammy met me when she was 17. We got married on her 18th birthday, despite her brothers' reactions. You came only a day before her 19th birthday, which Tammy saw you as her early present. We loved you so. You were so bubbly, giggling everyday, no matter no messes or accidents you made. Tammy used to call you 'Smiley'. Me, I called you my baby girl. Tammy was a superhero still at the time, but she always had time to see us no matter how the day felt.

I was a stay-at-home dad, playing and caring for you, and you didn't care as long as I or Tammy was there. Let's see, your power began to reveal itself when you were simply two years old, and gosh, we were happy yet scared for we had to watch you practically everywhere since you could fly and float. You seemed to have more fun then. Heck, I swore you held the record of Hide and Seek!

It was a beautiful day, and we were coming home after a morning of shopping. We went to a secret location where things are invented by one of Tammy's old friends, and that was where we got your locket. It only can open within Tammy's powers or your power. You could never take it off except for bedtime, of course. Anyway, Tammy got called, something about a condo fire downtown, and that was the last time I've had seen her or you. I still remember her saying that she'd be back for dinner and a bedtime story for you, since you loved to hear them.

I placed you in the playroom next to the kitchen, of course, it was a powerproof playpen. I was in the pantry, checking for some ingredients that I was planning to cook for dinner, when I heard a door breaking open. I dropped an can, and ran out in a sec, scared and frantic to get to you. I had a license to have a gun, and I had one in a high drawer that I had made sure you wouldn't reach. I held it out as I ran next door, and I saw them.

It was a group of three people. I couldn't tell from their masks which gender they are, but they were in the room. You seemed to know you were in danger, and cried for me. I grabbed you just as the people shot out from their guns. They had missed me greatly as I returned some shots back, striking one of them. You kept crying, as I ran to my office. I ran in, placing you on my chair, closing the door, the door filing with pierces as bullets landed.

I checked my gun and only three bullets were left. I looked at you as you stopped crying, and knew I had to protect you, praying for Tammy to forgive me. I knew I was to die, but not until my baby girl was safe.

You seemed to watch me with your eyes, you had somehow knew I had to protect you. Your power came, glowing white in your hands, and around your eyes.

I said to you in a soft, stern voice. "Remember Hide and Seek? Hide and I'll seek for you, okay? I love you, my baby girl.". I'd never forget the words you spoke.

' "Kay, Daddy. Is Mommy coming home?".' That's what you said, and I nodded yes, then you glowed white all over and disappeared. I sighed heavily and hardened my eyes determinedly, tensing to open the door, and shoot until it stops for all of us. I opened the door, fired with all the courage and bullets I had, and before I knew it, I fell to the ground, dead, my heart pierced.

I roamed the Spirit World, hearing that Tammy came to the house, and her cries were so heartbreaking that I wanted to hug and hold her, but I couldn't, due to my condition. She dove into her superhero duties harder and harsher until she saw that she felt better fighting and hurting people, and so, she turned to the evil side as Shego the villain. She partially blamed her brothers, but most of all, she blamed herself. Yet, her heart remains pure, and her soul tainted with pain and darkness.". My father finished softly.

I blinked, and exhaled a breath that I was holding, "But it wasn't her fault, or anyone's fault. It was one of these things, right?".

My father nodded, "Yes, just one of these things. But now, you're here. You must return home and find her, find the family you need. You're not alone anywhere, for you have your clan, myself, and hopefully new friends. Oh, and time had passed much slowly over there. You had been gone for 12 years. You'll be 15 again.".

I nodded, understanding what I must do. I walked forward, and hugged my father tightly. "I just found you, and now I'm gonna miss you. You've saved me, Dad. I am your baby girl no matter what age I am, 28 over at HQ Earth, or 16 back home. I love you, Daddy.".

Dad hugged me back, sighing, feeling his arms strongly, "I know, just don't forget who you really are. You're Rachel Diane Jannison.". I felt him kiss the crown of my head, and I gave a soft sob. I pulled back, my eyes moist as my father smiled, stepping back. He closed his eyes peacefully, his hands out, and suddenly disappeared in a bluish-white beam. I gave a heavy sigh, and looked at the end of the tunnel, seeing Middleton switching around with my mother, Tammy aka Shego, in her trademark outfit.

I narrowed my eyes, focused on the powerful, free feeling, and almost immediately, my hands glowed white. I began to float upward, and with a slight move, I had my legs straight, and my arms against my sides. I flew slowly, getting faster and faster. I felt peaceful and happy as I flew. A dream came true! I focused on the end of the tunnel, entering, darkness enveloping me. I blacked out, having a final thought. I hope Mom is alright.
