Hurricane Irene was a wicked storm, producing a 10 foot storm surge and 85 mph winds that roared past the summer home of our and Dad had both disappeared into the waves yesterday, striking me with terrible grief for our late father. It wasn't helped by the fact Xavier and Caliber resented Dad ever since the Great Split over a year ago. Yuki also disappeared into some kind of wormhole yesterday. Owen was crying his load of tears over Mom's death, and only Ozzy comforted him, which was sad to see, though X did shed a single tear, which did show he had a little compassion in him left. Though now it was my time for exile, as X had done previously, and I know the perfect place to begin..

1 month later….

It's been a few weeks since I left the Garden State behind and already Im having bad luck, having been chased off a farm by the police after raiding it for food and injuring a calf, alerting the farmer of my presence. Since then I've been re-teaching myself how to fish and gather food like how Father taught back in the camping trip back in 1998. And I'm hoping to reach Maine soon….

(A/N Huge Timeskip incoming…)

6 years later….

It's been quite a long time since I went into exile, and now seems like an excellent time to return home. I've set up a small camp called Rock Mountain on the border with New Hampshire. I've heard reports of Xavier being reformed and wish to see them for myself.

Third Person POV

Devon began his trek back to New Jersey, taking a week to navigate the Mountains before encountering the Hudson river and swimming down towards New York City, avoiding large boats along the way. After entering open sea, Devon turned towards Sandy Hook, landing after a day of surfing and avoiding sharks. He swam again to the Middlesex County Coast and began the trek south to Ozzy's secluded Millville cabin. He would arrive two days later, ready to reunify with family.
