Hi. I really hope someone actually ends up reading this chapter or I'll feel like an idiot. :P Anyway, 2 updates in a week...

Fire really wasn't sure how she had gone from fighting the Empire to sitting in a small home with a cup of warm shig along with the rest of Havoc being introduced to a family that she never knew existed, but it felt pretty nice to finally relax.
When Misty had first entered her childhood home, she had been tackled by a little Twi'lek girl who she was pretty sure had briefly shrieked, "9". A more subdued Chiss girl had followed behind the little tumble of energy, briefly exchanging a hug while insisting that she HAD NOT missed her foster mother and was completely indifferent towards her return.
Misty just gave her a sly grin and didn't object to her statement, rather opting to introduce the both to her as "Aunt Fire". The little twi'lek, who she had now learned was named May shrieked with joy and pulled her into a large embrace; The older one – Shade had chosen to simply shake hands with her, in a cordial gesture of respect. Misty had whispered that Shade was "going through a rebellious phase" and would warm up to her later. Fire had found this ironic considering that they were part of a rebellion themselves.
Slowly she took a sip of the herbal drink in her hand. (Reya had insisted that it was good for the soul and all but shoved it into her hands.) Meanwhile, Elara feeling completely out of place had opted to visit the medical tent in the hopes that she could find new forms of medicine. Jorgan and Tanno had been handed over to Torian for a hunt, so that Reya could get to know her niece. Misty had excused herself, most likely to check on whatever had triggered the alarms on her ship. May had crawled onto her lap and promptly fallen asleep. Shade had excused herself to her room and Misty predicted that she was most likely reading a book. Reya had shown her the guest room, and then gone off to sleep leaving Fire alone.
Fire gently eased May off her lap, and headed off to find her sister. She had been gone for far too long. She found her inside a suspiciously Imperial looking ship in the dark rewinding and watching a security tape over and over. Fire flicked on the lights, but the elder girl barely noticed, instead transfixed by the footage. Fire leaned forward to watch what had her sister so transfixed. From what she could tell, a man with short blond hair, pale skin, and blue eyes had broken into her ship. When he turned to face the security camera, she could see a large scar bisecting his cheek. He flashed a dramatic smile as though this were all a game, and whispered one word: iconoclasm.
Misty turned toward her, her eyes shining dully with tears. "No,", she whispered, "She was dead. I killed her. I won. It was over. No…", her voice trailed off, "Not again. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free." Fire paused before asking, "What's this about, Misty? What's iconoc-". Misty whirled, slamming her hand over Fire's mouth keeping her from completing her sentence. "Don't ever say that word", she growled.

Sooo... You must be really confused. Explanation time! But first, any guesses on our visitor. It should be fairly obvious if you've played the IA storyline.
Shig- a mandalorian herbal drink
Recap for the IA story: In the last chapters of the IA story, the agent reprograms their Castellan Restraints to respond to the word iconoclasm. (For those are you who are still confused. The link below will explain.)
