Bunker, December 24th, 2027.

Her eyes opened to a world of darkness, where was she, why was she here, what happened? Had she been captured? No, she remembers reaching the Safe House, then was she in the Safe House? She tried to move but her body didn't answer her command, she waited a few seconds then tried again, but this time it barely moves, like she was trapped under something hot and soft. She was worried for a second until she noticed that her body was just covered with what was probably a blanket or something similar.

She moved her arm out of the blanket, with more difficulty than she expected... What was happening to her, she never felt this weak before, in fact never in her life, she could remember a time when she felt this weak. After a few more minutes, she was able to pull out her other arm, she was exhausted...
She then took a couple of a deep breath, then pulled herself to a sitting position, but the world started to spin around her eyes, and she fell back on the bed, out of breath but now with a strong desire to empty her stomach on the ground... She thought to her *That was a bad idea...*

That was a bad idea..." said a man's voice in the darkness.

Someone was here, but her eyes didn't seem to adjust to the lack of light, she blinked a few times, but it didn't work either.

"Close your eyes, I'll switch on the light."

That voice, it was him, the voice she always trusted, she closed her eyes as he demanded, and after a second, she could see that the light was on behind her eyelids.

"You can open your eyes now, I'll help you to sit up, but we will do it slowly, also you're still under the effect of narcotics so don't push yourself."

Narcotics? was she hurt or something? she felt no pain, but she put her question aside for the moment and opened her eyes slowly. At first everything was a shapeless explosion of colors, but after blinking her eye several times, everything started having shapes again, the bed she was in, the room around her, the drawer at the end of her bed, and then on a chair at her left, with a worried look on his single eye, was Wade walking closer to her, staring, probably scanning her for anything that could be wrong with her.

But she was fine, if not exhausted... and hungry now that she thought of it. But first thing first.

"Where*cough* are*cough**cough*" Woaw her voice was raspy like she didn't talk for a week.

"Here", he said, bringing a small cup of water to her lips, "drink some, slowly."

She drank all of it, and resume the question. "Where are we?"

So there we go, he thought, no denying, straight to the point as always Load." At the Bunker."

"The Bunker? What happened? I don't remember, anything after ruining to the Safe House.

"You passed out, wounded, I carried you here, since, you could have been followed, in your attempt to reach the Safe House," he said matter of factly.

"Wounded? I don't even..." and then it all came back to her in a flash.

***She was taking down sentinels after sentinels with ease, and even enjoyed fighting side by side with her mother. She was next to her behind another rock, she had just finished taking news from team Alpha, and everything was going according to plan... then a few minutes after the call, something gigantic, crashed in front of her, projecting her feet away, at first she thought of a Goliath, and prepared herself to fight the new of enemy, but what came out of the hole in the ground, was not a Goliath, but something almost twice the size of one, and even if the class of this one was undeniably a SwordsMan, the lack of savage like behavior separate him from them all, and well, the red glow was a DEAD giveaway, this... This was a General, and it just walks to her Blade ready, he slashed to her but escaped being sliced in half because her mother tackled her to safety.

"Run Jade Run, go to the Safe House, NOW!" Shego yelled.

Jade got up and saw that the General was getting ready for another attack but against her mom now, she wanted to help, she had too, but then her mother turned to her and said with a beautiful smile on her face... " Just go, I'll join you later"

At that Jade nodded and ran as fast as she could, to the mall where everybody had to be, but seeing nobody coming, except a few patrols, she ran all the way to the Safe House, not even noticing the huge gash on her stomach that the general's blade left on her...***

"Jade. Jade? Jade!"

"What?"

"You looked like you passed out, again."

He really looked worried. "I'm just exhausted I guess..."

"Ok, but you should rest tonight, we'll talk tomorrow then."

Then it happened.

"Wade*cough*, where are my parents?

He knew it would come, he just hoped it would happen after she had completely recovered, well... he promised not to lie.

"They both died..." he said, calmly.

"What? I didn't..."

A little stronger, this time. "They both di..." but he didn't finish his sentence, as he found, himself pinned to the wall, in front of him stood not a weak girl filled with sadness and tears running down her cheeks, but a very angry young woman with her body covered with what looked like black scales, maintaining him in position a good two feet above the ground with her two hands.

A voice sounding like a mix between a deep man's voice and the sound an old cracking tree would make in the wind came out of her.

"WHAT... DID... YOU... SAY...!"
