Hey guys, again, so sorry that I haven't updated this story in a long time. Life has been crazy lately, hopefully I'll get more into a routine and update on a regular basis. This is a shorter chapter, but I'm writing the next one right now and hopefully it'll be a little longer. Depending on what ideas come into my head for this part of the trilogy, this story might only last a couple more chapters. But never fear cause there is a third story! Enjoy!

Chapter 13

"The same area?" Kai asked. He, Dylan, Seth, Mathilda, Johnny, Quinn, Ally, Alex, Kyle and Zelda were sitting down in the Hiwatari's living room while Megan was out still at work.

"Yea." Alex nodded. "And I'm not so sure its a good idea for Meg to go back to that place. It's going to dig up a lot of horrible memories for her." Alex grimaced remembering how she didn't even recognize him.

"Yea..." Kai trailed off. He was remembering the look on Megan's face back then when she was trying to remember his and Tyson's faces. Then when she touched Tyson's cheek cause they looked alike, but she couldn't remember. Then he remembered with immense pain, when she collapsed in Tyson's arms as she tried to remember. Kai squeezed his eyes shut tightly as the memories flashed through his head.

Dylan looked over at his father as Kai fought to keep his emotion in check. Dylan knew that they all had been through so much, but out of everyone, his parents had gone through the most and his father was never good at talking to people.

"I'm home!" Megan shouted walking in. "Where is-" Megan broke off as she walked in seeing the group in the living room. "Alex! Johnny!" She smiled, but when her eyes met her husband's figure, the smile disappeared in a flash and worry replaced it. Dylan, the agent, walked in behind her, a grim expression on his face, as he knew what was going on. "What's going on?" Megan looked from Dylan to Alex, Johnny and finally her husband.

Kai opened his eyes and looked at her, a feint, fake smile on his face. "Nothing dear. We were just talking about Boris and Voltaire. About how we still don't know where Andrei is." Dylan, Seth and Mathilda looked between their parents with cautious looks on their faces. They knew their mother wouldn't fall for that, she was too smart and she could read their father like a book.

"Kai..." Megan glared. "You're completely mental if you think I'll believe that." Then she glared at Johnny as he would be the easiest to break out of the 4 men. "Spill."

Johnny sighed. "Ok, ok. Just stop looking at me like that."

"Geesh Johnny. Way to crack." Alex said, rolling his eyes.

"You should sit Meg." Johnny warned, but Megan just glared at him and he sighed, continuing. "Yuri Kensevi was kidnapped in Sweden a couple of days ago by Andrei." Johnny started. "Alex and I went to his home to see if we could pick up any clues. We found a map that showed their escape plan. We couldn't pin point the exact location of their base cause the map was ripped up, but we could tell that it was somewhere in Northern Poland. And that's where we're going now." Johnny finished.

"Northern Poland, but-" Megan's eyes went wide as she realized why she knew that area. "T-thats wh-where Voltaire's house was. Wh-where I-I was taken." Megan took a step back from them, eyes wide in fear.

Mathilda looked over worriedly at her mother as she tried to take in this information. As far as she knew, her mother never told anyone what happened to her at that house. But she did know that as time went on, more and more memories had come back to her. Memories that, when she first got them back after recovering from the serum, she couldn't remember at that time.

Megan closed her eyes tightly and dug the heels of her hands into her eyes, as if trying to dig the memories out of her skull.

Kai looked at his wife closely and in a blink of an eye he was at her side as she feinted.

"Wha-" Seth started, then he cuts himself off. How in the world did he know?

Kai took her in his arms and walked silently towards their room as the rest watched him leave.

"Has she even told Kai, Sarah, Julia, Tala or Tyson what happened to her?" Dylan, the agent, wondered out loud.

Alex shook his head. "No. I don't think so."

"She was pretty quiet about it." Johnny agreed. "Once she got all her memories back, we tried to ask her about it, but she would just clam up and change the subject."

"She needs to talk about it." Dylan pressed. "She needs to get it out or it's going to haunt her forever."

Dylan and his brother and sister looked down the hall, where their father's back had disappeared to. It would be up to Kai to crack Megan's shell and find out what happened all those years ago.

Megan regained consciousness the next morning and Kai felt her shift in the bed next to him. He propped himself up on his elbow, facing his love as she looked over at him.

"Sorry for scaring you K-K." Megan sighed, touching his face delicately with her finger tips. Kai gave her the briefest of smiles, followed by a serious expression.

"You need to tell someone Megs." Kai said softly.

Megan winced and closed her eyes tightly. "I-I can't." She whispered.

Kai's eyes soften. The one thing Megan had told him about her time at Voltaire's house was that her memory had been wiped 6 times. The most recent was 3 days before they finally rescued her. So anything could have happened to her, and that made Kai's chest tighten painfully.

"Please Megs. You know me, you can trust me. I love you sweetheart, I just want to help." Kai said softly. Megan looked up into his stormy eyes and tears fell slowly down her cheeks.

"K-K, it's painful." Megan whispered.

"I know sweetie, but you need to tell someone."

Megan nodded slowly. "After the first time they wiped my memories, Voltaire told me that I was born and raised in Russia, and that my parents died in a house fire and I was an only child. My grandparents had since passed and my parents were only children themselves. Voltaire told me that I only knew how to speak Russian, but I found myself thinking or mumbling to myself in several other languages. Though I had no idea what languages they were at the time. I had been taught history, russian, math, music, and art, but I felt that I was missing something. It was science. They did that so that I couldn't understand what they were doing to me. Voltaire told me that I had a very sheltered life as I was sick a lot as a child. Due to that, I had no friends. And I blindly believed him."

Kai nodded, he expected that much. He knew that Voltaire would try and isolate her as much as possible and keep her curiosity at a minimum.

"Voltaire claimed to be my grandfather's best friend and said that we were close. He was respectful towards me, but something deep down always gave me the chills whenever he was around. But Boris, well he was even more creepy. He never hid the fact that he hated me. At the time I had no idea why, but he let somethings slip every once and a while. Like your name or Tala or Tyson's name and thats when they had to wipe my memories again, cause I started to remember you guys." Megan smiled softly and Kai smiled back.

"So what happened?" Kai asked slowly.

"Boris, he-" Megan stopped, closing her eyes tightly. "He sexually harassed me." Kai's eyes narrowed in anger, but he didn't say anything, letting her continue. "He touched me and insulted me many times over and-" Megan stopped, choking on her tears. She brought a hand up to her mouth, keeping her sobs in. "And he beat me severely. He even went so far as to stab me."

Keeping his anger in check, Kai asked his wife a question. "Why didn't we see any scars then?"

"Boris applied this amazing healing cream that got rid of the scars, though the pain remained. It was so Voltaire never found out what happened." Megan cried. Megan's grief finally overcame her and she broke down crying in Kai's chest. Kai was pissed, but his wife needed him right now, so he held her close, swearing that he would never let go again.

"HE WHAT?" Tyson screamed. Kai nodded, his fists clenched. Kai had just told the parents what had happened to Megan. She was now sleeping somewhat peacefully as the kids were in the basement.

Tyson had screamed, while everyone else was shocked still. Tyson's eyes narrowed and he started pacing back and forth as Hilary looked at him worriedly. Hiro's eyes watched Tyson closely as he paced. Even though he and Pat were Megan's brothers, it was always Tyson that she was closest too. It was the twin bond that they shared. But while Hiro watched Tyson, Pat watched Sarah, Julia, Tala, Brooklyn and Alex. Sarah and Julia were his sister's best friends and Tala, Brooklyn and Alex were like her very over-protective brothers. The women looked scared/horrified while the guys were just plain pissed off and angry.

Tala's eyes, more then anything, were scarring Pat.

Tala knew how bad Boris was, but this was something else. And the worst part was that Boris was already dead so Tala couldn't pound in his face like he wanted to. Tala met Kai's eyes and knew that they were thinking the same thing.

Kai's heart was aching for Megan. He didn't know what he could do for her. But it did seem to help her, to talk to him, to finally let it out in the open.

"Ty, stop." Max finally said. Dylan, the agent, looked over and saw that Tyson was still pacing back and forth, anger coursing through his entire body. Dylan's eyes traveled to Ray, Johnny, Max, Kenny and Daichi. Ray, Johnny, and Max's jaws were tight with rage, while Kenny and Daichi looked like they couldn't quite digest the information. Max was trying to stop his best friend from going crazy.

"How is she now Kai?"

The question didn't come from Tyson, nor Tala or Max, Johnny, Hiro, Ray, Kenny, Daichi, Brooklyn, Pat, Sarah, Julia, or Alex. It came from Tina, who currently had tears running down her eyes as Aaron stood behind her, his hands on her hips reassuringly.

"She's sleeping, somewhat peacefully." Kai told them. "I think it helped to get it out in the open, but I don't think she's anywhere near cured. It was way worse then what Tala and I went through and it took us forever to get over it." Kai closed his eyes painfully, remembering his past.

"I know." Tina said softly. Kai and Tala looked at her in interest. Tina never talked about her past, and no one pried, especially Kai and Tala. They knew about painful pasts. Aaron, on the other hand, had mentioned his past once in a while, making a reference here and there.

But now Aaron closed his eyes, as he knew about his wife's past and why she never talked about it.

"What do you mean Ti?" Sarah asked her friend. Living in London and Dublin and now that Matt and Lily were dating, Tina and Sarah had become very close.

"I guess I might as well tell you guys. Like Meg, I've never spoken about my past. If you can't tell your closest friends your deep dark secret, who can you tell?" Tina smiled wryly. She took a deep breath and released it slowly. "Boris did the same things to me, but he had 10 years to do so, not the 3 months he had Megan. He was so angry that Megan had gotten away that he took all his anger out on me."

Kai closed his eyes and nodded. It made sense. Tina was Megan's exact clone. Tina would remind Boris of Megan and how she got away and he would beat her because he couldn't beat Megan.

"I'm so sorry Tina." A new voice said. Everyone's heads whip around to see Megan standing there. Her hair was a little disheveled and she was dressed in jeans, flip flops and a concert t-shirt.

"Meg!" Tyson sprinted towards Megan and envelops her in a hug. Megan smiled tightly and hugged her twin back.

"Hey Ty. I'm ok now. I'm ok." Megan said softly. Tyson nodded, but hugged her tighter for a moment, then stepped back. He didn't move very far though as the guys gave Megan a kiss on the cheek and the girls hugged her as Tina stayed back. Kai walked up to her and kissed her forehead, letting his lips rest there for a moment. "I'm ok K-K. Thanks for listening." Then she looked at Tina with a small, sad smile and she walked over to her, slowly enveloping her into her arms. "Hey Ti."

"Hey Meg." Tina mumbled as tears slowly fall down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry that you had to go through that Ti." Megan said softly.

"I'm sorry too Meg." Tina replied.

Mathilda watched as her brothers paced around the room, just like their uncle had. Cody sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"I'm so worried about her Cody." Mathilda said softly. As soon as Megan had collapsed, Kai had called everyone and everyone arrived overnight. "I mean, she feinted, right then and there. She never talked to anyone about what happened and now...now..." Mathilda started crying and Cody pulled her into his lap. Mathilda rested her head in the crook of his neck and cried.

"Shhhh, shhhhh. I know Mattie, I know." Cody whispered soothingly.

Lily and Matt glanced at each other and glanced at TK and Taichi, who had their heads together, whispering as they looked at Seth.

TK felt himself being watched and saw his brother and Lily looking at him and Taichi. The Kon brothers' eyes met and they nodded. TK went back to watching the Hiwatari brothers pace back and forth. If the ground wasn't cement, they would have created a ditch in the floor.

Zelda watched Seth walk back and forth, back and forth, trying to keep his emotions in check. He might be more like his mother, but he still never liked to show his inner most feelings at times like these. She was worried about him and his mother as well.

"Dlwan." Kara pouted. Dylan stopped his pacing and glanced at the youngest in the room. "Wha wong wit Aunwie Meggy?"

Everyone glanced at her, worried and sad. Kara didn't understand what was going on and she really shouldn't know.

Dylan smiled softly and squatted down in front of the little girl. "Auntie Megan is fine Kar. She just doesn't feel too good right now. She's a little sick."

Kara nodded. "Cans I help?" She asked, hope in her eyes. Everyone smiled softly, she was such a sweet girl.

"Of course." Dylan smiled. "You can give her a kiss on the cheek next time you see her."

"Ok!" Kara smiled brightly.

Master, Drakima sends word that Mistress Megan is awake. Wyvern appeared on Dylan's shoulder. Everyone wishes to speak to you all. She reported.

"Thanks Wyvern, tell Mom that we will be up right away." Dylan told his partner. Wyvern nodded and disappeared in a flash of light. "Come on guys, lets see whats going on."

The kids walked up the stairs and headed towards the living room where their parents were.

"Aunwie Meggy!" Kara smiled as she ran towards Megan. Megan smiled brightly at the sight of her youngest niece and gathered her in her arms.

"Hey Kara sweetie."

"Dlwen says that I can give you a kiss to make you feel better?" Kara asked, cocking her head to the side. The adults smiled softly as Megan nodded. Kara kissed her cheek as the kids sat down.

"What's going on Mom?" Dylan asked.
