Outside the Suarez house, a moving truck is waiting. Movers are putting Frida's stuff in it while waiting for Frida. Inside the house, Frida is coming out of her old room with two suitcase bags and a guitar case. As she is heading downstairs, she is stopped by her mother.

Carmela said with her hand on Frida's shoulder"Is there nothing I can say to change your mind?"

Frida said "I think you know the answer to that."

Carmela said "Where will you go?"

Frida said "Sophia got me a place to stay. I'm going to live there from now on."

Carmela said "Frida, I know what you experienced was the worst possible experience and it never should have happened; but you don't have to leave like this because of it. We can help you through this."

Frida said with a cold tone "You mean you and Chief Suarez. "

Carmela said "He's your father, Frida. He loves you and would never hurt you."

Frida said "But he'll hurt others who he, the H-Laws, and other government official like yourself deem a threat, or in their eyes criminals. Sure, he loves me alright. Goodbye mom." She then walked out of the house and closed the door.

As soon as Frida walked out the door, Carmela feel to the ground and started to cry.

Frida, still infuriated at the sight of her father, clenches her fist in anger at the sight of her father. She was about to use her guitar's power, but Manny stopped her.

Manny said grabbing Frida by the wrist "Frida, you can't."

Frida said "Why not."

Manny said while pointing to a drone in the air "That's why. That drone over there belongs to a hero team called Plans for the Future. If they catch us beating on your dad we're finished; never mind the December Truce, these guys are way out of our league all by ourselves."

Frida said "Let's just get what we came for and go."

The two headed for the stadium to dig up the guitar. In order to avoid any unnecessary security problems, they messed with the electrical systems by using Ocean Rocker's guitar to sneak water in and cause a blackout over the entire stadium and caused everyone to evacuate. With the lights out, they sneaked into the stadium; El Tigre used his night vision powers and Ocean Rocker used night vision goggles to see. After using the gems to find the location of the guitar, they found it in the middle of the stadium and El Tigre digged it up quickly. He found it after digging at least 30 feet underground and gave the guitar to Ocean Rocker. The guitar is all black with white spots all over it along with slots on the back for all the gems. The two made a quick getaway just in the knick of time before the power came back on.

On a rooftop, the two are placing the gems into the guitar and watches as it shines brightly from being completed and then it stops shining.

El Tigre said "I sort expected something more epic after completion."

Ocean Rocker said as she inspects it "Same here. Oh well, we have it now. I'll send a message to Miriam saying that we've go it."

Noticing her upset expression, El Tigre placed his hand on her hand and said "Frida, are you ok?"

Ocean Rocker said "Yeah, I'm ok."

El Tigre said "Go see her. I know you want to at least see her after a long time. You don't even have to go as yourself."

Ocean Rocker said "I would but Chief Suarez….."

El Tigre said "Leave him to me." He notices some thugs in an alley

Back in the alleyway, Emiliano and Carmela are carrying a lot of stuff after a long day of shopping. As they are packing their car, a thief that Manny paid off grabbed for his wallet and made sure that he noticed that.

Emiliano shouted "Hey you punk, get back here with my wallet!"

Said the thief as he ran away "You have to catch me first, stupid."

Emiliano said "I'll be back, Carmela."

Carmela said "Go get him."

Said a voice not too far from Carmela "Dang it. Stupid thing is acting up again. Where is it?" Carmela noticed the voice near a tree and messing with a guitar. This caused her to walk toward her.

Carmela said "Um, excuse me but are you ok?" Frida looks at her ever so slightly; her mother unable to recognize her because of her disguise changed her face, hair, and eyes enough so her mother would not recognize her and a voice changer that she had.

Frida said trying to tune Soul Cleanser "Yeah, just having trouble tuning this stupid guitar; it's new so I'm not used to it."

Carmela asked "So, you play guitar? Are you in a band?"

Frida said "Obviously I play guitar. As for being in a band, I am in one; even have a cool name for it. You seem interested in my guitar. Why did you assume I was in a band?"

Carmela said "I don't' know. You see I have a daughter who was in a band called the Atomic Sombreros. They were a small time band that was suppose to become the biggest band in all the world until they broke up. My daughter took it rather hard."

Frida asked "What's your daughter's name?"

Carmela said "Her name is Frida; Frida Suarez. This is a picture of her when she was only 13; it's one of my favorites to carry around. It helps me know that she's close to my heart."

Frida said "I take it you don't see her as much." She knew that it has been a while since she last saw her mother up close after leaving Miracle City without a word.

Carmela said "Not since she graduated high school; I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye."

Frida asked knowing the answer "Did something happen to make her leave without saying goodbye?"

Carmela explained "Yes. My husband and a few other politicians and a hero team called the H Laws used his idea for a new prison complex designed to not only lock up regular criminals and super criminals; it was also meant to be used to put them through all the pain that they put innocent people in. Unfortunately, the plan was used on children under the guise that it would help them find careers and plan for their futures and she became a casualty in it. The thing her father planned on using to punish criminals and protect the innocent was used on our own daughter."

Frida asked "Do you hate him for it?" She already knew the answer would be no

Carmela said "No. Because I know it wasn't his fault; Emiliano would never do this to his own daughter. He loves Frida and would do anything to see her again. Just knowing that she's alive isn't enough."

Frida asked "Not to be a downer, but how do you know she's alive?"

Carmela showing her a blue candle "This candle. Believe it or not, it's a special candle that can track of a person's life. A woman I know, Alice Grainger, gave it to me and Emiliano as a way to let us know that she's alive; the candle would set on fire if she's on the verge of death or about to die.. She said that she could try tracking her for us but she's been unable too."

Frida asked "Hypothetically, if you saw her again, if she were found, what would you do?"

Carmela said "I don't know. Instinctively, I would want her to just stay with us again; but she's an adult now so that would be selfish of me to ask. I'd also smack her for leaving without saying goodbye and not letting me throw her a graduation party like I did for her sisters. But more importantly, I would want her and Emiliano to make up. However, if nothing else, I hope to see her have someone special with her."

Frida asked "You mean like a boyfriend?"

Carmela said "I would go more with husband, but I would settle for boyfriend too. Although, there is someone in particular that I would want her to be with if that's the case. He's a boy that's been in Frida's life and was always there for her, especially when we (her family) weren't. As long as she's with him, or at least someone like him, then I can be happy and know that she is happy. I'm sorry that I've been rambling. Your a complete stranger and you had to listen to an old lady's sob story."

Frida said "It's fine, don't worry about it."

Carmela asked "What's your name, sweety?"

Frida said giving her a fake name "Francis. You can call me Francis."

Carmela said "Nice to meet you, Francis."

Frida said noticing a signal from El Tigre that her father is coming back "I have to go now. My boyfriend is here to pick me up. Later."

With that said Frida left her mother to meet up with Manny on the roof. Her father met up with her mother after getting his wallet back and the two drove off in their car. Manny and Frida left the scene too and set course for the hideout.

Back at the hideout, Frida in the pool on her back and looking at the stars. Manny then walks toward the edge of the pool to check on her.

Manny asked "You feeling alright?"

Frida said "Yeah, I'm fine. Just, seeing my mom like that got to me a bit. I've been doing the whole lying thing for a while now, but doing it to her left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth."

Manny said "You could always see her as you next time. No one knows that Frida Suarez and Ocean Rocker are one in the same especially since you (and other new supervillains) are protected by the Villain Secret Identity Protection Agency."

Frida said "Even if that's true, there is no way that she'd let me go. Personally, it's better that she and my sisters never see me again. I guess you could say it's like you and your mom."

Manny said "True."

Frida said "Besides, I've always got you, Sophia, Miriam, my bandmates, Jazzy Beats, D.J. Time King, and Abiola. You guys are my family."

Manny said "Thanks. Wait, who's Abiola?"

Frida said playfully as she swam away "Wouldn't you like to know."

Manny said "Tell me." He then got into the water and swimmed toward Frida

Frida said "You have to make me tell you."

Manny said "Fine then." He then jumped on her and the two dived into the water together. The two then came out of the water and Manny is tickling her. Frida tries to resist but can't so she does the next best thing to get him to stop. She kisses him on the lips.

Back in Spain, Carmela is looking out the window at the moon. She then looks a picture of her and Frida from a locket. She then revealed another picture with Frida and Manny from when they were dating and were going to a dance at their school. She says "I hope you two are together, somewhere."

Other than shorts that I do when I don't feel like doing a full chapter, the next Frida related chapter will focus on what I've been building up for her since I made her into Ocean Rocker. It's been a long time coming so now it will be time to start it.
