To the reviewer who is too cowardly to sign in with an account and instead leaves me constant guest reviews, don't you dare threaten me with questions about shipping characters. Stop reviewing my fanfics with Kayo and Scott requests, please. If you want to send me a direct message, login not as a guest, otherwise that's enough please, every review you leave me is the same and it's getting really annoying.

Thank you everyone else for your kind words of support and encouragement xxxxxxxxxxx

Birds chirped as they flew over the house mid-morning and Kayo looked up at them as she ran along the forest path, she jogged up the steps to the house and into the kitchen where John was making brunch for himself.

"Hey."

"Morning, want some?"

"What are you making?" Kayo asked as she poured a glass of orange juice out for herself.

"Just cereal, there's some bread in the toaster. Where's Scott?"

"In bed still, you saw how drunk he got last night," she smirked, "I don't think your dad is very impressed but Brains gave him a pill so he'll be fine."

John smirked, "what about Gordon?"

Kayo grabbed one of the toasted slices of bread and put it down on a plate before spreading honey on it, "ha, he scored big with Penny, I don't think they got to sleep till about two."

"Wow. I guess they're not going anywhere today then."

"Nope," Kayo smiled, "when are you going back up to Thunderbird 5 permanently?"

"Sick of me already?"

"Of course not, but at some point we have to get back into the routine of the organisation."

"Yeah, I know," John nodded with a smirk, "it just feels weird having dad back, but it's a good feeling."

Kayo nodded, "I understand."

Scott jogged down the steps, "morning!"

"Someone's chirpy," John smiled.

"I owe Brains my life for inventing those hangover pills, I feel great. Where is everyone?"

"I think people are just sleeping in," Kayo smiled as he hugged her shoulders, "I'm going to have a quick shower, could you put some coffee on?"

Scott sighed dramatically, "I suppose so."

The morning went on and eventually, almost everyone was up, Virgil was painting in the lounge as the sunshine lit up his canvas and Scott was writing up his latest report with Jeff, John sat at the piano playing to himself and Alan was in the pool soaking up the midday sunshine when serenity was suddenly broken by a heart wrenching scream. Scott shot to his feet, his eyes darting up at the rooms above the lounge.

"That was Kayo," he ran from the room followed by Virgil and Jeff who were both looking worried. The trio ran up to the corridor of rooms and saw a hole in the wall opposite Scott's room, a rock lay on the floor covered with plaster and the eldest walked into the bedroom, Kayo was curled up on the floor shaking with sobs and he noticed a crack in the mirror where she had thrown a photo frame at it, Virgil picked it up and saw it was a photo of her father.

"Kayo, sweetheart what's happened?" Scott knelt beside her then fell backwards as she threw herself into his arms crying harder, "Kayo?"

"He killed him..he killed..him!"

Jeff held Virgil's shoulder, "Tanusha, what's happened?"

Kayo wept as Scott rocked her against his body, "my father..he killed...my father."

"Who has your father killed?" Virgil asked.

Jeff shook his head as the realisation hit him, "no Virgil, he hasn't killed anyone. Kyrano," he paused, "is dead."

Kayo sobbed, "the GDF said it was a heart attack..that's not true..it was the Hood, it's got to be."

Scott stretched his legs out as he pulled her onto his lap sitting with his back against the bed, "shh, Kayo I am so so sorry baby, so sorry."

Virgil felt tears brimming in his eyes, "we'll see you in the lounge," he tugged his father's arm and they walked back to the main room, "the Hood was locked up, how could he have killed Kyrano?"

"The spy in the GDF you mentioned. I'll have Lady Penelope look into it immediately. Virgil, break it to the others gently and tell them not to go looking for Kayo, Scott knows what to do."

"But Dad?"

"Virgil, he like all of you has been through something similar, let him do this."

Scott left Kayo sitting on the bed as he grabbed the box of tissues off the dresser, "here. Did you cut yourself?"

Kayo shook her head, "no. I'm not hurt," she looked up, "Scott, he's dead, I'm an orphan," she trembled, "this time I'm going to kill him."

"No, don't go after him."

"Scott, he murdered my father, it wasn't a heart attack, he must have wanted something," she sniffed but her eyes filled with tears again.

"You're not an orphan, you've got us. I know that doesn't really make things better," he sat down on the edge of the bed with her wrapping his arm around her shoulders, she rested her head against his chest and he sighed, "when did you get off the line with Casey?"

"About ten minutes ago, she told me one of their officers found him on the ground and called the emergency services. Scott, it's utter crap! There was no reason for the GDF to ever be there, I was going to pick him up from the airport tomorrow."

Scott stroked her head as she gripped his jeans with her fingers, "what?"

"That was the arrangement, he was packing today and would make his way to City Airport tomorrow. I was going to take the jet and bring him home," she swallowed hard, "it was going to be a surprise."

"Oh sweetheart," he whispered sorrowfully as a sob cut off her words again.

"Someone..knew, and it was my uncle," she hiccuped, "his own brother ordered his death."

"I'm going to make you a chamomile tea, lie down sweetheart, I'll be back soon, okay?"

Kayo nodded and crawled up to the pillows as Scott lay a blanket over her, "it hurts."

"I know, believe me, I really know," Scott sighed before kissing her neck, "I'll be back I promise," he walked back to the lounge where Virgil was sitting on the edge of the table with his brothers around him, "hey."

John wrapped his arms around him, "is she okay?"

Scott shook his head as he held his brother tightly, "no, she's not okay," he looked up at Lady Penelope who turned back to face the sofas after getting off a holo call with the GDF, she was still wearing her bedclothes and he noticed Gordon wasn't wearing a shirt, Penelope smiled gravely at him then walked over to Jeff's desk where the man was sitting hunched over looking through reports mentioning the GDF spy.

"Sir, Colonel Casey confirms she got a call from a soldier named Simmons, she doesn't know whether he is the spy or not but it seems very likely."

"What about the Hood?" Scott asked.

"What about him?"

"Kayo suspects her uncle was behind Kyrano's death," he frowned as he jogged up the steps then round to the desk.

"The Hood, but he's in prison?"

Scott shrugged, "do we know that for sure?"

"Scott, what are you saying?" Virgil asked standing up from the table.

"We saw him be led away with the Chaos Crew but not what happened after that."

Kayo walked into the lounge, her eyes were bloodshot red and her cheeks pink from rubbing the tears away, "I want in on this discussion, or I'm launching Shadow," she walked down the steps and sat down on one of the sofas curling her legs up under her, Virgil sat down beside her wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

John turned to face his portrait, "EOS?"

"Yes John?"

"Hack into the GDF's holding cells."

"John, that's a violation, you could get into trouble."

"EOS, do it, I'll cover my son if he gets into trouble," Jeff smiled and EOS flashed green.

"Yes, Mr Tracy, who are you looking for?"

"The Hood."

EOS flashed pink three times, "searching...I have him, opening the link for you now."

The Hood looked straight up into the camera and smirked, his voice suddenly filled the room, "they never got rid of the cybernetics. Hello, Jeff."

Jeff snarled, "you're a murderer."

"I did what needed to be done, how else would I obtain this power? A power which I now share."

Kayo looked up angrily, "you killed him, your own brother, and my father."

"Yes, as I said, it was necessary."

"I'm going to kill you, uncle," Kayo hissed.

"Oh really Tanusha, and how are you going to do that when I'm locked away?" He looked away for a moment then laughed, "I have plans, International Rescue," he cut the feed.

Jeff nodded as he stood up, "he won't come after us immediately, and you're not to go after him Kayo."

"Then what do I do?" she asked tearfully as Virgil rubbed her shoulder, "I don't have anything to look forward to now, I don't have a father."

Jeff smiled, "you have me, and my boys. I've always seen you as a daughter," he opened his arms out to her and she ran up to him.

"Thank you."

Jeff sighed as he hugged her and his sons smiled, "let's get the kettle on."

Kayo hugged a mug of chamomile in her hands as she sat at the kitchen table, her heart wouldn't stop pounding and she felt sick to her stomach, Scott sat beside her stroking her leg over and over as Jeff looked over any reports mentioning the spy within the GDF.

"Maybe it was the Mechanic again?"

Brains frowned, "no, Amare is not under the Hood's p-power anymore, I m-made sure of that."

"Why would he kill my dad now, what stopped him years ago?" Kayo asked quietly and closed her eyes, unnoticed to everyone apart from Virgil, a spoon moved across the table without anyone touching it.

"I'm m-more interested to know what the Hood meant by o-obtained power."

Kayo shook her head, "I don't know," she looked up and her eyes glowed blue.

"Whoa, Kayo!" Gordon yelped as he pushed his stool back.

"What?"

"Your eyes, they're blue!"

Kayo blinked and they returned to the usual apple green, "you're not making sense, none of this makes sense."

"You're telling me."

Brains stroked his chin, "K-Kayo, would you mind if I ran a few tests on you?"

Kayo leapt up, "what is this?"

"Kayo, sweetheart, relax," Scott held his hand out to her and she backed up.

"No-one is testing on anyone," Jeff frowned, "I'll speak to the world council about this, and in the meantime, we're going to set the organisation up again properly."

"I'll return to Thunderbird 5 dad," John stood up, "I'll visit again soon," he hugged him tightly then took the stairs down to the hangar.

Brains nodded, "yes sir, I'll be in the lab if anyone needs me," he left the others in the kitchen talking and opened a web page up about hypnosis, he settled back into his chair in the lab and called a number on the holo system, "Amare, it's Hiram."

"Brains, how are you?"

"Very well, Jeff Tracy is back to himself which is g-good to see."

"What can I help you with?"

"There's been a murder."

Amare, formally the Mechanic, frowned, "that's pretty serious Brains, what's happened?"

"Kyrano is dead, he was m-murdered in his London studio flat yesterday morning, the Hood is the top suspect."

"Brains, he's in prison, like the Chaos Crew."

"He controlled you from within a cell before, perhaps he's done it again."

Amare sighed, "how can I assist?"

"C-could you feel when you were being hypnotised or made to work under someone else's con-control?"

"Not always, but I could watch my actions and a part of me knew what I was doing was wrong. Why?"

"I believe the spy in the GDF is working under the Hood's control instead of his own, it's very likely the Hood is behind the initial attack but I don't think the man who killed Kyrano properly was doing so willingly."

"What else?"

"That's it."

"I can keep an eye on him if International Rescue would like?"

Brains shook his head, "he knows we're watching him."

"Understood, keep me in the loop."

Kayo sat on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff staring out at the ocean, never had she felt so empty until now, a piece of her was dead and it would never come back, she never got to say goodbye and now he was gone, tears rolled down her cheeks and she buried her head in her arms, sand rose into the air around her turning into a twister and from the beach Scott watched horrified, he turned on his heel and sprinted back to the lounge.

"Dad, something is wrong with Kayo!" He burst into the room out of breath.

"Of course there is, she's just lost her dad son."

"No no, she's lifting sand without moving, I can't explain it."

Gordon nodded, "it's the eye thing, think about what the Hood said about obtaining a power, he said shared power."

"What are you two talking about?" Jeff raised an eyebrow.

Lady Penelope bit the edge of her lip thoughtfully, "it all sounds a bit like a film scenario but what if this power is more than just hypnosis? Maybe Kyrano had something more and the Hood wanted it."

Virgil pushed the piano stool out, "why aren't we moving?" He ran down to the pool the way Scott had come from and looked out to the beach where Kayo was throwing rocks, the sand was still and everything looked normal to his eyes, but he approached her cautiously, "Kayo?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you alright?"

Kayo looked round at him, "I'm fine, I guess."

"I'm really sorry about your dad, if you need anything, we're here for you."

Kayo smiled and wrapped her arms around him sighing unhappily, "it's nice to be with people who understand what I'm going through."

"More than you know, I felt like this when our mom died. I wanted to rip the world in half because I felt it had stolen something from me."

"How do you stop it hurting?"

Virgil held her tightly, "by helping others, the rescue business, if I can save someone's life I feel like I've spared them from going through this pain."

Kayo nodded, "then maybe that'll help me."

"Kayo, take your time, you've only just found out."

"No, I need to move on, and going after the Hood will give me closure. Your dad is right, we need to restart International Rescue," she ducked out of his arms, "coming?" She walked back up the beach path and Virgil took one last look at the patch of sand she had been sitting on before following her.

"John, I'm so glad you're back."

"Glad to be back too EOS. Any calls?"

"Plenty, but I wasn't sure if you were operational again or not."

John sat back in his chair, "any priority calls?"

"Two came through this morning but they are being taken care of, one has just come through now."

John tapped his foot thoughtfully, "let me hear it."

"Yes John."

"International Rescue, please assist? We've lost two teenagers on Mt Cook, we fear they have been caught up and can't get down."

"EOS, patch me through to them."

"Yes John."

"International Rescue receiving you, do you still need us?"

"Oh thank god," they turned from the camera, "Harry, they've answered! Yes, please help, we're at base camp but they haven't come back."

"Understood, we'll launch as soon as we can, Mt Cook?"

"That's right, thank you so much."

"Standy, we'll be there shortly. International Rescue, we have a situation."

Scott looked up as Jeff smiled, "go ahead John."

John smiled "haven't heard you say that in a long time. We have a call. Mt Cook, two teenagers have gone missing on a climb, they could be anywhere."

Scot nodded, "Thunderbird 1 dad?"

"Yes, take off now and I'll scramble Virgil to join you."

"I'm going too," Kayo jogged down the steps into the ring, "I need something to distract me."

Scott shook his head at his father before he could protest, "FAB, let's go."

Virgil ran into the lounge as Scott pulled the lamps down, "mission?"

"Take Thunderbird 2 Virgil, Mt Cook is your location."

"I'm on my way."

Jeff watched them go, "good luck boys, Kayo."

Kayo hacked into the GDF prison again as she followed the fleet in Shadow, "hello uncle."

"Tanusha, you've just caught me on my break."

"If you want me I'll be on Mt Cook."

"And how do you think I'm going to find you when I'm stuck in here?"

"You're lying, I don't believe you're in prison, show me your surroundings."

The Hood smirked and obliged, "there, you see?" Unknown to her was that he had got himself into the head of his spy and was showing his point of view.

Kayo frowned, "you want to find me, that's why you murdered my father."

The Hood nodded at his companion who pushed the thrusters forward after setting a course, "you have more powers than you know Kayo, your father's death was only the beginning."

"If you lay a finger on the Tracys, I'll kill you for sure."

"Who said anything about the Tracys," he hung up and settled into his chair, "Havoc, how far away are we now from Mt Cook?"

"Half an hour sir," she turned to look at him, "why did you save me from prison if I was such a disappointment to you?"

"Your technical abilities, your brother causes nothing but destruction, you analyse the situation before you act."

"My adopted brother you mean."

"Yes, that story is intriguing."

Havoc snorted, "my father was too kind, he felt sorry for Clarence and we grew up together. When my birth parents died…" She paused, "it's none of your business what happened after that, we turned to crime, end of story."

Thunderbird 1 landed at the base camp and Scott met the man in charge of the climbing party, "Scott Tracy, how can we help?"

"They went up the east side of the mountain, they were supposed to stop at the second ridge and follow us down but it appears they either took a wrong turn or worse."

Scott nodded, "understood, two members of my organisation will be here soon to assist," he checked the positioning of his jet pack, "are there any avalanche risks?"

"No, the readings have been normal for hours now."

"Thanks, excuse me for a moment please?" He opened a comms channel with Kayo and Virgil, "we're going to need the explorer pod and land as far up on the mountain as you can Virgil."

"Scott, are you sure that's wise?" Virgil's eyebrows curved inwards slightly with concern.

"If you land at the base it'll take hours to get up there. Kayo?"

"Yes, Scott?"

"When you've landed Shadow, rendezvous with Virgil, I'll meet you up there," two FABs replied and Scott turned back to the climber, "we'll take it from here."

"Good luck."

"Thanks," Scott fired the jet pack and flew up to the second ridge as Thunderbird 2 lowered slowly and carefully onto the barren ledge, Thunderbird Shadow gripped the edge of the rock face and Kayo appeared on her bike racing towards the module, "nice landing Virgil."

Virgil smiled as he opened the roof of the pod vehicle, "thanks Scott, are you going on ahead?" Kayo raced past them on the bike and didn't stop, "what is she doing?"

Scott growled, "Kayo, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry Scott, I have something to do here."

Virgil offered his hand to his brother, "get in, we have a job to do."

The Hood's new jet landed on the north side but remained in camouflage mode and the Hood got out followed by Havoc who armed herself after being told to, they waited until they heard engines and stood grinning at the bike, Kayo leapt out before it had come to a standstill and glared angrily at her uncle.

"No talking, just tell me why plain and simple why my father is dead!"

"Have you ever done anything without realising how you are doing it?"

Kayo circled him, "what are you talking about?"

"Havoc, do you mind if I use you?"

"It hasn't stopped you before."

The Hood narrowed his eyes and Havoc gripped her head, "see anything?"

Kayo stopped, "apart from you torturing her, no."

"Okay, I'll tell you anything!" Havoc cried painfully then stopped gripping her head the same time her uncle pulled his eyes off her.

"What did you do?"

"Something you can do, want to join us?"

Virgil slammed the brakes on and Scott grabbed his chair, "footprints Scott, they're close."

"For crying out loud, you didn't have to slam your foot down."

"Says the boy racer."

Scott smirked, "I hardly used the brake, that's why I was a boy racer."

Virgil ran a hand through his hair, "again I'll remind you that you were the one who told me to 'step on it' when we were driving across a frozen wasteland littered with craters."

"Enough about that mission, I was reckless and I'm sorry, I know what I did was wrong."

Virgil looked back at him apologetically, "alright, sorry."

"It's fine. Come on, let's find those climbers, and then Kayo."

"Do not tell dad about what she's done," Virgil checked the gear and pushed the pedal to the ground again, "how are you going to get the climbers down to their base?"

"That's where you come in, if the area is stable bring Thunderbird 2 to our location, then I'll come back with you."

Virgil nodded as they followed the trail of footprints, "FAB," he scanned ahead and spotted blood, "Scott, there's blood."

Scott narrowed his eyes, "launch Thunderbird 2 and have her follow us, I'll remote pilot her if you'd like?"

Virgil passed him a ship controller, "try not to bash her, she's not a bumper car."

"Brother of little faith."

They crossed over the rocky terrain and spotted the two climbers ahead, their body temperatures were low and one was holding the other tightly against herself, the pod stopped and Virgil leapt out leaving Scott to pilot Thunderbird 2 to them.

"We saw blood, who is injured?"

"It's Sam, he cut his wrist on the rocks, I've been applying pressure to the wound with my glove," the young girl looked up tearfully and Virgil knelt beside her as Thunderbird 2 lowered behind them.

"I'm Virgil by the way. Sam is going to be fine, uh."

"Tilly, short for Matilda."

"Tilly, you can let go of him, I've got him."

Sam's eyes opened and he looked up at Virgil, "hey, sorry to drag you guys up here."

"Is it just your wrist?"

"Yeah, oh man I'm going to get blood all over you, sorry."

Virgil smiled, "trust me, I'm used to it. Scott, could you set up the med bay please in the cockpit when you've parked the pod?"

"FAB brother," Scott jumped up into the pod making the new dice swing gently before driving the explorer up the ramp into the module.

Virgil wrapped a makeshift bandage around Sam's wrist then helped him to his feet, "let's get back to your base shall we?"

"We got lost, are we in trouble? Tilly asked as she followed Virgil up the stairs to the cockpit.

"No you're not, but your orienteering group are very worried."

Scott fired up Thunderbird 2 as the cockpit door closed and Sam hopped up onto the bed, "ready for take-off Virg."

"FAB, take a seat, Tilly."

"Thanks," she sat down in the chair behind Scott's.

Virgil removed the bandage and cleaned the cut properly, "it's just a cut, I'll wrap this up and you'll be fine."

"Shall I fly us back?"

"You can't fly her steadily enough," Virgil grinned, not breaking eye contact from wrapping a fresh bandage around Sam's hand to his wrist, "I'm almost done."

Scott pouted but then smirked at Tilly, "he just worries that I'll scratch her," she chuckled to herself and he looked over at his brother.

"There, okay Scott, fire her up."

"FAB."

Kayo crossed her arms, "I want you dead, uncle."

"Yes I'm sure you do, but first I think you should discover what you are. Let's go Havoc."

"What happened to Fuse?"

Havoc smiled, "he's safe in jail, family look out for each other, if he wants to be a goody-two-shoes then I want nothing more to do with him, byeeee."

"The offer stands, Kayo, join us and don't get hurt, or go back with them and possibly cause harm to others."

Kayo frowned, "I'm not going anywhere with a murderer."

"Suit yourself."

"Kayo, are you there?"

Kayo narrowed her eyes and snow rose around her, "if I ever see you again, uncle!"

The Hood turned and smiled, "remarkable."

Kayo suddenly noticed what she was doing, "what?"

"I'll ask again, would you like to come with me?"

"No!" Kayo shouted and the snow turned into shards of ice which flew towards the Hood, he pushed Havoc out of the way and threw himself onto the ground.

"Go!" The Hood called to Havoc and she sprinted back to the jet, the Hood followed her and they slammed the jet door shut hearing ice smash against it.

"What the hell?" Havoc cried as she fired the engines.

The Hood smirked as he got his breath back, "she's woken her powers up."

Scott looked back at the mountain as Virgil said goodbye to Sam and Tilly, it was getting dark and Kayo hadn't come back, "Virg, we've got to find her."

Virgil nodded then turned his head at the sound of wheels screeching, "she's right there."

Scott ran over as the roof of the bike slid back, "Kayo."

Kayo looked up at him, tears rolled down her face and she cried, "what's wrong with me?"

"Let's get home, the mission is over."

"Scott, my uncle was here, I spoke to him."

"You've been through a lot."

Kayo shook her head, "no Scott, he was up there with Havoc, he told me things. I made snow move without touching it."

Virgil fired up Thunderbird 2 seeing Scott's hand signals and called the base, "Dad, something is definitely wrong with Kayo, get Brains to prepare that head scan. I think Scott was right, he did see something."
