Trunks was worried, again. About his mother, about the androids. About that girl. Her power level had risen drastically after he left. 'Why? why why why'? he racked his brains for reasons why it could have risen so much. 'She could have been compressing her ki, and risen it to attack the androids, no,' he decided 'she didn't look stupid. Or maybe she was weak cos she had been really beaten up, then ate the Senzu and got it all back, but so much? and if so, why haven't I sensed her before? And why did I give her a Senzu anyway, there aren't much of those left, and what if she turns out to be evil? what if... no, she couldn't be another android, a new one, could she? No human has orange eyes, but wait, androids don't have ki, and she does, so she can't be, she just can't be!' He tried to stop thinking about it, but failed, he didn't trust her, because it was too obvious that she didn't trust him, 'She has every right not to trust me, living when she does,' he thought. 'What if I could train her?' a new idea popped into his head 'then I'd no longer be outnumbered by the androids, but if she didn't want to, I couldn't force her to fight, Dammit Trunks stop thinking so much!' It was late, and he was tired, and Bulma was waking up, so he didn't have to think about the girl till the morning.

Raen was dreaming about her past, she was sitting by the fire with her father Rey, and her sister Lilly came running out of the hidden cave they made their home. Lilly tripped, she had always been clumsy, and fell into the fire, the flames missed her face, but licked at her stomach, Rey scooped her up and ran toward the nearby river. Raen could still hear Lilly screaming through the forest, and awoke, sitting up abruptly. Someone was screaming, the voice female and full of fear. Raen jumped out of bed and landed near the doorway, a good two meters away, this act reminding her of her strange new powers, and gave her more confidence. The screaming voice sounded so eerily familiar, and Raen knew it was Them who were attacking. She followed the screams through the alleyway where she had met Bean-boy the night before, and when she was half a block away from the source, they stopped. Raen rounded a corner, and stopped, the smell of blood and death filled the air. There was a woman who looked like she'd been thrown against a tree, her eyes were shut and her long dark hair was matted with blood. A small child was sitting by her head, stroking her hair and whimpering, the woman looked up at Rean, then back at her child, and whispered something to her. The girlchild sniffed "I don't want to" she said quietly, the woman moved slightly "she's going to need you Jaki," she said, rather too firmly for someone who is dying "remember to be brave, and never to give up, I'll watch over you, and always love you", The child, Jaki, nodded "I know, I'll love you too", and with a last smile to her youngest daughter, the black haired woman died. Raen, who had frozen, just out or earshot, now moved forwards, Jaki leant forwards and kissed her mother on the forehead, then stood up and limped over to Raen. Raen opened her mouth to say something comforting, but was stopped by a voice "Hey" Raen spun round, the lavender haired boy was standing there, his eyes searching the park "I'm sorry. I should have been here earlier" he said, truly meaning it.
"I've got some questions to ask you" said Raen
"Yes, so do I" he replied "but not here, and not now, we should really bury her first" he said, indicating to the woman under the tree. Trunks raised his hand and blasted a hole in the ground nearby, both Raen and Jaki jumped. "a warning, before you do that again, would be nice" said Raen, and noticed Jaki was shaking
"T-they did that, they used that light from their hands, a-and they killed her with it" said Jaki, obviously now afraid of Trunks
"I won't hurt you" Trunks promised "my names Trunks, I fight the androids, I'm on your side"
"Androids?!?" interrupted Raen, "They're Androids?!?" Her voice was full of disgust and anger, something like orange lightning zapped between her fingers, Trunks stepped backwards, but was relieved, no-one with Raens amount of hate for the androids could be his enemy. "yes" he said scooping Jakis mother into his arms and placing her gently in the hole he had made "and I'll give you the whole story later" He, with Jakis help, finished burying her mother, then turned to Raen "Can you fly?"
"What? No. Why?"
"Cos its too dangerous for you out here, not with you new power, they'll sense you," he turned to Jaki "and your too young to be wandering about by yourself, so your both coming home with me"
"okay" agreed Raen, after a long pause, 'there's really no other way I'm going to get any answers'.
"right then, focus your ki -that's you energy- and take off," he instructed, then said to Jaki " here kid climb on my back", Jaki crossed her arms "my name is Jaki, not kid" she said stubbornly, as Raen hovered ungracefully above the ground. While Jaki clambered onto Trunks back and held on tightly round his neck, Raen dropped down, and pushed off the ground again, gaining momentum this time, she followed Trunks to the underground hide out at capsule corp. his grandfather had made so many years ago.
