DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dark Angel, Just my storyline.

Jondy's favorite place in the world was Queensland and she loved to go and stay at her nanna's place at Arundel which was a suburb about 10 minutes drive from Main Beach in Surfer's Paradise. She loved her nanna's pool, which was a salt-water pool that had palm trees draped over it, and she'd always go and sit near the spa jet's in her bikini, drinking pineapple juice, he leg's layed out so the sun would tan them.
Manticore had taught Jondy to hate water, but from the moment she went and swam at the beach, all the memories faded away. Her first experience with water was when the Donovan's took her up to Queensland to meet her new grandparent's, and she was so scared. She didn't know what to expect of grandparents and the thought of having a grandmother and grandfather was like a distant dream.
Her Nanna (who thought the name grandmother made her sound old) and Pop met Jondy's family at the airport in Coolangatta and were driven to Arundel where they dropped there bags and got back in the car and drove to the beach. Jondy who was still going by the name Lisa at that stage was scared on the water, and she'd stayed on the warm sand for an hour before her nanna finally came and spoke to her.
"Lisa darling, aren't you going to go into the water with your brother's and sister's?" Nanna Loris had asked.
"Nanna, I'm scared of the water!" Lisa confided to her new Nanna and Loris immediately took action.
"But you can swim?" Nanna had asked and Jondy nodded. Nanna Loris pulled Lisa up and they both walked over to the water. They sat down and let the water touch their toes. Then they moved further and they giggled as the water tickled and they went further in. Nanna made Lisa feel comfortable and spoke about the many trips she'd taken and she also spoke of her son, Lisa's adopted father. Nanna Loris spoke of the many times they'd come to Queensland in the days they'd lived in Strathmore in Melbourne. Kevin (Lisa's father) used to go surfing and Loris used to worry because he'd swim out so far into the ocean. This was the first Lisa had learnt of her father's childhood and she craved more.
And Jondy had found that for the very first time since she had joined the Donovan family, that he Manticore past was behind her.

White opened the door to the infirmary and found Jondy's bed, alone and connected to IV drips and other medical equipment.
Suddenly Jondy began to seizure and White quickly ran over to her side and pushed one of the IV's, the one which had a liquid tryptophan and then he put his arm's around Jondy trying to steady her. After a couple of minute's, the seizures stopped and Jondy was back to being steady and unconscious.
"Jondy, Lisa, Jade. Or is it just easier to call you 210. Nah, I think I'll just call you Jondy like Max does. Do you know how important Max is to us? Off course not cause you've been living in Australia going to University and giving press conferences to the world media. And why is it that a second Year University Student can obtain such a high standard of knowledge so early on. It's cause she'd a transgenic, a made up human. Many years ago, people hated the thought of designer babies, now you can choose your child's hair colour, intelligence, anything and all due to science." White spoke to Jondy who still lay unconscious.
"Max and yourself are very important. And we plan on keeping both of you alive, unlike the rest of your 'species'. I hope you get better soon, and don't worry cause we took care of Agent Grillo. He didn't understand the objective, but I do and given enough time so will you!" White concluded and remained at Jondy's side.
Jondy shifted in her sleep and White noticed. He stood up and put the seat to the side and waited. Jondy woke and she gazed around the infirmary.

Jondy gazed up at the man whom stood by her bed. He was suited up in a black suit, which suggested he was a man of business. She didn't recognise him, and she didn't recognise where she was.
"Who are you?" Jondy whispered and the man stepped forward.
"I'm a friend." The man replied and Jondy became suspicious.
"Where am I?"
The man brought a chair forward and sat on it. "You are in the hospital. You were in an accident. A car swerved and it hit you and you weren't quick enough to respond. In fact I'm a police officer and I need to ask you a couple of questions about a friend of your's from America. Max Guevera!" The man pulled out a tape recorder and Jondy turned away.
"Why do you want me to talk about Max?" Jondy asked and she could hear the man move closer.
"Jade, she was the one who ran you over!"
