Revolution patted her stomach as the baby kicked inside.

"I know, I know. I'm hungry too" she whispered.

She smiled as she saw Katie and Annie run down the stairs.

"Shhh!" she whispered as she pointed to Dagger and Spot who were sleeping on the couch.

"Rev?" asked Katie "Whats for breakfast?"

"Pancakes" replied Revolution smiling "Now sit and hush"

Corky woke to the smell of pancakes.

"Mmm, whose making breakfast?" she asked.

"Rev, I tink. Prolly not out of the goodness of her heart but cause she's hungry" laughed Moth.

"I swear dat goil eats ten times what she used ta" exclaimed Stress.

"Well, she is pregnant" stated Lucky as she prepared to get ready for work.

Itey struggled to open his eyes. Where am I? He wondered. The last thing he remembered was he was sitting in the forest wishing he was with Revolution, then a loud explosion behind him.

"Hello" said the nurse "You'se awake finally"

"Where am I?" he whispered.

"Why New Yoik" said the woman "What's ya name kid?"

"Umm.Anthony, Anthony Martino" he exclaimed.

"Well, Welcome Home" said The Nurse "Welcome Home Anthony"

"Please call me Itey" he said Smiling.

"Eat up" said Revolution as she served up breakfast.

"Hey Rev" exclaimed Spot "I didn't know ya could cook"

"Did ya tink I was gonna cook forr ya?" she joked.

"Hows Skints?" asked Bon Bon.

"I dunno" replied Pixie "She kinda jus wanders around with a dull sad look in her eyes"

"Kinda like Legs" replied Legend.

The girls all felt the pain of not only losing their male friends but in a way the loss of two of them.

"Hey Luck, I have dose blankets for ya." Said Revolution "Ya want dem now?"

"Why don't ya bring em ova? Cause I don't really know where dere supposed to go" replied Lucky.

"No problem"

Later That Day..

Itey sat up in bed and tried to feed himself with his injured hands. He was glad there was no one there to see him spill soup on his lap.

"Hello Anne" said the nurse outside.

"Now Lily, how many times do I have ta tell you dat its Anya?" asked Revolution chiding the older women gently "Here are some blankets, Lucky. I mean Nurse Windsor asked me ta bring"

"Well, thank you dear" replied Lily "Could you take one to the nice young boy in that room. He just woke up and maybe an angelic face is jus what da docta ordered"

"Me? Angelic?" laughed Revolution "Okay"

Itey heard the laughter coming down the hall. It cut through the air and sounded like the tinkle of chimes. Revolution's laugh sounds just like that he thought as he absent-mindedly twisted his wedding ring around his finger. Through the long months away he had remembered the tiny things most of all. Like the quiet concentration in her eyes as she played the violin, the careful way she explained things to the children, slow enough so they'd understand but not so they'd feel dumb.

"Hello" said a strangely familiar voice, it was a beautiful voice being a mix of Irish and the familiar Manhattan accent. "My Names Anya"

He gasped, It was her, was he dreaming? He thought. He slowly turned his head towards the sound..

Mwahhahahaa! Can ya feel it? The pure evil in this chapter? Is it her? Is it not? Carryin Da Banner, Revolution
