It's a short chapter, for I just got it done and posted it for all who wanted me to update more.

Zero glanced around TC the moment they were inside. "There are so many here," she pointed out to Max, as she followed her and Alec, who was carrying sean, to Head Quarters. "I didn't think that there would be so many." Keith, Sara, Carmen, and Spike got out of the van and they were shocked by how many people were around.

"Yeah, this is home to a lot of them," Max said, as she walked into Head Quarters and went straight over to Mole's side. "What's been happening?"

"Hey, Max," Mole said, as he shot a glance at Zero and Sean. "You're back, and I see that you brought friends."

"Yeah. Where's Joshua?" Zero took Sean from Alec and stood back away from them.

"Little Fella?" Joshua called out, as he came up behind Max and gave her a bear hug. "I missed you."

At the sight of Joshua, Zero sat Sean down on the table and he began to crawl away. Alec snagged him before he fell off of the table. "Hey, Big Fella. I have someone here who would like to meet you." Then Max pointed over to where Zero stood and Joshua's face lit up.

"Hello, Joshua," Zero said, as she looked at him. "It's been a while."

"Zero." Joshua ran to her side and took her up in a bear hug. Max could hear her bones crack as Joshua hugged her too hard. "You're alive."

"Well not for much longer," Alec pointed out, as he grabbed onto Joshua's arm, forcing him to let her go. "You have a strong grip there, Joshua. You don't want to break bones."

"Right. Sorry little one." That got Zero to laugh and Joshua gave her a confused look. "What did Joshua say?"

"I'm not that little any more, Joshua." Zero quickly tucked back a loose strand of her hair and shot him a smile.

"Right. I knew that." Joshua then sniffed at Zero and she took a step back. "Zero is different. Something changed."

"Yes, Joshua, a lot of things have changed." She went over and took Sean from Alec. "You remember the baby?" Joshua nodded as he came up to them. "Sean this is Joshua."

"Joshua," Sean said, as he reached his hands out for Joshua. Alec then shot Max a smile as he came up beside her.

"It looks like she was telling us the truth, Max," he whispered, and she nodded. "That's good to know."

"Yeah, it's starting to look better for them everyday."
