Damon checked the clock on her computer. It read 7:30am, only four hours since they made it home after the spirals and since her sister had arrived. It was that sister of hers that had been hovering over her shoulder ever since then. The pack had dispersed to their respective rooms or areas of the apartment and left Damon with this actress called Amy. Finally, she'd had enough.

"Amy, why don't you watch t..."

"That last sequence you put in is wrong," Amy interrupted, pointing at the computer screen. Damon blinked and checked her coding again. The last command she had entered was, in fact, wrong and would have most assuredly set off security alarms once in the system.

"Oh, thanks," Damon said quietly as she fixed it.

"Never mind that. Here, let me look at it," Amy insisted as she pushed Damon out of the way.

"Okay, I guess," Damon slowly got up and flinched as a loud thud came from the ceiling. "I'll be back," Damon said quickly. She hurried out the door and up the stairs to the roof.

Once on the roof, Damon saw a familiar sight. Ash and Rose were sparring with Danny sitting cross legged watching their every move. The one odd thing was Rose and Ash hadn't sparred like this in a long time.

"What are you guys doing?" she asked just loud enough to be heard.

"Sparring, what's it look like?" Ash yelled as he ducked under Rose's arm and kicked her in the side.

"Oh," Damon turned slowly to head back downstairs when there was pressure on her shoulder. She turned to see Danny standing behind her with a small smile.

"Why don't you stay and watch?" Danny took her hand and gently pulled her back toward where he had been sitting.

"Actually, Damon needs to finish her hack downstairs but I'd love to watch with you, Danny," the bubblegum sweet voice from behind Damon came so unexpectedly that Damon actually flinched and ducked her head down. "Don't worry, sis, I'll keep Danny company," Amy smiled widely as she took Danny's arm and led him back to the fight.

Damon watched as her sister cooed over Danny and put on an animated show about the fight before heading back downstairs.

Once at her computer, she saw that Amy hadn't fixed the problem but had actually made it worse. All the patches she had put in were libel to set off alarms before the hacker would have even been in the system. Damon sighed loudly, this was typical of Amy. Even with six years of separation, she was still sabotaging everything Damon did. Damon ran her fingers through her jet black hair and began what was going to be several hours worth of work fixing this and the finishing the hack.
