5 was with his daughter in the workshop just making something that will help the others. All those years helping 2 in their old sanctuary, 5 was able to took the workshop so 2 wouldn't' hurt himself. Well, he knew their souls didn't age, so 2 could relax a bit and 5 could do all the work. Little 16 was holding her arm for some odd reason. 5 noticed it when she was copying him.

"Sweetie? Is there something wrong with your arm?"

"No daddy?"

5 saw a small torn on her shoulder, she was attack or got into a fight with anyone, she was too small to be in a fight. "Wait…is your soul growing a little?"

Little 16 was confused by this. Pick her up, she was light and her weight had not change since she borne into this world. 5 fix her shoulder, her hood was still too big on her, but, she was able to wear it.

"Well, I know for a fact that our souls don'-"

5 saw his wife with her father, he heard them talking about something that he couldn't hear them clearly. But, he noticed the change on his wife's face. He watch 1 leave her alone for a moment, and she suddenly fall to the floor and she begin to whimper.

"11...what happen…?"

5 took her into the workshop and she buried her face into his chest. He wonder what 1 said to her? He knew they're still getting use to be a father and daughter to each other. But, he was scared that 1 would say something cruel to her and he would hurt her again.

"He ask me…if something happen to him…he wanted to me to be the next leader…"

5 was confused, but, he wondered why 1 would ask that much from her.

"11..." Their daughter was hugging their legs tightly. 11 pick her up and felt horrible to let her daughter see her own mother like this. "11...I don't know the story about what happen between 1 and your mother. But…in my view of this, I think he just…preparing you or…"

11 kissed him on his check, she thought about this for a moment or two. She been through all lot since she meet 5. But, unlike him, she felt her life changing everyday, but, she was standing still when time was changing.

"But…you know he wouldn't hurt you." 5 told her, and he was right. 1 changed since then, he was clam, he treated everyone like they were family, he wasn't like the 1 they knew since the war between the humans and machines.

"You're right….but…me leader? I know I'll be a useless leader." "

11, you're not useless. I know for a fact, when you and 9 were fighting the fabric machine…I was scared I was going lose you."

11 pulled her husband closer to her and 16. She never heard 5 say something like this. She thought the same thing once, she wouldn't live if there was a world without 5 in it.

"I should be the one saying that."

"I should be the one saying that." They laughed at their daughter when say copied her mother. But, 11 was wondering if she would be a good leader, if something to her father. 1 was thinking the same thing as well. He walk pass his daughter's family. But, in his mind, one day, she was going to be a great leader, even better then him.
