After Clelia gave General Colton all that Intelligence, the interrogation ended.

She had got up, along with him. He showed her out of the room, where she met Hawk who came out through another door in the hallway. General Colton had told her that Hawk had been watching the entire exchange through a one way mirror.

She shook his hand and said, "Hi General. Pleased to meet you."

Commander Hawk shook her hand with a firm grip and said, "Hi, I'm pleased to meet you Clelia. I'm glad we can have someone of your knowledge of Cobra on our side." He said smiling; he looked at her with a look that said he really was glad.

"Thanks, I'm glad to join the team," Clelia said.

General Colton then said, "I'll take you and your kids to your room," General Colton said, waving her along. "Follow me. It's right this way."

Clelia did so and he then lead her around the building, going upstairs till they got through some hallways, till they got to a door and he knocks on the door.

They heard babies laughing and Sean's voice said, "Coming."

The door opened and he was standing there. He looked at Clelia and didn't even take a glance at General Colton he was too taken aback by her and he had moved back to give them room to come in. He gestured for them to come in and said, "Come in please."

General Colton said, "I'll get going and leave you guys to it, it looks like you guys have a lot to talk about."

He looked at Sean who still looked at Clelia and asked, "You'll take her and her babies to her suite if she wants to go there right?"

Sean nodded, still he did not look at him and he still looked at Clelia. General Colton looked at Clelia and said, "Good, here's your key. Bye."

He handed her a card key.

Clelia looked at General Colton in surprise as he walked off he had waved her goodbye, she had then waved goodbye to him.

She walked inside the suite and saw her babies were playing on the floor with Scarlett and Snake-eyes and Thomas. The door had shut automatically behind her, Sean asked, "Is it really you Clelia?"

Clelia had nodded and taken off her mask, he gasped and came over to her and embraced her. Sean sobbed softly on her shoulder. "I was sure I had lost you."

Clelia embraced him back and asked, "What do you mean? You thought you lost me? Why would you think I was dead?"

Sean wiped his tears away and pulled out of the embrace, he said, "The Bowden's told us you were dead, you weren't with them so we thought you were dead. I thought I had lost you Clelia."

Snake-Eyes and Shana had come over and left her babies with Thomas, Snake-Eyes embraced Clelia. She hugged him back and he wrote on her shoulder with his finger, "I'm so glad you're alive! I love you Clelia."

Clelia felt so great to have her father tell her this that tears come out of her eyes and she looked up at him and said, "I love you too Snake-Eyes."

He wrote on her arm with his finger, "You can call me dad, you know."

Clelia nodded and wiped the tears from her face, she said, "Okay, dad."

Snake-Eyes kissed her on her cheek and they hugged again, then he stepped back. Shana stood in front of her and she embraced her too, Clelia hugged her back. She cried some more, Shana cried with her.

Shana said, "I missed you a lot you know. I know I only recently met you again, after when we first met when you were a baby. But I had really gotten to know you and love you as the person you are. You are a great person, a good person and I don't want to lose you again."

Clelia looked at her in surprise and said, "Thanks, I don't understand though. Why didn't you guys at least check to see if I really was dead?"

Shana said, "I didn't because I believed you were dead, the Bowden's saw your blood. After they heard the gunshot and they were told by Cobra you were dead. You weren't with them, what else was I or anyone else supposed to think?"

Clelia then got angry and yelled, "What were you were supposed to think! Let's make sure! We want to know if she's is alive or not?! We want to know, cause if you can't find a body. It's not clear whether the persons dead or not!"

Shana said, "I'm sorry, but I thought you were dead I don't know what more I can say."

She went and sat back down with Clelia's babies, Snake-Eyes joined her.

Thomas said to her babies, "You can go say hi to your mommy now."

Wade was the first one to look at her and he ran over and hugged her, "MUMMY!"

She leaned down and hugged him and Eowyn ran over and screaming, "MUMMY!" She hugged Clelia. She opened her arms around both her babies and hugged them both.

Clelia said, "Hey Wade, Hey Eowyn. What are you doing?"

She pointed at where they were playing blocks and Wade took her hand and started to pull her to the blocks and Wade said, "I'll show you."

Clelia nodded and looked at Eowyn who still tightly embraced her and asked, "Can you show me what you're doing too?"

Eowyn nodded holding a doll she had obviously been given, she then took Clelia's other hand and they both lead her over to the blocks where they showed her one at a time what they were doing. Eowyn got her to hold her doll; Clelia was sitting down with them on the floor. They then wanted her to help build a dinosaur home, for their dinosaur toys.

Shana says, "I'll help you guys with that, Clelia's got to talk to someone."

Shana looked at Clelia and then looked behind her at someone else. Clelia looked behind her and saw who Shana looked at. Not far away is Sean sitting on the couch with his head on his hands watching her.

He said, "Clelia I want to talk to you." He gestured to a door to her right and said, "In there, if you don't mind?" He looked at her enquiringly, with a pleading look.

Clelia nodded and let go of Ewoyn's hand. Wade had let go of her hand a little while ago, to show her what he was doing. Ewoyn didn't want to let go and grabbed her hand again and held her around the waist, she looked up at Clelia with a pleading look and said, "Don't go!"

Clelia crouched down and said, "Its okay, I'll only be gone for a little while than I'll be back."

Eowyn then gives her doll over to Clelia and says, "Here."

Clelia asks, "You want me to take care of your doll for you?"

Eowyn pushed the doll to her and nodded then she grabbed at the doll and asked, "Will you?"

Clelia cradled the doll like she would a newborn. "You can trust me to look after your baby," she assured Eowyn.

"Baby girl," Eowyn insisted.

Clelia said, "You can trust me to look after your baby girl. Okay?"

Eowyn nodded and sat down; Clelia got up and followed Sean to the room with the doll in her arms. Sean closed the door behind him and they sat down on the bed.

Clelia sensed they wanted the children to stay here the smell of talcum powder in the room and the movement of a baby mobile over a crib told her that.

She looked at him and said, "I'll have to put them to bed soon, since it is 4:30am in the morning. You want them to sleep in here?"

Sean nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." She could feel him looking her over, then he touched her face and she liked his touch. It had been such a long time, she held his hand and kissed it. He touched her closed eyelids and said, "Your eyelids are closed up, not just closed up. They've been sewn up! Who the hell did this to you?! Was it Firefly?!" He paused to consider then he said, "It must have been him! I'll kill him!"

Clelia was shocked and then a flashback came on and she remembered the medic sewing her eyes together in the dungeon, she could hear herself screaming. Firefly above her laughing and the guards nearby laughing, even the nurse padding her eyes with cotton wool as blood came out was laughing at her. It was a horrifying experience and at the end of it she was screaming and trying to attack Firefly, he said, "Your mine NOW!"

Clelia screamed at him, "NEVER, AFTER ALL YOU'VE DONE TO ME! AND NOW WHAT YOU"VE DONE TO MY EYES!"

He then said, "Oh, you'll forget this I'll make you think something else happened to your eyes!"

Clelia then screamed, "NO YOU WON'T!"

Firefly and the others in the room laughed, he then bashed the shit out of her head with his fist so she had concussion and forgot everything. Then they all were laughing as they tried to make her think that she had lost her eye sight due to the darkness and grime. That didn't work, that time since they were all laughing. So they bashed the shit out of her head and made her believe the second time round with no laughing.

Clelia grabbed her head and held her head in her in hands, she then started crying. She said, "I remember. I remember now what they did they did to me!"

Sean looked at her in surprise and asked, "You didn't remember before? Geeze what did they do to you? Brainwash you?!"

Clelia nodded and said, "Yes, but without any bloody machine." She continued to cry with her head in her hands.

She felt him pull her close and he held her in his arms, she liked the feel of his warm embrace and she leaned her head against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat that she had missed so much, everything about him stirred up memories of their time together and her love for him. She could feel her heart get this warm sensation to it and her whole body felt this warmth swept over her, the warmth of being in love. He kissed her forehead as she stopped crying and looked up at him, suddenly she felt safe in his arms. As if nothing could hurt her, "He won't let anyone hurt me." She thought.

Then she remembers he never came for her, he left her there on Cobra Island to suffer like that and she pulled out of his embrace and made a distance between them on the bed.

She looked at him and said, "Nice of you to act like everything's okay. To act like it was nothing you left me there to die and suffer those things!"

He shook his head and said, "Clelia, I came for you along with your parents looking for you! We thought you'd be with the Bowden's and you weren't!"

Clelia said, "Firefly says you guys didn't even ask about me. The soldiers nearby heard."

Sean put his arms out in exasperation and said, "And you believe Firefly after all he's done to you! Any Cobra soldiers nearby wouldn't heard anything, cause they would be dead. We would have killed them! Listen to me the information we got from what they knew, is that the Bowden's thought that you were murdered! We were told Firefly killed you! The Bowden's saw the blood! Everyone else believed it, but me!"

Clelia shook her head, "If you didn't believe it! Why didn't you find me in the dungeon I was in on Cobra island?!"

Sean held Clelia by the shoulders and started crying saying, "I couldn't find you! It made and makes me feel so helpless to this day! That I couldn't find you!"

He lay his head on her shoulder and wept, she wanted to embrace him but she still wasn't sure about his story. She heard the door open and in came Shana and Snake-Eyes. Sean stopped crying wiped his tears and moved away from Clelia looking down at the floor with his head in his hands.

Shana said, "We couldn't help, but overhear your conversation from the next room."

Shana sat down in the space in between and says, "Its true Clelia, we all looked for you, as well as for the Bowden's and Sean came back looking for you on his own. Despite General Colton not giving formal permission, it was all off the books. He looked for you because he loves you."

Shana grabbed Clelia's hand and looked down at the ring that is noticeable even in with her black gloves on.

She said, "I thought this was an engagement ring from Firefly when I didn't know who you were. But I bet its not is it, Clelia?"

Clelia looks at Shana and then sees Sean move around her quickly and he stood between the two of them. Sean looked down at the ring and said, "I thought it was still Firefly's ring, I thought you must have got engaged to him. Is it not? Is it the ring I gave you?!"

Clelia took off her glove and said, "Yes, but I wanted to wear it till I gave it back to you. Otherwise I might've lost it or Firefly would take it to mean that he and I could get together."

Sean's shoulders slumped and he asked, "So you don't love me anymore?"

Clelia looked into his eyes that had a heartbroken look about them and said, "I still love you Sean. I just don't know if you do, if you really do."
Snake-Eyes grabbed Clelia's shoulder and wrote on her shoulder with his finger, "Where were you is the question I want to know?! What if I don't know if I believe your story that you didn't join Cobra of your own accord? Say I don't believe what you made out, that you were kidnapped. What's to stop me from believing you hadn't set the Bowden's up? Cause we looked everywhere for you and we couldn't find you! Was it different then you make out, were you in a Cobra uniform and that's why we couldn't find you?!"

Clelia looks at him and says, "I was in Cobra commander's second dungeon, the one they have to get through, through a secret panel in the wall of the other dungeon. You Joes know all the in outs of Cobra Island don't you?! The whole lay out of Cobra Island, so don't turn it around on me and make out I'm lying about being held prisoner on Cobra Island."

Snake-Eyes shook his head and signed something Clelia couldn't see and Shana said, "Snake-Eyes says you should wake up to the realization that you were brainwashed by Firefly. Cause that's just bullshit what he told you, that we know the whole lay out of Cobra Island and all the in and outs of it! Because if we did, it would make things a lot easier for us. They make things new all the time, like the dungeon you speak about we haven't even heard of that before."

Clelia said, "Okay, your right that makes sense what you're saying. But you do get I'm not lying to you, Snake-Eyes?"

She looked at him searchingly and he nodded and then signed something.

Shana said, "Snake-Eyes says you should get that we're not lying to you either. We wouldn't lie to you. We're your family, not your abusive adoptive family, not other abusive people you've had before in your life, like Firefly. We're your family, a family that you can trust. I know it may have seemed like we broke that trust, when you thought we didn't come to get you, when you thought we didn't try to find you. But now you know the truth that we did look for you. Can't you see that you can trust us?"

Clelia nodded and clasped Shana's hand, then said, "Yes."

She then looked at Snake-Eyes and Sean and asked, "Were you guys looking for me when I helped torture you guys? Was that why you guys were there?"

Snake-Eyes put his hand on her shoulder and then signed and Sean said, "Snake-Eyes says yes that was us. Looking back, it was obvious that you were getting them to hold back. Helping us out in a way, thanks. By the way. This is from me."

Sean pulled her to him and kissed her passionately, Clelia kissed him back with her lips and then pulled away.

Sean looked at her confused and asked, "Everything's alright now, isn't it? And you're keeping the ring right?"

Clelia was being held in his arms, her arms were around his neck and she said, "Yes, everything is fine and I'm keeping the ring. It's just that…"She looked around at Shana and Snake-Eyes.

Sean looked at Clelia, then he looked at Shana and Snake-Eyes and he said, "Oh, right. Sorry."

Snake-eyes looked at them and signed; Sean looked at Shana and Snake-Eyes.

Sean said, "Goodnight, guys."

Snake-Eyes patted Clelia on the shoulder and kissed her forehead as he went out and Clelia said, "Goodnight, guys."

Snake-Eyes nodded at her and Shana smiled at her as she was leaving the room and Shana said, "Goodnight you two, sweet dreams."

Sean looked at Clelia and said, "We get the babies to bed, then we've got half an hour of sleep or something else." He raised his left eyebrow in mischievous way when he said something else.

Clelia kisses him quickly on the lips and says, "Or something else sounds good let's get the babies to bed."

She then looked at him and asked, "You do know they're your babies don't you?"

Sean looked at her in surprise and said, "No, I thought they were yours and Firefly's and I was okay with that. Not that I liked it when I thought you had been with another man, I'm okay with it because I will love you no matter what and any children you have. Even if their not mine."

Clelia looked at him in surprise and gasped, then she said, "Me and Firefly?! No way we never got together. He wanted to, but we didn't."

Sean asked, "Did he try to rape you?"

Clelia said, "Yes, but I stopped him. I stabbed him in the leg."

Sean held her face in his hands then he said, "Clelia I love you and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you like that again. I promise."

Clelia kissed him back and said, "Thanks."

Then there was knocking on the door and little Wade and Eowyn said, "Mummy. Mummy can we come in."

Clelia looked at the door and then looked at Sean and said, "Its time to put the our babies to bed."
