Numbah 1, once again holding Numbah 362 in his arms, slowly levitated the two of them to the ground, putting Numbah 363 down once they reached soild ground. "Are you okay Rach--Numbah 362?" Numbah 1 asked nervously. Numbah 362 threw her arms around Numbah 1 and hugged him tight, much to Numbah 1's suprise as she thought his friend had thought badly of him ever since his family centric reveal. "Nigel, I'm so sorry for everything." Numbah 362 said softly as she kept hugging Numbah 1.

"I should've stopped Chad but I was curious about what he had to say. I should've stuck up for you back there during the reveal but I didn't. Then when I acted too late, I got myself captured and put you in danger, I put everyone in danger. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for everything, I hope you can forgive me." Numbah 362 said, breaking the hug and holding Numbah 1's hands in hers.

Numbah 1 hesitated for a moment before speaking. "It's okay Rachel, I forgave you a while ago. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have know to aim for the middle of the chest, or had me and everyone else's fugitive status retracted, thank you for everything." Numbah 1 explained, reaching one hand up to brush a stray strand of hair out of her eyes. "Man, Rachel has some pretty golden hair." Numbah 1 thought, being suddenly intruppted by Father storming into the room, Sector V charging in after him. "Nigel! Are you okay?!" Father yelled, looking around the room quickly.

"Hey Ben! I'm okay, and I kicked giant robot butt." Numbah 1 said causally, waving to Father. Sector V rushed forward and scooped Numbah 1 and Numbah 362 in a big group, asking questions a mile a minute, of which the duo did their best to answer in time. "Wait, where's Chad?" Numbah 2 asked out of the blue. The group of kids went slient as everyone turned to the giant fallen robot. As if on cue, the robot's faceplate was kicked open and Chad, covered in soot and bruises with his clothes torn and his hair messy, crawled out of the wreckage, coughing and trying in vain to rub the dirt off his skin. Everyone immediately got into a fighting stance, flames immediately started to lick up from the bottom of Father and Numbah 1's shoes and from their clenched fists.

"Ugh, this isn't over you snot nosed brats! Just wait until I rat you out to the Teen Ninja's!" Chad's attempt at a threat was pathetic, he sounded like a bratty child about to go whining to his parents. Even still, Numbah 1 still had to take Chad seriously and as Chad started to run away, Father summoned a massive fireball into his hand and was about to throw it at Chad but Numbah 1 beat him to the punch, picking Chad up with telekinesis and holding him still. "You've caused all of us enough grief, just make this easy for yourself and stop whining." Numbah 1 ordered as he floated Chad over to him. "Numbah 1! Put Chad down!" Numbah 86 yelled as she stormed into the room, stomping towards Chad. Numbah 1 was incredibly confused by this order but he compiled and put Chad down anyway, much to Chad's relief. "Oh, finally! Someone gets my wa-"

Chad was inturupted by Numbah 86 punching him in the face, the force of the punch made Chad's head jerk back and it send him tumbling onto his back, leaving a large red welt on his left cheek. "Consider that payback getting me kidnapped," Numbah 86 growled before kicking a downed Chad in the side, making him yelp and squirm away from her like a worm. "and that's for everything else." Numbah 86 continued. She then dragged Chad up to his knees by the collar of his shirt and handcuffed him. "Don't you worry about Chad, I'll have him booked in the Arctic Prison. I'm going to personally make sure he gets a maximum security booking." Numbah 86 said to the group before standing Chad up and walking him out of the room. "Hope you don't mind the cold, teenager, cuz you're staying locked up for a long time." Numbah 86 taunted as she herded Chad out of the room, Chad angrily mumbling under his breath, craning his head back to glare daggers at Numbah 1. "Just wait till I get out. I'll tear down everything you love, Nigel. Everything. No matter the cost." Chad thought bitterly as he was shooed out of the room.

--

It had been two days since Chad's deafeat and things were better then expected for Numbah 1. Numbah 362 was back in office on the Moonbase, the first thing she did once order was restored was throw a glamorous party in honor of Sector V and Numbah 86 for their heroic efforts. On behalf of Numbah 1, Numbah 362 had even allowed Father to attend the party, although Numbah 1 did keep a close eye on him, just in case. Numbah 1 had even managed to save a slice of cake and a few cans of soda for the Delightful Children, a gesture that made the five children incredibly happy. Chad was still carrying out his sentence in the Artic Prison, rotting away, or rather freezing away, in a frozen over maximum security prison cell with only icicles for company. The audio recording Chad had used to manipulate the Kids.Next.Door that fateful day had been confiscated and personally destroyed by Numbah 86, meaning that Numbah 1 could sleep peacefully at night knowing that no one could ever use that haunting audio to torment him ever again.

And now to add the cherry on top, Numbah 1's parents had fully recovered from their car crash injuries which meant Numbah 1 could finally return home. "You ready to go home?" Father asked, he and Numbah 1 were standing on the doorstep of the Delightful Manor, a backpack with all of Numbah 1's things packed into it. "Yeah, I'm ready." Numbah 1 said to Father, who was in his shadow suit. "Besides, I won't be gone for long anyway, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble." Numbah 1 joked, playfully elbowing Father in the side. "What can I say? Trouble is my middle name." Father joked back, playfully elbowing Numbah 1 back which earned him a few giggles from his nephew. "Yeah, but be careful from now on. With my new powers I might be able to beat you in a fight!" Numbah 1 playfully declared, holding and flexing up his left arm, letting his shadow suit and blue fire engulf it up to his elbow. "I wouldn't be so sure of that buddy boy. It'll take more then raw strength alone to defeat me." Father said playfully, patting Numbah 1 on the head to tease him. Numbah 1 grinned at Father and put his fire out.

"Nigel!" The Delightful Children called out in sync, Numbah 1 turned around and was pulled into a group hug by the Delightful Children, the five children holding him close in the center of their little group. There had been several of these group hugs today but this one was the most snug. "Are you sure you can't stay?" The Delightful's asked in sync with a pout, breaking the hug and holding Numbah 1's hands in theirs, all of them sporting puppy dog eyes. "No, I can't stay. But don't worry, I see you guys everyday anyway, we'll meet again soon." Numbah 1 reassured them. The Delightful's smiled a little bit. "Okay cousin." They replied, their attention being drawn to Father when he started to walk up behind Numbah 1.

Numbah 1 followed their gaze and turned around to something completely unexpected. As soon as he turned around, Father hugged him, bending down on one knee to be on his nephew's level and hugging him tight. It left Numbah 1 speechless, frozen still for a second as it just now was dawning on him that they'd never hugged before. Numbah 1 snapped out of his trance and returned the affection, both arms swung around the adults torso with his head resting in the nook of Father's neck. "Love you too, Ben." Was all Numbah 1 could really say, they hugged for a while, not saying anything, just holding each other, before Father broke the hug and stood up. Jenkins shuffled out of the front door, got into the driver's seat of Father's car and starting the engine, the car rumbling to life. "The car is ready, sirs and madams." Jenkins said politely. Everyone piled into the car, Father in the front passenger seat with the kids in the backseat.

During the car ride home Numbah 1 was could hardly sit still, he was giddy with excitement over seeing his parents in person for the first time in a while. He couldn't wait to hug them and tell them all about the powers he'd developed over the past month and what it was like living in the Delightful Manor. He watched the world blur by, the last time he was in a similar scenario he was crying and heartbroken, now he was happy and prosperous.

The car pulled into Numbah 1's driveway before he knew it, his parents were standing on the front stoop with big smiles on their faces. Both of his dad's hands were bandaged up and his mom's hair was shorter then usual with the ends of her hair brittle, her hair had most likely been singed during the car accident. The car had just came to a full stop and been put into park when Numbah 1 unbuckled his seatbelt and lept out of the car, running towards the front stoop of his house and into the loving arms off his parents as both of them hugged him and cradled him close. "Mom, dad! I'm so happy to see you guys again!" Numbah 1 said, tears of mirth pricking at his eyes as his parents kissed all over his forehead and patted his back. "We missed you so much son." Monty said, his voice breaking from emotion. "Welcome home dear." Mrs. Uno said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Monty scooped Numbah 1 up in his arms and carried him inside, Mrs. Uno, Father and the Delightful Children following her inside the house while Jenkin stayed behind to attend to the car. Numbah 1 told his parents about what it was like living in the Delightful Manor, told them about his firey powers and even did a little demonstration of his abilities, much to his very impressed parents delight.

Everyone stayed at Numbah 1's house for about an hour, talking and catching up for lost time, Numbah 1 doing a few more little demonstrations of his power. Numbah 1 and the Delightful Children sat and listened to Monty and Mrs. Uno's experiences in the hospital, Father occasionally making a playful jab at the hospital food or bedding which got a laugh out of all of them. After an hour, Father and the Delightful Children said their goodbyes and left. After that, Monty and Mrs. Uno went into the kitchen to start making dinner together while Numbah 1 went up to his room to unpack. As he was unpacking Numbah 1 looked around his room slowly, absorbing every detail, really appreciating how nice his room was and realizing how much he had missed it.

Once he was down unpacking, Numbah 1 flopped down on his bed and laid there, an incredible happiness flowing through his body. He was home. He was safe. His parents were back and healthy. The nightmare was over and everything was going to go great from now on.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't stay like that forever. For a certain blonde, spiteful, revenge craving teenager, revenge was going to be a dish best served cold. As cold as the pale moonlight that a certain vampire frequented in. And after that, why stop there?
