Kihonne: Alright guys, shockingly one of you managed to sneak a review in before this chapter was posted, so I guess its shoutout time!
Xxx
LabGirl2001: Wow, loving the quick response! I'm so glad you liked the chapter, by the way! I thought it was a good time to interject Naomi and Ben's time travel misadventure into things. As for what Kameron and Emily did or saw during their little shopping trip, I guess you'll have to read to find out. I think a couple of your questions from the previous chapter might be answered in this time, so I hope you enjoy!

Kihonne: Alright guys, time for the chapter!
Jessica: Kihonne doesn't own Lab Rats, Mighty Med, or the Elite Force. She only owns this story, any and all OCs, and anything else you don't recognize.

Emily's POV
"Grandma!" Justine was the first off the hyperloop, immediately running to hug Grandma Nicole. Noah, Charlotte, and I all went to hug Grandma Tasha, Grandpa Donny, and Great-Uncle Douglas, while Kameron, Kira, and Sera all hung back a bit.
"Hi sweetheart." Grandma Tasha greeted me before hugging Charlotte, then Justine, then Noah, and finally Leo and Katherine. She looked past us at Sera and the twins. "You must be Seraphina, Kameron, and Kira."
"Yes Ma'am." Sera replied. Tasha smiled and motioned for them to come closer.
"Call me Tasha, or Grandma Tasha. All the kids do." She told them, offering them hugs as well. "I'm sorry you couldn't go home to New York for New Years."
"It's okay. We went home to visit on boxing day." Kameron replied. "Besides, we're curious what you guys do for Christmas."
"Well, we do it up right, that's for sure." Adam commented, walking in with Taylor. I smiled; the Bionic Christmas Party was always the best part of the holiday season. Since villains didn't necessarily take a vacation for the holidays, they'd all worked out an arrangement. The New League of Heroes would take Christmas Eve/Day off while the Bionic Academy picked up the slack, and the Bionic Academy would get New Year's Eve/Day off while the New League of Heroes would handle world protection for the day. Next year they'd switch, and we'd actually celebrate Christmas on Christmas.
"Mom says she's sorry she couldn't make it." I apologized. "But
"Mom, Leo, and Katherine, and A says she's sorry she couldn't make it." I apologized. "But Ben and Naomi will be by later. They're just stopping in to say hi to Ben's mom first."
"Did Calla say why she wasn't coming?" Tasha asked.
"It's a S.H.I.R.T. thing." Leo explained. "AJ's staying behind to work on it with her, and then they're supposed to meet up with Daniel, Jazz, Bob, and Zoey at some ski lodge in a few days."
"Well, at least she's not alone. Calla's always worked too hard." Nicole sighed, shaking her head.
"We all agree." Kira added, earning a smile from the retired police captain.
"I take it you're the one who planned that amazing baby shower?" She guessed. Kira beamed in response. "Well, you certainly can consider yourself a member of the family."
"Cool." Kira grinned as the adults lead us into the main part of the academy, to the dome in the center of the island. Christmas decorations were everywhere the eye could see, with green, white, and red strings of garland taped up at the top corners of the room, with a large, white Christmas tree in the center of the room, filled with orange, red, green, and yellow decorative balls and items. There was a very long table at the far end with foods and drinks on it. Next to the food table, the doors to the cafeteria were wide open, revealing a room full of games and activities instead of the usual tables and chairs. All the other kids of the original bionic soldiers, about twenty of them, were all hanging either in here or the games room.
"Hey, you guys are going to be good?" Leo checked with us. We all nodded in response. "Okay, I have to go talk to Big D. We'll be close by if you need us."
There was a lot to do, and plenty of people to hang out. Noah went to hang with some of the oldest in the room, over by the food table. Justine immediately went to join Valerie Daniels, her best friend at the Academy, and went with her to go play with Valerie's dog, Amy. Sera, Kameron, and Kira looked a little out of place at first but were quickly welcomed in by Dallas Krane and our cousin Frank.
"Hey guys." Charlotte and I waved at Frank and Dallas as they came over. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas. How was your holidays?" Frank asked. I shrugged.
"It was okay." Charlotte replied. Dallas smiled.
"How was talking to your parents?" He asked. I felt my stomach drop, and watched the smiles on Charlotte, Kameron, Kira, and Sera's faces fall. Frank elbowed him roughly.
"Dude!" He scolded. He gave us an apologetic look. "Mom told me they couldn't call. I wasn't supposed to mention it."
"It's fine." Kameron said quietly.
"Sorry." Dallas apologized.
"It's cool." I told him, though it still bothered me. There'd been some sort of bad solar storm that had interrupted communications, making it damn near impossible for us to make contact. It had hurt that we couldn't talk to them, especially with so much going on. We'd all kinda just agreed to pretend nothing was wrong though – it was easier than talking about it.
"Do you guys wanna go play holo-tennis with us?" Frank suggested, changing the subject. Sera's eyebrows raised at that.
"What's holo-tennis?" She asked. Kira grinned.
"You don't have that on Caldera?" She asked. Sera shook her head. "Awesome! C'mon."
She proceeded to drag a confused Seraphina towards the games' room, followed by Kameron, Dallas, and Frank. Charlotte went to go with them, then stopped when she realized I wasn't following. "Are you coming?"
"Nah, I'll catch up." I assured her. She gave me a look. "I brought my swimming suit. It's been forever since I went swimming, and it's not like any of the pools are open in Centium City this time of year."
"Fine." Charlotte rolled her eyes before running after our friends and cousin. I smiled to myself and walked out of the Christmas party, intending to get some work done.
Calla's POV
I looked up from my holocomputer as Jessica DeCook walked into the conference room, along with Alivia. "Sorry, I had to drop Rosemary off at her grandfather's." Jessica explained. I nodded.
"Thank you for coming." I told them, nodding.
"It sounded important. Lily can handle the city for a few hours on her own." Alivia took a seat next to AJ, while Jessica sat across from her next to Miles. She looked at her husband, then at me.
"Now what is going on?" Jessica questioned. "It must be pretty serious if we're meeting in secret like this."
I nodded. "No one can know about this, not until…" I broke off, my throat dry. "Not until…we know more."
"More about what?" AJ demanded, looking at me. I hesitated, looking back at my holocomputer, trying to figure out how to phrase this.
"Calla?" Alivia pressed. I raised my head, about to speak, when Miles beat me to the punch.
"The Elite Force are missing."
Noah's POV
I looked over the array of chips, cookies, brownies, and snacks on the table, trying to pick something tasty.
"Hey, I thought you were hanging with Brennan, Gina, and Percy." Adam commented, walking over. I looked up at him as he did.
"Kinda got bored." I shrugged. "What's going on? I thought you went with Leo."
"Uh, yeah, Davenport wanted to talk to him about some stuff." He waved it off, grabbing a paper plate and filling it with shrimp. "You have to try this stuff. Bob's a genius."
"Calla would disagree." I commented, smirking.
"Calla doesn't know what she's talking about." He rolled his eyes. I smirked a little.
"So, what's up?" I questioned. He shook his head.
"Nothing. I just wanted to check in." He commented. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"If this is about Mom and Dad not being able to call…" I began, but he quickly shook his head. "Then what, man?"
"Nothing." He lied. I nodded.
"Alright, fine." I leaned against the food table and started to snack on chips.
"So, how's school?" He asked. I groaned and turned back to him. He raised his hands in defense. "Hey, I want to have this conversation as much as you do. Davenport told me to."
"Calla wasn't supposed to say anything!" I protested. He shook his head.
"She didn't." He replied, shrugging.
"Naomi? Emily?" No reaction. "I swear to god, if it was Justine, I'll kill her."
He laughed. "Charlotte, actually."
"Damn it, kid." I muttered, shaking my head. He chuckled.
"Look, I get it if school isn't your thing. I was never the biggest fan of school myself." He admitted. I nodded.
"I know. Mom said you probably would have flunked out if it weren't for Calla and Chase." I remembered. He shrugged.
"More Calla than Chase. He wasn't the best teacher back then." He replied. "But this isn't about me."
"It's not about not liking school. I just…" I sighed, shaking my head. "I'm not a STEM guy; numbers aren't really my thing. Humanities are boring, business is too much like law, and public affairs aren't really my thing either."
"Well, you can't just be a superhero." He pointed out.
"Why not?" I questioned incredulously. I looked at him. "I'm not saying that's the plan, but why can't it be a plan?"
"Money, for starters. Almost every member of the NLH has another job. And there's no way Davenport will put you on the payroll as a bionic hero; your parents would kill him." Adam pointed out, unusually logical about the whole thing. I sighed.
"And disown me." I added. "If they don't already."
"Meh, Calla would take you in." He shrugged. "She's not afraid of Bree or Jaden."
"Well, what else am I supposed to do then?" I questioned. He thought about it, grabbing more shrimp.
"What about an arts program?" He suggested, shrugging. I wrinkled my nose.
"I pretty much failed every art class I ever took. No offense to Mom, but arts careers are a waste of time in my opinion." I argued. He snorted in amusement. "What?"
"Nothing. Just don't ever tell that to a girl you want to go out with." He suggested, shaking his head. "For some reason, they're all equate 'artistic' with 'sensitive', and apparently, that's 'sexy'."
I snorted in amusement. "You're really glad that Frank's a guy, aren't you?"
"So much." He agreed. "But hey, art doesn't have to be good to be art. Just ask Davenport."
I frowned. "What do you mean, 'ask Davenport'?"
He looked at me. "Oh, you haven't seen the art vault yet, have you?" He chuckled and put his arm around my shoulder. "Oh, do I have a treat for you."
Calla's POV
The others all exchanged looks at Miles' words. "What do you mean 'missing'?" Alivia said slowly, looking between me and Miles.
I took a deep breath. Okay, I could do this. Just keep it professional.
"The Elite Force was first supposed to make contact with Earth on October 31st. However, there was disruptions in the signal making it impossible to make contact." I explained, showing a holographic timeline with October 31st marked by an orange blip.
"Due to solar flares." Jessica remembered. AJ sighed.
"We were only partially sure that was what was causing it." He told her, shaking his head. "It could have been anything, but with nothing else to go on, we had no reason to question it."
"Okay, what about a week ago? They weren't able to make contact then, right?" Alivia questioned.
"Yes. It was the same kind of interference as before, but this time, there was no reason for that to be happening. No solar flares, nothing." I explained. Jessica nodded thoughtfully, frowning deeply.
"What did you tell the kids?" She asked softly. I sighed.
"Solar storm. I didn't want to scare them." I told her. She nodded again, understanding on her face. I pointed at the timeline, and another blip, this one green, appeared further down the line.
"That was December 24th. The next check-in is supposed to be January 7th, but frankly, I'm not too confident about them making contact then."
"There…there could be other reasons why they didn't make contact, right?" Jessica asked, looking around. Miles sighed and took her hand.
"There's more." He told her, squeezing her hand before getting up. I sat down in his place, allowing him to take the floor. I felt Jessica rub my shoulder gently, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.
"So, as you're all semi-aware of, S.H.I.R.T. has been working on creating treaties and agreements with a few of our nearby, planetary neighbours, including Malmarn."
"So, Davenport Industries is allowed to make non-weaponry trade deals with planets like this. We mainly focus on communications, transport, etcetera." I explained, leaning forward on the table. "I cut a deal with the Malmarnians where I would give them their next shipment of communications equipment at cost if they could send me satellite photos from the time when their ship should have passed Malmarn on their way from Caldera to Venusia."
"And?" AJ questioned. I blinked, leaning back in my chair.
"And there was nothing. No sign of the ship. No sign of anything." I said, shaking my head.
"Could they have taken a different route?" Alivia asked sharply. Miles shook his head.
"No." I answered before he could. "Not without extending their trip by weeks at the least. Chase and I went over it over a dozen times."
"So…they're missing." AJ realized. I nodded silently, the others all exchanging looks as they processed this information.
Emily's POV
"Alright-y. Just you and me now." I said to the holo-cyber computer in front of me. With Eddy now deactivated, I didn't have to worry about the AI ratting me out to my grandfather, or about him being a pest and getting in my way. Once I'd deactivated him, it had been easy to sneak into the lower, submerged section of the island where my grandfather kept the more dangerous and classified technologies. "Now, work with me for a little bit, and I'll give you a nice tune-up, alright?"
The computer hummed, almost in response to my words, and I smiled in response. I raised my Davenwatch, and the photos I had on it transferred to the computer. I turned around in the chair and cracked my knuckles. "Okay…"
"There you are." I froze at the sound of Seraphina's voice. I spun around quickly, using my powers to shut down every monitor and holo-projector in the room as she approached the computer. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing." I lied, smiling brightly at the girl. She raised an eyebrow at me. "How'd you find me down here?"
"I have good hearing, and you left the door open to the stairway. You're not really doing nothing though, right?" She questioned. I nodded, getting up.
"Nothing at all. Hey, I love what you did with your hair!" I exclaimed, false-excited. It was really just a simple braid down her left side, the one streak of light blue in her hair mixed into the brown locks.
"Oh, really?" She gasped, reaching up to touch her hair. I nodded, stepping closer.
"I love what you did with-hey!" I protested as she stepped around me and lunged at the computer, turning it back on before I could stop her. "Sera, wait!"
She stepped back, staring at the what was on the screen. "Emily…"
"I can explain." I insisted, getting up. She didn't even look at me. "This isn't what it looks like."
"So, you're not using Mr. Davenport's highly advanced holo-computer that's connected to nearly a dozen government and military satellites around the world to track down Darius? And you didn't use your powers to bypass what I'm guessing was a military-grade security system intended to keep criminals and people like you out it?" She questioned, tone raising in pitching accusingly. I sighed.
"Okay, so maybe it's exactly what it looks like." I admitted. She looked at me, eyes wide. "Look, I can explain!"
"Emily," Sera looked at me, "Calla said that we couldn't use Davenport's military cyber computer, that until Darius does something serious enough to classify himself as a terrorist, we could not get permission to use this technology for that. That using this technology for breaching security rights like that was illegal."
"It's only illegal if someone dies or we get caught." I reasoned. She stared at me. "Look, I'm just going to use one of the satellites, alright? I know he's still in Centium City."
"Okay, we only have time to unpack the second half of that now." She shook herself. "This is why you haven't been freaking out about him being…on the bad guys' team? Because you were looking for him?"
"I…I just want to talk to him." I mumbled. I looked at her. "I just…I need to understand. And I need to talk to him."
She sighed. "How do you know he's still in Centium City? He could have bailed. Actually, it would probably be smart of that entire cabal of criminals to just leave since we have Saturn now."
"Cabal of Criminals, I like that." I hummed thoughtfully. She rolled her eyes.
"Emily!" She snapped. I sighed.
"I've been tracking him for a while now." I admitted with a sigh. "It started out with a couple of sightings from MISS. Not perfect shots – she was only able to give a 60% confirmation on them."
"And you knew about this before Calla, how?" Sera questioned.
"I may have told MISS to tell me first, then only tell Mom if it was an 85% confirmation or higher." I explained. She looked at me. "Mom wouldn't investigate anything less than that anyway, and it allowed me to look into the lesser possibilities."
"And what did you find?" She pressed. I sat back down in the chair.
"I tracked him to a homeless shelter near the mall, and…I went to it." I finished slowly. If it were at all possible, her eyes would have widened even more.
"You went alone?" She demanded.
"Well…no, actually." I sighed. "Remember when I went to go shopping on the 24th? I took Helix with me."
As expected, her expression changed to one that definitely was questioning my intelligence, "No offense Emily, but Helix is hardly a dangerous dog."
"He can vicious when he wants to be." I retorted defensively. "And anyway, Kameron ended up following us when we didn't get off at the mall. So he came with too."
"And what happened?" She questioned. I dropped my head down a little.
"He'd left. Didn't say where he was going." I mumbled. The lady running the shelter could only confirm that he'd been there, not where he had left for. I looked back up at her. "But him being at the shelter to begin with…he must have left his mother and their team."
"You don't know that." Sera shook her head.
"What other explanation is there?" I protested.
"I don't know, to lure you into a trap?" She guessed. I shook my head.
"You're just like my mom. He's not a bad guy!" I argued, standing up to face her.
"You don't know that." She told me, keeping her voice calm.
"You don't know that he is!" I argued. She sighed.
"Emily, that was dangerous. And I can't believe Kameron kept that secret." She muttered the last bit, shaking her head. She looked at me pleadingly. "You can't do that again, Emily. And you can't do this."
"Why not?" I growled.
"Well, again, this part is technically illegal." She pointed out. I rolled my eyes; did she have to keep focusing on that part? "And the first part is dangerous."
"I'm not going to stop looking for him just because you, my mom, and everyone else think he's a bad guy." I snapped. She sighed.
"Then at least take one of us with you. Me, or Kameron. Not just Helix? Even if he's not dangerous, his family are and they might be around." She pleaded. I sighed.
"Fine." I agreed reluctantly.
"And no breaking the law." She added. I sighed. "We can find him another way."
"Alright." I agreed. She smiled and offered me her hand.
"C'mon. Frank found old photos and videos of you guys growing up and he wants to put them on the holo-projector." She told me. "I'm curious to see what evil genius concoctions you came up with when you were little."
"Oh, they would scare you." I agreed, taking her hand and letting her lead me out of the room.
Calla's POV
"So, what are we doing about it?" Alivia questioned. Miles and I exchanged looks, which upset the Irish superhero. "Well?" She demanded. "What are we doing about saving them?"
"The current plan is to mount a rescue. Send a ship after them. But there's problems with that." I sighed, leaning forward on the table so that I could rub my face with my hands without having to lift my elbows from the table.
"You'd have to get approval from the Coalition to take a crew on an intergalactic mission intending on intruding on an occupied planet." Jessica mentioned. She looked around and nodded to herself. "I can streamline it, but it'll take a few weeks at least."
"Oh, that's fine. We don't have a ship capable of that level of spaceflight ready since they took our only one, and even if we start production now, the new one won't be ready until February." I threw out there. "And then it'll take us four months to get to Venusia, so we won't even arrive until June." I shook my head. "They'll have been gone for ten months by that point."
"But we don't have any better solutions." Miles commented with a deep sigh of his own. He sent me an apologetic look that I purposefully ignored. Alivia nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, say that's what we do, who goes? I noticed you said 'we'," she turned to me. "You'll be, what, 6 months, final trimester, by then? You can't go."
"I know." I nodded regretfully. I felt like it should be me going on the trip. It was my former team up there, my husband, my brother, my weird family of friends. It should be my responsibility to save them.
"It can't be you." AJ commented, turning to Alivia. "It'll be eight months before you return; you can't take that amount of time off from the League."
"Dani and Kaz are two of my guys, and the others are all family. I'd go for them." She insisted. Miles shook his head.
"Alivia, that won't work. It won't be like when Spotlight and Scarlet Ace went missing – if something went wrong, you were able to come back or at least consult. That wouldn't be possible." He shook his head. "Realistically, you can't take that kind of time off from the League and I can't take that kind of time off from S.H.I.R.T."
"Then who goes?" Jessica questioned, leaning back in her chair.
"Ben's volunteered." I informed them, addressing Alivia especially. "He's not working right now, aside for from the League, he has no other responsibilities, and he's got hero experience."
"He'd have my approval. He already knows?" She checked. I nodded.
"Yeah, he um…he caught me at a bad time." I admitted. I was very grateful that no one asked for further explanation. "Leo is also aware, and he's informing Davenport, Douglas, and Adam as we speak."
"Naomi?" Jessica checked. I nodded.
"Ben would have told her this morning." I said.
"Who else would go?" Alivia questioned. She looked at me. "I've got other heroes in similar positions to Ben. I'm sure they'd agree to go."
"Leo's going to see if Adam can pick volunteers. I suspect he would want to go as well." I added. She nodded.
"So, we have a team, and a plan." She decided. She looked around. "We should keep thinking on it though. I'd like to see if we can find something quicker."
"Of course." Miles nodded in agreement. I sighed and leaned back in my chair.
Noah's POV
"Hey," Naomi smiled at me in greeting as I made my way into one of the side classrooms. Frank, Dallas, Seraphina, Kira, Kameron, Justine, Emily, Charlotte, Ben, and Naomi were inside, watching what looked like home movies on the holo-projector. "Where have you been?"
"Grandpa Donny's art vault." I answered, shuddering at the too-fresh memory. She grimaced sympathetically.
"Ouch." She said, almost apologetically. Ben chuckled.
"You are just in time." He told me before gesturing at the holographic scene at the other end of the room. I looked over at it, then groaned.
"Oh, god." I muttered, recognizing the scene as my 10th grade school production of Doctor Faustus. I heard Justine laugh as I took a seat next to Seraphina, who offered me some popcorn.
"I didn't know you were into theatre." She commented. I grimaced as the younger version of me fumbled with my lines. I grimaced. "No, it's cute."
"No, it's terrible. I was supposed to be helping direct, not act." I shook my head. "The guy who was supposed to play that part broke his ankle the week before the play, and then stupid Ezra Lewis got too drunk the night before to perform, so they threw me out on stage after giving me five minutes to prepare. It was a mess."
"You still looked like you were having fun." She commented. I glanced back at the holo-image. I had been having fun. It's why I was in theatre all through middle school and high school.
"Yeah." I smiled. "I guess I was."
Calla's POV
"Hey." I looked up at the sound of Jessica's voice. She was standing over me, her hand on my shoulder. The others had all left – AJ wanting to look over ship designs, Alivia needing to get back to her patrol of Centium City, and Miles needing to deal with some other agents. "How're you doing?"
"I'm fine." I said, nodding. She rolled her eyes and walked past me to sit down in one of the other chairs. She pulled it forward, sitting as close as she could to me.
"I'm not one of the kids. I'm not someone who works for you. I'm your friend; you don't have to wear a mask with me." She said softly. I looked at her, feeling tears well up in the corners of my eyes. "Calla…"
"They might not be missing." I told her, blinking harshly. "They could be…they could be…gone."
"We don't know that." She told me gently, squeezing my hand.
"They could be though. They could be, and…God, what am I supposed to tell the kids?" I sucked in a breath, feeling myself start to lose my composure. "God, how I am supposed to tell them any of this?"
"We don't know anything yet, alright? We just know we don't know anything." She assured me. I raised a hand to my mouth.
"God, Jess, they can't be…they can't be dead…he can't…" I was crying now, tears streaming down my face. Jessica leaned forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. "I can't do this without him, Jess."
"I know, I know." She murmured. I dropped my face onto her shoulder.
"I can't do this without him. One daughter going off to college, another on the way…I can't raise two daughters on my own." I cried. She rubbed my back gently. "He can't be gone, they can't be gone."
"It's going to be okay, alright?" She whispered, rubbing my back in a comforting manner. "It's going to be okay?"
Some time later, there was a knock on the door. "Uh…Calla?"
"Yes." I sniffed, quickly pulling away and turning away from the door so that AJ couldn't see me wiping my eyes. "Yes, AJ?"
"Uh…Saturn says he's ready to talk. Ben and the others are on their way back." He told us. I nodded.
"Great. Be there in a second." I told him. I took a few deep breaths to steady myself. Jessica looked at me in concern.
"Are you okay?" She asked gently. I shook my head, even as I forced a smile onto my face.
"No, but…fake it 'till you make it, right?" I took another breath, then nodded. "I've got this."
Emily's POV
"Okay, one hot chocolate, one regular black coffee, and two cappuccinos, one cali-style. Are Kameron and Sera sure they don't want anything? I can go back." I offered, holding the tray in one hand as I walked away from the coffee shop. By time we got back to Centium City, Ben, Naomi, and Leo had gone to meet Mom at the facility where they were holding Saturn, leaving the others to our own devices. And since Mom had neglected to buy more coffee while we were gone, I'd gone to do a caffeine run.
"Nah, they say they're good." Charlotte replied. I nodded, even though she couldn't see it.
"Okay. See you soon." I hung up my Davenwatch. The second I did, someone suddenly grabbed me from behind, a hand covering my mouth. I screamed in reaction, but it was too muffled to be heard as I was dragged into an alleyway. I dropped the coffee and slammed my elbow into the ribs of whoever had grabbed me, but it didn't stop them as they pulled me out of sight of the street.
"Stop screaming, stop screaming." They said to me. I stilled instantly, eyes going wide. "Please, Em, I just want to talk."
This time, when I tried to push away from him, he let me. I stumbled away a few steps before turning around to face Darius, staring at him with wide eyes. "Where the hell have you been?"

Kihonne: So much to unpack there. Like, there's a lot. I'm interested to see where the reviews begin with all of that.
So, Calla and Chase are having a girl! For those of you who voted, thank you, it was very close. Girls only won by a single point, actually. Now, I promised you guys you could vote on the names, and that is true, but we're going to do it a little differently than how we voted on the gender. I've put a poll on my profile (activated the moment I posted this chapter) where you can see the name options and vote for them there. I don't know if you need an account to vote, but if you don't have one and need one, it takes 30 seconds and an email, that's it. Some of you may not like how this possibly limits the voting to only logged in users, but it's the only way I can think of to avoid people voting multiple times for the same name and messing with the results. It's the most fair way I can think of to do it.
I'd still like to hear your reviews guys! There's been a lot happening in the last couple of chapters, some good, some bad. Let me know what you all thought! Anyway, there's only 2 chapters left in the season, so here is the update schedule for that:
November 8th: The Eleventh Hour
November 15th: Stormfall
I'll see you all next week! Until then, have a great week, and don't forget to review!
