The Past

Joey - fine, let's get out here

(timothy disappeared and joey flew up to the top floor and shot right through the glass skylight and was in the air to see where his brother was and seen him and flew down to him as the building crumbled on top of itself)

(joey finally landed on the ground and saw his brother's standing there but aphrodite fell down to the ground and dontae caught her)

Dontae - hey, are you alright?

(aphrodite was silent and they knew the feeling very well considering they went through something similar)

Dontae - it's going to be fine, he won't get away with this i swear it

(the other boys were all looking at each other)

Timothy - so what do we do with her?

Aj - she doesn't come back with us

Joey - never thought i'd agree with him but he's right she was apart of this and they were going to kill us

Timothy - but she ended up saving us, you can't repay that kind of debt

(aj and joey understood what they were saying and reluctantly agreed)

Aj - fine she can come but that doesn't mean i trust her

Joey - but where will we go?

Timothy - i have a loft we can stay at on the other side of town

Dontae - that's perfect we can leave no-

(two kids were running down the alleyway and were out of breath and it was euphoria and lotus)

(aj looked at timothy and dontae who faces were full of guilt)

Aj - you guys are horrible guardians, how could you forget they were here?

Dontae - sorry us almost dying was heavy on my mind

Joey - i knew you guys were forgetting something

(lotus looked at him like how could you forget a kid and euphoria walked up to timothy)

Euphoria - where's barrage? Did you find him?

(timothy couldn't bear the thought of seeing her hurt but he knew it was for the best)

Timothy - he's gone, i'm sorry… but i promise you we'll avenge him no matter what it takes

Timothy - his death won't go unpunished i can guarantee it

(euphoria looked at him with tears running down her face and nodded and timothy hugged her)

(lotus saw aphrodite rising to her feet)

Lotus - it was you who tried to kill me

Dontae - we know but that's a conversation for another time

Timothy - alright guys i'm going to take aphrodite and the kids first, i have a mark on the loft

(he disappeared and about thirty seconds later he came back and his brother's were waiting for him)

Dontae - hey i'm sorry guys i wasn't in the best of shape last time we were together plus i said and did a lot of terrible things in the past so i understand if you guys want someone else to take ov-

Joey - you're the leader and we all made mistakes it's not just on you

(he felt relief and they all grabbed hold of timothy and they were in the loft with the kids waiting and it had three floors and they were on the second which was the command center set up with cameras and high tech computers and the first floor was the training room with all the weapons and combat gear they needed with punching bags and wooden training dummies)

Dontae - how did you get all this?

Timothy - well i was trying to catch the Old Generation so i did it with barrage's help, it took a lot of work

Joey - we can make this our base of operations

Aj - what's on the top floor?

(timothy gestured for them to follow up and it was huge because he knocked out one wall to make more space but it had four bedrooms and enough open space that he had four more beds in separate areas)

Timothy - we live on the top floor and the kids can each have a room and aphrodite you can take that one over their

(timothy saw the last room which was barrage's and they all looked down nervously and aphrodite felt guilty)

Timothy - if you guys don't mind can we leave that one alone?

Dontae - of course

Joey - yeah no problem

Aphrodite - i'm sorry, my brother was wrong for what he did but he was just following orders

(the boys were silent but euphoria was hurt most of all)

(euphoria walked into her room but right before she entered)

Euphoria - your brother will pay for what he did to barrage, i'll make certain of it

(she closed her door and everyone else went to their rooms or beds and got some much needed rest but aphrodite stayed up thinking)

(aphrodite self thoughts- "can i trust them?" "Will they trust me, can they?" "i'm officially on the opposite side of this battle and i abandoned my brother")

(she rolled over to her side and shut her eyes)
