"Sister."
"Sister."
"Wha……." Addison gasped. Then it hit her. All those wiped memories. All this time…………….Addison gave a small nod, tears forming in her eyes.
Jay's eyes widened. "Wait wait wait, hold on, you guys are related?!"
Tears began to stream down her face and her eyes glowed brighter.
"You..you do? she asked softly, searching Addi's face, afraid to hope.
"Yeah. I do." Addison choked out as a sob escaped her. "They wiped my memories but I remember now."
Lucille was a very emotional person, she started quietly sobbing. This is to sweet.
(This is the best plot twist eva)
"Wait, isn't your sister supposed to sorta be dead?!"
"Oh, well, I guess I didn't clarify that they jettisoned her in a pod," Phoenix explained, "They were worried it would ruin their reputation if they seemed TOO cruel," Her eyes darkened, "As though there is a good way to kill your child."
"Oh, that makes more sense."
Addison hugged her knees, now remembering the cruelty of her parents. "They were so horrible."
Jay stared down at his hand, not knowing what to do in these kinds of situations
Phoenix wrapped her arms around Addi.
"where you-" she started, "Where you happy on Earth?"
Addison leaned into Phoenix. "I always thought that something was missing."
Lucille just quietly scooted back and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
After just sitting there a few moments, Phoenix turned to the others.
"My- our- parents are still alive," she explained with a frown, "And they will pose a problem since they're… well, they're the king and queen of the planet."
Jay groaned. "Oh, wonderful. We'll all royally die now."
"So that's what Cyprus meant." Addison said quietly. "What do we do?"
Phoenix rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous, Jay, we're not going to die. We are more than powerful enough to either avoid them or defeat them, but we need a strategy."
"Guys, can we go back to the ship? I'm exhausted from holding up that shield. I don't know how much longer I can stat awake."
“Finally someone with a decent plan, we head back to the ship and tomorrow we find the satellite.”
"Alright, I'll make a portal."
"Yeah, we should camp out in the ship for a day or two while we figure everything out."
Addison used the wall to help herself stand up. She took a shaky breath and stepped forward.
(And falling on her face)
