"If you say you loved daddy, then I believe you, it really seemed like you did, like you do...gah, I wish he was he was here, he'd know what to do about Legion, and then we could just do it and let everyone be safe from him again." the blonde teen says hugging her mom tightly, clinging like her mother was a life raft, much as she had with Tommy overnight.
Her mother just nods, not really responding.

"I don't know what to call him...I've met him a couple of times, and well, I just called him Bishop, but if he's also my dad, I don't really want to call him that either, it doesn't seem right, and its not his fault we didn't know about each other, so I shouldn't punish him or anything...but it probably doesn't matter, I mean, Paragon has him, he's probably off to some super secret prison somewhere." she says bitterly. One dad gone, and now a second was probably somewhere she'd never be able to see him again.
"I hope not," her mother whispers.

As her mom turns on the TV and goes channel surfing to CNN and the image of her grandfather giving the pres conference, she looks at her mom in horror as if the thought that he might have been Legionized. "Grandpa Chuck too? Do you think Grandmom, and Grandpa Ed are...were Legionized too?" she asks naming her other set of grandparents. "This is all my fault, he said he was going to get rid of everyone around me til I had no choice but to love him... do you think he'd really do all that." she asks, sounding even more miserable.
"This isn't your fault honey, you can't control the actions of this madman..." her mother comforts her.

"Maybe we can get Tommy to make more of those things that he used to get Legion out of you? We can't jus sit here and let Legion take over all of the Mitchell foundation...he killed Daddy, but I wont let him get his company too." the young blonde girl said determinedly, she sat upright and watched the press conference attentively wondering where it was being held, and what she could do about it.
"I agree, we can't let him get away with this," her mother says softly.
The door slides open and Bishop stands there, he walks in the door sliding behind him. He looks surprised to see Kelly and her mother awake, and hesitates to speak. He gathers his composure, “Good morning, I wanted to see how you were both doing… perhaps I should come back at another time?”
Kelly’s mother glances to Kelly, “I don’t mind if Kelly does not.”
Cafeteria
Tina blinks, “Whoa summoning a demon, you mean like that Yoshi clone thing, or the evil Kelly thing? Is that wise? I thought they were the bad guys? Ryan we definitely have to be there, I don’t think this will end anywhere near good.”
Aya smirks, “I am so there, what about you Gadget?”
Gadget nods, “I will try, Paragon wants me to go over SARAH’s programming code line by line, for security reasons. But I think I should be able to get that done with plenty of time to spare and cheer Gilden on!”
SARAH announces, “January 20th, the first Mudaba Adin Institute Talent Festival, open to all students, with the Winter Dance following the event! Come out and support your fellow students! See the Institute Home Page for more details. This will be the event of the season!”
Aya grins, “A dance… sounds like a party, and here I am with nothing to wear…”
Karen
Kal laughs, “Now breakfast, I am good at.” The two enter the cafeteria and see their friends all sitting around the same table.
