Are you okay?" Joanne asked, sitting beside her son on the bed."No, yes..I mean..no," Jared stuttered in confusion trying to understand what happened and how he arrived home."How did I get here?" Jared asked after realizing he had no memory of returning home from the fortress."What do you mean? This is where you have always been, your home," his mother chuckled, hiding her confusion. Deep down inside, she wished she understood what her son was saying."No, no way," Jared said, holding his head with his hands in disappointment.

"AFTER BRINGING THE scrawnies under our control then what next?" Henry asked, intruding his father's privacy even though he had said he wanted to be alone.Virion chuckled as he laid on the bed before speaking."I must say that I am really impressed with you. You've grown to be a very smart, charming young man," he teased."Answer the question," Henry blurted. He was not having it easy with his father. The only reason he had not opposed Virion's plans was because he was his father and furthermore, he wouldn't want to do it in the presence of the rest of his crew.
