The four of us left and headed to where the Underground is left. In the motel, as Lorna went to see Marcos, Andy, Monty, and I went to the Struckers.
I could see that Andy was nervous to return, I put my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me wide-eyed, with worry hidden. He gripped my hand and held on tight.

As we make it to the front door, he knocks. It was Reed who had answered the door. The man was stunned to see his son in their front door.

I stood in my place as Andy made his way inside. His mom immediately hugged him right after Reed, not believing that he was there.
By the time it came to Lauren, Andy was quite scared to see if she would take him back.

He had hurt her, betrayed them.
Andy did understand if she couldn't, but it would hurt like hell for him.
Lauren had stood up from her chair and slowly made her way to her brother. She opened her arms and hugged him on the spot.

The Struckers were reunited.

Seeing them, I thought of my brother.
Seeing them, I didn't even want to think of how Jack would feel when he sees my room empty. I didn't want to imagine the panic he will endure in thinking I'd abandoned him, my own brother. I knew by leaving the Inner Circle, it will hurt him, but I would be hurting myself for staying with them any longer.

Looking at the family, I envied them. I envied how Kate fought for her kids, I envied how Reed was still in their lives, and I envied how Lauren and Andy were still together in things, despite being miles apart.
As much as the family has been divided, they always come back to each other; I will never get that.

We were all in a full meeting.
The Underground has reunited... of course, with missing few core people.
It had turned out Clarice had passed away from Sentinel Services.

"So we're just gonna attack?" Caitlin questioned, "Last I heard, she was in a fortress."

"Well, we didn't have the power to attack a fortress before," Marcos states." Now we do, plus more." He turned to the Strucker siblings than to Monty and me.

"Kid, what can you do?" He asked Monty.

The boy beside me was stunned by the question but quickly goes. "I-I can move through molecules. Reeva mostly trained me for hiding in between walls——"
