I wake up and look around then I see Dad naked. "I really need a place of my own." I say throwing him a towel, "I'm leaving all we have hot pockets and I need coffee."
"Will you get me some too?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"That's what I thought dad," I get dressed and leave. A few minutes later I walk back in with two coffees and breakfast sandwich for myself. I walk over to dad seeing the security cam footage, "we'll find her," I say handing him his coffee. "I know kid. Thank you."
"Your welcome."

I walk into Vought has dad went to see the Susan,  "hey Isla."
"Good morning," i walk over to my desk with my laptop and I feel everyone staring at me, "can I just do my job."
"Isla Madame Stilwell what's to see you," I sigh and get up. I walk into her office, "please sit."
I sit down, "we wanna make you a hero."
"No just because I have powers doesn't mean I wanna be like Homelander. The flashy outfits there not me it's never been me," I say looking at Stilwell as I open the back of my phone. "Shit I have to go we will talk about this later," She leaves and I get up placing a bug under her desk. I get to her laptop pulling my flash drive out and I copy her files to it and leave the building.

I get back to the apartment, and I grab my laptop, "did you get it?" I ask dad.
"The boys are working on it."
"We'll I bugged Stillwell."
"You are my kid," I smile when he said that, "let's find Becca."
"Well bring her home. Dad can I ask you a question?"
"Of course but we have to go," I nod and we leave for the triad. We get there and dad lets the boys out a cell, "what a mess? You alright," I hear dad ask Hughie as I look at bodies. "Did they get punched to death?"
"Yeah a supe. She was prison here probably a test subject," M.M says to me then holds up a syringe, "hey butcher come check this out," dad walks over and I go to Hughie. "You ok?"
"Oh yeah just watched a tiny woman kill people with her fist."
"She sounds hot," I say and he chuckles. I hug him and whisper, "I'm glad your ok." I feel him hug me back. "Me too."
"Alright we find out where this came from and why a-train is running it?" I say to them.
"Could be a side hustle or a Vought thing."
"And who was in that cell," dad say.
"Ask him he let her out," I sigh and we hear Hughies phone ding and I grab it. "Aww you and Annie are texting that's so cute."
"Annie as in starlight."
"Yeah we have a date we'll it's not a date the word date wasn't even mentioned we just kinda platonically exchanged information a while." Hughie nervously blabs
"Your going and your gonna bug her phone."
"As a rule i dont go out After Bloody massacres."
"I'll go. Annie's cute and we get along. Beside if I go with Hughie and Annie then you know it'll get done."
"You'll both go end of discussion."

Before we leave for the bowling, i go back to the apartment. I sit down with my laptop put Stillwell files on to it, "hey did you find anything?" Dad ask.
"Not yet the files are copying over it should take a few hours and I need a shower," I say and get up going to the shower. I lock the door and take my shirt off and I look down at my forearms bruised, "shit again." After a shower I meet Hughie and Annie at the bowling alley. "Hey sorry im Late."
"It's fine you ok?" Hughie asks me and I nod sitting down. I hear Hughie and Annie talking, "you wanna throw one?" Annie ask me and I shake my head no. "I just came to hang out with my friends."
"So what's translucent like?" Hughie ask and I facepalm and mouth you are an idiot to him. "That's conversation left turn."
"I mean Your said everyone is a dick so is he a dick."
"He has no respect for boundaries but he has a kid. Divorce Or something the kids name Hunter or Allen."
"Sorry about Hughie hes Slow."
"Im not slow."
"No just an idiot," i say to him then I get a call, "hey dad what's up? Yeah yeah I'll be there," I get up. "Everything ok?"
"Yeah have fun. Hughie I'll fill you in later and don't be a pussy," I say and I leave a very confused Hughie.

I get to the train station with the boys, " Ezekiel's Supe charity What's that Jesus fuck have to do with it?" I hear dad say and I smile keeping an eye out for are missing girl. "We find the girl we find out."
"Alright platforms, downstairs, I'll take upstairs kid go with Frenchie," we all Go Are separate directions. As Frenchie and I walk we hear a show so we follow the sound all the way to the back, Frenchie texts my dad and I keep an eye on the door making sure we haven't been followed. I look at my phone seeing a text from Hughie, we should go out one day just you and me Athena. I text him back, yeah I'd like that just a little busy rn wanna get a drink later?
God yes, I smile at the text and put my phone in my pocket and i see the girl run out. I run after her, following her. "Hey stop!" I yell and she turns around, "I'm not gonna hurt you. I promise. I'm just like you," I say blasting a table apart. She runs off again, "fuck," I continue running after her but I lose her, "kid where did she go?"
"I don't know," I turn around and see Frenchie and Mothers milk fighting. "You know fuck you butcher fuck you I'm done. We're all gonna end up like Mallory," he says and I pat my dad shoulder flicking them all off as I go find the girl. "Your dad gives the worse pep talks," Frenchie says to me. "Yeah it's why I walk away when he starts talking just please for me guys stop fighting," I say to M.M and Frenchie they nod. We get to the bottom platform, we chase after her  but she jumps down on to the tracks, I jump down following dad is gonna kill me suddenly the girl and I are picked up and runned off.

We get to an abandoned platform, "hey asshole!" I scream blasting him into a wall, I help the girl up then we hear Frenchie yell about A-train as the girl runs off with me, "stop it's ok we're gonna protect you please." I turn around and see Dad, Frenchie and Mothers Milk. "They're my family," I say as Frenchie walks over. I run over to dad covering my face in shirt as he throws the smoke bomb while the girl attacks Frenchie, "you ok?"
"Yeah," we walk over to the girl passed out and Frenchie, "she ain't no spice girl." He wraps an arm around my waist, "you sure your ok?"
"Yeah dad I can handle myself against a supe. You made sure of that."
"Let's get them out of here."
