     (Y/n) lead Shadow, Silver, (f/n), and (s/n) through an isolated forest on the outskirts of Station Square.

Almost everyone had different emotions on their faces. Shadow looked serious but confused to as where (y/n) was taking the group. Silver and (f/n) were both completely confused and both looked suspicious. While (s/n) knew exactly where (y/n) was taking them and looked conflicted about how she should feel.

     "(Y/n)? Why are we coming here?" (S/n) asked, drifting up to (y/n)'s side, "I would've preferred to never come back here again."

     "Yes, I would like to know where we're going." Shadow agreed, appearing on the other side of (y/n).

     (Y/n) had barely talked to Shadow since her realization of her feelings. She wasn't sure how to react to her feelings, she had never felt this way, even with Grey.

     Right, Grey. (Y/n) grumbled in her mind. He had shown up at a park while she was with Rouge and Blaze, Grey had his supposed therapist with him. (Y/n) wasn't sure if she should believe him or not. She was deciding to ignore it for now, until this thing with Leader was over.

     "Hello? (Y/n)? You in there?" (Y/n) was pulled from her thoughts by (s/n) gently tapping her arm.

     (Y/n) shook off (s/n) and sped up slightly to a thorn bush in front of them. "We're here." She said shortly.

     (S/n) frowned. "What do you mean?" She demanded, "This was never here before!"

     (Y/n) gave her a deadpan look as she found a place to rip the thorns away. "It's been 6 years sister, what'd you expect?"

     (Y/n) pulled the bush's sharp branches away to reveal (y/n) and (s/n)'s childhood home.

Shadow

     Shadow could feel the anxiety radiating off of (s/n) as (y/n) pulled away the thorn bush. (Y/n)'s emotions were harder to read, but he saw in her eyes that she was fearful and sad.

     Shadow wished he could understand (y/n) better, (b/n) had already told Shadow that he was the one who understood (y/n) the most. But Shadow still felt as if his understanding wasn't enough.

     "(Y/n), why are we going here?" (S/n) asked, "I don't think this'll be good for either of us."

     (Y/n) looked at her emotionlessly. "It's your decision," she said indifferently, "You can go home, or you can come with me. But I'm going whether you like it or not."

     (s/n) grumbled something Shadow didn't hear and ducked under the bush towards the building.

     Shadow followed behind her, nodding slightly as he passed by (y/n). She had been different ever since she was forced to have two mobians with her at a time, he understood if she was annoyed with it, but it seemed more that she was avoiding something.

     He saw the full view of the building as he came out behind (s/n). It was a huge building with a short roof, hiding it from the sight of anyone just above the tree line. Oddly, the building was made out of a type of metal. There were large doors that looked like the only entrance, the doors were slightly ajar, and Shadow couldn't see through the darkness in the door.

     "What the hell?" Silver muttered as he appeared after (f/n), "What is this place?"

     (Y/n) appeared behind them and walked to (s/n)'s side. "It's all coming back to me," (S/n) murmured, "every single moment."

     (Y/n) glanced at (s/n) with something resembling sympathy in her eyes. "I understand, (f/n)? It looks like you've figured this out."

     Shadow glanced back at (f/n) who had a face of grimace. "(B/f/n)'s brother told me what happened to their parents. It was over there." (F/n) pointed to the left of the building, "It's where their parents died, (b/f/n) doesn't know either. I don't know what this building is though."

     (Y/n) looked down slightly. "Sasha and Yang. I saw them, it wasn't a pretty sight." She said sorrowfully, "This is my and (s/n)'s first home. The home where everything went to shit."

     Shadow shared a glance with Silver before (b/n) appeared next to him. "You know what
happened." (B/n) said grimly, "I haven't even been back in my death."

     "Well, what happened?" Silver asked, "And why is this house in the middle of nowhere?"

     (Y/n) turned away from the group, purposely hiding her face from them all.

     (S/n) glanced at her sister, the slightest bit of sympathy on her face. "Well," (s/n) started, "this is where (y/n) and I's family got killed."

     (F/n) and Silver were quickly right next to Shadow, both shooting out questions, Shadow had only caught some of what (f/n) had said. "This is where that happened?" (F/n) asked snappily, "Why did you take us here (y/n)? This cannot be good for you."

     (Y/n) turned back around, an emotionless glare on her face. "I understand how you would think that, but I feel like this is one of the only places a certain wolf will not find me." (Y/n) said, beginning to walk backwards towards the building before turning around, "But I thought we could find some more information on these secret powers of mine."

     (F/n) seemed to understand what (y/n) meant, by cringing slightly, while everyone else expressed confusion. Well, Shadow sort of knew what she meant, but still didn't know the entire story.

     (S/n) looked confused as well as concerned. "Is there something I'm missing?" She questioned, "Somebody want to explain this?"

     Silver was about to say something but (f/n) slapped his back, making Silver jump. "Nope! Nobody's gonna know anything else!"

     (F/n) quickly moved past them to follow right behind (y/n). Shadow noticed him whispering to her but she seemed to brush him off as they reached the door.

     (Y/n) looked at (s/n). "Would you like to help me?" She offered, "I have a feeling you aren't over this."

     (S/n) made a face before sighing. "Fine," she grumbled, then muttered, "maybe I do need a damn therapist after all."

     (F/n) stepped back to allow (y/n) and (s/n) to pull open the door. Shadow and Silver glanced at each other then both at (f/n). All three of them knew what they were going to find wasn't going to be good.
