'Silver's POV'
It's been four days since Lilian saved me from the white coats. Thanks to my quick healing abilities, I've been able to resume training, but I haven't been able to sleep, tonight is no exception.
I stand, hidden behind a training course, alone with my thoughts.
I was so close to death... I wouldn't have had to go through any of this anymore... Why does everyone want me to live so badly?
Even though I have Kadence, these thoughts still plague my mind.
What is so important that I have to live for? Why can't I just die?!
"Silver, what are you doing awake?" I hear Cole's voice, making me jump a little
"Just thinking..." I answer
"About what?" He asks, walking to stand in front of me. I look at the ground
"About why everyone wants me to live so badly."
"You don't want to live?"
"Well..."
"What about Kadence, and Lilian, and Sensei, and... Me?" I look up at him
"Cole, of course I want to live for you guys... But..." A tear falls down my cheek "I just want to be normal... To not have white coats ready to kill me at any minute!" I raise my voice, but not in an angry tone
"Silver, it doesn't matter what you are... You're amazing and..." He seems flustered, but Cole never gets flustered
"And what?" I smirk at him. He returns the gesture and carefully pushes my back into the wall
"And I love you." I push my lips to his in a short kiss
"I love you too." I didn't hesitate this time, I didn't even have trouble saying it. He looks surprised for only a second before he smiles and reconnects our lips.

"Mommy, wake up. Wake up!" I hear Kadence calling me
I open my eyes and see that I was sleeping on Cole's chest
"I see you're finally awake." I can hear the smirk in Cole's voice. I don't know why, but having everyone see me sleep on Cole's chest is extremely embarrassing to me
"Yeah... Um..." I get off of him and stand up, helping him up after. Lilian looks at me with an all-knowing smile, to which I playfully glare at her
"Breakfast!" One mutant calls, everyone rushes into another room, the room where we eat our meals.
This becomes routine, we eat, train, eat, then sleep. Things go well for weeks, until that night, the night where everything might fall apart...
I'm sitting on my sleeping bag, cradling Kadence in my arms and trying to get him to fall asleep
"So you're the legend?" A young black panther mutant asks. I've seen Kadence playing with her, I think her name is Midnight
"Yeah... Or so everyone keeps telling me." I smile at her
"You can do it Silver. We all believe in you." She smiles, then runs back to her sleeping bag. It makes me feel warm inside to know that everyone believes in me... But there's a lingering coldness that I might let them down...
I set Kadence into my sleeping bag and stand up. Most of the children mutations have fallen asleep already, probably exhausted from training today.
I walk into our security room, where Nya spends most of her time. Sensei, Garmadon, Misako and the guys sit at the table in one corner of the room
"No! Sensei, the white coats found us!" Nya turns from the screen, where images of the outside of the hideout are shown. I see many white coats and guards searching our sand dune, looking for an entrance
"There aren't that many, but get all mutations ready for battle!" He demands.
Not that many?! There has to be three institutions worth of guards out there!
"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Nya calls over the speakers.
I run out to the other mutants, grab my bow and quiver, and run to Kadence. He's standing on my sleeping bag, looking around in a panic
"Kadence!" The door of the hideout is broken down as I pick him up
"Where's Midnight?!" He asks as I rush to take all of the kids into the safe room. They've been training, but they still aren't ready to fight.
"There she is!" I pick her up as well, I place them down with the rest of the kids
"I love you." I kiss his forehead before closing the large metal door and locking it using my hand print. The lock has been designed to only accept the guys, Sensei, Misako, Garmadon, Lilian or my own handprint.
'Kadence's POV'
I sit with my back against the wall, my head in my knees. Midnight sits beside me. All of the other child mutations talk amongst themselves, waiting anxiously for the door to open
"Kadence, we're going to be alright..." She puts her hand on my shoulder
"I know... But they might not..." My mother is out there right now, risking her life for us... Again...
"Hey, we shouldn't worry about what we can't control." A boy who looks to be a few years older than me holds his hand out to me. He's a bear mutant
"Thanks." I take his hand and stand up. Midnight stands up too
"No problem. My name's Joey, pleased to meet you." I shake his hand
"Kadence." He nods approvingly
"You're her son." I nod and he pats me on the back
"We're all going to make it though this." The other kids had stopped talking
"Of course we will. With Silver leading us, we're sure to win!" Another boy calls, earning a cheer from the rest of the crowd.
Wow, there sure is a lot of pressure on my mom... She can do it. I know she can.
