Chaos is helpful

Chapter 2

The Damnation greeted their newest sister with shouts of joy. Petra was startled by this group of teens. How was a group of teens going to take down the Government, much less Syndicate? Nevertheless, she saw their inner fire, craving for justice.

Nearly all of the teens had strange features about them. Hair colored ranged from a beautiful platinum, to turquoise seas, to the darkest of blacks. It was quite impressive, especially their tattoos. A small, young child stood out in the group by her cotton candy hair.

"Ryker!" The small child jumped into the leaders outstretched arms.

"Penelope!" He cooed at his little sister. Penelope grinned at her older brother and wrapped her small nine year old arms around his neck.

"How was the mission brother? Did it go good?" Penelope asked innocently, her eyes wide with love for him. Ryker chuckled at his little sister, no matter how much she was taught by Zara, she still used good where well should be. He was beginning to think that she did it on purpose

"It did sis, didn't take us long at all." Ryker shifted his hold on Penelope and shifted her so he could hold her with one arm.

Petra was being bombarded with people. She always had a mild disliking toward crowds, so this was killing her. The electric eyed leader saved Petra from all the questions by introducing her to his sister.

"Petra, this is my little sister Penelope." Penelope gave Petra a toothy grin before reaching over and grabbing a lock of purple hair.

"Hello, I really like your hair. It's pretty. How old are you?" Petra froze as Penelope touched her hair, it was an instinct to get away whenever someone touched her hair. It always led to bad things afterwards.

"Thanks. I'm seventeen, and you?" She kept her sentences short to give her parched throat some relief.

"You are almost as old as Ryker, he's eighteen. I'm nine, turned nine a month ago. In a few years I'll be able to go on missions like my brother." Penelope said happily.

Her and Ryker had easily the most amazing sibling relationship there's ever been. Since Ryker was the only other family she knew, he was everything to her, and her to him. He was the only guardian and parent figure to Penelope, he's all she's ever known.

Petra smiled faintly before being pulled away by an excited Keet. A smaller group circled the returned team, a few of Ryker's closest and longest friends. Ryker set Penelope down and moved to introduce the group.

"Petra, this is Bjorn." He pointed to a large man with dark skin like dark chocolate, and metallic bronze eyes, who nodded his head in recognition.

"West and Chessie, she's blind so don't expect much help from her." The pair lounged on a couch, looking up at their boss when their names were called. The boy had a stunning turquoise hair, warm brown eyes, with his arm around the girl. His body lean like a swimmer's. The girl smirked and ran a hand through her luscious chestnut hair, her green eyes training on nothing in particular.

"Thanks boss, I feel so loved." Chessie mocked lightly. Ryker smiled playfully and turned to the others.

"This is Rhea, honorary mother of The Damnation, she takes care of the infants and toddlers. Also cooks and makes everyone clean. She should have dinner ready. There you can tell us all about yourself." Rhea was holding an infant in her arms, her messy dark blue hair was up in a bun haphazardly. She held out a hand toward Petra, making sure the baby stayed asleep.

"Pleasure to meet you Petra. It's nice to have some fresh blood. Come, I have food." At the word of food Petra's body involuntarily shivered in delight.
