(Quick shoutout to iiMakaykayii , she helps out a lot with this story and was a big help with this chapter especially! Go check her awesomeness out and maybe give her a follow!)

John's POV

Today I get to start training my assigned groups of Human Garde. They are grouped according to their legacies, and will switch groups every week. I'm assigned combined legacies, Six and Marina are sharing matter legacies, Nine has physical legacies, and Ella has mind legacies.

I turn on my lamp and go to make coffee, when I remember what happened last night. I shudder and almost shut down again. This time I don't let myself though. I shake the images out of my head and force myself onward. I also remember Six is probably still here.

I turn on some more lights as I head to the kitchen. I turn on the living room lights and see Six. She's tangled up in a blanket, her hair spews all around her, the look of peace she has on her face when she's sleeping is, in a way, beautiful. I almost don't want to disturb her. But I know I need to, so I walk up to the couch and give her a nudge.

"You should wake up," I say.

Six's eyes flutter open, and they focus on me.

"I should," she groans, and sits up.

I give her a warm smile.

"I'm making coffee," I say.

"That's great," she grumbles before standing.

I head into the kitchen to see that the coffee is almost done.

Six unceremoniously steps into the kitchen, roughly opening the cupboard and reaching for a mug, she quickly selects one and floats the one she knows is my favorite over to me.

"Thanks," I say.

She shrugs and sits at the counter.

Once we are happily sipping coffee at the counter, Six seems to have woken up a little more. And we have been talking about our groups

"How come you only have three people for the first one again?" Six asks.

"Because they are the only ones with combined legacies," I say.

"Why can't you take some of the kids off our hands?" Six groans.

"I wanted more but the principal had them all organized already and she wanted to stick to the original plan of legacy organizations only," I explain.

"Ah," Six says, obviously annoyed.

I chuckle.

Six raises and eyebrow and looks at me.

"What's so funny?"
