He was bigger than she remembered.
"Connor?" she whispered squatting down beside his bed.
She pushed a chestnut curl off of his forehead and looked at him.
Connor? If you hear me, open your eyes
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Lux?" he whispered.
She smiled.
"You remember me?" she asked.
"Of course," he replied trying to sit up "Little girl, asked too many questions."
"Lie back," she said pushing on his shoulder gently" I'm here to help."
Another vision had led her here, to the small Irish town where Connor had come after the end of the Hybrid Project. His powers were on a fritz and she had come immediately.
"What's happening?" he asked.
"Your DNA," she replied slipping her tiny hand into his much larger hand "Its..."
He touched her face with his hand and smiled.
"I'm dying," he said.
"Not if I can help it," she exclaimed.
Connor could feel it, a strange breeze swept across his face and a pure white light swept from the tiny girl sitting next to him. He could feel the effect of her immediately.
"How...What?" he stammered as he rose to his feet.
She laughed and looked up at him.
"I'll explain some other time," she said "We have work to do."
Lux stood at Revolution's door and watched as Jesse propped her up and pulled her hair up and away from her face.
"I'll sit with her," she said.
He looked at her.
"You have work to do," she exclaimed smiling "Don't shake your head at me, I know."
Jesse laughed and kissed Revolution's forehead.
"Tell her I'll be in the lab if she needs me," he whispered.
"Will do," she exclaimed.
The girl walked slowly as if not knowing what to expect.
"You must be Riley," Said Lux.
She pushed her hair behind her ears and nodded.
"Adam tells me that you are quite the computer whiz kid," Lux exclaimed "You have to meet
Max, our telecyber master of surveillance and security, you two will get along famously."
Riley smiled brightly.
"We'll get you settled and then Jax can take you to meet him," said Lux.
Revolution reminded her of herself at 19.
"Me at 19," she exclaimed laughing.
That was just as she and Jax had begun The Ring.
