Pure went and helped everyone at Mission control to sort out any damages and make any repairs. They left the space weapons and some of the shuttle armor at the station but kept the blackbird form as thanks. Pure let the team head back to the fort for some rest. Pure and Alisha got some information about Luke's Family and headed to where he lived. They flew and touched down on the street where the address was given.

Pure: No weapons, let's not scare them.

Alisha: All right, this is the first time I ever had to do this.

Pure: Yeah, same for me.

They put away their weapons, changed back to normal form and hid their tails from everyone. They approached the door and knocked. They waited until someone answered in which they did.

Woman: Hello, how can I help you?

Pure: Good morning miss, do you know a Captain Luke?

Woman: Yes, he is my husband why do you ask?

Pure: I'm sorry for your loss.

Woman: Is he? No it can't be?

Alisha: Here, it's best if you sit down.

Alisha escorts her to the couch and starts to tell of what happened at the space station. Just then a baby starts crying in the room.

Woman: Will you excuse me please?

Pure: No I got it, trust me.

Pure went to the other room to find a baby crying. Pure picked the baby up and its blanket. He brought it to the woman.

Woman: Thank you, I cannot believe the UDI did that to you, your own family.

Pure: will you promise to freak out at what was the result?

Woman: Promise.

Pure and Alisha showed their tails and reactors to her.

Woman: Whoa! Are you contagious?!

Alisha: Exactly the opposite, actually.

Woman: I can't believe how you two are still alive.

Pure: Perhaps God wants us here to set what is right.

The baby was still crying in the woman's arms.

Woman: Oh I'm sorry for all the noise.

Pure: Here, I know a few tricks.

The woman handed pure the baby, he wrapped it up in the blanket and then his tail. He then whistled a tune gently in its ear and it started to settle. He rocked it gently and it started to sleep soundly.

Woman: Thank you.

Pure handed the baby back to the woman and it was still sleeping.

Alisha: How did you do that?

Pure: Dealing with my family's babies all the time, it taught me some ways to keep them settled while I worked.

Woman: At least his father died serving his country.

Pure: I know it's against military regulations, but I got permission from the president to give you this?

Pure shows the damaged dog tags to the Woman.

Woman: -Cries- Thank you.

Alisha: Would you like sometime alone?

Woman: Let me call a friend before you go, thank you for stopping by and giving these to me.
Pure gives the dog tags to the woman and waits for her friend to come. When her friend came, Pure and Alisha went outside in the yard not to let anyone see them take off. Once they got airborne they went back to the fort. When they got back to the fort everyone was hard at work.
