Seán's POV

A blinding light coming in from both windows woke me up from the deep sleep I'd fallen into. Confusion and sleep still fogging up my mind I sit up keeping my eyes mostly covered. Glancing between my fingers I realize Y/N isn't on the bed anymore and my eyes and brain finally snap awake in a panic until I see her standing by the left window.

I walk up beside her and gently pull her back from the window, I don't know what's going on this time but I'm not about to risk her being taken from me again. She takes my hand in a comforting gesture as she continues to watch and listen. She presses our palms together and I can suddenly hear people speaking in my head, she's sharing her gift with me again.

"Don't you think landing right in their base is a bit risky?" One man asked.

"How do you figure?" Another responded, lazily.

"They were just attacked last week, and by my brutish son no less. He killed one of them!"

He sounds both sad and very disappointed. Then again, what good parent wouldn't be after what happened?

"I guess thats a good point, but it's a little late for that. I'm sorry we weren't able to keep an eye on your son. We'll just have to convince them of the truth regardless of what he did. We know they want to go home and we came here to take them back so we need to show them we mean no harm. Any ideas?"

"The Mutant I put in with them. Have you been keeping up with them? I know you don't watch the live footage as much as the rest of the world does. She's taken the lead for the most part. If we can prove to her that we're allies the rest will likely follow her instincts. Besides, she can read our minds if she wants to so she'll know we're sincere when we meet with them."

"Good plan, I'm planting down the landing gear. Strap in."

The voices cut out when she lets go of my hand and motions for me to follow her. Almost everyone is out in the main room when we come out when the whole base suddenly rumbles and shakes around us before calming down moments later. That must have been the ship landing on top of the base.

"Everyone grab anything you want to keep from your rooms and hurry back here." Y/N commands, going back to grab her own things.

I run into our room and grab my heated blade, the Leviathan tooth, and the medical PDA wrapping them in my dry clothes in order to hold them easier. Y/N already had her clothes wrapped around her things when I came in and is crouched by the window.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"They're almost here." She responds, keeping her eyes to the glass.

Before I could ask who the family of cuttlefish suddenly show up and she creates a sphere with the water around them before pushing her hand through the glass, forcing it open just enough to pull them through before bending it back together. That has to be the wildest telekinetic thing I've seen her do so far.

We rush back into the main room as the others pile in, gathering by the wall furthest from the hatch as Y/N instructed. Not a Momet after everyone is huddled together the entrance hatch opens and two middle aged men walk inside with somewhat fearful and sorry looks on their faces. There's a long moment of silence, Y/N stand tall and strong before us.

"We are-

"I know who you are," She interrupts calmly," I'm more interested in where everyone's families are, and of course how safe it is back home."

"I take it you started listening to us before we landed." The slightly older man chuckled nervously.

"Indeed." She responded flatly.
