A/N: The photo on the top is a picture of Anakin and Skye, Storm's and Loki's twins. Now here's Chapter 3!

Not too long after I finished eating my SunFire Gumbo with noodles, Bunny informed me that Anakin and Skye were tucked in bed, waiting for me. Together Bunny and I walked into their spacious room, which they shared.

"Alright, who's ready for a lullaby?" I asked as I pulled up a chair, sitting beside them.

"Me!" Skye and Anakin exclaimed.

I chuckled. "All right."

With that I began to sing the lullaby that I sang to them every night. "Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand, and hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you, I will be here. Don't you cry. For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here, don't you cry. 'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart. From this day on. Now and forever more. You'll be in my heart. No matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart. Always..."

Anakin and Skye closed their eyes as my lullaby ended. I kissed their foreheads with a smile. "I'll always love you and be with you."

With that I turned off their lights before walking off with Bunny by my side. As we walked down the hallway, she spoke up. "Storm, you are a leader of the Echani Command, are you not?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes."

"You are a leader, Storm. You must show your people that you're willing to protect them." Bunny explained. "R3 told me how severe the disaster was, and it may have not affected those in this galaxy, but what if that Titan returned, and decided to do more damage to this galaxy."

"He can't, Bunny. He doesn't know where this galaxy is." I assured her.

The next morning, I sat on my bed, mediating. As I mediated, I heard Obi-Wan's voice. "Why do you remain here, Storm?"

I opened my eyes to see not just Obi-Wan sitting beside me, but Anakin as well. I hesitated. "...Obi-Wan, how can we fix something that huge? Thanos is powerful, he will kill us."

"Usually you're very confident, Storm." Anakin mentioned. "Many of our plans were risky, but you believed we could pull it off."

"You were also very reckless." Obi-Wan added with a teasing grin. "But Anakin's right, you're usually so confident, never thinking twice before going through with the plan. You underestimate yourself, Storm."

"They are right, Storm." Master Jinn's voice reached my ears. "You are more powerful than you imagine. You've always underestimated yourself, even when others see the potential you have."

That is true...had it not been for Master Jinn and Loki, then I would've have unleashed that wave of Force energy with icy blue flames, saving Jinx, Maya, and a couple others from those horrid hounds.

"And if I remember correctly all Jedi Initiatives took an oath before they were officially inducted into the Jedi Order." Obi-Wan reminded me.

Anakin snickered. "I wouldn't know as I skipped being an Initiate and went up to a padawan."

I let out a sigh as I recited the Jedi Oath for Anakin to hear:

"I promise to uphold the Jedi Code. I promise to respect all life and to help those weaker than myself, to use the Force only for good, never to draw my lightsaber in anger, only to defend those who cannot defend themselves, to find new ways to improve myself so that I may be an example to others, and to defend the Galactic Republic."
