Thana made her way up to the computer room, once again it was her place. Tech nerd. She didn't mind too much but she had some private digging to do. She knew Shikon would want answers. Answers she was going to give him.

Thana went to her cupboard, in her room nearby and pulled out a shoe box. Before going back to the computer room and waiting. No doubt Shikon would be there shortly. Thana kept flicking over the computer screens, looking at some files that were of little importance really but good to keep track of.

Shikon yawned as he walked. He thought to himself as he traversed the mansion. Lakai was still angry at him, not that he blamed her. He was still confused as to what Magneto's whole angle on being here was, and to top it all off he was tired from constantly looking for any sign that the M.R.D. was vulnerable. Shikon eventually made his way to the computer room and leaned on the door frame.

He yawned loudly and spoke "So you finally decided to come back huh? Guess home really is where the heart is."

Thana looked up as she heard Shikon, " Yeah I guess so." She answered, waiting for him to come in before pressing a button and shutting the doors . No one could hear them. " Well you wanted answers. Two choices, still want answers and take a car ride with me or not want answers. Either way your not going to like it." She admitted honestly. Handing over the file she had, it was all but the title blacked out. Not her doing . It was also empty, the actual blacked out file was in her car. " That was the released file on me. Nothing. Are you sure you want answers Shikon? " Thana asked, picking up her jacket. Then opened the door to the room, " Choose quickly because I'm only going to show you once ."

Shikon shrugged and allowed her to lead him to where ever it was she was going. "My curiosity for knowledge is great. I'd really enjoy the answers right about now, and I think I've truly waited long enough." He voice got a steel edge to it. He was happy she was offering answers, but he felt she might just close up again so he wasn't holding his breath.

Thana nodded and picked up her jacket and walked to her car with Shikon, and opened it. "Get in." Thana said, "I'm serious get in," When he did Thana started driving. Speeding off out of the Brotherhood mansion grounds and to the city, while driving she reached into her glovebox and pulled a file out and handed it to him. Lots of things were blocked out, but some lines were visible. Buildings, places. That type of thing. She remained quiet though, waiting for Shikon to speak as she drove, speeding through the city.

Shikon calmly read through the files as the car sped towards the city. There were too many things blacked out to make coherent sense of all the words. He finished with the last of the file, and looked at Thana. "Okay so you gave me a file that's been blacked out? What does that mean?"

DLThana kept speeding through the city until she came to an abandoned burnt army base looking thing. Then stated ahead before looking at Shikon. " You want answers you will find them here ." She said and got out of the car, and walked over the trampled gates to around the middle of the camp, cleared away some branches from the surface of a semi ruined doorway before walking in. " Welcome to my home." Thana said darkly, and everywhere you looked were corridors, torture chamber style rooms and in thee middle of it all was a cell, with an electric force field, amazingly still in perfect condition. It was all white with a single bed , a cracked tablet and was clearly a prison room of a girls, and had been at some time . As well as computers , a loony patient style examination table, and broken glass. Thana switched a light switch and a board became visible , with photos of a person and notes on all different types of experiments and tortures. 

" Computer access file Project Red." Thana voiced, and a cracked but working screen showed her real file, images horrific , and more writings. She walked over to a desk, blood splattered , and picked up a file. Her real file and handed it to Shikon. " Find your answers. I'll be at the surface ." Thana instructed and walked out. Leaving Shikon , walking past the torture chambers she had lived and went back to her car. And leaned against the bonnet, waiting.

Shikon took his time looking around the abandoned building. It made him angry, angry enough that he was sick to his stomach. He knew how those bastards at the M.R.D. went. He understood the pain they would cause to people for their own enjoyment. He knew how much they hated his kind. When Shikon had finally had enough, and was on the point of raging and burning the whole place to the ground he went back to the surface.

He found Thana at the car. He was pissed and he didn't try to hide it. He went and leaned against the car. "What was the point of showing me that? I know what those fucks are like. I know how fucking mental they are. All this has done is made me angry and disgusted. They'll pay for all this. For doing this to anyone. I'm sorry you ever went through anything like this." Shikon shook his head, grinding his teeth. "We aren't animals. We're people too dammit." he mumbled under his breath.

Thana looked at Shikon and got in the car with him. "You wanted to know answers about me, this is where I grew up. That girl was me." Thana told him, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. " That is why I am the why I am...All my life I was told to hate my kind. Trained to kill without emotions. I had no one, no one at all. What they did....they broke me." Thana said quietly, "They trained me to hate myself. That's not something you can remove Shikon."

Thana bit her lip and looked down, "Your the first person to be my friend, the first person to give me a home." She told him, and began driving away back to the mansion.

Shikon looked up at the sky as they drove. After Thana finished speaking the silence droned on. Shikon sat there staring into the sky. And after a few more minutes he spoke. "I can't say I know what it's like, but what I can tell you is that I've seen the M.R.D. kill people. People I loved. They take everything from people. That pain I do understand. You have a home with all of us Thana. You don't have to hate yourself anymore, and you don't have to kill. The pain you felt, I'm sorry about. They took your childhood from you and that I can't accept. They won't get away with it. One day we'll teach them to fear us. If they want to treat us like animals then we'll show them animals. Nothing they could do could ever take us down. We've got the X gene as I've heard it told, and honestly that just makes the M.R.D. afraid of us, and jealous that we have something that makes us better than them. So as far as I'm concerned Thana, your past is just that. The past." He looked at Thana seriously and spoke "Don't let the past control you Thana, learn from it and move on. We're your family now, and we all care about you. Even Lakai to some degree."

Thana stopped the car as shikon spoke and listened to him. She didn't speak but looked down and nodded, her voice caught in her throat . She just smiled sadly and turned the ignition back on and drove back to the Brotherhood. She felt grateful Shikon was her friend, and finally managed to conceal her emotions again, as they drove up to the grounds . 


" T-thank you Shikon." Thana said, and pulled her car up into the garage . Luckily she still hadn't seen the Magneto man, so her only loyalty was Shikon. " Well... Now that's sorted ... I guess I go back go being the tech nerd?" She said, attempting a smile.

Shikon smiled. "Anytime Thana. I'm here to help. It's what a leader does. I care for you as I do my own flesh and blood." He sat in the car a bit longer and hoped over the side of the car and sighed. "If that's what you want to do, then you do that. It's nice having someone around who knows more about this stuff than I do." He laughed really loudly.
