Five years later...
"Clover!" Adam screamed as he frantically scurried through the halls looking for his daughter. one moment she was with him during his meeting, and the next she disappeared.
"Clover, where are you!" still no sign of her. Still roaming in the hall, Adam came to spot Agatha going the other direction and quickly made it to her. "Have you seen Clover?" he sounded rather panicked and for a moment Agatha thought and smiled.
"Have you looked at the garden, you know how she just adores plants" and with that, Adam made a beeline for the gardens. he searched for a moment before spotting the strawberry blonde ponytail behind a bush.
Adam was about to get Clover's attention but caught himself at what he witnessed. There, sitting on the soft grass was Clover but she was doing something nobody thought she would do ever in her life, she was talking. Clover was classified mute because she never ushered a word, and for a five-year-old, that was rather late for speech development.
But there she was, talking to a flower, whispering to it as it understood her. The sight brought tears in Adam's eyes, his baby girl was talking, and it didn't matter if she was talking to a plant, she was talking. Then the most unusual thing happened, she closed her eyes and the tiny plant immediately started growing and changing. Adam watched as the plant turned into a rose bush with multiple roses blooming from the branches, a truly beautiful sight.
Clover plucked a rose and brought it to her nose. she smiled as she took in the fragrance of the flower. She knew her dad was watching, so she turned and beamed like the angel she was. Clover wanted to take a flower for her dad as well, but as she tried to pluck another one, she pricked herself on one of the thorns, and blood was dripping from the cut onto the grass.
Adam immediately went to comfort his daughter who had just gotten hurt, but before he had time to get to her, huge thorny vines shot from the ground towards him. He successfully dodged the first set but got scrapped as the other set barely missed his head. Grabbing his now panicked daughter, Adam made a run for the exit of the garden.
The vines didn't stop sprouting from the ground like they were alive and on a mission. the guards on patrol nearby hurried to their boss who now had a scrapped and bloody forehead.
"What happened, sir?" one of them said as they meet. Adam couldn't understand what had happened and wasn't about to say anything that would alarm anyone.
"magic overflow" and with that, he headed inside the med-bay with his shacking daughter in his arms. "Don't worry munchkin, daddy's here, everything's fine" He immediately went to Agatha who had a panicked look on her face. Adam explained everything that happened earlier and made her swear to secrecy until he figured out what was going on with his daughter. Later that night, Clover was fast asleep next to Adam in his room, she came to sleep next to him when she had nightmares or couldn't sleep, but Adam couldn't sleep as the memories of earlier bring a lot of things into question, like the true origins of Clover and her biological parents.
