Kyle stands in front of everyone now that he feels better, he feels lighter on his feet, is breathing alot easier, and the chest pains he didn't want to tell everyone about are gone.
"As you all know. We have a new home. Bigger, better, and stronger. Everyone is eager to go but I have decided that I will not take everyone there in one go. There are some of you I'm not sure I can trust yet and a bigger house doesn't make the usual misbehaviours change. I've decided that only Children and guards will go there today, I will take people there as time goes on and I see through actions you will not be a nuisance. Dismissed."
Everyone in the crowd starts talking between themselves some upset and others okay with it.
~~~
"Seriously? All the excitement to find out we're not going anywhere?"
"Clearly You're one of the troublemakers he's talking about. Let the man put his own peace first. If you couldn't behave in a small cage, you'll go wild with a big one."
"True. Why are you mad? Do you have anything to run from?"
"Shut up I just wanted to go today."
"We'll, you're not going anywhere so keep your mouth shut. You don't know how he's deciding who he picks to go."
"Yeah, take a page out of Angela's book. She's been quite all day today. Ignored everyone that spoke to her. She's going through an episode from her power nearly killing her."
"At least she's nicer when she shuts up."
~~~
Mira smiles happy Kyle read her note in exact detail. She passes on a note with a schedule, "Follow it to the latter and move these people on the exact dates. Don't mess up even a single thing, or all hell will break loose."
Kyle nods and travels with all the children and guard. Leaving his second in command in charge of everyone.
"What can you tell me about women with powers in the camp. What is the most powerful one?" Kyle asks Mira before they go back to Murasaki. He's thinking about what Thomas says, he doesn't see himself just falling in love out of the blue, but he can choose a female with a powerful ability once and for all and they'll work on the relationship moving forward.
"Angela for sure. She can make clones that can use the wish power, my power, open portals virtually whatever she can think off." Mira answers.
Kyle nods, "Thank you. Have fun when you get home."
"We will. Bye."
The teens go home, hear about the big plan, but they are not included in it's execution it's best they go back to Kyle and help around.
Thomas builds machine after machine refusing to get some rest.
Lucky for him Lily will turn on the diffusers in the house and they will knock out his fatigued mind and body within seconds. When he wakes up he insists on eating first and straight to work.
She has been automatically writing for the past 3 days and it looks like she went a little overboard herself.
"Thomas, these are the schematics. I haven't been able to draw anything else after that vehicle." Lily passes on the papers.
Thomas smiles and jumps to make a different machine, "Whenever you're ready I will be ready."
Lily nods, "We'll wait 40 days, the Infected are moving from this area soon, they can't find any source of water. The ones in red would have also left, a group will be coming here and they will be great editions to the family."
Lily notices Thomas is not even looking at her. She walks away and decides to relax for the 40 days and encourages everyone else to do the same.
"What about Avalon?" Aira asks remembering the mission to go rescue him.
Lily smiles, "He'll find his way to us. Don't worry about that. Go back and help Kyle. The training is starting to show." She says.
Jet opens a portal to the new and Improved camp, "We've been exiled from our home land." He dramatically says.
Kyle smiles, "Angela is helping out with the children. The mothers usually have their hands full. You guys are probably more needed at the old camp." He says.
The teens go to the old camp and things are awfully quiet.
"Are you guys here to move people?" Emily asks.
"Nope, You guys have a portal user. Kyle knows when to move who. We are staying here for the next 40 days." Toya says.
~~~
Kyle sits down with Angela at his new house. The mall is for supplies only. His house is the largest and only one near the mall. Everyone else stays a distance away from the town with rubble the rest of the way.
Angela sits down quietly watching Kyle set up security.
When Kyle is done he sits across from Angela and looks her in the eyes giving her his serious look, "I want you to live with me, as my wife."
The unromantic Kyle does what he does best, lay out his intentions on the table and wait to get a response.
Angela who has had a crush on the man from the day they met bites her lip and nods, "I'd love too."
"Angela you must be aware that this means you will be working a very heavy and difficult job around the camp. It also means you must bare children. I will be frank with you, if you cannot bare children our arrangement is over." Kyle sits back very serious.
"Of course. That I am very sure I can do. My body is healthy." Angela says.
"Alright, I would like you to spend time with the Murasaki camp group and learn from them how to run a camp. I'll be coming to see them in 12 days, Angela I prefer a woman who can keep my affairs in order, tell anyone even a peep about this and we're done."
Angela nods fully prepared.
"Get some rest tonight. You can go tomorrow morning." Kyle says leaning in, he's not sure when babies should be involved, but as soon as possible is on his mind, "Give me your hand." He holds out his hand waiting for hers.
Angela takes his hand following him to her new bedroom.
"There's a room directly facing the bed, that's where the baby will sleep." Kyle says kissing her neck.
Angela nervously takes a deep breath.
Kyle stops and looks at her, "Am I making you nervous? If I haven't made it obvious I have every intention of having sex with you right now."
Angela chuckles out of nervousness, "I'm not uncomfortable, just never done that before. I am nervous."
"Oh, it's just that. Just trust me. I'll handle the rest."
~~~
Luna wakes up and finds Angela having tea with Mira. She takes a bath and joins them making oats for breakfast.
People wake up to being served early in the morning.
"I wanted to know about when you guys ran the camp. What changed in your daily routine?" Angela asks.
"The time we woke up. The amount of help we could ask for, when people are leaning on you, they don't like it when you lean on them. Had to draw boundaries, no more hanging out with no one part of the leadership circle because they ask for too many favours. People don't like you for some reason, some think you don't deserve it. Hangout with the kids more because they like you better. Don't consult anyone for decision, unless it's someone like Kyle in your case, but minor things like food and snacks it's all you, if you have to put what's on the table you decide what goes into people's stomach. Make sure everyone is clean, basically everyone becomes your child even if you're younger than them, sometimes you need to discipline them whether they like it or not." Mira answers with her eyes glowing.
Luna yawns, "What changed for me was my self care routine. I overworked my power on a daily basis and I still had to wake up the earliest despite sleeping last, so I started taking healing gummies before bed. When I wake up early as I take a bath they raised my energy levels. I also take naps during the day those are very important. If no one needs me I sneak away and nap. So basically I sleep twice a day to have energy. I would ask for help when I needed it, if someone is willing to help I would ask, but people are wishy-washy it's yes I want to help today than tomorrow it's no, so don't rely on someone just because today they are willing to help. When they think you need them they become entitled and want compensation for their helping. Everything changes, if you cannot accept that, you're in trouble."
"How do you pick friends?" Angela asks.
"Mira's power. Just use a clone for that. You avoid so much drama." Dodge answers the question.
"How do I deal with people I don't like?" Angela asks remembering how she was not given toiletries with healing essence.
"Depends, why don't you like them? If you start taking your frustrations out on people you're wrong, but if you think of them as your kids, there's no such thing as liking this child and disliking your other child, you have obedient kids and you have disobedient kids, nothing in between. What the obedient children get the disobedient children don't get, why should you both get snacks? Snacks are not a necessity, I won't deprive you of your necessity's but I won't give you treats like I do the others, but I like to not make it obvious, it hurts more when they continue misbehaving and find out later that all along they were only hurting themselves not me." Luna responds.
From there Angela watches how they take care of the elderly and how many people come to help.
For food they sort women out in groups for cooking but she realises it's only for them to help on days the teens are too tired or too busy they are not depending on them to do their jobs at all.
It keeps the women on their toes and ever ready, but that's only because they respect the teens, if it was her they would not lift a finger.
For bath time there's security Installed to keep people out, but when people live in their houses that won't be an issue.
"How do you make sure they clean up after themselves?" Angela asks.
"Same thing I told you before. Do something sneaky and have them realise that all along they played themselves. For one thing we expect people to clean their places once a week, if during the week you cleaned your room we can tell from the smell, we'll know because you stand watch so no one enters while you mist purify the house, and supplies run out fast. If people cleaned their room during the week, we give them either food treats, or extra supplies or something that we know everyone really wants, than the unclean will hear what others got, sometimes it's obvious that only the ones who cleaned their space got treats. Be consistent with your rewards or the plan falls apart." Luna says.
"Or, we go tattle tell, if they spend 2 weeks without cleaning their space. They may disrespect us, but they don't do that with the adults, run and tell Kyle that the first week they didn't clean. The second week you asked them to do it weekly the third week they still haven't done it. Kyle is a clean guy, he will eat them like lunch for the mess." Dodge responds.
In the evening they focus on the children and elderly only compared to the other times of the day. Once they have taken care of the children and elderly they are done for the day.
Than they eat and immediately go to bed.

After 12 days Kyle arrives and calls the people going to the new camp to his office.
A portal is opened and they leave immediately.
Kyle shows them their houses, "I want this place cleaned thoroughly weekly. Keep the noise down because the newborns just recently adapted to the new environment it would be really annoying if they went back to crying day and night again."
"Yes Kyle." A woman says and walks into her house.
She opens the cabinets and they are stocked with food.
She has 2 rooms front opposite her big one. She smiles when her son's look at their new real beds happy, "You heard what Kyle said, no noise. Play quietly I'll get started on dinner."
~~~
Back at the old camp everyone gets worried when the group that was called doesn't return.
"They went to the new camp." Benjamin reports after receiving a call from Kyle, "He just called to confirm they are settled in."
"What? That's awesome. How did he know what those guys were up to? They've been working the hardest these past days."
"Sonya really needed this for her two boys. Good for her."
"Why does it look like only the vaccinated are gone? Accept Angela, but you know it's Angela, I wouldn't want her there too."
Angela who heard that takes a deep breath and portals to her room at the new Moon Camp.
"How was your week?" Kyle asks.
"A bit difficult. I've been conditioning my body to get used to using my power, getting enough yet little sleep and just tune out the violent comments." She responds taking a deep breath to not look so weak in front of Kyle.
_Idiot! Who's shoulder do you expect to cry on? Tell him what happened._ Angela's reflection with a crown says.
She turns around and cries telling Kyle what happened, "I feel like such a bad person. I'm trying to make up for what I did, I really am, but I can't get it right. They will never forgive me."
"I had no idea that's how they have been towards you. I promise you there are people who will stay at that camp, they are on that list, I will not allow the mother of my children to be around such horrible people. If they don't like the mother they won't like her children. No child of mine will be surrounded by such people. I'm sorry I didn't notice, I'll do better to pay attention to you." Kyle comforts her to sleep.
The next morning Kyle wakes up and the bathroom smells like she already took a bath.
He finds a hot bath waiting for him. Since he's already naked he enters and enjoys the bath. There's a small jar with 3 gummies next to the mirror. He smirks to himself biting his bottom lip as he sinks into the water.
