"How did I get here?" Sharon asks standing up.
"You walked here, as a giant, the biggest you have ever been." Rex says worried.
"I can't accidentally sleep walk. I'll go to Leviathan and talk to Helia. What's going on with the infected?" Susan asks, he had a nightmare about it.
"I really don't know. With portal Nanites no one is worried about them. We check the Comms daily and no one reports a problem. Winter is now over and Colin is keeping his promise to move the new people to the far land way North. He's still debating when and how but he did make an announcement." Rex says.
"How's Wish?" Sharon asks.
"Safe. We have a problem. The Infected are no longer affected by the mist purifiers." Rex walks around the park to distract Sharon.
"I wish he would just move here once and for all. He's with Rue again. They're all not safe, bring them home." Sharon passes out.
Rex portals him to the hospital and a nano capsule puts him to sleep. He calls Lily first.
~~~
Troy runs into the hospital and looks at Sharon sleeping in a capsule, "What happened?"
"He was sleep walking, started talking about the Infected. Wish not being safe and collapsing." Rex says.
"Black mist is thicker than it has been in years, water breathers are not happy about that." June says as he enters.
Lily arrives last and Rex glares at her.
"Why are you just arriving now? I literally called you first." Rex says annoyed.
Lycan walks past Lily and turns around, "Sorry, I didn't see you there, did I bump into you?"
"No, sorry Rex, what's the situation?" Lily asks.
"Don't worry about it. Mira arrived first and handled it. He'll be fine, but as long as Wish is out there he's going to keep sleep walking. We need to protect him or Sharon will do it alone. Best way is for us to move to the farm lands, start farming and cultivating the soil, it will keep the country afloat. Toya went to tell everyone via Comms. The twins have already portaled half the people Far North to their homes working with Luna and some women who offered to help. We need the animals from Kyle. Missy's dog too." Rex says.
Lily gulps feeling really bad she chose a self care day. She sees a vision of her number no longer on anyone's speed dial, "I'm really sorry."
"We're lucky Mira ran here like a crazy person. I didn't know how to operate this machine. We should give Troy some space." Rex leaves and Lily turns around looking at his shirt.
"Dude, that's so cool." Aira says coming down from up stairs, "All the capsules have been set to Auto life support if a doctor is not in there."
Sarah's phone rings in Rex's pocket. Aira answers.
"We've got everyone here can you get my dad." Luna says hanging up, the work load looks like a lot.
"Is it just me, or do I see invaders?" Jet asks.
"Just portal them out." Luna says walking into a house helping an old woman with children. She calls home, "We have an elderly with 3 children. Bennett."
"I'll come get them set them aside." Kevin says.
"Bennett you and the children move aside. You'll be taken to a home for the elderly and someone will adopt the children." Luna says.
"Adopt the children? I thought I saw a familiar figure." An invader says looking at Luna up and down, "You guys are still connected, thought the Infected would separate you all."
Luna looks at him, "I'm sorry were you frozen in ice and melted when we met you? At you're age I would assume you know what life is like around here. What are you talking about?" Luna looks at him confused and than laughs, "Oh, you're making a joke, that was not really funny."
The man clears his throat, "I should ..."
Jet portals him away too, "3 more, we'll get them when my dad arrives. Hey Bennet, you look well." He brushes her short hair.
"Thank you. Your winter products helped my health so much. Look at the children. So healthy." The old woman says sitting down. She's lost a lot of weight.
Luna sets up the house and moves on to the next, "Dammit. I miss Split. This is so hard without him!"
Split walks in, "If you put it like that." The clone helps clean up the house while Luna concentrates on filling the cabinets. The water and more.
She locks the emergency bunker so in an actual emergency it's turned into a bunker, not a spare room or something else.
Toya arrives with Wish and the group.
Scorpio helps Luna wish for things, "There's a reason why my family guarded yours."
Luna smiles, "But they weren't taken to the sky castle."
"Must be a descendant of some illegitimate child. Lucky for them." Scorpio says.
"You handle the next house, it's a waste of time to work on the same house." Luna says.
"You're needed next door. Thanks for the hand Scorpio." Toya says leaving. He was here to tell him the exact same thing. He's more annoyed by his flirting with Luna too.
Kevin arrives portaling the invaders out of the place. He takes the old woman and the children back home.
Bennet looks at the massive hotel and walks inside joining the other elderly with Sarah's grand mother ready to go jog around the park.
Kevin introduces Bennett.
"We'll take care of her, we won't just sit around like the infected are waiting out here. Come join us." Mira's grand mother says.
"Take it easy." Kevin says walking the children to Lily, "Where do I put them?"
"Put them with Luna. The old woman would not approve of adoption. She'll want to see them often."
"I thought Luna was going to stay at the farm lands?" Lily asks.
"No, Mira's group is going and Rex's group." Lily says changing her plans.
Kevin nods taking the 3 girls to the house. He finds Tina, Aya, and Kazumi cleaning the house, this week it's their turn to clean. There's a list on the board.
"Kate!" Kevin calls any of the girls not busy.
Kate runs down the stairs, "Yes sir."
"You girls will have 3 new members. Can you set up for them."
"Of course. Come up stairs girls." Kate waits for them to come up and puts them in the same room setting it up with nice flowers on the wall.
She calls them to her room and they join her arts and craft designing wall decorations. She patiently teaches the kids how to colour inside the lines.
"Trace like this first, then colour inside." She says.
The girls keep trying having fun.
Beauty is painting outside next to Sarah's covered canvas. She adds more colours mixing things to see what colours she will get.
Cheshire enters finding Beauty in a mask and gloves making colours out of flowers. He sits beside her pecking her forehead helping grind the flowers.
When it's ground perfectly Beauty adds oil and mixes it leaving it outside.
"I'll continue tomorrow, mind waiting for me to get ready?"
"Yeah, cover that up." Cheshire says.
She covers her canvas and goes inside bathing and changing into something warm.
She goes out with Cheshire excited.

Luna smiles when she's finally done, "We should get back. Hey Aira, I didn't see you today."
"I have been in the hospital. I thought you were staying." Aira says.
"No, it's Mira's group. Are you staying"
"Yes, I wish your group was staying. Come visit okay?"
Luna nods, "I will. See you twins. I'll miss you." She hugs the twins and her dad before leaving.
She arrives at home and meets the new members.
"Oohhh, that's nice. Sarah, Xaaria, and Una are coming back a little late. They're not yet done." Luna says sitting down.
"Cheshire came to get Beauty. They'll be back tomorrow. She's going to visit her family." Beauty says.
"Where is Angela?" Luna asks.
Angela walks out of her room, "Here, just been resting all day. Kyle doesn't want me visiting home anymore. I am bored."
"How's the baby doing?" Luna asks rubbing the bump.
"Excitedly swirling around in there. Bella is in hiding, does Kai always do that?" Angela asks.
"Yup, with Akali no one saw her until she gave birth. He's very over protective." Luna says sitting down falling asleep.
When Sarah arrives from the farm lands she passes food around since it's her groups turn to cook today.
Luna enjoys the meal, "Ohh, this is really good. Please teach me how to cook this. Wow."
Sarah laughs, "Gail made that. We should ask her. She went to the farm lands so Thomas can plant his new seeds."
"Ohh, I'm confident if Thomas is in the farm. I was worried there would be no adult supervision." Luna says.
The other girls eat after a long day of cleaning the house. Tomorrow they have a day off. Luna's group is cooking and Sarah's group is cleaning next week.
"The Willow family is inviting everyone to a baby shower. They finally have their own baby." Aya says.
"That's annoying. What if they don't want the adopted children anymore? It happened before in our camp." Kate says.
"Oh yeah, I heard about that. Royal moved the family to a friend's camp instead. He was so angry about it. They were just using the kids to fill a gap." Xaaria says.
Luna nods, "That's good. They don't deserve the damn kids. Bet they regret it now. Look at where the kids they didn't want are." She pours seconds for herself and Winter shyly pushes her empty plate forward.
The girls laugh giving her more food.
"They actually we're adopted by Royal himself. 3 sisters. You should see how beautiful they are. He really is a great dad." Aya says.
"That's sweet. We should go ruin Beauty's date and I meet them." Luna says.
The girls laugh
"Yeah I think I would like to see what's going on there. Angela I'm sure you'd like to get some air instead of staying cooped up in your house." Una says.
"Yes. I have a bag to pack." She says leaving.
Luna tucks the new kids in after a bath and a gummy.
