Firis had always been so nice to her, so gentle. They had had good times together from what she remembered and maybe even more good times before Io lost her memories from the reprogramming. It wasn't right that they couldn't be together, even if it meant Callisto and Jace were allowed to reunite. Still she wore her best happy face, she should be glad here that they were going home now, that Callisto was free. She had every intention in her heart to see Firis again, no matter if everyone here hated her. Minnie told her about their past and Io wasn't sure what to make of it. Io was more than happy just being friends with the angel and it seemed Minnie felt the same way.
Io had no opinion on what they did with the body.
Agreeing to meet with Minnie again that night, the ship continued it's journey through the air. It wouldn't take long until Port Viridi Island's silhouette awaited them. Even if Io never saw it before she knew instinctively that that manmade island was home to her. Minnie spent the time telling Io about the Flock, about the kids there. They were society's rejects, broken children with no place to call home. "But mother took them in." For some reason the angel sounded bitter. What was so bad about taking children in and providing a home for them? "Isn't it good to give those kids a safe place?" Io asked, she did not understand. Why did Minnie look like she hated her mother? "Sure seems that way, doesn't it?" Minnie laughed like the tinkling of a wind chime but Yue did not know why.
The airship landed, they were here. The hatch opened, the Flock was waiting for them. "It's good to be back." Jarvis snickered. While he was just a really very intelligent system, he had a smarmy look on his face that made Io feel uncomfortable. "You sure like to cause trouble, Io." Jarvis told her with a shrug. "What big mess will we have to clean up next?" Io didn't know what to say. "Let's be friends." She offered weakly. "I don't know what a friend is." Jarvis taunted as he walked forward through the snow. "But you don't either, do you?"
"Make yourselves comfortable, guests." Lady Reiss said with her smile, following after Jarvis into the building. "I'll have you sent to Dr. Grover tomorrow once it's time. Please, rest well and safely." It was late, no doubt the rest of the children were asleep now. A strange boy with a bandage on his nose rushed at her. Io almost wanted to flip him over her shoulder in shock but then he wrapped his arms around her, snot on his nose from crying. "Welcome back, I missed you so much. I couldn't do anything to help you." No doubt this was Dane. "I'm sorry." Io confessed, not wanting to lie. "But I lost my memories, I don't think I know you anymore." The boy, probably known as Dane, shook his head as he sniffled. "That's okay! We have lots of time to make new memories, don't we?"
Once everyone else cleared out Minnie as Nyx took them to the spare rooms, since she knew the place. "You two can have this room." She gestured to Jace and Callisto. It was time for their private talk, wasn't it? Once they entered the angel unit closed the door, making sure only the intended four were present. "I can't go against mother because she's my registered owner." Minnie said, a grave look on her face. "But my mother needs to be stopped. Please, we can't let her fulfill her evil." There was a fire in Minnie's eyes, making her white hair almost glow. "Once you three have recovered and are ready... please." But Lady Reiss seemed to nice, she even came here to rescue them, didn't she? "Are you sure she's evil?" How could such a nice lady be evil?"
Minnie grimaced as if thinking about it hurt her. "Night after tomorrow." The angel unit said with quiet determination. "I can show you proof." Io looked at Callisto, deciding to defer to her judgment.
