I appeared a moment later with the young female in tow. She was still wrapped in the energy blanket, though her life signs were starting to grow stronger.
My daughters and the three of my old unit were staring at me. "Who is she?" Bell asked a moment later. "Is she alright?" She asked.
"She should be fine soon. I got there before their agent was able to infiltrate her mind," I told everyone there.
I noticed that Bethany's eyes were a little wide as she stared at me and the new arrival. "Is it always like this," she asked Bell a moment later.
"For right now, I am afraid that it might be. We are still trying to gather more people like us to help," Bell replied.
"You uh... say that all of us are like he is?" Bethany asked.
"No, at least not yet. Father has been at it for far longer than almost any of us," Bell said.
"Wait, wait, wait, he really is your father? Are all of your family endowed with these powers," Bethany asked.
"Well, since there are only the three of us, then that is a yes," Trina said.
"Only three, oh, I see, sorry I brought it up," Bethany said.
"It alright, we all came to terms with it years ago. Especially after the government took us away from the rest of the family. Somehow, we always knew who dad was, we were led to believe that we had to comply or they'd hurt him. Now?

I nodded as I looked at all there, "I have managed to free a hundred of the leaders and assistants from the Xetrons. That will surely help, though there are other dangers."
"So, father, who is our newest guest?" Bell asked.
"I felt her in an alley 'bout to be attacked by a gang. As her power is not controlled or guided, I stepped in. I am afraid that a good portion of the gang will be out of commission for a while. Somewhat difficult to terrorize with broken arms and legs," I told them.
"So, what's the plan? I know we have to gather others, that none of us can leave here, til..." Andy started,
"No, of the nine of us here, only four of us can leave safely. Well, ten now. I have Bell and Trina safe now. Bethany is also barely high enough. The brother and sister are close though they need a great deal of rest. They were drained severely. As I explained to you three, you are almost there," I explained to them.
"OK, so what's the new girl's name?" Bell asked.
I sheepishly shrugged as I looked at the unconscious female on the floor.
"You don't even know her name? Good god Dad!" Trina said.
"Well, let's be for real, she passed out. I wasn't about to probe her mind. We don't do that without permission or in an emergency situation," I said.
Both Trina and Bell smirked at ...
