"Uncertainty"

*Solveig*

I feel a tight pain in my chest. Xav and Ian are watching the news while Cara shows some concern. She tries to look like there is nothing to worry, but I can't dismiss the fact that there is a tight pain in my chest.

"Sis, look!" Ian calls my attention. "Mom is there, she is fine, see?" He points at the TV.

I nod. Watching mom between other people over there makes me feel scared, but relieved that they are ok. "Is Carl at the Command Center?" Xav asks Cara.

"He is there with Agape and Gideon. They are restructuring the defenses," She answers.

"I am going to go there and keep an eye on things. I can't stay here doing nothing," Xav says and stands up, I look at him worriedly. He comes to me and kneels in front of me, taking my hands in his. "Everything is going to be ok Sol, no one tried to attack any of the races directly in their territory..."

I sigh. "Yet..."

Xav shakes his head. "You do know we have the largest surveillance system in the world, right?" He says with a grin, to what I nod.

"Of course," I say. 'Maybe dad forgot about that, can you check your gadgets and see if you can find out more?' I send to him in our private minds, Ian is listening as well.

'I will keep you updated on it, I promise,' He answers and heads out.

Cara looks at me and smiles. "You are so cute together, who would have thought that Xavier had a heart?" She chuckles and I can't help but to laugh at her comments. In truth, he is always very cold to people except mom and me.

My eyes lock on the TV again, as I keep my mind away from any other thoughts. I need to be fine, I can't be the source of worry to my parents or brothers all the time. If only I knew how to control whatever is that I do, I could learn to control it.

'But if you do that, then how are we going to beat you at anything?!' Ian's words unfocus me and I start to laugh.

'Stop spying on my thoughts!' I shoot back as Cara shakes her head smiling. She knows we communicate privately and doesn't worry about it. She is mom's best friend, and the best aunt I could ever ask for.

*Xavier*

I walk into the Command Center as Carl is there waiting for me, he knows I am focused on this idea of mine, and I want to research everything that is possible to find. Gideon is watching me intently.

"Agape, Gideon, Carl..." I greet them and they bow their heads to me. "I want to know if we can find something from our satellites on the area where they were attacked... is it possible?"

Carl is the first one to nod. "Actually... your father started to do the same research from his offices in the city," He says to me. Of course, why did I think he wouldn't know what to do? He is wiser than any of us... "But I think we might need to rely on more unconventional methods..."

I perk my brow and look at him. "What do you mean?"

Carl nods at Gideon who has been quiet all along. "He had an idea..."

"Please tell me what you were thinking uncle..." I ask as I reach Agape and kiss her cheek. I am not very fond of loving gestures, but she is one of the most important people in my life, being there for me and raising me like a warrior.

Gideon nods, a handshake between us before he speaks. "The attacks seem to be random, but there is a patron in them as well. I think... I think they are not humans... because we can't detect them before or after the events... you have high tech gadgets and yet still can't predict what is happening, nor see anything on the cams..."

I frown and ponder his words. He is right, his train of thoughts are completely logical. I have to dig into this possibility a bit more before I present this theory to dad. "Can you do some research into who might be having some issues with the Legacy Group formation? That should give us a list of possible people that could manipulate this..."

Gideon nods with a small smile. He is certainly happy I vouch for his idea. "Yes, I can do that for sure... I understand you want more info before taking this to your father..."

I nod. "You know me well uncle," I say as I take a seat in front of the cameras.

They might have seen the videos already, yet I want to watch them again to make sure we did not overlook anything. I want to make dad proud, and I want to make our people safe.

*Ian*

I just don't know what to do; I feel helpless and useless when I can't help in any situation. Of course, Xavier is already doing something, so what else can I do? I only have my sister to look after, and I think she is more powerful than either of us.

I am worried about mom and frustrated about the whole situation. Whoever decided to put a war against all the races is thinking of suicide. But who might be clever enough to pass unnoticed for this long?

When we were born, a change was already happening. Dad still tells us stories of when we were hiding from humans, and when Angels first came up. Both he and mom are heroes, and I feel I am a disappointment. Will I ever be good enough to be called their son?

*Meadow*

Caly looks at things in a different way; she has powers that none of us can begin to understand. She left everyone takes pictures and then began her own investigation. Her right hand Pronab is carefully watching outside of our circle, being cautious that none of us gets attacked while we investigate the scene.

Caleb is talking to the investigators for over an hour now, humans are just as frustrated as us. 'But I sense more than that...' I hear Caliope speak to me. 'They are scared... because we are supposed to be invincibles and now we are under attack... if we are in danger, they are afraid of their own safety and even survival... can you blame them?'

I sigh and shake my head. 'Caly, we need to get to the bottom of this... I hate the way we look so...' I am without words.

'Vulnerables...?' She finishes my thoughts and I nod.

Amrafel is in the center of the ruined site; I keep looking at him as he concentrates and extends his powers to investigate everything and everyone. As I watch him, I also fear for our future.

I feel Caleb wrap his arms around me, and that instantly calms me. "We are exhausting all our resources, we will find out what happened..."

"My worry is... why haven't we found him or her yet?" I say back.

"We will find out soon. Amra is focusing on following every trace of activities that could be suspicious," Caly joins us.

"That puts my mind at ease," Caleb says but I can feel him still tense.

"I am worried too, but for now, what I really want is to know we are safe. If that can be assured, then we will proceed to investigate everything. I want the humans to leave us alone so we can do our job better..." She whispers the last part only to our ears.

We nod and wait silently for Amra, who seems unaffected by anything happening to us, yet I know he is careful and observant of everything.

Caleb picks up his phone the second it rings. "Yes?"

On the other side, I hear Julius. "We have gone through every angle and every camera for the last month. We have nothing unusual. Those who were not supposed to be around the building were already investigated and came up clean."

I sigh hearing this, and Caleb squeezes me gently. "Thank you. If anything else comes up, keep me posted," Caleb finishes then looks at Caly. "Nothing. I am starting to believe this might not be human after all... they are clumsy, this is too perfect."

Caly nods and I nod too. My worst fears are coming close to happen; another great force attempting to destroy the peace we fought so hard to achieve. Whoever dares to attempt a mass scale attack on all races, has the courage and weapons to cause real harm, and we need to be prepared for everything.
