Harper groaned as she sat up, laying next to Bailey and Mal. It had been a long night and the kids spent it in their hide out. When I say hideout, it wasn't just a basement of an abandoned building or something. This place was hidden. There was an abandoned building that was perfectly in tact... but was haunted. The fire escape was folded up and would release if you were able to hit the sign. This whole thing was hidden in an alley, in a black market, in 'Cavre De Nomar Esquibik'. Which in English translated to 'Corner of No Mans Escape.' The kids were safe here. From inside the building they went down a slide hidden in a dresser, or a staircase under the fake bed, and down into a mattress pit, or to a steel door if you went by the stairs. Under here, any airstrikes hit above them would make no damage.

The hideout used to be a villain lair, but was abandoned in 'Gente Alfredno Rado' which everyone called 'Giant Alfred Raid'. The kids then split it into sections, four areas were equally split for Smitty, KC, Harper, and Malania, a large common area for everyone to lounge in, and a separate area with beds for the older kids. There was a hidden room Mal and Harper called the 'Honey Moon Suite' after taunting Quinn and Sawyer after their wedding to stay in that room because of some airstrikes that ruined their plans.

Harper got up and went to the small kitchenette, and started to pour herself a bowl of cereal. Milk first, then the cereal. Mal crept up on Harpers side, and leaned her head gently against Harpers shoulder.
"Want some milk?" Harper asked, pouring some in a glass. Mal nodded and took the glass from Harper, sitting down on the couch. Mal snuggles up as scheduled her milk as they quietly watched a report on the recent airstrikes. Mal whimpered when images of destroyed buildings, some being Mals favorite places to go, were in total ruins. Mal dug her head into Harpers arm, and silently cried as she waited for the list of deaths.

"Mal..? It's okay.your dads not on the list." Harper whispered. Mal sighed as she looked back up, and changed the channel. They had 4 channels.  The kids couldn't pay for cable. Technically... they weren't even allowed in their hideout at all. But... They were "villains". Harper smiled as she brushed Mals hair behind her ear, which reminded her so much of Chapa.
"Why do they have to fight all the time Harps? We didn't do anything wrong. They take it out on us but we just got stuck in the middle." Mal cried. Harper smiled and wiped Mals tears as she locked her eyes with Malanias. Malania had bright green eyes, that stood out against her blue hair.

"I'm gonna take you to Swellview, Malsie. They have leaves on their trees that are as green as your little eyes. They have fresh fruits that don't cost a fortune, and they have Nacho Ball."  Harper reminded.
"What's Nacho Ball?" Malania asked, eyes full of wonder.
"It's like taking a platter of nachos, and smashing them into a ball." Harper remembered. Mal squealed as she tightly hugged Harper.
"Swellview sounds so safe. D-Do they have airstrikes...?" Mal asked, after hearing a crash, and an airstrike alert come up on the tv.
"Nope. We have fireworks. But no airstrikes. Swellview is much safer. They don't have grandadocunas (Street Grenades), Polocatros (Villain Police), or Sectonadras (Street wars)." Harper whispered. Mal smiled and cuddles into Harper.

"I wanna go to Swellview..." Mal whispered. Harper always though of herself as Mals mom. She was a few months older anyways. Harper smiled and hugged Mal as tight as she could. Hayden tugged at Harpers sock, demanding to be picked up and treated the exact same.
"What's up bubba? Do you want huggies to?" Harper asked, picking up Hayden into her lap.
"Ove me!" Hayden ordered, putting her head against Harpers chest.
"Okay baby girl. Let's get your bottle warmed up." Harper laughed as she cuddled Hayden as she walked over to the counter.
"I think I can fix the space time continuum. I just need one thing..." Mal said, walking over to her science table.
"What is it?" Harper asked, setting Hayden in her high chair.
"Bongara..." Mal whispered. Harper shook her head walking over to the microwave.
"No dene. I'm not getting you that." Harper whispered. Mal rolled her eyes as she pulled out a map.
"If you go to One Eye Joes," Mal started but her map was set in fire from a stray electric spark.
"Bongara! You want me, to get Bongara?! Do you know how hard it is to get even near Bongara?!" Harper freaked.

—————————

And now here was Harper, getting Bongara. What is Bongara? Bongara was a power gem, that was in a museum that was rumored to be able to power over a million homes at once, with everything and the kitchen sink running at once. Harper grabbed the small gem and teleported back to the hideout.
"Okay... place the Bongara right there... flip that switch and-" Mal mumbled before the portal opened up. Harper smiled and hugged Mal, brushing away a stray tear on the girls face.
"I promise you. The minute I get home, I'm gonna bring you to Swellview." Harper whispered. Mal nodded and switched the lever.

Harper shot up in her bed. Her real bed in her real bedroom. Harper looked next to her and found her baby koala snuggles into her side.
"Chapa? Is that you love?" Harper asked, shaking the arm.
"Mmm... what's wrong Harp? I'm tired. It's 3 am." Chapa moaned as she sat up rubbing her eyes.
"Mal... I need to go bring her. I'll be back in two seconds." Harper remembered and teleported out.
"She woke me up to tell me that?!  I think I need to run girl code number five by her again." Chapa mumbled before falling asleep.
