" I'll be turning seventeen in a few days Colonel it's nice to finally meet you." Speaking respectfully like Lee and Marcos had her practice as she slipped her much smaller hand in his hand.

"What's the purpose of having her around?" He studies her face as he trying to figure out her familiar features. "She was part of the breeding program remember Jake Sully and Daya Cruz daughter?" Lee briefly reminding him of the program.

Quaritch looked at her with hard expression making her look behind to Lee who was already reaching for her as she was glaring at the Na'vi man. "Sir she was raised by me and my girlfriend." Cyrus steps forward taking the attention off of the girl who gets moved behind the doctor.

"Is that so huh? So you're her daddy then?" Cyrus nods studying his daughter who wasn't a little girl but a beautiful woman now

"Is that so huh? So you're her daddy then?" Cyrus nods studying his daughter who wasn't a little girl but a beautiful woman now. Watching how she clung to the older woman noting how close they were as she tucked into the woman's side.

Marcos comes in telling them that Catleya needed go pack her things as they were going to be leaving the ship soon. Catleya looks back to Cyrus as Marcos pull her out of the room.

"Colonel the girl is your care once we are landed you're expected to watch over her aswell care for her. Oh before I forget she does have a bit of mouth on her." Lee tries to hold in a laugh seeing the Colonel rolling his eyes.

"Now everyone please get ready we all are need to be prepared to landed soon if you excuse me I'm needed elsewhere." Lee quickly leaves rushing to Catleya room.

"Colonel what is she talking about breeding program?" Lyle ask making everyone turned their attention wanting to know as well. Colonel explains everything about the RDA wanted to experiment on humans born on pandora seeing if their bodies would be different.

"Sanna I don't have to worry about you stepping out of line do I? I understand you've played daddy for her." Colonel looks at the man who wasn't effected by tone in his voice or sarcastic comment.

"I'm just here for my daughter you ain't got to worry about me. And I am her dad I raised and cared like my own." Cyrus answered walking away to get ready like everyone else. Everyone watched in shocked but quickly got to work when the Colonel looked around the room. Cyrus quietly looked at the photo of him and his girls holding the tears back as the lumped formed in his throat. Tucking it into his pocket of her jeans.

Back in Catleya's room she throwing things into bags while Marcos tries to calm her. Lee took everything out the bag and putting it back in neatly.

"Did you see how they all looked at me when they heard his name like I was the freak and bad guy

Looking into the mirror slowly breathing in and out. She didn't want leave the ship or Marcos and Lee feeling like everything was being ripped away from her again. "It's not fair I didn't ask to be born or who my parents are." She yelled out in frustration and hurt.

Marcos knocks softly putting his ear on the door. "Leya please come out I understand you're scared and unsure of everything but we been preparing for this for years and you won't be alone we'll still get to see each other." Looking towards Lee who just shakes her head knowing he wasn't helping at all.

Pushing himself away from the door as he didn't get a response and went to finish packing the bags. Catleya just laid on the cold floor feeling relaxed at the temperature.

"Honey it's okay to be scared because I know you can beat this small bump in the road

"Honey it's okay to be scared because I know you can beat this small bump in the road. You're a extremely strong honey no one could go through everything you did and still being able to smile and enjoy life." Catleya listens to Lee words of encouragement as she doesn't say anything just slipped her fingers under the door to Lee who smiles placing her hand on top holding them staying like that till it was time to go.

The trio finally come out carrying her bags seeing the whole team waiting for her. Hugging each other with Lee holding her longer telling her she would come find her when they landed.

Once everyone got settled she choose a seat the farthest away from everyone. Not feeling comfortable enough to talk to anyone or the peering eyes that watched her every move so she chose sit there silently.

Looking around the ship but stops when  seeing Cyrus coming over to her. "Hi Angel you're all grown up now so beautiful like your mama. I've missed you so much."
Cyrus spoke her switching between languages hoping Catleya still remembered. She just stared at him like he was a stranger making his heart break till she finally answered grabbing his hand needing comfort for a familiar voice.

"I've missed you too daddy."
