It's goanna be a long day

Tala headed to the mine with Band and Zoe on either shoulder carrying Blitz in her arms. As she got to the entrance she looked around before sitting an waiting for a while. "At leaste I'm not late this time for once..." she muttered as she heard someone approach.

Vanessa was a couple of metres from the mine "i dunno about this..."

Darcy and a man slightly shorted than him with black-blue hair and blue eyes walked next to them. "She'll be fine, they've all been trained even without knowing it!" Darcy assured knowing what she was thinking. "Besides she's just to pick up a package and drop it off, no harm!" the other man shrugged. Tala sat and waited for them to acknowlage her.

Vanessa nodded at Darcy and slowly walked on

Tala put Blitz, Zoe and Band down telling Band to watch Zoe and Blitz. She then turned to the group. "Hi Uncle Darcy, morning Uncle Jason, Hiya Mum! So what's my task?" she asked.

Vanessa looked to darcy,she didn't exactly know

"Just a pick up, Drop Take this package!" he said handing her a brown package. "Alright," Tala muttered taking it.

Vanessa looked around a bit

"Drop off is to Isao and tell him to send it to Sakura! That's all!" Darcy said with a grin. "Good so can we get outta here now?" "No, so stop acting like a child and be patcient, Jason!" "There's an old saying 'Patience is a virtue!'" Tala gently scolded her uncle. Jason gave a childish pout and Darcy gave a chuckle.

vanessa noticed a shadow to her left

While Vanessa was distracted Jason handed Tala a small box. "Inside is a very small microphone known as a 'bug'. Plant it on someone in team Genesis so we can keep an ear on them." Jason told Tala through aura. Tala gave a nod "I understand I'll do my best!" she replied. "Mum, what's wrong?" she asked putting the items in her bag.

Draco emerged rom the shadows and smiled at them

Tala looked at him a bit surprised hoping he didn't see or hear what they had just spoke about. "O-Onii-Chan? Uh hiya how are ya?" she stuttered. Darcy and Jason gave a wave.

Draco waved back "i'm fine thank you Tala" he turned to vanessa "good to see you mother!" Vanessa smiled,but stopped after she registered what he just said

Tala raised a brow slightly confussed since her conversation at the volcano a while a go he only ever reffered to her as 'Sis' he only referred to her by her name when he was shouting for her and he wasn't shouting for her now. "Hi kiddo, I'm your uncle Jason, you're Draco right?" Jason said casually. Darcy noticed Tala's unease but said nothing.

Draco nodded and noticed Vanessa's expression "what's wrong mother?" vanessa flinched and gave her son a worried look "y...you can't be......Draco what's happened to you?" Draco gave his mother a confused look

Band gave Zoe a nod and they both pounced on Draco's sides stealing Neon and Fortune's pokeballs. "Draco something's wrong with you! When you talk to me y'know casually you call me 'sis' not 'Tala' and now that I think about it when I ask you how you are you never say 'Thank you' at the end!" Tala pointed out as Band let Fortune out of his pokeball.

Fortune looked around "mis?mismagius mag?(huh? goodness,where am i?)" Draco raised a brow "i have no idea what you mean!"

Zoe ran into Tala's arms and Blitz hid behind her. "You're aura's wierd too!" she groaned. "Something is wrong with Draco and you can help us find out now let's go Fortune!" Band said to the Mismagius. Jason and Darcy stood back and left the girls to it.

draco put his hands up slightly "listen,i'm fine!" Vanessa clenched her fists a bit "no your not!"

"Ladies! Ladies!" Darcy began holding his hands up. "If the boy says he's fine then he's fine don't hassel him!" Jason groaned. Tala shook her head "If you don't tell me what's wrong how will I trust you?" Tala asked to try and see Draco's reaction having a rough idea of what he would say if he was actually fine.

Draco smiled "i'm fine! both of you need to stop worrying!" Vanessa hid her eyes "what's wrong mother?" "that's just it!!" Draco raised a brow "you can't be MY Draco! he never calls me mother! mainly coz i told him to just stick with mom!" Draco flinched with a shocked look

"Draco...?" Tala began worriedly. Band turned to her and went to her side leavig Fortune on his tod. Darcy and Jason looked at each other very confussed.

Draco held and earpiece in his right ear "commander,have you arrived?" Membrio came out from Jason's left "yep,i knew they'd catch you sometime!" vanessa recognised him "MEMBRIO!? what have you done to my son!?" Membrio sniggered "pretty handy that cyto knows hypnosis!" "HYPNOSIS!?" Vanessa looked to her son,who was barely able to fully open his eyes. Vanessa's jaw dropped as she backed off slightly

Tala looked to the ground angry. "She said she'd do what she'd like to him even if Nucleo didn't like it. I knew she'd do something horrible but I didn't imagine something this horrible!" she said rage in her voice. Her eyes began to glow a bright amber and Band pushed Zoe and Blitz away from her. Darcy and Jason sttod a bit further back.
