The officer spoke evenly, "[color=f7941d]We have apprehended the last few wolves, but we weren't prepared for the clean-up.[/color]" 

Jax breathed out, "[color=39b54a]Honestly..neither were we. I was expecting a few wolves, not a bloody pack.[/color]" 

The officer laughed, "[color=f7941d]Well on behalf of the town, we appreciate the help from SPA.[/color]" 

Jax felt a warmth move over her, "[color=39b54a]Thank you. My sister and I are locals here so we are honored to come back and help where we can. As well as the rest of the team![/color]" 

After her final goodbyes with the doctors and the officers, she headed back towards the room to hear her father going on about his war triumphs eagerly, "[color=00746b]Then I lifted up the hammer and brought it down to create this crack in the earth. It was like the power of Thor came over me..[/color]" 

Jax barged in, copying him word for word, "[color=39b54a]And your mother couldn't resist! I love that story! So we are all good to go to the house if you guys are ready.[/color]" 

-----------------------------------------

After a slightly awkward drive to the house, where Jax fell asleep again on Morthos this time, they headed out towards the woods where they came to a small dilapidated cottage. It wasn't a large home but it was cozy and had an air of an old-world feel. Jax woke up after the car stopped and she sat up stretching slightly, "[color=39b54a]Oh...sorry. Told you. Travelling tuckers me out. DAD STOP WITH THE LOOK! WE ARE JUST FRIENDS.[/color]" 

She hopped out of the car, rolling her eyes as she looked over at mom, who came up to her slowly, "[color=f49ac2]You really should consider him, Jax. You aren't getting any younger and we don't want to see you go back to the way you were after..you know.[/color]" 

Jax looked back at the group then to the ground, "[color=39b54a]I know. I will pick someone, eventually...I promise. Someone strong.[/color]" 

Jax's dad came up and slapped her on the shoulder, "[color=00746b]Let's not think of that for now. Mom's planned something delicious for dinner.[/color]" 

Jax followed her parents inside looking over to Ophelia who looked like she was going to be sick. She let the boys go ahead of her and hung back giving her sister a look, "[color=39b54a]It's gonna be fine. All of us have your back she won't say anything while we are here. I promise.[/color]
Suddenly she heard laughter and headed into the house, looking around in abject horror, at the pictures staring her in the face. Ophelia's sad yet withdrawn expressions in small pink tutu's, beautiful dresses and recital awards on the mantel. Those were beautiful and right beside them were pictures of Jax with braces, Jax at fat camp, and the trophy Jax won for eating 22 corndogs at the fair. Her favorite picture was both her and her sister one Halloween as a princess and a cowgirl. Ophelia looked like she was on the verge of tears and Jax was laughing so hard that one of her cowhide vests was going to pop off. Jax spoke evenly, "[color=39b54a]I...I can't believe you still have these...treasured moments up for the world to see.[/color]" 

She looked over at Morthos with three different shades of red colouring her cheeks,"[color=39b54a]Um...so..welcome to the house!!![/color]"
