Chapter 106: An emotional goodbye.
Hades flinched.
Sunshine softened her tone and run her hand through his hair. "Sorry. I did not mean to raise my voice at you, but I need you to trust me and support me."
He nodded, forcing himself to swallow the rest of the things he was going to say. "I trust you. I just hate knowing that you are heading out in danger and I am not going to be with you even though I can help."
She slowly arched his head back and looked down into his eyes. "You will be helping by keeping our home protected and alive while I am gone. Nothing will motivate me to finish the mission quicker than knowing that I have you and the children waiting for me. Trust me, having a safe home to go back to in the apocalypse is fuel that keeps everyone going."
He nodded. If that was what she needed, he would do it. It was their home; it would not make sense if they both left. His idea of putting the children in the space and all of them leaving fizzled out.
Hades was worried that they would just burden her along the way. How could she protect herself out there if she was protecting them as well? Wouldn’t they be the new Cassius and Raine couple that had hid behind her all the time before her rebirth?
He became calmer as he saw more reason. "We will talk when you return." He told her.
Robo-dog trotted into the living room, barking twice before turning and leaving. Lisha walked into the living room, looking just as unhappy as Hades had been when he heard the news.
"Not one word." Sunshine told her.
She and Hades separated completely, and he stood up, following her to the bedroom. He watched her pack up her tools and then they went to the information center in the first wall. The team which was going for the mission had gathered.
