## 10 September 2020

Been a while since I wrote stuff down. Uh, a lot of stuff has happened. Like a lot a lot. I talked about Hayeli in the last one, didn’t I? Yeah so she kind of betrayed us in the helicarrier thing. We found out that the whole reason she was there was to let Mirror out. The Black Magic Club apparently set it up for her to even be hired for it with us. So that, that really sucks. But like, there’s more to it than just ‘she betrayed us.’ She’s back now and, wait did I mention she’s back? Did I mention she was missing? Crap jeeze uh so yeah she was gone for like, two or three months, and I met her again in the future. A different future? The wrench future. We did a mission and a time wrench sent us to apocalypse Halcyon. It was real weird, specially cause I like, fell from the sky like I was in freaking Twylite or something. Sledge was there but like old. Oh, I also kind of led some of the new people on a mission? And it ended up working out okay? Maybe I’m not like, a terrible leader or whatever. Violet, Carmen, and Cadenza were all great and like, things went alright. Yeah. But, so, I saw Hayeli there. Like current Hayeli, not old Hayeli. Apparently a bunch of people got yanked by the wrench or whatever, so there was a bunch of civilians, some villains, all of us, it wasn’t a good time. But we kicked Teal Talon’s ass and got people back.
That’s not even the weirdest thing that’s happened. So I thought I found out who my dad was, this Dr Lewis Kerrigan dude. Turns out he’s not my dad, and my mom ain’t even my mom! I hung out with Gwen and she gots the power to like, look at your memories, no, wait, she can look at your past. It was confusing. It was like, retrocogition or something? Anyway, she took me into my brain and we saw my past, like, how it actually was, and this Lewis dude brought me home from a freaking lab! Anna wanted to boot me on the street but he talked her into it cause someone asked them to do it or something, not sure who ‘he’ is when Lewis mentioned that. But like, that Yamato person that a bunch of the team hates was mentioned too. There was something about Project Gauss, and I got no idea what that is, but like, apparently I was involved when I was little, but it got canned and they were just gonna ‘get rid of me’ but Lewis brought me home. I guess he kicked the bucket like right after that cause he was just in that memory. We looked more in my brain and found a weird flash drive in the safe in my-wait I shouldn’t mention where my safe is. I don’t have a safe. Doesn’t exist. Shut up.
The flash drive was like, encrypted or something. Or like, brain encrypted? It’s really weird. It had some paper on it, about like, quantum mechanics and fields and zero points or something, I got no idea what the heck it was. I’m gonna ask Tiago about it whenever I see him next. But yeah, turns out I got no idea who my bio parents are. I guess Lewis still had a big hand in like, being a dad in the sense of like, giving me a chance to live, so, I dunno, if GAIA still wants to be like, step-siblings or whatever that means, I’d like that. GAIA’s awesome, and having a sibling would be dope. I guess I still got a family even if Anna’s not my real mom. Sledge and Temperance are basically my mom and mom anyway. Shit now I really can’t let anyone see this.
Uh, so yeah, it’s been a weird time. Weird but good I guess. I joined the drama club at school somehow, I don’t know how that works since I’m graduated, but Mrs Shakes was pretty adamant about it. I gotta help get A-Vis to like Astra since they got a crush on him too, even if they bugged me about my crushes. Is it still a crush when you’re like, almost kinda dating someone? No idea.
Uh, yeah, I guess that’s it for today. I’m still figuring a lot of shit out. Who I am, how my powers work, who my bio parents are, how to get that freaking armor to not try to kill me whenever I use it, trying to date Hayeli again, but it’s going good. Oh, and I gotta talk to someone timey about how to send a letter to ancient Greece. Those girls in Lesbos wanted to keep in touch.
