I'm sorry that I haven't written a chapter in a while—I've had a serious case of writer's block. But now I have returned, so get ready!

After giving everyone a tour of Sanctus Haven, the codename for their new residence, Janna excused herself to her bedroom, or her “library”, as she accurately described it. Eric, meanwhile, went to the gym for a run around the track, while the remaining four relaxed on the couches in the living room.

Not a bad place over all,”Lexa stated. “Though I doubt we'll be able to peel Jess away from the tech center anytime soon.” She looked at Jesse and smirked.

Jesse frowned teasingly and shook his head. “Come on, Lexa—I'm not that bad.”

Shalimar laughed. "Actually you're worse than you think. But I doubt that Eric would appreciate it if you got another one of those Tunnel Quest games after all the hard work he, Janna and Adam put forth."

"Chill, you guys--I think we all learned from that incident," he replied. "Besides, I had a cohort when that happened, remember?" Here he looked pointedly at Brennan.

"Yeah, but you uploaded the stupid thing," Brennan stated. "But that's not the real issue at hand here. Truth is, none of us really knows what's going on, and to top it off, Adam--the only one who might possibly have a fix on things--is in the Dominion's clammy hands right now."

"Thankfully, the enemy doesn't have information on any of us," Lexa said. "I figured something was up, so as a precautionary step, I uploaded the 'kanemutiny' virus into the computers at Sanctuary and Dominion headquarters. I also left a video for you guys to see before the virus kicked in, in case the worst had happened. So whatever files there were about any of us were completely wiped out, and we're safe for now."

"Yeah, but also hungry," Janna's voice cheerfully echoed from the balcony. "I decided to forgo fixing a feast tonight, so I ordered us some pizza. Everyone game?"

"That's too bad--I was really hoping for some spaghetti," Eric quipped, having just entered the living building.

"Yeah--maybe tomorrow ni--"

Suddenly the wood railing on which Janna was leaning snapped in half, sending her flailing and screaming towards the main floor!

"Janna!" Eric shouted as he ran towards her falling form. Without warning, he started glowing, and as fast as a comet, went up in the air, followed by something like the sound of a firecracker. Before those watching could understand what they were seeing, Eric returned to normal, caught Janna in midair, powered back up, turned around, and landed in front of them, setting her on her feet again.

"Wow!" was all Shalimar could manage for the moment.

"Now that was cool," Lexa admitted.

Jesse looked at Brennan, who was absolutely speechless, and patting his friend on the back, said, "And now you know."

"Ah, Janna," Eric said teasingly, "I think now would be a good time to put your fixer-upper skill to work."
