She never had a chance. Outnumbered and outmatched two to one with a secret that could jeoprodize their mission, Sadia was taken out quickly. She felt herself fade beneath the barrier of a new mind...a new self... A new identity. But as well planned as this was, they had committed one fatal error. Lightning.
Lost-memory Sadia wasn't sure why, but lightning seemed to be something different about her. It kept showing up. It was important.
When Jaxyn told them it was the link to her old mind, she knew. She was still holding on. She wasn't erased... And Hayes was going to break her free. She would remember. She would be free again.
She would be this 'guardian' they kept calling her, Hayes's wife, their friend... She would be Sadia again. The real Sadia. Then maybe she would belong again... With them. Watching over the planet. Maybe she and Hayes could even be parents one day... She wanted her identity back. The identity that was stolen from her and buried beneath a fake life.
Hayes being in her mind might be slightly nerve-wracking, but it was the best option. After all, he seemed to be trustworthy, and she was sure he'd want to get her old self back. So did she. She couldn't wait to get one power back in particular - the power where she could hug him without being burned.
