Gen 2, Chapter 5: Totally Spies

Throughout the years, every one of the Adams heiresses had their special hobbies, the one activity they could always turn to when times got rough. Evelyn had her painting. Penny had her violin, and if there was one thing that Lucy had growing up, it was chess. After school, she'd always ask her father to drive her to the library or the park to play chess. If her father was busy, she'd walk to the library to play chess.

Why chess? Growing up, Lucy lived in a three-room house; There was a kitchen, a bathroom, and a single (though rather large) bedroom, where everyone slept together no matter how old they were. Needless to say, Lucy needed some money in her life, lest the family go another generation living in the same house that their grandmother was raised in. So, when she heard about the possibility of working as a government agent and the cash that came with the job, all she wanted to do was make sure she got a head start into a better life for her family, even if it would have to wait for a while down the road.

Whenever her mother got upset at her future plans of a complete renovation, Lucy would casually drop in the reminder that she wasn't just doing this for herself. She was doing this for the entire rest of the legacy family. Which, after her time was up, would still be at least 7 more generations, so there wasn't really any way it was a bad investment.

To her mother's dismay, as this meant the renovations would definitely be happening somewhere down the line, she graduated high school and instantly nabbed a job as an Agent Handler. It seemed like her future was secured.

Gen 2, Chapter 3: The Krysta Story

"I really don't mind long stories, Leroy. In this family, we're all about having a story to tell, remember?" "But you really should get some sleep, don't you have work in the morning?" "You being upset is a lot more important than how I feel at work in the morning. I'll just take off if I'm that tired when I've got to leave." "Alright then, I guess it's story time. The story starts about seven years ago, when I had just gotten out of teen hood when I first met one of the local gym trainers, Krysta Vera. With her long black hair, beautiful body, and feminine walk, there was no way I could ever resist going into a relationship with her from the moment they first made eye contact, despite her toxic ways. Of course, I didn't know any better before I met you." Penny giggled a little before letting the silence sit again, now taking a sleeping Lucy who was right across the room into account, but she was still unsu...

Gen 2, Chapter 1: Penny for Your thoughts

A little while longer, and, for the first time in her life, Penny was alone.  The brothers of the family were now both living with Blaine, caring for a sick, grieving Zara. (Her father and mother died just a week apart, and the postpartum depression she was going through wasn't doing her any favors either.) Speaking of sick, their mother wasn't doing any better, and so they all had decided that sending her to the old folks' home was for the best. For now, Penny was alone in the tiny little family home her mother had raised her in, and she was now determined to never wait; While that may seem like bad morals, having your dad die right in front of your eyes of old age because he had waited too long to have you seemed like a pretty good reason to cut to the chase. Surely, whatever gods had control over fate and love would give her just as much success as they had her mother, right? Wrong. There was only one man she had her eyes on, and he liked playing hard to get. L...
