Set ten years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, John Connor and his mother, Sarah Connor, are off-grid and separated in 2005. While Sarah is at Norfolk, Virginia, for matters too personal to tell her own son, John is surviving on his o...

Reyna turns on the shower in the Machens' guest bathroom and steps inside, embracing the cool water. After involuntarily waking up and a hard morning's work, it was much needed.
She had picked up two large bales of hay without help and forgotten that Errol was there, an audience to her super strength. He'd then shed a tear and put a hand to his heart.
Afterwards, she helped him harvest any ripe fruit and vegetables, and helped him clean up the fallen apples from the orchard before he politely excused her for her help and hard work.
Reyna scrubs herself clean with goat milk soap and wraps herself with a dry towel. She walks down to the hallway and into the guest bedroom, where Toni had laid out some temporary outfits while she washed Reyna's clothes.
The supersoldier glances between a red tank top paired with jeans and a sage green dress. It was a logical choice to pick the tank top and jeans, but the dress...what about the dress? Either way, her boots would pair well with both outfits.
On a whim, Reyna slides on the green dress and moves around in it, ensuring that she can fight well in it. Once it was to her standards, she combed her hair and headed downstairs for breakfast.
She smells buttery pancakes and hears John and Ramona discussing her latest artwork.
"....and this is you and Esmerelda!" Ramona squeals.
Reyna pauses in the kitchen doorway, glancing at John and Ramona at the breakfast table, eating pancakes. John's jaw drops again at the sight of Reyna.
"Come on, Kit." Errol sighs as he flips a pancake on the stove. "It's rude to stare. Yesterday at dinner you couldn't take your eyes off of Esmer-"
"What's for breakfast, Toni?" Reyna politely interrupts, even though it was clear what the breakfast was based on what Ramona and John were eating. She feels her own face begin to heat with John's. Combine their blushing, and their heat could be used to cook the pancakes.
Toni claps her hands together. "Oat pancakes! Come, I have a place for you." She gestures to the seat beside John.
The supersoldier sits down and sips on cool apple juice. Ramona begins to show Reyna her latest work. It appeared to be painted stick figures of John and Reyna walking together in the farm yesterday evening. How Ramona managed to mix the correct shades of pinks and yellows to replicate the sunset yesterday, Reyna didn't know.
"Mommy said it was rude to watch you and Kit, but the sun was so beautiful yesterday and I just had to include you and Kit. You both were perfect." Ramona says with embarrassment.
John turns away, hiding a smile, though the same couldn't be said for Reyna, who bites her lip. How did a four-year-old know so much?
"Thank you, Ramona." Reyna says as Errol serves her fresh pancakes and the rest of his family pancakes.
