Connection, mind, body. That in essence is Six's power. She has a cardinal connection to her mind that allows for her to regulate her brain and everything the brain controls (i.e. the personal anatomy and all of its somatic functions). The series of functions: autonomic, or involuntary bodily functions, somatic, or voluntary bodily functions, and cognitive, concerning the use of the mind to solve problems; all being in perfect synchronicity and under her voluntary control. Allowing for Six to have unlimited access to the full potential of her brain and body. This doesn't make her the strongest, fastest, or smartest around, but the true strength of her power lies in the number of options it leaves available to her. Even though she hasn't yet mastered the full range of her self-mastery; Number Six's level of know-how gives her proficient control over her surface anatomy allowing her to manipulate her anatomical features to her own desire. Her cognition is advanced enough that she has an intuitive aptitude, instructive muscle memory, and an unlimited capacity for memory.
Even with all, she has been able to achieve while under the instruction of her father, he never felt that she lived up to the potential her saw for her. If fully mastered, Number Six's powers would make her practically immortal, capable of living forever, adapting to anything, possessing endless willpower, vitality, virility, eloquence, charisma. The perfection of her cellular regeneration would suspend Six's aging rendering her ageless. Capable of healing and regenerating from, any wounds, broken bones, low vitality and virility, and even diseases by virtue of her own will. Controlling her anatomic systems fully would make her capable of being entirely self-sustained not having to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep unless she chose or wished to do so. She would have complete control over every muscle, bone, vein, neuron, etc. controlling her flesh and blood, making it move at her conscious or subconscious command. Forging this level of control would give her control over her motions, enable her to augment herself, and make her resistant to forced motor control by others making her resistance to aspects of Number Five's telekinetic control. Having direct and total control over her mental structure would allow her to not only be able to manipulate her emotions at will but sensations, perceptions, consciousness, memories, personality, and everything else connected to her brain and mind. Potentially granting her highly advanced capabilities like mental evolving to the extent of developing psionics abilities. However, with Hargreeves now dead and Number Six having long since given up progressing her range of control; these things are likely never to occur.

Where her level of control stands as of now, Number Six has an expert level of surface anatomic control over her person and limited augmentation capabilities via her ability to focus her senses. Focusing her senses allows her to single-out sights, sounds, smells, taste, and sensations while blocking out her other senses. Through this, parabolic hearing, sensory deprivation, and telescopic vision are things she is able to do. Six has a finite capacity to alter her genetic code which is what enables her to be able to mold her physical characteristics. With this, she can also manipulate her vocal cords allowing for her to mimic the voices of people she's heard before. Using her power to assume the identity of another is possible, but complicated if the person has tattoos and complex piercings as she cannot produce tattoos and piercings on her person. She can rid herself of markings by playing with the pigmentation of the skin, but skin can only take the coloration of natural skin tones so tattoos are impossible for her to duplicate.
While Number Six has not been able to achieve a conscious level over mind and body fully; on a subconscious level her connection supersedes her voluntary control. Although she cannot consciously will herself to do things like heal or regenerate, retain self-sustenance, or manipulate her internal systems; her mind and body have an innate intuition knowing what Six's needs when in dire circumstances. This gives way to her experiencing moments of augmented attributes, healing, and other functions when Number Six finds herself between a rock and a hard place.

Reginald's concerns over the strength and potential of Number Five's telekinetic gifts made him apprehensive when it came to developing Number Six's mental prowess. Knowing that if progressed too far he could have to tend with another child with psionic abilities. Even with the prospect at hand, he did allow for Six to engage in limited cognitive exercises and test in her youth as the risk didn't outweigh the rewards to Hargreeves. Although when presenting her with mental stimuli he was vigilant of progression making sure to keep her in check. When he felt like she was evolving too much he put an end to all cognitive training and dissuaded Number Six from pushing the issues with tactics of fear-mongering insinuating she could find herself in a padded-white-room or capsule beside Number Five. At the point in which Reginald had ceased all training geared towards developing Six's mental capabilities her cognitive competence granted her; a hyper-accelerated thought process and reprogramming, instructive muscle memory, unlimited memory capacity, and the ability to re-experience her memories.
Her accelerated thought process presented her with a tactical forward-thinking mindset that made her predisposed to process unlimited amounts of information, without any hindrances. Capable of processing an infinite number of simultaneous calculations and identify all the variables in any theoretical situation by instantly cross-correlating all the information she has on hand. Mentally being able to reprogram her mind allows her to change behavioral patterns, reflexes, and habits at an accelerated rate. Being able to adjust how she does things, gaining different habits and behaviors within seconds or minutes rather than in weeks, or months. Her mind has an endless capacity allowing her to remember everything she has ever experienced, encountered, or learned. After reading, hearing, or seeing something once it is processed and stored in her memory bank for life. This aids her instructive muscle memory as she is able to replicate actions told, read, or seen by her before. It also provides her with an ever-growing list of memories she can re-experience when the need or want arises.

Considered by Six as her greatest asset; Number six is able to manipulate her emotions at will. It is not a skill that she actively enables in a minute-to-minute or even hour-to-hour basis, but it was a staple trick she demonstrated on an almost daily basis growing up in the Anchor Academy. There are techniques and variations to maneuver; there is the Calm State method, the Emotionless Shell method, and Emotion Focusing. The calm state technique involves Number Six entering a state of self-induced tranquility. Being in this state allows her to remain calm in virtually any situation, granting her clarity and making her apathetic when under extreme acts of emotional or physical distress. This method was most often used by Number Six when engaging in training regimes or as needed to give her an emotional and mental barrier to shield her from Hargreeve's slew of critiques and ridicule. Any time the team was sent out on missions, by request of her father, she devoid herself of all emotion enabling the emotional shell method. Emotion focusing acts similarly to sense focusing, only instead of focusing on one sense and blocking out all others she, in this case, would be honing in on a select emotion and blocking out the others.

The most underutilized component of Number Six's power that she has no real idea of how to access and control is the awareness aspect of her connection. Having an increased self-awareness and conscious knowledge of oneself; would give her a deeper understanding of her own character, feelings, instincts, biology, motives, and desires. Being able to perceive her inner self; seeing her underlying truest wishes and needs, having an unrestricted insight into her own greatest fears, dreams, aspirations, etc. However, as it stands, she lacks any real sense of self-awareness and doesn't know how to obtain this greater understanding of self.

Highly Restraint to Toture; There are many tactics Number Six is capable of utilizing that make her resilient to torture. The manipulation of her own emotions, her mind being able to sever her connection to her pain receptors, and her advance healing factor that she knows will go into effect before her injuries can kill her.
One-Off Brain; Number Six cognitive prowess is superior to that of those she comes across. Her memory is beyond reproach and the way that her mind can process information puts her leaps and bounds ahead of her the rest of the population.
Her Siblings; While Reginald's ranking system served to put the children in competition with one another, Number Six always knew that the true strength of the Academy came from the siblings acting as a unit as opposed to individuals. They all had their quirks and gifts that made them exceptional, but nothing any of them could do on their own could ever surpass the might of them as a collective.

Her Family; A blessing and a curse, while there is an undeniable strength to be found in the Hargreeves clan (when the siblings aren't bickering and letting Reginald's antics divide them), Six can acknowledge to herself that her family is one of her greatest weaknesses. She loves them even when she hates them. And even after leaving the Anchor Academy, they were all still always on her mind and in her heart. She'd kill for them at the drop of a dime without hesitation and also held out hope that one of them would reach out over the years to give them a reason to come together again outside of the Academy. It never happened, but she secretly always hoped.
Emotional Deattachment; While it served as a strength for her during the better part of her childhood, on some level, she always blamed the emotionless approach she took when out on missions for Ben's death. Maybe if she had actually cared more about the individual safety of her family as opposed to being the stoic solider that Hargreeves asked her to be; she would have taken a different course of action and been able to prevent her late brother's untimely demise.
Daredevil; Far from being outright reckless as her accelerated thought process doesn't allow her to not think out her plans of action beforehand. Knowing that her mind and body without provocation will act in service of keeping her alive, makes Six all too eager to put herself in harm's way in front of those she cares for without much thought being given to her own welfare.

Being the Last; Ben dying was the first time Six ever had to grapple with the idea of her siblings not always being around. Than Sven left and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before everyone else did the same. Wanting to be the one to leave as opposed to the one who was left behind is a big reason why Six chose to leave the way she did. Slipping out in the wee hours of the morning of the brood's shared 18th birthday. With them all being legal and able to leave if they wished, Six knew it was only a matter of time before they all started going their own way and made the choice to act first.
However, once gone, she then had to deal with now being alone. At that time she was making the choice to be so, but the memory of Ben made it hard for her not to think of a time when she wouldn't be alone by choice. Number Eight was the only one of her siblings who could possibly be around for the long haul, but given the fact that he aged like the rest of them, she couldn't count on him to be around forever. Sven was theoretical but far from a certainty. If what Reginald had hypothesized about her potentially being immortal was to be believed, Six would one day be the only one left of the Anchor Academy (safe for Grace if she took care of her). She doesn't want to be the last.
Sir Reginald Hargreeves and Number Five; To an extent, all of the Hargreeves children in some way, shape, or form was screwed up and over by their father. The fear Number Six has of her father isn't emotion-based. It stems more from concern than anything else. He was noticeably wary of Number Five's unrealized strengths and her own latent capabilities. She is not afraid of Five by any means but she does worry for them as their father was far from a cautious man, but Five made heedful. The whole thing is just a bit unsettling for her, although in the one-off occasion when she saw Phoenix outside of the Academy they hadn't seemed any less of themself than they had in the years prior.
Unrealized Potential; As apprehensive as Reginald was to allow her to explore the full potential of her capabilities, Number Six has always wondered what the full scope of her power looks like. She doesn't believe she can do this without her father's guidance and thus never attempted to extend her control after leaving the Anchor Academy.

To say that Sir Reginald Hargreeves was a hard-hearted man would be the understatement of the century. He was not shy about hiding his disdain for children in general and as such the little regard he held for the welfare of his adoptees' was unsurprising although still incredibly damaging to the brood in his care. Are far as Reginald was concerned, the prosperity of the world at large was a far greater priority than that of the seemingly insignificant needs of anyone of his respective children. To Reginald, the Anchor Academy was simply a means to an end. Necessary instruments needed to fulfill his personal agendas. This was a truth that Savannah perceived and accepted early on in her youth. And as a way of combating what emotional turmoil was caused by that harsh realization, she began dealing with Reginald from a strictly professional standpoint taking her emotions out of the equation.
He was her father in name but not in her heart. As the years went by she viewed him less as a paternal figure and more so as a vital mentor and overseer. Keeping the emotional walls between her and Hargreeves fortified was an easy enough task as her self-emotional manipulation did the bulk of the work. Any time Reginald's cold indifference, tyrannical tirades, or constant beratement of his children for their individual shortcomings began to get to her emotionally she'd instinctively resort to whichever one of her emotional manipulations served her best at the moment and dealt with Reginald's outburst from a cognitive impersonal approach. This emotional self-insulation shielded her from the brunt of emotional and mental abuse and also made her more empathetic to the plight of her siblings who had no way to protect themselves from their father's unrelenting verbal assaults.
Although Savannah's perceptive of Sir Reginald was warped over the duration of the years that she was in his care, her viewpoint of him never affected the way she saw the others within the Academy. Like the Tin Man of the Wizard of Oz, Grace might not have had a physical heart beating inside her but she was still capable of showering Savannah and others with all of the motherly love that they longed for. While Reginald was a parent in name, Grace was Savannah's only parent in her heart. Pogo had turned out to be more of a father figure to Savannah in her youth than Reginald ever attempted to be. And her siblings were her siblings. She loved them all, although there were days that she could have admittedly done without the presence of Lucien as Reginald's favored child could be a lot to stomach on any given day due to his brown noser tendencies.
The stark contrast between Reginald's Number Six and the boisterous child that Grace named Savannah was very evident. Number Six was the persona Savannah adopted whenever she had to the minion that Hargreeves needed. She was who Savannah was in every training exercise and on every mission. Reserved and calculating. Number Six is a soldier. Performing any task asked of her without qualms or questions. Savannah is the polar opposite of everything Six is. Savannah is the goofy child who would use her powers as a means of mocking and mimicking Lucien's more annoying qualities to get a laugh out of their other siblings. She's the one that showed up to hear Sven out when she needed to vent and rant about how undervalued they felt whilst also making not-so-subtle jabs about how'd they'd make a superior Number One in comparison to the one they currently had.
Savannah enjoyed playing Shadow Seek with the others as Cami would use her shadows to hide from the others and they'd all have to work together to find her. She was there supportively cheering Vya on when he jumped off the roof after failing to convince him that his inklings about him being able to fly were false and attempted to help console Uma when Hargreeves mercilessly killed an injured bird she tried to save. Nate and Ben weren't also the easiest of her siblings to get engagement out of but she'd do he damndest to annoy the hell out of them until they'd inevitably give in and play with her. And while Ronan was most often isolated from the rest of them for observational purposes, she'd go out of her way on a multitude of occasions to bitch and moan to Hargreeves about how unfair it was that Nix couldn't play with them.
Savannah would intentionally go out of her way to find reasons and ways to engage with all of her siblings. This overbearing attentiveness stemming from a sense of guilt she harbored for feeling like she wasn't doing enough to protect them from Hargreeves. Her not being able to grant them the same emotional safeguard she had instilled within herself made her feel a sense of culpability for their individual childhood traumas.

Was the guilt she felt warranted? No, of course not. And on some level, Savannah knew this as the only person who was liable for the ill-treatment of her siblings and self was Reginald. However, she couldn't help but feel like she was slighting her siblings anytime she selflessly chose to secure her own emotional and mental welfare whilst being a bystander to everything the others were going through. So, she made herself always available to them. Hoping that if she was present for them in the ways that she could be that it would in some way balance out all the bad shit that they went through.
Whether or not her efforts made any real difference, in the end, is a verdict she can't give as only her siblings can say for themselves if her presence ever made a difference to them. Regardless if it had or hadn't, eventually, she ended up living the Academy and she hasn't seen any of her family since. Or moreover, when she did see them they hadn't known that they were seeing her so she never got to have a true reunion with any of them. Post-Academy, Savannah still finds herself living her life as two halves of one whole. In her work as first a cop, then a bounty hunter, and now a private investigator; her Number Six persona is still a very prominent part of her life. However, to balance out the work side of her life, she has formed a sort of found-second-family with a pair of brothers and a younger girl she works with at her private investigation agency.
With them, she gets to be unburdened by all of the dysfunctionality of her upbringing. They know of her history as Number Six of the Anchor Academy and yet see value in her outside of that and her powers. Allowing her powers to be something she can do as opposed to being who she is. Which is a sharp contrast to the way she was seen by Reginald. Which has been the most liberating and refreshing part about leaving the Academy. She has a social life limited to just her family, works a job that fulfills her, and gets to live her life as she chooses too. Savannah while still going through her occasional bouts of sadness and loneliness caused by the estrangement of her familial circle, is still pretty content and happy with her life away from the Academy.

Life After the Academy
Being a member of the Anchor Academy and moreover a child of Reginald Hargreeves was far from the luxurious adventuresome experience that the passive onlookers who collected the Anchor Academy's merchandise and brought into the propagandistic drivel that spewed from Hargreeves mouth would be led to believe. To the outside world, the juvenile adoptees of the Anchor Academy were beloved superheroes who fought crime and got to enjoy the lavish spoils associated with being raised by a billionaire. And, while the crime-fighting aspect of the children's lives was more than just newspeak, the public's assumption that the kids under Sir Reginald's care were living this grandiose mirthful life were unequivocally fooled by figments of their imaginations.
Things were at no time picturesque in the Hargreeves household. This isn't to say that things within the home were constantly outright unbearably terrible as that would be a far cry from true. In between the unrelenting and strenuous training regimes that all the children had to partake in as well as the by-the-minute-timed-schedules that Sir Reginald strictly enforced; there were good times, however fleeting as they were. Games of hide-n'-seek that in the Hargreeves house meant Lucky hiding while everyone else seemed, Savannah using her abilities to mock daddy's favorite minion Lucien in secret to the enjoyment of her other siblings (although this often led to Luce and his flashlight hands being angrily pointed in her direction), and all the other shenanigans the youthful brood got into to fill what limited past time they were granted.
Although things were hardly ever perfect, the foundation of the family, however complicated and dysfunctional at times as they were, wasn't truly rocked until the death of Ben. By that point, Sven and Hargreeves had been arguing more frequently due to his inability to just refer to them by the pronouns they'd wish and events such as puberty and just general aging up had dynamics within the home evolving. Ben's death just turned everything on its head and every kid took the loss differently. Sven went full gravedigger and tried to exhume their dead brother's corpse in some half-assed mission to revert his death and on some level prove something to their father. Lucien uncharacteristically became a semi-decent human being which was a drastic changed-and-unforeseen-upgraded from the bootlicking asswipe he'd been prior to the loss. Vya . . . well, Vya actually took things rather okay as while Sven had always taken issue with their ranking within the academy, he'd been more than happy to be at the bottom of their father's superhero hierarchy. Savannah, despite making a conscious choice to suppress her grief outwardly, struggled with mourning the passing of her brother.
Ben's death is what first got Savannah considering what a life outside of the Anchor Academy would look like or if it was even possible for any of them to retire from their lives as superheroes. Reginald's lack of sympathy nor empathy for his children's grief only urged to propel the thought and Sven's defection cemented the desire seeing that it was actually possible for one of her father's little numbers to walk away from the life. On the morning of she and her siblings shared eighteenth birthday, Savannah official divorced herself from the Anchor Academy. Not an easy decision by any means as she knew in choosing to leave the Academy she was consequential cutting ties with her family; Savannah still awoke in the wee hours of that morning and left without a word as everyone else slept. No goodbyes. No contact information. She just vanished from her home like a thief in the night. Catching a cab to an airport, Savannah headed to the States and didn't look back. Although, in hindsight, she had wished she had chosen to leave the day after her birthday that way she could have spent that day with her family.
Initially, once arriving in the States, Savannah attempted to carve out a life for herself in California as a normal mundane civilian. However, the conditioning of her upbringing made it difficult for her to be a complicit bystander when felonious acts occurred in her vicinity. After making more than a few citizen's arrests, a cop at her local police department suggested she enroll in the police academy. At the time she had been working various dead-end jobs and felt that having a stable job would make acclimating into society a lot smoother. However, after graduating and being formerly deputized, she ended up quitting the force eight months in.
Things were at no time picturesque in the Hargreeves household. This isn't to say that things within the home were constantly outright unbearably terrible as that would be a far cry from true. In between the unrelenting and strenuous training regimes that all the children had to partake in as well as the by-the-minute-timed-schedules that Sir Reginald strictly enforced; there were good times, however fleeting as they were. Games of hide-n'-seek that in the Hargreeves house meant Lucky hiding while everyone else seemed, Savannah using her abilities to mock daddy's favorite minion Lucien in secret to the enjoyment of her other siblings (although this often led to Luce and his flashlight hands being angrily pointed in her direction), and all the other shenanigans the youthful brood got into to fill what limited past time they were granted.
Although things were hardly ever perfect, the foundation of the family, however complicated and dysfunctional at times as they were, wasn't truly rocked until the death of Ben. By that point, Sven and Hargreeves had been arguing more frequently due to his inability to just refer to them by the pronouns they'd wish and events such as puberty and just general aging up had dynamics within the home evolving. Ben's death just turned everything on its head and every kid took the loss differently. Sven went full gravedigger and tried to exhume their dead brother's corpse in some half-assed mission to revert his death and on some level prove something to their father. Lucien uncharacteristically became a semi-decent human being which was a drastic changed-and-unforeseen-upgraded from the bootlicking asswipe he'd been prior to the loss. Vya . . . well, Vya actually took things rather okay as while Sven had always taken issue with their ranking within the academy, he'd been more than happy to be at the bottom of their father's superhero hierarchy. Savannah, despite making a conscious choice to suppress her grief outwardly, struggled with mourning the passing of her brother.

After spending the better part of her life abiding by the rules of her father and falling in line with his ranking system, she didn't have it in herself to play politics and conform to a new chain of command. Plus, she hated being put back into a uniform. It was by way of her ex-sergeant's advisement that Savannah found herself turning to fugitive recovery . . . i.e. bounty hunting. The pay was surprising better for her than being a common street cop and she got to do things her own way whilst still managing to make the world a not-so-shitty place to live in. She more or less got to be a real-life Winchester is a sense; frequently traveling from state-to-state, sleeping in cheap motels, eating crappy junk food, and taking down bad guys. The only real difference being that unlike her fictional television counterparts, she actually got compensated for the hunting that she did with money instead of pleasantries and gratitude. Eventually down the line, she ended up partnering up with a man named Louis Evans, and over time he went from being an associate-to-nonsexual-ride-or-die-life-partner. The two were partners for a little over three years before his brother Jett joined and their two-man operation seamlessly became three.
The three of them were inseparable. They rode together, roomed together, ate together, nagged bounties together; Savannah at times felt like she was back in the academy with the way she couldn't turn her head without seeing one of the brothers in her proximity. She loved it. The three had become so close in fact that Savannah opened up to them about the significance of the anchor tattoo branded on the inside of her wrist. They'd questioned her and speculated amongst themselves over what the meaning behind the tattoo could have met and why it was anyone would choose to ink something as random as an anchor on their body. As much as they'd questioned her about the tattoo, Savannah would end up questioning herself on why she chose to keep it. It would have been so easy for her to remove the marking from her person. And yet, she never did. Nevertheless, after years of partnership and moreover friendship, Savannah slightly and slowly began to lift the veil that cloaked the mystery that was her childhood.
She kept things lighthearted for the most part brushing over the tyrannical father, robotic mother, and talking chimpanzee. What she did end up divulging to the brothers were her powers, the fact that she was modeled into a child superhero because of them, her siblings who made up the rest of her child superhero team, along with vague descriptions of their powers, and for the following Christmas, she had acquired old Anchor Academy merchandise that she gifted them to show just how real the stories she had told them were. Sharing all the old tells of her youth made her miss the siblings she hadn't seen or spoken to in half a decade. She wondered what had become of the other seven of her siblings. She wasn't sure who if any of them still fought crime under the Anchor Academy umbrella or if like she, they all ended up fleeing their childhood home.
In spite of her curiosities, Savannah put no effort into uncovering the whereabouts of her siblings, although, that didn't stop Jett and Louis from digging into it themselves. It was through them that she found out the not one but two of her siblings had pursued musical careers that had turned out rather successful from what she could tell. Both Nix and Nate were in bands that were noteworthy enough that their music spread to the States. Jett had tried to convince her to attend a show so that she could see her estranged family members in person, but Savannah had opted against it choosing to instead just purchase both respective bands music and continue loving them from afar.
Coincidently, the following bounty that she'd gotten had her making in impromptu return to Cali. Outside of the city of West Anne, California was the place she had ever called home. While fugitive recovery kept her consistently on the road, between the months she spent training in the academy followed by the short time she spent on the force, Cali was the only place she had any semblance of roots laid down in. Although both brothers claimed to not have been actively looking for them; Jett had unintentionally discovered her brother Vya at a bar called The Alibi that Sav had told him she frequented when she was a cop and Louis somehow ended up crossing paths with Uma down in Venice and had gotten a reading from her.

Savannah had been in disbelief when she was first told, but the brothers had been adamant that through their Christmas presents of Anchor Academy memorabilia that they were confidently able to identify her siblings and they were sure they saw who they saw. Taking the brothers at their word, Savannah decided a one-sided reunion was in order. Adopting a guise for the occasion to conceal her identity from her family, Savannah sought Uma out first. Finding the address to her business online, Savannah was pleasantly surprised when she encountered her sister to see how far her artwork had progressed. As children, Uma's art had been a tool she used as the Watcher to convey the things she saw to their father, but now, it seemed to be more of a passion. Savannah was proud and happy for her sister. Their interaction was nice but brief as Savannah didn't want to risk triggering Uma's powers in any way and exposing herself. Although, she did make sure to support her sister in the same way she had Nathan and Ronan; purchasing her favorite piece of artwork Uma had on sale. From there, in the same incognito disguise, she went to The Alibi where she saw her brother Vya for the first time in years; although he was oblivious of this.
She had concocted this whole story about being an out-of-state cop that had heard about the bar from someone and so forth and had stayed at the bar until closing. While there, she hadn't spoken much to her brother safe for a few words here and there throughout the duration of her visit. For the most part, she had just watched him. Observing him as he flirted and conversed with the male patrons that entered the establishment. He seemed happy. She couldn't help but notice that his anchor tattoo was hidden under the leather of a bracelet he wore. While she couldn't say with certainty, she felt that the placement of the bracelet was very much intentional. Not that she blamed him for wanting to advertise his past. Up until recently the two men that she had been working alongside for a matter of years hadn't known of her status as a former member of the Anchor Academy. She could understand why it was something he wasn't disclosing to the world.
After these one-sided brief encounters, made it a point to avoid The Alibi and Venice as a whole anytime she found herself in the Golden Bear State going forward. As much as she had enjoyed seeing members of her family in-person, they had both carved out lives for themselves outside of the Anchor Academy much like she, and Nathan, and Ronan had; she respected that they all had their own separate lives to live. So, she refocused herself on her own and convinced Louis and Jett that they should get licensed as private investigators. Bounty hunting wasn't permitted throughout America as a whole which made getting jobs difficult at times. Along with that, the pay was inconsistent and the job was beyond hazardous as those running from the law weren't exactly willing to be brought in without a fight. Unlike her siblings, Jett and Louis weren't superpowered beings and at times their line of work found the brothers being more of liabilities to Savannah than partners. As far as she was concerned, being private eyes required a similar skillset to bounty hunting, paid the same if not at times better, and wasn't as dangerous. Perfect for her and her boys. Uprooting and deciding to get certified in England, Savannah and the Evans boys pooled their funds and started their own private investigation agency. In spite of them being new and considerably small in comparison to the established agencies all over the country, the notoriety of the Anchor Academy has proved beneficial to their business. There was an unforeseen amount of people willing to pay the hefty bucks in order to say they had a member of the once-revered school on their payroll.

A short time after getting the agency up and running, Louis brought it to her attention that Ronan's band was playing a show a few hours away from where they were situated. Not so subtly hinting to her that he thought it was a good opportunity to see Nix for the first time in seven years. Savannah had played up her encounters with Uma and Vya to Jett and Louis making it seem as if a real re-connection had been established as opposed to telling them the truth. The truth being that as far as either Uma or Vya were concerned the last time they'd seen Sav was the night before their shared eighteenth birthday. She had initially tried to talk her way out of it, but he had already purchased three tickets for himself, his brother, and her so there was really no way around going. Fortunately for Savannah, between the noise, packed crowd, lights, and Ronan's position on stage; she was pretty certain she'd gone the entire showcase undetected.
By the end of the night, Savannah was actually really glad Louis had gone behind her back and acquired the tickets. Much like in the case of Uma, Savannah was proud and elated to see Ronan doing something she seemed to be passionate about. Whether or not Nix actually enjoyed performing as much as it appeared she did from the audience Savannah wasn't sure but if she wasn't enjoying it she was as good at faking it as Savannah was assuming fake personas. After the concert, Savannah pretended to sneak backstage to see Ronan in order to placate Jett and Louis who had been nagging her about it in between songs throughout the duration of the show. She had in actuality just stood on a really long for the bathroom after the concert, but it got them off her back.
Before either Jett or Louis could find a way to force her into the same room with Nate, Savannah tracked him down first. Concealing her identity as she had in her interactions with Uma and Nate, Sav adopted a groupie persona and found herself partying it up with her brother at one of his band's after-parties. Unbeknown to Nathan, he had drunk, danced, conversed, and overall had a pretty eventful time with his sister who hadn't seen in going on eight years. The night was . . . kind of crazy, but in the best kind of way. Being able to just laugh and talk to one of her siblings in a way she hadn't since their youth was a thrilling and rather meaningful moment for Savannah. She had done an exceptional job of keeping her thoughts and feelings she had regarding her disbanded familial circle at bay, but spending that fun-filled night in her brother's company did more for Savannah then she'd admit to when she got back with Jett and Louis.
In the years that have passed since the night of the after-party; the threesome of Savannah and her boys evolved into a foursome. Jemma Stevens joined their little family almost a year after the move to England and just seamlessly weaved herself into the circle. Unlike, Savannah and the guys she isn't a bullets and sweat kind of person being more akin to studious-scientific shit, but the group adores her all the same. Having found and established a second family with her team; Savannah would never go as far as saying she replaced the siblings she grew up with, but she has definitely gained two brothers and a little sister in the years since parting from the Anchor Academy.
Since leaving, Savannah hasn't put much effort into evolving her powers or extending her control. She just doesn't see the need to. Plus, admittedly, without the guidance of her father, she isn't entirely sure she is even capable of further progression. In her work as a private eye, she doesn't completely rely on her preternatural gifts, but when the occasion occurs she isn't above using her powers to get things done. There are times, like when she was a child, that her mind and body will act of its own accord and act outside of Savannah's control. Unconcerned by this, Savannah isn't bothered by this happening as when it does the result has always benefited her. Nevertheless, Savannah is content with how her life is at the moment. She has a career that she enjoys. The freedom of being her own boss and not being on the receiving end of anyone's orders. She makes a lucrative income having built her agency off of the household name of the Anchor Academy. And, she has a connection to family through her ties with Jemma, Louis, and Jett. Life is as good for Sav as she could ever hope for. Or at least it was until she got a phone call notifying her of her father's death.
Now, all of the scattered Hargreeves siblings are being brought back together for the joyous occasion of their late father's demise and Savannah isn't sure how to feel about it. Or even if she wants to feel any part of it. When Savannah left the Anchor Academy all those years ago she never thought of what she would do when the time came that she would have to inevitably have to return. On some level, she is in some ways happy to have a reason to return. Although given the circumstances surrounding the reasonings perhaps happy isn't the exact word she'd use. Or maybe it's the perfect word. Her dad was a dick. She loved the man but she also hated him. The whole ordeal is just complicated and complex as hell and she can't wait to be done with it all so she can get back to living out the life she's created for herself. Going into this funeral she is praying for the best but expecting the worst.
