She walked through the unlocked front door. Setting a fast food bag and a six pack on the counter. She cracked open a beer taking a long draw from it. The living room had an overstuffed couch and chair. One wall was lined with shelves of marble statues. She grabbed the sub from the bag chewing it slowly in thought. She placed the food on the coffee table and sat back staring at the rose quartz statue. It felt like a life time since she had been home both in years and time. She looked out to the ocean, surf was up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not,\u201d she thought.<\/p>\n
She striped off her clothes down to a one piece suit, showing of the tattoo on her right shoulder. The tattoo of heart and a ribbon Diego and Jessy is all it said. She hefted the extra large board from the corner and headed out to hit the waves, thinking \u201cDaddy won\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat pulled open the screen door for her.\u00a0 Dressed in linen slacks and a Hawaiian shirt he still doesn\u2019t look anywhere near 32.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
She spun around, placing the board back. She smiled brightly at him, her skin a rich coppertone, her wheat hair cut short but long enough to cover her ears, \u201cLong time no see. Bring it in.\u201d She opened her arms for a hug. After the gentle embrace she offered, \u201cWant a beer?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat returned the hug, pausing a moment to check out the ink.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather thing one, how are you doing and what have you been up to?\u00a0 Father thing two, you are not old enough for beer but if you are like me, it\u2019ll take more than six for you to feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He put a finger on her shoulder and turned her for a better look at the ink.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not fresh, is it?\u00a0 How long you Time it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHave a seat we need to talk, and as for Father thing one, I am currently between teams and healthy as an elf. Father thing two I am eighteen, legal to drink in most states. I had to find a point in time when I was off off world. You will find all about it from Raven in a letter. And my Tatt, just a reminder, but that isn\u2019t why I am here.\u201d She grabbed another bottle of beer. \u201cI want to know, I want to understand. Did I fuck your life up, by what I did?\u00a0 Did you only visited me because I came to you that day? \u00a0You know when the battle happen.\u201d Her eyes where a little misty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat in the world would make you think that you fucked up my life?\u201d\u00a0 Nat wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, gently.\u00a0 \u201cYou hastened the inevitable.\u00a0 I was in a bad place when it came to your mother at that point.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t trust her further then I could throw the Hunt Valley but at some point I would have admitted to myself that there was no way in Hell I could live without you in my life.\u00a0 Did that fuck up my life?\u00a0 I don\u2019t think so.\u00a0 It enriched it.\u00a0 I got to know you \u2026 by the way, even then I love you, so this bull about messing up my life is just that, bull.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you said I sounded just like mom, that she was selfish in her actions. Well, so was I. Why the double standard? You said mom ruined your life, as I got to see firsthand what it did to her life. Your life was a weekend dad show, I don\u2019t know what your life really was and you moved to a different world to be away from us. Both of you kept me in the dark like a mushroom. Why would you hate her and not me for doing a selfish act?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWere you responsible for being born?\u201d Nat said, pushing her out to arms length, hands still holiding her.\u00a0 \u201cI moved to a different world because this is my home, it is were I was born, where Wren as born.\u00a0 You have enough of both your mother and me to understand that we had a duty.\u00a0 Mine is to this world where our kind is just getting started.\u00a0\u00a0 As for the \u2018weekend dad show\u2019, that too, is bull.\u00a0 You think that was all I wanted was the weekend?\u00a0 But you belonged with your mother and I never wanted to take you from her regardless of what she might have believed.\u00a0 Sure, I threatened to try to take you, but I know and she knew it was all smoke.\u00a0 I never had a chance.\u00a0 I had to settle for what I could get and if you thought for a minute that I wouldn\u2019t have taken more, you\u2019re wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
He released her and grabbed a beer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to remember, Jasmine, where I was at the time, where your mother was at the time and what had gone on between the two of us.\u00a0 I was mad, sure, but really, I was more devastated emotionally.\u00a0 You had sixteen of your mother\u2019s emotions and what?\u00a0 A couple of years all total with me?\u00a0 By the time you were allowed your first visit when you were six, I\u2019d gained a lot of perspective, both on your mom and you.\u00a0 And my life was going along as I could only have dreamed at sixteen.\u00a0 As much as Jessy would hate to learn, Wren had everything to do with that perspective.\u00a0 She loves me unconditionally, no matter what had come before.\u00a0 She has come to love you every bit as much as Conner and Katie.\u00a0 I hope as much as Diego loved you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I am. I could go back now and erase it all. I know what point in time, to do it in. I could give you the retro active abortion you wished for. Only you would never know of any of it.\u00a0 Archer and Raven would never have found her, so they would not have gone through all the hell that keeping her, caused.\u00a0 She would never existed so you would never have known her.\u00a0 Not to say that you would still have Wren. When you change one point in time it has a butterfly effect.\u00a0 I know when and where, to make it so my mom never lived, she would have died the day my name sake died, thus erasing all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jay fumbled through the clothes on the table pulling out an old pocket watch, opening it for the music to fill the air, \u201cI kind of understand why my Uncle wants me dead.\u201d She pulled out the stack of photos in the lid and handed him the one of human Jessy with her bio-dad, \u201cI shouldn\u2019t warn you but if he follows me he will kill you and the whole family, even Conner and Katie.\u201d She tapped at Jessy\u2019s dad, \u201chis twin brother hunts me and everyone attached to me. You say the word and I can make sure that everyone is safe. Reto abortion, would be the easy way out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWouldn\u2019t work.\u00a0 Even I understand a time paradox.\u00a0 You go back and stop your being born and you think that will fix things.\u00a0 But that means if you were never born, you were never able to go back and change time, which means things don\u2019t change and you\u2019re caught in a loop.\u00a0 Thing is, Jasmine, things don\u2019t need to be fixed.\u00a0 This is the way things are and the way things should stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat finished the beer and set the empty on the counter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hated your mother \u2026 for about a year \u2026 then I just loathed her \u2026 not quite as bad as hate.\u00a0 I got to see you, play with you, love you, without interference from her and the loathing became dislike.\u00a0 Then I got to know Diego.\u00a0 Diego told me about Jessy and you, and the dislike softened to something like \u2026 disinterest, but that isn\u2019t quite right.\u00a0 I was still interested enough to care about her welfare.\u00a0 I never wished your mother harm, even when I hated her.\u00a0 I might have spouted off about some things but in my heart I couldn\u2019t wish ill on her.\u00a0 And when Raven came to tell me she was dead \u2026 Wren and I were both ready to go in just a few minutes.\u00a0 I would have killed or died to protect her.\u00a0 Not just because of you, but because that is what is right.\u00a0 Hate is something the burned out of me \u2026 I don\u2019t even hate HARP, and they have been trying to kill us for \u2026 well, ever since they found out we existed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh okay, the hard way it is.\u201d She stood up walking to the selves, picking up him riding the wave. \u201cNo idea what to do with mom\u2019s erotica statues of you, if you want them I can get Matt to have them beamed to you.\u201d She set the figure back. I know you had a ton of questions for me back than. Still have any?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean \u2018the hard way\u2019?\u201d Nat put his fists on his hips.\u00a0 \u201cJust what are you asking me, Jasmine?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not going to hear from me for a few years, the post cards are going to stop. I will not be here nor in the other dimension Earth. You don\u2019t have to worry because as you see I am still alive. I had to call on grandpa to get me back but I am alive. I refuse to let any of them even \u2026., \u201cshe paused in order not to become angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one picks my path for me. I do. I might be the last of the Lady\u2019s of the sands of time and space but I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care what others want of me. I had to give you a choice before I begin my new journey. I just wanted to make sure, I didn\u2019t fuck everything up before I leave again, where ever that may be. I had to make sure that you knew of the danger, me living will bring on you. At least you know in two years I\u2019ll be at the Villa in Spain, going through the estate.\u201d She paused, \u201cOkay I am trying to avoid. I\u2019m not use to sharing my inner self any more. At sixteen, shit just flowed from mouth, that should have never of been said. No one needs to know any of that but you already know. So if you have any questions, now is the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, you want questions, let\u2019s start with your comment \u2026 both of us kept you in the dark .. there was never anything I kept hidden from you.\u00a0 I can\u2019t read your mind, unlike others of your blood, so if you wanted to know something, all you had to do was ask.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat moved to the \u2018fridge and found a bottle of water.\u00a0 He uncapped it and watched his daughter.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019d think after Jay\u2019s visit you found out a hell of a lot more then you ever asked me about as Jasmine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike there was time.\u201d She started loading the pictures back into the watch. \u201cI had just found out the day they died, about how I came to be. Till than I didn\u2019t have a real clue, things just didn\u2019t add up. You both kept me in the dark, till I finally started looking for answers. Mom would never tell me anything about you, other than your greatness and achievements; Spock was no help, that was restricted info. Grandma had too many logs to go through.\u201d She picked up her shorts sliding them over her suit, stuffing the watch back in her pocket. \u201dThan, there was grandpa.\u201d She pulled her mid sleeve tee shirt on. \u201cBoy did he give me the down low, after he caught me going through the logs.\u201d She collect the empties and the trash heading for the kitchen, \u201dSo yeah the first chance I got to ask you anything I was here, sixteen in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJasmine, you never asked me what happened, and do you know what I would have told you?\u00a0 Ask your mother.\u00a0 You know why?\u00a0 Because I never wanted to say anything bad about your mother and I sure as hell wouldn\u2019t have spoken so freely to Jay is I had know who she was.\u00a0 Did you come to me intensionally in your older form, betting that I wouldn\u2019t recognize you just to pump me for information?\u201d<\/p>\n
Idly he twisted the water bottle top off and one.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstand, that if your mother could not or would not tell you, I would have but I would have been very careful of my words.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, my powers where just kicking in, I was a late bloomer on a lot of them. The emotional strain of finding out I what I was and than to have them both\u2026\u201d she wiped a tear from her eye, her voice unaffected, \u201cdie before my eyes. I just wanted to understand and poof, I was back in time, not sure who I was, where I was, just knowing the answer was near. I just had to find it and I did, a total unvarnished tale. I wouldn\u2019t have wanted any other version. If you picked your words and soften things up, it wouldn\u2019t have answered what I wanted. \u201d She tossed everything away. \u201cWhen I returned to my place I time, I just wanted to run away. Guess I did, but you know, I needed that time. It lead me to find out more about the other family that hunts me.\u201d<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to worry. I\u2019m very capable of fighting my own battles and if I get into trouble, I have no problem in sending a S.O.S.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did not get an unvarnished answer, not from me, harsh, yes, I was pissed.\u00a0 That was only one side though, the mad side, the betrayed side, even the victim side … Yes, I was a victim, I learned that in rape councelling.\u00a0 I am sorrier then you can understand that your mother never got the chance to explain her actions to you.\u00a0 You\u2019ll never get to see her side.\u00a0 THAT is what I wanted you to have, all sides, the angry side, the love side, the rediculous side, the tragic side.\u00a0 Now you only have the angry side and the tragic.\u00a0 You have to sift through a lot of second hand information and circumstantial evidence to be able to draw your own conclusions.\u201d<\/p>\n
He dropped the bottle into a recycle bin.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have questions, now is the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know her side,\u201d she sat on the stool, \u201cshe left her story in every piece of work she did of you. From the first naked wave to the Polynesian hut. Did you know she burned for you, thus by making me, she cursed herself to be barren to all others? It\u2019s a fireoak elf thing. Yeah, I know her story.\u00a0 She never had to tell me.\u00a0 I asked the important question already. I think I understand and as long as I didn\u2019t fuck up your life, we are good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Polynesian hut?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jay looked at him, \u201cIf if wasn\u2019t you, than the guy was your twin. The last of the set had the Asshole tearing her way, burning the hut.\u201d She growled, \u201cFucking dragon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t me.\u00a0 After what happened on Ea, I was never alone with your mother except the one time in her shop and then Diego was there for part of it.\u201d\u00a0 He crossed an arm across his waist to cup the elbow of the other, hand pressed against his cheek.\u00a0 \u201cAnd what do you mean the last of a set?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLike her Bio dads doll house, she left me my own of her life. There is this one glorious week, with you and her in the hut, the last was Nick destroying it all and carrying her away. I know it\u2019s her because of the blob form. \u00a0She could never do herself. But it was you \u2026\u201d Jay looked at her wristwatch the three faces ticking, the one at a stand still, \u201cWell guess I should get back to Matt. He is still inventorying all my baby clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou on a time schedule?\u201d Nat asked.\u00a0 \u201cHaven\u2019t even asked you yet about this \u2018not going to hear from me for a few years\u2019 \u2026 your few years or mine?\u00a0 What are you running from?\u00a0 And what about this threat to me and your brother and sister?\u00a0 You have to give me some kind of idea what we will be facing.\u00a0 You can\u2019t just drop a bomb and run.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry Daddy, we are two years off each other. Just remember you can\u2019t tell anyone what I tell you.\u201d she started to explain, \u201dI just left this time, with my new team. Third team, first two were a wash. I just didn\u2019t fit in. Our time were chasing down my Uncle. I found he is the one who killed my mom and daddy Diego. He is the Lord of the sands of time and space and he is hunting me down to kill me. So I turned the table to hunt him.\u201d She grabbed the last beer, opening and drinking it.\u201dHe is powerful and will kill anyone connected with me, to get to me. I barely escaped. Heres the kicker, he escaped grandpa. You see him run like hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he escaped Ghost Archer, it is only temporary, he will find him and kill him.\u00a0 That is one thing I will always trust Ghost Archer to do.\u201d Nat said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd \u2018powerful\u2019 doesn\u2019t give me any information.\u00a0 Nick powerful, Archer powerful?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope he doesn\u2019t, I want that pleasure.\u201d She drank her beer, \u201cHe is an elementalits, and he can summons a creature for every person in the area. One of those is what killed Diego and mom. I fucking ran from mine, figured it would be easier to kill him than that thing. The creature has three forms that are connected and each form has the powers of the person it looks like.\u201d She paused as if too much pain flooded her mind, \u201cHe does lighten bolts, wind, travels the sand of time and space.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat shook his head.\u00a0 \u201cGhost Archer probably already took him out.\u00a0 Did you ask him?\u00a0 This could be a wild goose chase.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad! I haven\u2019t meet him yet in your time!\u201d He is out there right now hunting me while I hunt him. You are all I got left and I don\u2019t want to bury this side of the family, too. I am giving you heads up so if he comes after you, you are ready. I know he\u2019s out there, we share the sands of time and space. I know he lives just like he knows I do. It\u2019s a feeling but I will swear by it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, two years from now, Ghost Archer runs across this guy.\u00a0 At that point I gather we are still alive so you figure the warning worked, or was never needed.\u00a0 Now you are going to go off and face this monster on your own? Tell me again, what ARE your powers?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat thing about being a time traveler, I have all the time in the world to hone my skill for the job. And for my powers, I have my sand powers, my sands of time and space and my elf traits. Course they are stronger than you remember but just not strong enough.\u201d She added \u201cYET \u2026 Dad do mind if i slip into something more comfortable?”<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know where everything is.\u201d He replied.\u00a0 \u201cYa know, just for fun, maybe you should try those sand powers on me.\u00a0 Just to see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
She slipped off the chair and knelt to the sand cover floor. Leaning back she transformed, the sands streamed over her flesh, the flesh given way to firm sand. Sandy stood to her feet, the sand sculpture of a nude elven girl with long waist hair, her ears tipping out of her hair, her facial details smoothed to being almost not there but her eyes held the ocean. \u201cNow, that\u2019s much better.\u201d She headed to the sliding doors. \u201cNot sure I like this idea, I know I am going to hold back.\u201d She pulled the door open and stepped out to the back porch.<\/p>\n
Nat stepped outside with her.\u00a0 He crossed his arms over his chest.\u00a0 \u201cArm?\u00a0 Leg?\u00a0 Chest? Whenever you\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want simple or what I do in normal combat?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see what you can do in normal combat.\u201d He replied.<\/p>\n
The sand of the backyard erupted directly under Nat, the ground beneath his feet giving way.\u00a0 He vanished, leaving only over-turned Bemuda grass.\u00a0 The ground surged and her father hopped out of the hole, landing astride it.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot much of a challenge,\u201d he commented.\u00a0 \u201cBut then I\u2019m a lot stronger than \u2026 well \u2026 anyone on the planet.\u00a0 Whatelse ya got?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sand swirled in from every direction, spinning, picking up trash and even small stones.\u00a0 All rose into the sky.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d say at least five hundred knots of wind there,\u201d Nat said, still standing astride the original hole.\u00a0 Thing is I am married to a woman that can throw me into the stratosphere, literally, 35000 feet.\u00a0 She\u2019s actually altering gravity where you\u2019re relying on the wind you generate with the movement of the sand.\u00a0 That\u2019s not a problem for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jasmine frowned.\u00a0 She held a lot of guys off there feet with that one while her teammate blasted the hell out of them.\u00a0 She was of two minds, frustrated that it didn\u2019t work but proud that it was her dad that could do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cGot anything more direct?\u201d Nat asked.<\/p>\n
She tried the oldest trick, sand in the eyes, he didn\u2019t even flinch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been told my eyes are a super as the rest of me but I can see, pardon the dad joke, where It could be a problem for someone else.\u00a0 Come on, Jasmine, hit me with your best shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy,\u201d she almost whined, almost \u2026 \u201cI cut a car in half with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, I throw cars, to Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat half smiled.\u00a0 \u201cI am sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jasmine shook her head, \u201cOkay, you asked for it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sand erupted from the tip of one finger, a pencil thin stream under extreme pressure.\u00a0 She HAD actually cut a car in half, to save some kid that was trapped in the wreckage.\u00a0 It had been like cutting Jello.<\/p>\n
The blast struck Nat square in the chest and instantly wore a hole through his Hawaiian shirt.\u00a0 When it touched his skin, it just turned into a cloud of sand and fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
Nat took a couple steps over to her and lifted her chin, closing her mouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can \u2026 sorta do that one \u2026 but continously, like a cutting torch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat held out his arm.\u00a0 \u201cGive it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n
She held the attack, that she thought could wear away anything, for a full seven seconds.\u00a0 Exhausted, she had to stop.\u00a0 Her dad\u2019s skin hadn\u2019t even turned red.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had the army fire an anti-tank round at me.\u00a0 It hurt like Hell, but other than it burned off most of my clothes, but nothing more than scorch mark that washed off with water,\u201d Nat grinned.\u00a0 \u201cIt scare the Hell out of Wren.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think grandpa could do that \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat laughed.\u00a0 \u201cWhy would he?\u00a0 GHOST Archer, everything just passes through him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNAT?\u00a0 THAT YOU?\u201d\u00a0 Cass\u2019 voice drifted out of her kitchen window.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Cass.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be over to see you in a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou bring the kids?\u201d\u00a0 The woman called.<\/p>\n
He checked for Jasmine\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly kids here, grandma Cass, is me and Daddy.\u201d She looked at her Dad, \u201cI told you I hadn\u2019t got strong enough, yet. My whole team was beaten, when I got the ass to follow me.\u201d She looked at her watch, \u201cDo you know any good fast food pick up joints in Spain?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019ve never been to Spain,\u201d he started.\u00a0 \u201cBut I been to Oklahoma \u2026 But really, Jasmine, your \u2026 target, do you honestly think he could hurt me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYES\u201d, she sighed. \u201dThis man is older than dirt, no pun intended. Nothing hurt him but my blade. It is not so much him but the monsters he creates. Do know what fucked up heads where on mine!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean \u2018monsters he creates\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how he does it creates them, summons them, each monster is a team of three that work together as one sync\u2019ed unit. It takes the form and power of three of your enemies or people you hate. I only saw them twice. Once when it killed my mom and when Slit called one to each of my team and me. I got Everith, some other chick and NICK! No way I was going to fight him. I headed to Slit thought I had a better chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeb?\u00a0 What\u2019s that sound like to you?\u201d\u00a0 Nat appears to be listening.\u00a0 \u201cWould your POV counter that?\u201d\u00a0 Again he listens.\u00a0 \u201cOkay, well go on that assumption.\u00a0 And get out of here, don\u2019t you have some college boy to watch take a shower?\u201d\u00a0 Nat laughs.<\/p>\n
He turns to Jasmine.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, baby, but you haven\u2019t met all my team.\u00a0 Deb\u2019s a little shy \u2026 okay, a LOT shy,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cShe\u2019s been watching us this whole time, as usual.\u00a0 She\u2019s also probably the most powerful mentalist on the planet.\u201d\u00a0 Nat rolled his eyes.\u00a0 \u201cI said go peep on someone else, Deb.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandy smiled her lips more defined on the face of sand, \u201cShould I worry for how long? Please to meet you spy of the mind, one with air the almighty, Deb.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThing is, we have a lot of assets and we are better trained the anything I ever saw with the Wild Hunt \u2026 your previous teams?\u00a0 Were they created from the ground up with a decade or more of working together or was it a PUG team?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandy formed her sand board beneath her feet, a small and curl moving her back to the porch. \u201cFirst two were totally by invite to take care of local stuff, I have the rights of a federal Marshal. They wanted me to be the leader. No way I wanted to be the boss. Third one was a charm. But it was any where, any time. That is how I found out I am hunted by him. A few near miss on my life and we finally got the story.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd how did you find that out?\u00a0 You get him monologuing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cActually yes, the man could drone on and on and on. You always get me talking too much,\u201d she glanced at her watch. \u201dI really need to go. I love you Dad, See you in two years.\u201d She has her board bring them level as she kisses his cheek. \u201cI\u2019ve already said too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never said, your years or my years?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nat hugs her before she can go.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ever need help, get Ghost Archer here and I\u2019ll put 53 trained metahumans wherever or whenever you need them.\u00a0 I love you too, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sandy\u2019s eyes bubbled, \u201cIn your two years, I would like if you, and if you, want the pack, to come visit my Villa in Spain. I can get Spock to t-port you, make in May. I have things I need advice on, that only you can give. You never have to worry, I am not my mom. When I get in a spot, I send for the backup team. Peace.\u201d She turned her sand board and surfed into the sand.<\/p>\n
\u201cNick, you better watch over her or I\u2019ll accomplish what Sarge never could \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
