If there is any confusion, or if any of you have questions, feel free to ask. If it doesn't give away future happenings, I will answer :)

Chapter 42
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wilford. Ye know that we can't give ye that information." Cormac said to the man sitting at his desk.
"Garda Brennan, this is a very serious situation. Miss Maddox is a serious potential threat to the integrity of the Unites States Government."
"Then ye should have no problem waitin' fer the proper paperwork. I'm sorry, Mr. Wilford. I canna' help you."
"Fine, fine. Can you at least tell me of any extra-terrestrial sightings? You've heard, of course, that the alien floating above San Francisco disappeared a few days ago?"
"We had not heard, no." Cormac said, delighting in the fact that the man before him seemed panicked at giving away what could have been a matter of National Security. "If we hear anythin', we'll be sure ta let ye know."
Michael nodded and stood. Extending his hand, he shook with the Garda. "Well, thank you for your time, Garda Brennan. I guess I'll see you when I have the warrant from my superiors." With that, he left the man's office, a noticable slouch of disappointment in his shoulders.
Just as he was making his way to the door, a voice stopped him. "Psst!"
"Hm?" Michael said, rounding the corner to find a large man standing in the empty hallway. "Can I help you?"
"Seattle Detective Michael Wilford, right?" The man said.
"...Yes?"
"My name is Colin Doyle. I think I can help you, if you can promise to get those people out of Ireland, and back where they belong."
"Gimme what you got, and I'll do my best." Michael said, intrigued that this man was also willing to ignore International laws to catch these strange criminals.
The man handed him a folded piece of paper, looking around to ensure no one saw him. "That's the address. The redhead is Sassafrass Flint, the brunette is Lilith Maddox. When we received word from your government, we were told that Maddox is the most dangerous of the bunch. I've had a watch set up, but the only thing we've seen are a few flashes of bright blue light every now and again. Now I've given you what I can, you hold up yer part and get them out of Ireland!"
With that, the stout man left Michael standing in the dimly lit hallway wondering at his good luck. Now all he had to do was get inside and get to Flint before anyone else knew he was there.

"Duck!" Sassi shouted to Harmony as Kadaj swung his sword in her direction. "Left! No! My left! Ack!"
Harmony hit the ground with a loud groan, sitting up and sending a glare Sassi's way.
"Do me a favor and stop doing me favors!" She growled. She slapped Kadaj's hand away when he reached down to help her up.
"You're getting better." He commented.
"You're still holding back." She snapped.
"Yeah, but not as much as I used to. I have to work a lot harder for my win." He smirked at her, a devilishly handsome expression.
Harmony huffed. "But you still win." She turned to look at him, sighting his smirk and feeling her insides melt. How could she be angry at a face like that? She sighed. "I need a shower." She spotted Loz sitting next to Sassi, waiting for his turn to fight the redhead. "All yours." Harmony motioned behind her.
Kadaj hurried to catch up to Harmony. Hey, wait. Can I talk to you?" He loathed the way his insides seemed to shake as he prepared himself for the conversation to come.
"Can I shower first? Please?" Harmony pleaded, exasperated.
"Yeah. But make it quick." He said.
"Kadaj, I'll shower for as long as I feel like it, and I'll walk as slow as I-HEY! No! Putmedownputmedownputmedooooooooown!" She screamed as Kadaj lifted her up and- much like he did the first time they met- slung her over his shoulder, taking off at a dead run for the manor.
He didn't even slow down when they reached the overhang to their balcony, instead giving a great leap and landing right outside their glass doors.
"You. Jerk. Face." Harmony moaned. "I think I'm going to be sick."
"Hey, as long as I don't end up like Valentine-"
"What? How the hell do you know about that?" Harmony hissed.
"Loz told us. That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. But I promised, so go take your shower first. Just hurry."
Harmony pouted, sticking her tongue out at the youngest Remnant and shoving past him.
"Promises, promises!" Kadaj teased after her.
"Bite me!" Harmony sassed, hurrying to close the bathroom door before the Remnant could get to her.
She wasn't quick enough.
"Don't offer if you aren't willing to go through with it!" His dark voice purred from behind her. With that, he brushed her hair off to the side, gripped her shoulders to hold her steady, and dug his teeth into the side of her neck with just enough force to bruise.
"Ow...oh!" Harmony said, not sure if she was livid... or aroused. "Get out!"
Kadaj chuckled and opened the door, leaving Harmony to her shower.
When the door closed behind him, he walked to the bed and lay down, propping himself up against the head board. He had planned to talk to Harmony about leaving with them, planned to convince her to go not because of Sassi, but because of him. Though he could understand and agree with Yazoo's opinion on the matter, he still did not feel like he could say the words to Harmony. Not yet.
It was barely fifteen minutes later when Harmony emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped securely around her torso. He spared him a tired glance and went to the bureau, retrieving a pair of flannel pants and a loose, long sleeved shirt.
"What did you want to talk about?" She said, sitting next to him on the bed after dressing.
"I want you to come with me, to Gaia." He blurted. Damnit! That was not the way he wanted it to go!
"Kadaj, I already told you. Where Sassi goes, I go. And now that she's pregnant, once she finds out, she'll want to go with Loz. So you're getting what you want. I am going." Harmony said.
"No. Not like that. I want you to go with me. Like we are now. Together."
"And what are we, Kadaj?" Harmony snapped. "A couple? Lovers? What? I know that I love you, and you know it, too, but what does that even mean to you?"
"Everything! It means everything to me!" He shouted, sitting up and grasping her arms. "I've never had anyone who really cared about me1 Not since Kiku! I never wanted anyone else to care about me! And then you came along with your silly idea of honor, and your crazy power, accepting us even when you knew that we would most likely kill you the first chance we got! I didn't want to care about you! But now, I-"
He stopped when he saw the shocked face of Harmony staring back at him, and thought back, running his words through his mind again and again, unable to believe how close he had come to saying...it...
"You care about me?" Harmony said softly.
Kadaj cursed, sitting back and running a hand through his hair. "Yeah. I do. A lot."
Harmony snorted. "Well, don't sound so excited about it! Kidding! Kidding." She said defensively when Kadaj gave her a dry look. She pulled herself completely onto the bed and curled up against his side.
"I get it, Kadaj, I really do. But you know that-"
"Just stop. If you're going to talk about timelines, and alternate dimensions, and weird magic, just stop. Did you ever think that if we were sent here to do what it is you and Sassi think we were sent to do, that the Lifestream would have compensated for that fact and prepared itself? I, personally, have seen the power of the Lifestream! I know what it is capable of. I know you plan on coming, now that you know that Sassi is, too... but I want you to come for me."
"Kadaj..." Harmony said, lifting her head to look into his eyes. He didn't have to say it. It was there, plain as day. "Okay. I'll come with you."
Kadaj smiled and kissed her forehead, "Thank you."
Harmony nodded and the two were still for a few moments.
"I have to make lunch. Its my turn." Harmony said, standing from the bed and walking backwards to the door. "Come down in an hour or so and it'll be ready." She rushed out, closing the door before Kadaj could reply.
Even though she saw the spark in his eyes, there was still doubt. Did he really love or, or did he only think he did?
!#$%^&*()
'Yes... I've done it!' Hojo thought as he read the address on the page. Michael and Colson were sleeping soundly in the next room, having been slipped a little... help... by the Mad Scientist. 'Do you see this, Jenova my love? Do you see where they are? Come to me... Come to me and I will be your vessel... just as it has always been...'
!#$%^&*()
"My my my, what a pretty little specimen you are..." The horrid voice echoed through Sassi's ears. "You just might be my finest creation yet!"
'Where am I?' She thought, struggling to open her eyes.
"Ah ah ah ah! Not yet, my dear! Just you wait! All of my work, my knowlege, will be presented to the world in the form on one beautiful, ultimate weapon. You will be... unstoppable!"
Sassi forced her eyes open, but stared in confusion when she realized that there was no one in the room speaking to her. She wasn't even in a room, at all...
Frigid cold was what surrounded her- frigid cold and pitch black darkness. As she stared out into the blackness ahead of her, a light came into view. She watched the light grow bigger and bigger until she realized that what she was looking at was the Earth, more specifically, Ireland. She felt a great power begin shaking her as she came closer and closer to the planet, it becoming very clear that she would land in very short time...
"Sassi! Sassi please, wake up!" Sassi awoke to someone shaking her, Harmony, if her ears were correct.
"What? I was having the weirdest dream!"
"Get up, Sassi! Please!" At registering the panic in Harmony's voice, Sassi's eyes shot open.
"What? What's wrong?"
"We have a big problem! Somehow, Jenova broke through my barrier! She heading straight for us! I can't stop her myself again, Sassi! It would kill me! I need your help!"
Sassi was out of bed and half dressed when she heard the name 'Jenova'. "What do we do?"
"Well, I think if you, Aerith, an I say the same spell I did before," She handed Sassi a hastily and barely legible note, "then we can freeze her again. Just until the coven gets here. Come one, we have to move! Loz and Yazoo have Kadaj locked in our room, Jenova's trying to take him again!"
Sassi had never, ever, in the entire time she had known Harmony, heard her sound so desperate.
"Its okay. Its going to be alright. Come on, lets do this. I hope it works."
A scream of rage and a stream of curses was heard from Harmony's bedroom, followed by the sound of glass shattering against the wall.
'So do I...' Harmony sobbed internally. She sniffled once more, a determined look overcoming her features. 'You Goddamned monster. I will not let you have him! You'll have to fucking kill me first, you outer-space BITCH!'
