"Kidnapping. This is kidnapping. Right?"
"More like taken hostage."
"Is there a difference?"
Cassandra's plan was going to hell. It had been simple at first she needed to talk to the Legends. So she did as her father taught her. Use leverage. Then she had met Lily. Hostage. Not Lily. Her leverage. "Yes."
"Are you sure? You don't sound sure."
"Yes." She repeated. She hated this girl. Hated how she found her cute.
"I'm I even a hostage? You didn't tie me up. I could run."
"And go where? Do you even know what time you're in?"
"That is a good point. But if I had enough time I could figure something out."
Cassandra heard footsteps coming. "Looks like my plan worked. You'll be free to go soon."
Months Later
"You know this is the fifth time you have kidnapped me."
"Taken hostage."
Lily laughed. "You could just ask me out, you know?"
Cassandra sputtered. "What."
Lily's face heated up. "All the kidnappings. No threats. No tying me up. And you have taken me to very date like places."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Paris. Venice. The Taj Mahal. And you took me to meet the founder of nanotechnology." With no response Lily wondered if she had gone to far.
"Fine. Maybe." Cassandra walked to the control consul of her time ship.
Lily followed. "So where are we going on this date."
Cassandra smiled at her, the first real smile in a long time. "Where ever you want to go."
