IDIC- A New World Order
Part One Wolf in Sheep's clothing PG
Garak looked over at his adopted mother and his sister-in-law. He looked at Sarek chi Skon from the house of Surak his kinsmen by marriage and oddly enough his friend. He would not admit it to Sarek but he trusted him more then any other being besides his wife. He sighed as he considered how his world had changed in these last months. When he had first accepted the assignment to come to Earth and keep a watchful eye on the humans and their Federation he had believed it would be a boring routine assignment.
He never thought it would be more then a building block in his career. A stepping-stone to building his own house and eventually a family. Well he had a house now and he had a family. He had found his bond-mate Adrianna and a son who while human was a fine young male. He looked at Jamie and smiled as he went to her and hugged her. Partly because he knew, she expected it and partly because he knew, it would drive Sarek crazy.
"Mother it is agreeable to see you once more and you as well sister." He bowed formally to Heather who laughed at him.
"You know Garak I am surprised Adrianna has not shot you yet with your outrageous behaviors."
"I am not outrageous, simply adventurous."
Sarek shook his head clearly amused though refusing to show it. "Please come we have much to discuss. Amanda will be here shortly and I would prefer not to worry her."
Heather looked at Sarek sharply and sighed. He was so damned protective so certain Amanda needed to be guarded. She wondered what he would say if he knew Amanda already knew of this meeting and was in fact watching it though her eyes?
Do not tell them. Heather he needs to guard me. It would be upsetting for both he and Garak to realize how skilled Adrianna and I truly are.
This is your clan as well as mine. Amanda it is your right to be here this is your life.
Amanda lay down, stroked Cerberus, and sent back. He will tell me in time. What good would it do to worry him? Besides, I think both he and Garak will listen far more easily to you and Jamie then us.
Adrianna grinned as she rolled over. Amanda is right. Besides, I need a nap.
Heather rolled her eyes knowing her sister would be listening.
Let the men think they are in charge. Jamie agreed. Males need that illusion or it damages their ego's it hardly matters the species it is all the same.
Heather almost burst out laughing at this but composed her features. Well this is fun. I cannot believe how….
Pay attention or Sarek may figure it out Amanda chastised.
"We could use your assistance ladies in finding a way to neutralize the political storm that is threatening us." Garak explained. "We have no desire to cause damage or influence this planet."
Ah, huh tell me an other one husband. Adrianna thought
He is trying Adrianna give him some credit. Jamie sent back. Besides as my son he has the right.
"I know …. Nevertheless, sometimes…
You worry because you know who and what he is and how far he would go to secure his legacy and his people. Heather thought. Garak may be A Tal Shair agent but he is your mate and he loves you.
My son may still be Romulan, but he is more and more my son. In time, he will see this and he will be for our people 200 percent. However even if this action does benefit his home world it will also be if a great benefit our nations. It is past time we dealt with this political issue. I am more then tired of the games they play.
I know mother….I trust him and love him.
Then it will be well. Jamie said To Sarek and Garak. "We must deal with this threat to our people."
Garak smiled and nodded. "We want to remove them from office…" He paused. "legally in an election…."
Jamie chuckled at the cringed look Garak gave. Clearly he would have preferred a more final method. She agreed but….the needs must… A new World order needed peaceful leaders.
Garak caught that thought and bowed wondering once more how he or any of his people thought humans were the less dangerous species?
Part Two (Civilized is only a cover) PG-13
"We only appear civilized my son. Remember that we are a warrior race. Those that forget this fact ate often shocked and stunned. Did not Adrianna already show you this?"
Garak had the grace to blush as he looked at Sarek. For once he envied his
Distant cousins control though it was clear he to had forgotten the incident.
"Amanda is not a violent person." Sarek said.
Heather raised a brow at this and shook her head. "Sarek all beings are capable of losing control and being violent. Amanda is working hard not to as she strives to follow your lead. However, it would be unwise for you to forget who she is. She is not a born pacifist she is a warrior at heart. She wages the peace now but…should you ever be in danger she will be a leymath in her protection of you." Heather looked at Garak and considered her next words with care. "Adrianna loves and trusts you Garak but she to is a warrior at heart. Perhaps less so then Amanda as she has a healers soul but …she can and will defend herself and her people. You have a seen her falter but it was only because Kilman attacked her in so public a place. Even then her insitict was to protect all of us. If however she had truly been afraid for Rordan's safety she would have killed him. Make no mistake we are all human and all very dangerous. We seek peace but…do not ever think we are not as dangerous as your own kind."
Garak looked at her uncertain he could believe it. He glanced over at Sarek who clearly never considered hi wife to be violent. Then again Amanda was not overly large and she was as humans said cute.
"Amanda is not violent." Sarek replied he clearly did not agree.
Jamie sighed. "Sarek Amanda comes form a race breed to war. That is not even our part of the heritage. The Augments were warriors Sarek conquers and they were ruthless beyond measure. Then add in the normal human desire to be the top dog and your own Vulcan Genes what do you get? A warrior."
"Vulcan Genes?" Sarek asked clearly not understanding.
Jamie froze and realized what she had just revealed.
Jamie did you have to tell him? Amanda asked.
I did not intend to.
"What do you mean Vulcan Genes?" Sarek asked he looked at Garak who was stunned to silence.
How did that happen? Garak thought. Have the Vulcans been on Earth longer then we knew? He noted the confusion on Sarek's face so this was new to him as well.
Amanda you had better get in here. Sarek looks ready to…
Sarek was stunned and he looked shocked. However his quick mind rapidly did some calculations as to how this could have happened.
Heather spoke up attempting to change the subject back. "Amanda and Adrianna are skilled they do not need to be treated like children or fragile flowers."
Both Sarek and Garak glared at her clearly not letting the subject change happen.
Amanda sighed and went in. She shocked Sarek as she joined him.
"You know it would be better to include me. I am no fragile flower."
Sarek looked at her and flushed. He had been blocking the bond but she knew what had been happening anyway. He looked at Heather who shrugged.
"I am at least Part Vulcan. I do not know how it happened or why. I have an idea of the when and who…but it is hard to be certain."
"Tell me what you suspect." Sarek demanded.
"I told you that you were my mate from the stars and that you were not the first remember."
Sarek nodded slowly he had not really considered what that meant at the time. He had been to busy trying to accept his mate was his perfect match on a physic level.
"Jamie and I traced it back. It seems I am 1/8th or so Vulcan."
Garak was stunned he looked at Sarek who now leaned back against his desk for support. "Who?"
"Mestral Grayson." Amanda said "My grandfather was Samuel Grayson the eldest of his twin sons. His other son Seth was the founder of Jamie's people. He also had a daughter named T'Lia"
"Mestral is an old Vulcan name. From Clan Inya." Garak said stunned.
"Yes, it is." he looked at Garak who covered his face and groaned it was worse then he thought. "Damn it." It will be a simple assignment boring really his commander had said Just keep an eye on the humans and the Federation. After all Vulcan will not tolerate their illogic for long. We just need to know when the alliance breaks. Yeh like that will happen now. Damn it. Garak thought. Adrianna…she is part Vulcan too!
"Indeed. " Sarek said He knew what Garak was thinking a marriage alliance was bad enough but a blood alliance with marriage. Damn it the ties just got tighter with each new revelation. "Our child?"
"Will be more Vulcan then human. This should please you my husband."
Sarek touched her face. "It is our child It matters little to who he favors."
Amanda leaned on him. "He is Vulcan and he is logical heaven help me."
Sarek allowed a small smile to form as no one could see it. "He is?"
"Yes, he is sleeping so not to disturb me now."
Sarek grinned. "A respectful child. That pleases me. Amanda any additional surprises?"
"I did tell you Sarek…It is not my fault you did not question it." Amanda said defensively.
Garak began to laugh having to agree with that point. He looked away as Sarek glared at him.
"Agreed but ,neither did you explain."
"That is all I think." Amanda said.
"Alright, so how then can we use this to solve the problem we currently face?" Garak asked.
"Because there is a history of disagreement between our peoples." Jamie said "Mestral himself often was in conflict with local authorities at first. That is until he made some interesting friends."
"Jamie no…You can not tell them that!" Amanda said "Poor Garak will have a heart attack."
Garak looked at her crossed his arms and said "Tell ME!!!"
Heather chuckled as she noted Adrianna slipped in and went to his side. Her sister wrapped her arms around her mate who stiffened. "That bad is it?"
Amanda had the grace to blush. "Yes…I mean not really."
Jamie began to chuckle. "Not really? Given who his step son was?"
Amanda blushed. "Well…maybe…"
"Who?" Sarek demanded.
"Zephraim-----"
"What!" Sarek shouted he placed Amanda directly in front of him. "Cochrane?"
"Yes….he was."
"Damn it…then Mestral gave them…" Sarek lost his cool. Garak would have been amused but he never seen an angry Vulcan before.
"No he did not. He just helped check his son's equations."
"He just checked the equations…for a warp drive on the first human warp capable ship!!!"
The import of this hit Garak who legs threatened to buckle. He sat down and looked at his family. Oh this was not good at all…
"Sarek Zephraim was his son. What would you have done."
Sarek stopped pacing and dropped his head. "I would have done the same but, this means….he broke the rules."
Garak began to laugh. "I wish I could have meet him. Sounds like an interesting Vulcan."
Sarek glared at Garak.
"Hardly, But it does explain a lot." Sarek said sitting down himself. He pulled Amanda close. "So he aggravated the city too. It figures he would not like authority figures." Sarek shook his head as he considered this new information. The worst was he could not share it. He looked over at Garak who nodded. This would go not further then this room. So Vulcan had been influencing Earth for years only they did not know it. He considered the importance of Amanda and her family and sighed. Of course Mestral would set his family up to be secure and connected. He glanced at Garak who seemed to have figured the same out.
Looks like this Mestral would have made a great Romulan. But , If I say that Sarek will shoot me pacifist or not. He smiled beginning to enjoy this meeting. So baby we are related after all. I am well pleased with this. It gives me more reason to protect you and Earth. One even the Emperor could not fault.
"Why?" Adrianna asked.
Garak smiled. "My house broke from house Inya. So, you are family too."
This news stunned Sarek but he shook his head and sighed. "So we are family by blood as well?"
"Yes…This would be funny if it was not so serious." Garak said. "It is almost as if someone planed this."
We did. Lucian thought smiling. If you only knew how hard it was to get the people in the right place and time…..The preserver smiled as his charges were momentarily silent gathering their thought to the implications of this new information. Yes blood ties were quite useful Lucian thought.
TBC…
