Summary: Kevin's getting married, and everyone's happy... except for his stepsister Aidan. Why however, has gotten everyone confused - and mind-boggled. Rated T for language and some minor situations. Some spoilers from "Reflections in Broken Glass," so you may have to read it first.

------------------------------------------

"Terrific, just terrific," said Aidan sarcastically as she picked up a trussed up henchman into a fireman's carry. "This is your fault Tony."

"My fault? C'mon Ade, you're almost done. It'd taken forever if I had to tie up these creeps and carry them into the car myself," said Tony as he opened the door for Aidan. The two had been on an assignment near the Mexican border, and had just captured members of an international human smuggling ring. While she knew this was going to be a big bust to add to Tony's resume, not to mention help out others, she was frustrated that this was one of the worst times to have had the bust.

"Yeah, I can see how that would have been hard on you Tony since all three were out cold thanks to me," said Aidan shutting the door to the car. "And now I'm going to hear it from everyone when I'm late for that get together with…."

"Hey , wait a minute now," Tony started to protest, "you aren't the only one who is going to be catching hell for this since they wanted us both there, Besides, you can be late… it's fashionable to be late sometimes ya know."

"Yeah, just like that outfit is the new rage," said one of the smugglers sarcastically in the car. He still

couldn't believe that someone half his build could have caused so much trouble and pain for him - and in a silly set of longjohns and a cape. Little did he know however, that the outfit was an alien spacesuit with unearthly powers.

Tony turned leaning over too glare though the side window at the man "You keep out of this bub, unless you want to add disobeying an officer of the law in the process," said Tony.

"I have to admit he has a point… barely," Aidan smiled sarcastically, straightening the cape over her shoulders before leaning back against the car.

Tony rolled his eyes turning back to Aidan and ignoring the laughing men in the car "Cub, ya know that they knew you were going to San Diego for this scenario."

"Yes, some do… not everyone," she said, giving him a glare. "And you know what the everyone's going to say if I delay something he wants to announce…"

Tony shook his head, frustrated. "He won't say anything when he finds out you know…"

"Yeah that would will go over big." She stepped away from the car and started pacing "C'mon Tony, he avoided Ralph for several years because I fainted at his graduation and Ralph helped me…"

"That was then… before he knew about…"

Laughter from the smugglers, at what they were seeing, interrupted the two "How did we get beaten by a couple of knuckleheads like these guys," one of the men guffawed. "They argue more than my old ball-and-chain did."

Before Tony could retort, Aidan turned to the men and did it herself. "Listen, unless you'd like to take another 'nap,' I suggest you be good little arrested smugglers and shut up," she snapped. The man, noticing the anger in her eyes and clenched fist at her side, only nodded. All three arrested men sat in the then back of the car like the angels they weren't.

Aidan nodded in satisfaction before facing Tony "But, even though he knows, I don't want him to think that I won't be there for his stuff."

Tony continued. "OK, I get your point Aidan, it's my fault we're late. Listen, we're not going to get there any faster if we keep arguing, so get into the car."

Aidan looked at her watch again. "No… Tony, it'd be better if I fly," she said. Seeing him balk at her changing her mind, she continued. "It's going to take forever by car to get home and then everyone's going to be pissed if I in particular get there really late. Besides, I can fly Mach 1 now and should get home in about half hour, 45 minutes tops."

The agent looked at Aidan and realized she had a point. "OK Cub, get outta here, I can take it from here," he said. "Just send my regards to them and say that I was detained."

"Got it. Just be careful, and … in case there's a serious emergency between you taking these creeps to jail and getting home, you know how to get me."

As Tony nodded, the henchmen laughed again. "Yeah, he just needs to phone home the mother ship with a Speak 'N' Spell," he said, sneering.

"Not quite pal, but they do have a great set of neon lights," said Tony, remembering the first time he saw the ship.

The man laughed. "C'mon, this is ridiculous. Here she two managed to knock the three of us out - how I'm still not sure - and you're arguing with her about some event you're both missing. Now, she's saying she's got to fly and you're saying that there's such a thing as a…" He stopped when he saw Aidan take three steps and jump. The man's mouth dropped open when he saw that Aidan was flying - albeit wobbly.

Tony looked at the man and laughed. "So you were saying?"

"Uh, she can fly? How…"

"Well, I don't know how, but if I were you, I'd just say that I got knocked out by a federal agent and arrested for human smuggling instead of this to the others. Prison's bad enough without having to wear a funny suit of your own - only it's white and fastens in the back," said the agent, smirking.
