Finally after much time I've been able to begin with the 3rd story on my Star Wars AU series. I'm very sorry for the delay I know I said I would post this in October but I haven't been able to work on it until now. I hope you like it. Follow Fav and Review if you like it.

As Always I do not own Star Wars, Lucas Arts (Disney) does

Dr. Lorianne paced around at the waiting room of Lady Alexa's palace as she waited to be received by the Supreme Leader of the Dominions and Great Master of the Sith since a few months. It had been somewhere around eight months since the battle of Mandalore and the situation could only be described as favorable for the Dominion, at least when the war against the Republic was concerned, there number of military victories greatly outweighted that of defeats. There were even rumors that despite having several planets still under it's control the Republic was considering pulling all it's forces back from the Outer Rim towards the Middle Rim, where the fighting had intensified, to protect the Middle and Inner Rims as well as the Core worlds from the threat of the Dominion. Of course no decision had been made by the Republic yet since Kamino was beyond the outer rim and such a decision would imply the lost of their main source of manpower.

Yet Lady Alexa wasn't acting like the situation was that, at all. The Sith Lady was always on edge, always pushing her subordinates further as if their efforts weren't enough like they were on the verge of defear instead of victory. She guessed that was because of Dr. Saxtrum's betrayal, right on the day when the Dominion was founded although she suspected there were more things, things she didn't know about. She'd only learnt of that because she wanted to know how much Dr. Saxtrum knew of Palpatine's plans which were now Alexa's, she'd told her the truth, except for the Scientists working on joint projects the Scientists Palpatine had hired knew nothing to very little of their colleagues work, except they were working on something too. Alexa had accepted that explanation but she still seemed worried about something.

"Doctor?" A silver protocol droid whose name she had forgotten entered the room and pulled the twi'lek out of her thoughts. The Twi'lek looked at it, it wasn't alone, two members of Alexa's personal guard stood beside it wearing the distinct Sith royal guard trooper's Red armor. "Lady Alexa will receive you know."

Lorianne nodded and followed the droids as the guards walked a few steps behind her down the hall to towards the throne room. Lady Alexa's Castle on Raxus Secundus, the Capital of the Confederacy existed before the formation of the dominion but had been reformed during the months following the creation of the New State and was now a Royal Palace for the Supreme leader of the Dominion with nothing to envy the Galaxy's finest palaces

When they entered the room Lady Alexa observed her with a serious expression the betrayed no emotion, which was the face she always shown since the creation of the Dominion and one that unnerved Lorianne slightly, as she sat on her throne surrounded by several of the Red Armored personal guards. Before the droid could speak the Sith Lady dismissed it, and it turned right around and exited the room. Doctor Lorianne approached the throne and knelt a few steps before reaching the Sith Lady.

"You called for me milady?" Lorianne asked.

"I did Doctor." The Sith Lady replied. "I am sorry to take you out of the laboratory."

"Don't worry the project is going good. The Second group of Dark Force Soldiers are almost ready for action and my helpers are most capable of continuing with the program even without my presence." Lorianne replied humbly. "At least for a while."

"I see. I'm glad to see that the Dark Force Soldier project is going well." Lady Alexa said with a light smile. "What about the Side project?"

"You mean the one concerning Teressa Jade?" Lorianne asked. Alexa narrowed her eyes at this.

"Do you have any side projects aside from that one?" The Sith Lady inquired irritated by the Scientist's unnecessary question.

"No milady." Lorianne immediately replied. "It's going well. She gave birth to a healthy baby daughter a week ago. A baby that according to our measurement instruments is quite strong with the Force."

"I see." Alexa said with a pleasant smile. "I suspected as much, I felt a new being surface in the Force, one that's quite strong in it, a hard to ignore presence."

"As expected from you Lady Alexa." Lorianne said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere" Alexa replied dropping her pleasant smile and glaring at the scientist. Lorianne shivered in fear little and bowed her head even more.

"I'm sorry milady" The doctor apologized. "In any case I could have told you all of this over the holocomm system I don't see why you've called me in here." She added.

"Of course it would have, I haven't called you here to waste both our times." The Sith Lady said. "And how is Teressa? I can still feel her in the Force, her presence is weak but still."

Lorianne looked at the Sith Lady without understanding but refrained from making any comments especially since she thought the Dark Lady wouldn't like what she had to say. "I'm sorry to inform you, but the subject Teressa Jade is in perfect health and not as broken as we would have desired, or a woman that has suffered what she has should. When we took her out of her cell and far from the Force Nullifiers for the childbirth she did two of our guards in with her Force power and killed two of my assistants as well, right after birth when she was supposed to be recuperating and tried to flee the premises. Luckily her body couldn't keep up with her and we were able to place her back on her cell."

The Sith Lady listened to this story and, much to her surprise, smiled. It was like instead of reporting the troubles Teressa Jade had given them she had reported her continued suffering or something.

"So she still has her fighting spirit back. Even after Sius' punishment huh?" Alexa talked more to herself than to the scientist. "Or perhaps she got it back."

"Milady?" Lorianne asked even more confused than before. "Is something the matter?"

"I want you to take her out of her cell." Alexa ordered.

"I'm sorry what?" The Doctor said as she heard the illogical proposal, not understanding Lady Alexa's intentions. Alexa sighed in exasperation.

"I still have more uses for her than just creating Strong Force Sensitive Babies" Alexa said. "I want to use her as an operative on the field again"

"I do not think she would be willing to cooperate with us Milady." Lorianne replied "Not after we've been putting her through these past months." Alexa probed with the Force as she reached for Teressa's presence and smiled evilly.

"On the contrary I believe she would be more than willing to cooperate with us. Eager I dare say." Alexa assured the Scientist. "By the way I'm glad you said your Assistants could continue on with the work on the Dark Soldier Experiment without you as well because you will be away for some time until the mission i have for Teressa is over at least."

"Where will I be milady?" Lorianne asked, fear evident on her voice.

"Coruscant" Alexa said as she proceeded to explain her plan to the Doctor.

The speeder flew fast through the Coruscanti traffic as the Sun set over the Galactic Republic's capital. A woman of Red Hair emerald green eyes dressed in the robes of High Society corucanty lady flew as fast as she could. Besides her, two babies carefully placed on the copilot's seat cried one of them even reaching for her, the woman had tears in her eyes as well but instead of looking at the babies she looked right up ahead concentrating on driving.

"Just a bit longer" the woman thought to herself. "Just a bit longer and my children will be safe." And so she continued driving as she watched the towers of the Jedi temple her destination which was still a little further away. However a few seconds after she thought that a blaster bolt impacted on her Speeder and the machine began losing altitude. Looking back she saw as some speeders and some droids were pursuing her.

She would have counted them but she had to concentrate on not crashing her speeder. Looking at the babies one last time she concentrated on the emergency landing.

Teressa Jade woke up on the bunk of her cell in Doctor Lorianne's laboratory panting heavily after awaking from her sleep. She just had a very strange dream, a dream which for some reasons caused a great uneasiness. "What the hell was that?" She asked herself as she tried to concentrate and relax a little. She thought briefly of trying to connect with the Force but stopped herself, with the Force Nullifiers active there was no way she would have been able to keep a strong connection although there was one unlike before she gave birth to her daughter.

A pang of sadness came to her as she thought of her daughter, her little Mara, a daughter, she had sworn to herself she would hate, whose origins were the most despicable she could think of. And yet the first and only time she held the baby something had changed, the hate she was going to feel turned to a much warmer and comfortable feeling. The feeling of motherly love replaced those feelings. Shaking her head she put those thoughts on the back of her mind although she had to recognize it had calmed her uneasiness after the dream.

The door to her cell opened and several silver armored troopers entered the room with some combat droids as support. She immediately glared at the female twi'lek that entered the room who didn't do much but just look at her back.

"What do you want?" Teressa asked hatred embedded in every word she spoke.

"I want to check on you" the twi'lek doctor said with a fake smile with a very small hint of fear. "It's been a week since you gave birth and you are looking strong."

"So you are playing medical doctor now?" Teressa asked as she didn't drop the glare or the tone.

"Well to tell you the truth I don't care if you live or die although I must say I wouldn't mind if you and Lord Sius gave me another subject of study. I'm sure you are not very willing to do so but he wouldn't dislike the idea." Teressa suppressed the idea of dealing with the doctor right there at that very moment. Even if she'd been trained by her master on bare hand to hand combat and martial arts it wouldn't be a good idea, she would end up dead. Barely over a week ago she wouldn't have minded the idea of death. Now she wasn't so sure she would like to meet her end so soon. "However that's not why I'm here."

"Then why are you here?" Teressa asked.

"It seems that Lady Alexa is willing to give you another opportunity to serve her. She may even consider you retaking your duties as a Sith Assassin permanently if you accomplish a job she has thought for you."

"Why would I be willing to retake my duties as a Sith Assassin for her?" Teressa asked. "She is nothing but a traitor to our Master what guarantees does she give me that she won't betray me."

"How do you…" Lorianne began

"Know what happen to my Master?" Teressa finished for her. "Apprentice and Master always share a powerful connection, this is true in the Jedi and the Sith alike. When you pulled me out to have me give birth to my daughter I probed the Force in Search of him. Plus Sius really likes to talk after he's had his way with me."

"I see" Lorianne replied in understanding. "Well, she thought you might be reluctant at first. Wanted me to tell you that if you refused it would your daughter the one who would pay the Price."

"If she does something to Mara I swear I…" Teressa began.

"You named your daughter?" Lorianne was the one to interrupt her this time with a smirk. "It seems she was right after all." Teressa kicked herself mentally for showing such weakness. "Well as you may already know Mara's destiny is to become another pawn for Lady Alexa, however aside from the training she may put her through she wanted me to tell you that it will be up to you if she also becomes my Little Lab rat. After all she could be very important for the Dark Force Soldier Project."

Teressa growled, she was indeed trapped. If she refused her situation would not change and Mara would be in danger if she accepted she would be forced to obey Alexa but her daughter would be safe and she would have more freedom and time to think how to escape that situation with her daughter.

"What's the mission?" She finally asked the Scientist.

"The Jedi are in possession of Lord Sidious's Holocron. They are studying it and unveiling it's secrets." Lorianne replied. "We do not know how much they have learnt but we are to steal the holocron and delete any information they might have gotten from it." Teressa smirked.

"That's a rather delicate mission. Why doesn't Alexa use one of her other, more loyal minions?" She asked.

"They are otherwise occupied in the campaign against the Republic" Lorianne said. "Plus they are far more valuable assets than you."

"I see." Teressa spoke finishing her questions.

"Come with us" Lorianne asked as the silver armored Sith troopers surrounded the assassin. "You'll need time to regain your strength and your connection to the Force. We'll be departing for Coruscant tomorrow." She added as she lead Teressa back to freedom.
