Jacob Stone, a man in his late 30's with battle weary eyes and a 5'clock shadow, a rugged, 5'9 former oil rig worker turned supernatural investigator as a member of a team known as the librarians- was in an unusual predicament.

It was not the fact that he was in an alternate dimension called Earth realm, or that he had been rescued from a he- dimension known as Out World. He knew of magic, of the supernatural, realms, nothing really caught him off guard- except the girl who stood before him, the girl who saved him.

"Kiss me the way would kiss your Cassie."

Cassie cage was not 'his Cassie'. The 5'10 (6'in her combat boots) 22 year old blonde had short hair that could be described as tomboy- or punk. She was sexier than anything he had ever seen. Her lips, her eyes, her body- not to mention she could kick some serious butt.

Her squad had been sent in on a intelligence mission- to get a better look at the living forest outpost fortress where the former soldiers of the former sorcer Quan Chi were residing.

Cassie suddenly saw a strange light; it was like a traditional realm portal, but brighter and higher. And then a body fell through, setting off the 'security'. Kabal, and Stryker (former Earth realm warriors, now undead slaves) riding their demonic steeds. Cassie knew she needed to investigate further.

"Jaqui- you see that?" she radioed to her friend and teammate.

"You going in after that body?" Jaqui already knew the answer, "I'll lead the rest of the mission and meet you back at base." They were all issued portal keys for situations like this; the group could separate and everyone had an automatic way to get home.

Cassie tracked down Kabal the Stryker. The body was alive, and running for its life. Unless he/she had a weapon they stood no chance. Cassie climbed a tree and jumped on to Stryker's ride, fighting him as the animal continued it's pace. She knocked him out then ran the animal in to a tree-one down 1 to go.

Kabal's animal had slammed the body (clearly a man) but the man fought back. He attempted to get the animal to lose it's bearings by running and changing directions at random, while also moving fallen logs.

After a few tries it finally worked. Kabal was thrown. The man was weak and injured, Kabal launched an attack with superhuman speed, slashing the man across the chest.

That was when Cassie caught up. As Kabal went for a 2nd hit Cassie jumped in front of the man, catching Kabal by the neck. She kicked him in the stomach, and then pistol whipped him in the head. The man was bleeding badly, the cut had torn through skin and muscle; in certain places she could see bone.

"Stay with me, I'm going to get us out of here." she said out loud as she placed his arms around her. He opened his eyes as Cassie held his body, resting his head against her shoulder. "My name is SSgt Cassandra Cage." She could feel him still breathing.

"Your name is Cassie?" he said coughing up blood.

"I guess it is," she said with a flirty smile, "Tell me your name stranger," she asked, looking into his dark blue eyes.

"Jacob..St..." he was losing consciousness but before he did, he got to witness her opening a portal with just a flick of her fingers. This Cassie was bada$$

Cassandra Cillian, his Cassie was none of those things. She was a 5'5" thin girl with long red hair who looked much younger than her 28 years. She had the most amazing mathematically scientific mind, allowing her to see the world in ways no one else could. She was innocent, pure, with a amazing spirit and also dying of an inoperable brain tumor.

He awoke in a hospital. His chest was bandaged and Cassie Cage was drinking a soda while texting on her phone.

"You clean up nice." she said when she noticed he was looking at her. She looked the same as when he first saw her, still special forces dark blue, tight combat uniform that hugged her curves, splattered with blood.

"Why did you call me Cassie?" she asked. Not 'where did you come from?' or even 'who are you?'

He told her about his team, what they did, and their current mission, the last thing he remembered before falling through the portal. And of course about his Cassie.

He talked about how he valued her as a teammate despite the fact she once betrayed the team, almost getting their mentor killed. But otherwise she was beautiful in a way that words could not describe. She saved their mentor, even if it meant she would be destined to leave this world before her time. In addition to her intelligence she could see reality in lights and colors; linking herself in to the source code of the universe. Sometimes the sensations would overwhelm her but he would be there to catch her in his strong comforting arms. But when he was in her 'mode', her eyes filled with happiness and light, her smile-she was angelic.

As he spoke he noticed Cassie Cage touching his body. She traced her long elegant fingers along his collarbone, down his chest (as if examining his scar), down his abs. He still had pants on but she was exploring along the lines of his hip muscles; she wanted him.

"darlin, ...I can't" he said with a laugh. Any man would jump at the chance to hook up with this Cassie.

"ok, how about this-what you want her to do to you?" Cassie climbed in to bed with him, straddling him between her long legs.

"Would you want her to be sweet, she stroked his cheek, softly kissed his forehead, down his nose to his lips.

He closed his eyes, giving in to her soft and sensual touch.

"Do you like that?" she wouldn't be waiting for an actual answer, "or maybe you want her to be wild, you want her to crave you." Cassie kissed him deep, passionately, nearly sucking the air out of moved his hands to her back, to unzip her. With his eyes still closed, the idea of his Cassie wanting him, dominating him, it was kind of a turn on. He felt his body 'reacting'. But then he stopped himself. He opened his eyes, moved his hand to her waist.

"...I can't" his voice was board-line emotional.

"Because you love her," Cassie go off of him, kissed his forehead. 'That is so cute!' she said in her head. "Oh well, it was worth a shot" she said out loud.

"My team will do everything we can to get you back to your world and your Cassie. When you feel up to it, you can find us in building C25. Nice to meet you Jake."
