Sorry for taking so long to post - my life is a permanate mess, that disagrees with my writing addiction.
A stylishly decorated apartment seemed an appropriate place for this kind of secret. Nice tones of blue, and orange, perfect colours. Minako breathed in deeply, preparing to begin. "Katarina… do you remember how I said that Sailor Venus showed up and took care of those men?" A nod was the symbol to continue. "Well… I am Sailor Venus. I am a re-incarnation of the Princess of Venus that lived during the Silver Millennium, a protector of the princess of the Moon and warrior against threats to our peace." Minako let it hang in the air. "I know it may difficult to believe, but it's true. I defeated a group in Japan called the Dark Agency. There are news reports of Sailor V and mysterious monsters all over Japan. That was me. I wore a mask to hide my identity, because the Dark Agency were a sub-sect of the Dark Kingdom. If they attacked full force, I couldn't have won by myself. I needed to wait until some of my comrades from the past awakened, too. Now that one has, I was sent here. Another sub-sect of the Dark Kingdom, the Dark Actors, are active in England, and they were those weird men from earlier. They're searching for a key to a seal that holds the Dark Destroyers and Dark Destiny, the two most powerful sub-sects, at bay. If I don't stop them, the world could be destroyed!" Minako spilled all the secrets to this random woman from the street she meant but a few minutes ago.
"Minako… you're wrong." A sideways glance, a quick look of puzzlement, and suddenly Katarina was responding in kind. "You said if "you" don't stop them… you're not alone." Minako gasped. She was right. Her comrades and her princess… how could she forget?
"You're right. My comrades should be awakening soon… Thanks for reminding me."
"No." Wait, what? That's not… what she meant? "Sure, your comrades will come around in time… but until then, you have me. I mightn't be a powerful princess from the past like you, but I'm a police officer, and it's my duty to uphold peace. More importantly, it's my duty to protect the residents of this world. And most importantly, to protect my friends. Like you." Minako gasped. So much like Natsuna. "I can speak 5 different languages, and have connections all over the world. I can help you, Minako. Let me, please." Minako was shocked. This woman… was laying her life on the line… to protect a random foreigner she met on the street, five maybe ten minutes ago? She had the will, and the strength of a true soldier. A soldier of Venus, one her legions from the past, as princess and warlord. Katarina was the right choice. Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes and she hugged the no-longer-a-stranger sitting across from her.
"Katarina… oneesama. Yes." The two words were all it took. Suddenly, each was crying in the other's arms. "Yes, yes, yes!"
