"When Fate Intervenes"
Chapter 3: Fate Brings You Closer to the One You Need
Genesis glided down and picked Tifa up. "Don't give up. You will be all right.," he whispered in her ear and casted cure 3 on her. Her breathing become more steady the more he casted it. "Genesis.," Tifa said weakly and cuddled closer to his chest. "We will go together.," Yazoo said in a weakened tone. "Together we will play.," Loz said their bodies returning to the life stream. "What happened to them?!," Yuffie asked shocked and withdrew her weapon. "The turks blew them up. Fire 3!," Cloud said in a deadly tone as the other two shm disappeared as if they were never there. The group fell silent and turned their attention back to Genesis whose face held exhaustion and slight panic. "Cure is not working well enough. We need to do something, but what can we do if cure doesn't work. Goddess please don't take the purpose you have given me away.," Genesis said rocking Tifa back and forth. "Genesis.," the Goddess said appearing before the group. "Goddess, I know you sent me to heal her and that she is my salvation. Please help her.," Genesis said a slight pleading in his voice.
"Very well. I shall heal her, but you must always keep her close to you. You are a hero now and heroes gain enemies. And with enemies comes their threats upon those you care about.," the Goddess replied and a gold light surrounded Tifa. The light went inside her body and she opened her eyes. "Hey beautiful.," Genesis said smiling at her. "Hi Genesis.," Tifa said smiling back blushing a bright red. "Thank you Go..,"Yuffie turned to say to the Goddess but she was gone. "Things are changing now. For better or worse, I am not sure. We can only hope it is for the better.," Vincent said and with a swoosh of his cape he left. "Yeah, let's go and celebrate. I am getting sick of being around here. Let's go to Tifa's bar and get a drink.," Cid said finally opening his mouth only to light a cigarette signaling he was through talking. "Yeah, but one problem Cid! I am not old enough!!," Yuffie screeched causing most of the group to cover their ears. "What that voice of your foo'! I don't wanna become deaf over a harpy being mad cause she can't drink with da big dawgs.," Barret said slapping Yuffie upside the head with his mechanical arm. "OW!," Yuffie yelled causing Genesis to get angry. "Goddess be damned this once for creating you!," Genesis exclaimed his face expressing his anger.
"Genesis, she is from Wutai. She doesn't know how to not be loud. You should meet her father. He is MUCH worse.," Cloud said shrugging his shoulders. "Thanks for the warning. Now she looks like a heavenly singing angel.," Genesis said in a sarcastic tone causing the others to start laughing excluding Yuffie. Tifa got up and dusted herself off giggling the whole time. "Let's get out of here. Denzel and Marlene are waiting for you Tifa.," Genesis said picking Tifa up and flying off. Cloud growled, got on his bike, and sped off. "Wait for us!!," Yuffie yelled jumping up and down. "Let's walk. My airship is too big to land in town.," Cid said putting out his cigarette and began walking towards Seventh Heaven. "Right behind ya foo'.," Barret said walking with Cid, Yuffie following them. "Maybe I should change the name of my bar. Seventh Heaven is a name full of bad memories and it's time to let go of those memories to repent for my sins.," Tifa said as Genesis landed. "TIFA!!," Denzel and Marlene yelled running to her. Marlene grabbed a hold of Tifa while Denzel hugged Genesis's knees. Genesis didn't know what to do exactly so, he slowly wrapped his arms around the boy. "Did you ask her? You know what I gave you permission for?," Denzel asked grinning and his mouth was instantly covered by the hand of a very red cheeked Genesis.
"Ask me what?," Tifa asked suspicious of the two. "He asked me if he could take you to dinner.," Denzel said grinning like the chesire cat and Genesis's face grew redder if that was possible. "I would love to go out to dinner with Genesis. It will be great 'cause I will get to know him better and he will get to know me.," Tifa said smiling sweetly and Genesis's lips twitched into a smirk. "You guys gonna go now? Everybody can serve themselves.," Marlene said smiling and let go of Tifa. "Yeah. Let's go Tifa.," Genesis said holding his arm out. "Okay.," Tifa replied hooking her arm with his and out the door they went. After a few minutes the others flooded in. "You have to serve yourselves. Tifa and Genesis went out on a date.," Denzel said smiling at the gang and he and Marlene ran upstairs to play. Cloud growled, walked out the door, and slammed it shut. "Ooo. Someone's jealous.," Yuffie said in a sing song like voice and tossed bottles to Barret and Cid. "He can't take her! She's all I have left!," Cloud yelled and began searching for Genesis and Tifa….
