Blaze: Okay so like I said, don't read too much into Chapter 4, it's a hastily made revise and will be changed when I can. This however is as planned. Also in case I start getting too smutty for FF.N's rules and they remove this story I will also be placing it on under the penname Salariel.

Rhiannon: Stutter at the Dragon, girl I've been rehearsing that for nearly a decade. And I just killed someone, adrenaline does not inspire stuttering. And Give back my brother! *Pulls a broadsword off the wall**

Logan: Baby, come on, leave the fan girl alone. It's a joke, she really doesn't have your brother.

Note: **….** before a section is a POV Change and will have a place or person/people in it to let you know it's a scene change from now on.

Chapter 5

"First I say welcome to my humble abode." Seryn looked up at the King, then around his bedroom which was as immaculate as he had left it.

"You were always humble." The King pulled him into his arms, "Now you are free."

"Yes I am." Seryn tilted his head up as his beloved kissed up his neck.

"I've missed you."

"And I you"

The lithe red head allowed the larger male to hold him, kissing every inch of his neck and shoulder, basking in the moment he'd yearned for over the last several decades. All that time he'd spent as Paragus' brood mare, watching his beloved marry a woman he couldn't stand. Seryn let the tears well up, ready to burst as everything that had just happened came completely full circle. "What is wrong Seryn?" K. Vegeta looked concerned, wiping away his tears.

"Nothing, everything is perfect." Seryn smiled, "It's just finally settling in is all, you are here, he is dead. Our children are safe from all our enemies, our godchildren are happily mated off and you have grandchildren who will no doubt be dying to meet their grandfather." The red head laughed, "Nothing could be more perfect."

"I can think of one thing that could make it so." K. Vegeta looked toward the bed.

" And have my brothers catch us, do you remember how well that went last time?" Seryn laughed as the king remembered.

~ "We'll get caught." Seryn protested, "Vegeta, what if someone catches us?"

"Since when do you worry so?" his beloved led through the field.

"We're gonna get in trouble, we left the guard, papa's gonna be so mad. What if Aidan or one of the other guards finds us." Seryn looked back.

"You're really afraid they're going to find us all the way out here." The prince stopped and turned around.

"My brother is a master tracker, second only to my father, if he hasn't realized we're missing by now, he will soon."

"Then I guess we better hurry." Vegeta kissed him.

The couple found an abandoned barracks, still in good condition but a good ways from the palace. Seryn followed his love inside, to find a room laid out already. "You've been here before." He stated looking around.

"I had to find somewhere your nosy brothers wouldn't find us." The prince chuckled. ~

"We were whelps, it's not like we actually got in trouble." The King kissed him.

"You didn't get in trouble, Aidan told father who was not happy with me for some time. My ears still ring thinking about it. And of course my brothers never stopped teasing me."

"Was old Koloi really that bad?"

"I got caught, by my brother, having sex in an abandoned barracks with the Crown Prince of our Race. How bad do you think it was?" Seryn sat back on the bed, pulling him beside him.

"That does sound bad."

"At least he never told your father, we'd have both been in trouble." He looked up at his beloved who was looking around at the pictures and weapons on the walls, "It wasn't all bad, when he wasn't around it was okay. I could pretend nothing was wrong." He sighed.

"She has your figure, your eyes, and your brother's hair, as does the boy." K. Vegeta was looking at the picture of Seryn sitting in an arm chair with Rhiannon in his lap, reading by the fire place.

"A small blessing, that neither resemble him much. Broly is built like my brothers, I think that's why Paragus couldn't stand him when he got bigger. Neither of them resemble him at all, they are mine through and through." Seryn leaned into his lover's embrace, "It was the one thing I would throw at him every time we talked. 'She looks just like me, with the violet hair that makes up most of our family', 'He looks more like Mykul than he does his own father'. I would bait him, because it was all I could do."

"Bardock told my son and his compatriots that she was there when he killed you."

"She was, I had her hidden in the vents." Seryn pointed to the large vent shaft, "I put the vent filter back on, turned off the system and told her not to make a sound. I told her not to come out until someone came for her."

"He said she was only a whelp, seven years old."

"The same as your son when Frieza took him away, her Gran didn't find her until three days later."

"She did not falter when that dragon appeared, the others seemed unnerved by its presence."

"My father instilled in his children that fear is a useless emotion that it should only fuel our courage and enforce our strength to prove it surmountable ; my brothers most likely instilled that same feeling in my daughter. What has she to fear from a creature she has no intentions of angering?"

"Old Koloi would've adored her."

"He does, watching over his beautiful grandchildren, when I went to find him in death I was afraid of what he'd have to say of my choices."Seryn yawned.

"What did he have to say?"

"He was pleased with my actions, proud of my children. He said Broly needed more discipline and Rhiannon reminded him of my mother."

"Oh what a pair they will make, imagine when they make us grandparents."

"Gods help them when they do, I think the little Prince is learning now." Seryn rested his head on his lover's chest, closing his eyes as he spoke.

"Agreed, rest now, we have forever to discuss everything."

Seryn was already asleep, finally relaxed, finally free to be with the man he loved, to watch his children fall in love. A couple hours later Tomais returned to the house, dropping his backpack. The sound alerted the king who moved to investigate. "Relax, majesty, I live here. Rhiannon warned me about you." The blind teenager retracted his guide stick.

"Who are you?"

"Logan's brother"

"Who?"

"You met my brother Logan when Rhi killed her pop right, can't miss him he follows her like a puppy after cases like ours."

"He spoke of recording the event for her."

"That would be him, looks like me only taller, a little more filled out, probably still had his rifle on his back."

"You said Rhiannon warned you of me, what do you mean by this?"

"She let me know you'd be staying with us, warned me to take my own lover elsewhere for our little vacation." Tomais put his hand on the wall, walking through the entry way into the den, his hand out in case anyone had rearranged things.

"There is a small vessel in front of you." K. Vegeta warned him.

"Thanks, Krioni usually picks his toys up but with all the commotion this morning he probably forgot." Tomais moved on through the dining room and into the kitchen.

"Seryn did not get the chance to tell me about his daughter's housemates before he fell asleep."

"Not much to tell, Logan met Rhiannon on a job and they fell in love. I was in an accident that left me permanently blind and fell in love with my assistant who'd been hired to help me adjust to my handicap. My parents threw me out because my new lover was a man and Logan left with me." The young man opened the fridge, allowing Braille tags to sift through his fingers.

**Kreed's Manor**

Kreed appeared first in the manor's living room, flopping into his favorite arm chair, his lovers appearing after him. Broly sat on the floor, still nearly eye-level with his Siren mate. Raditz stood close, watching as Kreed toyed with violet tresses. "How was it, your other business?" the black haired male inquired.

"My cousin and his mate have had judgment passed on them and the ceremony making me the official heir is in a month from now. Uncle Nero was deeply distraught but with time he may reconsider trying for another heir. I have agreed that should such be the case I will happily hand over my Uncle's crown."

"You would give it up that simply?" Broly looked puzzled.

"Our life is simple Broly, after the hells we've all been through simple is an amazing gift." Kreed kissed him.

"At least you have returned with good news." Raditz pulled him from his seat, "It is a cause for celebration."

"What did you have in mind?" Kreed allowed them to take him to their shared master bedroom.

"Whatever you want, it is your celebration."

"In that case, I want my two most favorite males in the universe to show me just how much they missed me."

"That may take awhile."Broly kissed up his neck.

"Like we have anything to do tonight."

**The Warehouse**

"Beautiful form Fatale" Dominic called from the second floor as she landed on the mats.

"Thanks Dom, " Rhiannon wiped the rest of the chalk off her hand, looking to see Gohan watching her, "did everyone else leave?"

"Yeah, can we talk?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, walk with me." She tossed on her sneakers and went to leave, Gohan not far behind her.

They walked for some time in silence, hers relaxed, his awkward and unsure. She strolled leisurely, humming what seemed to be an old lullaby by the tone. Finally he got up the nerve to voice her concerns. "How can you be so relaxed? How can you not care?" he demanded stopping a few steps behind her.

"I've rid the universe of a traitor and a monster, why wouldn't I relax?" she turned around.

"How is that so simple, taking a life, regardless of good or evil should not be so simple." He protested

"You are so cute" she smiled, "I forget what it's like to feel so moved by death, it's been so long. Hold on to that, teach it to your children and grandchildren for the centuries to come Gohan."

"You haven't answered my question."

"You're right, I haven't." she sighed, "It's simple really, there is a part of me that cares and values life regardless of its nature and there is a part of me that does what is necessary for the good of others. You have only seen the side of me I wanted you to see, unfortunately I had no choice but to show you the other."

"This is what drew Kreed and the Pack to you isn't it, this other side of you."

"We referred to it as "the void", a state of being where our emotions, passions, beliefs, cannot interfere with what is necessary for our survival and the survival of others. Be blessed in knowing you have never had to create such a place in yourself nor will Pan or Goten or Trunks or Bulla. For it is innocence like theirs that makes such a place necessary, I can tell you now my soon-to-be step brother could return to that place in a moment's notice and kill without remorse to protect them. Then there's your precious teacher, I'm more than willing to bet he'd kill in a heartbeat without concern to protect the greater good."

"I would do whatever is necessary for my family." He argued.

"And later you would feel the remorse the comes with a temporary void, you would beat yourself up about having to take a life even if it meant protecting all you held dear. I don't have that problem."

"How's that possible?"

"You really are precious Gohan, there is no science to why I don't care that I just killed my father in cold blood, wished my mother back to life and spent the last hour practicing like there wasn't a clean-up crew taking care of the mess." She began to get agitated, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"But you've killed others like that, he's not the first."

"I told a lot of people if I found out they were helping him, they'd share his fate. They didn't take the warning to heart so I made examples of them." She shrugged, turning and started walking again.

"Did he even know?" Gohan asked.

"Know what?" she paused.

"That you were his daughter, before today? Did he know?"

"He knew he had one, Raditz told him yesterday and Ama visited him at the cage last night that I was here and no doubt that I had made a name for myself." She turned back again to stare up at him.

"That's why he killed Seryn, because he wouldn't give you up?"

"Did he truly need a reason Gohan? You've met him, seen how he treated my brother for so long. Imagine what that battle would've been like if my mother had failed and Paragus had found me as a child." She growled, "If you think I am a monster by all means, it is our nature as a warring breed but if you think this of me now imagine what would have happened if I had been standing at my brother's side, under Paragus' control when you and your father, and the prince and whoever the hell else was there that day. "

"We would've failed."

"Exactly, now I'm tired of being judged by the high and mighty for the monster I have chosen to become for the sake of others. I pray you never have to make that choice." She vanished.

Gohan stood a moment to take in what exactly had just happened. He felt as if he was in the wrong, even though the blood had been on her hands. But she had been right, he was judging her and he knew he had to try and make it right. 'She probably wouldn't listen to me now, I'll wait a little while.' He finally decided, returning home to his own family.

**Seryn's Manor**

Rhiannon appeared in the entrance hall, kicking off her sneakers before moving through the living room at the smell of food. She gently reached out with her ki to see who all was home, a trick she'd been taught by her Gran when she was little. Upstairs she felt the familiar sense of her mother's ki and one unfamiliar ( the King), and two more in the kitchen, her beloved Logan and his little brother Tomais. She continued her venture into the kitchen to find Logan was cooking while Tomais read a book, his fingers brushing over the pages.

"You feel troubled Rhi, did something happen?" Tomais looked up, his gray eyes filled with concern.

"I'm fine Tommy, Gohan gave me a little grief."

"They've never needed 'the void', you come out of it well."

"Practice makes perfect."

"He deserved what he got, gorgeous." Logan stepped away from the stove to wrap his arms around her, kissing up her neck, "The only pity is he lived so long. I enjoyed watching you play with him."

"And they think I'm a monster."

"Don't be bothered by them Rhi. We do what their petty sense of righteousness doesn't allow for." Tomais sighed.

"Off this subject, I don't care what he thinks or any of them for that matter." She turned in Logan's embrace, kissing him tenderly, "How are Ama and the King fairing?"

"No disturbances, save when Tomais came home. Apparently your mom didn't get around to giving him the heads up before taking a nap."

"It was no trouble, he probably heard me when the door opened. I told him Logan and I also lived here and he followed me to the kitchen while I made a snack."

~"So you have lived here for some time" the King inquired.

"If three years counts as some time then yeah." Tomais took out several items from the fridge, a tomato, lettuce, a foil container which revealed left over ham, then a loaf of bread from the box on the counter.

"Raditz has told me much of Seryn's son Broly, I was there when he was born, but I know nothing of his daughter." K. Vegeta watched the blind man slice the tomato and make a sandwich with ease.

"So you figure ask the housemates, want one?"Tomais offered.

"No thank you," the Saiyan male declined, "and yes I wish to know more of her. Seryn only spoke of when she was very young, before his death. He said he did not see her much when she returned a young woman."

"Let me ask you this first, do you wish to know her as your friend's daughter or as a potential stepfather?"

"Does it matter?"

"To know her as a friend's daughter you need only to interact with her, my input isn't necessary, but as a potential stepfather, she seems pretty open to the idea. Rhiannon is wild but disciplined, she knows when to act and when to wait, does what is necessary for the good of others with no thought of herself."

"What does she like?"

"She is warrior born and raised, do you have a daughter?" Tomais sat eating.

"No, only two sons, would it make any difference?"

"No, she's always been one of the guys in training and on the battlefield. She'll talk battle strategy for hours, swordplay for days if you let her."~

"Dinner's nearly ready." Logan returned to the stove, "about another half hour at the most."

"Alright, I'm going to clean up. All this drama, and I swear I reek." Rhiannon kissed him on the cheek before turning to go back to the entrance hall and up the stairs. At the top of the stairs she crept toward the door to her mother's bedroom, which stood ajar. There on the bed sat the King, fast asleep against the headboard with her mother lying on his chest, blood red hair flowing around him like a curtain.

Rhiannon smiled softly, happy to see the contented smile on her sleeping mother's face at last. She crept quietly back to her room and into her own private bathroom for a bubble bath before dinner. She cleaned up and rested her head on the towel at the end of the tub, relaxing the stress way. Half an hour later she heard Logan come in with her bathrobe from the door. "Dinner time already?"she asked.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure if you wanted to wake your mom."

"I'll get them up, go on. We'll be down quickly." She got out of the bath putting on her robe before pulling the plug and taking a towel to her hair.

Blaze: I couldn't decide if I wanted to do reactions and reunions all in one chapter so I figure I'll split it up so lots of smutty goodness in the next chapter . Also I'm considering making this the centerpiece and adding the stories of the Pack in with it. Please let me know what you think. Again my apologies it has been so long coming.
