So, this has been rolling around in my head for a few days, and I decided to just go with it and let go what I'd previously written but not posted. I haven't received my computer back but borrowed a friends to type this out. No ideas when the next update will be but I promise it will haves some sexy time in it for both Addy and Teddy and for Callie and Arizona. Hopefully, that will make up for the long amounts of time between chapters. Thanks for understanding guys, you rock, your reviews encourage me and keep me writing. All mistakes are mine as I do not have a beta.

Arizona smiled at Callie as she as escorted back into the chamber halls. Queen Eiraina stood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Persians and Amazons, a decision needs to be reached. Persia has had its chance to speak are there questions from the amazons? "
Callie stood and leveled a gaze at Arizona that made Arizona shiver. When she spoke she was confident, strong and certain of herself.
"Princess of Persia, your past speaks very clearly as to the women you were and to the woman you have become. One that has rebuilt her nation from the dust, made it strong, it is built off an economy of trust and giving, as a leader that will give you a stronger army than Rome. That said, in an alliance no less is expected. Do not presume to think yourself stronger than us, do not presume to think you can use and abuse the amazon nation, you know nothing of our history, you know nothing of our secrets, nor our power." The brown eyes flashed dangerously and Arizona saw the battle lust tempered and channeled so well by Calliope. Their eyes locked and Callie continued. "we are not toys to be trifled with, nor an alliance weaker than your nation, to be used. We will fight well beside you, not behind you. We will protect your innocent as our own, train them to fight and protect themselves beside you, not behind you. If you ask for amazon blood to be spilt on your land, you better damn well know the cost if you ever cross us."
Callie had moved closer and closer to the Persian princess her eyes dangerously glinting, her muscles taut and flexed. Arizona gulped and gathered her thoughts for a moment before replying and she stood walking towards the object of her desire as she addressed the entire council.
"I understand Regent that my past has not always been exemplary, but my current present has spoken for itself. As a Persian, I stand behind my word. I speak not only for the royal blood that flows through my viens, but I also speak for the blood of every soldier, of every innocent in my nations, and their lives I value more than my own. My army will stand behind me and just as you said, we will fight beside you not behind you. you are our allies, we will make battle plans together, forotify our cities, our nations together. Together we will rebuild what is broken, as long as the alliance holds." turning back to the very turned on regent she spoke dropping her voice to almst a whisper. "Together Calliope, have I answered your doubts?"
Callie nodded and turned back to her queen.
"As one of the political deciders in this nation I suggest this alliance be made, who stands with me? I have one mre suggestion your majesties, I suggest we approach Carlos of Babylon and ask for an official treaty, same agreement here. Is this acceptable to all parties? "
The majority of the council members stood, terms were agreed upon and the alliance was signed, binding the amazon nation and the Persian nation together. Queen Eirana stood with a smile on her face.
"well, now that that has been settled, please our ladies set up a new stage and party area outside of the borders of the nation so that all the Persians men may join us in celebration. Ladies please put a mask on them bind their hands and lets go."
Mark looked over at Arizona.
"My lady, bound? Come on we are allies now, can't you negotiate out of this? "
Arizona laughed.
"Sorry mark, its not malicious, just the rules."
An Amazon man stood and clapped Mark on the shoulder.
"We are amazon men from the lost tribe and we are not even allowed to know where this city is specifically. Come on Buddy, just think you're bound and gagged around some of the hottest women in the world."
Mark laughed and stuck out his hand.
"Mark Sloan."
"Derek Sheppard, regent and sex slave to the queen of the lost tribe over there. Meredith grey."
Laughter bubbled from Mark's mouth as he winked.
"Oh I'm sure it's a willing sex slave."
Derek smiled.
"Yeah, comes with being the husband. Besides, A few of our women have been eyeing you, don't worry bound and gagged will be nothing once they get to you."
Mark smiled.
"Sounds good."
Arizona watched as Callie was pulled aside for a moment by the queen. They seemed deep in conversation and nods were given by Callie as she spoke. Arizona watched as Callie then walked over t Teddy and Addison and spoke in low tones. Teddy and Addison nodded and then Callie's head turned, her brown eyes met Arizona's and for a moment Arizona felt the strength and the confidence, and then Callie turned and left without a word.
As the night air hit Callie's face she winced. She had known proposing the alliance was a bad idea, but she had also known that her father would approve the alliance, he had always been a hidden ally to the amazon nation, primarily because her mother had been an amazon queen. She hated leaving Arizona in the dark but knew she wasn't ready to reveal her heritage just yet. When she reached her home she went up into the attic and pulled out her Babylonian garb, that both showed her rank and her heritage. She took the sword out of its sheath and smiled at the farmiliar feel. Putting them in a bag she quickly went downstairs to the kitchen and the storehouse and acked a parcel of food, if she hurried she would be back in two days. She hated leaving Arizona that long. She finished packing and grabbing her amazon weapons she quicky checked the strong of her bow making it taut and strong, checked her sword to make sure it was sharp. Sitting down with a scroll and a quill she quickly jotted a note to Arizona, explaining simply that she had been chosen to deliver the treaty and that she would be back in a week. For a moment Callie leaned back into the couch relaxing watching the fire dance off the roof, and her mind was instantly invaded by thoughts of Arizona. She closed her eyes. Her father would ask her if she was involved. She was so caught in her thoughts that she missed the entrance of a certain blonde until she was leaning against the door frame and soft words passed her lips.
"Leaving without saying goodbye Calliope?"
Callie chuckled and pulled the blond into her lap as she approached.
"I was asked to take the letter, with a small elite squad. Addy and Teddy will protect you just fine."
Arizona pouted.
"I want to come, in fact I am coming. It will go over in Babylon anyway. My father and he were good friends."
Callie sighed.
"Ari, Im not sure that I would be able to focus if you came. I need that."
Arizona smirked.
"Right its going to be hard to convince the silent ally to the amazon nation, namely your father and mother , that a signed alliance would be a bad idea?"
Callie stopped and looked at her.
"What? How did you?"
Arizona smirked again.
"I know your father well Calliope, I asked him for an alliance on my way here, he revealed the alliance with this nation as well as the ties, Eiraina was next in line and is your aunt, and you are the next in line for the throne here and in Babylon depending on which you choose to take. It does not scare, me bother me or make me want you any less or more. Titles and relationships are two very different things. Your brother and I were out talking one night and he revealed how much you've been used for your titles. I have no intention of doing so, I don't need anymore titles or victories, I just want you Calliope. "
Callie sat speechless for a moment gazing into the blue eyes, she reached out and stroked Arizona's cheek gently.
"Well then I gues my father and mother should be preparing for two guests."
"Indeed. I will send Mark back to Persia with the alliance and the majority of my escort. I would appreciate a change of amazon garb, one for Teddy as well. We will go dressed as amazons, until we are needed in our Persian garb, that way we will be able to blend well. We can move faster."
Callie smiled, it was wise thinking. She poked her head out the door to find Addy and Teddy sitting on the doorstep.
"Addy, get Teddy some amazon clothes, I have the weapons."
Addy chuckled.
"We going somewhere boss?"
"All of us will go to Babylon."
Addy grinned.
"Aight."
Callie walked back into the house and looked over at Arizona.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"ok then come with me."
Arizona followed her into the attic and handed her ahand carved bow. It was cared out of cedar and pine, and had a beautiful mix of red and white."
"This is beautiful Calliope. Thank you."
"It was my sisters, she died in battle a few years ago, she told me to give it to someone worthy of carrying it. Worthy of carrying my heart. So it's yours. Now come, we need to get you leathers."
Twenty minutes later Arizona emerged dressed in amazon leathers and Callie's jaw dropped. The leather hugged her frame in all the right places, accentuating them and Callie felt her mouth water. Arizona smirked.
"Like what you see Calliope?"
"You have no idea, come we need to leave before the moon reaches it's peak."
She quickly kissed Arizona on the cheek and called Alia. Arizona smirked and caed gently for Delilah, who ran over and jumping landed perfectly on her shoulder, Arizona lifting a hand to steady the amourous little leopard. Callie smiled at the sight.
"How long did it take you two to perfect that?"
Arizona grinned.
"She's never left my side and managed to stay hidden. She a lovely lap warmer."
Callie chuckled.
" I was wondering why large chucks of meat would disappear off your plate at meal times."
Arizona laughed, a sound that took Callie's breath away. They were met outside by Addy and Teddy, who was pulling at her leathers.
"I want my pants."
laughter erupted from the other three women.
Callie met Addison's eyes.
"Ready?"
"Yes, we are."
Arizona looked at Teddy.
"Did you give Mark the letter?"
"Yes your majesty, Addy and I already took care of it, we even have the horses ready."
"Well then, shall we?"
Callie nodded pulled her mask on as did the other three and rode hard into the night.
A pair of blue eyes watched them ride into the dark and a dark grin spread over the well sculpted features. Soon, soon, soon you will both be mine.
