A/N: Okay, took longer than I thought it would, and I'm still not happy with this chapter, but at least it's done :P

"Did anyone get a location?"

Genesis shook his head in response to Danni's question. Not yet anyhow. Over the last three weeks, SOLDIER had been attempting to lock onto a location of Sephiroth or any of the Remnants, though as of yet not a single location had been tied to any, not even any false leads. It was both a good thing and a bad thing, good in the sense that it didn't foreshadow an immediate onslaught, but it also opened up the probability of him going between worlds - which definitely wasn't a good possibility to have on the table…it opened a lot more routes and likely fatalities.

Danni frowned, pretending to clean a glass as Angeal watched her and Genesis - if he knew she was talking about SOLDIER, there would be hell to pay for - she wasn't allowed any look-in without Tyler's clearance, and she wouldn't get that without Angeal's first off - and his opinion was pretty clear on the matter lately - no. She looked back to Genesis as she feigned a pleading gesture.

"Talk to him please - I'm bored out of my skull!"

Danni groaned as she put her head down on the cool wood of the bar's counter - it was the honest truth - things were so dead lately! Demyx and the rest had accepted Rufus' jobs and now spent most of their time at ShinRa, Angeal and Genesis were under Lazard's orders again, though at least the running of the force had straightened itself out in the last three weeks - Rufus had finished the alterations to the new SOLDIER floor, fitting it was several simulation rooms, accomodation and an off-duty lounge. Cloud had also been spending his time split between deliveries and helping with some training at ShinRa…

"Why was Tifa at the medical wing last week?"

She smirked as she lifted her head back up from the counter, quickly shaking her head as Genesis awaited an answer to his question, she stuck her tongue out in a manner which conveyed the fact that she was not about to spill on the reason behind the bar-owner's trip to the medical wing. Tifa had only just found out herself, and only told Cloud a few days ago - his face had been so priceless!

"You know why…what about the Wutai-girl with Valentine? "

"None of your business!"

Danni stuck her tongue out once more as the door of the bar swung open, revealing familiar youths, though each now sported dark suits and white shirts - on the most part, having the jobs was a good thing - Demyx had his own apartment and a more than decent wage coming in every week, as well as being able to stay around Edge, but there was just one fault Danni could see…the amount of times she had called Axel Reno, and Reno Axel was not funny! Sure, they both had different coloured eyes and tattoos beneath their eyes, but in all fairness - the first thing people tended to notice on each was the red hair, and now with the same suits, and their similar regard for the uniform's dress code - it was just a pain!

"You want me to talk to Angeal - then I want to know about Valentine's girl."

Genesis smirked as the young woman spun back to face him, a look of slight shock on her face, along with disbelief. Well, fair was fair, right? She wanted him to bend Angeal's ear, it was only fair that he should get something in return.

"That's bribary!"

"Correction - that's life."

Danni grumbled under her breath as the SOLDIER spoke his so called correction smugly, knowing that he was going to get the information he wanted now. She could probably ask Tyler to have a word with Angeal, but that could take ages for the doctor's opinion to be accepted in regards to training, at least Angeal would listen to Genesis the first time around. She rolled her eyes as she bent forward on the bar's counter, ensuring that no one else could hear her apart from Genesis.

"First - her name is Yuffie. Second - if you repeat this to anyone, I'll know exactly where it came from. And third - Yuffie is almost three months pregnant."

It was all the SOLDIER could do not to fall from his bar-stool. He had not expected that…at all. The idea of Valentine having a kid was a strange enough thought that he did not wish to even wander into…he had nothing against the man, nothing in the slightest. There was no animosity between them, but there was no solid friendship either - allies, that was all. But Yuffie on the other hand…that little kleptomaniac was going to have a kid - she was still only a youngster, a few years older than Danni was all. Genesis stared rather uncharacteristically blunt at Danni as a thought occurred to him. He glanced from the slightly confused looking young woman to the laughing young man in the corner, then back to her again.

"Danni, she's not that much older than you - just don't be naïve."

She blinked…then blinked again…and again - it didn't work - he was still sitting there looking at her. Had the SOLDIER no understanding of boundaries? No understanding of what was strictly off-limits in concern to the opposite sex? And still he was talking…

"I'm gonna stop you right there and pretend I didn't hear that Genesis - it's none of your business what Demyx and I do together, and I am not naïve!"

Genesis merely nodded in a surprisingly rapid submission, raising his hands in a defensive gesture as her voice whispered to him in a dangerously low volume, belaying nothing of her meaning. He had over stepped a line, personally speaking he didn't think he had. But evidently she thought otherwise, and in these circumstances, it was just easier to agree than argue.

"Okay, okay - I won't mention it again. That makes two with Yuffie then."

Danni gave the older man an odd look…two? Yuffie was one, but she definitely hadn't mentioned or hinted about Tifa. The woman had only just told her fiancé, but if she hadn't let slip about Tifa - then who had Genesis meant?

"Who's number two?"

"Elena - don't tell me you didn't know?! Everyone's known with weeks…"

She shook her head - a couple of weeks - that must have been when she was ill, otherwise she would've remembered. And now when she thought about it, Elena had been spending a lot more time on paper work as opposed to her usual role in the central Turks. She had also seemed top put on a bit of weight, but she'd refrained from asking or mentioning such for fear of being wrong or insulting the older woman.

"Damn…a Turk's kid, a baby kleptomaniac in training, and more J-cells…good luck trying to find a baby-sitter for them."

Genesis inclined his head as he picked up on the J-cells mention, he doubted Danni had meant to say that, but it kinda narrowed down people, and added another person into the equation…for the kid to have J-cells, then at least one of the parents would have to have J-Cells too…

"J-Cells - Danni, are you pre-"

"For a smart guy, you jump to a lot of conclusions Genesis! Not me, I'm not the only one with J-Cells - so does Cl-"

Danni clamped hour mouth shut immediately, mentally cursing herself as realization spread across the SOLDIER's face. He had evidently gotten the answer to his first question despite her attempt to keep it from him. Genesis smiled as he stood, glad that he'd gotten his answer, while shooting Cloud a somewhat examining look. He looked back having noticed her evident displeasure with having given away Tifa's reason for being at the medical wing.

"Don't worry - you told me in confidence and I'll keep it in confidence - but if anything goes wrong before Tifa tells anyone else, or before the three of them deliver, I'm telling the President and Lazard to pull them back. It's too much of a risk."

"Tha-ahh!"

Danni jumped as she exclaimed, a painfully cold shock running down the length of her spine. She spun on her heels to find a laughing Axel standing behind her - she'd kill him, kill him stone dead - as soon as she got the ice-cubes out of her t-shirt…

"How fucking childish can one person be?!"

"If he's anything like his brother, then there are no limitations."

Cloud smirked as he watched Danni throw a handful of ice-cubes in the general direction of the young man - personally speaking he thought it was rather simple of her to do so considering Axel was capable of manipulating and controlling fire - then again, given Axel's ducking and avoiding, he hadn't seen the sense in being able to melt the make-shift projectiles. Still though, it made for good entertainment to watch!

"Ah - No - Bad Danni! Demyx - Call her off!"

Axel ducked down behind the opposite side of the counter as several small ice-cubes came particularly close to striking his head - god she was an easy person to make an enemy of!

"Nope - you dug yourself into that hole hothead! Hey Danni - catch - you left it at mine."

Danni halted in her relentless pelting of ice-cubes as Demyx tossed her phone to her - she'd only realised where she had left it a few hours ago. Which was rather slow of her to be honest, she'd left it at is apartment last night, and had spent half the day tearing the bar and the house to pieces looking for any sign of it, she'd even gone through Denzel's school bag for it - and god that kid would want to clean it out…she even thought she'd felt something furry in it at one stage.

"And just what were you doing at his yesterday? Hmm - oww!"

Axel was cut from his knowing look and exaggerated voice as an ice-cube struck him hard in the forehead - Danni simply smirked - that's what he got for not paying attention! And he should know better by now to mind his own business. He confused her a bit though, not as much as his brother, but he still did. Right now he was joking around and pulling pranks, but when Xemnas had shown up, he'd been serious and mature. She guessed it was something which ran in their family, Reno was kinda the same - he acted the joker at times, but despite it he was actually a top class Turk - he wouldn't have been made second after Tseng otherwise.

"So why are those two talking so much?"

Danni glanced up from pouring two drinks as Demyx leaned on the counter of the bar, making a gesture towards Genesis and Angeal - both of which had been in clear discussion with the best part of the last hour - she shrugged lightly, silently hoping that it was Genesis trying to convince Angeal to leave her work at ShinRa. The bar was fun and all, and she'd still do night shifts, Tifa would have to cut her own hours down soon, no way would Cloud allow her to over work herself when she was pregnant.

"Coz I want to be a part of SOLDIER again, and Genesis is one of the few people Angeal will listen to…hand me that glass?"

Demyx stood from his stool as he picked up the glass Danni had pointed to, handing it across the counter to her, taking note of just how packed the bar was tonight, and how much pressure it was putting on those behind the bar. Danni was pouring a few drinks, Tifa was taking orders, and Yuffie was doing whatever she was doing up at the other end of the bar…another second or two and the young man had made up his mind.

"Give me a tray - I'll get the empty stuff…"

Danni shook her head without looking up - nope. Nope, he'd been working all day at ShinRa, things there were still pretty hectic, and putting down a full day there was a feat in itself lately. Though the main source of entertainment had become watching people mistake Axel for Reno…and watching the two purposely confuse others. Either way, it wasn't fair, she was working now, he'd already spent the day working so it was his night off.

"Nope - you've been at work all day -"

"And you haven't been? C'mon, I'm sick of getting stick because of going out with you from the others, I work all day, you work all night, so let me give a hand…"

"Nope - hey!"

Danni was cut off from her imminent displeasured words as Demyx took his chance to grab an empty tray from over the counter while kissing her lightly…a series of whistles and jeers from the corner quickly separated the two as Danni laughed and Demyx rolled his eyes, though finding himself laughing along with her.

"See - told you I was getting stick over you…jinx!"
