Blueeyeddevil06, thank you for being my beta!
Jadeite thrust his cock deep into Raye and said, "That is the Staff of Truth. It's very large and magical. You can't lie to me when it's inside of you."
She shook her head at him. "You're an idiot."
"And you love me. What does that say about you?" He kissed her forehead and added, "How are you doing? No lying with the -"
"-Twig of Truth in me?" She interrupted.
He shook his head. "You forget. I can tell when you're lying. The Staff of Truth says you lie. You know I'm big."
She shifted her eyes to the wall. "I've been better. I'm glad he's been stopped, and we have a place for him to be cared for. I know you don't see the point of that."
"I do. It matters to you, so I see the point. I want you to be comfortable with where he is. Frankly, it makes me love you even more. You're that loyal to a man who failed you constantly. That only says good things about our marriage. I adore you. I'm not perfect, though."
"True," she teased.
"Hey!"
"The Staff of Truth is in me. I can't lie," she defended, laughing.
He chuckled. He then grew serious. "How are you after going through his writings?"
"Better. It actually helped. I needed to be involved and be part of something he did that aided our cause. He at least left me something good."
He smiled. He was glad that he was right that being there would help. He wanted to be able to protect her well. She was so incredibly strong, but he wanted to help keep her safe too.
He then looked at her playfully and asked, "How's the sex?"
"Well, since I have to tell the truth, it's amazing. Can you make love to me again?"
"Anything for you, my love." She was everything to him, and he would give anything to be her protection and her pleasure.
"You absolute asshole!" Grandpa Hino was pissed at his son. He hadn't even done anything, he couldn't. He just needed to fume.
"You have no idea what you lost out on with her. Your daughter is amazing and fierce. She deserves so much better than you."
Alice couldn't help herself. She heard him ranting from the hall, and the whole thing broke her heart. She stepped into the room and closed the door.
"She has better. She has you and Jadeite. She also had that sweet friend Mina that helped her initially check this place out."
"But her father -"
She cut him off, "We all have issues. He's hers. He didn't break her. Really, from what I saw, he lost out on the amazing woman you raised. He failed her. You didn't. She has one asshole in her life. Not everyone is that lucky."
"She did nothing wrong."
"That's not how this works. It's not karma. But I would argue she has more love in her life than most people. She's young, and she's realizing her father doesn't define her or her worth."
He looked at his son and said what was truly on his heart. "What did I do wrong when I raised him?"
"Not a damn thing! You raised that amazing woman. He's not your fault. I see horrible children of good people all the time in my line of work. And don't forget, he gave you one good thing in your life - Raye."
He nodded with misty eyes. "That he did."
"My advice is forgive him and move on. He's not worth your anger and it's not worth your time. Don't give him that power. Also, she chose a good man to love in Jadeite. Be grateful for that too."
"I promise you that you don't fully know how good he is for her. Thank you for all you said. It matters."
She smiled at him and added, "He has excellent care. I promise you both that. Raye can rest in that and forget he exists now."
"Alice, will you marry me?" He teased.
She laughed and shook her head. "No, but I'll go on a date with you."
He smiled. She was beautiful and at least ten years younger than him. Most of all, she valued Raye like he did. "I'll pick you up Friday at six. Text me your address."
Lita cuddled up with Nephrite. "Thank you for asking."
"I know you both too well. I trust Serena, I know you do too, but you are too afraid of hurting her feelings."
"You're right about it all. It's strange to think of Metalia as a broken life form. She suffered so much."
"Serena takes too much on herself. She wants to heal her, but I don't know what she'll become."
"Rick argues that a gas can easily be compressed into a solid. Well, easily for someone as powerful as her."
He nodded, "And Luna was pissed! She wants Metalia destroyed."
"She is afraid of risking Serena. Once Darien agreed, she backed off. She knew he wouldn't do anything that could potentially let harm come to her."
"Still, if she can make a wish on the Silver Crystal to turn Metalia into a human woman, that's amazing."
She smiled, "That is the woman I protect. She's incredible."
"I know I made my vow to Darien, but I will protect her first. You have to realize that's his first priority."
"I knew them before you did in this life. She's always been his focus. Even when he was an ass to her, she was the only woman he paid attention to."
"I like the story of her slapping him. She loved him, but she wouldn't let him use her."
"True, but he owned her heart completely by that point."
"He begged her to move in with him. She wasn't the only one in love."
She smiled, "True."
Metalia shifted deep in her place at D Point. She was done relying on others to do her dirty work. Now it was time for her to make her move.
Rita hugged Unazuki tightly. "It's okay."
"But… I was awful."
"You kicked those guys asses," she said smiling. "And everyone knows you were controlled by the Negaverse."
"Why don't people recognize you and Andrew?"
Rita sighed, "Because we were glamoured from sight. Your brother personally called Tuxedo Mask. I promise you're protected, more than you know."
She shifted her focus from the floor. "My brother did that?"
"Yes. He will protect you every chance he has."
"Our daughter is amazing!" Kenji said to his wife.
"She is. It's crazy to think I gave birth to the woman who can do all that. The girl who couldn't show up on time to class is saving the world."
"It seems to me it's her heart for people that makes the difference. She takes after you my love."
Lita smiled as she emailed the details of Sergeant O to Amy. She thought the other girls would have fun with that.
