"Betrayal"

By Cindra

Notes: I put colons between conversations denoting silent thought between two characters.

' Is what I call the Heartlink or private communication between a two characters usually a couple. Or in rare cases parent to sibling. (This is usually the way that soul mates talk to each other when they don't want anyone to know what they are saying.)

( )Twin link can't be heard by anyone but the other twin…or only if someone is extremely strong in his or her mental abilities.

** or italics That represents thoughts of the characters.

(A few months later)

Months have gone by and Keith still has not regained his sight and his mood has changed drastically.

"If someone tries to help me one more time, I will make sure that they physically regret it!" He snarled in frustration and threw a vase against the wall.

Allura and Ariel gaped at him in shock, as they watched him tear up the room. "We love you and that's the only reason that we want to help you!" Allura snapped at her husband.

Keith whirled around and glared at her. "Love will not bring my sight back!" He roared at her, stalking out of the room.

'Keith, come back here!?' She hissed at him.

'I need time alone to think and I can't do that around you!' He snarled and then did something that he hadn't done ever; he blocked her out of his mind. *I'm sorry, love, but I need time.*

"Let him go, Mom, maybe he needs time alone away from all of us." Ariel tried to remain strong for her mother.

"He's all alone, Ariel, and he can't see!" Allura ran from the room in tears.

"I know that, Mom, but he doesn't want our help! We have to give him some time!" She raced after her mother.

A shuttlecraft landed on the landing pad next to the castle.

"Home sweet home!" Lance was glad to be back.

Cassie shot him a strange look. "Look, Christy, LJ. Daddy is making a fool of himself." Cassie grinned at the kids.

"Very funny, Cassandra," Lance growled.

"Who said that I was joking?" She stuck her tongue at him.

"Come on, LJ, let's go find Matt." Christy picked up her little brother and ran to the castle. Hunk and Sheena's brood chased after their cousins.

"See, Cass, they're also glad to be home." Lance pulled her to him for a kiss.

"Where is everyone?" Cass frowned.

"I told you that we should've called to tell them that we were coming." Lance and Cass headed for the castle.

Fawn sat in the gym and watched Kane as he went through his daily workout. 'Boy, is he gorgeous.' She sighed.

"What are you staring at, Angel?" Kane grinned at her, as he punched the heavy bag.

"Nothing…I'm just analyzing your fighting style." Fawn blushed crimson.

"Oh really? And here I thought that you were just enjoying the view." He teased her.

'I've seen better…' She didn't like it when he teased her.

'Would you care to elaborate on that, Angel?' He walked towards her.

'Mom's calling me.' Fawn backed up towards the door.

'Angel, why are you so nervous?' Kane growled.

'You're imagining things.' She gulped nervously.

'You're trembling, Angel.' He had her trapped against the door.

'I'm cold…' She whimpered.

'It's seventy degrees in this room.' His mouth was now just inches away from hers.

'This isn't good for your recovery, Kane. You were just allowed out of the medical wing.' She eyed him with her huge doe eyes.

'On the contrary, this is just what the doctor ordered.' He finally did what he'd been longing to do since he first laid eyes on her, he kissed her.

'But, Kane…' Fawn found herself lost in their kiss.

Eric and Andy lay in each other's arms on a blanket while their three-year-olds splashed around in their shallow wadding pool

"This is perfect laying here in each others arms, watching the girls play in the water, and I finally have that bloody cast off of my ankle." Andy was content just to lie there in his arms.

Eric was silent and not really paying attention to what she was saying. "What? Oh yeah, this is perfect." He answered absently.

'Stop this, Eric! It's not your fault that Daddy is blind!' Andy got up and went to play with the twins.

'I'm not blaming myself!' He snarled.

'I'm wearing my new bikini and you haven't even made one comment about it!' She snarled at him.

Eric dove into the water and chose to ignore her completely.

Andy dove in after him. "You haven't really talked to me in months! All you do is mope around all day! Yes, Daddy is blind! It wasn't your fault! Or are you blaming me for all of this?!" She dunked his head under the water.

Eric surfaced and came up sputtering for air. "What the hell are you trying to do! Kill me?!" He glared murderously at her.

"He reacts! Someone call the media!" Andy acted like him snarling at her was big news.

Eric splashed some water in her face. "Cut it out, Andy!"

"What's wrong, Eric? Afraid that you'll have to show any emotion!" She splashed water back at him.

"I'm warning you, Andy!" He splashed her back.

"Or you'll do what, Eric?! Wallow in self pity?! If anyone should be upset here then it should be me! I was kidnapped from our bed wearing almost nothing and then had to face Khan and Shaitan. It was the most humiliating experience of my life!"

"Enough, Andromeda!"

"You however had the honor of being saved from Shaitan's flash bomb by my father! He knew the risks and dove to shield you and that just floored you didn't it!" She slapped him hard across his face.

Eric grabbed her wrist when she tried to slap him again. "I said that I've heard enough!" He pulled her against him and crushed his mouth down against her own.

Keith was sitting on the grass with Jessie on his shoulders and Jasmine was kissing all over his face. "And how are Grandpa's little princesses today?" He finally let himself relax. "I wonder where Eric and Andy are, they usually don't leave the two of you alone." He listened for any sign of them and heard them shouting at each other.

"Grandada, look." Jessie pointed to the water.

"Momma and Daddy playing!" Jazz giggled.

"Sorry, angels, but as much as I want to see this…I still can't see." He willed himself to see and was rewarded by a glaring light.

"Grandada?" Jessie frowned.

"I'm okay. I think that my sight is finally returning." His vision cleared and he saw Eric and Andy kissing in the water. "Enough is enough, you two! Are you both forgetting that there are two innocents watching?" He interrupted their kiss.

"Daddy! What are you doing here?" She gasped in surprise.

"I needed peace and quiet and this is always nice and quiet." He growled.

"Are you okay, Daddy?" Andy got out of the water and walked over to him.

"Dad, are your eyes hurting you?" Eric saw that he was squinting at them.

"My sight is almost completely back." Keith grinned.

"That's great, Daddy!" Andy squealed happily, as she hugged her father.

"What are you wearing? Put some clothes on!" Keith didn't like what she was not wearing one bit.

Lance and Cassie were looking for their oldest.

"We've looked everywhere but in the Sit Room." Lance walked inside and saw that the room was empty, except for the seat in front of the main console where a couple was making out. "Cass, look." He grinned.

"That's a switch. I never thought about sneaking in here to make out." She whispered.

"Excuse me, soldier, but I'm looking for my son…" Lance's voice trailed off, as he saw that it was his son that was making out in the Sit room.

"Matthew!" Cassie gaped at him in shock.

Matt looked into his father's eyes. "Dad! Mom!? What are you doing here?" He exclaimed.

Jenna jumped out of Matt's lap. 'Your parents were watching us?!'She blushed to her toes.

"And who might you be, young Lady?" Cassie glared at Jenna.

"Lt. Jenna Michelle Edwards, the General was my grandfather. So that makes Keith my Uncle of sorts." Jenna glared back at her.

Lance tried to take all of this in, "That would make you Rand and Kari's daughter."

"They may have been my birthparents, but I found my true family here on Arus." Jenna stated proudly.

"Mom, Dad, a lot has happened in these almost three years. When you left for Zaire, I knew that I was on my own. Oh, sure, I had Uncle Keith and Aunt Allura and my cousins, but I was barely twelve and in my second year at the academy, and that's when I met Jenna, and we've been best friends ever since." Matt explained.

"Matthew, how old are you?" Lance growled.

"That's easy almost sixteen." He frowned.

"You are way too young for a serious relationship." He lectured his son.

'I'll see you later, Matt.' Jenna purred and kissed him. "It's been so nice finally meeting you both, but I promised to baby-sit Hunter for Nate and Ariel."

"And I have watch duty in ten minutes." Matt attempted to make his escape.

Lance grabbed him by his jacket and pushed him back down into the chair. "Not so fast, Matthew Alexander!" He pinned his son with a glare. "We are going to have a nice long chat."

Kane went looking for Fawn, who had fled in terror after sharing their first kiss.

'Angel? Did I scare you?' Kane asked softly, as he knocked on the door to her quarters. "Fawn? We need to talk about what happened in the gym." He growled softly.

"What happened?" Allura asked him.

"Hello, your majesty, exactly how long have you been standing there?" He smiled at her.

"Long enough to know that something happened between you and my daughter," Allura frowned at him. "Now start talking."

"I would if it was of important, but this is between Angel and me." Kane growled.

"Angel?" Allura arched a brow at him that basically told him to keep talking.

"She reminds me of an Angel and has been a godsend to me since the moment I opened my eyes and saw her staring down at me. I truly did think that she was an angel, because I was sure that Khan had killed me. She was the first to really believe me and has become my best friend." Kane explained, as much as he was going to explain about his relationship with Fawn.

"She is like an angel and like you has gone from hell and back and actually lived to tell about it. Did she tell you how she came here to Arus?"

"Yes and I won't allow anything or anyone to hurt her like that again." Kane was dead serious.

"Keith has been really tough on you, but I want you to know that I consider you a part of our family." She smiled at him.

"Fawn is in her room studying for her finals. What was it that happened between the two of you that made her run to her room and hide?" Allura now stood between him and the door.

"She's fragile and I must have startled her with the kiss that we shared in the gym." Kane growled softly.

"She's sixteen, Kane, and so unsure of her feelings. Take things slow, and let her get used to these feelings that she has for you." Allura gave him that advice and then went on her way.

The door opened, a hand reached out to grab him by his sweatshirt, and then dragged him inside her room.

"Hey!" He exclaimed when he landed on the carpeting of Fawn's room.

'Explain!' She snarled down at him, as she aimed her Bo staff at his throat.

'Whoa, Angel! I come in peace!' He held up his hands in surrender.

'I wanted to be left alone!' She hissed back, but did not remove her weapon.

'Listen, Angel, I know what happened frightened you and it's okay to be scared.' He tried to soothe her ruffled feathers.

'Don't you dare talk to me as if I were a fragile piece of glass?!' She snapped at him.

'I'm not treating you like glass, Fawn. I just want us to talk about what happened.' Kane kept a tight rein on his temper.

'What's to talk about! I didn't like being kissed!' She hissed. 'Now leave!'

Kane grabbed the Bo staff and tossed it onto her bed. "Fawn, you may think that all I care about is that kiss, but I care more about how you're feeling." He sprang to his feet and took back control of the situation.

"What are you going to do?" She whimpered, as she backed away from him in fear.

"Leave, just as you wanted me to. I would never hurt you or force you to do anything against your will. I thought that you trusted me, but I guess that I was wrong." His voice was laced with the hurt that her actions had caused him as he left her room.

Fawn stood there in shock, as what he had just told her finally sunk in. "Wait!" She shouted and ran after him. 'Kane, don't leave me!' She cried in panic.

Kane was tackled in the corridor before he'd even walked four feet from her door.

'I'm just frightened and confused! Please don't leave me!' She pleaded, as she buried her face against his chest.

Kane wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her in his arms. 'Angel, don't cry. I wasn't going to leave you. I was just going to my quarters.'

'I'm sorry that I acted the way I did… you scared me and when that happens I close down completely and all of my defenses go on red-alert.' She whimpered.

'I care too much about you to just leave.'He kissed her on the top of her head.'Besides, I can't leave. Your father has me under house arrest.' He pulled her up his body until they were looking into each others eyes and kissed away her tears.

'Um…Kane? Would you like to get up now?' She smiled shyly at him.

'Actually…' He contemplated her question. 'No, but then we have a while to go before we move on to that stage of our relationship.' He stood up and cuddled her in his arms. "Now you go back to your studies and I will go take a nice long ice cold shower." He smiled at her.

"Thank you for understanding." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

"I love you, Angel. I will always try and understand your feelings." He kissed her back and then left her standing in the doorway of her room.

"He loves me!" She squealed happily and collapsed on her bed. 'I love you too, Kane!' She sent.

'I know.' Kane sent back.

Allura was curled up against the cushions in the Gazebo at the center of the garden maze crying. "I want my husband back and I don't care if he can see or not! I just want Keith to hold me in his arms again!" She sobbed against the cushions.

Midnight padded into the gazebo and laid his head in her lap. "Night? Why aren't you with Keith?" She sniffled, as she stroked his velvety fur.

"Yes. Night, why didn't you let me surprise my wife." Keith growled softly.

"Keith, you're back!" She wiped away her tears.

"I'm back to stay. I just needed to be alone for a little while and guess what happened?" He grinned at her and pulled her into his arms.

"What?" She frowned at him.

"You are a most beautiful sight for sore eyes." He kissed her.

"You can see!" She squealed happily. "This is wonderful! Now everything can finally get back to normal again!"

"I'm sorry that I've been a bear around everyone." He growled softly.

"We have some slight problems that we may have to deal with. Cassie and Lance are here and they found Matt and Jen making out in the Sit Room. Oh and Kane and Fawn are falling in love or have fallen in love with each other." Allura filled him in.

"When did all of this happen?" Keith groaned.

"Today after you stalked off," Alley answered.

"They'll just have to wait, because I have months of quality time to make up with you." He growled softly and that was the end of that conversation.

Sheena and Hunk had moved Shaitan and Jace from the prison to the castle and had them caged in a portable energy cage.

"Talk before I make you wish that you had never been born." Hunk activated something inside the cage to persuade him to talk.

"Kill me if you like, but I will not give you any information!" Shaitan snarled and received a shock for not answering the question correctly.

"How the hell can you do this to us? I thought that this was beneath you." Jace snarled at them.

Sheena shut the device off and then reached into the cage. "This is personal, your father went too far this time, and I am going to make sure that he gets what's coming to him!" She hissed at Jace and started to strangle him.

Lance and Cassie walked into the room and were not pleased by what Hunk and Sheena were doing.

"What the hell is going on in here? Why aren't the two of them under high security lock and key in prison?" Lance snarled.

"Sheena? Why aren't those two in the maximum security galactic prison where they belong?" Cassie hissed.

"They'll just escape and then go after us again! So why don't we just eliminate them now!" Sheena snarled back.

Lance couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Let him go, Sheena!" He ordered.

"Stay out of this, Lance!" Hunk snarled.

"Back off, Hunk!" Cassie hissed. "Sheena, let him go!"

"You don't understand, Cassie! So do yourself a favor and leave!" Sheena shouted back.

"I will not leave! Now let him go that is an order from your princess!" Cassie glared at her.

"Then I resign my position as of now." Sheena let Jace go. "Let's go, Hunk, we're going Rand hunting!" She and Hunk went to leave the room.

"Sheena! Wait! Tell us what's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" Cassie ran after her friend.

Sheena stopped and stared back at Cassie. "I'm sorry that it has to be this way, Cass, but I guess that this is goodbye." She vanished from the hallway.

"Sheena, wait!"

"Let her go, Cass." Lance growled softly.

"Talk, Shaitan! Why is she acting like this!?" Cassie hissed at the man in the cage.

"Sheena's lost it." Shaitan growled.

"No! Something happened to her and you are going to tell me what!" She pulled out her phaser and aimed it at him. "Now start talking!"

"You heard my wife start spilling!" Lance snarled.

"Khan drugged Sheena and left her to sleep off the drug. He didn't know that Rand was also in the room. My brother found out something that happened between them in the past, went a little crazy, and took back what was his. That is all that I know!" Shaitan snarled.

Cassie fired a shot at his leg and Shaitan fell to his knees in agony. "He raped her! No wonder she's losing it!"

"Liam! Escort Shaitan and Jace back to prison and shoot to kill if they so much as breathe funny." Lance spotted Liam standing in the doorway.

"No problem, Lance, I heard the whole thing! Move or I break you in half." Liam deactivated the cage.

"Let's go, slime!" Sushi snarled.

"We have to help her, Lance! No wonder she's acting this way!" Cassie clung to him.

"We will, Cass, we will." Lance held her in his arms.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Kitty called to her parents, but they didn't even hear her. "Zach! Jay! Why won't Mommy and Daddy answer me?" Kitty wailed in confusion.

The boys turned to check on their baby sister and watched as their parents ran across the bridge.

"Easy, Kitty, we'll go and find out what's up with Mom and Dad." They tried to calm down their little sister. "You go inside and find Uncle Lance." They took off after their parents.

"Ok, Zach! I'll go find, Uncle Lance." The little girl ran back inside the castle.

(Eric and Andy's)

Andy sat on Eric's lap and watched as Lilly, and the twins played with the cubs.

"This is perfect we're talking again, Daddy can see, and now everything will get back to normal." She sighed in relief.

"Yes, finally, peace and quiet." He turned her in his arms and kissed her.

"Dromi? Can I have a cub?" Lilly asked her sister.

"Sorry, kiddo, but all of the cubs are already spoken for and you have Sugar." Andy frowned at her sister.

"But, I want one too!" She wailed.

"Daddy has Midnight and you already have Sugar your dog." Andy sighed, as she tried to be patient with her sister.

"It's not fair! I want a cub!" She shouted.

"Lilly, the answer is no!" Eric growled at her.

"I want a cub!" She screeched.

"Lilly, stop this at once!" She got up and walked over to pick her up in her arms.

"You're mean, Dromi! I hate you!"

"Go ahead and hate me." She hissed at her sister, as she set her into the air car. "Castle of Lions!" She told the computer. "Now go scream at Mom and Dad!" She locked Lilly in and sent her back to the castle.

Eric walked over and pulled her into his arms. "She'll get over it. I think she just feels left out."

"She's turned into a spoiled brat!"

"You acted just like Lilly when you were her age."

"I did not act like that! I never wanted a pet! Daddy gave me Bandit when I was eight and sick in bed with that awful cold!" Andy glared at him.

"I myself recall that day rather fondly." Eric wiggled his eyebrows playfully at her.

'Behave, Eric!' She picked up Jess.

'Can I help it if that memory makes me all mushy inside?' Eric asked huskily.

'Later, darling' She winked at him.

"Pretty lights!" Jessie pointed to a light blinking on one of the consoles.

"What do you see, Sweetie?" She asked her daughter.

"Darling, someone is in the lair." Eric frowned, as he picked up Jasmine and cuddled her in his arms.

"Okay, Sweetie, its time to play eye spy." She told her child.

"Play spy!" Jessie squealed.

"Computer, activate all defenses and surveillance cameras in the lair."

"Visual acknowledged, the intruders are the Captain of the Royal guard of Ziare and her husband." The computer showed the two intruders on the holo-screen.

"Manual override access code Nightshade-Alpha-one," Andy snapped out the order to the computer.

"Override defenses activated, as are all lair defense systems."

"What are Aunt Sheena and Uncle Hunk doing in there without asking us for permission?" Eric snarled.

"Bad!" Jasmine scolded.

"That's right, baby. It's bad to use other people's equipment without asking." Eric smiled at his daughter.

"This has something to do with Rand. I'd bet my life on it." Andy tried to see what they were up to. "Computer what information were they searching for?"

"They were scanning for any information on Rand's whereabouts."

"I knew it! Aunt Sheena wants revenge on Rand and that's why she's doing this!"

"What happened between Rand and Aunt Sheena?"

"Rand assaulted Aunt Sheena while she was on Khan's base. She was drugged at the time, so she had to tell him some things about the past. Rand realized that he'd made a big mistake in letting her go and decided to try and make up for lost time." Andy recalled what she had seen in her dream.

"You knew all of that and didn't tell me!"

"Listen, Eric! You were unreachable and Uncle Hunk kidnapped me remember!"

"So Hunk did kidnap you!" Eric lost it and Jasmine began to wail at the top of her lungs.

"Now look what you've done! You scared Jasmine." Andy pulled her daughter into her other arm. "Its okay, baby. Daddy is just in shock right now."

'Why didn't you tell me?!'Eric took back Jasmine and began to rock her in his arms.

'I tried to, but you shut down on me, and left me to deal with daddy, the twins, mom, and you alone. Now take Jess while I go see about our visitors.' Andy headed towards the lair.

Keith and Allura walked back into the castle and found little Kitty waiting for them.

"Kitty? What's wrong?" Keith picked the little girl up in his arms.

"Somethin's wrong with Momma and Daddy." She whimpered.

"What do you mean by that, Kitten?" Allura asked softly.

"I called out to 'em and they no even answer me!" She sobbed against Keith's chest. "Zach and Jay went after 'em and told me to come get you." She hiccupped.

'Oh dear, this isn't good at all and Sheena hasn't talked to anyone about what happened.' Allura frowned at Keith.

"Buddy, we have a major problem. Hunk and Sheena went mental and are out for blood against Rand." Lance filled Keith in as soon as he saw them.

"Why is this happening? What went on when she was captured?" Keith growled.

"Come on, Fearless Leader, you know that this comes with the job description."

"Shut up, Lance!" Allura snapped.

"Fine, then I won't tell you that the reason she's gone loony is because Rand physically assaulted her." Lance acted like Keith had hurt his feelings.

"Oh my God!" Allura gasped.

"I will murder him with my bare hands for this!" Keith snarled.

"Not to change the subject or anything, but how long have you known about Matthew and Jenna?" Lance growled.

"Later, Lance, our friends need us. I want everyone in the Sit Room now." Keith snarled.

Andy stayed in the shadows, as she listened to what Hunk and Sheena were saying to each other.

"She shut off the link! Dammit, we were so close!" Sheena snarled.

"We'll get him, Sheena, and then make him pay for what he did to you!"

"Yes, he is going to pay!" Sheena hissed.

Andy took her sword from its place of honor on the wall of the lair and prepared to confront them. "I suggest that you leave my lair before I throw you out!" Her voice echoed off the cavern walls.

"Give me the information that I want and then we will leave!" Sheena snarled back.

"Not a chance in hell, Aunt Sheena. I can't allow you to go after anyone in your mental state!"

Sheena laughed at Andy's tone of voice. "I trained you! I can take you down!"

"Daddy trained me and I seriously doubt that you could take me down before I took you out!" Andy hissed.

"I can't allow you to stop me, Andromeda!"

"But I will, Aunt Sheena, even if it means hurting you and Uncle Hunk."

"You're alone, Andy. I wouldn't try it." Hunk growled.

"Back off, Uncle Hunk!"

Sheena used Andy's voice to locate her position and then stealthily appeared behind her. "Sorry, kiddo." She knocked her out with a Bo staff. "Let's go, Hunk."

The two of them vanished.

Zach and Jay stood in shock, as they watched their parents take out Andromeda.

(She's bleeding, Jay! Go get Eric!) Zach ran over to where Andy lay bleeding on the floor of the lair.

(Did they kill her?) Jay asked.

(I don't think so! Now go get Eric!) Zach growled at his twin, as he tried to find something to put on Dromi's head wound.

"I found Eric!" Jay shouted, as Eric ran into the lair with the girls in his arms.

"Andy! Jay, take the twins! Zach, go to that Computer and call the castle for help. Tell them that Andy is seriously injured!" He ordered the twins, as he tended to Andy's head wound.

(Castle of Lions)

Keith sat at the head of the Sit Room table and was not pleased that Eric and Andy had yet to arrive. "Where are Eric and my Shadow?" He growled.

"Uncle Keith! My parents attacked Andy and she's hurt really bad. Eric wants you to get here now!" Zach's face appeared on the main screen.

"Calm down, Zach. We're on our way. Lance, we need to inform the Galaxy Garrison about this." Keith turned to look at his friend.

"No, Keith! We'll take care of this mess ourselves!" Lance snarled.

"No, Lance! Sheena has gone too far by attacking my baby girl! They will be lucky if they ever see freedom again!" Keith ran out of the room.

"Come on, Jenn. We have some deserters to catch." Matt growled.

"We'll take Neo. Catch ya later." Jenn grinned at his parents.

"Not so fast, you two! We're going to go along with you." Lance frowned.

"Sorry, Dad, but we're the only ones allowed in Neo." They raced for the control room.

Max, Ashley, Kane, Fawn, Nate, and Ariel all arrived at the lair.

"Eric, what happened to her?!" Ariel cried.

"Sheena happened to her!" Eric snarled. "She's been out for at least ten minutes." He spoke to Max and Ashley.

"What did she hit her with?" Ashley examined her head wound.

"I don't like this, her pupil's aren't responding to any stimuli." Max shined a light into Andy eyes.

"I don't know, Ash! I wasn't here!" Eric snarled.

"Easy, buddy," Nate tried to calm him down. "How were you supposed to know that they would hurt Andy?"

(Wake up, sis, before Eric goes insane.)Ariel pleaded with her sister. "Open your eyes, baby sister." She whimpered.

"I'm not sure that it's going to be that easy, Ari. She has a severe concussion and we need to take her back to the castle where Max and I can see if the blow to her head caused any serious damage." Ashley told Ariel.

"Let's get her to the castle now! This blow to her head could cause her to go into shock." Max didn't like what he was getting when he scanned her vitals on his med-scanner.

"Ash! Max! You have to help her wake up!" Eric pleaded with them.

"Aunt Sheena is so nice…Why is she doing this?" Fawn couldn't believe that this was happening.

Kane pulled her into his arms. "She must be seriously disturbed about something."

Keith and Allura raced into the lair. "My baby!" Allura screamed in terror at the sight of Dromi lying lifeless on the floor.

"How bad is it?" Keith knelt down beside his shadow.

"Not good, Dad…She won't wake up..." Eric was on the verge of losing it.

"What made Sheena do this!?" Allura cried.

"I will explain at the castle." Eric snarled, as Andy was transported out of the lair.

Sheena and Hunk dodged Galaxy Garrison squadrons in their quest to find Rand.

"Why did she have to get in my way?" Sheena fought the guilt that tore at her very soul.

"Nothing and no one is gonna stop us from finding Rand!"

"Hunk, we tried to kill our Goddaughter! Getting Rand is not worth hurting our family!"

"He hurt you!" Hunk grumbled.

"I know that Hunk, but we're taking it out on our family!"

"Do you want to find Rand?!"

"Yes! But why am I acting like a mad woman!"

"Because, he hurt you emotionally, as well as physically," Hunk growled.

"That is no excuse for taking my anger out on Andromeda!" She wailed in frustration. "Our family is our enemy now!"

"We go after Rand. No matter what the cost and make him pay!"

"She's in a deep sleep." Ash broke the news to Eric, who throughout the whole ordeal hadn't moved from his wife's side.

"I should have been with her." Eric growled.

Ash watched, as Eric got up to pace the room. "Eric, go and see your daughters and I will tell you if there is any change in her condition." She ordered him out of the room.

"Come on, Dromi! Open your eyes!" Eric sat back down and pleaded with his wife.

"Eric, now!" Ash snapped.

"Not so loud…" Andy croaked hoarsely.

"You're awake." Eric sighed in relief and kissed her.

Andy reacted by cringing in terror. "Who are you?"

"I'm Eric." Eric frowned at her. "Andy? It's me. Eric Lawson your husband."

"I don't remember." She whimpered. "Why can't I remember?"

"Calm down, Andromeda. The blow to your head must have given you amnesia." Ashley tried to calm her friend.

"Where am I?" She gave Eric a desperate look.

"It's okay, sweetheart, you'll remember with time." He tried to comfort her.

"Why does my head feel like there are drums beating inside it?"

"You were hit in the head." Eric tried to explain.

"Why would someone want to hurt me?" She whimpered, as she looked up at him with emotional amber eyes. "Did you hurt me?"

"No! Sweetheart, I didn't hurt you." Eric snapped.

"Now you're mad at me!" She wailed and yanked the tubes out of her arms and from her nose. "I want out of here now!"

Max raced into the room and tried to help her with Andy. "Hold on there, Andromeda. You need to calm down and try to relax." He slapped some pressure bandages onto her bleeding wrist.

Andy stared at the three of them with a wild look in her eyes and began to push and claw herself free. "I don't know any of you people and I'm getting out of here!" She got out of bed and tried to make it to the door.

"Not so fast, my love, if you want to get out of here then I will take you home." He swept her up into his arms and cradled her against him.

"I wish that I could remember you." She whimpered, as she snuggled against his chest.

"I know how to jog your memory." Eric was going to take her to see the twins.

"Where are you taking me?" She frowned.

"You'll see." He growled, passing the family on the way to the playroom.

They all gave them a knowing look.

"Who were they?" She asked.

"I haven't the slightest idea, angel mine." Eric answered her.

Keith gave Allura a strange look. "Why did she just ask him who we were?"

Ash and Max stepped out of Andy's room.

"The good news is that she's awake and appears to be fine." Ash smiled at them.

"The bad news is that she can't remember anything." Max growled.

Keith held Allura in his arms. "My poor, baby. Eric must be going out of his mind." Allura felt helpless.

"He's handling this quite well. I believe that he's taking her to see the twins." Ashley worriedly bit down on her lip.

"She'll be okay, love." Max pulled her into his arms.

"She must be frightened, but all I can sense is that she's very confused." Ariel frowned as she rocked Hunter in her arms.

"Ariel, go try and talk to her. You're her twin sister, so she should remember you." Ash encouraged Ariel to go to Andy.

"I wish that Lexi were here, she could get Andy to remember." Ariel sighed.

"When isn't Andy normal?" A voice teased from the doorway.

"Lexi!" Keith and Allura smiled at their very pregnant daughter.

"In the flesh," She sighed and plopped down onto the sofa.

"Where's Christophe?" Nate grinned.

"He was right behind me." She frowned.

"Don't get all flustered, love. I had to check in with Dad." Chris sat down next to his wife.

"Alex, we have a major problem. Andy has totally lost her memory." Ariel whimpered.

"She's faking, Ari. I only feel a slight headache." Alex smirked.

"She is not faking, Alexandra! She really can't remember anything!" Ash snarled at Alex.

"I'd know, Ashley. This is just another scam of hers."

"Alexandra! She is past her teenage pranks, has more than proven herself as an adult, and has been through hell and back more times than any of you. So lay off her!" Keith snarled at his oldest daughter.

Alex burst into tears in Chris's arms. "I'm sorry, Daddy." She sniffled.

"Just don't jump to conclusions about people, until you know the entire situation." Allura frowned at her.

"She'll be fine, it's just a mood swing." Chris assured them.

Jessie and Jasmine looked up at their parents when they entered the playroom. "Momma gots owie," Jessica pointed to the bandage on her mother's head.

"Yes, Jessica. Mommy has an owie." He chuckled at his daughter. "These are our girls." Eric set Andy onto her feet.

Andy stared wide-eyed at the two identical faces looking up at her. "Hello, little ones…" She whispered, as she tried desperately to remember who they were.

"Momma hurt." Jasmine frowned at her father.

"I can't deal with this!" Andy ran from the room in tears.

"Andy!" Eric shouted.

"Momma mad!" the girls burst into tears.

"No…No…darlings. Mommy is just a little confused right now." Eric tried to calm them down. And when that didn't work, he carried them to their big girl room, adjoining their own castle quarters, for a nap.

Andy ran blindly out of the room and into her father's arms.

"Easy, Dromi. I've got you." He growled softly.

Andy felt safe and secure in his arms. "Why can't I remember anyone?" She sobbed.

Keith hugged her fiercely and then let her go. "You are my daughter and no bump on the head is going to stop you from doing anything." He told her sternly.

"Daddy? I'm sorry, but I don't remember you." She sniffled.

"We will figure out how to get your memory back." He tried to reassure her.

"Hello ,Andromeda. I'm Ariel, I know you're scared and I want to help you." She smiled at her sister.

"I know you, but I can't remember how." Andy sighed in frustration.

"Andromeda Marie, this has to be the lowest thing that you have ever sunk to." Alexandra snapped.

"I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about." Andy frowned at the very pregnant woman standing in front of her. "Who are you?" She asked and gave Alex a blank stare.

"Alexandra your big sister by five minutes." She snapped in frustration.

"If you say so, but the only thing that I do know about you is that you need serious help." Andy turned on her heel and walked back down the corridor to her and Eric's quarters.

"Alex, she isn't faking, because if she were you would be dead right now!" Ariel hissed.

"Alexandra, I am not amused! How dare you treat your sister like that when she is unable to defend herself!" Allura snarled at her child.

"Mother!" Alex wailed. "Why are you taking her side?" She ran to find Chris.

"Ariel, go try and soothe your sister's ruffled feathers." Keith sighed in frustration.

"Sure, Daddy. I'll get Hunter, she can hold him. He can charm anyone." Ariel went to go cheer up her sister.

"Calm down, angels, please!" Eric begged his daughters to stop crying.

"Momma!" They howled.

Andy walked into the room and instinctively went over to her babies. "Shush, little ones." She cooed down at them and picked up her daughters one in each arm and took them over to the rocker. "There now are Mommy's, little angels, feeling better?" She smiled at them.

"Are you remembering the twins?" Eric smiled at her.

"Yes, these are my daughters Jessica Raven and Jasmine Elizabeth." She smiled down at them. "Everything else is still a complete blank." She sighed. "Tell me about everything and don't leave out any details."

"Uh, well…" Eric was at a loss as to where to start.

"My poor baby, are you okay?" Allura breezed into the room.

"She's fine, Mom. She remembered the girls." Eric grinned.

"Are you my mother?" Andy stared at her.

"Yes."

"Then that explains Alexandra's actions." She mused. "So she truly is my sister. No wonder I don't want to remember anything."

"Ariel is also your sister. The three of you are triplets." Allura explained.

"Let me get this straight. Alexandra is the perfect princess. Ariel is the peace keeper, and I'm…Oh that's right, I don't know who I am!" She got up and handed Eric their sleeping daughters. "I can't handle this!" She stalked out of the room.

"She's the stubborn pigheaded one." Keith growled.

"At least she calmed the twins down." Eric set the girls into their beds. "Watch them will you. I have to go find out where she fled.

"She went to Darian's, only I don't think that she's going to react well to him…" Allura sighed.

Zach and Jay emerged from their hiding places in the back of their parent's ship.

(Did you hear anything?)Jay asked.

Zach tried to concentrate on his parents voices. (Dad's not, Dad anymore. He has completely flipped.) He frowned at his brother.

(What about Mom?) Jay asked.

(She seems to be snapping out of it.) Zach smiled.

(Why are they doing this, Zach? It doesn't make sense!) Jay growled in frustration.

(Shh! I can't hear and listen to you at the same time!) Zach hissed. "Mom was attacked!" He snarled angrily, causing Jay to silence his brother by covering his mouth with his hand.

(They'll hear you, Zach! Now what are you talking about who hurt mother!?) Jay snarled.

(Rand!) Zach hissed.

Andy used only instincts to guide her to her destination, a castle in the mountains, Darian and Allana's home. "What am I doing here?" She moaned.

"Talking to your-self as usual," A voice spoke to her out of nowhere.

"Who's there?" She stammered.

"Nice try, Dromi. You know perfectly well who I am." Darian growled.

"Yes…you are a figment of my imagination caused by the blow to my head." She informed her delusion.

"Who hit you on the head?" Darian frowned in confusion, appearing in front of her.

"Don't hurt me!" She cried out in terror when she saw that he had fangs. "I've got my cross!" She held up her medallion.

"Sweetie, I gave you that cross fifteen years ago." Darian arched a brow at her.

"Why did I come here to you?"

"Because, little blossom, I've always been your best friend, mentor, and sounding-board. You trust me completely." He smiled at her.

"So you're my friend?" She asked warily.

"Yes and I'm godfather to your twins. So I take it that the blow to your head gave you a case of amnesia." Darian sat down beside her on the grass.

"My memory is a total blank." She nodded.

"Who hit you, Andy?" He frowned.

"I can't remember or I don't want to remember." She hissed in frustration.

"Hey, easy, Little Blossom, its Darian and I always find a solution to your problems." He winked at her.

"If you say so, Darian," She wasn't sure if she trusted him or not. "Just one little question…um…Why do you have fangs?"

"That's a very long story, Princess, but to make a long story short…I'm immortal." Darian grinned at her.

"You're a…a…a…Vampire! You have fangs!" She screamed and ran for her life.

"Why me!" Darian rolled his eyes heavenward and went to go get her.

"Stay away from me or I'll scream!" She backed away from him in terror.

"Listen, Andy. I'm not a neck biter or a blood drinker…I'm cured except for the fangs and eternal life, I'm harmless." He tried to calm her down.

"Stay away!"

"I never thought that I would see the day that Princess Andromeda would scream and runaway in terror. You would rather be shot than runaway from anything or anyone." Darian taunted her.

"I can't fight you! I don't know how to fight!"

Darian roared with laughter. "You have no idea who you are or what you're capable of doing."

"Why are you laughing at me? This isn't funny!" She fumed.

"Yes it is, Andy! You happen to be one of the most feared people in the universe and now you've been reduced to cowering like a spoiled rotten little Princess." He gasped for air, as he tried to stop laughing.

"Are you all insane?!" She wailed and ran off into the forest.

Eric flew Blacky over the forest and tried to spot his wife. "Come on, babe, this in no time for you to hide from me." He growled.

"She doesn't seem to want to be found does she?"Blacky was also worried about Andy.

"No she doesn't, buddy, and that's what worries me."Eric sighed in frustration.

"Keith wants to speak with you. Shall I patch him through or tell him that you're trying to focus on finding Dromi?" Blacky informed him.

"Patch him through, Blacky. There's no sense getting him more upset than he already is."Eric sighed.

"Well, have you found her yet?" Keith's face appeared on the screen.

"No, not yet…How did she react to Darian?" Eric asked, as he caught a glimpse of Shadow on the ground.

"She ran in terror." Keith groaned.

"And to think you used to wish that she were a normal girl." Eric grinned. "Dad, I think I've found her."

"Where?"

"In a tree with Shadow staring up at her," Eric chuckled.

"I want Holos." Keith chuckled.

"Already one step ahead of you, Dad." Eric landed in a clearing. "We'll talk later. I must rescue my damsel in distress." He winked at Keith and ended the call. "Holos, Blacky, lots and lots of Holos."

"She is never going to live this one down is she?" Blacky chuckled.

"Not a chance, pal, not a chance." Eric smirked.

Andy stared wide-eyed at the massive Black Panther sitting at the base of the tree. "Go away!" She hissed at it in terror.

The cat simply stared at her, as if this were some sort of new game, and waited for her to come down from her perch in the tree.

"Please go away!" She threw her slipper to try and distract him.

The cat growled at her in confusion, went to go fetch her slipper, and then brought it back to her.

"Scat, cat! I wouldn't make a good meal…I'm damaged goods." She pointed desperately to the bandage on her head.

"Shadow, what have you cornered this time?" Eric was standing next to the cat. "Hello, beautiful…Are you having fun?" He grinned up at her.

"Why isn't he hurting you?" She whimpered.

"Because he knows who's master and who's not." Eric scratched Shadow behind his ears.

"He's yours?" She frowned.

"No, darling, he's yours." Eric winked at her. "Come down from that tree, he's harmless."

Andy warily climbed down from the tree. "Mine?" She gasped when he pounced on her and began to purr and lick her face.

"Yeah, all two hundred fifty pounds of him." Eric chuckled.

"Get him off of me! He's ruining my dress!" She pushed at Shadow to try to get him to move.

"Shadow, she isn't herself today, so lay off her." Eric ordered the cat and Shadow headed for home.

"Just look at my dress! That fur ball chased me up that tree and I tore it!" She snarled, as she looked at the shredded remains of the skirt of her dress.

"So what, Andy, you hate dresses anyway." Eric reached out to rip the skirt of her dress until it resembled a mini-dress.

"Hey! Stop that!" She hissed and tried to push him away from her, but she lost her balance, and landed flat on her back with Eric on top of her. "Let me up!"

"No, Love, this is where you belong safe in my arms." He kissed her.

'Why did she have to hit me like that? I was only trying to help her! She was so cold to me and then she left me for dead!' Andy sobbed, as Sheena's betrayal finally hit her like a brick wall.

"I didn't want to remember what she did!" She pounded her fists against Eric's chest.

"I know, baby. So that was why you woke up with no memory. You refused to admit that Aunt Sheena did this to you." He growled into her hair and cradled her in his arms.

"It was like I was in this dark room and I couldn't find my way out." She whimpered.

Eric rained kisses all over her face. 'I've got you, love, you're safe with me.'

"Make everything go away. Please, Eric…even if it is just for a little while." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

"I'm sorry that I wasn't there to stop Sheena." He deepened the kiss.

'I don't care, Eric. Just make everything go away.' She purred back.

'As you wish,' He growled huskily.

Zach and Jay snuck around the ship, as they tried to think of a plan. (We can't fight our parents. There is no way that we could win.) Jay groaned, as he munched on his ration bar.

(Listen to me, Jay…I know that you're sacred, but we have to stop them before they hurt anyone else.) Zach slammed his fist against a table.

(We need to call for back up.) Jay felt the ship land.

(There's no time for that, Jay. They've landed the ship.) He hissed back, as their parents passed the galley.

Sheena stopped at the doorway and frowned. "We're not alone."

Hunk drew his gun and opened the door. "Come out and you won't be harmed."

Zach and Jay felt like running in terror. "Chill out, Dad, it's us!" Zach held his hands up in surrender.

Hunk stared at his sons in surprise. "Zachary! Jason! Why aren't you at home?"

"That's an excellent question, Father…Why aren't you and Mother at home?" Zach mimicked his father's tone.

"Yeah, Mother! Why aren't you at home? Did you know that Kitty is scared out of her mind?" Jay scolded his parents.

"Kitty? Where is your sister?" Sheena asked worriedly.

"She's back on Arus with Uncle Lance and Aunt Cassie. She called out to you when you ran out of the castle." Zach growled at his parents.

"Yeah, so we decided to follow you and sent her up to the castle. We saw everything that you did to Andy!" Jay glared at his parents.

"You left her there to die! Because of you she may never wake up again!" Zach snarled.

"She was only knocked out, Zachary. We did not seriously injure her." Hunk frowned at his son.

"She's in a coma?" Sheena was instantly raked with guilt.

"I'm embarrassed to call you our parents!" Zach shouted.

"What the two of you did was inexcusable!" Jay shouted at them and then ran from the room.

"Jay!" Zach ran after him.

"Get back here, you two!"

"We are on Rand's planet and our boys just ran out into god knows what!" Sheena ran after the boys.

Matt and Jenna tried to contact Hunk and Sheena's ship. "They aren't answering, Jenn. Where is the Explorer?" He frowned.

"Four hours away, because of your false coordinates that you gave them." Jenna grinned.

"Boy, is Uncle Jeff steamed at us! We'll be lucky if we don't get court marshaled ourselves."

"We've got company, Matt, and it looks like Khan is here to." Jenna tried not to panic.

"We're gonna need help, Jenn. I think it's time to call Eric." Matt evaded Khan's ship. "Shit! What the hell did we just stumble onto!?"

"Khan also wants Rand! That has to be it!" Jenn hissed back.

"Uncle Keith? This is, Matt, we've got a major situation over here on Rand's home-world." Matt informed the second image that appeared on his screen.

"Jeff wants to talk to you about your little wild goose chase. I however would like an explanation, as to why the two of you are there in the first place!" Keith snarled at them.

"Someone had to go after Sheena!" Jenn snapped.

"The two of you are way too young to handle Khan's men alone!"

"You are also junior officers in the Galaxy Garrison and you didn't even tell Eric where you were going!" Jeff snarled at them.

"Eric was too busy to send us after them." Jenn protested.

"That is not the point! You took off without telling anyone where you were going!" Jeff snarled.

"Jenna, cut that transmission now!" Matt shouted.

"Why!? What's going on?!" Jenna and Jeff spoke at the same time.

"Khan's ship is about to swallow Neo whole!" Matt panicked, as they were caught in a tractor beam.

"Calm down, kid. Help is on the way, but it would have already been there had you given us your location in the first place!" Jeff snarled before the transmission was completely cut off.

"It's okay, Jenn…We're safe, as long as we remain in the ship." Matt pulled her into his arms.

"Well…well…well what do we have here?" Khan's face appeared on the screen.

"On second thought start panicking!" Jenna glared at him.

"Of all the stupid childish pranks to pull!" Neo snarled at the two of them. "I am seriously having doubts as to whether the two of you should be allowed to fly me anymore!"

"Yell at us later, Neo! That is if Khan doesn't kill us!" Matt hissed.

"Jenn's mother is with Khan, so I seriously doubt that he's going to harm you or Jenna." Neo informed them.

"Mother?!" Jenn frowned.

"Worry about it later…." Matt hissed.

(Arus)

Keith sent Nate and Ariel to try and find Eric and Andromeda.

"Ari, there's Blacky so where are Eric and Andy?" Nate frowned, as they scanned the forest for any sign of them.

"The hunky Captain and Dromi may not want to be disturbed right now." Cora informed him.

"I see what you mean, Cora! She must have her memory back!" Ari grinned, as she pointed down at the couple entwined in each other's arms.

Nate looked at Eric and Andy and then over at his wife. "Looks like fun…" He wiggled his eyebrows playfully at her. "I say we go home." He leaned over and nibbled on her ear lobe.

"Behave, Nathan!" Ariel swatted his hands away. "How are we going to get their attention?"

"Careful, handsome, remember that those two have quite a temper and you don't want to be stuck on graveyard for two weeks." Cora warned. "But on second thought it would be fun, so go ahead and do exactly what you're thinking."

"That's the idea, kitty cat, that's the idea." Nate patted the console affectionately.

"Ready when you are, sugar." The cat purred.

"Shall I leave the two of you alone?" Ari arched a brow at him.

"No need to be jealous, Ari…I'm just a harmless flirt." Cora sighed. "He's fine, but not as fine as my Lance."

"See, honey, she's still devoted to Lance." Nate winked at her. "Hey, lovebirds! I hate to interrupt, but we have a code red situation developing on Triton and that means that your fun will have to be postponed until we get back." Nate announced to them over the outside speakers of his Tiger.

"What the hell was that!?" Eric grabbed his shirt to cover Andy and then got dressed. "This had better be good, Nathan!"

Andy was blushing crimson from her head to her toes. "Yes, your very life depends on it!" She pulled on the shirt and glared up at Cora hovering above them.

"So our Andy's back in top form again that's great!" Nate answered them.

:My form is none of your business! But if you must know, yes I have my memory back!: Andy hissed. "Ow! My head hurts!" She winced in pain, as her headache returned full force.

"Andy?" Eric swept her up into his arms. "You should be in bed."

"I'm fine…Did you know that I can see two of you?" She blinked up at him in an attempt to clear her vision.

"Andy? Are you dizzy?" Eric set her down on of the seats in Blacky, after he dressed her in one of her flight suits.

"Yes…" Andy blacked out in her seat.

"Princess!" Blacky only waited for Eric to sit before he shot towards the castle at mach 4.

"I know what you're thinking, Blacky, and you're right, but one look into her amber eyes and I'm her willing slave." Eric sighed in frustration.

"Don't lay your guilt on me…it's Max and Ashley that are going to hang you by your toes." Blacky growled.

"Did you find her?" Jetta shot out of the lake in front of them.

"Yes, we did, Jetta, but she seems to have blacked out because of her anger towards Nathan." Blacky informed her.

"She should be in bed!" Jetta snarled at Eric.

"All right, I get the picture. Now get out of my way, so that we can land and get Andy back inside!" Eric rolled his eyes in frustration.

"I'm sorry, Captain, but she's very important to me and I worry…" Jetta whimpered.

"I know that, Jetta, but this is Andy and she had other things on her mind than going back to the castle…." Eric sighed. "I'll take care of her, you just go back to your nap."

"Yes, captain." Jetta returned to the lake.

"Don't look at me…. She's just like the Princess." Blacky growled.

"So I noticed." Eric groaned.

Keith paced the Sit Room floor and watched as Black Lion landed right on the castle lawn and Eric raced into the castle with Andy in his arms. "What happened she was fine when he found her!?" He ran from the room.

Allura and Fawn were already running down the hallway towards the medical wing.

'Something's Wrong with Andy!' She sent.

'Not Again!' He groaned in frustration.

Eric rushed Andy to the Medical wing and straight past Max and Ashley. "She passed out again! What's going on?! She was fine a little while ago, even her memory is back." He demanded an answer from his two friends, after he set Andy down on the examination table.

"What happened to her dress? Why is she wearing her flight suit?" Ashley glared at Eric.

"Easy, love…I know that you hate it when this happens to Andy, but taking your fury out on Eric isn't going to help matters any." Max whispered into her ear.

"Start talking!" Ashley snarled, as she began picking out the leaves that she was finding throughout Andy's long main of hair.

"She was frightened of Shadow, so I rescued her from the tree. Which really tore up her dress, so I fixed it for her…She however didn't want me to help her, so she pushed me away from her, which caused her to lose her balance, and we both took a tumble in the grass. She wanted to get up, but I couldn't resist kissing my wife…and then all of her memory came flooding back to her. She didn't want to think about what had happened so we… the rest is none of your business!" Eric's face grew red with embarrassment.

"That explains part of what happened, but what caused her to pass out?" Max frowned.

Eric's face grew an even darker shade of red, but he answered Max's question. "Nate and Ari were sent to get us and…Well, we weren't too happy to see them and Andy was so embarrassed, because, well, you know how Nate can tease…so she lost her temper." He felt like a teenager caught making out for the first time.

"Eric, she is still suffering from a severe blow to the head! So a lot of active movements can cause her to have a relapse!" Ashley snarled at him.

"She was perfectly fine until Nate showed up! That is the only reason that she passed out!" Neither one of them noticed the crowd that was gathering just outside the room.

"I swear, Eric! It's like the two of you can't keep your hands off of each other for five minutes!" Ashley checked Andy's vital signs, as Max made sure that she hadn't done any more damage to her head.

"Yeah, like you and Max aren't the same way! The only difference is that Andy and I are married and you two refuse to set a date for your wedding!" Eric snarled back.

"Calm down, guys, we are drawing a crowd!" Max hissed.

:Will you both shut up! My head feels like its splitting already.: Andy moaned and put her hand to her head.

'Sorry, darling.' Eric lowered his voice and sat down on a stool beside the exam table.

"I may have been out, but I started coming to when you started snarling at each other." Andy opened her eyes to glare at the two of them.

"You shouldn't have run away like that." Max frowned at her.

"I needed to be by myself, so that I could think…" Andy whimpered.

"I just wish that you would try and listen to me…I hate watching you hang to life by a thread and it gets harder every time that I have to patch you up again." Ash sighed in defeat.

"Let's get her settled into one of the rooms." Max growled.

"Don't we have a mission to go on?" Andy frowned.

"I have a mission to go on. You are staying here to heal and no arguments." Eric picked her up in his arms.

'Fine you win, but I'll stay at home and not here. Fawn and Kane can watch me. Please, Eric…I couldn't stand my parents and Alex hovering over me!' Andy pleaded to him with her eyes.

'Promise me.' He growled.

'I promise on the very lives of our twins and our future children.' She vowed.

"Not good enough, sweetness, considering when you were in labor with the twins…you said that you would kill me if I ever did that to you again." He growled softly, as he walked past the rest of the family standing outside in the hallway.

"You are just going to have to trust me." She blinked innocently up at him.

"Stay out of the lair and I repeat no begging for information on the mission." Eric frowned at her.

"I promise." She smiled.

"Kane. Fawn. Go get the girls. You're going to make sure that Andy stays put." Eric turned to look at the two teens.

"I can handle that." Kane grinned at Eric and led Fawn towards the playroom.

(Khan's ship)

"Mother, since when are you chained to anyone's throne?" Jenna gaped at the sight of her mother sitting meekly beside Khan.

"Hello, daughter. Why are you here?" Kari snapped.

"Gee, mom, I don't know…I came looking for Daddy and found Khan instead." Jenna hissed in a sarcastic voice.

"Don't you just love family reunions?" Khan grinned at Matt.

"Shut up, Khan! What the hell is going on here and why did you capture our ship?" Matt tried to act like he wasn't afraid of Khan.

:Listen, brat! Do you recall what I did to Kane and he was my own son!: Khan slashed Matt across his cheek with his whip.

"Leave him alone!" Jenna shouted at Kahn.

"So she does have your temper." Khan used his mind on Jenna and had her holding her head in agony in mere moments.

"What are you doing to her?!" Matt lunged at Khan and caught him off guard landing a kick to Khan's side.

"Why you, little pain!" Khan sent Matt flying into a far wall.

"Look… Jenna…stars." Matt groaned out loud before he lost consciousness.

"Matt!" Jenna broke the hold that Khan had on her mind and raced over to Matt's side.

"Jenna, we need to get you a new suitor…this one is so unworthy of you." Kari was not impressed.

"Mother! My love life is none of your business!" Jenna snarled. "Get your hands off of me!" She screeched when some of Khan's men pulled her away from Matt.

Four of them went flying and the other three were about to join them, when Khan's whip wrapped around her throat and cut off her ability to breath.

"Heal, pet!" Khan snarled, as he pulled her towards him.

"Khan, let her go! She can't breathe!" Kari snarled at him.

"She reminds me of a younger version of Andromeda." He put a finger under Jenna's chin and made the girl look up at him.

She glared daggers at him, as she clawed at the whip that was still wrapped around her throat.

"A pity that she only mimics my future queen," Khan sighed. "Take her and her boyfriend to their cell." He barked at his men.

"You hurt her and I will cut your heart out!" Kari snarled.

"I wouldn't threaten the man who holds your leash!" He snarled back.

"Rand will come for me." She hissed back.

"Rand loves my sister. He always has and could care less for you. His only downfall was when he took something from Sheena that was not freely given to him." Khan growled.

"You lie!" She screeched.

"Am I?" He snarled.

"Yes!" She hissed.

"See for yourself!" Khan activated a screen and showed her some of the security cam footage from Sheena's room.

Kari broke free of her leash and ran from the room in tears.

(Planet Triton)

Rand stood in front of another one of Khan's portals, this one a time portal, and set the coordinates to when he and Sheena were lovers. "You will be mine again. I will not make the same mistake twice." He growled softly, as he clipped a time retrieval device onto his belt.

"Sire! Khan's shuttle has landed at the palace!" Devon's servant reported to him.

"It's now or never, Rand…are you sure that you want to go through with this?" Devon frowned at him.

"Yes, this way I will be rid of my traitorous daughter and my cowardly son." He stepped into the portal, just as Sheena's boys ran into the room.

"Where did you two come from?" Devon frowned at the twins.

"Awesome a time portal!" Zach headed for the open portal.

"No, Zach! That is too dangerous and we have no idea where it leads to!" Jay grabbed his brother by the arm and pulled him away from the portal.

"Where's Rand!" Hunk and Sheena shouted, as they entered the room.

"Yes where is, Rand?!" Khan snarled, as his men surrounded the room…two pulled Zach and Jay away from the portal, while the other deactivated it. "Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?"

Zach and Jay stared at their Uncle in awe.

"Who are you?" Zach asked him.

"I happen to be your Uncle Khan. Do you like what you see?" He asked the boy. "Zachary, this could all be yours one day."

"Stay away from him, Khan!" Sheen shouted at her brother.

"How does it feel to be on my side of the coin?" Khan sneered at his sister.

"I didn't mean to! She wouldn't have understood!" Sheena shouted back in her defense.

"You are no better than he is, mother!" Jay snarled.

"Do not raise your voice to your mother like that!" Hunk snarled.

"He does have a point." Khan smirked.

"Stay out of this!" The three of them glared at Khan.

(Andy and Eric's home)

Andy woke up from her drug-induced sleep and dug into her nightstand for her headset. "So, love of my life, fill me in." She purred into her Mic, which was a direct link to Blacky.

"Andromeda Marie Edwards Lawson! You promised!" He snarled at her.

"I am in bed, Eric! In fact, I happen to be wearing my red silk teddy…you know the one with all those ribbons that you like to undo." She purred.

Eric squirmed in his pilot seat, very relieved that this was on a closed channel. "You know what I meant!" He growled.

"You never said anything about our little communicators." She pouted.

"What do you want…" He sighed in defeat.

"What do you think I want…" She purred back.

Blacky nose-dived out of control for a few minutes. "It is not going to work, brat! So just go back to bed!" He snarled at her, as he righted his lion.

"What's up, Eric?" Nate's face appeared on the screen.

"I'm fine there was just a glitch in these new controls." He lied to his friend.

"That was your fault, not mine!" Blacky snarled.

Nate chuckled when Eric's face turned bright red. "Tell Dromi hello for us." He grinned at Eric before signing off.

"Matt and Jenn are with Khan and so are Hunk, Sheena, and the twins." Andy informed Eric. "Face it, Eric, you and I are a team." She purred. "You need me."

"I need you alive and well for the rest of our lives and that is why you are home in bed." He tried to remain patient with her.

"I've been thinking about our girls and I have decided that I want a miniature version of you."

"I'll be glad to help you with your little project as soon as I get home. So I would suggest that you try and get some sleep, because you're gonna need it." He growled back.

"I will hold you to that promise. I love you, so be careful." She frowned.

"Love you too, Dromi, and I will show you how much when I get home." He grinned.

(Khan's ship)

Jenna paced the room, as she continued to try and find a way to escape her cell.

"It's hopeless, Jenn. I've already gone over the entire room and its escape proof." Matt looked over at her.

"There has to be a way out!" She felt like the walls were closing in on her.

"Calm down, Jenna. Panicking won't help you get out of here." He got up and walked over to her.

"I am not panicking!" She hissed.

"Yes you are, Jenna… you're almost ready to claw at the walls in order to get out of here." Matt growled softly.

"I hate closed in spaces, Matt!" She screamed at him in frustration.

"Jenna, its okay. I'm here with you, so you don't need to be afraid." Matt pulled her into his arms and held her.

"Please get me out of here!" She sobbed.

"That does it!" Matt carried her over to the bunk and set her down, before he ran at the door and began to try and kick it in. "Let us out!" He fell back in surprise when the door opened and found Kari standing in the doorway.

"Matthew, move your sorry ass and get my daughter out of here!" Kari ordered the teen after seeing what was happening to her baby girl.

"Mother? But how did you get out of your chains?" Jenna sniffled.

"I was only playing along with him. No one chains me up and lives to tell about it." Kari snarled. "I draw the line at him capturing my daughter and then locking her up in this tiny cell!"

"I knew that you still cared about her, Kari. I just didn't think that you would let her suffer like this!"

"She betrayed me, Matthew, so call this tough love." She sneered at him.

"Thank you, mother," Jenna stood up and hugged her mother.

"I love you, Jenna, but we're on different sides now." She sighed.

"I know, but I still love you." Jenna loved being held by her mother again.

"Are you truly happy?" She frowned at her daughter.

"I've found where I truly belong. I'm sorry if that hurts you, but I was meant to be with everyone on Arus. I really feel that I'm home when I'm around them." Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she looked at the hurt look that her mother was giving her.

"I've always know where you belonged. I should have let my father raise you. Maybe, he still would be alive if I had." She let her true emotions show for a few minutes. "Now go…before I change my mind and remember this I won't help you again." She pushed Jenna at Matt.

"If you hurt her, I will hunt you down, and cut you apart." Kari glared at Matt before she vanished.

"Bye, Mother, and thank you for understanding." She whispered, as they went to go find Neo.

(Eric and Andy's)

Andy snuck by the two teenagers necking on her couch and entered the girls' playroom. She carefully touched a spot on the wall and the wall moved revealing the entrance to her lair.

"Hal, I want Hermes to scan Triton for the team, the twins, and their parents." Andy ordered softly, as she sat down in the very comfortable leather chair in front of the vast computer console.

"Yes, mistress, I will begin the scan at once…the traitors are with the twins in the palace. Khan's army is there with them…" Hal remarked. "Mistress, you promised the Captain that you would stay in bed…"

Hal was Andy's latest creation, an artificial life form that lived inside the mainframe of the computer. All that there was of him was a four dimensional face on her computer screen that could feel, react, and show any kind of human expression or emotion.

"What Eric doesn't know won't hurt him…now please get me a visual of the Palace and have Hermes up-link to the palace's computer system. I want a virtual layout of the entire Palace." Andy continued to give him orders.

"Already done…I detect that their time device was recently activated and Rand was the one that entered the portal…" Hal frowned.

"What was it set at?"

"Planet Ziare when Sheena was in her late teens."

"Locate Matt and Jenn." She frowned.

"They are in Neo and headed for the planet…I am establishing a link now…."

"Jenn, this is Andy. I need you to go to your grandfather's palace, ignore everyone, and go to these coordinates that Hermes has fed into Neo. You'll see a time portal, go into it, and bring back your father before he changes the past and destroys this future. I now have total control over the palace. Good luck. I've had Hermes duplicate a time retrieval device, so that you'll be able return back home. I'm sending little Hermes with you, so that he can guide you where to go once you arrive at your destination." Andy finished briefing Matt and Jenna.

"What happened?" Matt frowned.

"Jenn's father has gone back into the past to correct the mistake that caused him to lose Aunt Sheena. You must stop him, Jenna, your very life depends on it." Andy sighed.

"I'll bring my father back." Jenn frowned at Andy's image, as she ended the transmission.

"If you don't, you won't even be a memory." Andy's head began throbbing again and she rubbed her fingertips against her temples.

"That does it, mistress! Go back to bed!" Hal hissed.

"I'm fine, Hal!" She snapped.

"Now! You need to rest; there isn't anything else that you can do." He hissed back.

"In a little while, I want to have a little fun first." She glared at her creation.

Eric entered the palace and was surprised to find all of its systems down. "What happened here?" He frowned.

"I don't know, but all of the guards were attacked by their own security system." Nate grinned.

"I can't even access the main system…someone else has control of it." Ariel frowned.

"Khan must be having a conniption." Eric smirked.

Khan threw a guard into the far wall. "What is going on here!?" He roared, as the palace security systems attacked his own men.

"Even the computer seems to hate you, big brother." Sheena smirked.

"Who's controlling this?" The twins wondered, as men began running for any cover they could find.

"It reminds me of Patrick's handy work." Hunk frowned.

"Yes, but he's on Ziare with Myria. How could he possibly know about this situation?" Sheena frowned. "That must mean that Andy is okay!" She sighed in relief.

Andy made sure that none of Khan's men laid a finger on Eric or the rest of the team, by siccing the security system on Khan's men. Her main focus however was on Khan himself. She had him hanging over a spiked pit, after he had fallen into one of his own traps. There was a chain attached to his legs that gave him a shock every twenty seconds.

"Get me down, you idiots! I am tired of this retched planet!" He snarled at his men.

"Yes, master." A guard bowed to him and then released him using his laser sword.

"Let us leave this cursed planet!" He stalked out of the room, just as Eric and his team arrived on the scene.

"Where's Khan?" Nate surveyed the room.

"Gone like the coward he is." Sheena frowned at Eric who was glaring icily at them.

"I have orders to bring you back with us to Arus, where you will face the charges of attempted murder on the Crowned Princess of Arus."

"Attempted murder?" Sheena gasped. "I wasn't trying to kill her."

"Cracking her head open with a metal bow staff is attempted murder in my eyes. You are lucky that I don't give you the same treatment right now!" Eric snarled at her, his lion gold eyes blazing with fury that he was barely keeping in check.

"Are you threatening my wife?" Hunk snarled.

"No! I am arresting you for trying to murder my wife!" Eric placed bindings on their wrists. "Let's go! I still have to find Matt and Jenna!" Eric shoved them at Nate and the others and stalked from the room.

"We told you that you were in big trouble! Now you're going to prison and we'll be parentless!" The twins hissed at their parents.

"Let's go, guys. Don't worry, even if your parents end up going to prison for a while, you'll still be well taken care of." Ariel herded the boys out of the room.

Jenna and Matt entered the portal and used their little device to seal the opening. "Let's go find your father, before he erases you from existence." Matt headed for the main palace on Ziare.

"Matt? What if we can't stop him?" Jenna frowned.

"I will love you forever and that isn't going to change." He growled.

"I love you so much…" Jenna fought back her tears.

(Hours later on Arus)

Eric found Andy asleep in bed exactly where she was supposed to be. So he went to take a shower before he woke her from her slumber.

"She's sound asleep, so that means that she actually did what she was told." Eric sighed, as he let the water wash away some of the tension that had been plaguing him all day. "Since when does she ever do what I tell her?" He frowned, as he exited the shower stall and reached for his robe.

He stalked out of the bathroom, went to the playroom to access the entrance to the Lair. "Hal, was Andromeda in the lair while I was gone?!" He barked at the face on the screen.

"No comment." Hal eyed Eric warily.

"Listen, Hal…I can disconnect your circuits in less than a second."

"She was here for a short while, but then had to return to her sleeping chambers after complaining of a headache." He explained hastily.

Eric noticed that there were time coordinates on one of the other computer screens. "What have you been up to, Hal?" He narrowed his eyes at the face on the main monitor.

"Rand has gone back in time to correct a mistake that he made when he was a young man or so the mistress surmised."

"Who was sent after him?" Eric noticed that two others had also entered the portal.

"Prince Matthew and Jenna." He answered.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Eric groaned. "Shut down, Hal, and relax…I won't tell Andy that you snitched on her."

"Thank you, Captain. I hope that you and the mistress enjoy the rest of your evening." Hal sighed in relief.

"Oh I will, my friend…that is after I talk with my wife." Eric stalked out of the lair and headed back towards the master bedroom.

Andromeda lay innocently in bed waiting for her husband to join her.

Eric reached down, carefully picked her up in his arms, and carried her towards the master bath.

"Eric? What are you doing?" She yawned sleepily.

Eric smiled down at her, as if nothing were wrong. "I just got in and didn't feel like showering alone." He placed a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose.

"So how did the mission go?" She asked sleepily, as he undressed her.

Eric pulled her with him into the shower. "Boring nothing really happened." He turned on the water so that it was on a warm setting.

'Boring, huh…' She sighed.

'Yes very dull; except the entire Palace security system seemed to be controlled by someone else. Any guess as to who that person was?' He frowned at her.

'How would I know, Eric? I've been cooped up here in our room.' She pouted.

Eric stepped out of the shower and then set the water temperature to freezing cold. 'Wrong answer! Now start talking!'

'What's the big idea, Eric?' She screeched. "Let me out of here!"

Eric reached in and turned the water back to a warmer setting, before he got back into the shower, and cornered her against one of the tiled walls. "Did you or did you not go into the lair!"

Andy knew when her husband's temper was way past the red line, but didn't want to admit that she hadn't done as he had asked her to do. 'No, I stayed in bed.'

"Fine, Andromeda Marie! I'm getting the girls and we are gonna stay at the castle until you decide to act your age and stop playing these childish games!" He left the shower, grabbed a towel, and stalked out of the room.

'Eric! Wait! Don't go!' She wrapped a towel around her chased after him.

Eric turned on his heel and glared at her. 'Well? I'm waiting for you to tell me the truth!' Eric snarled.

"You were right I was in the lair. I was the one that had control of the computers, but that isn't the only thing that I did…" She worried her lower lip with her front teeth and stared up at him with her huge amber gold eyes.

"I had to send Matt and Jenna back in time, so that they could stop Rand from changing the past…I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about it, but I had to act quickly." Andy explained. "I did however have enough sense to go back to bed when my head started hurting again and that is exactly where you found me."

"Was that really so difficult? You could have saved us both a lot of trouble and just told me the truth." Eric shook his head at her.

"How did you figure it out anyway?"

"I know you better than you know your own self." Eric grinned sheepishly.

"You threatened Hal didn't you?" Andy glared at him.

"I got home found you sound asleep in bed and then realized that you have never once followed any of my orders to the letter. So I went into the lair and had a little conversation with Hal." Eric came clean with her.

"Ha! You threatened our poor defenseless computer to get information on me! You are no better than I am!" She poked him in the chest with her finger, but lost her grip on her towel and it fell to the carpet.

'You really do love to torment me don't you, my love.' Eric drank in the sight of her wearing nothing at all.

Andy's reaction was to run to their bed and dive under the covers.

'Sweetheart? Why are you hiding under the covers?' He chuckled at the sight of her hiding under the covers on their bed.

'Leave me alone!' She wailed.

'Oh no, baby-doll, you and I are gonna get serious about a request for a miniature version of me.' He crawled under the covers at the foot of their bed.

'Oh! That request!' Andy gasped, as he attacked her under the covers. 'Did you ever find Aunt Sheena?' She tried to think of what she wanted to ask him before her mind shutdown.

'She's at the castle under house arrest.' Eric continued his assault on her body.

Andy when rigid in his arms, 'Why is she under arrest?'

Eric pulled the sheets away from them, so that he could look at her. "She tried to kill you or have you forgotten about the stitches in your head." He frowned at her.

"She was under a great deal of stress and didn't know what she was doing! How the hell could you arrest her like that!?" Andy got out of bed and stalked towards her dressing room.

"She left you to die, Andromeda!" Eric stalked after her.

Andy got dressed and headed for their bedroom door. "I have to talk to her." She snapped.

Eric was now dressed and chasing after his wife. "No way. Andy! That is the last thing that you need to do!"

Andy ignored him and went to get the twins. "Let's go, girls! Momma has to go see Grandpa for a bit." She smiled at her daughters. 'Try and stop me.' She hissed.

"Grandada!" They chimed happily.

Eric punched his fist into one of the antique tables in the living room and it split in two. "If you have to do this then I am going to be with you!" Eric herded them out of the house and to the air car.

'I love you, Eric…' She sent.

'I love you too, Dromi, but I hate it when you're upset and this is going to beyond upset you…' Eric drove them towards the castle.

Keith stared at his two friends, now facing charges of attempted murder on his daughter. "Start talking!" He snarled, "Or I will find ways to make you talk!"

Hunk blanched at the look that Keith was giving them. "We had to find Rand."

"He hurt me…" Sheena whispered.

"I know, Sheena." Keith sighed in frustration.

"I needed to find him and make him pay for what he did to me. I tried to get information from Shaitan and Jace, but they refused to tell me anything. Andromeda's lair seemed like the perfect place to get the information that I needed." Sheena couldn't even look at him as she spoke.

"So you both broke into Andy's home." Keith growled. "Then what happened?"

Sheena squeezed her eyes shut, as she thought of what happened after that. "I had almost found out what I needed to know when someone kicked me off the computer."

"That someone being my daughter," Keith glared at her.

"I was so close and she denied me what I needed to know!" Sheena glared back at him.

"You invaded her lair, a place where I'm not even allowed access to, and you expected her to let you just leave?"

"She was my family! She knew what happened! So she should have understood!"

"So she went to toss the two of you out of her lair and that's when you hit her in the head and left her there to die!"

Sheena placed her hands over her ears and tried to block out what he was saying. "She wasn't going to let me leave! So I picked up a Bo staff and hit her with it. I wasn't trying to kill her…I just wanted a chance to leave!"

"You hit her in the head with a Bo staff, Sheena! Did you know that your sons watched you leave her there to bleed to death?"

"Eric was in the house with the twins or else she wouldn't have entered the Lair." Hunk finally said something.

"She was unconscious for over three hours and she had no memory when she awoke, because she wanted to block out your betrayal!" Keith was not about to let up on them.

He went silent as soon as Eric and Andy entered the room. "Sweetheart, you should be home in bed." Keith glared at Eric.

"Don't glare at me, Dad, she's your daughter." He muttered under his breath.

"Did you really think that I would convalesce at home, while you dealt with my attackers?" Andy hissed at them.

Hunk and Sheena stared at Dromi's furious face.

"Dromi, I am really sorry…I wasn't trying…" Sheena apologized, but Andy cut her off.

"Save it, Aunt Sheena! All that you had to do was ask me to get Rand's location!" She snarled at her.

"But you had to break into my lair and get it for yourself! To top that off you take my metal Bo staff and hit me over the head with it!" She seethed at them.

"I can forgive and understand why Uncle Hunk kidnapped me and took me to Khan, but I draw the line at Aunt Sheena trying to murder me!" She pulled out two throwing stars and sent them towards Hunk and Sheena. She stopped them in mid air, just before they reached their targets.

"You don't know who you are dealing with so start praying!" She hissed at them and sent the stars flying into the far wall.

"I give you my word that this will never happen again and I will make up for my actions."

"You will resign your commissions and never fight again. You will raise your family like a normal couple would. If you try to go after Rand or anyone again I will personally hunt you down and take you out." Andy passed judgment on them.

"I understand." Hunk nodded.

"Thank you, for giving us a second chance." Sheena sighed in relief.

"Just remember this, Aunt Sheena…I will never trust you again and neither will any of my family. Think of what you have lost! Consider if revenge on Rand and going against everything that your father stood for was worth it." Andy turned on her heel and left the room.

"My daughter said that." Keith grinned with pride. "I can see her ruling Arus already."

"She really is something when she has her moments." Eric grinned at Keith and then left to go after his wife.

Lance and Cassie stared at Andy, as she explained where Matt and Jenna had been sent. "They can handle this, Uncle Lance. They have to for all our sakes."

Lance began to pace the room. "He isn't a kid anymore."

"Those two went on a mission alone?" Cass wasn't so sure that she liked that idea.

"Yes, Aunt Cassie. They're partners and have been since they met over two years ago. And no they haven't gone for it yet, if that's what the two of you are thinking. They're years from that step in their relationship." Andy glared at her Aunt and Uncle.

"Keith keeps finding things for them to do whenever they start getting too serious." Eric grinned.

"You and the rest of the team are usually with them…What if they need back-up?" Lance continued to pace the room.

"Then they will have to find new ways of making allies." Andy glared over at Lance.

"They can return with a mere touch of a button, but not until they find Rand and bring him back to our time. They have to or this time will be seriously altered." She vanished from sight.

Eric, Lance, and Cassie finally realized just how serious this situation really was.

"If Sheena ends up with Rand, then Jenna will vanish, and didn't Sheena teach Andy how to control her darker side?" Eric frowned.

"Then this could be a major situation." Lance sighed in frustration.

"Not really…There were quite a few family members that helped keep Andy in line and Sheena was just one of them." Cassie pointed out. "Our only problem will be if Andy thinks that Sheena was the only one to tame her darker side. Then we might see some problems."

(Andy's Lair)

Andromeda sat in the lair and tried to track where Hermes had gone, but she found that her little mechanical friend was out of her range. "This is just great! Now they really are on their own!" She snarled in frustration and stalked out of the lair.

"I'll check on, my girls, it always helps me relax." She tiptoed into the twins' room, found them sound asleep in their new big girl beds, and gave them both a kiss on the top of their tiny heads. "You are my two miracles." She whispered softly. "And I love you more than anything in this universe."

Andy's head had begun to start pounding again, so she headed back to the master bedroom, so that she could take another pain pill.

Eric had been silently watching her and followed her back to their room. "What's wrong, love?" He asked, as he pulled her into his arms.

"What if I have just sent two teenagers to their deaths?" Andy sighed in frustration.

"You can't question your decision, Andy. You did what you had to do, so don't let this bother you." He sighed.

"Don't you see what's happening to me!? I barely had time to stop that throwing star! I wanted to make them pay and that isn't like me! I don't kill people, Eric!"

"Easy, my love, you're just tense from all that went down today and need to try and relax." Eric cuddled her closer to him.

"I hope you're right, Eric." Andy worriedly bit down on her lower lip.

'What you need is to focus on something else like our little miniature version of me.' He kissed her soundly on the mouth and to his delight she all but attacked him and took complete control of the situation.

(Hours Later)

Eric lay totally drained, after Andy's assaults on his body.

'What was that all about?' Eric growled hoarsely.

'Not that I'm complaining…I thought that ripping my clothes off and shoving me against the wall was a nice touch and we can always get new furniture. Hey! The bed is still in one piece.' He reached over to hold her, only to find that his hands were tied to the bed post.

'When did you?…I don't remember you tying me to the bed?' He finally noticed that he was alone and Andy was nowhere to be found.

"Andy?" He hissed.

'Andromeda!' to his chagrin he was alone and completely stuck to the bed.

'Get back in here you coward!'
