Chapter 1 – New beginnings
7 years after FN
It had been along time since Libe was born , a lot had changed since then . The Terminal City siege ended over 6 years ago and people had moved on . Transgenics were considered citizens of America , well it's something at least , better than being hunted down .
But it wasn't the only thing that had moved on , Gem was now living in Oregon , married to someone who loved her and accepted her for what she was , Chris , they lived in their own apartment , Libe was 6 now and had been at school for a few years , they were happy there , and hopefully nothing could mess her life up any more .
Gem still kept in touch with Max and Logan , who by now where thinking of starting their own family seeing as the virus bitch was down and out , and if a wedding was in order , well Max already had a dress with a startling price tag , no need to get another . Gem also kept in touch with Alec , annoying though he was , Joshua of course , he was one of her best friends , she cared for him a great deal and him for her and Libe . Also Original Cindy visited when she could , as she was deemed Aunt Cindy .
So all in all Gem had her perfect life that she wanted for a long time , old friends , new friends , family and security . Max had once asked her what she wanted in the future .
' How do you imagine you life in the future ? ' Max asked as she sat next to Gem .
' Well , I'd like to be accepted for what I am , I want to be rollin in it ' she added with a chuckle ' but most of all , I want someone to spend my life with and someone who will care for Libe ' she replied distantly .
' I hope you get that '
' you ? '
' huh ? '
' what do you want in the future ? '
' oh , well , I never actually thought about it before , but , most of all , I want to be able to touch Logan knowing he won't die , and I don't know .. start a family I guess '
' don't forget bangin the gong ' a familiar voice called from behind her .
' well that too … ' Max said blushing .
' don't be embarrassin yo ass , wannin to be loved comes natural , that's what I want , a fine ass girl who wants to spend her life with me , and who aint bothered about whether I got scrilla burnin a hole through my bra '
' your bra ? ' Gem asked with a shocked expression .
' yeah , it's only place a girl can keep her dollar knowin it aint gonna get snatched , anybody try that and Cindy'll put em in the world of hurt '
' wonder what Alec will be doing in the future ? ' Max asked aloud .
' sugah , you don't even wanna know ! ' Cindy warned , and they all laughed .
Gem walked up the steps to her apartment with a bag of groceries and opened the door and rushed in as rain washed down on the city .
" Honey I'm home ! " she called .
" Hey sweaty " Craig replied as he kissed her before taking the groceries and taking them into the kitchen .
" Mummy ! " Libe cried as she rushed up to her .
" Hey beautiful " she said as she picked her daughter up and hugged her . " What have you been up to today ? "
" At school , I pained a picture , look " she said as she gave it Gem " There's you , that's daddy and this is me " she said pointing to various places .
" What's this ? " she asked , pointing to something on the painting .
" A barcode "
" A barcode ? "
" Yeah , you have one , I want one to ! "
" Your to young for tattoos , go help daddy " she said as she bit on her lip .
" ok "
Later that night" She's a sleep " Chris said as he sat down next to Gem .
" Good "
" She wanted to hear the story about the nasty place again "
" Again , she always asks for that one "
" I know , and she wants her own barcode to "
" You think we should tell her ? Gem asked .
" I'm not sure maybe we should wait a bit first "
" Your right , oh is it ok if I go down to the Brinx , I said I'd meet Missy ? "
" Sure "
" Great " she said as she leaned over and kissed him .
" Hey , I've got tomorrow off , wanna go out in the country somewhere ? " he asked .
" Sure , cya " she said as she got up and left .
Brinx Club
" So you and your man going off to some cabin , huh ? " Missy asked as she , Gem and Andy sat round a table drinking something resembling beer .
" I didn't say a cabin , just somewhere in the country "
" Somewhere where he and you will be makin hot monkey lovin " Missy teased .
" Get you mind out of the gutter ! " Gem joked .
" Hey Missy , how goes it with Victor , or is it Derek ? " Andy asked with a cheeky grin on his face .
" Last time I checked , Victor was fine , but Derek is oh so much finer " she said as she high 5'ed Gem .
" Gem , I was wondering , this estro cycle thing , how often does it happen ? " Andy asked .
" Why hoping you'd get lucky ? " Gem teased .
" No I was just curious is all " he replied hastily .
" Why , not getting no lovin ? " Missy teased .
" Hey , my needs are being satisfied in that department " he protested .
" Whatever " Missy said .
" Hey look whose coming in "
" My oh my , I do believe he is so tall dark and delicious I could eat him all up right now , Excuse me girls " she said as she went over to the ' mystery man ' .
In many ways Missy was a 'clone' of Original Cindy , they talked the same , enjoyed being girly , but Missy wasn't bating for the home team . She was the typical male female .
" I guess Derek is finer but this mystery man is the finest " Gem mocked .
" Until she finds another 'fine ass stud' , I heard she was hitting on some guy at work " Andy said as he downed a glass of bear .
" Don't you think the quality of beer in this place has dropped ? " Gem asked .
" Definitely " Andy agreed .
" So... you and this , Chris , how did you meet ? " Andy asked .
" Curiosity killed the cat " Gem teased .
" I ain't no cat ! " Andy joked .
" Then lucky for you , well if you wanna know , I met him in a bar and used my feminine charm on him , and things moved on , simple as that "
" What kind of feminine charm"
" Well you won't need it unless your picking up guys " she said as Missy returned with a pitcher .
" Back so soon ? " Andy asked .
" Azz , leave you sorry ass outta my business " she said hitting him on the noggin .
" I bet he's spoken for " Andy said to Gem , she replied with a confirming nod .
" Aint that the truth , all the smooth honeys get plucked , little missy was just to slow of mark " she spat as she downed a glass .
" I bet you'll find someone soon " Gem assured her .
" What she meant to say was , I'm sure you'll find a new boy toy soon "
" I'm hopin on it "
" We'll , I better be off now , see you on Thursday " she said as she got up and hugged missy .
" Catch ya later " Andy said .
" Don't do anything I wouldn't do " Missy added .
" I don't know if I should , I could get arrested " Gem teased before she left .
Outside the Brinx ClubGem rushed along the street as the rain pitter pattered on the shiny street glistening in the dull light of street lamps . Behind her she could hear footsteps , but ignored them .
" 859 , you're a hard girl to track down " A voice said from behind her , she turned and glared at the figure ...
