Game On- Part 14 (Going Home)
Cronus directed the group to several small boats perched on the shoreline."We need toget out quickly, Zoltar may decide to destroy the island..."
Mark looked puzzled. "Boats? What happened to the planes?"
Cronus smiled. "It seems your Chief Anderson and robot, Zark, realized that the Phoenix crash landed when it hit some type of barrier in the upper atmosphere. Made by Spectra, no doubt. They were able to determine, however, that we could breach the barrier by using small boats. We'll rendezvous with the Navy vessel that brought us here a few miles out…they are preparing a hot meal for you and sleeping quarters."
Mark smiled. "Aha… good ole' Zark, never misses a trick…"
Princess smiled, grabbing Mark's hand as she climbed aboard one of the boats, "Looks like we're about to take a little cruise…" He winked back at her, looking forward to a relaxing trip home, and ready to spend some quality time with her.
"Good, I could use a little R and R…" Jason boarded another boat, shifting back to a more relaxed position.
Tiny and Keyop were excited about the hot meal. They contemplated what would beon the menu.
The sailors gave them all a hero's welcome, anxious to hear the team's stories. Exhausted and hungry, G Force and Cronus' men ate eagerly and then disappeared one by one into their sleeping quarters.
Princess walked into her room, and transmuted into her civvies. She pulled off her shoes and sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed.
As she began climbing into the bed,she was startled to find someone was already there. She stood up rapidly and cupped her hands over her mouth, "Oh, I'm sorry I must have the wrong room!"
There was no reply, only a slight chuckle from beneath the covers. Jerking off the covers, she revealed Mark grinning back at her with a finger over his lips. She joined him under the covers, giggling, "Was this part of your plan?" He only nodded in return as he pulled her in close for a kiss.
