Corso looked at Sonny. They had been at it for several hours and Miller was acting stubborn and they didn't get any answers out of him. Sonny let Corso and Duke Maddox ask the questions for a while, studying the other man. Even with the knowledge he came from Abraxor as a secret agent, this would be difficult. Finally, they all had to take a break, to re strategize. Sonny sighed as he leaned against the wall outside the interrogation room. They needed answers quickly.

"This isn't going anywhere. He is fighting us, and winning" Corso said. "We're dealing with a very twisted mind here."he sighed. Sonny nodded.

"He's from Abraxor Corso, you dont get more twisted than there" He said. Duke Maddox nodded.

"We've been here for hours, even with the truth serum, he's still not talking. Do you have something stronger to use? He may have been immunized to conventional tools" He asked. Sonny nodded and looked at Corso with a smile. Time for the herbalist of his team to work his magic.

"Corso, I'll leave it up to you. You're a herbalist. Do you have a concoction that might help break down this stubborn wall we are up against?" Sonny asked. Corso smiled.

"I can conjure something up. Will probably beat your serum. It seems he expected that. Maybe a project for later, I know you like to adjust things. It stimulates your brain. Sonnys prefered brain stimulant" He said.

"I didn't know you were into herbology." A voice called from behind them. Aaraya walked towards them with a smile on her face. If Corso needed herbs, she had most of what the galaxy had, in her green house, it could be used as poison, or to fabricate something to make people talk, just what he needed now.

"Aaraya. Can you help us out?We are in a hurry with this one, Abraxians are difficult people normally, and if its a secret agent, they are trained to be even worse. I never could have fit that mold." Sonny said with a smile. The tall Paladin smiled back and nodded.

"Why yes Sonny, I think I may have just the thing you need. We can head to my green house Corso. I'm sure you'll find what you need there." She offered. Corso nodded with a determined look in his eyes. He then left with Aaraya to start on this project. Sonny ordered Bennett and Artie, Stevens and Hawkins, to take Miller back to his cell for now. He handed Stevens a syringe.

"This will knock him out if that needs to happen. Be careful around him. He is capable of great harm" He said. Duke Maddox looked at him as they started to make their way to the ship's lounge. Sonny felt a major headache was coming on. He didn't prepare for this to strike now. It had to be stress. Miller held the key to where Bleylocks son was hiding, and they had to find him and apprehend him. So far, they stumbled in darkness with regard to that. Sonny sighed. It felt like he lost balance. And that was a luxury he could not afford himself right now. As he saw Duke Maddox out, Sonny knew what he needed to regain his footing. Corso had already given his input on things,he wanted to move forwards with this,explore these new feelings to him, as long as it had been held secret,to actually have it now,to explore this side of his nature again,felt like he had found a lost piece of himself. A piece that had been lost since his days in a relationship with felt like he needed the both of them,they both gave him their love, in two differnt he could not do with just one or the other. He had to have both, for his own sanity. Corso was ready to go all in,that much he knew. What he needed now, was Callie's point of view on the matter. Sonny sighed as he entered the cabin. Corso would be busy for some time. He hoped Callie wasn't as angry as she had been the last time they talked. He and Corso had made a mistake by leaving her out of the loop. He still felt guilty, but he needed her help. Sonny laid down on the bed and called Callie.


Callie was done with the sports section of the day. There was at least another hour before the news at eight. She gave a lot of though to Mei's suggestion. She agreed with Mei, Sonny and Corso needed to break that old ingrained pattern of protecting who they loved by leaving them out of the loop but it was going to take some time. When Corso kissed Sonny, she saw how Sonny just relaxed into it. He wanted them both. To her, it looked like he needed it. And Corso.. she had never thought this pirate could ever be so gentle as what she had seen when he caressed Sonny, gently touching his neck by the hair line, just holding him like he was the most precious gift anyone could have given him. She wondered if they had taken any actions towards her suggestion to explore. Something told her, Sonny would have to take the first step, to make Corso follow. She had seen it in Corsos natural eye. Seen the longing, that desire for something he didnt have. Callie wondered what that could possibly things could turn into if one of them said no. She also detected the fear in Corso of just that happening. He was so close to Sonny. He needed to be part of his life. Sonny needed him, on far more levels than he expressed. And he needed her obviously had heard of polygamy. Never figured she'd be in a relationship like that though. Callie was abruptly pulled from her trail of thoughts as her transmitter rang. She smiled when Sonnys hologram appeared.

"Sonny, I was just thinking about you." She smiled as she saw his hologram. Sonny smiled, but he looked very tired.

"Did you get your man?" Callie asked. Sonny chuckled.

"Sounds like you're not as mad at me and Corso as you were last time. I'm sorry about what we did. And yes, we got him. But now we have to make him talk. And that turned out harder than planned" He said. Callie smiled.

"It wasn't the best idea you have had, and I'm sure you know that by now. But I forgive you both. This is how you have protected people for ages. But there will be a thing you both need to do to make up for this." Callie said. Sonny felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"Tell me what it is. I'll break it to Corso. As gently as I can. He has enough nerves to deal with as it is" Sonny said. Callie smiled.

"Sounds like its a work in progress. Corso has a dearly caring heart, but he has been through so much pain and loss, its a miracle in its own right that he is able to open up and verbalize his needs. I hope you have some ideas to make that happen. By the way,Where is he? I'm so used to seeing him by your side." She asked. Sonny sighed, before he told her of how the interrogation of Miller went. Callie listened attentively. But one thing puzzled her.

"If he's from Abraxor Sonny, why doesn't he have their eyes? Y'know, like Bleylock?" She asked. Sonny agreed.

"The secret Abraxian agents use multiple tools to disguise their true origin Callie, that is nothing new. But,I could ask our very own Abraxian about that." He revealed. Callie was intrigued.

"Who?" She asked. Sonny nodded.

"There's two, actually. Artie's one of them. He grew up there, that makes his knowledge more abraxian than paladian. But I dont think he is the one that knows the most, than would be our other, native member of the planet" Sonny smiled. Callie nodded.

"He's always so joyful and carefree. I can't even imagine how he survived in a place like Abraxor. From what I heard, I would be miserable within hours if I went there" She said. Sonny agreed.

"Artie found his father recently, who is from Stellar Unix. He's now a part of the Paladins. Artie did good on his first solo mission. We found Zoltar. He's alive, but weak. We haven't told Solaris yet. We want him to survive before we tell her. Corso has been informed about things, but we agreed to wait. Hopefully, Aaraya has some remedies that will help will work his magic on that end too" He said. Callie smiled.

"Who's the other one with ties to Abraxor? I don't know someone with eyes like that among your men" She mused. Sonny smiled.

"Sure you do Callie. Many of them wear glasses, some do it to protect themselves from being recognized, others, have more personal reasons for it. But I will tell you whom the one in question is, as you already know him. It's Bennett. I'm planning a sit down with him when this is all over. He has a problem with his eyes. The glasses allow him to hide his heritage for now, but I can sense he wants to change that. I want to help him do that, to be more comfortable with whom he is." He confessed. Callie smiled softly.

"Have you and Corso figured things out yet?" She asked. Sonny smiled as he thought about it.

"We made a lot of progress Callie, and a lot of it stands now, I cant push either one of you to the sideline. It feels right on both sides. I can't and won't choose between you." He confessed. Callie nodded with a small smile.

"I was hoping you would say that. Polygamy it is then. Sure, it will raise eyebrows, but it's the three of us that make this call. It's our lives, no one else's. And I find, two men may have its perks for a lady like me" Callie said. Sonny smiled.

"I've been thinking the same thing. Here's to hoping Corso's open to it, too. The loss of his wife and child has left deep scars in him. He may never recover from that wound but together, we may be able to help him go as far as he can." He said. Callie smiled.

"Let's talk to him when you get back to is so scared about being rejected, we need to do this in a careful manner" She said. "I need you both to agree to come on TV for an interview. I want the galaxy to get to know the two top dog pirates. Consider it punishment for your breach of trust" She said. Sonny nodded. Corso wouldn't like it, but this had to be done.

"I'll prepare him for it. Thanks, Callie, you and Corso are the people I need around me." He smiled.

"That's why we'll make the perfect spouses. The galactik three musketeers" She smiled as the call was ended. Callie turned her gaze to her computer screen. She had a design in mind for the engagement rings. and with time to spare, she would send it around, and see whom could forge it.


Davidson checked Zoltar's charts. No improvements but he was hanging in there. He wasn't used to such cruelty, having been raised on Shiloh. A barren part but still a part. Then, the fights had broken out. He was still a kid when it happened. His parents both joined the Pirates, trying to make a living. His father was captured during Magnus' reign, before Sonny had joined them. He was never seen again. He would know what happened soon enough. Sonny was going over the Pirate prisoners Technoid had. He just had to be patient, his answer was coming. A sound made him turn around.

"Rainbow. I need to see Rainbow." Zoltar managed. Davidson was at his side in an instant.

"Relax, Zoltar. You need your strength back first." He tried. Zoltar turned his head.

"I need the Trio." He managed. Davidson couldn't explain it, but he felt his hands starting to glow. The seed of Shiloh. His flux, It burned inside him. Despite his inhibitor, it wanted to come out, and make itself useful. He had a strong sense he had to obey the command of his flux on this. Davidson closed his eyes, and gently placed his hands around the Paladin's head. He felt himself grow stronger doing this. Zoltar sighed, and relaxed into it. Davidson didn't notice the door to the infirmary open. As soon as Sonny noticed what he was doing, how his flux was acting as a healing agent, he walked over to his young player, and he gently placed his own hands on his young nutritionist's shoulders. Zoltar relaxed into the purple energy that they gave him. Sonny carefully adjusted his feed, to not be too violent on Zoltars fragile systems. As soon as Davidson stopped, he removed his hands gently. Zoltar opened his eyes. The Flux had restored his energy levels. The young Paladin was still somewhat faint, but not dying anymore.

"Thank you my friend. I owe you my life." He said.

"It's a pleasure to finally talk to you, Zoltar. I'm Sonny Blackbones, leader of the Shiloh Pirates." Sonny smiled and held out his hand. Zoltar smiled.

"I saw what you did for Hawk, you have protected his son.I have no words to express my gratitude for what you have given someone I respect and love like a brother." He said. Sonny smiled.

"You better rest up. The trio would love to see you soon. One in particular. You know her as Rainbow, we know her as Solaris Stellar. The leader of the Paladins. She just received the Golden Armor." Sonny informed him. Zoltar smiled brightly, a tear escaping his eye.

"This is big, much bigger than you think. There will be a ancient prophecy has come to pass" He said.

"What do you think, Davidson?" Sonny asked. Davidson smiled.

"He'll soon be reunited with Solaris. And that will be the start of Stellar Unix rebuilding after the attack" He smiled. Sonny smiled.

"Let me know when he's ready. Some other people might want to be there, too."


Corso struggled to stay calm as he completed his truth serum. Miller was getting to him. Arrogant, boastful,and smirking. And he was just a flunky. Corso didn't really want to know what came next. If the top dog was even worse, he was not looking forwards to that interrogation. Well, first things first. To find Bleylocks evasive son, They needed Miller to confess to what he knew. This one knew where the kid was hiding, he was certain of it. Now it was time he spilt the beans, so the pirates and Technoid could make any headway in this mess. He filled several syringes with the mix. As soon as it was ready, Corso marked them all. He also made something else. He couldn't explain why, but he had that feeling something was about to happen, and they would need to act quickly. He hoped he was wrong. As he exited the lab and joined with Sonny and Duke Maddox again, he showed them the syringes.

"Here goes nothing. I really hate this guy, this mix should make him come apart." He muttered. Duke Maddox agreed.

"He'll pay for what he has done. To Sonny, and many others. I am still trying to wrap my head around how many roaches there really are on the board. And how Bleylock managed to do all this behind my back" He said. Sonny was more thoughtful.

"We need answers about Bleylocks sons whereabouts first of all. Corso, did you test the mix?" He asked. Corso nodded.

"He won't resist this mix. He does, then he is immunized to anything I can dish up, and if so,you have to take over and make something." He said, sounding confident in his work. Sonny nodded.

"Alright, round two."


Miller felt dizzy when he tried to lie about things. The syringe he had been given wasnt big, the dose should wear off in just a little while. But despite the size, the content was very potent. Corso still held his position behind him, rope around his neck. Silent and Stoic. Sonny was satisfied with the effect.

"How about you tell us about why The Bleylocks were infiltrating Technoid first? Then, you will tell me where I can find his son. The young man has been led to believe a plethora of lies. Its time he learns what is fact and what is fiction" He asked. Miller couldn't help but tell the truth, no matter how hard he tried to lie. Sonny and Duke Maddox paid close attention to the details of the plan that had been laid decades ago. A disgruntled Lord, A Bleylock, that did not feel he got the recognition he deserved. He had visions of being something far bigger than just emperor of Abraxor. The madness this man revealed was astounding. Now, they had to figure out how to deal with it. But Miller had one last trick.

"I'd be more worried about Ascaron's lost core.I believe that is where your precious flux originates from, and Doesn't your precious Corso have some things there he wants to protect? So unless you want to see that destroyed, you better give me what I want. My freedom"


A/N: How will Corso react to the news of these graves? How will he feel about a three-way marriage? All this is to come.

Thank you Paranoid girl for her work.
