Luna woke up alone the next morning, but soon figured Connor may be in the shower when she heard the water turn off. She slowly rose to her feet, making her way to her room where she fumbled around for clothes to wear. Soon Connor appeared in her door, watching her as she moved about gingerly.

"Why don't you sit down, I can help you."

"How about you go and get me some ibuprofen while I get my clothes together." Connor stood up tall as he looked at her, seeing how stubborn she was. He headed downstairs and fumbled around in the medical room for a few minutes before finally finding the medicine she had asked for. He had grown to know this cabin just as he had known Achilles' manor, and now as moved up the stairs, he heard someone else moving around, and talking going on. He stopped and listened, figuring it was Claudia and Luna speaking to each other. He made his way to the top of the steps before moving silently down to the room the girls shared. He heard part of their conversation as he moved.

"I know that I'm not the only one sharing a bed now." Claudia was teasing Luna as she helped the other woman find clothes.

"Hush, I didn't try to hide the fact that I slept in Connor's bed."

"How is he to sleep with?" Luna eyed Claudia wide-eyed.

"You know what you're implying right? We didn't have sex, I slept in his bed with him, two different things."

"Well, tell me this, a man who is that tall, is he?" Luna held her hand up as she started.

"Claudia, seriously! God your bad. What if I asked about Yusuf's, skills." Claudia blushed slightly.

"He is quite good." Both women snickered before Claudia started again. "I think someone would be happy to show you his skills"

"Who?"

"Both." Claudia wagged her brows and Luna sat there, mouth agape as she giggled. The floor in the hallway creaked where Connor had shifted his weight and Luna looked to the door, saying his name. He appeared at her door, holding up the bottle of water as he crossed to room, placing the medicine in her palm. She tossed the pills into her mouth before taking a drink and Connor smiled at the slight bitter look on her face. She looked up at him, standing close.

"Thank you Connor. I'm going to get cleaned up." She took her clothes and gingerly walked towards the bathroom. Connor then went down the hall, heading back downstairs to sit in the library. He sat, then paced, then he looked at some books before he decided to head out hunting, but just as he was about to put on a coat, he head his name. He turned to see Carlo walking into the kitchen, following him.

"Connor, hey. I am glad to see you awake. How is Luna?"

"She is in pain, but she is stubborn, not wanting any help."

"Yea, I figured as much. I am making an executive decision, we go back to the pit today. They have had enough time to get things in order, paperwork and apartments. I just can't keep her out here if she is injured. And I think you guys can handle it now." Connor was glad to hear that Carlo had Luna's health in mind, but would they be able to live among other people?

Luna was in the bathroom drying off when she turned wrong, causing pain to sear through her side. She fell to her knees as she tried not to give into the nausea. She had one arm around her ribs, while the other kept her head off the floor. Just then she saw a gold light around her, and as she raised her eyes, she saw Minerva looking at her.

"It is nearly time, are they ready for this fight?"

"How can we make sure they are ready, we don't even know how to prepare to fight a woman who is nothing more than an electrical impulse?"

"You will know. Like pieces of a puzzle all falling together."

"Will they return to their own times?"

"No, we will not be able to take them back." Luna lowered her eyes, partially happy. "This is what you desired, you want him to stay with you, he would have stayed here either way." Luna raised her eyes to Minerva, but the woman just faded away. She groaned as she tried to stand up, then knock at the door startled her.

"You alright in there?" Luna tried to answer, but as she drew in a breath there was a sharp stabbing pain in her side, and all that came out was a small cry. The door opened just enough to hear the voice clearer. "Do you need help in there missy?" Luna couldn't stop the tears now as she answered Edward.

"Get Claudia please." He called out for Claudia and stood by the door. Claudia came out of Yusuf's room and saw Edward motion towards the bathroom door,

"It's Luna, she needs you. I think she's hurting bag." Claudia rushed down the hallway and opened the door easily, finding Luna laying on the floor in just a pair of panties, a towel halfway draped over her. Claudia pushed the door, blocking the view of the guys in the hallway. She helped get Luna to her feet and soon Connor's voice was heard in the hallway.

"What's wrong, we heard you call for Claudia downstairs." Carlo stood behind Connor as Edward told him he had heard two voices in the hallway, and saw the golden glow coming from under the bathroom door, then he knocked and Luna was asking for Claudia, sounding hurt. Connor leaned on the door, speaking to Luna through the door.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Claudia opened the door, seeing Carlo standing there behind Connor. She motioned for Connor to come into the bathroom and she ran down to the room she and Luna shared. She came back and knocked lightly on the door, sliding in with a different shirt for Luna to put on. She helped Luna with the shirt, and then left Connor and Luna alone.

"Carlo, she said she needs to go home, she needs x-rays."

"FUCK. Alright, everyone start packing your bags, we are heading back to the city ASAP. Claudia, could you pack her things for her. Connor, I" the bathroom door opened, Connor had Luna in his arms.

"I will pack my things, it will not take long." He carried Luna downstairs and gently sat her on a settee in the library before going back up to gather his things. It only took him 8 minutes to gather all his things into his bag. He stopped by the room she shared with Claudia, offering to take down any bags she had packed. He took down a bag of Luna's and one of Claudia's as he made his way back down by Luna.

"Go ahead and put those in the van. I'm not going anywhere." He hesitated, but soon he started carrying the bags out to the van. Soon Edward was next to him with a few more bags.

"She will be alright kid, she's a fighter." Connor looked to the pirate, nodding in agreement. They both headed back inside and Carlo came downstairs after shutting down everything upstairs. Carlo came down and asked Luna to go over the checklist with him, soon he had shut off the water, cleared the lines and shut off the generator and furnace. Once he was done, everyone got loaded up in the van, Carlo and Ezio up front, Yusuf and Claudia in the second row and Connor, Luna and Edward in the back. The ride was bouncy and Luna kept getting jostled, so she leaned into Connor, who took the hint and put his arm around her, trying to take most of the bumps. She put her head in his shirt a few times when the pain hit her worse than usual, but she would take a few deep breaths of his scent and would calm down. Soon they were on the highway and they couldn't get back fast enough.
