Author's Note: My sincere apologies in the delay of this chapter. The timeline of this story has undergone a drastic change. The name has changed, just about everything but the back story and the basic plot of this story has changed. I hope you enjoy.


The next morning, Jason and Adam were relaxing in the back yard, taking a break after a vigorous morning sparing session. Jason looked up at the cloudless sky, "Ya know, you need to come around more often; I haven't gotten a workout like that in awhile. Kim's good, but you know how I am."

Adam laughed, "Yeah, you still go easy on her, which inevitably pisses her off, so she ditches technique and just pounds on you, which eventually leads to the bedroom," he replied rolling his eyes and ducking the towel Jason launched at him. "What? Tell me I'm wrong," he challenged.

"I cannot tell a lie," Jason replied, causing them both to crack up into laughter. "Seriously though, it's nice to have you and the rest of the gang drop by, kinda like old times," he said with a smile.

"Except now-a-days, we congregate on the porch with beer, rather than at The Juice Bar with smoothies," Adam replied with a smirk.

"Too true my friend, too true," Jason agreed. As they continued to lazy about, soaking up the morning sun, they began to hear some sort of commotion on the other side of the fence. Jason's ears perked up at the familiar cries of a 'battle'. "Wonder what's going on over there?" He pondered, curiosity beginning to eat at him.

Adam tilted his head to the side, "Hmm… either they are sparing, or trying to beat the hell out of each other," he paused and grinned, "wanna find out?"

"Well," Jason smiled, "only because we're concerned, of course."

"Of course, not because it's fun to watch two women fight," Adam retorted.

"Married, remember?" Jason reminded him.

"Yeah, but you're not dead," Adam replied.

"Touché," Jason laughed, jumping up and heading towards the tall, wooden privacy fence.


Kira and Tori were in the back yard, fiercely sparing, a battle that to Kira, brought back memories of their first match, when Tori was under Lothor's spell. "You are so going down," Kira said rushing at her; then trying to sweep her legs out from under her.

"That's what you said last time, remember what happened then?" Tori asked, easily jumping over Kira's leg and launching into a combination of kicks and punches that Kira was barely able to avoid.

"You cheated last time, you threw me into the lake," Kira grumbled and flipped back to avoid the attack.

"You didn't say I couldn't use…" she looked up and saw Jason and Adam watching them and stopped. Wow, almost gave that away, she thought to herself. She relaxed her stance and smiled at the guys, "Morning boys," she said with a wave.

"Morning girls," Adam called back, waving in return. "Morning sparing session, or did she piss you off Kira?" he asked, a cheesy grin on his face to show he was kidding.

"Yup, she put my dishes away in the wrong cupboard," Kira joked, and then stretched, popping her back.

"Did not," Tori said, pushing at Kira playfully. "Don't listen to her; she's just happy that I stopped before she lost horribly."

"Evil!" Kira exclaimed, jumping at her, catching her off-guard and causing them both to tumble onto the ground. Tabitha Lee watched on in her playpen, giggling happily at the action that was going on in front of her.

"Well, your technique is a bit lacking," Jason felt compelled to point out. "Nothing that a bit of practice can't fix," he added quickly as both girls looked up at him.

"Which one of us were you talking about?" Kira asked, brushing herself off as she stood up, and helped Tori to her feet.

"You," Jason replied.

"Ooh, I know, my training was rushed," Kira shrugged. Not to mention most of the abilities came with the suit, she added to herself.

"If you ever want to work on it, I can help you," Jason said with a smile.

"Excellent! I didn't have anyone to spar with in New York, Caleb didn't want me to practice," Kira said happily.

"Caleb was an ass," Tori mumbled.

"Hush," Kira retorted.

"So what about my technique?" Tori asked, returning to the subject at hand.

Adam smiled, "You've had traditional training, you're amazing," he said hoping easily over the fence. He ignored Jason's mutter of 'show off' and walked over to the girls. "Where did you train?"

"Back home, in California," Tori replied. "Wanna go a round?" She asked a grin on her face.

"Gladly," Adam replied, eager to see how good her training actually was.

"Easy Adam, she could whip your butt," Jason said with a smirk.

Adam laughed, "I know," he said taking his stance in front of her. "Let's do it," he said with a smile.

Tori gave her reply by rushing forward, dealing out a flurry of fists, all of which Adam was able to block. Adam grabbed her arm and tried to sweep her legs out from under her, but Tori was able to jump over his leg, dropping her stance and using Adam's momentum to turn him over her shoulder.

"Wow," Kira breathed, watching the match. "Adam's good," she murmured softly.

"Yeah, he is," Jason agreed, "but your friend Tori is too, I think this is going to end in a draw," he mused. "So, I noticed you're telegraphing your side kick, you always drop your shoulder on the left side right before you lash out, want to work on it?"

"Sure," Kira said with a smile.

"Okay, so, this" Jason paused to show her what she was doing, "is what you have been doing and this," he showed her the correct way, "is what you should be doing. Don't drop your shoulder, it gives off a big old signal saying, 'I'm going to attack from the other side'."

"Got it," Kira said and tried it. "Well? It didn't feel any different," she said making a face.

"That's because it wasn't any different, you still dropped your shoulder," Jason replied, laughing at Talee's emphatic squeal, "Talee agrees with me," he added with a grin.

"No comments from the peanut gallery," Kira bend down in front of the playpen. "Someday you'll learn how to do this; then I can critique you, mama's rights," she said, laughing as Tabitha Lee squealed at her and smacked the side of the playpen. "Don't talk back, you're too young," she said standing up and heading back over to Jason, "Okay, let's try this again."


Kim came out of the house after she was finished with the laundry, "Jason! Ada… hey, where did they go," she said putting her hands on her hips. "Jason Lee Scott!! Adam Lucas Park! Where are you?"

"Ut-oh, busted," Adam snickered, shooting a look at Jason. "The wife is looking for you," he teased.

"I'm so gonna tell her you called her 'the wife'," Jason retorted.

"Besides," Kira added from where she was feeding Talee a bottle, "Wasn't it your name she yelled too, Mr. Adam Lucas Park?"

"Jason! Adam!"

"We're over in Kira's yard honey!" Jason yelled towards his house.

Kim's head popped up over the fence, "hey guys, what's going on? Why didn't anybody tell me there was a party going on?" She asked, walking over to the tree, pulling herself up in it and climbing over the fence, lowering herself down the other side.

"Well, you were busy," Jason said walking over to her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Meaning he didn't think of it," Adam 'translated' to the girls.

"Right," Kim said rolling her eyes, but letting herself be hugged none the less. "So, what'd I miss?"

"Adam getting his ass kicked by Tori," Jason replied, kissing her cheek.

"I did NOT!"

"Acutally, you did," Kira replied, looking down to hide her grin.

"How would you know? You were practicing with Jason," Adam retorted.

"She might have been practicing with me, but she always kept one eye on you," Jason put in, cracking up at the blushes that graced both their cheeks.

"I was watching Tori," Kira demurred.

"Sure you were," Tori remarked, snickering at the death glare Kira shot her way.

"How come I always miss all the fun," Kim complained with a sigh, leaning against Jason's chests.

"Because you're husband is old and forgetful?" Adam asked, readying himself to run incase Jason came after him.

"You're not that much younger than me Park, remember that," Jason remarked, content with just holding onto his wife at the moment.

"I've been trying to forget," Adam replied with a sigh.

"Oh please, like you guys are that much older than we are," Kira scoffed. "You can't be much older than 25," she added.

"Oooh, I love her," Kim said with a laugh.

"How old are you guys anyway?" Tori asked curiously. It had been bugging her all morning, she knew they were older than she and Kira, but they couldn't be that much older than them.

Jason smiled, "I'll be 29 in October," he replied with a smile.

"Which mean's he's gonna be thirty soon," Adam added.

"Bro, you're gonna be 29 in March, you hardly have room to talk," Jason retorted.

"Yeah, but then YOU will be turning thirty," Adam replied.

"Stop pickin' on my husband," Kim scolded Adam playfully. "I'm 28 too, my birthday is Valentine's Day," she said with a smile.

"That is so cool," Tori said with a laugh. "You make him give you double the presents right?"

"Of course," Kim replied with a laugh. "I wouldn't be fulfilling my duties as a girl if I didn't," she joked, leaning up to kiss Jason's cheek.

"Killer," Tori said with a laugh, looking over at Kira, who was rocking a now sleeping Talee and sighed, "That is so adorable."

Kim giggled, "It is, Jase… when are WE gonna start having kids?" She looked up at Jason, gauging the look on his face.

"I… uh… I…" Jason stuttered stepping back from Kim. "Hey Adam, didn't we… weren't we… we're going to the hardware store, be back later honey!" Jason called, literally dragging Adam out of Kira's back yard.

"Works every time," Kim said with a laugh, causing the girls to break out into laughter. "Now I can go sun myself in peace, I'll see you girls later okay?"

"Yup, bye Kim," Kira said with a smile, as she headed into the house to lay Talee down, Tori trailing in behind her.
