With all the crowded interrogation room, Mal was afraid all the situation will change in a metter of moments.

Kate and Rick where there and also his entire crew. He knew how Zoe and Inara react when they think he is in danger. What he didn't expect was Kaylee. He recognize Mr. Univers, he save him in the past, didn't trust him completely, but he trust him enough with his crew.

Everyone look confused. "Just take Rick and get out, now" he whisper in Kate's ear and she saw his face. "I have a gun." She replay confident. "Trust me detective, a gun is your worst defence with a fight with my crew." Just when he finish his sentence, Zoe, Jayne and Inara take out theyr guns and point them to Kate and Rick.

When they saw Rick and then Mal, the hall crew start look at eachother. aprouch Rick and take out his hand for a shake. "Hello, mr. Castle, I'm mr. Univers. It's an honor to meet you." Rick shake his hand confused. All of them where counfused. "Detectives, I can personaly vouch for this ladys, they have nothing to do with this murders. Why don't we all relax and try to figure out what happen since we left the ship and try to figure out a way back." In that moment, captain Gates open the door and announce that everyone is free to go. Kate and Rick relaxed and also Mal.

All this time, since he landed in NY, in Rick's house and Kate realize that he can be used as a consultant, Rick paid him a room in the same building with him, Kate moved with Rick (for protection reasons, yeah right) and Mal was spending a lot of time in Rick's loft.

So, when Gates let everyone go, probably because of the last part of his crew who teleport inside interrogation room, he invite his crew to stay with him until they manage to find a way back.

~~ at 8 o'clock that night ~~

Kate and Rick let them know that they are coming over around 8 for a debrif and Kate wanted to talk to Inara, Zoe and River, for every details they could remember, in a friendly way this time. So until 8, Mal and his crew, visite the city and where fascinated by all the colours and lights that where everywhere. Mal was in heaven.

Around 6 they where back in Mal's loft, for a bottle of wine and remembering old times. Mr. Univers was in heaven with all the war stories.

"What is happening? Really!" Mal asked Mr. Univers, just when a knock was heard from the front door. On the other side, Kate, Rick, Alexis, Ryan, Javi, Jenny and Lanie all have bright smiles. Mal invite them in and make the introductions, this time no one bring out their guns.

"Well…?" Mal was starting to get mad.

Mr. Univers almost choke at Mal's tone. Finaly, with his voice almost like a whisper he manage to tell them the story.

"About 3 days before your departure, I heard a news feed about Alliance who got really closed. Sending the Operative was a measure of despair from their side, but they wanted you out, for good. So I did what I thought was a right to secure our victory. So I send you here. At first I thought was for few days, a month at most. But then, I realize that with you gone, they wanted all of your crew and everyone that help you long time gone. So I manage to send everyone eather in other places of the univers, that could be hard to find, or like you and the girls, in time. " he almost choke again.

Everyone was listening him carefully. Kate wanted to know Mal and his crew and make sure that she can trust them and Mal and his crew where just very confused about how they travel here and why.

"Ok, but way here and why in 2012?" Mal ask everyone's question.

"I send you on your blood line. Richard and Katherine are your relatives, some grand-grand…. parents." At that explanation, Kate, Rick and Mal choke in the same time. Everyone else laugh at their reaction.

"That's why you look like my dad." Alexis comented and Kate and Rick choke again. Kate flush so hard.

"In Mal's case was important to stay alive and be ready to fight at every moment. I had no idea when I could bring him back and what will I find then. I study a lot of patterns and possible places I coulded send him and your dad and detective Beckett where the only logical place, to really keep him safe and still ready to fight. The time travel is not a very developed tehnology. I had no idea how everything will manage, but the environment around here is proper to sustain his abilities and teach him how to use them. The best version to send someone in time and have a big chance to bring them back better than the moment they left, is to sending them on their blood line." He was serious and everyone was looking at each other.

"Wait… you say that…." Kate was a whisper, she was scared. Rick get close to her, put his hand on her sholder to confort her. She turn to look in his eyes and then he saw it. She was smiling, the kind that is destin just for him and the kind that feel his hurt with love. Bassicly this guy just announce everybody that him and Kate will have a baby.

It was his dream to marry this extraordinary and challenging woman, but to let know like that by a guy who sims to a little older that Alexis in a little odd. But her smile…. her love for him… he felt something in ribs that bring him back. Rick look around and saw Kate and Alexis where starring at him.

"Yes, you and Mr. Castle will have a baby in about an year." He stop when he saw Kate face. A combination of afraid, happy and unknown. Rick pretty much had the same face.

I send him here, hoping he will also learn some other skills and keep his innocent hart. I send the girls in an abandon place just to keep them safe. I knew they have Zoe to keep them safe, Inara is sneaky enough and versatile enough to keep them alive and at mom
