Thanks to Soleil-Lune, Ten'ousai, moonqueen, X00001, amnesia nymph for reviewing. And thanks to everyone who reviewed every chapter. You guys are awesome!!
I don't own Sailor Moon or the rights blah blah blah.
This fic was rated M for violence, adult themes and situations, and language.
Alex slowly came to, her whole body aching. She slowly opened her eyes and bright fluorescent lights promptly assaulted them. She blinked as her eyes adjusted. "Alex! Thank god! We were beginning to get worried," a man's voice said.
She looked up in the face of a man with dark brown hair. "Nick? Zee? Jade?" she asked softly as she sat up. She rubbed her head. "What happened? Where am I?"
"Those uh…those aren't our names," Zee said. "My real name is Zoisite."
"Nephrite," Nick replied.
"Jadeite."
"You're the…" she realized as they nodded. "But…how? I thought you had died…" she said in confusion.
"Well…we did die," Jadeite said.
"But somehow Hikari-sama was able to revive us as she died. And Demando," Zoisite put in.
"So it wasn't a dream…" she whispered.
"No. And we're sorry…for not being able to protect you better," Nephrite said.
"It's okay." She looked up. "The others?"
"A little worse for wear but fine," Jadeite said.
"And Usagi?"
The three men looked at each other. "Well…she's either eating…" Zoisite began.
"Sleeping…" Nephrite put in.
"Or worrying over Seiya. He's still unconscious. Took the brunt of the blast meant for Hotaru," Jadeite finished. "She hasn't left his room once."
"The others that got hit are recovering," Nephrite said.
"How long was I out?"
"Two weeks, give or take a day," Safiel said as he, Demando, and Kunzite walked in. A large bandage covered his forehead and a woman with dark green hair was at his side. Alex knew that the woman was Petz.
"And Seiya is awake now," Demando added.
Alex nodded, relieved. "So everyone's okay…"
"Not…not everyone…" Kunzite said. Alex looked up at him, confusion on her face. "Michiru-san's twins, Kaze and Mika. They've gone."
"Gone?" Alex frowned. "Gone where?"
"We don't know. They just said it's time for them to fulfill their destiny and they were gone," Demando said.
"Twins…" Alex murmured with a frown. Her eyes widened. "That…it… they…" she stammered.
"Speak English," Demando said.
"Michiru's twins. They've become the avatars for Order and Chaos."
"That's crazy!" the six men returned.
"She could be right," Petz said. "I mean, you did say that Hikari and Kaosu were twins," she pointed out.
"Poor Michiru-san…" Jadeite whispered. The others nodded in agreement.

Alex knocked on the door to Michiru's apartment. The door opened and Alex offered the Sea Senshi a soft smile. "Alex…not that I'm not glad to see you, but why are you here?" she asked.
"Came to see how you were doing." The platinum haired Senshi held out a red rose. "It's not perfect, this is a bit spontaneous and all."
Michiru smiled and took the rose. She stepped aside and ushered Alex inside. "It is to me," she said as the taller woman removed her shoes. She showed the Senshi of Skies inside. Michiru placed the rose into a vase with the one Alex had given her in the hospital several weeks ago. "You came because of the twins…didn't you?"
"I came to see how you were holding up. I can't imagine how hard it is for you to…lose I guess is the word I'm looking for, your children."
Michiru sat down and nodded. "It…it is hard…demo…" she fell silent and shook her head. "I have no idea what I'm trying to say. I just…I wish they didn't have to fight each other now."
"I'm sorry."
"This isn't your fault Alex. And don't say it is either," Michiru said as Alex opened her mouth. "Things happen for a reason." She smiled faintly. "At least they'll be safe. Setsuna-san said the avatars don't fight. They lead."
"Still sucks though."
Michiru laughed softly, a trace of bitterness in her voice. "Yes. Yes it does."
"Come on," Alex suddenly said, rising to her feet. "You need to get out of here. And I won't take no for an answer."
"Can I at least know where we're going?" Michiru rose to her feet as well.
"I don't know. Can you?" Alex teased.
Michiru pouted. "May I know?" she corrected, sticking her tongue out.
"I thought I was the kid in this relationship," Alex grinned, embracing Michiru. "And don't stick that out at me unless you plan to use it."
"Later," Michiru whispered.
"Good. Because I'm taking you out to enjoy yourself. All my treat." Michiru smiled and the pair kissed. Both were glad that peace had finally come and that their souls had found each other again.
