AN: Alright so we answer our unanswerable question! *pauses* Ok well you know what I mean. Forgive me, my brain is slow! Not a word Roman! So Ash knows who might be able to help and that's all I'm saying about the chapter, cause that's all I know about it! So well I guess sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own Fie and Roman owns Grace and Dara!

Dara sat in the sand on the beaches of Neratiti, her toes digging into the sand as she wrapped her arms around her knees. The waves were keeping her sane, for the moment. Ash and Sav were talking with Grace, Otto sitting behind her, giving her space. Well as much space as he could without one of the Others killing him.

"I want answers." Dara said softly.

Otto moved closer and rubbed her back. "I know, but we don't know who would even have those answers."

Dara sighed.

"I think I might know someone." Ash said as the adults joined them.

Savitar stared at Ash over the tops of his sunglasses. "Who the hell do you know that I don't?"

Ash smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

"You bet I do. I'm older than you are." Sav said, a slight pout in his voice.

Acheron laughed. "Think real hard old man. You know him too. In fact, you introduced us."

Savitar stood with his head bowed, his hands on his hips trying to figure out who Ash was talking about. Dara bit her lip, trying to contain her laughter as he shook his head.

Suddenly a look of recognition crossed his face. "Takeshi?"

Ash nodded. "Who do we know who's more secretive than we are?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?" Savitar asked.

Ash shook his head. Dara laughed. That could be a rather long list.

"Fine, call his surliness here." Savitar said. "Worse that happens is he doesn't know."

Ash nodded. "TAKESHI!"

Dara and Otto covered their ears.

"A little warning next time, boss man." Otto groused.

Dara rubbed her ears as black smoke rose from the ground and an ancient Asian warrior stepped out.

"What can you two possibly need? You're both getting laid so you can't possibly have that many bodies for me to bury." He noticed Dara and Otto sitting on the beach. "They still seem to be breathing."

Ash laughed as Sav rolled his eyes.

"I'd hope so, well at least the girl." Savitar said. "The guy I could go either way on."

"Dad!" Dara admonished.

Savitar grinned as the metal concealing the warriors face folded down.

"Dad? As in father? As in you got some chick pregnant? Is that possible?"

Ash pointed at Takeshi as he looked at Dara and Otto. "They've been like this since I met them. And seeing as that was 11,000 years ago, they haven't changed a bit."

"Can it, Atlantian." Savitar snapped. "Well kinda, Takeshi. Truth is my wife was pregnant when we got together, but that's neither here nor there. What's important is she stays breathing."

Takeshi circled her. "You called me for what exactly? I'm not a herder."

Savitar snorted as Ash took a seat next to Dara.

"And so it begins." Ash whispered.

"Oh no, but it was an honorable profession years ago?" Savitar taunted.

Takeshi snorted. "For my mother, not me. You on the other hand..."

Savitar rolled his eyes. "Fight any old ladies lately? I know where there's a good nursing home so you can get some practice in. Hate for all that, talent, to go to waste."

Dara stood up. "Others, as entertaining this show is, can we continue it later? I'd kind of like to know why Nick is after me."

Takeshi looked at her. "She's just like you. Brave to the point of stupidity."

"Hey!" Dara and Sav snapped in unison.

"Little girl, I might know why, but it is up for you to find your heart in order to show him he is wrong."

Sav frowned. "What does that mean?"

"Just that. Your daughter must find her heart, and herself, in this battle in order to defeat Nick."

"So I can kill him?" Dara asked hopefully.

Takeshi laughed. "Little girl, you're no match for his powers. Not even I am a match once he unlocks them all. When the time is right you will know what to do. Follow your gut girl, it might be the only thing to save you," he looked at Otto, "both."

Savitar frowned even more. "Look, can't you just give us a straight answer? I'm not letting Nick hunt my daughter."

Takeshi scoffed. "What happened to all that changing the future and bad for the world bull crap you spew? Don't tell me you've given up on the humans."

Savitar shook his head. "Never, but this is my daughter-"

"Which is exactly why I've already told you more than I should have. You can't change it this time, Savitar-san. Changing the future might destroy the world, although your ugly mug might do it too." Ash laughed. "Well as lovely as this visit has been, I must get going. Ash, see you Saturday at nine. This time we will beat Toby. Savitar's daughter, lovely meeting you. Savitar, a joy sparring with you as always. Next time call, yeah?"

Before the others could say a word, he was gone.

Otto grinned. "I like him."

"Shut up, Fido." Savitar snapped.

Okay so this chapter was all Katie. I mean, I helped her with some of the Ash/Sav banter before Takeshi showed but the rest was her. So, let us know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading.
