Various things from bite marks, cuts and long gashes from their fingernails, kisses, blood, gasps of pain and pleasure, bits and pieces of what had happened last night, but none of it was clear enough to really puzzle together.
But she knew her bra was missing.
Also that the sheets were ripped, the glasses they'd been drinking from rolled under the bed. The wall had a hole in it from Kevin's fist. How that piece of rage got there was blurry, but how her jeans had decided to hang from the wall stuck on the 'art' Kevin had plastered there was even blurrier.
Some flashy form of groaning from beside woke her a bit further, but it didn't really click so she ignored it. She rolled to her other side and yawned, looking at her shoes on the floor. The shoe laces were still tied.
And then she realized she was naked.
A long scream echoed about the ship as Unta quickly dove/swam behind a large coral as Druce flushed, pressing his face to the glass. "Y-You have it so e-easy." he whimpered, the only other in the room besides the mer-child. "Y-You can't g-get in t-trouble in a t-tank." he mumbled.
The teen woman peered from behind her coral safety shield, eyebrow raised. "Don't say things like that." she whispered, her voice soft and watery. "You aren't in a tank forever." she said softly with a sigh.
"It won't b-be forever." Druce said as he looked up, hand to the glass as Unta slipped around toward the front of her tank, placing her hand to it as if to touch Druce's.
"Promise?" she asked softly, her face longing. Druce smiled, nodding as he pressed his hand closer.
"P-Promise. B-But right now I-I gotta g-go, g-gotta go c-clean up a m-mess." he stuttered out, looking back in the direction of the scream. Unta nodded back, smiling and shooing him with her other hand.
"Go on, and be careful ok." her voice was sweet and calm as he left the room, walking into the dark hallway with a sigh as he rubbed his arm.
"I-I can do t-this." he stated, hand to his chest as he set out at a run. He pushed his hand out off his face, looking up to see the door kicked open as Gwen stormed out in a long and very quickly thrown on night dress. He groaned, watching her stomp toward the Naga's room.
He took a deep breath, letting it out quickly before rushing into the room as he saw Kevin sit up on his bed in his jeans, rubbing a large slap mark on his face.
"Oh, hey Druce. What're you doing up?" he asked the teen as he yawned. Druce took a deeper breath.
"I-I'm sorry. I-It w-was Kitten's i-idea, s-she made H-Hinu g-give you t-the o-orange juice a-an-"
"Orange juice? When did Hinu give us orange juice?" Kevin asked, an eyebrow raised as he looked over the stuttering teen.
"L-Last n-night." Druce stuttered out as his face flushed a brilliant red. Kevin stared at him awkwardly before shaking his head.
"Hinu didn't come in the room last night though Druce." he said simply. The younger male froze, his spine tingling.
"S-So y-you a-a-an-"
"Calm down Druce! Take a breath and tell me what's going on?" Kevin said standing and grabbing a black shirt from the floor as he adjusted his lip ring from the slap.
"K-Kitten... and H-Hinu... w-with the o-orange juice... b-but you d-didn't drink it... a-and... d-did you sl-sleep with mom last night?" the end of his sentence came out in a high pitched squeak.
"Don't you think that's kind of a personal question?" Kevin asked with a sly smirk as he pulled on two worn black socks. Druce turn a brilliant shade of burgundy.
"Y-You D-DID! I-I mean I kn-know you... but..." Druce held his head as he squeaked.
"Go talk to your sister." Kevin said simply, grabbing his boots as Druce quickly ran from the room, his face as red as it got. He huffed out, running toward the room he knew his sister to be in.
Once he got there he saw Gwen giving a large scolding to the red head as she sat happily on the stretcher, her face full of color as she chuckled every now and then.
"And then you go off and pull this type of stunt, trying to make it happen?" Gwen barked out as Druce quickly looked across the room.
Gorg lay in bed, towel over her eyes with a sigh. Druce shivered, walking to the naga.
"H-Has she... h-helped the b-baby yet?" he whispered, and Gorg only smiled, pointing toward the back of the room.
"Three hours of labor for him my darling, I have such a low tolerance for pain." she said wispily, and Druce walked around the bed to a crib which Hinu was currently standing over, arms on the bars as his tail flittered back and forth, an obviously elated father.
He swallowed a lump in his throat, walking over to the other side of the crib and holding back a chocking sob as he looked down at the baby boy.
He was half awake, kicking his human legs about, the cat looking ears atop his head twitching as he cooed and squirmed about in the blue blankets. Druce let out a wail, turning his back as he slid down the crib, his back to it as he cried.
The other occupants in the room hushed their banter as Kitten stood, running over to her brother. "Shhh, it's ok. He has 10 fingers, 10 toes. He's the same guy you know." she reassured him as she hugged him to her chest. Druce shook his head as he swallowed a lump down again.
"I-I wanna go h-home! N-Now!" he wailed out, clinging to his sister as she cradled him in her arms. Kitten looked up as Kevin entered the room, leaning against the doorway silently.
"I guess we've out stayed our welcome really." Kitten said softly, helping her brother stand as she held out her hand, pressing it to a wall.
"So, see you when she gives birth in 9 months?" Kevin asked with a chuckle.
"I am not pregnant! We did nothing last night!" Gwen barked out, glaring at the male as Gorg sighed.
"Hmm? If you insist on denying have se-"
"Do not even go there Kevin Levin, I will blast your head off." Gwen said with a huff. A large swirl began to spin outward from Kitten's fingers as she smiled, taking a step back.
"We'll see you both in a while!" Kitten said as the 'portal' turned glass like, a tall blond male with green dyed tips and cat like ears atop his head as he turned, waving franticly from the other side.
Druce looked up nearly shrieked in joy, tears rolling down his face. "ITIS!" he screamed out as he ran through the glass, he was quickly scooped up and clung to as the two kissed, silent as they sobbed and held each other close on the other side. Kitten could only smile.
"Remember to have him mom, if not you'll have one angry cat on your hands." she said with a chuckle.
"He's part dog, not cat." Hinu corrected sternly as he looked up with a slight glare, Gorg only laughed happily as she reached out to take her mates hand. "And my son. Our son." he kissed Gorg's hand as he turned back to her.
"Yea, see. Lovey dovey crap. My parents need to do that. Oh! And uh, catch, dad." Kitten pulled out a small velveteen box from her pocket and tossed it at Kevin with a sigh. The 19 year old looked at it with a puzzled expression, catching it in one hand and turning it over.
He chuckled after a minute, looking over to Gwen as she gave him her own puzzled expression.
"I know you're still mad at me," he said to Gwen, wrapping an arm around her waist as she glared after he walked over. "But those two if nothing else deserve life right?" he said as Kitten rolled her eyes, walking into the glass like portal with a tired yawn.
Gwen grumbled, looking away as she crossed her arms defiantly. "Do I get another chance?" he whispered so only she would hear it. The words were very gentle and Gwen looked up at him, her face flushed.
"I... I'll think about it. Think. And I'm not pregnant." she mumbled, never once removing his hand from her waist as she looked down to her feet, now finding them extremely interesting.
"Hinu, redirect our course to Earth once you're done cooing over your brat." Kevin barked, letting go of Gwen quickly as he shifted his weight. "I need a shower." he stated with a chuckle as he walked out of the room, pocketing the box after tossing it up once.
"He's insufferable!" Gwen stated as the door closed, huffing as she walked over to the crib and smiled down at the baby. "I thought we were already going to Earth." she whispered with a smirk.
Gorg chuckled, sitting up and moving hair from her face. "Kevin is known to change his mind Ms. Gwen." she said simply. Gwen only smiled and sighed.
"Ugh, the worst part is, I know that already."
"So... we have to tell your grandfather now?" Edwin asked, feet planted firmly in their place as he looked at the large doorway.
"Yes, /inow/i Eddie, don't worry though. This is Grandpa Max, my grandpa Max, everything will be fine." Ben said as he laughed, walking back to take Edwin's hand and pull him along toward the doorway.
"He's going to hate me now Ben." Edwin stated, shivering.
"He doesn't hate you, he won't hate you, and you need to stop freaking out." Ben stopped them again, hands on either side of Edwin's shoulders as he kissed his forehead. "He'll understand." he restated.
Edwin just looked to the side, biting his lip. "Hey, none of that, I love you. I want grandpa to know that." And with that Ben started dragging the more than reluctant teen inside the building.
"But don't we have more pressing matters to worry about? One of them being finding your missing cousin." Edwin groaned out as he tried pulling back as Ben pulled him along the halls.
"We've been scanning for her mana traces and grandma is being contacted to track her down. Don't worry, just because I'm not out there looking like a hound dog doesn't mean I'm not worried." he smiled as he pushed the door open, looking into the room.
"Grandpa! You in here?" his voice echoed about the room, a soft turn of footsteps as the man in question came into view, rag in hand as he wiped it clean of oil.
"Ben, Eddie! How are you two?" he called, waving them over. Ben smiled, a tight grip on the darker haired brunette as he dragged him along.
"Grandpa, I have some news. You got any for me?" Ben asked as he pulled Edwin in front of him, head on his shoulder as the older man went back to work.
"No, haven't heard from your grandma yet. What's your news, find Gwen yet?" Max asked, adjusting the wrench in his hand as he kept his eyes on the machine.
"I'm going out with Eddie, like, dating going out." as the words slipped out Edwin tried shrinking into nothing, his face drained off color, then filled with the bright red you see with pain or embarrassment.
"With Eddie? I thought you were dating Julie?" and the room got quiet. Edwin quickly turned; looping his hands into Ben's as the older of the two looked down, eyes over shadowed.
Silence parted the conversation.
"Julie... Julie fell out of love with me... remember, Grandpa Max?" and the teen super hero left it at that. Edwin scooped up both his hands to his chest, lifting his face so he could see Ben's eyes.
"Hey, don't you start." he muttered gently, smiling the best he could. "This was our happy moment... Ben..." but he shook his head, looking away for a moment. All this unaware to the busy at hand retired Plumber.
A quick crackle sounded from the badge on the table and Max tapped it, a holo of Verdona sliding up. "Max, I've got some good news for you darling." the alien cooed.
Max looked up, nearly dropping his wrench, Ben and Edwin turning toward the badge sharply.
"I found our little darling, and she's on her way home."
