A/N Hello again peoples.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Terra Nova or any of its characters. I do in fact own a TV in my bathroom (This is important, remember this).

The floor slightly creaked and Zoe stopped in place. She knew that if a person heard something, they would usually stop until they heard it again, so staying in place and not moving was the best idea.

She also knew that no one was home, for Taylor had left for nyko hunting and Skye had moved out.

Slowly she snuck around the corner and saw it. Sitting there in its glass box. Lucas' control. The box was about the size of a small shoe box with textured rounded corners and a greenish purple shine to it. That box, was Zoe's hope for getting information exactly on the boy who made it. Sneaking around the corner, she quickly sprayed her aerosol can around, checking for hidden laser beams.

There weren't any.

Zoe frowned. This wasn't like Taylor. He always had extra persuasions on everything. Then again, his house had a heavily coded alarm system, which took Zoe two hours instead of the twenty minutes she thought she would need. This shortened her time to get in for the box and get out before Taylor noticed. Also, it may have been a way to gloat at Lucas that he found his box so invaluable that he didn't take the precautions of guarding it. She slid on her feet, for she was wearing boots two sizes bigger and hospital booties to cover up any footprints. She also wore gloves, but she knew never to touch anything other than the object in which one was stealing. Zoe knew how to steal stuff.

The glass case was another problem. Even though there was no security around it, the casing needed a six digit security code that was enforced with anti-oxides and other dangerous chemicals that would destroy the object inside. It was also so coded that there was no chance of cracking it before Taylor got home and if she tried to break the case, alarms would sound throughout the colony. Her only chance was to guess the numbers.

0….1, 1….2…3…5...8?

Zoe sighed in relief as the safe clicked and hissed once, letting her take off the case with ease. Eighth grade math now really came in handy.

Taking off the glass case, she rested it on the floor. Slowly she pulled the box to her chest, waiting for alarms or anything of sort that would alarm Taylor or any guards that she was there. Luckily, there wasn't any. Zoe slipped the box into her green backpack, for she was still wearing her soldier uniform. She made her way out of the house, not even bothering to replace the glass case or lock the door as it had been.

The streets were busy and crowded for it was Sunday, a market day where all the salesmen would pull out the new stocks and sell them at high prices. For Zoe this was good, it meant cover and she could buy supplies while she was at it.

"How much for the rebreather?" she asked one marketer, who was known for having junk from 2149.

"Why would a youngling like you, want a rebreather?" He said in a thick accent, leaning on the table and smiling at her with a mouth full of lost teeth. "It's junk anyways."

"Does it still work?" Zoe ignored his questions, but it was almost impossible to ignore his stench of breath.

"Yup, how much ya willing to pay for it lass?" He asked.

"Uh… ten terras." Zoe reached into her pocket and pulled out ten terra coins.

"Ten terras! Missy you got it all wrong, this is the only rebreather in Terra Nova, and you expect me to get only ten terras!?" He was trying to con her into paying more.

"You said it was junk anyways," Zoe shrugged and put the terras back in her pocket. "I guess I'll go somewhere else…" She started to walk away and she felt the gaze of the shop owner on her back.

"Wait! Fine how bout eleven terras eh? But that's as low as I'll go!" Zoe smiled as she spun herself around, placing the coins on his table as she snatched the rebreather and placed it in her pocket. "T-thank you missy! For your business!" He stuttered as she walked away towards home. She didn't have much time and it nagged back in her head. She had to get home, get supplies and bust Mira out of her cell before nightfall. Otherwise Taylor would catch her and throw her in the brig. Or worse, banish her.

She pushed her way through her house door and stuffed her back with as much supplies as she could. Food, water, an extra pair of brown and gray clothes. Her I.D. that was important. If she showed the guards that she was Terra Novan, they would let her do her work in peace. If she didn't have her I.D., she would be shot on sight.

"Hey."

Zoe jumped. Miles was standing right behind her, looking embarrassed about something. "Oh, uh… hi Miles…" Zoe stammered. He was wearing a green plaid shirt and jeans.

"Hey uh… can we talk about you know…" He scratched the back of his neck. "Your birthday… you know… that night…"

"Miles…" She stopped him. She couldn't discuss this with Miles. Not now. "I'm a bit busy here…"

"But it's important." Miles stepped closer, so Zoe stood up until they were face to face. Or as much as face to face could be for he was six inches taller. "I want to talk about it."

"I don't." Zoe stated.

Miles sighed and reached up, tracing her jawline with his thumb just as he did that night. It sent heat and fire up Zoe's spine, making her want to shudder in excitement. "I don't regret it Zoe… I don't regret one second." This time, Zoe couldn't help herself as she stood on her tip toes and kissed him on the lips, cupping his face in her hands. His hands fluttered down to her waist, pulling her closer to him. Slowly she pulled her face away, taking in his heat and beat of his heart as she leaned on his chest, one hand on her back and the other fiddling with a piece of her hair. "Stay here." He murmured into her ear. She felt like she was cheating him, deceiving him, lying to him for what she was going to do. But then again, she really was. "Just stay here forever."

"I can't do that Miles." Zoe sighed. She would have to face it. She was in love with Miles. No matter how much she tried to push it away, it always came back in short sequences of time, never to be mentioned again. Her birthday and just ten were only a few to mention, as well as being forced to go together to a ball that someone had been held, in which it resolved in Zoe sleeping on Miles' shoulder most of the time. Another time in high school, there was a game of spin the bottle going on and Miles' spun landed on her. "Look Miles, I have work to do." She kissed him once more, feeling their lips lock into place perfectly. "I promise I'll be back. I promise." She whispered into his ear. This was real promise. This one she knew she would fulfill.

"Pinkie promise?" Miles held up one hand with his pinkie extended out. She gripped it with her own.

"Pinkie promise." He let her go and she slung her backpack over her shoulder again. She would have all the supplies she needed for now anyways. She waved goodbye to Miles and he waved back. She would be back for him… if she wasn't shot.

"You ready for this?" Mira asked, holding on to Lucas' control in front of the portal. After the events with Lucas destroying the old portal, 2149 sent through new pieces to build a new one. Luckily, the control that Taylor's son had made still worked on it. "You sure it's worth it?" Mira asked. Zoe had broken her out of her cell a few hours ago, because Mira was the only one who still knew the controls other than Taylor and Lucas.

"Yes. I have a plan." Zoe was ready. She knew what she had to do for Mira. It was the right thing to do. For the colony. For a family. "Just go in, get Sienna and come right back." That wasn't much of a plan.

"It may be a bit more complicated than that child." Mira muttered before turning on the portal. The blue light illuminated the darkness around them. The wind picked up, and Zoe brushed her hair out of her face. The roaring of the portal hurt her one usable ear.

"Freeze right there Mira!" Taylor pulled up in a rover. Her father, mother and Miles hopped out of the sides. Both Taylor and Jim had their pulse rifles, but Miles and Elizabeth came empty handed. "Zoe?" Taylor didn't move as he questioned her. "Zoe! Zo girl what are you doing there? Zoe… you can't be working for Mira! You can't!" Taylor yelled, though he was drowned out by the noise.

"Zo, sweetie just come right back here," Elizabeth cooed, trying to draw her closer. "Nothing bad will happen, I promise." She was scared. Scared of Zoe. Zoe barely suppressed a scoff. If only she could tell them who she was doing this for, then they would understand.

Promise, promise, promise. The words echoed themselves through her brain. She promised Miles she would be back… but she also promised Mira she would help. She made a deal. "Mira… don't tell them anything." Zoe muttered just loud enough for Mira to hear.

"Zoe! Please come back! Stay here!" Miles called to her, grief stricken on his face. If only he knew… if only he knew….

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Zoe cried. She was. She was sorry that it had come to her own family to pull guns on her. She looked at Miles one more time before letting herself fall backwards.

Backwards into the future.

A/N So that was the deal. In a sense really. For those of you who didn't catch it, the deal was the Zoe goes back into the future for Sienna and if she accomplishes, Mira will tell them everything she knows on the Phoenix and Lucas as well as fighting with Terra Nova.

R&R please! Really please!
