-----

President Garland gave a grunt. He had reports to read on how the Galbadian Army posted at Timer was failing. Last time Galbadia had attacked Timber it had fallen into their clutches within a day. This time it had become a long drawn out affair spanning months. It was common knowledge that Sorceress Rinoa had been helping the cause as she had years ago.

Of course the reports had changed recently. Lady Rinoa had started changing her tactics. They were smarter now. Instead of openly using force to delay or distract the army, she was using indirect means of hampering them. Her latest escapade was setting fire to the warehouse containing the army's rations. That was a problem easily fixed by money and a train with more rations. She was only delaying the inevitable fall of Timber and making Garland's pocket wince.

A g-soldier slipped into his office laying down the latest reports from the army. Garland scanned it with annoyance. One of the Galbadian SeeDs was found dead and his hired Class A Elite had gone missing. It was assumed the second had killed the first. Garland was almost inclined to agree with this until a he saw the cause of death.

Hastily he shuffled through his desk for the report on the warehouse fire. Both victims head been killed by wounds to the throat. Both reports assume a sharp object such as a dagger, knife, or glancing sword strike. He dismissed the sword theory as too chancy to killed two different people the same way. Instead he focused on the knife or dagger.

Kina Patil had wielded a dagger. He had written her off as dead as he had ordered when she never reported in on her last meeting date. He also heard no word from Headmaster Martine in regards to promoting her. He turned to his digital display and called up Garden records. His newly elected Headmaster was eating out of his palm. The simpleton had granted him full access to garden records. He found a missing persons report on Kina Patil filed by one of her body guards. Oddly enough it had been retraced in a similar time frame as Lady Rinoa had changed her tactics.

He laid out all his information as he thought. Kina had disappeared, but had never been reported as found. The sorceress helping the resistance had changed tactics around the same time. Months later the only causalities in the war were both potentially dagger inflicted wounds. While the disappearance could not be explained, the chances that the sorceress had changed could not be ruled out. Garland knew Rinoa's history. She was a pacifist and used the Blaster Edge. The new reports pointed to someone other than Rinoa as the resistance's key member.

"That little bitch." He snapped sharply. He re-read the last report his annoyance stemmed, seems as his hired help had figured it out. He was going after the sorceress to finish his job. He would have to be sure to give him a bonus soon for being on top of the game.

Nadia was laughing so hard she felt as though she were going to die. She slammed her hands on the table nearly dipping her acid green hair into her food. Her golden eyes teared up as another wave of laughter shook her body. "I don't think I look all that funny." Cooper sighed leaning on the mop.

"It's not your clothes… it's your face." She shrieked. Sam and Reggie were sitting beside her at the dinner table fighting snorting as they tried to contain their laugher.

"She's a liar. It's your clothes." Reggie said finally unable to hold back howling with laughter.

Sam took another look at the man. He had been disguised to look like Laguna since the real Laguna had not been out of Esthar for years. Even when he had it had only been to Windhill. He was dressed in simple work clothes, but had put on a white apron and a handkerchief around his head. The effected was complete with mop and a bucket of water at his feet.

Cooper rolled his eyes retreating from the room bucket and mop in hand. Nadia stumbled laughing after him. "Coop! Coop! Stop I'm sorry." She gasped clutching her stomach.

"It's alright. I must look ridiculous. I hate this face you've given me can't you change it?" He pouted. She rubbed the tears out of her eyes smiled at him. Silently she reached up and removed the handkerchief.

"You're right. I have to change that face. If you try to kiss me I'll gag. The idea of kissing my grandfather is not appealing." She waved her hand. Laguna's face was gone replace by a brown eyed blonde haired man.

"What is it with you and long hair?" He snapped brushing the long locks out of his eyes. "Are you still infatuated with Irvine? Or do all the men you like have long hair?"

She frowned. "Did you know Irvine is getting married?" She saw the joy flicker across his face just before the frown did. She didn't even want to deal with him. She was certain he was excited that she had no right to love Irvine now. She dodged the arm that reached out towards her and stomped up the stairs to her room. "Don't forget to clean the bathroom." She shouted before slamming her door.

She felt the tears welling up in her eyes. She had really loved Irvine. Stomping to her desk she reached for her little black book. Opening the journal of events she saw the next event was going to happen today. She did a double take. Under the date on the page was a specific spell. It looked like a portal spell but she didn't understand the extra variables. She would have to take the journal with her today as the spell was too complex to remember. She hated that. Counting the months in her mind she realized she was just less than three years old. She had crammed her mind so full when she was young and now she had to repeat things often to commit them to memory.

Wiping away the tears she set the book down thinking if she should pack anything extra. Maybe she should bring a damp towel in case Cooper decided to slice more people open in front of her. She felt slightly bad that, while she had been shocked by the murders, she had been unable to weep or feel for the people he had killed. She hadn't even really gotten to know Natalia during the exam. At most Natalia just seemed pushy and obsessed with fine dining. Shrugging off the useless thoughts she began to put together a list of things she thought she should have.

Swinging open the door she met resistance and an angry curse. "Oh did I hit you with the door?" She questioned. Looking around the door she saw it was Cooper and huffed. "Good." She snapped and dashed by.

Cooper still rubbing his face, watched Nadia retreat. His features flickered from regret to confusion. He shrugged off his emotions and with a blank face and slipped into her room. Once inside he looked through her room hands playing over the sheets of the unmade bed. He ignored the bunk beds entirely. Crouching down to look under the bed he pulled out a box filled with stuff animals. Picking the ice queen doll out from the rest he flipped the gift tab open. "To Little Nadie Love Papa. So that's why she calls the Commander that." He murmured.

He tossed the doll back into the box shoving it back under the bed. He turned to the desk where her digital display lay on resting mode. The screen saver flashed showing pictures of the infamous heroes from the Ultimecia Incident. He frowned noticing the little blonde girl hanging on Zell Dincht's leg. Another picture of the same girl slightly older hanging upside down as Selphie Tilmitt and Quistis Trepe held Quistis's whip taught for her to dang from. That picture scattered away showing a little baby in the arms of the Sorceress Rinoa being held by Squall Leonhart. Irvine was next flashing to the screen with a recent picture of Nadia standing at his side. He had an arm carelessly throw around her shoulders and her face was beaming.

He poked the screen waking it up then promptly ignored the display. His hand hesitantly reached for the little black book next to it. Reluctance clear on his face before determination won out and he snatched the book off the desk. He flipped through the first page his eyes noting the date. "Ra-" He didn't finish reading aloud. Stumbling over to the bunk beds he sat down. He curled himself over the book elbows on his knees. He stared at the page a few moments longer, before finally straightening his posture and flipping to the next page.

"Hmph." He muttered looking down at the page detailing his heartless murder of a soldier and the fire at the warehouse. Irritably he flipped the page again. A grin unrestrained now crossed his features. "Thank you Hyne." He prayed flipping the page ignoring the tucked in wedding invitation. He looked down at the notes on the next page sighing. 'Cooper killed Natalia. Cooper joins resistance (trust?).'

"How odd- the handwriting on the dates doesn't match Nadie's." He whispered flipping to the next page. It was blank except for today's date at the top. Hastily he flipped through the rest of the pages finding scattered days space for notes and nothing else. The second half the book was completely empty down to the final page. Standing up he stared at the book in his hands a moment before placing it back where he found it.

Pacing over to the cabinet he opened the first drawer. Dainty average underwear sat in a impeccably folded pile. He slide the drawer shut dismissing the second and third drawers uninterested in men's clothing. The fourth and final draw held a box. Kneeling down to pop the box open he saw lacy silver lingerie. Again a frown was on his face as he stroked the under garments slowly.

"What are you doing in my room?" Nadia snapped a half filled bag in her arms. She saw Cooper shoot up guiltily. His eyes were defensive and gave nothing away. She was furious, what had he been doing, he had been up here a good twenty minutes alone. How long had he been going through her things?

"You should wear that… it's sexy." He grinned. She felt the old twinge of happiness she had felt in the garden around him. Shaking her head she dispelled the feeling as the ghost sensations of Natalia and the mystery soldier's blood on her face came back.

Absently she touched her face checking for blood before she retorted. "Get out of my room now!" He gave a fake look of surrender throwing up his arms pacing out of the room.

"Yes mistress! I'll get right to cleaning mistress! I won't miss a spot I swear!" He snickered waving the mop at her from the other side of the door way. She shrieked uncontrolled slamming the door in his face. She swore she heard, "I'm sorry." come meekly from the other side but dismissed it as un-Cooper-like.

Rushing over to the open drawer she stared down at the offensive lingerie. Her mother had sent it with a cryptic message 'for when you love someone'. She didn't understand why women would wear such uncomfortable things. In her romance novels there were worn for effect, but having tried it on once she didn't like how it had felt against her skin. She didn't feel the least bit protected as she did in her normal underwear.

Giving a sigh she reached to close the drawer. Pausing she stared down at the undergarments again feeling guilt overcome her. He mother had sent those to her a year ago and she hadn't actively worn them. She did not often get gifts from her mother. When she had she was sure her mother had tried to think of something useful. Like things that she worn often enough, but probably didn't consider that Nadia would need them at all.

She used her father's gifts all the time, after all she could spare the time to cuddle up to a stuff doll for a moment. Setting up a position to get comfortable in and use the music sphere had become too time consuming. She gave a sigh and decided to wear her mother's gift out of respect.

"Look I know this sounds bad, but I really would feel safer if you took Cooper with you. He's trained just as much as we are and he knows the troop patterns more than we do." Sam said. Reggie was fuming in the corner uncomfortable with the situation. Cooper was standing smugly behind Nadia ready and armed to the teeth to kill an army for her. Or so he said, but Sam had patted him down and admitted to feeling no weapons.

"Reggie, are you okay with this?" She said genuinely concerned because he was. Cooper huffed behind her but she just waved him off.

"I'm not okay with this but Sam is right. I know Cooper can keep you safe physically." He said glaring at the man behind her. "So go do the transport run, but remember everyone can wait take your time- make sure no one sees you." She nodded calmly before heading towards the door. "And Nadie for the love of Hyne change you damn hair."

She laughed waving the bangs out of her face. She had modeled her hair after Cooper's trying to achieve the punk look today. "Don't worry about my hair. There is a girl four houses down with her hair dyed pink and no one picks on her." She shrugged off his concerned look. Considering his feelings was one thing, accepting his fashion advice another.

"You know he's right." Cooper said as they walked down the street towards the shopping district. She shrugged him off in favor of focusing on her undergarments. She couldn't believe she had convinced herself to put on the silver monstrosity. She wasn't sure so much of her butt was suppose to be hanging out of her panties. Though she did like how her breast felt, even if she questioned if they would stay in place if she bent over.

She felt him lean into for a moment. Hotly his whispered into her ear, "You are walking a little funny today. Did you take my advice or are you scared of the soldiers finding you?" She blushed furiously her body shivering in response to his voice.

She couldn't control herself as she moan back. "Shut up." She could barely focus as he purposely blew into her ear. She could have sworn she saw Galbadian's blue but she wasn't sure.

"It's the lingerie isn't it?" He said a hint of lust lacing his voice. She didn't like how he was pushing her body's buttons one bit. She had to find a way to stop him now before she turned into a puddle of goo. She couldn't very well fall to her knees on the street.

"Rapist." The mood was sucked up instantly. She felt like she had caught fire as fast as Cooper had reacted taking a stoic position behind her again.

He was silent for quite a while before they passed a book store. "Hey- let's go in here I want to buy you something." He said in a flat voice. She nodded to him wondering why the urge to buy her a gift had emerged. Did he think buying her a book would get her to forgive him?

Inside two g-soldiers where questioning the clerk. "Have you seen anyone wearing this ring?" Instantly Nadia was aware of what kind of ring they were looking for. She tucked both her hands into her bag and wiggled her teleportation ring in. She had done the act discreetly between history and mechanics pretending to browser the aisles. Cooper was staring at her his eyes intense between the shelves. She stared back curiously.

What was he playing at this time? "Psst." She whispered winking at him. She needed him where she could see him she really didn't trust him when he was out of sight. His eyes grew wide suddenly. He shook his head furiously at her. She glared at him, "Get over here."

"Ma'am is something wrong?" One of the soldiers said calmly. She turned trying to feint confusion. She could hear Cooper shuffling from the other side of the book case. Silently she prayed to Hyne if he did kill someone to kindly have them bleed somewhere not on her.

"Zo, babe, you can't blow me if people are watching. You know I have performance issues." Cooper said crashing into her throwing her off balance. He jerked her hard to his side grinning sheepishly at the Soldiers. "Sorry I have exhibitionist dreams hampered by deep rooted childhood trauma." She blanched punching him in the chest.

Both the soldiers were silent their mouths parted open in shock. She would pay good gil to see their looks under those helmets. She could see one blushing his mouth trembling as if considering what to say to that.

"Well if you will excuse us, I'm going to try to get some head at the pet store." He said waving good bye and dragging Nadia with him. She was still in shock as they burst out onto the side walk the sun blinding her. "Walk faster." He said in a sharp voice letting her go.

"What?"

He did not relent in his pace. "I only said enough to stun them, they will put two and two together real quick. We have to get lost fast." She looked behind her to see the book store door open up and the soldiers looking around. "Damn I was hoping they were the stupid ones." He frowned as he broke out into a run.

She felt his urgency and followed. "It's my hair isn't it?" She gasped.

"You're an idiot." He shot back turning a corner. She focused on the sound of the soldiers giving chase not too far behind her. They were running down and alley she hadn't noticed before. Where it led she wasn't sure, but she trusted Cooper to keep her safe. She continued chasing after his figure when something she thought she would never see happened.

Cooper tripped sliding across the floor. "Don't stop." He shouted but she did out of instinct. She knelt beside him to check if he was okay. Turning sharply he glared at her, "Don't you ever listen?" She touched the red bruise on his face. She could see the blood beating up under the skin.

"Hey you!" A soldier shouted grabbing Cooper by the shoulder. She gave a squeak as the second soldier hauled her up to her feet.

"Hands off my woman if you know what's good for you." He threatened his hand stroking his bruised face. She wanted to correct him, but the other soldier had her pinned against him. She didn't like how he smelled he had a wheeze in his voice from running.

"Shut your trap kid. Show us your citizen card." The soldier snapped. Nadia didn't have time to focus on what Cooper was doing. She only had enough time to see a spark of silver behind his shoulder before the other soldier spun her around and shook her.

"Yeah bitch show us yo-"The soldier's voice was cut off when he started gasping for breath. Cooper's arm was over her shoulder a dagger clenched in his hand. She cried out seeing the splash of blood head straight for her face.

She had intended to start yelling at Cooper but she gagged on blood. She curled up her hands reaching for the wall. The taste copper taste in her mouth made her feel as though she would throat up. She could hear the thump of the body of the man that had just died. Resisting the urge to vomit she turned around. Cooper was nailed against the wall a sword pressed against his back. "Smart move, I can get you strung up and hung for the army to watch for that."

Cooper was looking at her with steel eyes a grin plastered on his face. Was he expecting her to do something? "You know I thought I had played it off good? How did you know?" She realized the soldier was only half focused on her as Cooper was talking.

"Your little prissy there is packing heat. The normal citizens or even the smart resistance members walk around with their weapons showing." She couldn't reach into her pack of he would stop her. She had to conjure some way out without him seeing her. She could try setting him on fire with her dagger, but she had never tried to channel the flame before. She could conjure ice spikes but he might notice and run her through before she could return the favor. Thunder and tornados would take as much effort and yield the same result.

The best she could hope for was to conjure a way out and Cooper to provide the distraction. "I see, I'll have to make sure she doesn't do that again." The soldier snorted. Nadia merely visualized the page from her journal hoping she got the spell right. She felt the spells working up building up to a climax before the energy was sucked right out of her. What had Ultimecia had her cast? She felt her knees give way from the sheer force of the spell. She noticed as she was going down that Cooper kicked his foot back nailing the soldier between the legs before he wrapped and arm around her and forced her back. They slipped together through the portal that formed behind her.

She felt the impact of intense cold, the brick walls giving way to vast white land. Where were they? "Nadia?" Cooper said laying her down. She saw the portal wink out just as the soldier got back to his feet. She tried to talk but could not. The last of her energy she spent her head rolled back and she slept.

Nadia glared at Cooper. He was standing beside her bed as she chattered passionately with Cooper. She had to thank Ultimecia somehow for the time travel spell. She was sitting in Trabia Garden of the past. She had been taken to the Garden as Cooper had been familiar with the surroundings to know where they were. There she had met the younger version on himself in the infirmary for various Training center wounds.

He was sitting in the bed next to her boosting about the scar that would eventually disappear on his back. She laughed watching his animated antics as he had explained the encounter. "I would have won too if I hadn't gotten blind sighted by that fly." She smiled at him. Oddly enough the younger Cooper was very cheerful and had a full head of hair a small ponytail curling into a perfect 'o'.

"So you like your hair long?" She questioned her eyes flickering to older Cooper on the other side of her bed. His face was stony as he stared at nothing in particular.

"Not really, I just haven't felt the urge to cut it. Mom says she will, but she keeps getting busy. She's an assistant nurse you know." He said smugly. Of course she knew it hadn't escaped her notice that her assistant nurse's last name was Dunlay. But she couldn't tell Cooper she already knew his name.

"So how old are you?" She said for Cooper had never admitted his own age to her.

"I'm fifteen, you?"

She grinned. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He made a challenging face. "I'm three." He clearly didn't believe her. "Oh fine, just yanking your chain, I'm seventeen." He threw another grin at her. She realized he acted just like the older Cooper. Always showering her in smiles and energy, but when this Cooper smiled at her it just felt more complete. She didn't feel like a part of him was missing when he smiled.

The door swished open as Cooper's mom slipped in. She was intently aware of Older Cooper tensing up. Hesitantly she sent a vibe of comfort to him with her mind. She was surprised to find him accept it subconsciously begging for more. She knew in present time she was 'gone'. Cooper never let her ask questions more than that.

"Why hello there dear." Cooper's mother cooed. She had soft brown hair pulled back in a pony tail. Nadia knew he had his mother's eyes. As the woman leaned over into Cooper's bed and kissed him on forehead he fussed.

"Mom! Not in front of Cara!" He whined. The realization hit her. Cooper was an utter and complete momma's boy. She wanted to laugh, but she resisting the urge knowing it would hurt his pride. She smiled warming remembering to answer to the fake name Cooper had given her.

"Oh I see." The woman said shooting a tense smile at Nadia. She could almost feel the daggers as Cooper's mother sized her up. She really wanted to open her mouth and inform her of how much Cooper chased after her in her time. "I needed to speak with Cara here anyway. Honey you are well enough to go so wait outside."

Nadia wanted younger Cooper to stay, he was such a sweet boy. She actually felt like she could wrap her arms around him and whisper sweet nothings into his ear. Much like his older self did to her. She wanted to see him smile and be happy always, why this didn't translate to the older him she didn't know.

When the door closed behind him the smile slipped off of her face. "I know you two aren't from around here and that you are going to leave the moment you are better." Nadia didn't like her serious ton and she could feel Cooper's mind going frentic. "Please promise me something."

"Depends what?" She shot back curious as to the urgency in her voice.

"No promise me now, before I tell you what it is." She said her face taking on a hard mask. She saw those eyes in Cooper, often before he did something she didn't like. But it was always for the best so she nodded her head.

"No we won't!" Cooper snapped. "I won't leave you." Mrs. Dunlay's head snapped in his direction. "Nadie take it down. Take this face off of me." He said his knuckles white against her bed railing. She obeyed him taking his illusion off. Mrs. Dunlay cried out rushing around the bed to him.

"Then you will. Thank you! I knew it." She cried embracing Cooper her face buried in his neck.

"Mom I can't. I won't leave you here." He whined his voice thick with emotion.

"What's going on!" Nadia hissed sitting up.

"Nadia- the day, she's heard. The missiles are coming. Today is the day Trabia Garden gets destroyed." He said tears falling. Nadia couldn't believe Ultimecia would send her back in time so close to this. What could she be here to do that she had already done?

"Take him away please. Keep Cooper safe. I have to stay here and help the survivors." Mrs Dunlay said her face red and puffy.

"Mother you can't you'll die!" He insisted shaking her. She was clearly use to his fussing. She waved his arms off her, her teary eyes focused on her.

"I know you're a sorceress the tests came back. You have a strong core, my son here from the future proves it. And if I am dead in the future I have to die here today doing my job." She snapped turning to Cooper. She watched all the life slip out of him. He had ceded to her command falling back by her side. "Are you her knight?"

She shook her head. "No I don't have a knight. He's actually a Galbadian solider and I'm part of the Timber Resistance," She stopped to consider how odd that sounded. "Crazy as it sounds it works out."

Mrs. Dunlay didn't seem impressed. "Do whatever you did to make him not look like himself again." She commanded. Nadia did as she was told almost certain that she would get spanked if she didn't. "Go keep yourself company." She ordered again to Cooper who reluctantly walked out of the room. "You, take my son and leave this place now the missiles will be here soon and you have to be far enough away. Go now and thank you ahead of time since I know you will succeed."

"To do what I have already done." She muttered looking at her hands. She was here to save Cooper! She didn't even want to consider what would be different if he wasn't alive.

"Wow that fight was amazing." Younger Cooper said bouncing around. He had expressed great pride that he and Nadia had the same weapons. For the sake of keeping his secret Nadia had noticed Cooper only use his whip.

"There is a clearing up head. You two rest I'm going to go take a piss." Older Cooper snapped trudging off. Nadia didn't like his bad attitude, but she put up with it. After all she couldn't imagine losing a parent once but then having to go back realizing you had to let it happen? She felt bad for having taken him along on this adventure. She was certain she could have saved Cooper alone.

"So is he your boyfriend?" Cooper said calmly to her. She liked being eye level with him. She shook her head. He gave a shaky laugh that left Nadia confused. Was he nervous around her? Why? She smiled warmly at him trying to make him comfortable, but he seemed to get worse. He shivered for a moment even under his heavy jacket.

"You okay?" She said worried now. He nodded blushing as they exited into the clearing. Only vaguely did she wonder how Cooper could remember there was a clearing here. As far as she knew he hadn't returned to Trabia in five years.

"Yeah, just a bit cold. Not sure how you aren't," he said pointing to her skirt and halter top, "you know I don't feel like I'm seeing the real you." She grinned realizing that was his discomfort. He probably wondered why her personality didn't match the green hair.

"Promise you won't freak out?" She whispered. He nodded with a serious face. She reached with her mind to turn off her necklace. She hadn't been herself in a very long time. She felt her hair tumble free plopping into the snow. Cursing mentally she kicked herself for not considering cutting it.

His eyes widen. "You're beautiful!" She laughed arching her back. He was crazy, this she was certain. She was not in the least bit as beautiful as he had stressed. She was pretty she was certain but her face was far to plain for her hair and eyes. Well last time it had been. Maybe she had filled out a bit, her face had been on the thin side last time she looked.

"Thank you that's sweet of you." She finally said when her laughter calmed. He was standing in front of her now a visible blush on his face. "Are you sure you're okay you're awfully red?"

"Yes I'm fine." Cooper muttered in the distance his mind replaying the memory. He was wrapped in a thick jacket much like his younger counter part. How could he have not connected the dots? He had been so attracted to Nadia when he had heard about her from Irvine. He had willing accepted watching over her at the garden for free. Having sex with her the night of the wedding was just a bonus. He hadn't realized she was a virgin but he was happy he had had her first. He had to admit though, he hadn't even been able to remember most of today from his memory until Nadia's insane hair that morning. They had already been in the past three days and it had taken all hi will power not to say what was going to happen. He knew he had seen her hair somewhere before, now his memory was being jogged of his first sexual experience.

Nadia would stare at him still not believe him as he lean in to kiss her. She would still be confused and at a loss. He could see it on her face when he pulled away. Determined to wipe that look of her face he kissed her again this time wrapping his arms around her. She kissed back that time her fingers curling into his hair pulling his pigtail free. "Coop," She would gasp. He opened his eyes his ears twitching as she moaned his name.

He wondered if he should feel guilty for listening in on himself having sex. Dismissing the pointless thought he waited. By now he would be fully erect at that sweet voice of hers. He would run his hand down her back fingers tangling in her loose braid. She would protest. "Ouch, my hairs too long it hurts." He heard himself pull his dagger free and cut her long locks to just above her thighs ignoring the rest.

"Better?" He echoed with himself. She would nod wondering if she should continue what he had started. He, seeing her pause, would drop his dagger. The snow gave a soft noise indicating he had. He smiled slightly just before Nadia gave a small squeak. She was under him now as he unzipped his jacket and tossed it on the group beside her.

He touched erection as he remembered and heard himself flipped them over. He was laying in his jacket down with Nadia on top of him. He vaguely remembered his panicked train of thought at the time. He had never been with a woman and everything he was doing as split second memories of someone else and what they had done during sex. His mind would recall with just enough delay that a guy named Marcus had his woman on top of him, he had gloated about making her moan when he rocked his hips. Nadia cried out as he predicted she would.

He could vividly remember now how she looked above him. She was beat red now falling under his sway. She would lean down now and hungrily kiss him. He would continue rocking his hips grinding his erection against open legs. He resisted the urge to laugh as he mind played mere moments before the actual event. "I-I I'm not a virgin… is that okay." She gasped.

He could almost feel himself go half soft at the idea of trying to take a girl with experience. "A lady with skill like me." He lied. He really wanted to laugh, he was such a cocky asshole. She would gap at him in shock. "You are wearing too much."

"What if he comes back soon?" She whimpered. It hit Cooper that he had forgotten himself in the memory. Of course not that he knew it was himself but he now recalled the older man he had not liked and purposely ignored.

"Then he'll get an eyeful. Take off your clothes." He ordered. Cooper unzipped his pants hoping the open air would kill his erection. Right about now Nadia would be yanking off her shirt and wiggling out of her skirt. He would be trying to look cool and take off his shirt, but leave his pants unzipped. She would hesitate, now he realized it was because she was uncomfortable in her underwear. But his younger self didn't know any better. He would pull her back into a kiss afraid that her hesitation was because he partly undressed.

[Censored Content!]

He watched himself began again thrusting into her with long slow stroke. She was begging for it now her voice drifting to him on the wind. "Like that please don't stop." He shook his head fighting another erection as his younger self bent over her moaning. Finally he was done. He would give them a few more minutes before he would reappear.

"He's a nice guy. Please go talk to him. I don't want to leave you until I know you're going to be safe." Nadia said looking at young Cooper. His face was flushed and his eyes were blood shot. They were standing near the wreckage of Trabia Garden.

"You could just not leave me… or take me with you! Please I've already lost my mom, please don't go too. I like you." He cried over his coat collar. She felt her own tears rise to meet his. She reached out to embrace him.

"I'm sorry Coop I can't stay. I have to help my friends," She said bending the truth, "I don't want to leave you, but I will come back to you. I swear, if takes a year, five years, or twenty years I'll find you again." He clumsily kissed her. She let herself enjoy the feeling a moment more before she pulled away. "Promise me you'll find Irvine, the guy in the cowboy hat. I would trust him with my life and I know he'll protect you." He nodded once turning away in a rush. She was pretty sure it was so that he didn't give himself time to turn back and change his mind.

"Thank you." Cooper whispered behind her. She turned to him her tears still flowing. "For saving me." He smiled. She nodded weakly reaching for her pack. She hoped Ultimecia had the sense to write the return spell.
