*Everyone tried to forget about it. But then it bit them in the butt…"

"Duke! What in Sam Hill is a limo doing in front of the base." General (Hawk) Abernathy asked rather loudly.

"Umm, how would I know, General?" Duke asked, looking out the window.

"Well, if you don't know then find out. Now!" Abernathy ordered.

Duke grabbed Lady Jaye and Beachhead and ran out to meet the strange limo-going trespassers. "Halt! Who goes there?" Beachhead hollered at the intruders.

"I am Harold, the Prince Nathaniel's personal Butler." An older man called out from where he got out of the limo.

"The Prince Na- uh oh." Duke said.

"We have gotten word that he is within this facility, and we would like to retrieve him." The older man stated.

~Meanwhile in the PITT~

"What are they talking about, a prince on base?" Stormshadow asked.

"They mean S-s-snake-eyes." Scarlet stuttered.

Snake-eyes looked at her shocked and signed, 'What are you talking about?'

"Snake-eyes, Duke, he" She started to sob knowing what's coming, "He had a DNA test done on you while you were out. I-I didn't know until it was too late." She was steadily crying now.

Snake-eyes wrapped an arm around her and tried to calm her down. 'Easy, it's alright. It'll be fine.' He signed.

"Did you just say that Duke did an unsanctioned DNA test on one of our key members?!" Hawk hissed out. This was just not his day.

Scarlet just nodded, and continued to sniff into Snake's shirt. He rubbed soothing circles into her back while Storm hummed an old Japanese hymn to sooth her. It worked and she was soon calm. "We need to either make sure they don't find you, or make sure you're ready to greet them." Stormshadow stated calmly.

~Outside~

"Well, I'm sure we can go see if, um Nathaniel is here." Lady Jaye said, as diplomatically as always.

"Thankyou." Harold said as he followed Jaye inside.

"Scarlet do you know if, oh my goodness, what happened!" Jay asked, startled, as she walked into a room holding a sobbing Scarlet, a confused Snake-eyes, a humming Stormshadow, and an irate General. Scarlet looked up at her and managed a weak smile through a sniff.

"I'm afraid I'm using their Prince as a tissue." She said jokingly.

"Ah, so you've decided to play dress up have you Nathaniel?" Harold said with a twinkle in his eyes. ^This is definitely Nathan, he stands just like his father.^ Harold thought happily.

Snake-eyes stiffened at the voice. *"I'll Be the best prince ever!"

"Atta boy! Now shall we get ready? The sooner you g, the sooner you get back."*

"Snake-eyes?" Scarlet asked. He shook his head to clear it, extracted himself from her arms, and walked slowly over to Harold.

^He walks like his mother, light footed and dignified.^ Harold thought lovingly, Nathan had always been like a son to him.

Snake-eyes stopped in front of Harold. He rose an impressive 6'6", taller than his father by six inches. Harold himself was 5'10".
