A/N: I was considering making this a fluff chapter, but maybe I'll post it later. I know you guys wanna see more action, so here goes! I might write a side story to talk about what Hana does during the time skips between chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Dr Who quotes or the characters (except Hana).

Kikikitsune18: I'm debating it at the moment. I'm not the best at romance, at first there wasn't going to be any... but then somehow things came together and Tatara just works for Hana. He's caring, understanding, and accepting of all the flaws she has. I don't want to give too much away... there will be a little bit of romance between Tatara and her but the story must go on. So their romance isn't what this story revolves around but it will be there. Also Hana's a wanderer so she'll sometimes be with HOMRA and other times will do her own thing. Thanks for the review!

Flower power.u know u lik it: Thanks for the review! I agree, I love K Project, but there's not a lot of fanfic about it, other than romance between an OC and Yata or Mikoto. Not saying those are bad, but I have always loved time traveling/universe hopping fanfics. Thus, I decided to try my hand at one too without the main focus being romance. I'm really glad that you like it, getting reviews like yours motivates me to keep writing more chpts!


Chapter 8: Himmelreich

December 21, 2009

3rd Person POV

Location: Silver King's Blimp

It has been a few months since Hana has been in contact with the Red Clan. After her breakdown in front of Tatara, she had stayed the night in HOMRA, then said her farewells.

Now it's December, which is colder than October. She waited at the location the Silver King refuels his blimp (information courtesy of the Gold King) and was welcomed aboard the Himmelreich.

The Himmelreich, which means, 'Kingdom of Heaven,' is a large blimp with a thick silver hull. Black glass aligns and decorates the captain's deck and a lower observation room. Two large railings stick out toeh sides as landing gear, a thick layer of metal rebar keeps a separate quarter of the ship. To keep Himmelreich in the air, there are two engine propellers protruding from the sides. In the back, there are several more propellers along with a rather large railing.

"It's pleasure to finally meet you, Hana." A man with long silver hair greeted as the pink-haired lady stepped onto the platform. He was wearing a ruffled white undershirt with a trench coat on top.

"I would say the same for you Silver King, no, Addy." Hana smiled sweetly.

He tensed. He hadn't heard that nickname in decades. "Addy?"

"Yeah! For Adolf K. Weismann. You don't expect me to go around calling you the Silver King or Adolf do you? Addy suits you much better."

It was a nickname he hadn't heard in decades. He's had a few visitors on board, sure, but they never took any liberties or became comfortable with him. The last person who had ever called him that was his precious sister.

"What brings you here?" Addy brought out two wine glasses, but Hana respectfully declined as he held one out to her.

Hana leaned forward, then smiled. "I wanna be friends with you."

Addy choked on the wine. "Sorry. What?"


Hana's POV

Honestly, becoming friends with Addy wasn't that hard. He was hesitant and suspicious at first, but I didn't treat him like he was special. I treated him like I would a friend who I had not seen for a few years.

We discussed topics that ranged from different types of food to the newest book series. I even let him know a few things about my world and the way it was different from this one.

After a few hours of friendly talking, our discussion soon became heated.

"Well you may have all the time in the world, but HE doesn't. You both may have been twenty when that incident occurred, but it's been 70 years now. Have you seen him since then? After all this time?" My voice began to rise as I let my emotions get the best of me. The Gold King, after all he's done for the Silver King, and he is still not acknowledged.

"I just need more time. There has to be a way." Addy responded, almost as if it was an automatic defense mechanism. To ask for more time.

"A way for what? To bring your sister back after 70 years? No, you'll never find a way, that's because you never had any hope to begin with. That moment passed a long time ago. You never intended to look for 'hope' or 'answers.' What would your sister have done!"

"YOU KNOW NOTHING! Don't you dare bring my sister into this."

I closed my eyes and released the tension in my shoulders. With a calm voice, I spoke, "But isn't that what this is all about? You lost your sister, but my world is gone. I can never go back, never see my family again. My friends are gone. Your friends are still out there, waiting for you. It's okay to not be okay. But it is NOT okay to run off to a corner of the world, secluding yourself from all human contact for 70 years, wandering aimlessly this entire time. And do you want me to tell you why?"

"…" With their advanced technology, the airship's engine was barely a soft purring noise in the background. This only emphasized the silence that filled the room.

"Because SHE would've wanted you to live. The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends."

"And what about you? I've seen you meddle. I felt your presence when you appeared in this world. I've seen all you've done. Saving that little red princess. Getting close to those HOMRA boys. Altering the Red King's Weissmann levels." Addy leaned back, as if becoming a mere spectator to the conversation.

I stiffened, I thought that that had gone unnoticed. I barely even noticed when my aura would react and absorb some of the impact from the Red King's Weissmann levels. Not enough to take him off his path of destruction, but enough to ease the burden.

"It may be selfish. But at least I was HUMAN. You don't just give up. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what's right, even when everyone else just runs away."

"And for that I admire you. And that's what I prefer, admiring from afar." Addy swirled the wine in his glass.

I slammed my hands down on the coffee table between us to get his attention.

"Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters. It's the person. And you, my dear friend, need to. Get. Your. Shit. Together." I walked over and poked my finger into his chest with each punctuation. Quotes and life lessons from Doctor Who spilling out of my mouth. Man I hope Doctor Who exists in this universe, they need it.

The Silver King seemed taken aback by my forwardness, unused to human contact.

"And as my duty as your first friend in 70 years, you better bet this gets to you. Letting it get to you. You know what that's called? Being alive. Best thing there is." I twirled around with my arms out wide, as if enjoying the vastness of the world to emphasize my words. "Being alive right now is all that counts."

I waved a hand in salute as I jumped off the airship, feet first.

"This is why I don't let people on board. Friends. How troublesome." The Silver King dragged a hand tiredly down his face. His features, although immortal, seemed to age a decade in the span of five minutes.

A/N: Short chapter, I know. It's on purpose because I wanted Hana's words to sink in.
