Run Like Hell

[Abbygale Porter]

"Formal in what way?" Abby asked. She was sure she already knew the answer, but she had learned log ago to never assume.

[Victoria Underwood]

"Well, we've only been living together for how long now..." Victoria looked at Abbygale and smiled. "Our political careers are already going to be screwed up after this and honestly it's not as if I really want to be with anyone else. And you've been at my side this whole time. I'd even be willing to take your last name. As long as I we both let the Underwood name die. So... be my wife and partner officially? And not to sound like Ashley, but if this ends up being the end, at least you're entitled to whatever I have. And I am positive that Ashley would protect you if I am unable to. Not that I am planning on going quietly. Not when I'm passionate about something or someone..."

Cece chuckled and smirked at the 'quiet' line. "Well if you want someone to marry you... I AM still able to marry people. Honestly until I saw all this up close, I was entirely planning on trying to get you out of this Abby, but... this is real for the two of you. So... I'm happy for you both. One condition... Victoria... no killing Jase'dasis. Abbygale, revert that law or at least amend it so Jase can operate, not that they aren't and haven't been operating despite your measures." she put her hands on her hips. "You want the Alliance's help, I'm pretty sure that's going to be a condition. This us vs. them stuff is done. Once Dominus and Bellatrix are taken out, if you two want to go and do whatever... I can't stop you, but at least try to make an attempt to not continue this blood feud?"

"No guarantees but I think that's going to have to be a given... and you know how much I enjoyed hunting Jase'dasis." Victoria nodded her head. "Look at me... agreeing to work with the Jase'dasis. I believe Hell has finally frozen over."

"Oh i'm sure you and Abby will get enough heat going to thaw it in no time I'm sure." Cece said with a smile. "Alright so... we get to Capitol City and while you plead your case with my grandfather and Sandoval, Ashley and I will try to get Kat to assist or at least give us Intel. I'm pretty sure she'll keep my presence secret and away from Trinity and my Aunt... last thing we need is for either of them to get involved, they're both pregnant and I already know that their future kids are going to be important."

"What about Abbygale and I?" Victoria inquired.

"Oh I know some of what may happen... future is always in flux. In some futures you two are recluses in some you're both very much active. In some I have nothing. So we'll see. I suppose your future is determined by how you all act going forward. If you're a part of it or... if you aren't." Cece said and entered in some coordinates on the helm.

"Still so damn cryptic..." Victoria rolled her eyes.

[Abbygale Porter]

Abby smiled and without hesitation, "Yes. Yes, I will marry you."

[Cece Ryder]

"Congratulations." Cece said as she looked over at them with a smile. "So let's make sure you actually survive to have a honeymoon." she hummed as she looked at the sensors. "Okay so you ladies have a choice... I think we should ditch this ship on New Arizona and pick up another. Just in case Dominus is tracking us. Or... we hit the Boneyard where we keep the half dead ships that we have no idea what to do with and borrow something from there. Either way, I don't think its a good idea to take this bird with us."

[Abbygale Porter]

"It's hard to say how many of Dominus' people attacked us. It could have been more than the two we came in contact with," Ashley said. "They could have placed a tracker on this ship."

"Two?" Abby said with a raised eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"I killed an acolyte before we left," Ashley said with a dismissive tone.

Abby glanced Victoria with an odd expression on her face.

Ashley shrugged, "I think New Arizona. It's out of the way, and we can garner some witnesses where we can 'accidentally' let it slip we are going somewhere that we are not."

Abby nodded, "I agree. Even if it delays the evil four even a day it will give us a that much of a head start."

[Cece Ryder]

Cece smiled, they actually agreed on something. "If anything we set the automatic on this ship and send it off somewhere, possibly even do the same with another shuttle that it looks like say, Ashley takes. While we all use another ship that's less noticeable and more discreet to get to our final destination." she made a few calculations on a PADD. "Not the first time I've had to do this, helps that I've had some practice too. Now THIS is the only way this is going to work, I don't care how many Jase'dasis you come up with, you'll be ALL play nice. I'm sure the Ajem and Scion goons at their disposal will be more than thrilled to claim any one of us as a confirmed kill. we're in survival mode and enemies of our enemies are our friends."

"Yes ma'am Fleet Captain Ma'am." Victoria said with a salute. "Now i can see it."

"And to think I wanted to get back to a bridge... now I am almost looking forward to getting back to my mega stressful day job... because that's only a third less stressful than this." Cece said with a smile and sat behind the helm. "Next stop, New Arizona."

[Abbygale Porter]

"We tend to do that," Abby said.

[Kat Donovan]

- Rafter T Ranch

The kids were playing in the grass, Lilith throwing handfuls of grass onto her brother's head, and Simon squealing in delight.

Kat grinned at the two kids who by now where practically her own. She hesitated. She sensed their presence rather than seeing or hearing them. He hand fell to the butt of her phaser. "Whoever you are show yourself."

Ashley stepped out of the shadows of the forest, with her hands extended as a gesture of peace.

"Who the bloody hell are you," Kat demanded.

"I am Ashley," she she replied.

"A damned sasanach judging by her accent."

"I am. I am also known as Princess Ashley or Baroness Walker of Gestingthorpe."

Kat shrugged unimpressed, "An who is ye friend ya wee bissom."

[Cece Ryder]

"I know, it's the hair." Cece said as she put her hands on her hips. "Cece Ryder, Trinity's cousin, Presidential Chief of Staff. Sorta dead but not really." she looked at Ashley. "Any place we can talk in private. Without the lady and gent of the house knowing we're here? I can make Ethan and Trini forget, but well, I don't like doing that to pregnant women or Generals. They think they're losing their minds already."

[Kat Donovan]

"Oh aye." Kat bent down and picked up the two Narlin children. With one on each hip she lead them inside the bunkhouse. Checking the diapers she set them inside a playpen and started to prepare a pair of bottles.

"An what brings a sasanach princess an a ghost ta' me home?" Kat asked as she handed the bottles to the children. "Ye got the stink o' the Ajem'dasis about you lass."
