Hel on Two Legs

[Dominus]

"I wouldn't worry about what she knows. Easy enough to change things, if she knows what the weaknesses are... then you should know them as well and can adapt." Dominus replied and cocked his head. "I thought the Vindicator had no real weaknesses or was that typical Captain bluster?" he leaned against a console. "As for this base, we're in connection with four other realities, we can shift at will if she even attempts. That's if she can get through our new defenses. Hell, they'd turn on me if I didn't give the proper access code, of course only I have the master key to everything and it's nothing anyone can use but me." he gave her a look. "I trust no one, not even you. Not even other versions of myself. And they don't trust me either. That's the problem, trust your subordinates only as much as you need to, everyone will betray you at some point. It's the nature of things."

[Bellatrix]

"Well, Kat is a dead woman," Belladrix said. "It's just a matter of time. I have a dozen of my acolytes searching for her, and I may contact the Ajem Lady in this reality and use hers as well."

[Dominus]

"I can have my agents look for other versions of her in the multiverse, innocent or not versions... she can watch herself die multiple times before we end her." Dominus said as he touched Bellatrix's face. "I wouldn't bother with Underwood's Ajem, take a team of Elite guards. Send them out to hunt her to the ends of the known universe."

[Bellatrix]

"Very well. She must die, and the sooner the better."

[Dominus]

"Should find yourself a new second in command." Dominus said and stroked his chin. "In the meantime... what else would you like... I'm finding myself in a... generous mood today. I actually got good news before you came in, so I really would like to ride that high just a bit longer before I realize just how much shit we're in for."

[Bellatrix]

"No, I am fine. I just want Donovan's head. That's my one weakness," she said with a shrug. "I take betrayal personally, and at times it clouds my judgment. In the meantime," she ran a sultry finger down his chest. "There is the matter of your heir, or are you going to leave that up to the Narlin bitch? A pitty the Emperor took the easy way out. I hadn't even started to break him, and I know you weren't satisfied."

[Dominus]

"An heir is more than simply blood. It's personality, it's power. " Dominus gave her a look and grinned. "You think you could provide me with that kind of heir? I must say I have been jealous of my counterpart and his Angelica. She's intelligent, influential and tactical. Truly his heir apparent, she'd take his spot and no one would question it. Mine... none of my offspring with Julie Lei survived, even Jackson wasn't with her and he was the only one that actually lasted. Weak as he was." he looked into her eyes. "I have always wondered what we'd produce... you don't even have to carry the child, but have you felt something with that Trinity girl? While the Artist was doing his work, I could sense her mother for some reason. As if what we were doing to her, was affecting her in some way. Perhaps that is what we need a strong iljuna connection to the child, one that is truly of us, one that won't betray us."

[Bellatrix]

"It's worth a try," she said with a smirk. "A true apprentice in every sense of the word, and we could use your time dilation tech, and I won't have to find someone to replace Donovan."

[Dominus]

"That would be helpful... my power with your's... " Dominus wrapped his arm around her waist. "So... are you fertile or do you need a shot of something from sickbay to assist?" he whispered. "Perhaps we should keep Donovan's body alive, after all... you don't need a meat brain to keep a body running for incubation..." he chuckled.

[Bellatrix]

She slapped him, "Of course I'm fertile. I'm not some shriveled up fossil. Maybe it's you that's shooting blanks. All the women you've been with, and I don't see any Jon Snows running around."
