Around Every Corner

[Tali’Zorha]

"Good. Hey I'm having fun with this because I CAN." Tali said as she put her arm across Selene's back. "I did learn something from all the realities I've lived in, but I really did learn a lot from you. Kept me safe and alive. Now it'll keep my granddaughter safe-ish. I only really met her briefly before everything happened, so when she finally got a message through I had to make sure I didn't ignore it." she looked around and found the access to the living space. "Phew... this place smells like no one's opened it up for years." she coughed and reached into her pocket and dropped a few small silver balls on the floor. "Did Clint ever show you these?" instantly three holographic figures appeared, one male and two female. "They call them MIKI balls. Self contained holographic hard light agents. They used them on the Viper. I swiped a few."

"We let you swipe us." one of the Miki's said. "It's alright, we're all independent systems. Looks like we're the cleaning crew?"

"Of course we are... solids." the male rolled his eyes.

"Safe house... not bad Agent. Give us a day or so and it'll be livable." another Miki said and snapped her fingers as a tool kit was beamed into the room. "We've got this. Selene? I thought you were dead?"

"It's... the Selene from another reality." Tali said and cocked her head at the door. "We'll leave you to get this place set up. Thank you."

"Wow a solid that actually thanks us... " the male teased and bowed. "When we are done, we will integrate into the safe house's security system and send a coded message to you."

"Another thing I'll have to get use to." Selene said with a raised as the holograms disappeared into the living area and closed the door. "You said Clint's ship is full of those?"

[Tali’Zorha]

"Almost all Alliance ships are, they decided early on to develop holographic crew. Less collateral damage." Tali said as she looked around the place. "Owner's going to meet us outside." she undid a couple of buttons on her blouse and shifted her bra a bit to give her more cleavage. "Money and breasts and they don't even look at your face. Unless the owner's a woman."

[Liara]

"I'll hang back and let you handle it just incase they happen to be a fan of the President and his wife." Selene said with a smirk. "And you were paying attention."

[Tali’Zorha]

"Although I was always seductive, but I wanted to be remembered. You taught me to be a bit more subtle." Tali said with a laugh and walked around the corner of the building where another car just pulled up.

"You're early." he said with a smile.

"You're late actually." Tali glanced at her watch. "Place will do just fine, here's your payment." she handed him the envelope and flipped her hair. "Pleasure doing business with you."

"Yeah... too bad we can't make a bit more pleasure out of this business." He said with a smirk, his eyes not leaving her chest. Just as she planned it.

Tali cocked her head slightly. "I am sure your wife will not appreciate that. Or you second wife. Or your mistress. You're getting way more than this place is worth. But you caught me in a generous mood."

"Fair enough." He waved the envelope and glanced inside. "Enjoy the place... I am off to New Georgia to retire. All three wives are going with me. Sure I can't make you a fourth?"

"I'm sure." Tali said, biting back the urge to just vaporize him. Instead mentally putting a memory his head that will haunt him for a while. "Bye bye." she waved and glanced at Selene. She laughed as she saw him shudder and get into his car and streak off.

Popping the trunk she grabbed a briefcase and a box. "Place is all our's and he won't bother us. I gave him a memory of him catching me taking a pee against the side of the building. Here... make sure the boots fit, keep the extra suit and gear in here. Other than my legs being just slightly longer than your's, we're pretty much the same size for this stuff. These tactical bodysuits stretch so what fits me should fit you and vice versa." she held up the boots. "Although I thought they were a little tight. I'm not used to non desert planets. Used to being more dehydrated."

[Liara]

Selene took the boots and slipped off a shoe. She slipped a foot into one boot and wiggles her toes around.

“Boot seems fine.” Selene said as she pulled it back off and slipped her shoe back on. “So what’s your plan?”

[Tali’Zorha]

"Well since we got this taken care of in record time... we get you checked out by Tess, grab some lunch and then set up another safe house and maybe help me find one of the Ajem'dasis that are reporting to Dominus... and make him my bitch. Then you can spend the rest of the night with Clint... or we get drinks and challenge a bunch of Navy kids and prove our liver superiority."

[Liara]

“Don’t you have a date with Joe tonight?” Selene inquired as she opened the car door.

[Tali’Zorha]

Tali smiled and nodded her head. "That's right... I suppose I shouldn't expose him to the 'wild woman of Xenex' just yet. So... is Clint spending the night again or are you going to let him go back to his own place? Because I have a feeling I'm going to be spending the night with Joe AND I already told Bella I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon's briefing. I love that they're not morning people. They don't even get into the office until at least ten unless there's something that really needs their attention."

[Liara]

“I think he wants to come back.” Selene said not bothering to hide her smile at the prospect. “I wouldn’t mind if he did.”
