Angela was happier then she had ever been in her entire life, the wind blowing through her long hair as she stood on the deck of the ship, the rich deep blue of the ocean stood beneath her as the ship glided just above the surface. There came a soft thumping behind her and she was smiling even before the large fur covered arms wrapped about her shoulders. Leaning back into Farkas's chest she closed her eyes as she relaxed in the comforting embrace that was who he was, the only person in many years who had the ability to calm her fiery temper when all else would run. Sighing in pure contentment she allowed her body to practically go limp against his strong form, knowing that he would always be there to hold and support her in body as well as in soul. The salty air mixed with the scent that was distinctively Farkas made her smile even more, snuggle closer to the person she had come to love and value more then anyone else in this world. The one person who had made her change her ways completely, making her life happier and so full of love that she was still convinced this was some kind of wonderful dream which she dreaded waking up from one day. Standing her on this boat with him off to some tropical island made her realize that they were meant to be together and there was no power in the world that would or could keep them away from one another. "This is just so perfect...." she says in a voice that was barely above a whisper. In the back of her mind though she knew times were changing and there may come a time when simple moments like this are few and far between, so she resolved herself to enjoy every moment with him to its fullest. Smirking she turned in his arms wrapping her arms about his waist as she looked up into his golden eyes, "So my love would you like to help me try that bathing suit on before we get to the island?" she winked at him as she ducked out of his arms and made her way slowly to the stairs that would led down to the sleeping quarters. Briefly she made a mental note to call and check on Ben and Kai, to see how everyone was doing. Looking over her shoulder at him for one more moment before she disappeared down the stairs a smile still on her face as she thought again just how happy she truly was with her life.
Ben rolled over and sat up as he realized he must have dozed off for a bit, rubbing his eyes he scratched his head then stretched while he yawned. Getting slowly to his feet he stretched even more as he tried to figure out how much time had passed since he had been placed in here. All he knew were two things, one he was very very thirsty, the other was that he no longer felt the over whelming urge to explode anymore. "Can someone bring me a glass of water? And perhaps run a test on my blood? I have a fiance and two kids waiting for me." he laughed a bit as he flexed his hands a bit feeling the power that laid just beneath the surface, it made him feel good really good. He had never had any power, he was always feeling afraid and powerless, now he knew he had power and it felt good to him. The door opened and a human nurse came in wearing a mask and gloves carrying a glass of water in one hand and a scanner in the other. Ben took the water and drank it down hurriedly, while the nurse scanned him. At about the time he was done with the water the nurse pulled down her mask and smiled at him, "Congratulations. You are one of the few humans to so quickly gain control and stabilize their DNA. Would you like to see your family now?" she gestures toward the opened door. A few moments later Ben stood at the door to Kai's room, "Good to see you up and about again." he says to her gently before he quickly closes the gap between them and takes her into his arms. Holding her close he can feel tears threatening to spill forth as he finally relaxed after being away from her which felt like an eternity, but was only about a day. Pulling back from her he looked deep into her eyes as he reached up and stroked her cheek, then he kissed her deeply with all the love he had for her in his heart. When the kiss finally ended he smiled, "I love you." he said to her in a whisper as he leaned forward to touch his forehead to hers relishing the moment a bit longer before he leaned back with a grin, "How about Jack and Jill for the babies?"
Ulric moaned as he tried to figure out what happened, his body hurt all over and he was not sure where he was at. "CODY!!!" he shouted as he suddenly remembered what had happened to him, "Its ok Subject 9542, you're safe now. We have you back now and will be repairing you so that you work as good as new." Hearing his old designation made him try to sit up, but found himself held fast and securely to the table. "THATS NOT MY NAME!!!" he roared at the top of his lungs as he struggled harder, "Yes it is 9542. Relax now you are in good hands." Those voices again.....why could he not see them?? Panic began to grip him as he struggled harder, "I need to warn my friend he is in danger...." he said in a horse voice. "Your friend is here in the hospital being taken care of, so no need to worry about him. Besides your physical damage there is extensive mental damage as well, which would explain why you ran from us about a year ago. You have us worried sick when you went rouge and then when you deactivated your homing beacon we thought the absolute worst. Not worry though we will fix you up in no time and everything will be just fine." their voice had always been so damn calm, it still pissed him off today only now he was able to voice his anger and rage. "I'M NOT BROKEN!!' he bellowed as he began to break free from his restraints, "Time to sleep 9542." And just like that he felt himself go limp as his main system was shutdown, his organic mind screaming into the blackness but getting no response......
