	He sat there, lost in the Dreamscape, waiting. He stared off
into the distance, looking at the swirling shapes and forms in the
clouds. Frowning, Endymion used his power to change the landscape.
Suddenly, a beautiful blue sky filled with wispy white clouds
appeared, occasionally with a bird soaring through it. A lush green
spread of grass appeared under his feet, trees dotting the foreground
and a small, sparkling waterfall behind him. There was a small hill
nearby covered with wildflowers of various hues. The noise of the wind
ruffling the green leaves of the healthy trees, the sound of the water
falling, and the background noises of the insects and other wildlife
was perfect. An idyllic playground.

	Endymion smiled. Rose had shown him how to alter the
Dreamscape to different scenes. Of course, during their conversation,
Kalkia had given a few...pointers of her own. He blushed at some of
the suggestions. He wasn't only interested in getting into her pants.
Right?

	Sure, desire was there, and they complemented each other in
ways he had never experienced with anyone else. Even the two doctors,
while they were closer to him than anyone else, weren't Serenity. He
felt differently about Serenity.

	In an instant, he could sense Serenity approaching even before
she appeared, right in front of him.

	'How was your day,' he asked, holding out a hand to her so
that she would take a seat next to him.

	She sat next to him and began picking at her clothes. 'That
bad, huh,' he remarked, chuckling slightly.

	She frowned at him. 'Minako made me go through more training
exercises. Since I still refuse to go on a mission, she refuses to
really speak to me.'

	He gently squeezed her hand in an attempt to comfort her. Ever
since he had started this, Kalkia had given him pointers that didn't
include different sex positions. So far, they had seemed to work
rather well. Again he had to remind himself that he wasn't doing all
of this just so he could get in her pants.

	'I mean,' she continued, 'I've told her what she needs to do
in order to convince me, but she refuses to even try. She assumes that
because she's the leader, because she's human, she knows more and
there for is above it. Some of the other girls act the same way. Boys
are so much less confusing.'
 
	He blinked at that and tilted his head in surprise. Slowly,
he slipped an arm around her waist and urged her to lay her head on
his shoulder. 'You think boys are easier to understand?'

	'They're less emotional,' she insisted. 'More logical and
rational.'
 
	Endymion had to laugh at her naivety a little. The men he
worked with were hardly ever rational or used any sort of logic. They
were just as emtional and confusing as Rose and Kalkia at times. 'Then
you haven't gotten to know the right men. I hate being around Zoicite
or especially Kunzite when they're having a bad day. At least with
Kalkia, I know its something I did or said, rather than the fact I
'just don't get it.' Men are just as emotional as women, Eren.'

	She wrinkled her nose at the nickname. She had yet to come up
with something like that for him and she hadn't managed to understand
why she felt warm and blushed whenever he used it. And she couldn't
ask any of her 'friends' what it meant to feel like this because they
definately would not approve of her activies. Ami would have, but Ami
was dead.
 
	'I don't believe you,' she pouted. 'It's easier for me to
understand Taiki's moods and he's both.'
 
	'Both what?' Endymion's brow lowered in confusion.  

	'Male and Female.'
 
	'What?! How...' Alpha Project looked most confused and
startled. It made Serenity giggle. It wasn't often that she got to
stun him into silence.

	She explained and Endymion processed the information. 'Well,
men and women aren't too different emotionally, as children,' replied
Endymion. 'It's just that society, even nowadays, forms them
differently when they become adults. But you're wandering from the
main subject.'

	'And what's that?' She blinked.

	'Your problems with Minako.' Serenity scowled. Endymion poked
her in the side. 'Don't do that,' he said. 'Your face might freeze
like that.'

	She scowled even more. 'That is so cliched and old.'

	Endymion frowned. 'And again, you're avoiding.'

	Serenity sighed. 'I know, I know.'

	'Why don't you talk with her?'

	'Because she won't talk with me,' Serenity pouted.

	He shook his head. 'You need to compromise with her. Not on
the subject itself, but try to give and take. Ask her to explain, or
at least talk with you in a calm manner. You can ask for all you want
with her, but she has the right to say no. Just realize that you two
will have two completely different views on this and it's up to you
both to try to figure out a way to co-exist despite your differences.
Hell, your differences can make you two even better.'

	She was silent as she thought through what he had told her. He
just watched her thoughts echo on her face and not for the first time,
wondered how she managed to survive in the world. He knew that the
Resistance social structure had to be different, but she still showed
her hurt too easily. Either she was better at hiding her emotions when
she wasn't with him, or her so-called friends ignored her pain.

	And that was starting to piss him off.
 
	'So do you and Kunzite talk out your differences?' she asked
after a few minutes of comfortable silence. Serenity smiled at his
look of both surprise and distaste. 'If I recall, you were very upset
at how he's been treating Rose. Have you told him and tried to
rationally talk to him about it? Or do you leave all the talking up to
Kalkia?' She poked him playfully in the side again.

	'That's different,' he grumbled and looked away.
 
	'How?'
 
	'Kunzite's an asshole with a pole up his ass the size of
Alpha Ten.'
 
	'And Minako isn't?' she countered.
 
	'You're avoiding the real issue here.'
 
	'And so are you.' She lightly touched his cheek and turned his
face towards hers. Very slowly, almost nervously, she moved so she was
in his lap and straddling his thighs. He desperately tried to ignore
the physical feelings that went through him when she did things like
this. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and didn't look
away from him. 'You give very good advice, Endy, but you rarely take
it.'

	He put his hands on her hips, and her statements took his
thoughts away from the desire humming through his veins. 'It's easier
for an outsider to see the situation in a new light. You get too
wrapped up in a situation and other things begin to cloud your vision.
I suppose that's why.'

	'So that's why it helps to have someone you can talk to, about
everything and anything.' Serenity curled up in his lap, her back to
his chest, and they looked off into the landscape.

	Moments passed as they sat there, basking in the sun.

	Finally, it was Serenity who said something, or at least did
something about the need going through the both of them. She began to
lightly run her fingers along the outside of his thigh from where she
was sitting. Now that they weren't talking, Endymion could concentrate
on the feel of her body against his and every little touch she made.
With closed eyes, she leaned back against his chest and turned her
head so her mouth was near his neck. The young blonde began to press
light kisses along the skin there, delighting in the shivers that went
through him.

	'Eren," he started, his voice sounding hoarse.
 
	'Hmm?'
 
	'Maybe we shouldn't.' He felt her stiffen and then half turn
to face him. The confusion on her face was adorable.
 
	'Why not? We've made out before.' Her blue eyes suddenly
widened as she realized that most of the time, she was the one that
would slowly move towards the more physical aspect of their
relationship. Of course, he was normally very quick to respond and
take over, but she started it. 'You don't want to?' She looked like
she might start to panic.

	He closed his eyes and pressed light kisses on her captured
palm. 'I want to, I REALLY want to. But I want you to understand that
I love you. Not just lust after you, want you physically, but love
your heart, your beautiful soul, everything about you. Even your
faults. They make you wonderfully...you.' He opened his eyes and
stared into Serenity's slightly lust-glazed blue eyes. 'You try so
hard in everything you do, wanting to do the right thing, with a
compassion for those you love that surpasses almost all logic in you.
You strive so hard to understand the world around you, with no one
helping you or guiding you.'

	Serenity mewled a protest. 'Stop making me sound so wonderful.
Without your help, I would have been lost. You are my anchor in a
scary world of unsurety.' She ran a hand through his silky black
locks. 'You go through life with so much confidence in your self, a
knowledge that you will always try your best and that will have to be
enough. You're so strangely vulnerable, especially when it comes to
the people you love, a weakness no one could fault.'

	She leaned close to kiss his mouth when they were interrupted.
It shouldn't have been possible for anyone to interude, but they did.
 
	'Now, I love mush as much as the next horny person, but I have
to break this up.'

	Serenity wrenched away at the sound of another voice in the
dreamscape. Standing there was the auburn haired doctor and she looked
rather amused. Endymion was glaring at her and actually looked upset.
'I don't stop you from being with Jon!' The blonde giggled at how she
could hear the pout in his voice.
 
	'No one stops me from being with Jon,' Kalkia said with a
grin. 'Kunzite's knocking on your door. He's about to break it down.
Say your goodbyes and boink another day.'
 
	'I hate you," Endymion grumbled. Kalkia just laughed and
disappeared. 'This isn't fair.'
 
	Serenity nodded. 'But it won't be long until Rei or Haruka
wakes me anyway.' She kissed him once more, a deep and hungering kiss,
and then stood. 'Next time, less talk and more kissing,' she teased
with a grin.

***

	Before Endymion could respond, a sharp, albeit discreet rap to
his head brought him to wakefulness. 'Hurry up,' sent Rose. 'He's
pissed and he's keeping me up with that racket.' Her grumpiness was
customary in the morning.

	'You wouldn't be so grumpy if you had some great wake up sex!'

	Endymion and Rose both groaned mentally. One was with envy
while the other was with irritation. One could easily figure out who
was who.

	"Enter," said Endymion, as he lept out of bed. His simple
sleeping garments melted away to off-duty uniform. It was much easier
getting dressed using his powers.

	"Get dressed," Kunzite growled as he walked into the room.
When he saw that Endymion was indeed dressed, Kunzite tossed him a
scowl before continuing. "We're going to train."

	Endymion raised an eyebrow. "We're? You mean, you and me?"

	"Yes, you idiot," Kunzite said as he rolled his eyes.

	"But I usually train with any of the medical staff." Confusion
was clearly etched on Endymion's face.

	The door opened to Endymion's quarters and a sleepy-eyed Rose
entered, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "What the hell is going on
in here?" Sleep made her voice hoarse and irritation made it sharp.

	Kunzite didn't answer right away, obviously waiting for
something. A moment later, Kalkia burst into the room looking somewhat
frazzled. Rose gave her an exasperated look, but the redhead just
grinned. "Quickie," she winked. Endymion blushed and the silver
general tried not to give into the urge to break furniture.

	"Metallia has decided that Alpha Project has progressed to the
point that Dr. Skye has become both superfulous and obsolete. It is
also necessary to determine how you will function without your
physical dependancy on her."
 
	"He's not a baby," Rose said irritably. Kunzite looked at her
briefly, but gave no other indication of acknowledgement.
 
	"While Kalkia will still be based here in Alpha Prime, her
duty station is going to be with Nephlite at the Alpha Ten Capitol,"
he continued. Both Endymion and Rose expressed their shock over such
an order. Granted, Alpha Ten wasn't that great of a distance away, but
it had never occurred to the two that they would be broken up. Kalkia,
on the other hand, didn't look surprised in the least.

	"Is that Hong Kong or Beijing?" she asked idly. Kunzite raised
an eyebrow. It was never a good idea to actually say the old names of
the cities. Metallia didn't care for the rememberance and if she
didn't like it, then it wasn't done.
 
	"Beijing," Rose whispered. "But what about Endymion's
training? Kalkia and Jonathon are the only ones qualified to keep up
with that!"
 
	"Jonathon isn't going with her, for one, and for two, I am
perfectly capable of fighting and training Alpha Project."
 
	"You?" Endymion said increduously. Kalkia snickered under her
breath. "You?!"

	Kunzite bristled. "You seem to forget the fact that I'm a
general of the Inner Circle while Kalkia and Jon are not." Rose shot
a look at both Endymion and Kalkia, to keep them from making a rude
comment.

	'No breaking of furniture this early in the morning. Anger
him, wreck things, and I will start kicking asses,' sent Rose. 'No
matter how much he deserves it.' Out loud, Rose asked, "So then, what
are the plans for me? Where am I being tranferred to?"

	Kunzite shot her a look. "You are being left here to assist
Zoicite until Metallia issues further orders."

	"What the fuck is going on?" Rose glared at Kunzite. "I want
to leave too!"

	Kunzite shot her a disapproving look. "Stop acting like a
child, Rose. This is Alpha, not the school yard. Here we follow orders
and your orders are to stay here and work with Zoicite. Metallia
feels that it would be foolhardy to separate Endymion from both of
you at the same time. You were lucky enough to get to work with your
friend for this long, so stop complaining."

	Before Rose could say anything else, Kalkia quickly cut in.
"Besides, you are always saying that I drive you crazy anyway. I'll
come back on weekends and when I'm not busy. And I always did want to
work with the military."
 
	"You knew this was going to happen," Rose accused. She didn't
care that she was acting childish. Kalkia just nodded and reached for
her friend's hand. Rose almost pulled away, but the redhead was too
fast for her. 'Why didn't you tell me?' she asked silently.

	'Because you would have tried to change my mind, either with
or without my consent. It's time for me to let our little boy grow up
on his own. I'm not going to be that far away,' she chided. 'And
you'll still be around Endymion just as much. Rose...its my chance to
try to heal Nephlite without any interferance from anyone else.'
 
	'I thought you hated him.'
 
	'Do you really hate Kunzite?'

	Silence.

	'...' Kalkia poked Rose in the side.

	'Maybe,' Rose pouted. 'God, I hate being woken up so early.
The banging and yelling...then again...' She gave Kalkia a weak
smile. 'If you and Jon are separated, then no more being woken up by
banging and yelling. So plus for me.' She gave her long time heart
sister a big hug. 'I don't do goodbyes. I'll see you laters. Link to
me when you're settled, ok?'

	Without a glance at Kunzite, she left the room, after giving
Endymion a small good-morning kiss on the cheek, wanting to just curl
in a ball and ponder.

	Kunzite looked after the raven haired doctor for several
minutes before shaking his head. Without another word he left as
well. Kalkia looked at Endymion and gave him a smile. However, she
was not so lucky in her escape. "It's been almost a month. When are
you going to tell us what Esmerade did to you?"

	Kalkia breathed in deeply and then let it out slowly. "She
didn't do anything to me, Endymion. I've told you that already. If
I've changed, it's only been for the better. If you haven't noticed,
I don't get as many death threats anymore. Now, next time you see
Serenity you should--"
 
	"Damnit, Kalkia!"  He pounded his fist into the small coffee
table and it shattered. She didn't even jump or look startled. "I'm
tired of trying to guess! This is serious."

	"It always is." Her blue-green eyes met his and there was no
doubt that she was being serious. "I'll be fine and so will you. I
made you to be perfect at and in everything. Don't ruin my illusions
by fucking it up now." She walked over to him and then to his
surprise, she gave him a soft kiss on the mouth.
 
	He blinked at her for a moment before she started giggling.
She turned to leave but paused at the door. "Oh and about Kunzite."
She gave the dark haired man a very wicked smile. "Kick his ass."

*Omega Cell Headquarters*

	Minako watched as Serenity ran through the warm-up exercises.
Sweat dripped down the girl's pale-golden hair, as her lithe body
moved through the targets with deadly ease and precision. Minako
could sense that the girl was a lot calmer now; something that had
been troubling her was settled down now.

	"You know," breathed Serenity, "you could try asking me what
has changed rather than trying to take a peek at my brain." She
destroyed another target with a simple energy strike. She had already
done physical combat, combat with guns, knives, swords, etc. Now was
the time for energy-based attacks, those favored by the Inner Circle.

	Raising a golden, wheat-colored brow, Minako looked at
Serenity. "So you can sense me now, hm?"

	Another target burst into flame. "The way you were
broadcasting all over the place," puff, "it was easy." She finished
the course and powered down. "Besides, I'm getting so much better at
this mental stuff." As an afterthought, she added to herself, 'All
thanks to Endymion...' Before gooey feelings and weak knees took
over, she quickly returned her attention to her trainer. It would do
her no good to get horny during practice.

	"Very well, next time I'll make sure to take a less direct
approach." Minako cleared the debris with a wave of her hand. "I've
increased the difficulty of the next level by two hundred percent--"
 
	"That was a hint to ask me, Minako."
 
	The tall blonde blinked at the interruption but gave no other
indication that she was surprised by Omega. There were a few moments
of silence before Serenity gave a quiet sigh. "If I looked like a
child, you would have at least tried to talk to me about this by now.
Instead we go through endless simulations and battle tests when you
have no idea if I'm ever going to find that last artifact and make an
attempt at your Omega."

	Minako clenched her jaw. "I was hoping that it really just
was a matter of time before you figured out that I was right and you
were wrong."
 
	"Is that how you teach children?"
 
	"You're not a child, Serenity. You may not be very old, but
you are not a child. No, I watched you do exactly what I would expect
of a daughter if I had one. You've spent the last month talking to
everyone. You've even made copies of their morality in that time as
well. I may not like you very much, but I have been watching you."
She paused and then met the younger woman's eyes. "I know about
Project Alpha."

	It was Serenity's turn to blink and unlike Minako, she
sputtered and her jaw dropped. "I assume since we have not been
invaded or attacked by Alpha, that you haven't given your lover our
location. I am also assuming that you, at least in part, tried to
figure out the whereabouts of the last artifact."

	Serenity looked away but nodded. This wasn't exactly how she
envisioned repairing her relationship with Minako. "He doesn't know
where it is," she said quietly. Omega wondered if Minako could
understand the betrayal that was eating inside her to admit that she
had also been trying to do just that. Taking a deep breath, she said
the hardest sentence to ever pass her lips.
 
	"But I do."

	Serenity looked at Minako and watched her intently in the
silence that followed. Finally, the Cell Captain had to also force
her next words from her throat. "Are you willing to continue with the
mission?"
 
	"Yes." There was no hesitation from her, but she had to
painfully swallow the lump that had formed in her throat.
 
	Minako nodded and sheathed her weapon. "Develop a plan and be
ready to present it at our next briefing."

	Minako left the room. Looking at her hands, Serenity could
practically feel the blood that would be shed on her hands. Guilt was
eating at her. But, the one thing that Minako had not figured out
about Omega was that it could be truly used as a force of good. There
was a way for Serenity to rectify some of the horrendous mistakes of
the past and put the system back into balance.

	She stiffened her posture before leaving the training room to
prepare. The end result would justify her in the end. She had to hold
onto that hope.

*Alpha Headquarters, Alpha One Enclave*

	In the long unused arborteum, Rose sat underneath the lush
beauty of the willow tree. The droopy hanging branches created a nice
sanctum for her. She watched the creek that flowed nearby and fought
the deep depression welling up in her.

	"You want to be alone," Endymion asked, even as he sat down
next to her.

	"What are you doing here?" She didn't turn to look at him.

	"Waiting for Kunzite. Kal has teleported over to Alpha Ten
and all her belongings have been moved to her new quarters there." He
tossed a small stone into the creek, the loud plop sound that
resulted echoing in both their ears. "Of course, she kind of drained
the teleportation system with just her wardrobe."

	A small chuckle was his reward. "You've never had to wade
through all those when she's been searching for the 'perfect outfit'
to wear on a date."

	"I remember having to get her approval for my tuxedo during
the Crimson Flame incident,' he pointed out. 'I was sent back to my
room six times because I didn't have the right colored vest." He
looked down at her and then gave her a slight smile. "I'm going to
miss her too."

	"Its pointless!" Rose suddenly burst out. She scrambled to
her feet and began to pace in front of him. "Why does she have to
leave now? What is there in Beijing that isn't here? There are
millions of other people that could work with Nephlite! Why her?"
 
	Endymion looked at her steadily and tried to give the sense
of a calm he didn't feel. "Maybe she wanted to go. Maybe being around
Esmerade was too much."

	Rose snorted and shook her head. She was sorely tempted to
kick one of the trees in a childish display of anger. "Kalkia would
kill her before allowing her fear to force her to leave me."
 
	Endymion blinked and suddenly it became a lot clearer to him.
The two doctors were closer than sisters, hell, they had a bond
tighter than most twins and even soulmates. Now, they were being
forced apart and Rose cared too much while Kalkia didn't seem to care
at all.

	"She didn't leave," he said out loud. 
 
	"She's on another continent!" The violet eyed woman glared
down at her creation.
 
	"And I'm sure if you mentally kicked her, she'd respond, and
it wouldn't seem like that. What are you afraid of?"
 
	"Nothing!"
 
	Endymion rolled his eyes and stood so he was looking down at
her sternly. It was easier to feel like the adult when she wasn't
towering over him. "You know you can't lie to me. What are you afraid
of?" he asked again.

	Rose looked down at the glassy pool. "Kalkia and I haven't
ever been apart since we were kids. We were both put in the same
class as the generals, who were older than we were. Special training
or something like that. She was the one who forced me to be her
friend. She was the one who helped me to forget that my family was
dead and never coming back. She became my family. We've always lived
next door to each other. Its not just another continent, Endy, it's
another world. And she wanted to go."

	Endymion reached out and wiped away the silent tears that
were streaming down her face. "Kalkia loves you," he responded to the
unsaid pain and worry. "I've seen her drop glorious sex with Jon for
you," he tried to joke. He felt a lot better when that got a smile
out of her. "I don't think she left just so she could get away from
you. She'll be back and you'll see her again."
 
	Rose was silent for several minutes before she sniffed back
her tears and laughed at herself quietly. "When did you get to be so
wise?"
 
	Endymion blushed. "I've been practicing the pep talk on
Serenity."

	"I know." She looked away, sorrow still evident on her face.

	He raised an eyebrow. "You're the only other person who knows
and the only one who isn't giving me hell about it. I appreciate that
more than you know."

	A nod was his only answer. "Are you still sulking," he asked,
feeling something was off in her body language, but for once, getting
absolutely nothing from their link. This was something new.

	She burrowed herself into his arms and he automatically held
her. "I never want to see you hurt," she replied while squeezing the
air out of him. She had been getting stronger so he had to compensate
a little more than before.

	"I won't ever be hurt," he said soothingly but clouded by
confusion. "I have you and Kalkia by my side."

	Hot tears seeped into his clothing. She was crying, but
silently, and still he had no inkling of what she was feeling. 'Why
are you shielding from me?'

	'...'

	'We've never hidden anything from each other before.'

	'This is end game, Endymion. Forgive me.' With a blinding
rush of power, she worked as quickly as possible. His trust made it
easy for her to make him forget his suspicions and still stay
undetected by those that mattered. With her powers, she made it so
they were just sitting here, him comforting her since Kalkia was
leaving, and erased any sense in him that she was hiding something
from him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
