-The Citadel-

Lower Wards

"You CRASHED IT?" Chloe exclaimed, groaning overdramtically "That ship was beeeeeeautiful! A real work of art you know! You don't come across one everyday- and I would know I used to work on them in the military! You'd think a guy would give more consideration his ship, but alas- blown up. Probably in a bajillion pieces in the sun by now."

One more groan and Chloe turned her back to the man "Your new one better be damn impressive, I promised these guys a ship to get us to the tower.

-Flashback-

Chloe's eyes lit up at the idea of seeing her grandparents again, as it had been quite some time. She was never really allowed to spend much time with her dad or any of this side of the family, so she always felt like she was missing out on something really cool.

The girl then watched as Ethan pulled out his phone. She gave a little frown but stayed put on the bed, leaning against the man.

After a few seconds of ringing a voice was heard on the other side. It belonged to a young woman with a thick accent. Ava, Chloe's mother, was...Interesting.

"What the hell do you want Ethan? I'm busy."

Now you know where Chloe got her attitude from.

[Miriam Industries Building – 3 Years Ago]

The Doctor fell silent as memories came rushing back to his mind. Friends lost, planets lost, a billion regrets. The temptation to change things was always there. The temptation to save the innocent and punish the guilty... but he'd learned long ago the price of changing time.

“It's impossible to know what changes can bring. The noblest of intentions can often lead to the worst outcomes... believe me.”

He shook his head. Then finally gave a small smirk at C's last comment. “Rule the universe? That just sounds like a headache. No, I'm fine with my little box.”


[Citadel: Coffee Shop]

Connor was trying his best to pack, frowning as he realized most of his belongings were back at his dorm on base. He didn't think he'd get a chance to get them, since going back to the base seemed like a possibly bad idea.

Then Sarai spoke and he frowned, turning to her. “It's... not like that.”

Connor bit his lip, knowing he shouldn't say much, but he walked over and sat next to Sarai. “... Moira used to work for a dangerous criminal. After our parents disappeared, she did it so she could make enough money to send me to school... she tried to hide it, but I found out eventually. I think your dad reminds her of the kind of people she worked for...”

[Citadel: Melanie's Apartment]

Rica could only beam as Kanna kissed him. His first instinct was to snake his arms around her – but then he remembered Jason was here, and even Kanna would probably put the breaks on things in front of him.

(I hope. I sincerely hope.)

Rica opened his mouth to speak, but then the device in his jacket buzzed. He grabbed it and answered the call – and then smirked. “Well! Good news... my associates found her.”

[Citadel: Lower Wards]

Musashi blinked as Edda suddenly arrived, and he nodded. He'd only met him a few times in passing, but if Chloe trusted him... well, actually that didn't necessarily mean he wasn't dangerous, but Musashi would still trust him.

“We do... we need to get to Lothal. A backwater planet in Imperial Space, but apparently it's well-guarded.” Musashi explained. “Probably going to be dangerous.”

[Citadel: Dock Shop]

“Oi...” Kagura could only groaned slightly as she watched Solei place several gold coins on the counter.

The shopkeep - a Twi'lek turned his lip up and raise an eyebrow.

“What... are those?” His voice was dripping with arrogance as he examined Solei. Kagura quickly rushed over next to her – and she watched the Twi'lek's eyes narrow even further at her sight. He examined her armor for a moment and then gave her a look of contempt.

Kagura ignored it, as she grabbed a small plastic card from her belt and handed it over. Then she turned towards Solei. “I didn't know there were any planets in the Alliance that still used actual coin money... you're not from around here, huh? Don't worry, I'll spot you on this. Edda owes me anyway.”

[Space: Damion's Ship]

“The Alliance isn't after us, if that's what you're worried about.” Haruka stated to Damion, shrugging her shoulders. “I mean... I've pulled a few jobs in Alliance space, but I've never been caught. No bounties or anything... in the Alliance, anyway. So we should be fine.”

She hoped.

[Omega: Docks]

Vegeta could only roll his eyes and sigh. He was used to Nappa's bottomless appetite. Though the flight had been long and lonely, giving him plenty of time to dwell on his problems... the Prince gave a groan, squeezing his fist and then finally relented.

“Fine. Let's find some place to eat... but then we're going after that scientist!” Vegeta insisted.

C let out a low chuckle, sounding somewhat contemplative and morose.

"And even saying that, you're still here. Traveling and changing things. You're one hell of a hypocrite, you know that, right Doc?"

He leaned away from the railing he was sitting on and stretched, the blind closing behind him. That part of his life, the part down there in the server room, it was over now. It was time to move on, to see where the road would take him next, and... Well, perhaps see what this Doctor would do next as well.

"Still, that's one hell of a piece of proof. Fine. Get me out of here and I'll tell you... A few other things."

He started to walk back up the stairs, slouching slightly and smirking a small, satisfied smirk. However, he paused right next to The Doctor, and asked under his breath.

"And Jenny? Do you trust her?"

-Damion's Ship-

“We'll be fine,” Lily said, a little more confidently. “Once we get to the Citadel, I'll find my... contact.”

By which she meant her twin brother.

-The Citadel-

Lower Wards

“I crashed it on purpose though,” Edda said, as if that was better, but nodded towards her and Musashi.

“I do! And a very good crew!” Edda said. Well, three people, at least. Himself, Paul, and newly hired Kagura at least. Mostly a crew.

“It's a top of the line experimental ship I stole from the Empire. It's got some impressive cloaking tech, should be able to get us to any planet,” Edda said, “Lothal... Lothal... I remember that planet, my dad was there once, before the Empire, said he talked about retiring there when he got older...”

Then The Empire happened...

“But I should be able to get you all there. Is it just you five?” Edda asked.

Dock Shop

Paul looked at the coins Solei produced, looking more interested in them then anything in the shop.

“-May I see one of those?-” Paul typed out to Solei.

-Omega-

Docks

“Ha! Of course Vegeta, maybe we'll get lucky and find the girl where we eat!” Nappa said, heading forward now.

Soon the two would pass by Afterlife, and they would hear the sounds of fighting...

“Kaio-Ken!”

“Kaio-what?” Nappa asked as a krogan was thrown through the doors, nearly being hit as the alien skidded to a stop. “Ohhhh, looks like something fun is happening there!”

-Flashback-

“Busy? I was wondering, do you know where Chloe is?” Ethan asked, forcing himself to keep calm. He and Ava had a bit of a whirlwind romance... Back in college some Saiyan woman had shown up, looking into rumors of some 'strong guy.'

Which had been him. He beat her in a fight, and one thing lead to another, but she vanished the day afterwards, leaving Ethan very confused.

Not long after that, Ava appeared, apparently having a thing for strong guys...

He had made a few decisions in his college days he wasn't happy about, but he was grateful for Chloe.

“I know.”

The Doctor's voice was quiet. He'd broken the rules more times than he could count, and he was still expecting trouble from it one day... but he didn't deny it.

He started back towards the TARDIS, until C caught up with him and asked the quiet question. The Doctor nodded immediately.

“More than anyone else alive.” The Doctor had no doubts that his 'daughter' was one of the few people he could trust implicitly.

[Damion's Ship]

“Oh goodie.” Haruka seemed overjoyed by the prospect, rolling her eyes and leaning further back in her chair. Still, she was away from Omega and had the chance for an adventure... that was something.

Her eyes flickered towards Sayuri. They still had an unusual mystery...

[Citadel: Lower Wards]

“Top of the line experimental Imperial ship? Geez, Edda... seems like that could bring down some serious Imperial heat if they DO detect us.” Musashi sighed – then he remembered they were traveling with a Jedi, and that could possibly bring down even more heat.

“Not just us. A couple more.” Musashi said.

[Omega: Afterlife]

“What the hell?” Vegeta raised an eyebrow, watching as the Krogan came flying through the doors. He suddenly smirked. Not many could easily throw around a Krogan – there was someone strong here. Someone strong enough that it might be worth his attention...

“Let's check it out, Nappa.” Vegeta agreed, as he pressed a button on his scouter and scanned the building. “... Maybe this trip won't be a complete waste of time after all...”

“Great... that's a big hub too, and a lot less guarded then here... Trying to pick up the trail there would be hard...”

“It would be hard,” Kay replied to Jimi, “But it's one step closer! We should definitely let Hammah know.”


[Omega]
-Mordin's Clinic-

“Are you two still planning on working for Empire?”

The draiken siblings looked at each other, silent. They didn't want to lie, but at the same time freely giving away information like that was dangerous. Mordin seemed trustworthy enough, but one could never be 100% certain.

Even if he was trustworthy, him even holding that information could put him in danger.

“Why do you ask?” Windsong responded.

“We do... we need to get to Lothal. A backwater planet in Imperial Space, but apparently it's well-guarded.” Musashi explained. “Probably going to be dangerous.”

"Nothing that you aren't used to though!" Chloe joked, tapping her finger to her chin. She looked from Edda to Musashi and then back again "In fact doing stupid dangerous stuff for the sake of adventure is kinda both of your specialties! You really could bond over it. And then Shiori and I could bond over embarasing stories over Musashi that I surely won't use for blackmail in the coming years...."

Meet Chloe, the most easily distracted woman ever.

[Citadel: Melanie's Apartment]

Both Kanna and Jason blinked as Rica announced that Melane had been found. They were kind of caught off guard.

"That was-" Kanna started

"Fast" Jason finished "I'm almost afraid to ask but where is she?"

[Citadel: Coffee Shop]


"I think your dad reminds her of the kind of people she worked for...”

Sarai listened to Connor's explanation, her eyes traveling to the floor. "That makes sense, and I really can't blame her for not trusting us...Heck my dad has probably done business for the people your sister worked for. He's not a good person and there's really no hiding it....Especially now."

The girl pressed some of her long hair back, looking back to him. "But I want to prove to her, And you, that i'm not my dad."

-Flashback-

"Chloe- what do you mean- dammit she's with you isn't she?" Ava said with a groan, the realization hitting her that OF COURSE the girl would go looking for her father when she didn't get her way. The woman groaned again and there was some shuffling heard through the reciever. "How the hell did she even find you? You know what, nevermind it doesn't matter- where are you? I'll send my husband to come get her"

From her spot Chloe clenched Ethan's shirt, not particularly keen on that idea.

Lower Wards

“I wouldn't take any ship I wasn't willing to go in myself. It's got a top of the line A.I. that will help out as well,” Edda said, then glanced towards Chloe. “Does he now? Sounds like fun! But two more people? Can do.”

Hammah pulled out his communicator to call Jimi and Kay, pausing when Jimi called him first.

“Hey Jimi, I was just about to call,” Hammah said, “We have a lead.”

“So do we,” Jimi said. “I'll explain later. I'll have Eddie ping your location and meet up with you, I wanna tell you in person.”

“Okay,” Hammah said, then looked up towards the others. “Can your ship have other ships docked in it?”

“As long as it's not too big, yah,” Edda nodded. “It has a couple drop ships and such too.”

Halls

Jimi hung up now, turning to Kay after having called Hammah.

“Seems Hammah has some news too, hopefully better then what we have,” Jimi said, “Eddie, lead the way.”

Eddie nodded, bobbing in the air and heading down a passage way for them to follow.

-Damion's Ship-

“We might be able to get a ship too,” Lily said to Haruka. “It's a good ship...”

Sayuri smiled and waved slightly towards Haruka when she noticed her glance her way.

-Omega-

Afterlife

“Don't hog all the fun, Vegeta!” Nappa said, grinning as he strode in, presumably followed by Vegeta.

Inside there was music still playing, Aria was glowing with some blue energy around her hands, and a man in an orange and blue outfit was punching a guy in power armor who had charged him.

Ducked not too far from the entrance was a blue haired young woman who looked more angry then anything else.

“Darn it Goku, you didn't have to throw that krogan at me!” Bulma yelled.

“Sorry!” Goku said, “I just kinda got caught up in the moment! Do I gotta fight this blue lady now?”

Mordin's Clinic

Mordin took a deep breath, staring at the two.

“Because my clinic is a safe spot. If you try something here, I will be forced to stop you,” Mordin said.

-Flashback-

Ethan frowned, feeling very tempted to tell Ava that if Adriel came and touched his daughter he would remove the man's gallbladder and feed it to him. And being a biologist with a gear towards humans, he would know exactly where and what a gallbladder was.

But he decided he would be more civil.

“I think it might be a better idea if Chloe came and lived with me for a while,” Ethan said. “I can change my classes so I'm around when she's off school, and my parents live near me, they can be around to help as well, and they would love to see their granddaughter again.”

He paused for a moment, glancing towards Chloe. “Plus I can teach her how to control her strength. I don't think your husband knows self control.”

Ethan couldn't resist a little barb.

“Awesome! With how many leads we're getting, we'll find your dad in no time,” Kay said.

She walked alongside Jimi with enthusiasm in her step.


[Omega]
-Mordin's Clinic-

Lavo cringed at Mordin's tone. The salarian doctor made his position very clear. Still, Lavo didn't want to give out that they had left the Empire just moments ago to a complete stranger.

“We, uh,” the older draiken cleared his throat, “Ah, we're...not here to cause trouble.”

Windsong nodded in agreement. “Yeah...the last thing we need right now is trouble.”

-The Citadel: Lower Wards-

Chloe watched as Edda described his ship, and by the sounds of it he had something pretty impressive on his hands. She was getting kinda excited to see it (and tinker around with the engine)

"Okay, you're selling up this ship to be pretty damn cool, where is it?"


-Flashback-

There was silence on the line for a moment before Ava spoke. It was obvious that she caught the little jab. "Since when do you think you can take care of her any better than me? Chloe needs discipline, did she even tell you what she did this time? Hit a child in the face! Broke one of his teeth and now I am dealing with an upset mother and a school that wants her kicked out. And that's not even the half of it, she's in fights daily, talks back to her teachers and is overly violent for a nine year old girl- she punched a hole through her bedroom wall three months ago and just about broke her wrist doing it!"

From her spot Chloe was obviously tense, but quiet. She wasn't exactly proud of her rap sheet and really didn't want her dad to know about all the trouble she was. She continued to clench his shirt, unaware that she was doing it with all her strength.

"Adriel was in the Alliance military for several years. If anyone can get her to straighten out it's him. If she's complaining about being punished then she's being overdramatic I can assure you."

“Hopefully...” Jimi said, “Omega might be a hard lead...”

He did look worried, contrasting against Eddie who had a happy virtual face, and the enthusiastic Kay herself.

Lower Wards

“In the docks, of course,” Edda said, “How fast do we need to move out?”

-Omega-

Mordin's Clinic

“Good. Good,” Mordin said, “Remember, no flying for a week. Needs time to heal. Anything else?”

He seemed preoccupied.

-Flashback-

Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, glancing down at Chloe who was holding unto his shirt tightly. He smiled down and her and gave her shoulder a soft squeeze, before he answered Ava.

“All of that sounds precisely why I should take her. Where else is she going to learn how to control her strength?” Ethan asked. “I know how to handle it, I can help her learn how to control it, and her anger.

“She's nine years old... of course she's going to act up, if Adriel tries to treat her like a soldier she's just going to act out more and more. I have a well paying job, I have my parents who can help if need be, and I am stronger then she is, I don't have to try and intimidate her or cut her hair to get her to behave...” Ethan continued, then paused, “And if I find out Adriel tries something like that again I will do everything in my power to gain full custody of Chloe.”

-Flashback-

Ava paused once more. This silence was longer than the last and once again there was a bit of rustling on the other side. "Fine. Have a go at it for all I care, but the second she acts out you're going to send her back. She's a terror on the best days- thanks part to your godforsaken powers. You really think treating her like a normal nine year old is going to change the fact that she can-and probably would- kill a man because she didn't get her way?"

Another groan. "I'll send her things. By the looks of it she didn't take much at all with her. "Tell her to be good and not to cause anymore grief. You can drop her back when you're ready to throw in the towel."

And with that the woman hung up, leaving Chloe in the care of her father for the time being. The little girl wasn't sure how long she would be staying but she felt a tiny bit of relief in her gut. She loosened her grip, once again pressing her hair out of her face. "She didn't want to talk to me." she noted, hopping from the bed and going through her bag of items she had been dragging along. She returned with her hands full of peanut butter crackers, placing them down on the bed. It was the only thing she thought to take with her food-wise, not to mention it was her favorite snack.

"Are you sure you want to watch me? I mean I don't wanna make you. Mom says i'm troubled....A lot."

Ethan sighed, putting the phone down once Ava hung up, looking over to Chloe and giving her another smile.

“Of course I want to watch you, and help you. I'm your father, and I'm very proud to have a daughter like you,” Ethan said, “Maybe you are troubled, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. I'll teach you how to control your strength. For right now though, we can order something for you to actually eat besides your peanut butter crackers here.”

He sat down on the bed, “We're leaving for home tomorrow, I'll call your grandparents and let them know the news, and get started on getting you transferred to a school where I live when we get there. But in the meantime that doesn't mean you get a break from learning, okay?”

Musashi felt a groan bubbling up as he listened to Chloe. She was having way too much fun with all of this, and he had a feeling it would only get worse. He just sighed, running his hand through his hair. “We should probably get moving...”

[Citadel: Melanie's Apartment]

Rica tossed the PDA towards Jason. “Just follow the map.”

Since GS isn't sure exactly where she is

[Citadel: Coffee Shop]

“I know you're not.” Connor said, looking up at her. “That's why I wanted to help you. You seem like a good person just in a bad situation, and... I know what that's like, so I want to help...”

He gave her a smile. “I know it's confusing and bad, but we'll figure something out, okay?”

[Space: Damion's Ship]

“Good. We'll need a good ship.” Haruka stated, and then she glanced over at Damion. “What's the ETA?”

[Omega: Afterlife]

Vegeta followed Nappa quietly, adjusting his scanner – until his eyes fell on Goku. The scouter suddenly went wild, and Vegeta's eyes widened.

“... Nappa! Go fight that guy.” Vegeta commanded. He had to be sure... if these scouter readings were accurate than that guy could be... a Saiyan.

Chloe gave a little nod, still chewing on her crackers, despite the offer of something more substantial. After a moment she stopped, staring at the man.

"You're like me right? How to do it?" She asked, pushing away the crackers for a moment. "Be so....." she paused, trying to think of the word. "How do you be so good? Even when you're like this?"

She looked nervous, but continued. "I wanna be good but I get mad easy. I break something accidentally because i'm not paying attention and then I get upset that I wasn't paying attention and then I break stuff on purpose because i'm mad and get madder and madder until I feel like i'm gonna explode....That's why I punched the wall last time....Do you ever feel like you just want to explode but you can't or you'll get into trouble?"
