Two and a half years later…
“Move your ass, Alexander!” Cross shouted from across the obstacles field, all her students were improving, all except Alexander who was lagging behind the rest. Beside her, Percy, her new Lieutenant, stood there grimacing every time one of the students fell off the rope course. Since the departure of Connor, Percy watched his Captain changed from an easy going woman to a stone cold commander. Much has changed in the past two years for his Captain, much to Percy’s disappointment, his Captain no longer smiled or even laughed. Watching the rookies, Percy pitied them. Especially since they’ve been running and going through those obstacles for four hours now. They were close to passing out in exhaustion. All new rookies feared training with the deadly Captain Cross, but none dare to voice their opinion about it. Well, all except for one student, who had his jaw broken when the cocky boy decided to call the Captain a heartless bitch. Percy snapped out of thought at the painful cry across the field. He frowns at the sight of one of the rookie lying on the mudded ground. Upon approaching, the new Lieutenant crouches down and sighed at the sight of the boy cradling his broken wrist to his chest while the other rookies surrounded him with concern. “I didn’t tell you to stop!” The exhausted and weary rookies quickly turned back to their training. While the medic team took the injured boy away, Percy approached his cold hard Captain. “Perhaps you should let them rest, Captain,” Percy suggested. “You can’t have your students dropping dead with exhaustion.” Cross scoffed. “If they can’t handle the pressure they shouldn’t have signed up,” she glared her eyes at her new Lieutenant. “Keep them there for another hour and then they can have their rest.” Percy bit back a curse as he watched his Captain leave the obstacles field. The urged to call off the training overwhelmed the young Lieutenant, but fearing his Captain’s wrath, Percy wisely kept his mouth shut. == Stripping off her military jacket and hanging it up, Cross stepped inside her apartment and waited. Every day for the past two years, the cold Captain entered her apartment and waited for the voice of her son to greet her. Now the only thing to greet her was the sound of silence. Swallowing down the lump in her throat, Cross shook off the disappointing feeling and closed the door behind her. Cross was heading towards her bedroom when a beep at her door alerted her of a visitor. She frowned, since her son left, the Captain haven’t been in the mood to entertain any guests. She got her answer when the door opened and in walked a familiar presence. “I will leave as soon as I tell you my two cents,” the fiery Kelly entered her apartment with determined steps. Her curly honey blond hair tied back in a ponytail and the specs she wore only seem to enhance the emerald green of her eyes. “You must stop your barbaric training with the rookies! They’re all coming to me in exhaustion and dehydration.” Cross wasn’t paying any attention to her words; in fact, her purple eyes were too busy drinking in the sight of a familiar face. Cross hasn’t seen her long lost friend for nearly a year, since their argument. It wasn’t until Kelly stepped into her line of vision that made the cold Captain snapped her attention back to the angry nurse. “Did you hear what I said?” Kelly snapped. “You have to stop acting like a bully!” At her words, Cross tilted her head to the side with a mocking grin. “It’s good to see you again too, Nurse Rose.” “Don’t you understand you’re putting those rookies through hell?” “It’s called training, that what they’re supposed to go through!” the Captain brushed off the nurse’s concern and made a move to toward her bedroom. “I’m not done talking with you!” Kelly stepped in front of the annoyed Cross. “Since Connor left you’ve been taking your anger out on everyone in the Colony!” Cross resisted the urged to roll her eyes. “We had the same argument a year ago; do you really want to go through it again?” At the reminder of the past, Kelly’s face blush hotly. Almost as if sensing what the blushing nurse was thinking, Cross grinned suddenly. “You still mad about it, Nurse Rose?” she taunted wickedly, “or does it excite you?” Kelly didn’t get the chance to reply when she suddenly found herself in the Captain’s arms. The wriggling nurse begins to blush hotly at the feel of the Captain’s lips on her neck. “Akira, don’t do this!” she whimpered, trying desperately to remain control and ignore her body’s demand. “Please don’t do this…” Hearing the pitiful plead from Kelly’s lips Cross immediately felt disgusted with herself. Muttering an apology, the Captain released the squirming nurse and backed away from her. “I didn’t mean to scare you, Kelly.” Kelly’s eyes softened at the lost tone in her friend’s voice. Since the day Connor left, it felt as though the little Yautja took her friend’s spirit with him. The only thing that remained behind was this cruel and harsh Captain that no one longer knew. Since then, Cross had remained beside the General at all times. The only time Cross came to her during those months were for her injuries. Kelly didn’t need to ask, her friend was once again training with the brutal General. And after a year her friend became the harsh and ruthless commander everyone now knows. Whether it was training them on the obstacles or sparring with them on the mat, they always came to Kelly near death or exhaustion, those poor rookies. Cross was always hard before, but never cruel. The first night Kelly confronted the raven haired ice beauty was a night the nurse will never forget. (Flash Back…) “Dammit, Cross, you can’t treat your students like this!” after witnessing the horror of the students being poured into the medic quarter with injuries after injuries, Kelly couldn’t take it anymore. The fiery little nurse marched towards Cross’s apartment and stormed in unannounced. The Captain had been sitting at her table with a cup of coffee in her hand when she walked in. But seeing her friend weary with dark circles under her eyes with a very pale complexion, Kelly’s angered instantly melts away. Crying out in concern, the nurse quickly rushed to her friend’s side. “Akira, are you sick?!” her fingers were already checking her Captain’s pulse and feeling the temperature on her forehead. Grunting, Cross pulled away from her. “There’s nothing wrong with me,” she rolled her eyes with annoyance. She snapped her emerald green eyes at her. “Don’t you dare lie to me!” Growling like an animal, the Captain snapped out of her chair and hurled the little nurse none too gently on the table. Crying out in both fear and pain, Kelly barely had time to get up when suddenly the Captain’s body held her back down. With one hand, Cross held Kelly’s wrists above her head while with the other hand she used her fore finger and thumb to grip on to the nurse’s delicate chin. “Now, Nurse Rose,” Cross snarled as she lowers her head until their noses were inches apart. “Do I look like a sick person?” Seeing the anger and violence in those eyes, Kelly shook her head with a whimper. “Good,” she grinned down her icily. “Now, let me show you what a healthy person can do.” Grabbing the back of her hair, Cross held the struggling nurse in place before slamming her lips against hers. Kelly always dreamt of having her first kiss with Cross to be a romantic one, one where they held each other in a tender embrace after declaring their love. But this wasn’t the dream kissed Kelly had wanted from her Captain. This kiss was meant to show dominance and raw anger; it both hurt and frightened the shaking nurse. Whimpering, Kelly tore her lips forcefully away from the Captain’s brutality. Already she tasted the blood on her cut lip. “Stop it, Cross, stop it!” she begged. At the sight of blood, Cross reared back in shock and horror, she was paled before but after seeing blood on her friend’s lips, she was paler now. Backing away from Kelly in haste, Cross turned her back on her friend with her hand pressed against her mouth. The urged to vomit was strong. “Get out here, Kelly,” Cross whispered hoarsely. Touching a shaky finger to her cut lip, she winced at the sharp sting. Kelly’s emerald eyes filled with tears at the hurt and pain twisting in her heart. Who had her friend become? Jumping off the table, Kelly made a move towards her Captain. “Akira, please…" “Get out of here!” Cross growled, “And don’t come back!” Kelly’s flinched back at the angry shout, her face paling and her heart racing. It felt as though she was meeting the cold and bitter Akira Cross for the first time. Sobbing, Kelly rushed out the door, never once looking back. (Flash Back End) What the hells the matter with you? Cross couldn’t shake those words out of her head. Since when did she take pleasure in seeing others in pain? Pushing the rookies was one thing, but hurting Kelly was another. It almost made her felt like she was twelve years old again. “I’m not the best company at the moment, Nurse Rose,” Cross muttered numbly, her dull eyes staring off into space. “Not for those past two years, no,” she agreed, approaching the stiffed form of her friend. “But I think I’ve come to a conclusion to why you are the way you are.” She frowned at her words. “And what is your conclusion?” “You rather hurt people than be hurt yourself.” Cross head tilted at her words, her fingers curling into fists. “Are you planning to explain that to me?” Gathering her courage, Kelly stood within an arm reach away. “Connor’s gone…Constantine’s gone…all that lost in one day. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to help you with the pain. But watching you take your rage out on innocents, you’ve become what your father always wanted.” “I’m nothing like my father!” she snapped. Instantly, Kelly inched away. “And you’re nothing like the Akira I knew! Face it, Cross, you’re every inched your father now. In the beginning you had me to hold on to…but since Connor came you held on to him…and now that he’d gone you feel abandoned and you fear I will do the same.” Cursing, Cross turned away from her words. “You scare me, Cross, I feel like a nine year old again and you’re the twelve year old bully. I’m the one who failed you; don’t take your anger out on those poor kids…” “Stop it,” she hissed. “To take away the pain you hurt others, to make yourself forget you punish those around,” saying those words, Kelly approached the stiffed Captain and pulled her into an unwanted embrace. “You can’t become the man you despise, what would your son think?” Ruthlessly, Cross tore herself away from Kelly’s warm arms. Her mind racing with the words Kelly just uttered. Was that really the reason why she’s been acting the way she did? Of course she didn’t feel abandon by her son…and yet she couldn’t help but feel it. Was that the real reason why she trained with her father? “Don’t become like him,” she pleaded. “Dammit, Kelly…” A sudden beep at her door alerted her of a visitor. The doors slid open and in walked her new Lieutenant, who instantly halted at the sight of the two woman. “What is it, Lieutenant?” she snapped when he was taking too long to say something. Percy flinched. “Uh…Captain….you’re summon by the General.” She gave him a curt nod and left the apartment without hesitation. Kelly’s words still played in her head by the time she made it to her father’s private office. She frowned upon entering, as always her father was seated at his desk, but his attention was turn to the 42 inched screen in front of him. Her scowl deepened at the sight of the three Councilmen displayed on the screen. “Ah, Captain Cross, just in time for the news I have in store for the General,” Councilman Johnson announced with his smug look. “And I have been waiting patiently for this news,” General Edwin growled. “Tell me, Councilmen, what news do you have that is so important?” “This news should please you, General,” Johnson smirked. “As you’re aware of there’s been talk of going to war with the Yautja for some time now.” Edwin scoffed at the idea. War with the whole Yautja Clan? That would be a mission of suicides. As much as the General hate to admit it, it was likely they would lose if they tried. The Yautja’s weapons were too advanced and their strength alone overpowered them. “Of course we’ve come to a more peaceful solution,” Johnson continued. “And so we decided to form a treaty with the Yautja’s Elders and they agreed.” Edwin’s brows rose at that. “A peace treaty with the Yautja Clan?” “Yes. The treaty signing will be held within Colony 28 within a month,” the councilman announced. “And you, General, will play host when the Elders and their Clans resident within your Colony.” At his words, Edwin shot to his foot. “I will not…” “You will do as you’re order, General!” Johnson snapped. “You will keep an eye on them within that month until the treaty signing!” The General watched as the screen went black. Cursing he slammed his fist into the wall behind him. A peace treaty with the Yautja race…Cross made sure to hide her smile from her father. == Everyone in the Colony was buzzing with the news of the peace treaty, most in fear and some in excitement. The councilmen later on sent a message that the Elders and their Clans will be arriving in two days. The General was absolutely furious, the councilmen didn’t reveal which Clans was coming and the fear in his stomach just kept knotting. The ghosts of his past were starting to catch up with him. Storming into his apartment, the General needed to get away before he decided to slam someone’s head into a wall to relieve his frustration. The second he walked into his apartment the tiny hair on the back of his neck stood up. Without hesitation the General reach for his .223 Remington and aimed. “Whoever you are, come out!” A shimmer of wave appear in the middle of his apartment floor. A low growled was his only answer, but throughout the years the General recognized that growl from anywhere. Without hesitation, Edwin lowered the gun and lowered his head in submission. “Welcome, Honored Elder,” Edwin greeted respectfully. The sparkle of blue light flickered over the figure before revealing an eight foot seven Yautja male. The armors on this warrior were plated gold, his dreadlocks once a proud inky black was now gray. Gold and silver rings decorated the Elder’s dreads and his weapons secured in place. The mask over the Yautja had special symbols carved in, one of them his Clan’s symbol. “It’s been a while, Edwin,” the Elder observed, “I trust everything is well?” “Yes and what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?” Edwin asked, already he can feel his palms sweating. “If I’ve known you were coming sooner…” “I came ahead of my Clan to speak with you,” he announced, interrupting whatever Edwin had in mind. “I’m sure your ooman Councilmen informed you of our visit. I am one of the Elder that will be there to sign the treaty.” The General nodded. “You said you wished to speak to me…what about?” “I came here because of your pup.” At the mentioned of his daughter, Edwin stiffened. “What about my daughter?” “I heard stories of her…a very courageous story and one involving raising a Yautja child.” Edwin grunted, the damn little runt was spreading stories up there. “Is the story coming from an albino Yautja?” The Elder chuckled. He detected a note of resentment in his voice. “And the story also mentions your pup defying a certain General and even going through a hive of unstable Kainde Amedha and their two headed Queen to keep the Yautja pup. I must say…I wonder who she inherited her stubbornness from.” Already Edwin can feel his fists clenching, if he ever see that albino runt he was going to give him a beat down! “She doesn’t know…does she?” The General shifted uncomfortably where he stood. “If you already know me, Elder, than you know…” Behind his mask, Elder Bakuub’s mandibles twitched in guilt at his words. “It’s unfortunate that you feel this way, Edwin. What happened to you all those years ago…I didn’t know.” “You said you wish to discuss my daughter?” Edwin snapped, the thought of talking about his past sent an unwanted fear down his spines. “Of course, I just thought by now your daughter is of age…” “Absolutely not, Elder, I will not have my only child…” the General cursed and turned away from the Elder. “She’s has the right to know her bloodline,” Elder Bakuub interrupted, speaking in clear English. “Despite of what you think we’re all not the same.” Edwin snorted. “Since you’re here…they are coming as well…” His nod confirmed it. “They’re also part of the signing treaty. You must put aside your anger and hatred when they arrive.” Not fucking likely, Edwin thought bitterly. The thought of him coming into his Colony nearly made the General bellow his rage and frustration. “Your pup must be told of the situation before they come…you don’t want her finding out when he arrives.” As much as Edwin hated to admit it…the Elder was right. If his daughter found out from someone else’s mouth…the General shook his head at the thought. They were coming in two days…perhaps it was time to tell his daughter the truth. “I left the Clan to get away from all of this…” Edwin muttered, suddenly feeling tired. “Everyone runs from their past…but sooner or later it will catch up to them,” with a growl, Bakuub move towards him. “And now they’re coming back and you have nowhere to run. You must stop running, Edwin, and not submit.” Edwin opened his mouth to snap out a remark when suddenly the door to his apartment opens and in walked his daughter. “General, I brought in those reports you wanted…” Cross instantly halted at the sight of an eight foot seven Yautja male standing there beside her father. “I thought the arrival wasn’t for another two days…” “Akira, there’s someone I want you to meet…” Edwin started, his one gray eye shifting anywhere except at his daughter. As he said those words, Bakuub was taking off the hose attached to his mask, white stream hissed from the hoses before he removed his mask. As the Elder lower the mask, the folders in Cross’s hands dropped unknowingly to the floor. Her father was known throughout the Colonies to hate and despised the Yautja race. Even when she had her son the General did everything he could to get rid of her adopted Yautja son. As soon as the gray dreadlocks Yautja lowered his mask Cross stumbled back in shock and felt her heart stop. But it wasn’t the alien’s ancient face that frightened her nor was it his crab-like mandibles, but it was his eyes…it felt as though she was looking into a mirror. They were the same glowing purples eyes as hers. Cross’s snapped her eyes towards her father. “What’s the meaning of this, dad?” “Akira, this is Elder Bakuub of the R'ka Luar-ke Clan,” Edwin cleared his throat, finally his gray eye meeting his daughter for the first time since she came into his apartment. “He’s your great-great grandsire.” Great-great grandsire… “You mean as in fugitively speaking?” Cross asked numbly. “As in biologically speaking…” “Ooh…” Akira Cross, Captain of Colony 28…fought in many battles and led many men into war…she even fought against Xenomorph and even their Queen, hell, she even killed a Yautja. But for the first time in her twenty-three years the Captain pitched forward in a dead faint. == LadyC: i hope this chapter answered your question hahaha bloodravyn: aww don't be too hard on her dad! hahaha Uchiha Mizuki: Thanks!!! beliefinkakashi: ......ta da!!! hahaha well its only two years but no worries they we be reunited soon and Constantine won't be in for a while hahah thannks!! i always like your review!!!
