Clone City, Valley of the Queens

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

"This... this is not funny."

With a voice devoid of accent Sal found herself suddenly not at home, returning to her living room after a bathroom break while watching reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If the place had been a nexus or something she was more familiar with she would have been perfectly okay with the entire situation.

Except that this was not a room, not a nexus, and not a cafe. It was a cave. She wasn't a fan of caves. They were gross and earthy and just... well... gross. This cave wasn't drippy or anything, but she still didn't like it. She growled to herself and walked awhile until she found a large French door. Which was weird in and of itself. She wrenched it open and found her feet on green grass.

"Where the hell am I?" She looked around at the enormous valley spread out around her.

This is surreal...

Sal just folded her arms and made a face.

"Are you going to do whatever you want or should I just go home?"

"Apologize," said Fi sternly, giving his mentor a shake.

"What???" Kal's eyes went wide.

"You're not supposed to get a woman excited when she's that big. You could hurt the baby." The jovial clone tightened his grip.

Kal's face went red. "Urghh."

Kurt blinked, then put his arms back around his wife. "Liebe?"

Sal looked at Kurt, then drew a deep breath. "Know what?" She swung her legs around so that they were dangling off the edge of the table. "Let's go home."

She wasn't in the mood for this.

"I don't think he meant to be insulting vith calling them pets," he said softly, reaching for her hand.

"Hey." Kal stopped trying to get loose. "Don't go. I still have to show you this fake coffee stuff they make here."

Sal pursed her lips and sighed again. "Alright."

[random_xtras]

"Great!" Fi dropped Kal and hurried over to a cupboard, cheerfully clapping his hands together.

Kal grumbled and rubbed his ribs. "You just wait... I know where you sleep now."

Kurt pulled Sal close and rested his cheek on her hair, tail sneaking around her ankle.

And she just grinned slightly, putting her arms around him. "Sorry," she whispered. "'S a touchy subject."

[random_xtras]

He nodded, then looked at Kal. "They're not pets. They're her sons."

The old soldier just grumbled and rubbed his ribs.

And Sal just smirked, feeling very good that Kal had got what was coming to him.

"So Fi," she said, "how 'bout we does this this year, eh?"

[random_xtras]

"Yup, here I come." He hastily wiped his mouth and took what he was supposed to be getting out of the cupboard, then closed it and turned to walk back.

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

She smiled widely. "Alright. What do I gotta do?"

[random_xtras]

"Poke your finger, put the blood on this and this, and watch the pretty colours." Fi grinned.

Kal looked at him and then shook his head with a sigh.

"I meant with respect to the ultra - oh whatever." Sal grabbed the lancet and poked, and did what Fi instructed.

"See Kurt," she said loudly, "once he puts the assays on there, if they turns blue it's fire and if it turns red it's water. Don't ask me who thought that up..." She winked at Fi.
