Eve's eyes opened slowly as she groaned, hidden under a mass bundle of blankets and pillows on her bed in the room she had been given to live in with her daughter until she could find a place of her own. Tesla was staring at her mother with wide, excited eyes and from the angle Eve was at, the way she looked up at her daughter seemed a little out of place. Small fingers came to rub bright large blue eyes as she yawned loudly, though, loudly sounded a little...child like. Smacking her lips together as she sat up, cross legged, she found herself nearly eye level with a STANDING Tesla, a brow raised before she looked down at her own hands.
Alarms in her mind sounded off as she stared at the light purple skin tone, the tiny slightly long fingers, her short just-over-two-foot frame...
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" let out the child like pip-squeak voice as her body instantly raised three feet, pixie wings flapping vigorously as she paused in mid air. In a burst of anger, which looked rather hilarious to the toddler zurg on the bed, Eve flew towards the body mirror as she looked at her nude, purple frame.
"I knew I should have never trusted that STUUUUPID MAGIIIIIICIAN!" She let out in a scream that seemed to echo around the room, before she flew straight for the suitcase as her body seemed to disappear within it, clothing flinged every which way. Tesla sat on the bed clapping with joy at the sight of this, finding this moment the most eventful time in her short life.
As Eve finished her outfit, she looked as magical as she had become, adjusting the large hat on her head slightly as she frowned.
She looked to Tesla as she flew up close, forehead nearly touching as she spoke. "You think this is funny?" She let out in her high pitched voice, Tesla's wide eyes staring or a moment before the silliest of grins plastered to her face, nodding with a toothless grin.
Soon Eve hoist Tesla up by the under arms, flying towards the door as she screamed for it to open, along with a slew of ranting dirty words that mothers shouldn't say with their children within earshot. The door opened automatically, just as Eve zipped out quickly, Tesla in mid air held by the under arms giggling with joy and excitement.
Eve needed to find someone, anyone...

It was just another day at the office as far as Naru was concerned. Paperwork for this weapon, blueprints for that one. Another inquiry into that damned infernal Balloon Incident. "Honestly, how many frigging times will that come back to haunt me?" he asked, to no one in particular. He glanced around, to see if anyone was coming, and contemplated "finishing" his papers, with help of some close friends of his, Mr. Paper Shredder and Mr' Blow-Torch.

Eve buzzed around through halls, doors, rooms, examination quarters, and what other random what not she could until she could find someone...anyone! Anyone at this point! Tesla wiggled under the now-pixie's grasp as she flew by miscellaneous workers of the sort, trying to spot out actual agents she could trust with the situation.
Just as Naru would turn to view down the hall she came through, her body was quickly approaching his as a fearful-of-crashing look became plastered onto her face, though Tesla's was full of excitement as her arms outstretched for Naru, giggling with the toothless gummy grin she had permanently glued to her face. With such luck, Eve was able to avoid a collision, slowing twenty feet from him as her back faced him, floating still in mid air as she paused to catch her breath. She held onto Tesla tightly who wiggled in her grasp, though content as she clapped excitedly. The toddler zurg was in nothing but a diaper at the moment, as well.
"I think I have a problem." She let out as her head turned.
Eve? Really?
Really?

Naru blinked as he saw the pixie approach him. "What the hell? Seriously? I've been around for all this time, and now I get a conscious? That's weird...I didn't know those things came with baby Zurg...Well, ok...what can I do for you?"

The zurgling looked to Naru with those large black orbs of hers, that familiar gleam and gummy grin as she clapped her hands over and over and outstretched them for him to take her, wanting to be held as she giggled. Eve stared a moment, then squealed in her pip-squeak voice, which sounded a bit to funny even though she was being serious as ever.
"You mean to tell me you don't at LEAST recognize TESLA?!" She let out as she soon shoved the toddler...carefully... into his arms, her body floating in a circle around him as she spoke a bit rushed. "I don't know how this happened! I went to sleep! Woke up, and now I'm this...this..." She paused, growling her next words.
"FAIRYTALE CREATURE!!"
With that she eyeballed Tesla as she came face to face with the grinning zurgling. "And don't you laugh missy!"

A wave of relief broke of Naru's face. "Oh thank god! I thought I actually had something to worry about for a moment, like my nose growing, or having to save a little Indian girl, or 7 short people wanting me to fix their house or something. Whew, that's a relief...Hey....This is Tesla...What happened to Eve? Why do you have her?"
He glanced at the pixie, and then reached for his biometric scanner, comparing her brain signals and eye patterns. "Wait a second...is that...Oh wow....You...you turned into..a.." Naru couldn't help but burst into laughter, as he nearly fell off his chair. "You turned into a Pixie! Oh my god! That's! That's just...Wow!" Naru tried to contain his amusement, but seeing as how Tesla's own reaction to Eve's change matched his, he didn't worry too much on it. "So wait, seriously. How did that happen?"

Eve only shrugged as she fumed, her light purple cheeks turning a deeper shade of pinkish purple as her wings seemed to flap faster, a blur at this point as she float just above and near him.
"I don't know! I'm hoping one of you guys can figure this ooout!" She let out in distress as the amount of energy she had built up seem to explode, her body zipping around the area to dispel some of the energy from her anger, letting out a shrill scream that seemed like a high pitched female child's wail.
After her mini mental meltdown, and a good amount of papers floating around from the wind of her flying, she slowed to a stop in the middle of the room as she float, her wings flapping quickly, but not buzzing in frustration like before.
"How am I suppose to take care of Tesla like this?! Do you know what its like to take care of a zurgling? They're like lizards on drugs! She climbs like she has suction cups for hands and feet! She can move around furniture! She can...well...now I can reach her heights...and I can still carry her without a struggle...
And now I can spy on her too.."
Pausing, she thought a moment as one leg crossed over the other as if she were sitting, though she was still in mid air, a hand to her chin.
"Hmm.."
She then eyed Naru as she spoke, floating close as she let her legs hang limp now, lowering to be eye to eye with Tesla as she stroked the toddler's face.
Tesla responded as she would if Eve were normal, closing her eyes and nuzzling into her hand as she coo'd.
"Well, I suppose this won't be so bad.."

Naru nodded with a somewhat somber expression. "So, what do you remember about...your change..." he asked gently.

Eve took a deep breath in as she slowly lowered herself to sit on Naru's right leg as Tesla scootched to sit on his left, her hands playing at Tesla's hands as the two mingled, Eve keeping Tesla occupied as the little zurgling giggled lightly.
"Absolutely nothing. I fell asleep Gaian, and woke up...fantasy." She let out as she let her wings brace against her back, her eyes looking up to him as she spoke.
"A little while back I came across this magician who did some doo-hicky spell on me. Didn't do no lick of good." She let out as she shrugged.
"I guess this is what I get for dabbling in evil things." She smirked a bit at Tesla's antics, watching as Tesla giggled playfully, using her feet to tap at Eve's hands.

Naru nodded. "Any chance that this is what that spell caused?"

Eve only shrugged, climbing from his leg to the table as she paced along it, trying to think. "I don't even have a clue." She let out as she sighed. Her stomach growled loudly, frowning as she pressed her hand to her belly. "Woah...there a kitchen in this place?" She let out as Tesla's stomach began to growl as well.

Naru simply smiled. "Whose office are we in again? I have everything in here. Just follow me and watch your...oh wait...You're tiny so that won't be a problem..." Naru opened a door in his desk and pushed a big red button. Seconds later, a small alarm went off, and quickly ended. There was a hissing sound, and Naru's filing cabinet slid to the side, revealing a passageway to Naru's back office, which was actually adjacent to his own secret weapons testing lab. (Yes, I have my own lab that not even regular S-13 N.E.E.W.D member shave access to.). He walked forward in darkness a few steps, holding on to Eve and Tesla, and then stood up and hit a button, turning on the lights. "Here ya go, my home away from home. Full kitchen, TV, Sofa, bed, library. You name it, I have it. Except a pool. I'm still working on paper work for that. And a fireplace. They said I can't have one of those yet either. But yeah, the kitchens right back that way, make yourself at home. Just......Stay out of the locked section. It might scar Tesla if she saw what was in there..."

Eve's brow raised slightly at Naru's comment, her features contorted in confusion. "Im not even gonna ask." She let out as she fluttered down to grasp Tesla under the arms, holding her firmly as she float towards the kitchen silently. She sat Tesla on the counter and kept a close eye on the rather silent youngling, exploring the contents of the kitchen before taking out a pot and starting up some boiling water. She grabbed a container of elbow macaroni, setting in near the pot as she went and grabbed different seasonings and some oil.
"Tesla doesn't like cheese."
She let out slightly as her body went back and forth as she gathered different things, Tesla watching with slight interest.
"So... Not that I am complaining or anything, because I am greatful...but... Why did you find me?"

Naru looked at Eve and mouthed the word "Blood" while pointing at his eyes and fangs, hoping she would make the connection. "Why did I find you? That's simple...I missed you. You vanished without a trace. And so, after a while, I started to give up. I thought you had moved on. But then one day, a bunch of us began talking about some of the older agents that had just vanished. your name came up. And then someone said that they had seen you, that you had returned to your original life, the life you had before you became one of us. I was curious, I wanted to know if it was true, if you really had come back, and if so, why you left. I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to encourage you to come back to us. And I figured that, long shot though it might be, it was worth the chance."

It took her a moment to realize what he was symboling to, but once she caught on, she seemed nervous, but holding it together for the little one. The water had come to a boil, and now Eve took the container of dried macaroni and poured six cups worth, soon stirring with a wooden spoon as she sprinked different seasonings and such into the boiling pot.
"Yes, I went back to the complex." She let out as she spoke of what she last remembered, a tinge of sadness in her voice.
"I kind of just woke up back in the apartment, as If my time here was but a dream. The imprint of g.I.b in my mind is nothing but a blurred dream, dissolved through time." She sighed softly.
"I wanted to give Tesla's father a chance... He said he had cleaned up, but..." She shrugged a bit, keeping constant attention to the now napping toddler. "He didn't stay clean for long. Gaia became to... Stimulating for him. He forced me to shift body structure, to be more like a Gaian family. It took weeks to keep him from shifting poor Tesla... And Gabriel..." A pain stung her heart at her next words, taking in a breath.
"His heart couldn't handle it." She frowned.
