Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kylar approached the port city of Darnys from the sky, his silhouette outlined against the bright midday sun. He looked out over the city taking in the sights before slowly descending so that he could navigate the streets of the city without drawing attention. Several minutes passed as Kylar made sure he didn't have a tail, his direction changing towards some of the mid tier hotels. Footsteps hastened as Kage became anxious, chattering in his head. "You're late. We were supposed to be back yesterday, what if she's gone. What if something happened. I'll never forgive you if anything happened to her because of you delaying me." Kylar spoke out loud to Kage, "Ohh shut it. If it wasn't for my visit to Iss-Banor you wouldn't have had enough for that house. She doesn't have anywhere else to go anyways, she'll be waiting for us to get back." the bickering continued one sided with Kage speaking to Kylarm but as thery approached the crowded streets of the port town Kage quickly became quiet knowing that Kylar needed to be alert in case of danger as he would have been.

He passed strangers on the street silently on the way to the Hotel Hideaway, a conveniently named lovers resort that had been chosen for it's ironic naming and secrecy regarding guests. It was a romantic getaway that didn't ask questions and most people kept to themselves making it the perfect place to keep Andy out of sight without question for a short period of time. He approached the front desk smiling at the attendant before stepping past the front lobby towards the guest elevators. He took the lift up towards the room he had reserved with Andy and opened the door. He stepped in and announced himself to avoid injury, the flirty way Kage had surprised her no longer acceptable given their situation. "Andy, I'm back."

Kylar wrapped his arm around Andy as she hugged him, squeezing lightly. He looked down slightly gazing into her eyes as he spoke, "Sorry I'm late. I got held up by Mara while I was out. I've got good news though, I found us a place to live." He watched her for a moment curious to how she would react to that news as he held onto the rest of the information. It's not that he didn't want to tell her, but that how she asked would be a good way to gauge her reaction to the news. "Kiss her you idiot! We haven't seen her in a long time." Kage ever present made himself known shouting at Kylar. He got a look of annoyance on his face for a brief moment before leaning in to kiss Andy. After a moment he pulled away looking at her once more as he asked, "How was your week, was the hotel accommodating?"

Kylar released Andy and moved over to the bed removing his suit jacket, the tears in the fabric easily visible when not worn on the body. He removed a hanger from the closet and hung up the jacket. Moving across the room, he took a seat in the room and looked back to Andy. "How do you feel about spending another night here before we head to our new home?" Kylar asked with a grin, perhaps this would be enough to shut up Kage for a while. It was unlikely, but either way it would be relaxing.

Kylar kicked off his shoes and joined Andy in the bed. He was on his side so that he could watch her. She seemed concerned, but he didn't see Mara as a threat, her pets however. His head shook as he answered her first question, "No, she doesn't know where we are. I'm fine, just a few scratches." He placed his free arm across her cuddling in the bed as they continued to talk. "I got a house in Hinale, a village far to the south of here. Apparently it was once the City of Angels. There are no humans in the village so it should be the perfect place to start a family." He grinned at that last part.

The desk was littered with crumpled up scraps of paper, obviously she was having trouble writing and it seemed to be upsetting her. Trying to calm her down he reassured her, "Don't worry that you can't write, it's probably just nerves. I'm sure once we settle down you'll be flowing freely." He leaned in to kiss her cheek pausing at the question. He thought for a moment and then spoke, "I was looking for the woman who took me from Sanctuary twenty years ago. She's the one who raised me and I thought maybe she would be able to tell me why I didn't remember anything." He intentionally left out details regarding Kate although he now knew the truth because as far as Andy knew he couldn't remember who he was. There was no need to ruin things by telling her that it was only her now.

Protected, in the city of angels? The question struck a cord with Kylar, while there were no humans there would she really be protected? It was hard to say given he couldn't control an entire city to guarantee it was safe, but it was likely one of the safer places they could go. After giving it thought he finally answered, "That's the plan. Hinale should be safe for us, safe enough for children even." He mentioned the possibility of them having children once more before addressing her concerns. Safety, that seemed to be her biggest issue perhaps tackling that one first would be enough to shift her opinion. He thought briefly choosing his words carefully before speaking, "No one will find out. We'll just have to take a few extra precaution, but we'll be able to protect them."

Andy brought up Kate, saying she might know where she was. Had she met Kate when they had been at the renegade base? He wasn't sure, but regardless perhaps this was another point he could push towards his own ends. Of course he remembered who Kate was and that she was a member of EE so he wasn't giving up anything by what he said, however Andy didn't know that. Kylar leaned into her hand while he spoke gently, "I don't care about her anymore. I wanted to know who she was so that I could know my own family. I don't need that though, you and I can start our own. The past is forgotten for a reason so I only want to look to our future."

Kylar smiled, she was beginning to accept his idea of a family, only a slight push was needed now. She wondered if she ever, the pause he pondered what she was going to say and responded, "What woman doesn't want a family? People to love you unconditionally, someone who needs you to survive. I can't think of anything more beautiful than the creation of new life." Kylar pulled in closer, kissing her cheek. "Luxury is more than just something you can afford, it's something you deserve."

Kylar rolled over, holding himself up over Andy. He looked down into her eyes speaking gently, "Well, if we weren't metas we would already be on the right track." He had a playful grin as he leaned in, his lips against hers. Pulling away a few moments later he spoke again, "Just because it doesn't work like that for us doesn't mean we can't begin there though. We can go over the other details on the way to Hinale."

Kylar was pulled in by Andy, their tongues intertwined as the kiss deepened. Taking a moment to breath as she whispered, he responded. "I love too, Andy" Andy reciprocated his desires as they lost themselves in one another.

A beautiful voice woke Kylar the next morning. He peeked out of the sheets watching Andy for a while before crawling out of bed. His reflection joined hers in the mirror as he walked up behind her. Kylars arms wrapped around her waist, his head moving close to hers as he whispered in her ear. "Good morning, beautiful." Kissing the back of her neck he gently pulled her back to the bed. All of the progress she had made in getting ready for the day undone as he pulled her back under the sheets.

Later that same morning, Kylar grabbed the phone beside the bed and ordered room service. He slipped out of bed heading towards the shower as he called out to Andy, "Breakfast should be up soon. I suggest you get in a nap until they get here, we have a long trip ahead of us."

Kylar got out of the shower as the food arrived. He threw on a towel before opening the door and accepting the tray of food. He placed the food on a counter and began getting dressed and sitting down to eat with Andy. Once done eating he began to talk as Andy got ready for the trip, "So, about how we start a family. I heard of a local legend in Hinale. Apparently there is a golden goddess to the west of the city, those that complete a marriage ritual there are blessed with children by the gods." He smiled at the mention of marriage and added, "That means I'm asking you to marry me."

Kylar pulled Andy into his arms kissing her. His proposal had been odd, delivered poorly, but still she accepted. His lips caressed hers before he whispered to her, "I love you, Mrs. Gatt. He resisted the urge to crawl back into bed again, instead grabbing his jacket from the closet to finish getting ready.

Watching Andy pack, a voice rang through his head. He seemed to doubt himself or at least Kage did. 'You can't do this. It's not right to trick her into having your children.' Kylar frowned as the personality he had developed in the months where he didn't exist surfaced. Kage, the personality that had developed during that time had been a disappointment. Had things gone as planned he would have simply been able to forget the time he had been another, but given the threats he had encountered it was no longer possible. 'You're one to talk, Kage. You were fine sleeping with her when she didn't know better. The only difference is when I'm done we can attempt to fix your mistake without dying.' Kage remained silent after he responded in his own head.

Once the packing was complete, Kylar picked up the bag and pushed open a window. He put the bag on his back and looked to Andy with a grin, "I figured we could fly there. Are you up for stretching your wings?"

Kylar slowly descended behind Andy, watching her reaction. When she grabbed her arm he stepped in and took her hand. He looked at her and smiled, trying to calm her nerves as he spoke, "Don't worry, Andy. We're safe here, so let's go home." Home, the idea of having one of his own was still strange. Even stranger was having one with a woman he barely knew, his feelings for her a byproduct of his other self. He hadn't chosen any of this for himself, but he couldn't just abandon his responsibilities or ignore the feelings he developed because of Kage.

Kylar led Andy towards a small house near the edge of town. Although small, it had four bedrooms, ample room for several children should things work out in his favor. Andy was a wildcard, like himself she had been given a blank slate and developed into another person. The person she was before a mystery other than the brief glimpses he had of her before her memory. The first two steps of his plan were falling into position, a place for her to call home and soon children of her own. If everything went well he could undo the mistake Kage had made when he forced her to love him. The children could fulfill his promise to her of someone to want her, assuming she would want nothing to do with him anymore.

Their bedroom, one of the few furnished rooms in the house, was the last one he took her to. He watched Andy as he asked, "So, what do you think? Is it to small?" He set down the bag watching her with anticipation.
