I blame the beer.

Please follow the links as it will help you remember just whats com before, yes Jon IG this is for you.

Its been about 12 hours since we wrapped things up in Fiji.

The bad guys got beaten. The Australian embassy staff were saved during our fight with the International Guard.

Prescott, you remember him.

Stuck up tight-ass Englishman who thinks he's in charge of me. Well while I was saving the team, Prescott had an Special Forces team teleported in and the embassy staff were saved with little fuss. Not one person was killed.

When I got back with Psykan, Xeenon, and Major Force in tow I thought it would at least bring a smile on the Administrators face.

Well she was pissed. She went at me.

"You think I'm going to be impressed." her tone was caustic. "It was just a simple extraction and your super-buffoons screwed it all up."
"Buffoons!" I exclaimed.
"Yes buffoons. Your supposed to be an elite team but all you ended up doing was losing a member to a telepath and untold property damage in downtown Suva." she stopped there. Composed herself, sat down behind her desk. She did a few things on her laptop.
"You are no longer Assistant Administrator. If it was up to me your only concern would be Slipstream. But Prescott believes the team needs you, especially now with Ki-Yama injured. You can go know. But when your not playing super-hero you WILL be in the lab."

With that I was dismissed. Slipstream is a problem, the Administrator is under pressure to get the cosmic energy program back online. Free energy is a big thing. But last time it killed many and changed myself and two others. (my flashback of Slipstream)

I was then accosted by Vince (Vortex), Warren (Crater) and Justice Nichols.

Now Warren's only been here a few weeks He and Justine look rather close, he works fast.
"Koma now your coming to the party." slurs Vince.
"Party?" I ask.
"Yeah. Were having a bit of a celebration. For a first job well done." says Warren smugly.

Ki-Yama turned up, her arm in a brace. Even Aryis was there. The beer was nice. How Warren got Corona here I don't know.

Annabell showed up but it wasn't her crowd.

She left after trying to interest me in a meaningful conversation. I didn't need that. Sure she was once my goth girl but I was a different person back then. But I still know she's one of the few here I can trust.

Well after the beers were flowing and the music got played. Chroma showed up.

The rest of the night was a bit of a blur.
I remember a few things to do with Chroma. But not much else.

Then I wake up in the morning, in bed and someones next to me......

I check myself first, I'm naked. Thats not completely a bad thing. I check the someone next to me, long blonde hair, smells of perfume, I look under the covers. Its female I'm very sure of it.
She stirs.
"Morning Austin. Some fun last night eh!." mentions Chroma.
"Yeah." I answer still quite taken aback.
"You don't remember a thing do you?" she's not accusing me but it sure feels like it.
I nod with a pained look on my face.
"Oh well then I better give you something to remember." her smile is delightfully wicked.

I don't kiss and tell so well leave it there.
