Title: Lost and found
Post by gtrell on Feb 23^rd, 2006, 8:28pm

ON:

G'Trell had spent the better part of her morning looking for Tarlin. The watchers toreQ had set to watch him had lost him. She was not surprised he was a rather difficult child to keep track of. Arrogant like his father yet civil like his mother. She slipped into the mess hoping he had stopped in here for a bite to eat.

Satian and Starfire had gone to the mess hall after Satian’s match. after as small stop to get the ugly gash on Satian's left arm taken care of. It had taken 23 stitches to close the wound and the dressing was now hidden under his armor. they were having coffee when G’Trell entered the room.

Satian spoke “G’Trell just came in and she doesn’t looked pleased.”

Starfire glanced in the direction Satian was looking but didn't pay the woman much heed "Can you blame her?" She was feeling only slightly better from the couple of hours she'd spent in her alcove. Though her appetite had not improved.

“I can blame her for much. although in this case I have no idea who has won her disapproval.”

Starfire chuckled "I'll give you one guess."

G'Trell scanned the room she spotted Satian and Starfire she gave Starfire a nod and completely ignored Satian remembering her 'talk' with Tapez she would have to be civil on the station. She walked to the bar to ask the attendant if he had seen her son.

Starfire acknowledged G'Trell's nod with one of her own

Satian turned his ice blues on his wife, “is it just me or has the temperature dropped 10 degrees. I think I will go say hi to our former fighter pilot.”

:Starfire did a good job of hiding her smile, thinking to herself 'sucks to be you' "I do believe I'll join you."

G'Trell frowned as the attendant told her that her son had not been in during his shift. "wonderful!" She growled "he up and disappeared like something outta David copperfeild."

Satian stood up and headed to the bar and stood beside G’Trell. he gave her a slight nod. we have much to discus you and I

G'Trell looked at him her eyes narrowing she turned to walk away.

Starfire was careful to hang back, out of the way.

“If you wish to remain in ignorance that is your choice, I force knowledge on one. before you leave would you mind telling Starfire what the appropriate form of dress is require for Dinner this evening. I have excepted Tarlin's invitation and would not wish to offend his Honor.”

G'Trell stopped frozen by his words, Then after the shock wore off she turned and stared at him dumb founded. "What the hell are you talking about? When did you speak to my son?"

“I am surprised he did not tell you. I spoke to him last evening, and left him a gift. maybe you should speak to him.”

"I would if I could find him" She said coldly, "It seems he and I have much to discuss"

Satian attitude change some what when she mentioned that the boy was missing. “Have you watchers with him?”

"yes he managed to give them the slip" she said "He is in no hurry to speak with me it seems." She smirked a bit, "now i know why."

“for the moment then we shall call a truce, we will help you find the child.”

"truce with you." She laughed icily "i would rather rot” She headed for the door again

Starfire chose that time to step up beside Satian. She raised her voice so G'Trell could hear her. "G'Trell, we have served together... I thought we had even come to view each other as friends. I understand your anger, believe me I do, but this is about your son, not you... would you deny our help now?"

"My son is safe I am sure, Its the station I am worried about," She said.

Satian gave a little chuckle, “you haven’t seen the young man lately. i wouldn’t be surprised if where were in a sparing ring teaching one of the humans about honor.”

"i would not be surprised, he lives for combat" she said her voice losing some of its coolness in pride.

Starfire took a step closer to G'Trell "I think we can all agree that he is able to take care of himself. Perhaps we should give him the opportunity to show himself, on his own terms. In the meantime, I do believe there is much we should discuss. Please," She made a motion to her and Satian's previous table "will you at least sit with us?" Her voice had softened at the last statement, trying to impress on the other woman how important it was that they try to salvage what respect they each had for the other. What friendship had been formed.

G'Trell looked at Starfire feeling a pang of pity for the woman to be married to a one half lunatic and one half ruffian. G'Trell likes Starfire, Always had. G'Trell took a breath and swallowed her pride. "Very well Angela I will except."

G'Trell followed them to there table. She tried her hardest not to think of many ways she could kill the man now sitting across from her. "We do have much to discuss. I want my sister off your ship." She said bluntly.

Starfire's eyes widened marginally at that "I do believe that's entirely up to Serina."

G'Trell's face was impassive, "Between that Tucker male and your husband I think she may have a longer life span if she where re-assigned."

“when you become a fleet admiral i my take your crew transfer advice under consideration. until then Lt. your objection is noted and filed. As for Mr. Tucker that is up to Lt. Tucker to decide.”

"He got down graded eh?" G'Trell said. " Serves him right letting that doctor cut my sister up like that."

“I was speaking of your sister, not your brother in law.”

G'Trells jaw almost hit the table. "My what?" She said all malice gone from her voice in her shock.

“You were not informed? she and Trip were married about 2 weeks ago.”

"No my sister did not tell me this when I spoke to her. and before you ask i did not perform the marriage. since she has returned to the Crazy Horse she has fail to disclose much, or twists what happens. it is becoming a ...problem.”

G'Trell shook her head, "I cant believe she married.. "him" of all the crummy humans on that ship! I knew he was trouble the moment I laid eyes on him!" She slammed a fist down on the table like some angry parent, "I wont stand for it! I will knock some since into her."

She looked up at Satian, "I blame him, he is a bad influence on her!"

Satian then turned to Starfire and slowly twisted the dagger. I would think this would be a bad time to mention the child

"Which child?!" G'Trell said her eyes growing dark. "Amberly? has something happen to her?"

Starfire spoke calmly, hoping to calm G'Trell "Serina and Tucker have a baby, a son. Though there are some... complications."

G'Trell slumped back in her chair "i see, so this was a marriage of convenes, he knocked her up and trapped her into it." then the last part of starfires words hit her. "Complications...I don’t understand?"

Starfire took a deep breath, trying to figure out a way to explain the situation. She shot an angry glare at Satian for having opened his mouth in the first place. "Serina really needs to be the one to tell you. It's a very long and complicated story, but in short, the baby never came to term. In fact, he never reached the first trimester. Due to extensive injuries to Serina, he had to be removed from her and placed in stasis, where he resides still."

“when was the last time you spoke to her and what did she tell you.”

G'Trell was extremely confused now. "My sister never mentioned any of this to me...I had no idea." She sighed. "All she told me was that she had information I would be interested in. That was it. I don’t understand why she would keep this from me."

“if not that then what information would she have of interest.” Satian was all business now, his ship could have been compromised

"Wouldn’t you like to know!" G'Trell snapped, "Its a family issue, nothing I care to share with you." Her voice grew cold again. "As for my sister being out of sorts, perhaps it had something to do with you and that brother of yours crawling around in her head that would be enough to drive anyone insane."

It was then it all clicked for Satian, he know where the information came from but he wondered how accurate it was

“So she is where you got the information about a dead house. Did she give you all the information?”

G’Trell’s eyes narrowed, "if you harm my sister anymore then you already have...."

“did she tell you that that house was once allied to my fathers?, did she tell you that 6 of there number decided to have a little fun with a Vulcan half breed female then beat her to death well she was still tied. did she tell you that female was my BABY SISTER
did she tell you that is was me that spared you from the blade because i thought i saw something of her in you? I think not!” Satian wasn’t even aware that he had drew his dagger and was on his feet, “and you dare speak to me of honor!”

G'trell was on her feet too only she drew no weapon her face had lost most of its color. She looked like she would faint. it could not be true but that fire in his eyes burned with honesty. She felt sick and almost fell back in her chair.

"no.." she managed to whisper "she never told me that"
the shame and pain where etched on her face, the fire that one burned in her darks eyes seemed to die. She dropped her eyes unable to meet his.

“I do not blame you for your actions G’Trell, you only acted on what information you were given for a source you trusted. It is your sisters motivations i question.”

"Yes," G'Trell mananged to say. "If it even was my sister." With that said she turnned and headed for the door. SHe stopped half way and turned to look at Satian once more, "I dont think you have all the information nether" she said tossing a house creast back onto the table under his nose. "It was House Roe who took your sister, I remeber that much. SHe told me to run. Her being my instructor I did as told I ran to my house and when my brothers found her it was too late. You killed your own allies. Perhaps this was what the counsil was truley trying to hide. FOr a member of House Roe tryed to kill me two weeks ago on the meHHaj, I did not understand why at first, now I do. The truth would have set your wrath on them. It didnt make sence till now. I never understood why you tryed to kill me after we went to your aide." SHe shook her head. "We have both been their victoms." With that she left hoping this chapter in her life stayed closed.
