It took only a couple minutes for James to arrive with the agent and smiled as he gestured to him. "Now don't fight... you two are adults." he said with a chuckle and went over to Alice. Meanwhile -- "Alright she's coming... just... if this ends in me sleeping on the couch, I am making your life a living hell." Clint said as he crossed his arms. "What? Make me sleep in the cell longer?" Kalia deadpanned. "I can either be like my mother and drown my sorrows or move on and do something about it. I want to make peace with all this and help her to make peace." "If you say so." Clint sighed. |

Slipping on her shoes she looked Agent Zimmerman over. He was well built and if it came to it she had no doubt he could hold his own in a fight. She smiled at the man as she finished slipped on her shoes. “I need to head up the El Dorado.” Selene told him matter of fact. “I’m expected.” |

"Wherever you need to go ma'am." he said with a nod of his head and spoke into his wrist comm. "Two to beam to TAS El Dorado." "Agent Lenara Cross?" a voice replied "Yep. She's expected." Zimmerman replied "Confirmed. Transporting now." the ops officer replied and in an instant the two were beamed to the detention cell deck of the TAS El Dorado where Clint was leaning against the wall waiting. "Hey... I told her 'no'..." Clint said with a sigh. "I'll make it up to you tonight." "DD Cross." Zimmerman said with a salute. "Agent." Clint nodded his head and smiled slightly. "James recommended you huh? Told you that kid was smart." |

"Let's just get it over with." Selene said a bit coldly. She didn’t want to see or talk to Lei and honestly she couldn’t figure out why she had decided to come. Deep down perhaps she was looking for the punishment and hatred she always seemed to escape. Maybe it was the Lei’s ‘attack’ on the Alliance that had done it. She didn’t want what she did to reflect on them. They had nothing to do with it she did and maybe just maybe it would bring her some kind of closer. Edited by Selene Cross, Jul 19 2016, 09:16 PM.

Kalia had put her leg back on and limped over to the large transparent window of the security field. "Glad you finally came." she said with a smile and crossed her arms. "You know I came here to help you guys out, the least you could do is TRY and be somewhat friendly." she shook her head. "Sorry sorry... being a bit of a bitch. This leg sucks and I'm on my period. Listen... I want to find those two as much as you do, maybe you want them more than I do... they did play with your head like I used to play with dolls. So let me say this... I forgive you Selene Cross. You were not in your right mind and I can't imagine what they put you through." she looked her in the eyes. "But you so totally fucking owe me. I forgive you, but you owe me. I never felt pain like what you put me through ever in my life and I had my leg sheared off in an accident and I thought THAT was the worst pain I ever experienced." Clint looked between the two women and just kept a hand on Selene's back. Ready to back her up at a moment's notice. "But... I will help you if you can at least tell me and your husband and whoever else is on this case... what you know about Omega Base. You were on it, you were around them. You have to know something." Kalia said and crossed her arms. "You open up I'll... maybe give the Alliance a few Imperium secrets to keep yourselves out of harm's way and I'll be part of the hunting party. You don't have to do shit, but confirm things." |

“I don’t know anything.” Selene informed her. It took everything she had not to turn and walk back out. This was a bad idea even if Lei said she forgave her she didn’t deserve it. |

"Then is anyone else alive who may know? That thing has given the Imperium the cold sweats for years. For all anyone knows it's parked out there right now watching us." Kalia said as she crossed her arms tight across her chest. "He may be my... brother... but he scares the shit out of me. The way he... he... " she closed her eyes and shook. "The cruelty he projected, the fear he put into all of us... the way he and K'n'zy just... made people die without even touching them. You took the White House without even firing a single shot! I wake up at night screaming sometimes." Kalia took a few cleansing breaths and finally looked at Selene. "I want him stopped, we need him stopped. How many more lives is he going to shatter before he's finally put down?" |

“You have no idea what either of them are capable of.” Selene informed her a bit harsher then she intended. “The only other person they would have trusted was Wilson Kotay and he’s dead. So no there isn’t anyone else.” |

"I have a really hard time believing that no one else knows about his base, the damn thing can be anywhere in an instant." Kalia said and looked Selene in the eyes. "You were their slave basically and you know nothing? Shit, half our slaves know enough about things, hence why we kept the few that we still had very close. There are some nasty things that could happen if Jackson strikes again. It could destabilize everything we're both working toward." she sighed heavily. "If I was a threat to you and the Alliance I wouldn't be telling you this... but... all the strikes your people did, both the Alliance and what you and Jackson and K'n'zy did... they really hampered our ability to defend ourselves. Which is good and bad, bad because someone stronger than us could theoretically take Earth, but our satellite worlds are slowly surpassing it in terms of security and strength. Hell my Aunt Arisu is still at large, been at large for a year and we haven't tracked her down and we've been looking." she shook her head. "And how much do you want to bet that IF something happens, I'll be the first one laying dead on the floor? Hell you used me to strike fear into her. What do you think would happen if you weren't sending a message?" |

Did she know something about Omega? The chances were high that she did. She spent a lot of time with Jackson and K’n’zy in the bed and out of it. The issue was she didn’t want to think about it. Couldn’t think about it not when she’d worked so hard to at least get passed it enough to get up in the morning. She was afraid if she looked back the urges she had for them would return and she’d get lost again. “I would have killed you.” Selene said coldly. “I told you I don’t know anything.” |

"All due respect, I do not believe that." Kalia said and shook her head. "I know you are hurting but this is too important. There had to be something, some emission, some signal they used, some... way that you knew how to find it. Surely you must have heard or seen something." |

"I'm sorry they were a little to busy fucking me to explain how their ship worked." Selene blurted out, her hand trembling. She didn't readily recall anything but she had a desired to go back. How would she have done that without knowing where they were?

"All the time?" Kalia said and flopped down on the cot and looked at them. "Assuming they did... you spent nearly six months with them and you knew virtually nothing about the place you spent all your downtime? Then it's clear that I need to get out of this damn cell and get to work on finding anyone ELSE that could possibly know. What about Carly? She was on that base before your people took her wasn't she? That's the whole reason you got into that mess to begin with." |

“You go near Carly and I will kill you.” Selene threatened as she took a step towards Kalia’s cell. |

Kalia stood up and leaned into the force field. "What don't you like about me Selene? The fact that I'm the Empress's daughter or the fact that I am still alive and not one of the hundreds dead because of what they made you do?" she raised an eyebrow at her. "Or because I'm asking questions everyone ELSE should have been asking but haven't because you're the 'Great Black Widow' who's shit doesn't stink and who somehow is allowed to get a second or third chance whereas I... whose only sin was being born with the last name 'Lei'? Look at my record, even my worst interrogation only ended in a few bruises and hurt egos. Ask Ethan Talon. I am not your enemy. I flushed my Imperium career down the toilet because I could either wallow in fear and self pity or I could do something. Suck it up, go to you people who seem to be pretty damn capable in every other way." she maintained eye contact with her. "I came to be useful. So... use me. But ask yourself this... what vital tidbits of knowledge are you denying because of things surrounding it are too painful. At least you're alive to feel the pain and you have him." she pointed to Clint. "Not everyone has someone like him in our corner. I sure as hell don't. Must be nice." |
