Prologue: Kal lea ipspo
5099
Karori Dharma threw down the green liquor that Benarsium was so famous for. There was a slow burn on the way to his stomach followed by the small mint flavor of the aphrodisiac that supplied the color. The man he’d been watching was laughing with companions at the other end of the bar. Karori’s blue eyes met his purple ones and there was a wink, followed by a motion towards the side exit. The other man finished off his amber drink and nodded slightly. Karori reapplied his lip gloss and walked across the brown stone floor to the door that led into an alley. Then, he posed in a way to look absolutely fuckable without trying too hard or leaning against the wall which had stains that weren’t all readily identified. A minute or two was all he needed before his quarry came out. The light metal door clanged shut and the other man twisted one of the blue spikes his hair was formed into. It was a wonder Karori recognized him at all. Still, he waited and was rewarded with a kiss just as he was hoping.
“Aspel Fromind, you are under arrest by order of the Time Agency and will be sentenced upon our arrival at headquarters,” he informed, before clicking two link cuffs on him, “Not that you have much say in the matter.”
Karori grinned at the man paralyzed in his arms and hit the preset coordinates on his wrist device. It took two days faster than he had planned and Aspel was supposed to have been a challenge. Still, he wasn’t complaining; this meant two more days for his vacation. It was a long desired vacation that he’d fought hard for. He hadn’t been Time Agent of the Year three years ago for nothing and they had not been happy about letting him go…even if it was only for two weeks.
“TREA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!” cried a familiar voice through the wall as Karori shook off the effects of traveling. His quarry was someone else’s problem now on a distant place and time. He removed his lip gloss on his sleeve and suppressed a laugh before hitting the buzzer.
“Oh, thank the maker!!” said the voice, scurrying towards the door, undoing locks and opening it with a frenzied flourish.
“Vanessa,” he greeted, incredibly amused at the sight before him. Vanessa was not quite so amused as she stood with bedraggled dark hair, stained clothes and bare feet. A small boy slept on the rug to the side while a girl sat in the middle of the room with spare parts surrounding her. Her brown eyes spied him and she ran to the door as fast as her small frame could manage.
“She hasn’t slept for TWO DAYS which means I’ve barely slept for two days,” Vanessa complained as the toddler lifted her arms for him to pick her up, “and she took apart my sub-etheric resonator! Please just take her.”
After being away from her for so long, it was hard not to fight the impulse to pick her up but he couldn’t leave Vanessa upset over nothing.
“Mummy!” the girl pleaded with arms outstretched. He hated refusing her.
“No, first, you’re going to fix the resonator,” Karori said and connected with her thoughts so she knew he meant it. There was a pout and she went back to the mess.
“This is ludicrous!” Vanessa argued, “Boe, she’s just a baby. I’ll have someone from the Agency come and repair it.”
The use of his nickname didn’t deter him as he walked over to watch her work with a parental pride. His daughter placed the pieces back together as though she had done so a hundred times before. Vanessa’s mouth gaped open until she finally found words, “Boe…”
Karori bent down to kiss Trea on the forehead, his fingers trailing in her thick hair that was in need of brushing and whispered, “Kal lea ipspo.”
“Boe…” she tried to start again; her feet rooted to the floor in shock.
“It’ll work,” he promised, picking the girl up as well as stray toys and belongings into a backpack.
“Boe, she’s not normal,” Vanessa choked out, “I know how much you love her, as much as I love Darrenby, but she’s not, what she just did…”
“I was putting those together when I was eight,” the man argued, cutting her off as he picked up a teething ring.
“But that’s eight; she’s only just two and looks more like a one year old. Darrenby barely knows his shapes and she’s fixing sub-etheric resonators?” she questioned, looking at the sleeping boy rather than him, “Maybe…maybe it’s her father’s influence.”
Karori stopped and gave her his worst look, hissing, “No.”
“Boe…”
“Don’t talk about him in front of her,” he snapped and Trea began to whimper, “Shh, it’s alright.”
“She’s going to be asking questions. When Dar starts asking questions, I know what I’m going to say, but what about her?” Vanessa asked, “What will you tell her?”
The mother held his daughter close; his pale skin contrasting against her dark complexion.
“Nothing until she’s old enough. That night was the best sex I have ever had and I’m not ashamed of what resulted from it,” he spoke, Trea yawning, “but she doesn’t need to know that.”
There was a sigh from Vanessa as she held open the door.
“I’m sure Darrenby will be pleased to know his daddy was picked out of a catalog, thanks for watching her and…,” he continued with that grin that he was known for, “and you could always come back to my place to be thanked properly.”
“Good night!” she announced and slammed the door. Karori traveled to his flat where he carefully placed her in her crib. If she had been up for the past two days, then he should have anywhere from two to ten hours before she woke again.
Later, daylight broke and he listened for any telltale clues; particularly the sound of tools. As best as he could recall, she had taken apart and put back together again every piece of machinery he owned…except for the Quantum Crystaliser, but it wasn’t her fault that the crystal slipped from her cute, chubby little fingers. He was a bit pissed when she drew on his psychic paper though. After a stop in the bathroom, he stood over her sleeping form and whispered, “Where shall we go on vacation?”
Karori had to be careful not to connect with her mind or he’d wake her up. The toddler had already discovered that her mind could express in a much clearer form what her mouth struggled to say. A good amount of time passed as he finally came up with an itinerary…had she not slept ten hours…
“Afternoon, sleepyhead,” he greeted as she stood up in the crib and blinked, “We’ll start on our vacation tomorrow. Today, we’ll stay local.”
Her fist briefly tangled in her hair and he laughed, taking her into the bathroom. Freshly dressed and diapered, Trea sat on the vanity in front of the mirror as Karori braided her hair. She handed him the beads she wanted included and he was glad that his rope-making skills could extend to other things. His daughter shook her head so that everything clacked together which made her smile in a very pleased way. Then, they started on their walk.
Not far from the Time Agency headquarters was a small park where Karori and Vanessa would take their children and this is where they ended up after a bit of shopping. His co-worker was already there.
“Darrenby! Act nice!” she screamed at the boy who gave a dirty look but stopped trying to kick dirt all over everything. Karori, on the other hand, had noticed a young woman with stunning green eyes.
“Why hello there,” he remarked with his usual grin, “Would you like to sit with us?”
Her expression was amused as she refused with, “I’m married.”
It wasn’t a moral issue for why Karori didn’t like getting involved with marrieds, but because it often turned out to be very messy. He did not like mess outside work especially when it could affect Trea. The man returned to sit with Vanessa as they both heard a little girl’s voice say, “Why, hello, tare, wood ya like ta w’ me?”
Karori looked to see a grin, on the child’s face, that was large and just like his.
“There’s no question that she’s your daughter, Boe,” said Vanessa, smiling. The girl leaned over and kissed the boy on the mouth.
