Ooc: well going to start making it possible for things to happen.
Visla sits in his office as Cole walks
Visla: I'm assuming your men are ready to begin what we planned on.
Cole: of course sir. We are ready to cripple SHIELD so it won't be able to get in our way or stop any plans we may have.
Visla: very good director. Have your men on standby and ad soon as I give the word I want them ready. Piett is getting his men ready while the newly promoted general Strauss is seeing to ground operations. But nothing will happen unless we can deal with shield.
Cole: once you give the word they will be down and blind withing an hour.
Visla: very good director.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Tara M: So let me get this straight you ran from people who want you dead to get help from a person who wants you dead? *Continues holding Tara back but is tempted to let her go.*
Samana: Do you know how many times she's had me at her mercy and just not finished the job? Four times. I've counted. Four out of four.
Yularen stands on the bridge of his ship as he watch s the fleet deployment as well. He knows something is going to happen and soon. He doesn't like not knowing.
Yularen:anything yet ensign
Ensign:no sir nothing new yet anyway.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Samana: Actually, I figured you'd hold her back long enough for her to realise that she's 'not a killer' as her boy toy constantly tells her.
Oh, we had so much fun when I gave him a hand...
Tara *fury*: YOU LYING B****!!!
*She tries to break free again, this time looking like she'll rip Samana apart.*
Tara M: Why that's a brilliant strategy antagonize the person who already wants to kill you. You say one more thing I don't like and I'm going to stop holding her back.

Samana: Alright, Tara, think about it like this; what have I done that makes killing me more important to you than what I can tell you - to say nothing of P-Sec - about the Hand and the Syndicate?
Tara *hatred*: Do you want the list in alphabetical or chronological order?
Samana: Alright, Tara, think about it like this; what have I done that makes killing me more important to you than what I can tell you - to say nothing of P-Sec - about the Hand and the Syndicate?
Tara *hatred*: Do you want the list in alphabetical or chronological order?
Tara M: Okay I'm curious Samana what exactly did you do?
Tara: We were living together... He was the only person I'd ever loved like that... I woke up one morning and she and her thugs were beating him to try and get him to tell them where I was. I hid at the top of the stairs and when he kept quiet, she--
*She shuts her eyes.*
She put a disruptor to his face and shot him...!
Samana: You could have saved him if you had come out. Just goes to show how much you really loved him, huh?
*Tara's muscles tense up again and she looks like she might start trying to beat Samana into a smear of green blood over the cargo bay.*

Tara M: Sorry Samana but if she wants to hurt you I'm in no position to stop her.
Tara M: Well I guess we're done here. *Follows Tara*
*Tara goes straight to a punching bag and starts beating on it - bare-knuckled - with comboes of furious hooks, middle kicks, straight kicks and spin kicks.*

Ruben: Well last night after Tara asked about her Dad I asked about it too even though I saw that it was a touchy subject and I'm sorry.
Tara: It's a secret syndicate which has its hands in just about everything from cloning to small-time gangs. You don't wanna get involved with them, from what I've heard.
*She teaches Tara M how to deflect punches and kicks with her guard.*
Okay, onto countering.
*She gets into a loose stance.*
Punch me. Don't pull it, just throw it.
*Tara's Quarters. Sam lets out a sigh.*
Sam: It's okay, Ruben. It's not your fault.
James was a really close friend. He died on Angel Halo. Hell, he's the one who destroyed it during the GCW. I'd have died too if he didn't beam me out...
A few years later, I learned that... he loved me...
I never even new, never thought...
I felt like I was part of the reason he's gone - that if I hadn't fell for Matt instead things might have been different - Miranda wouldn't have died... Terry and Lexi wouldn't have grown up without their real parents...
It's just that the alternate Taras are a reminder of what might have happened. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret falling in love with Matt, and I can't see how me and James would have worked, but...
I was there when Tara Allen lost her father. I took her and his body back to their reality.
I feel responsible for her. I'm the only family she has left.

*Tara deflects the punch and catches Tara M's wrist, twisting her into a rear armbar, bet down so she's facing the floor, being careful not to actually hurt Tara M but lettig her feel the strain before letting go.*

And if you so much as look at Luke funny... you will regret it for the rest of very short life!
