"With Sasha deep in Intelligence, and the others all off on their own tasks, there is not much to do. This is not going to be finished in a matter of weeks." she sighed as she cleaned up.

Thinking about the situation, Mattias said, "We could always see what fun there is to have down on the planet?"

"hmm humidity and mosquitos the size of earth" she grumbled as she finished up. "Why did someone build a trading post on such a world."

Shrugging, he responded. "So only the most sophisticated of clientele would shop there?" He had a look of mischief in his eyes, thinking of the weapons that could be found down below. Among other things. A nice outfit or two for Phoenix, the kind that wouldn't meant to stay on very long.

Stepping back out to face him, Phoenix smiled. "Hmmm what is that look for Lover?"

Sighing softly, he replied. "Ohhhh, just thinking about what kind of toys are available down there, that and certain kinds of apparel for you." He had a very satisfied grin on his face as he finished speaking.

Lily walked over to him and bent down and kissed him gently. "Hmmm you know that I will wear things only for you." she whispered.

Smiling after they kissed, he asked. "Is there anything special you'd like me to do, Phee? I mean, you do so much for me, it doesn't seem fair to you."

"You do a lot for me too Mattias. I am fine with what we do and what we have done over the years." she nipped at his lip and straightened up. "If you want to go planetside, we will take the shuttle down."

Taking in a content breath, he looked up at her and asked, "What did I do to deserve a woman as wonderful as you?"

"By being you." She smiled. And held out a hand.

Reaching out, he took her hand. As they made their way out of the Black Watch and to her shuttle, he whispered to her, "Ya know, when we get down there, maybe we should act as Master and Slave, only this time, you be the Master."

She laughed and opened the hatch to the shuttle. "Hmm. I like being your slave though" she whispered back.

Grabbing a hold of her ass and goosing her inside the shuttle, he chuckled. Tgen, after he closed the hatch and moved to sit in the seat next to her, he countered. "That nay be true, my love. However, if a trader tries to offer me a tremendous deal for you...." He left off the end, waiting fir her reply.

"I can beat any offer they make darling and you know it" she gloated softly. She slid into the pilots seat.

This made Mattias laugh out loud. "This is true, your highness. Okay, soooo....how should we play it down there? Two Starfleet captains, undercover as smugglers? A sadistic husband and wife assassin team? Whatcha got for me?"

"hmm I was thinking, Smugglers, no fed ties." She replied as she brought the shuttle to full power for take off.

Nodding, he quickly moved his hands to the controls, saying, rather tongue in cheek, "Okay now......hmmmm...were are the emergency restraint controls and the artificial gravity controls?"

"Hey!" She laughed. "That accident was YOUR fault. You turned off the artificial gravity."

"Did I say anything?" He tried to look innocent, but knew he was failing badly.

She narrowed her silver blue eyes at him. "I was stuck on Delta shift for 6 months because of that accident, and not once did i bitch or throw you under the bus. So do not act all innocent on me Mr Richardson."

Acting chastened, he looked over with innocent eyes. "Love me, I'm so cute, and am quite proficient at making your toes curl?

Phoenix laughed at that. "Very proficient... I guess I can let it pass.

Mattias grinned broadly. Then, reaching over, gently caressed her right thigh, his fingers getting very close. "Perhaps I'll pay back some of my debt when we get back to your room?"

"Hmm I'd like that." She smiled. "I think if you told me we could never leave our room, except for food, I'd be ok with it...for the most part."

"The minor part being your babies?" He figured that was what she would say. It would be for him, if their places were reversed.

She nodded. "Yeah" she took a breath. "I know children can cramp things."

Mattias was quiet for a few moments, then he spoke up, a serious tone in his voice. "Phee...you know that, even if we never get married...I will love and protect your babies, as if they were mine."

"i know. I have known that for a while" She smiled.

"And, perhaps," he continued, speaking as if he was afraid to ask, "should we ever get married, and you have the desire to....." he was having a very difficult time finidhing the sentence. "Never mind, I'm-I'm sorry I even brought it up. Please, forget I said anything." He looked out the view port on his side of the shuttle, silently cursing himself for thinking he had any right to have children of his own again. He failed to protect his son, afterall.

She put the shuttle on autopilot and slid from the seat to touch his face. "One day, I will be ready to accept that offer, and we will, look at our own children."

An intense feeling of adoration and love fell over Mattias as he looked into those beautiful eyes. He could see nothing but hope, love and honesty in them. Reaching down, he pulled her up into his lap and began kissing and hugging her, some part of him still worried that she was way too good to be real. And way too good for him.

Phoenix snuggled into his lap and held him close. "One day" she breathed in his ear, "you and I.. we will banish the bad memories"

Mattias held onto Phoenix for several long minutes. While he knew that he would never forget Saundra or his little Charlie, what this wonderful woman was offering him, was a gift that he would never able to repay.

A Family.

Finally, he started to loosen his hold some. "I'm sorry that I'm such a mess, Phee."

"You think you are a mess, you haven't seen me at my worst. I have had a lot of bad times believe me." she kissed him gently. "Romulan Prisons , Mirror Universe and torture. Its been a trip."

He looked into her beautiful silver-blue eyes, and chuckled softly. "We're a pair and a half, aren't we?"

Smiling and kissing him again, she slid from his lap. "Yes we are. Now let me land this shuttle and we can go exploring"

Nodding slowly, he released he hold on Phoenix, so that she could return to her seat. "I'll get stronger." He said aloud, though whether it was to convibxe Phoenix or himself, remained to be seen.

She glanced at him and smiled. "You know I think you are the strongest person I know, right Matt?"

Looking over at Phoenix, he replied. "And you're the strongest I know, Phee." He gave her a confident smile as he finished speaking.

She blew him a kiss and landed the shuttle in one of the many clearings around what used to be a city. It was now ruins, converted into an open air market-supply station for smugglers.

Mattias closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Then, a scowl formed on jis face and he spoke in a southern drawl. 'Well, darlin', Ahm all set. Shall we go on out and mingle?"

She mimicked his drawl right back at him "loosen up sugar, we will be fine" She stood and picked her phaser up and holstered it.

That cracked his dour facade. 'Fuck you." He said playfully as he giggled. Then, after a few beats, he regained his game face. He opened the hatch and motioned fro her to go first. Once she passed him, Mattias smacked her left ass cheek, playfully but hard all the same. "And you'll get more like that if you keep sassing off, your highness."

"Promises, promises" she snarked and waited for him to seal the hatch.

Stepping out after, he turned back to the shuttle and activated the controls to both close and seal the hatch.
That done, he turned back and grunted at her. "Lead on, princess."

Sending him a smirk over her shoulder she led the way through the under growth towards the tumbled down stones that had once been a wall encircling the city that was.

Smiling inside, Mattias couldn't help but glance down at her ass as she moved infront of him. A small growl vibrated in his throat as they continued to move. Once they passed the ancient outer walls, he spoke up. "Wonder how long these ruins have been here."

"Centuries apparently. " she stepped around a half grown bush and paused to gain her bearings. "Though I wish they had cleared the area better."

"What? And lose the ambiance of a roughneck wannabe marketplace?" He chuckled darkly, aware that they were probably already being watched.

"Sure all the better to break ones neck" Phoenix muttered and dropped back to walk beside him.

As soon as she moved next to him, he discreetly signalled to her that they were no alone. He had caught sight of their tail a few paces back. Whomever it was, was trying to be quiet, but was still quite sloppy.

Pretending to examine the architecture Phoenix paused and then said " i hear the bar here is good."

"Better be," Mattias grumbled. "Making buyers march through this heat and humidity." He paused briefly. "Be right back. I gotta take a leak." He then moved off to the left before Phoenix could say anything. In seconds, he had vanished into the bush.

Sighing she found a rock and sat down.

For a few moments, the jungle around her chittered away. Suddenly, a high-pitched male voice spoke behind her. "Well now, girly. Your boyfriend leave you all alone out here in the jungle? Kinda dangerous that. You never know what wild animals might be stalking you."

"Yeah one never knows." Phoenix muttered and calmly stood and unholstered her phaser and turned. "I am not someone you should sneak up on."

The Tellerite didn't seem phased by the phaser being pointed at his head. In fact, his smile of filthy teeth got bigger. "Now, now, now. A pretty young thing such as yourself shouldn't dirty those delicioys looking fingers on such an item. You come with Tokarg, he will show you how to properly use them."

"I'll pass, my lover will be back soon and he hates beings who encroach on his territory. " Phoenix was not scared. In fact her hand and arm were rock solid.

"Oh, don't worry about your partner, pretty thing," Tokarg chuckled an evil laugh. "Moograh will be finishing with hom right about now.

Phoenix merely raised an eyebrow. "We shall see."

The bushes behind Tokarg rustled. The Tellerite's grin got bigger. "You see pretty thing? Now you come with Tokarg."

A familiar Starfleet Marine Corps ka-bar, slick with lavender blood, suddenly slid around under Tokarg's chin and then pressed against the filthy Tellerite's throat, causeing him to blanch immediately in fear.

"Dearest," Mattias said, in an annoyed voice. "How many times must I tell you to not flirt with the local wildlife. Didn't you tell him how jealous I can get?" The annoyed tone turned angry as he pressed the blade a bit closer.

"I told him. He didn't listen very well." Phoenix yawned. "Quit playing Darling, I came here to show, just kill him and be done with it. "

"Wait!! Please!!" Tokarg pleaded, as he also soiled himself. "You came to trade, yes?! Tokarg can take you, guide you! No harm would have come of you! It was just my job! See who come in!"

Mattias looked at Phoenix. "Dearest, this thing is really starting to bore me. Oh! I have a wonderful idea! Um, creature, do you wish to live?"

Tokarg started to nod, then remembered the very sharp blade at his throat. "Yes! YES! Very much yes!!"

"Then, empty everything from your pockets onto the ground." He started to step around in front, next to Phoenix. He pulled his left blaster out and aimed it at where the Tellerite's genitals would be located. "Be quick now."

Without hesitation Tokarg dumped what few pitiful items were in his pocket, then waited.

"Now, turn around and run far, far away. And rememver this well. If either of us ever see, or even smell you again, you will die very, very slowly. Do you understand?"

Tokarg nodded emphatically. Then stayed standing there.

"Dearest, was I speaking in a foreign tongue? The thing did nod that it understood me, yes?"

Smirking she fired her phaser at the beings feet sending him squealing and running away. "That better Baby?"
