    Raider leans back in her chair as she processed what Nova just told her. "I'm only....1000 years old? Somewhere around there, I lost track around 800." She shrugs her shoulders as if it could matter less to her. She holds her hand out to her sister, needing her presence. "Its clearly been a while since you last saw me. Fill me in to what has happened on your part." Raider takes the Doctor's with her other hand as her eyes flash to her daughter before looming back at Nova.

    Nova shrugged "alot, paradoxs, concentration camps, forced marriages, and me falling into a black hole" she negected to tell a lot and that she might have jumped in that hole to try to die but raider doesn't need to know that side of her.

    Concentration camps? Forced marriages? Black Holes? Wow, Nova sure led one hell of a life. Raider frowned slightly as she spoke. "Have you seem any of my regenerations during all of this? You didn't isolate yourself from me again, did you?" Her hearts felt heavy as she asked, Nova had gone years without seeing her before. Sometimes, her adoptive sister even admits that she purposefully avoided her but she never gave a reason why. No matter how many times Raider asked.

    "Yeah ive seen you, weve just grown apart thats all, we bost grew a to have different goals" she shrugged, she didnt lie this time, but the goals of raider are much darker then they are for this one.

    Raider seemed satisfied with Nova's answer but she didn't like the fact that they eventually grow apart....wonder why. Her gaze moves from each of them, the three, now four, people who she loved the most in the world. But...something's is...different. Her hearts are beating fast, too fast. Raider suddenly leans forward, breathing hard as she looked at her husband. "Doctor, something is wro--" She breaks off as something forces her to lean back, a sharp pain located in her stomach. She looks down at her belly to find dark red blood blossoming from the Detective's bullet should've enter her. It was all to much. Her body had just delivered a baby, it was going into shock. It causing to go unconscious, the last thing is hears before it all goes black was the loud crying of her daughter.

    2 years later
    Nova sits in her basement and looks at one of her hundreds of artworks she has pasted all over the walls. In particular a one of she eyes and people dissovling around them. Ever since raider and the doc settled she stayed with them

    One, two, three sharp knocks come from the door that sat at the top of the stairs that led downwards to Nova's 'room'. Without waiting for an answer, Raider slam the door open, a stern look on her face....just like the one she used when telling her two year old does something she shouldn't. Even though she is so happy whenever she sees the girl, there is also a deep sadness. Because Raider and the Doctor are so....big, their presence is far beyond ignored in the universe and they both have made hundreds, maybe even thousands, of enemies that would do anything to harm them.

    Nova looked towards the stairs as Raider opened the door. she sighed and looked back toward the drawing, " Hello sister, what do you want?"

    Raider just points up the stairs and at the open door. "You. Up. Outside. Now." Just as she finished speaking, the TARDIS sounds throughout the house. The Doctor was usually here, settled in with Raider but he has lived in adventure for too long to sit still for more than a week or so. Plus, it's time to go see their daughter again. Though, she only knows them as Aunt Morgan and Uncle John Smith. To keep her safe, they had to give her to close friends who couldn't have children of their own. "Besides, its time you sent to see...Diana." Raider hesitates when she goes to say her child's name. The couple didn't want to keep the name, they insisted on renaming the girl and Raiser had no choice but to let them. Her name is now Teri Alicia Blake and she doesn't know who she is.

    Nova sighed "fine" Nova got up slowly and grabbed gold goggles and strapped them on "bit im not going outside, ill let her see the monster in the basement but I'm not hurting her by taking these off" Raider has only recently been able to get nova to step out of their room.

    Raider sighs heavily, putting one hand on her hand used the other's index finger and thumb to pinch the bridge of her nose. "Constella, for starters, if anyone in this house is a monster, its me. Also, you need to go outside. I'm not going to let you sulk in my basement for the rest of forever for reasons I don't know." She lowers her hand and looks at her adoptive younger sister. "The Doctor agrees with me on this...Its just like your a teenager again. You wouldn't leave the room for weeks, I always had to drag you out by your hair." Footsteps sound out above them, followed by the Doctor's voice, calling out for her. Raider bites her lip before turning to head out of the basement. She pauses at the top of the stairs. "And I will do it again if I have to." And with that, she leaves to find her husband.

    The Doctor looked up at Raider "hello" he smiled and then looked down at the little girl tugging on his pants. He kneels down "yes? What would you like?" "Home" the doctor cocked his head at this repsone before hearing the whole sentence "you're home" he smirked as he nodded and picked her up "you know she's not going outside, last time she dissloved 15 humans"

    Raider sighs, missing the Doctor quickly on the lips when she reached her daughter and husband. "I know but...I can't just let her rot away in that basement for the rest of her time on Earth. I want her to find a home here, she needs one, a stable place where she can be free. And the Earth won't fully accept her here she she accepts it." She moves her gaze from the Doctor to Diana, or Teri, a smile brightening up her tired face. "Hey there, sweetheart. How have you been?" The baby girl's smile could've fixed anybody's bad day, no matter the problem. Her face was like an book, emotions displayed on her fave like words. And she was beautiful. A perfect mix between her mother and father. Bright, sparkly blue eyes and dark red hair that curled naturally. Diana is also unusually smart for a child of two years, but that didn't worry either of her pair of parents. It was just her Timelord genes at work.

    Nova came up with her goggles on and looked at the three, a small smile on her face "hello doc, how was your trip?" The Doctor chuckled "quite boring actually, no aliens tried to attack me, I just rode the intergaltal train like everyone else, I did see the Juno Supernova, the one I showed you the day we met"

    Raider smiles at Nova as the girl enters the room where her and her family are. It was a small step, getting her out of the basement room, but in Raider's eyes, it was a big accomplishment. She turns and plucks Teri Diana from the Doctor's arms, settling the toddler on her hip. She moves to her sister, explaining her to her little girl. "Okay, Teri, this is your Aunt Nettie. She's finally come out her deep, dark hole to meet you." Teri Diana laughs, clapping her hands at her mother's words. "Aun Nenie! Aun Morgie!" The baby girl reaches out her tiny hands towards Nova, telling her to hold her.

    She laughed at the name Raider gave her then at the little girl "Oh why hello there miss Teri" she bowed a little before picking her up strangely perfectly for a women who never had children. "I used to babysit 100 years ago when I tried living the normal life" she answered the untold question hanging in the air.

    Raider watches in amazement as Nova takes the girl from her arms, settling her against her own hip. Her sister's explanation was something new. Nova hasn't exactly been open to share anything from her past that was still in Raider's future. After learning that they aren't close in the future, she understood why she wanted to live with them for the past two years though. She smiles slightly as she watched Teri laugh as she pulled on Nova's pale blond hair before turning to her husband. She walks over to him, sliding her hand into his. "How long have you been home this time?"

    The Doctor shrugged "Oh I don't know, a week or so I think" He smiled as he watched Teri stare into the goggles and marvel at their shine "No one knows still, about her, I almost want to stop traveling though, because eventually I'm going to anger someone who will find out about her and I won't be here" Nova looked up at him "I'll be here, and I think we both know that I'm a formidable enemy."

    [font=georgia][color=black]Raider uses her free hand to cup the Doctor's cheek. "And I'm here. Besides you and Constella, I'm one of the most feared persons in this universe." She leans in to hug her husband, resting her chin on his shoulder. "I'm just happy she has this chance for a normal life...well as normal as this world can offer."
