Chakram Reborn: Valerie (S2E3)

Chapter 2: Cyane's Fears, A Jail Room Talk and Sydney Decision

"A reincarnate?" Cyane asks. "Who? From your old tribe?"

"No," Sydney says. "Valerie fights with a more vicious style to her. I'm thinking of a future tribe after I was gone."

"Why don't you contact Artemis. She will straight out tell you if this girl is a reincarnate or not." Cyane says.

"She is forming a new Amazon tribe near Italy right now. First, I want to get to know this girl before I ask Artemis, just to make sure." Sydney says.

"How about Xena and Gabrielle?" Cyane asks.

"Right now, they are in Gabrielle's hometown visiting Gabrielle's mom and sister," Sydney says. "The death of Gabrielle's dad took a major toll on her. I don't want to bug them right now."

"That's right," Cyane says, concerned. "How is Gabrielle?"

"She is doing ok," Sydney says. "Her mom and Xena convinced her to talk to a grief counselor. It will take time, but she's coming to terms with her dad's death."

"How long will they be gone?" Crane asks.

"A few months," Sydney says. "They're leaving Shiloh, TX next week and headed to Seattle. From there, who knows."

"Ok. So about the teenager. What are your plans." Cyane says.

"I'm not sure yet," Sydney says. "I am going down to the station tomorrow, and I'm going to talk to this girl."

"About what?" Cyane asks seriously. "She injured our sisters! If I didn't jump in when I did, she would've broken Nixie's neck!"

"As I said before, I want to get to know this girl, scope her out," Sydney says.

Cyane then gives Sydney a look of heartbreak. Sydney sees Cyane's reaction, gets a concerned look on her face, then says, "Cyane! No! It's not like that!" Sydney takes Cyane into her arms and says, "I'm yours, now and forever. I would never, ever hurt you like that. When you came to see me in The Netherlands, I knew you were mine." Sydney kisses Cyane and the head, smiles, and then says, "I love you, Cyane, and only you." They share a tender kiss, and then Sydney smiles at Cyane and says, "Besides, who has my back when it comes to Ares."

Cyane tenderly smiles at Sydney and says, "God of war or not; I can still take him on!"

"Oh, yes, you can!" Sydney says, smiling at her as she takes Cyane in her arms, and says, "Trust me with this Cyane! I know deep down, this girl is a reincarnation of an amazon from ancient times. Who, I don't know. But I want to get to know this girl and look through the books of Artemis. I will contact Artemis, Xena, and Gabrielle when I feel the time is right. Just trust me on this."

Cyane looks at Sydney, smiles, and says, "Ok, I will trust you on this. I don't know about our sisters, though. They want revenge for what she did."

"I know they do, but they will come to terms and accept what I'm going to do," Sydney says. "I know they're pissed, and rightfully so. But if this girl was an amazon from the past, I want to know who she is and help her adjust."

"Ok, you are our leader," Cyane says, smiling. Cyane kisses Sydney and then says, "Let's go and make sure the tribe is ok to get back to their places, and then you and I have some alone time."

Cyane passionately kisses Sydney, and Sydney then says with a smirk on her face, "Sounds like a plan!"

The next day, Sydney and Maria are outside the jail room about to go see Valerie when Maria asks Sydney, "Are you sure about this? I mean, I understand Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer, and you being who you all are; I understand the legends that brought you all back, but do you really think Valerie is a reincarnated amazon from ancient times!?!"
