Evolution from the ashes of extinction

Underwater Super Highway

They traveled for a few hours until they reached the current. Pure and Alisha was in their bunker they chose, making sure everything in his bag can hold, the rest of the gang was elsewhere making sure everything was ok.

Horatio (over speaker): Ok everyone here we go!

The sub rattled for a bit and then got pulled heavily into the current and they were on their way. Pure and Alisha got a little tossed around. Pure landed in the bed with Alisha on top of him.

Pure: You ok?

Alisha: I'm fine, pure where is your hand?

Pure finds his hands on Alisha's breast and then takes it off fast.

Pure: I'm sorry!!-His face turns red-

Alisha: its ok –giggles-, so I want to get to know you better since you and I are friends now.

Alisha lies down on top of pure with her arms crossed over his chest and holding him down.

Pure: You know I can move you easily right?

Alisha: I know but I thought it would be more comfortable this way.

Pure: -crosses his hands over Alisha's back and pulling her down. - So what would you like to know?

Alisha: Start from the beginning.

Pure: I lived in the Caribbean, with a big family and I mean big. They were more of the outdoor person, I was an inside person; playing games, reading comics that kind of stuff, but I was very skilled in machines and science and well you saw what my designs did.

Alisha: Yeah a lot.

Pure: Well I drew all of the prototypes first but never really did build them except for that backpack of course but no one really cared for me except friends and a few of my family who kept me going all of those years. Then they slowly died off one by one, making it harder and harder for me since it felt like I was a slave to them and things didn't get any better.

Alisha: Hasn't your government tried to help?

Pure: They tried... they gave me an apartment to live in since their hands were tied with a lot of things... I don't know what, but they gave me some job attachments to lessen the pain since I was that smart and they knew I was the future to turn the country around and become one of the greatest.

Alisha: I guess they missed you since you disappeared that day.... Huh?

Pure: Absolutely, my family must have given them a good excuse for the government not to check up on me all those years and prosper on what I have been building those years ago, now to this monstrosity that they call a company, which I'm going to destroy.

Alisha: then I will help you and set what is right.

Pure: now enough about me –flips over and has Alisha pinned down this time with him on top- I share my story, now it's your turn.

Alisha: Fair enough, you already saw the reports though.

Pure: True, but I want to know how it was for you, but start at the beginning same as me.

Alisha: Well, we were any normal family a father a mother and his two kids a decent home. My mom had a job, father stayed home and had good friends and family, but that all changed when a massive carpet bombing happened in the neighborhood and everything was flattened and an army came and wiped out any survivors but I hid well and not get detected. Few hours later the US military found me and took me in. Then I made a choice; to help win this war and any war that came to this country. I asked some of the military men to see if any of my family was left, they helped me but only one was left, it was a military person and they brought him in for me, but I wanted to stay and help. He even saw the seriousness in my eyes.

Pure: The Captain.

Alisha: His name was Price and he allowed me to be on the base. He taught me everything I know and enrolled me in the military, it was tough but the thought of revenge kept me going and got me top honors in their school. I could have been assigned to special ops or black ops but I wanted to stay with Price, in which they agreed since that they didn't want to break up the family since he and I were the only ones left so I got assigned to his team and we became partners watching each other's back.

Pure: Until the UDI split you two up.

Alisha: I was tracking who killed all of my friends and family and found out all of that tech came from the UDI. It took me years to follow the trail back to them; it went cold a few times but I never gave up and found more leads until I found your name on the original documents.

Pure: That's kind of hitting me with irony, but I wasn't a part of all that.

Alisha: I know... until you told me your side of the story and then it made sense to me that your family was the one behind the attacks and I wanted to let them get what they deserve.

Pure: Haven't you gone to your officers about this, or even the white house?

Alisha: Tried that too, but their lawyers got in the way and dismissed everything, it was one of the reasons the peace treaty was signed so that no more conflict could happen, but they whispered in my ear to keep digging and find concrete evidence. My clearance went above and beyond and I was to only report to the president about it.

Pure: And why didn't you?

Alisha: like I said concrete evidence, but its sitting right on top of me right now.

Pure: -laughs a little bit- So what now?

Alisha: End this fight once and for all and bring peace to this world, which is in short supply at the moment.

Pure: Same here.

Alisha: I know this might sound embarrassing but...

Pure: ......

Alisha: Can I explore your body to see what they did to you, because I want to see and feel your pain.

Pure: Just this once but...

Alisha: ......

Pure: I want to explore yours too, after coming through all that I know that you have some pain of your own as well.

Alisha: Down to underwear only, I don't want to get that close to each other and get on the wrong idea.

Pure: No complaints here.

They stood up, took their clothes off and explored each other. He had his own pain on his body but she had her own with land mine scars, bullet wounds, shrapnel under her skin, some other heavy injuries but the worst one is that a bullet had passed one inch beside her heart, nearly killing her but she survived it, despite the odds of someone surviving that.

Pure: How many medals you have?

Alisha: Over thirty, along with some gold stars, silver medals and other stuff.

Pure: Wow, you are a decorated war hero.

Alisha: Your pain seems the same as mine as well; tissue scars, fragments of bombs even where your nuclear reactor is, I can feel your pain.

Pure: -Picks Alisha up- Seems like we are alike more than we thought.

Alisha: -puts her legs across his back and puts her hands on his shoulder- very much so.

Pure: You know this is not how friends get along though.

Alisha: I know, but I want this to be a special bond for both of us.

Pure: you are one naughty friend.

Alisha: -giggles- I know.

Both of their foreheads touched each other as they knew they could never be the same as everyone else but as family to each other from all the torture and hardships they had and it brought them together to never be separated from each other.

Pure: I'm guessing you want to sleep next to me in my tails again.

Alisha: You know me too well already.

They both went to bed wrapped up in Pure's tails and with smiles on their faces as they fell to sleep. Knowing that they found someone like them to share their pain.
