Songs POV

I run a hand through my short black and red hair, watching Tyler Jones.

He's speaking to a girl that I recognise as Scarlett Jones.

Soon, I think, we will be reunited.

I check myself in the window next to me.
Short black and red hair, shaved on the sides. I pull a beanie over my hair and my slightly pointed ears, disguising the worst parts of me.
My olive skin is dark in the gloom, contrasted by my eyes that shift from violet to blue and back again.

I touch up my crimson lipstick, and double check my clothes; a tight black singlet tucked into black ripped jeans and boots. You can see the sprawling tattoo on my back, and above it, the Waywalker cabal sigil.

Song.
That's me. Song.

I straighten my shirt and emerge from the shadows.
Screw it, I've been waiting an hour.

"Heya, Tyler Jones, isn't it?" I ask, and I have six disruptor pistols aimed at me.

I raise my hands in surrender.
"Wooooah, there. I'm just here to talk."

"That's what they all say." A short, tattooed one growls.

"Chill. I'm Song. I need to talk to, uh, Tyler, Scarlett, Saedii and Kaliis. Y'all here?"

Two Warbreed Syldrathi, and the two bickering humans come forth.

"We're here. Now what?" The redhead growls. I assume that she's Scarlett.

"I have something to tell y'all." I look to Kaliis and Saedii. "About your mother." And I turn to Tyler and Scarlett "And your father."

"Scandalous." A Betraskan in a full exosuit drawls from nearby. He sits down next to the redhead, gripping her hand tightly.

Another three Terrans sit down next to their friends, one with mismatched eyes leaning against the male Warbreed, the tattooed one next to Tyler, and a cute dark-skinned one next to Saedii.

"Okay." I take in a deep breath.
"I...I'm your sister."

"WHAT?!" Tyler shouts, "How?!?!"

"Your father went behind enemy lined for a year, true or false." I say.

"True." He sighs.

"That's when your mother had us. Triplets." I tell him, pointing to Scarlett and him.

"What does that have to do with us?" Saedii asks, and I see her hand brush against the dark-skinned one.

"Your mother. She served as a medic and a spiritual leader in the war for a year. True or falseee."

"True. But nothing came of it. Granted, she was more exhausted afterwards, but nothing ever happened." Kaliis says.

"You'd be pretty exhausted after birthing triplets, too."

"But I haven't- oh."

"Our mother. She...birthed you three?" Saedii asks.

"Uh huh."

"Then why weren't you raised with us?" Tyler asks.

"Well, I do look kinda...different." I wave to my hair and eyes.
"Don't I? Wouldn't pass for one."

"But you were raised on Terra."

"Wrong. Ares VI." I do a spin, and my tattoo shows.

"Isn't That where all the crims and military kids live?" The Betraskan asks

"Ding ding ding winnerrrrrrrrr!"
I pause, smiling devilishly.
"I hope none of y'all were, uh, screwing because well..."

My joke trails off, and I pray to the lord that they don't realise that I conned them.
