Ty was walking through David's fortress, having returned from his visit with Carolyn. He now had a lot on his mind.
I still can't believe it...ME? A father???
He was just exploring the fortress, mind wandering, not realizing that he wasn't alone...

'SOS please / someone help me / it's not healthy' --Rihanna, SOS
It was pure happenstance that Nadine saw the figure walking down the hallway of the fortress. She didn't recognize him as one of the brotherhood, & therefore, she figured, he was an intruder. & she had ways of dealing with intruders.
So as to avoid being followed or spoken to, Nadine crept along the ceiling beams until she was close enough for him to hear her. Wrapping her knees around one beam, she gracefully flipped upside down & hung there, her short plaid skirt barely covering her gifts. '& what might this be?' she said in a menacing voice which echoed around the entire hall. [/blockquote]

Ty nearly fell over when some chick hanging upside down from the ceiling popped up in front of him. Instictively, Ty morphed, his skin becoming black and leathery. His hair became dead white and he grew horns. Soon, he was fully morphed into the Br'Kragnon, his new favorite battle morph.
He now stood about 11.5 feet tall, somewhat like a mutant turtle, with a spiked shell, standing up right. He let out a roar that no animal on earth could even shake a stick at...
<I don't know who you are, but since you're on the ceiling, you can't belong here...>

When the morph was completed, Nadine chuckled. Of course she belonged here. Smiling, she released her signature scream before dropping to the floor & landing as softly as a cat. Then she morphed in all of about three seconds from beautiful lady to South China Tiger, her battle morph from years ago. Her schoolgirl-like outfit shredded as she morphed, but she didn't notice.
Nadine's morph was tiny, but she was strong. She leapt on the creature & pinned it to the ground, its throat held tight by her claws. <Still think I don't belong here, scum?> she asked menacingly, tightening her grip. [/blockquote]

When she screamed, the massive Br'Kragnon roared in pain, it's super sensitive ears unable to take the horrible sound. Next thing Ty knew, he was on his back, his shell spikes stuck in the floor, and a South China tiger had it's claws around his throat.
Ty laughed inside. There wasn't much that could penetrate a Br'Kragnon's thick leathery skin. He grabbed the tiger by the throat, then a shocking realization hit him.
He nonchalantly tossed the tiger off of him, and rolled to his feet, taking parts of the floor with him. <Na-Nadine? Is that you? It's me, Ty!>

Landing perfectly on all fours as she always did, Nadine spit like a common housecat at being thrown. But the voice made her stop. That voice sounded strangely familiar, like a forgotten sound from her past. <Na-Nadine? Is that you? It's me, Ty!>
The voice alone was enough to freeze Nadine in her tracks, but the fact that it knew her name added even more to her surprise. It couldn't be Ty! She hadn't seen him in twenty years, ever since he had disappeared. There was no way her best friend could be here. <How do you know it's Nadine?> she asked, just in case it was a faker. She needed something that only Ty would know, & if it was truly Ty, he would know what she needed without her saying so. [/blockquote]

<What? You mean besides the scream you let out before you morphed?> Ty asked stepping forth, his Br'Kragnon face sporting what could only be some sort of smile.
<Or maybe I'm wrong, and someone else can scream like that, and also sports Nadine's favorite morph. South China Tiger. I remember the day you acquired it.>
Ty demorphed. "I know it's you. There's no doubt about it...." Ty flashed his signature grin, just in case his explaining wasn't enough. After all, Ty's insane grin was as unique as Nadine's scream.

Those were exactly the answers she wanted, & so slowly, as though subtly showing off her ability to do so, demorphed gracefully, until she was standing in full dress before Ty, her short pink plaid skirt barely laying itself over her rear, her rolled white shirt keeping her chest hidden but showing off her curves. The signature grin met her eyes, & confirmed it even more.
Unable to stop herself, Nadine rushed over & wrapped her arms around Ty's neck in a hug. 'Oh my gosh, I've missed you so much!' Releasing him, she looked him in the eye, smiling, & asked, 'How've you been? Where've you been?' [/blockquote]

Ty watched as she demorphed, and hugged her back when she wrapped her arms around him.
"I missed you, too, Nadine. I've been okay, I guess...Traveled the universe with Guraff for 20 years, then Guraff dies in battle, I come back and find out I have a daughter...."
He forced a smile. "So, how bout you?"

Nadine gasped. 'Congratulations!' she said sincerely. Then she shrugged, the smile never leaving her face. 'Not much really: hooked up with David about fifteen years ago, drank too much, & now I have a daughter as well & have the Ruler of the World for a boyfriend.' She chuckled once. Many people had suspected David & Nadine would hook up eventually, after they had found out about her of course. Bet they never expected it to turn out like this, she thought privately. [/blockquote]

"Congratulations to you too," Ty said, looking around. "So...what do you say we go cause some trouble...for old time's sake? I may be gettin' old, but I still got it!"
He turned to go, "You with me?" He looked at the holes he made in the floor, "David really needs to see about fixing that....."

Nadine giggled, then nodded. 'What do you have in mind?' She was always up to stirring up trouble, especially with Ty. Maybe she hadn't seen him in twenty years, but neither of them had changed that much. Or at least Ty hadn't. She knew she had become a bit of a bad girl over the years, but she loved the fun that had come along with it, & knew she was never going back.
She shrugged. 'Someone'll fix it. Rook or Salheet or whatever their names are.' [/blockquote]

Ty laughed. "When do I ever know?" he asked, his personality the same as it had always been. "Let's just go flyin' or something, and see what happens, just like when we were kids."
He turned and started to walk away, knowing that if she was anything like she was 20 years ago, Nadine wouldn't be too far behind.

Nadine chuckled; she had figured that would be his answer. She followed him down the hallway, bouncing nicely. Flying sounded great.
While she morphed to her red-tailed hawk, she asked, <So how were your, um... travels?' Having morphed very quickly, she was able to use thoughtspeak relatively soon. & she wanted to know all about where Ty had been. [/blockquote]

Ty focused his mind on the eagle, being a much better morpher than he was 20 years ago, but Nadine always seemed to be one step ahead of him in that respect.
<They were fun, I guess,> Ty answered as he took flight. <I mean, I got to travel the universe with Guraff 427, the baddest fighter out there, going from planet to planet, kicking the crap outta them. Me and Guraff had fought several times before 20 years ago, and he always was a heck of a fighter. But...there seemed to be something missing. Sure, I considered Guraff a friend, but it's not the same. I left who knows how many friends to go on a 20 year Adrenaline kick with an formal rival. And after Guraff died, I buried him in that exact spot on Nyoork, exactly how he was: with one dead Nyoork impaled through each eblow....> Ty chuckled at his last statement as he caught a thermal and soared.
