Always On Time
Alerron has flow all over Earth in the short time he's been on the planet, but his attentions always return to Coast City and a place in the city that he learned to recognize the first time he followed Lifeforce from high above the world. He was still getting used to all of the blessings afforded him by X'Hal, when he noticed that Lifeforce returned to the same place each day at a specific time. It also surprised him to find Henry there, along with Katima. He wanted to speak with her, but there was a chance of coming across the Naltorian, who also resided with them, and Alerron didn't want that at all.

So, between saving people where he could, he found himself returning to the same spot, high above the world and practiced focusing his vision. The clarity with which he could see from his height still startled and amazed him, and he often followed Katima and her friend's journeys from what he assumed to be their home and another complex each day.

Today, Alerron watched, and listened, as chimes sounded and hundreds of teenagers moved about the complex. It took him little time to establish that this was a school, not unlike his training habitat on Okara. There were daily battles, lessons, and a feeding period.

To better understand Katima's new world, Alerron kept his vision focused upon her throughout the day, spending hours watching her.

No, he did not consider this stalking in any fashion; it was quite the opposite.

He was watching out for an old friend.

Alerron is no longer worried about these fools. He's not letting Katima come back here. He turns to face Katima, looking at her sadly.

"How did they break your spirit, Indigo Woman? You would never have stood for this in the past. Why are you even here?" he asks her, gathering her books for her. Once done, he hands her her bag, then sweeps her up into his arms.

"You are not coming back here." he tells her, and lifts off into the sky, carrying her away from school. He doesn't care about onlookers or the stories that will circulate tomorrow. In fact, he hopes they do.

Alerron despises bullies.

In his arms, she tucks herself against his chest, fighting tears for a moment as she just lets him carry her away to wherever he's going. She'd gladly go with him to the ends of the very universe, though it's unlikely he'd go that far at the moment.

"I have to help keep Henry's cover. It is not the same here as it is elsewhere. Lanterns do not openly show themselves. They have private lives and then they have their duty. So I pretend to be what I am not. I...am still trying to understand what their insults mean. Alerron, is there anything wrong with how I look? They often insult my appearance but I do not understand. I do not understand what is slut and what is whore."

Alerron's eyes blaze with anger as Katima repeats what they've called her. He understands full well what those insults mean, as he's dealt with what Earth beings call "pimps" recently.

"There is nothing wrong with you, Katima, only them. You are not a whore, or slut. They mean to say that you bed any man that comes to you, and that you have no respect for your body. I know these are lies." he tells her.

"And I cannot believe that Henry and the others would allow you to face these torments alone. Perhaps I misjudged him and them after all." Alerron says.

"They don't know. It is a mercy that I give them, that they do not know. I endure alone. It is my nature. You know this, Alerron."

Her pretty face creases with hurt and sadness as he explains what the cruel words mean and she can't help the slight tremble of her lower lip and the shine of tears in her eyes.

"I love with great care and thoughtfulness. Those I choose to give myself to are special...like you. Why would these Earth girls say such things? They are not true!" she exclaims before settling down a bit.

"Where are you taking me right now? I don't want to go back to the house."

"I am taking you to my home." he says simply, holding her closer as he flies faster toward the south. The world becomes a blur as they pass over green lands, then brown, then more green, until Alerron finally descends in what appears to be the ruins of a temple. Katima's ring will tell her that she is South America.

When they land, he sets her down, and begins a fire for her, as the weather here is cloudy and a little colder. He is not in cold, but she might be. He has fashioned a tent and built seats out of rocks around them.

"This is my home, Katima. It is not as...luxurious as Henry's, but I feel safe here. It reminds me much of Okara.

Do not mind the humans who slander you, Katima. I have learned that sex on this planet is a scandalized, though everyone wants it. It is used to make people buy things, yet it is taboo. I do not understand why, however. It is the affirmation and creation of life, and it is perfect.

As are you." he tells her.

"With you it was perfect and holy. I miss that."

Katima walks a bit around in the home he has fashioned for himself and though the ring tells her exactly where they are, she doesn't care and quickly silences it. The warmth of the fire brings a blush to her skin, skin that she has allowed to return to it's true shade of rose and she comes to sit quietly by the flame.

"This is very much like our ruins, Alerron."

She reaches for his hand.

"It is designed that way. I am alone on a world I do not know, far from home. I decided to make something familiar of it while I could." Alerron says, taking her hand and sitting down with her by the fire.

"You were worried for me today when those others came to attack you, Katima. Many things about me have changed since I arrived here; those fools could not have hurt me." he says.

"I did not want them to hurt you, though, which is why I came so quickly." he told her.

"You are stronger than you were on Okara, but that doesn't mean I can't worry over you. You are still my Beloved. Even away from you I have worried, always in the back of my heart.

"How did you know they were going to hurt me, Alerron?"

"I...have been watching you for some time. I followed Lifeforce home one day, and I watched you interact with Henry and the others. I was practicing my with new abilities. I can see your school with clarity from the upper atmosphere when I choose." he says.

"When I saw that you were alone, and they were attacking you...I came as fast as I could."

The Korugaran sat silent for a moment as she considered his words and their tone. They had slipped into languages more comfortable for them than the ill-equipped and clunky English tongue and Katima turned the more thoughtful words over in her head as she kept his hand curled into her own.

"Do you still love me, Alerron Yat?"

Alerron had not expected the question from her; he did not think he would see her again, after Okara. He was supposed to have made his peace with losing her, as he had with losing his parents. In fact, it was Katima who'd set him free of that burden, allowing him to focus on his training.

He sighed deeply, not meeting her eyes for a long moment.

"Yes, I do, Indigo Woman. I have never stopped. But I am clear on where your heart lies, and I do not seek a reunion. I know that Henry cares for you, and I do not seek to interfere in that. If not for a twist of fate, we would not be sitting here now, so I do not entertain the notion that you have waited for me." he tells her, the words tumbling out of his mouth.

"If you think that I have not reserved the deepest portions of my heart and my soul for you then you are not clear on where my heart lies. We were told we would never again meet, but that does not mean you lost any of me if it were I that you still wanted."

I do not seek a reunion.

She released his hand and pulled her knees to her chest.

"It is quiet and beautiful here."

When she let go of his hand, Alerron knew he'd said something wrong. Why didn't he just say he loved her and wanted her to stay with him? Yes, it was what he wanted, but not why he was here. Until he saved his mother, and Tamaran, he was not worthy of her.

"Katima, I...have seen you and Henry together. Not just as friends, but alone. I did not watch your intimate moments, but I know enough to know that I have no place here. I see how you care for him, and I am happy that you found someone to love. My presence here is an accident and nothing more. Once I am able to leave Earth, it is likely you will not see me again. I will have other duties to attend to, and my mother will need my aid." Alerron says.

"In short...we were not meant to be." he says, the words tearing at his heart as he speaks them.

"That is not true. Consider if your presence here is not an accident but is instead...fate. Perhaps the gods have seen fit to give to us a mercy and bring us back to one another. I do care for Henry. Do you truly believe that diminishes my love for you?" She turned her blue eyes to his, not letting him look away from her. "I very nearly ran away from the Indigos the day we were parted."

"You may love us both, Indigo Woman, but you can not love us both at the same time. You gave me the strength to finish my trials on Okara, though each day was difficult without you.

I do not know if this is mercy or fate, but I know that I am happy that you are here." he says, looking into her eyes.

"I think that we both already know ultimately where we belong, Alerron. Of all the planets you could have crashed on it is this one, and in the city I reside in no less. Admit it, Beloved. Admit where the long road leads us."

"Perhaps it is fate, Katima. I found my way back to you, and now you are here. However, I think Henry will worry over you if you are gone over-long." he says.

"It is enough for me to have this time with you, if nothing else."

"There will be more time, Alerron. Have faith. Have faith for us." Katima framed his face in her hands. "He and Avalon are out. We have time yet tonight even if you'll permit me stay."

Katima softly pressed her lips to his and pulled close to him, fitting her small body to his larger one.

"Then I am going to stay awhile. At least through the night."

One part of Alerron told him that this wasn't right, that he shouldn't be indulging childhood fantasies right now...but another part of him remembered how she felt, and smelled, and tasted and he quickly lost the fight to be noble.

He would not stop her if she chose to stay the night.
