As she got the next bottle, set set the glasses back up again.

“You are goine to repay de favor sometime, you know. Take me ‘ome to meet the rest of my future. . . descendants?”

Alita leaned back in her chair for a bit and her warm gaze cooled slightly and grew serious.

“I actually really need to. There’s someone I want you to meet before it’s too late. My Grandmother, Anna, would be your grand daughter and she’s not doing so well. So let me know when you want to go and I will round them up if I have to call on Uncle Kord’s help myself.” she said firmly.

Pausing, she let out a long breath and picked up the glass. Looking down into it, she smiled and drank it down. In her mind the past had already been messed up. The present was pretty well screwed as well. So why not start mucking about with the future?

Bump

“I would like dat very much, ‘Lita.” His look grew wistful as a redness began to form around his eyes. “A gran’daughter. . .de chil’ of de chil’ I never knew I ‘ad. . . .”

Remy took a deep breath and shook himself back to reality. His ever impish grin returned as he said, “Yes, let’s make dis ‘appen. De sooner de better, if she is no’ doine well. I jus’ ‘ope de shock does no’ kill ‘er.”

Alita sobered in that instant. That was something she had truly not thought about.

“Anna was a cyberneticist. She had more than a passing interest in the Borg but nothing suicidal. She, and my grandfather, and a set of 12 year old twin uncles I will never meet, were coming back to Earth when the shuttle the twins and my grandfather were in was caught up in a huge Borg attack.”

Alita paused and poured another drink.

Remy took the bottle and refilled his glass only halfway this time. He replaced the cork and set the bottle aside. Alita was putting the shots down quite easily by now and he didn’t want her to regret what she might be feeling tomorrow morning.

“Anna’s shuttle popped out of warp just in time to witness it all. I don’t know how she and the others got away but she’s never been the same. Unfortunately she refuses to stay in one place so we have hired a very strong Betaziod telepath to be her companion. It works most of the time.” she finished quietly.

“Mon dieu,” he replied soberly. “Dat ‘ad to be a very traumatic experience. I ‘ave seen friends, shipmates, and colleagues killed in de line of duty, but being ‘elpless . . . I canno’ imagine it.”

He shook his head and downed his last shot. “Per’aps, it might be better to no’ introduce me as ‘er grandfather, but as a friend of yours. I would no’ want to cause her any more stress or confu-SION.”
