Mission: Into the mirror
Location: MIRROR UNIVERSE
Timeline: Present

On:

(Underground city on Trillius Prime. Mirror universe)

Sandman looked around puzzled at the huge underground city. “Why haven’t we been greeted?”

Mira started to walk, “Because they are assessing us. Deciding weaknesses, and the best way to manipulate the situation. I don’t trust them anymore than they trust us.” She told him confidently as she walked. This was the first time since she had been around so many of her own people. She frowned then corrected herself. These were Mirror universe Trills, not her people. Her people were members of her crew, her teammates and family. She slowed her steps to match up with Awal.

“This could get bad, quickly.” She whispered. There was far more people here than she had planned for.

What she had planned for was the underground headquarters of the Assassin’s Guild, not a whole city with elderly and children. Glancing down at her PADD, she turned right. It was a beautiful garden area. Like something people would use for a large gathering for a partying. It had low cushioned benches that looked inviting and comfortable. Low tables full of food and drinks and a playpen. It was what was sitting in the playpen that held Mira’s attention. Her breath caught and she stopped walking Her eyes darting around, taking everything in quickly before she moved forward to pick up her son. She didn’t want to scare Jason. He was much younger the last time they had seen each other and she figured he didn’t know her from any other Trill here.

K’ner deployed her team as they left the lift mechanism, letting them mingle on the way to the meeting point while she flanked the Captain, opposite Awal. She was watching the data stream down her HUD as Mira reached for her child.

He was a little startled to be picked up and hugged. His little body tensed as if he was waiting to be hurt or punished. “hi sweetheart, mama has you now.” Mira whispered to him.

Jason blinked up at the woman who had picked him up. She had eyes and hair just like his. Holding him to her, Mira looked around. She wanted to just run back to the ship with him and get the hell out of this universe before she lost him again or anyone else.

She just breathed, looking until her eyes met Angel’s. The woman clapped “Ah! Welcome home sister!”

Mira raised an eyebrow, she wasn’t home, and they weren’t sisters. She let herself take everything in around them, then she smiled.

“This place is amazing.” That wasn’t a lie, the underground city was amazing and she had no idea how long it took to build.

Angel smiled. “It is, how long since you have been home?”

Mira answered that question carefully, because this Trillius Prime wasn’t her home “I was 15 years old the last time I saw the purple ocean of my home world.” There, that was completely true.

Angel frowned “That is far too long.”

Mira shrugged, “I left and never looked back.” She cuddled Jason closer to her as she felt his body relax.

Angel seemed to think that over then clapped her hands. “Entertainment! Let the party begin.”

Mira’s eyes met K’ner and gave a tiny nod. She knew her doctor would be scanning the food for drugs and poison. They could never let their guard down.

K’ner’s answering nod indicated no obvious threats so far… but Mira had known the Haz Team leader long enough to see past her otherwise calm exterior, enough to tell she was a tightly-wound spring, ready to release.

Her HUD was awash with more Dots than usual, but she’d lived with it for so long, it was just part of her daily view. Her teammates would step in where they thought advantageous so she kept her attention on their host, and the child… and her HUD…


Angel took a seat that gave her a view of the whole garden. Mira’s eyes narrowed slightly then smoothed her face to a passive, calm expression. The entertainment was Orion dancers. As far as Mira was concerned, that wasn’t entertainment. She whispered to Jason as she sat down with a large stalagmite to her back. She tucked one of her boots under her while she waited.

Angel turned to look at her then frowned, “Are Orions not to your liking?”
Pressing her lips together, Mira gave a little shrug. Of all of the races, Orions were just pure trouble. She still hadn’t found out why they had taken a group of them when she had been assigned to Starbase 10.

“After being kidnapped, they aren’t anything I want to be around.” Mira’s voice wasn’t raised to be heard over the music, so Angel had to strain to hear her. She waved her hand and within a few moments the music lowered.

“Yes, I heard about that. You mated a Klingon male that saved you. Is that the reason you mated him?” Angel asked.

Mira smiled. “Kolar Rasmehlier was an impressive male.”

“He wasn’t as impressive here.” Angel told her. “Then you end up married to the doppelganger of the Emperor.” She laughed. At Mira’s little shrug. Angel smiled as she waved to the boy in her arms. “And had a baby with him.”

Sandman laughed. “Three with spots and one Klingon.”

Angel raised an eyebrow. “You had a Klingon baby, too?”

“No the 3 are mine, the Klingon girl is adopted. She is fitting in well.” Mira told her, wishing Sandman hadn’t brought that up. “How did you manage to get to Jason?”

Angel smiled. “I had a spy on the ship he was being held on. My spy brought him back.”

Mira nodded she was sure that doing so had messed up plans. “and the payment for this help?” she asked out of curiosity because nothing was every free. What ever the price she would pay it.

That got Angels attention. “A few things that should be in you power to give. The plans for the Zaj cloaking device.” Angel held up on finger.

Mira frowned, thinking that over but star fleet had the plans for about 2 years now, so she nodded in agreement.

“I was promised section 31 operatives. “ Angel held up the next finger.

Mira nodded. “Reaper can’t be trusted. He left me to die on a mission we were on.”

“interesting, What about Bishop?” Angel showed no expression.

“He is sitting in the brig right now for trying to leave the ship.” Mira told her.

Angel laughed, but she nodded. “I’ll keep an eye on them both for you while they are here. Von?” The next finger came up.

Mira frowned. “My brother?” At Angel’s silence, Mira said. “I have no idea where he is. He is dangerous and has tried to kill me a few times.”

Angel smiled. “I still want him. You don’t have to find him just say you don’t want him.”

Mira laughed, startling people around her. “Oh I don’t want him. If I never see him again, I’ll be happy.” Mira placed her hand over her heart as in a promise.

Angel looked far too pleased for her liking but let it go. Angel verses Von, it would be interesting to see who won but Angel with Von together would be a deadly combination.

“The Women kidnapped?” Mira asked, hoping to move past the Von request and end the reqrests.

“3 are here now and they want to return with you, 2 do not.” Angel told her. “The others died. We believe it was a test to see how different races would survive long term transplanting. Only a few races did well.”

Mira nodded, that was what she had been told. She just wasn’t sure she believed it. “The Emperor?”

Angel laughed. “Yes, it would seem your husband has decided to replace the Emperor. It will be an interesting problem.”

Mira frowned but her fingers rubbed her son’s back, comforting. “I want Kevin back.” She wasn’t sure him leave had all been his idea.

The male sitting next to Angel grinned. “I doubt he is going to want to leave. He is going to have a comfortable life and as many women as he wants.”

Mira pressed her lips together not at all happy. Then she tapped her commbadge. “Captain Rodale to Harbinger.”

=/\= “Montgomery here, Captain.” =/\=

“Lock onto Jason and beam him to my quarters after medical evaluation. Then beam Both Reaper and Bishop down to my location.” Mira told him.

=/\= Aye, Captain =/\=

Mira set Jason on the bench next to her. He started crying as soon as she put him down. For safety reasons she needed him on the ship. She couldn’t be the mom right now. The captain had to be here now.

Jason disappeared while Reaper and Bishop appeared. Reaper looked furious. Mira smirked. She had left him in the brig the whole time but honestly it was better then pushing him out the airlock.

Mira looked to Angel. “I want to talk to the 2 woman who chose to stay. I just need to verify for their families that they made this choice.”

“Of course.” Was the only answer she got.

Reaper looked like he wanted to strangle her, but both men was lead away. They had volunteered for this assignment she told herself. They were on their own.

K’ner felt a bit of relief when she got the confirmation from Billingsly on Jason’s safe arrival. She subtly watched the medical data stream along as she gave the Captain a slight nod. It wasn’t over yet…

Rodale…how are we getting out of this cave? Awal continues looking around at his surroundings.

“Same way we got in or the transporter” she answered while her eyes remain on woman walking forward.

“Commander Rodale?” one woman asked. Then smiled “it is you!”

Mira stood and hugged her. “Andria. I am so glad we found you. Hiding in another universe is completely bending the rules.” Mira tried to joke because they had been friends at one time.

“Thank you.” Andria whispered back.

Mira nodded she had tried looking for then all for years now. “who are the two that want to stay?”

“Elora and Justine. They both ended up with wonder men here. They have families now.”

“You talked with both of them?” Mira asked wondering if the information had been honest.

Andria nodded.

“Ok let’s get the 3 of you back to the ship.” Mira told them before ordering the Harbinger to beam 3 more to Sickbay.
