She smiled at him, it wasn't the same smile as it was when Sonja Smiled, but it was a Friendly one. Admete Was a Dark Personality than Sonja Some could Say that she was the Yin to Sonja´s Yang, she was the one that made the Difficult Decisions and the ones that Sonja Could Never do.
Admete: You are the Reason that makes me believe that Sonja Might be Right with her Optimism. But even when I want to Kill this Man, I know that Sonja would never be able to forgive me when I use her Body to take the Life of Somone Else. I am not sure what to think about this, but I think that she also makes me into a Better Person and a better Being.
She enjoyed the Conversation with John even though he wasn't part of the Light. This man was really something else and had gained some of her Trust and made her start to believe that Sonja´s Optimism was a good thing. Soon her Smile would Change as Sonja Came back into control and Admete Returned into the Depths of her Mind.
Sonja: B...but i am Dead....I mean the Medical Data and Everything shows that I am dead...I mean I did all those things to Disapere. I just want to be a Doctor John, I just want to help People. What else do I have to do to get this Man off my heels?
It was clear that Sonja was pretty Exhausted after a Long time on the Run and that she was now at the end of her Strength. She was Mentally exhausted and it was clear that she was holding back some Tears as she holds Niki and cuddles her to get her Emotions under control. She looked Verry Tired all of a Sudden and like she didn't know what she should do anymore.

He could see Sonja's exhaustion. As lovely as the night was, he wanted to get her comfortable. He could, after all, return to the porch once she was set up. Getting to his feet, he placed his now empty glass on a table and gave Sonja an assist.
"Young Lady, you are exhausted," he told her helping her to her feet. "Doctor's orders are that you get some rest."
With Niki in her arms and his shot gun in hand, he escorted her through his living room where he set the shotgun in a corner and showed her up a flight of stairs to his room. It was quite nice for a old west style cabin with a queen size bed, a night stand, oil lamp and some old pictures.
"You will stay here during your, shall we call it, exile." he told her with a smile. "I will be downstairs in the guest room." He started to leave before turning back to her.
"I do not know what you have for clothing but in the closet you will find some kimonos and dresses and such. I do hope that you do not mind Kusari attire as that is all I have for a female."
He stopped for a moment as he turned away before giving a light smile to her. "It is good to see you again. I will be downstairs."
With that, he made his way down the stairs.
She followed him like a Good Patient after he helped her to her feet. It was clear that Sonja was only held up by the strength that she got from Admete and the Light. She followed him to the bedroom and sees the big bad that seemed to Lure her into its sheets like the Song of a Siren. She gave Niki some more Cuddles along the way and made her purr.
Sonja: Thank you, John, i......I don't know how to thank you for all of your Help. You are such a good man John. I am sure that I have it good during my Exile here.
She said with a happy Chuckle that almost sounded like the old Sonja. She Looked into the Wardrobe and sees all the Pretty Clothes and smiled some more before she realized who they must have belonged to.
Sonja: Thank you, John. you are way too good to me and Niki. I don't know how I am ever able to Repay your Kindness.
She said as she holds him back on the Sleeve of his Shirt and Gave him a Kiss on the Cheek. She blushed deeply as she did this, but she wanted to show him how much all of this means to her and how thankful she was. After that, she lets go of him and waits till he left before she gets out of her Dirty Clothes and takes a Shower in the Bath Nearby and then gets Dressed for the night with one of the Kimono. Sonja was Asleep Immediately as soon as she had Crawled under the sheets. And for the First time since she had Faked her Death she could sleep safely and had a Relaxing Night.

She was asleep. Keeping himself downstairs, he kept two lamps lit, one in the guest room and the other on a small table near the entryway. Putting on a robe, he returned to his porch with another glass of scotch. He wasn't quite ready to turn in but kept quiet. The crickets in the woods and the frogs in the lake kept plenty of nature's noise going and he just sat back in his rocker and relaxed.
He had much to think about. He went from thinking that Sonja was dead to her now being a fugitive. A piece of him wanted to know how she sold it, who's remains they were that were launched into the Baffin sun after an autopsy. The latter part got him to thinking. It was Enterprise policy that after a suspicious death that an autopsy be performed regardless of circumstance, the exception being by request of the family not to. Some would disagree with it but legal ramifications called for it more often than not.
He sipped his scotch. What to do next? It weighed heavily upon him. Sonja could not return to duty as she was being hunted but he needed her expertise. She was excellent at what she did and Admete never interfered. For Doc, this was an up close and personal opportunity to study a nomad, it's behaviors and mannerisms, it's triggers and relaxers in a way no one else would ever have a chance.....but how does one sell that thought to a person like a Caliban? He actually like the study idea as it was a first. He had earned Admete's trust and he hers.
After enjoying nature's evening and all that it to offer, he finally yawned and stretched. Yes, fatigue had set in. Finishing his scotch, he headed inside. Locking the front door, he extinguished the lamp toward the front of his home and headed for the guest room that would be his for the next few days. On the way, he grabbed the shotgun and placed it between the bed and the wall where only he could reach it. After several minutes, he nodded off for the evening.
Sonja Laid in the Big bed that belonged to John and thought about the situation that she was in right now. She was now Finally Clean again after she had taken a Shower in the Bath next Door and could wash away all the Dirt and some of the Fears. Sonja would love to work as a Doctor again and continue her work to help the People of the Borderworlds and basically Anyone in need. But she was Officially Dead now and if she would simply Continue her Work then she would Cause big Problems for MFE. Sonja sighs as she Stares at the ceiling and tries to think of a way to get out of this Fucked up Situation.
But the Sound of the crickets and the Wind that blows through the Half-open Window brings the sounds of Nature to her Ear. It was Calming and Relaxing and soon she felt how her eyes got heavier and heavier as she slowly Drifts into her sleep. Sonja was Realy happy that she was at John´s place, and she was even happier that John had Reacted so Friendly to her showing up on his front porch out of nothing.
She still was Worried about Caliban and the Witchhunt that he does, and that made her the Target. But for Now, she was Safe and felt Secure. And so she Slowly Drifts into a Sleep that brings her back to the Love of the Light that brings her a Beautifull Dream.

The Following Morning
Doc was an early riser. At his escape, he had to be as he took care of his horses and would often be in his canoe before sun up catching the day's meal. He often followed that up with a morning swim. The lake was clean and as it was his, he kept it that way. Also each morning, he took a knee before the small grave of his grandson. Beyond that, it was a subject never discussed. He did all this quietly on this day as he didn't want to wake Sonja. To keep Niki quiet, he placed some warm milk down for her.
His catch of the day was quickly cleaned and put in the smoke house as the sun rose. The smell of fresh coffee brewing filled the cabin as did the scent of eggs and a side of bacon cooking for morning meal. Still asleep, he let Sonja be as he took a mug of coffee onto his porch to think.
Sure, they were safe here but they couldn't hide forever. Something had to be done. Sonja was dead to the universe and he needed to keep it that way. Sonja could no longer be publicly seen. That for Doc was the hard part. Creating new base scans? That was easy. A fresh scan would never reveal Admete so no one would know the difference. It would be today's discussion with his good friend and colleague.
Sonja was sleeping long that day. But the Smell of Coffe and Beacon Woke her up, or at least it was her body that was getting up. Then her eyes were not Blue but Purple as she opened them. It was clear that Admete was in charge this time. She got Dressed and ready for the day, after that she began to Follow the smell of coffee and Beacon till she Found Doc on the Porch.
Admete: I hope you have some coffee for me as well. Sonja is still asleep and I want to let her sleep for a while longer as she had really had a Hard time in the last few days so I want to have her a bit more rest. But I could use a Cup of coffee now. Coffee is really one of the best things that Humans Brought to our Land.
She laughs Dark and Deep as she looks at John and Sits next to him. She had a Friendly and Protecting look in her eyes as she talks about Sonja. And of course, it didn't take long before Niki Followed them and Jumped onto Admete´s Lap and gets some Cuddles from her.

He was a good deal surprised. A Nomad sitting next to him and wanting some coffee. He just bobbed his head, smiled and gave a reply of, "Well, then. Coffee it shall be. How do you take it? Cream, sugar, both?"
Getting an answer, he went in to pour a cup for her while topping off his own. Handing Admete her coffee, Doc returned to his seat and sipped his.
He sat quietly enjoying the morning as he listened to Admete speak. It was a gray day with a light rain just starting but it was still pleasant. Even a bad day at the retreat was still better than a good day of work.
A lot of what Admete said were things he already knew but she also knew things that he did not. For now, Doc just listened. His own story was long but somehow, he figured Admete could read him quite well and he always presented an open mind in all he did. He also knew that he wasn't going to fool her.
For the moment, he just listened, enjoying her company.
Admete was looking forward to a nice cup of coffee and the effects it have on her. It was something because she enjoyed it to be connected to a human. But it was usually Sonja that made the coffee for her so she had to think about it a bit.
Admete: I...hmmm I have to think about it... it's usually Sonja that makes it....she does this white thing into it...dam how is the Name of that stuff.....Marsh....swallows?....no that's not it...Ah yes, Marshmallows that's it. she does Cream and Marshmallows into it....Can you do that too?
She Looked like a Child at the Candy Store as she mentioned her Special mix of coffee that she loved so much. It was weird that an Incubus loved coffee that much, but this was Sonja´s fault as she had introduced this Delicious Liquid to her. She smiled Friendly at him as she got her cup of coffee just like she loved it.
Admete: Thank you, John, I can't lie that Sonja got me kinda Addicted to this Stuff. [color=#804080]LaughsBut yes this is the Perfect Start for such a Rainy Day. I think I understand some things about you humans, but lots of things are still like a Riddle for me. But You humans are Fascinating Species and it is often funny to watch you.
She made a happy face as she Sips from the Coffe and ate one of the Marshmallows and enjoyed the Taste of the Sweet Marshmallow. She looked a lot more soft and friendly at this moment as she was Distracted by the Taste of the Coffe with the Marshmallows.
Admete: Once Sonja is up we have to Talk about the Future and what we do to hide us. But for now we should let her enjoy a bit more Sleep before we bring her back to all of her Problems. But i can tell you that we will Probaly need to change a lot of things to be able to hide among the Humans again.

Doc was rather amused. Never in his life did he ever figure to be drinking coffee with a nomad but he didn't feel threatened nor did he feel uncomfortable. There was a smile on his face.
"Marshmallows in coffee is quite unique," he stated. "Normally you find those in hot chocolate, something I can make for later in the day or something but in coffee, that is definitely unique. I often wondered why so many put stuff in their coffee but not me." He raised his mug in a toast, "I drink mine straight up........black." He lowered his mug and took a sip before resting it in his hands.
For a moment, he wondered what Admete thought of him or even what he was thinking. He had heard of their mind probes and knew that she could if she wanted to but as disciplined as Doc's mind was, he could usually sense if someone was doing just that. Still, he respected her abilities.
"Humans are by nature curious and trusting," he explained, the mug resting in his hands on his lap. "Despite those who feel the need to kill and destroy all they see, I would say humanity on the whole is good natured." He snorted, "Sadly, it only takes a beaurocrat, a pirate and just someone waking up on the wrong side of bed one day to ruin it for the rest of us."
He took a look over at Admete expecting at least a dirty look but didn't look long enough to notice, Rather, he raised his mug and took another sip before returning it to his lap. He snorted again, "Yeah, we do some funny stuff we humans do."
He thought a moment about the future. He knew they had to do something and he had ideas. He had no idea how good Caliban was but he figured he was very good. For now, they had good refuge but doing nothing wasn't an option. For now, the universe had to believe that Sonja was dead. It was the only way and for now, he had to keep his personal feelings for her to himself.
