"Seems like yesterday I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I walked away

If I knew what I knew what I know today"

There she was standing seemingly alone on the stage even though there was a full big band behind her the spotlight turned her wine red hair into a fiery aura outlining her shoulders and breasts into a smooth feminie shape. She looked vulnerable as a doll up on that stage in the little black dress that was almost too short and the stiletto knee high boots that he knew would hurt her feet and she would probably complain about latter.

"Good listen to you, you sound like a sap" he chided himself pushing down the anger that was threatening to rise up, he wanted to smash every mofo's head in that was staring at his girl like that! But he wouldn't because he had left his anger behind just like he had Ava, Zan and Lonnie they had been his family but He killed Zan and Ava had run off and Lonnie well after all her brains and powers an Earth gun took her down.

The song came to its big finish and everybody cheered and so did he because he knew that this song was and the reason that she was up on that stage was for him. For one of the two incarnations of an Antarian solider, the song was for Rath.

As he waited outside for her his baby, he remembered the time that he had first met Ana it was just after he had brought his black and sliver Yamaha YZF-R6. With some money he had 'liberated' form some uptight business cornball who wouldn't miss it, he had loved strollin' into that store having all the people stare and ran away then handing over the money in cash and seeing the guys eyes pop outta his head, the hottie sales girl was a ok bang the next night too.

He was just cruising around New York no matter where he ended up in America he always ended up back in good ol' NY. Ana had just finished a sift as a waitress in sleazy club and some guy wanted more than she was willing to offer so Rath stepped in to lend the little lady a hand.

Somehow she'd ended up spending the night in his apartment when he entered his room to find Ana in her tight spaghetti strap top that she'd worn to work and her underwear Rath realized that she thought that he want sex as payment. The innocent look in Ana's bright blue eyes one he hadn't seen since her and that had been a long time ago. Rath had cleared up the matter and Ana had spent the night on his couch and she had only recently left it for his bed but they still hadn't slept together.

"Hey babe" Rath cheered focus on the spicy perfume she wore; he loved when she hugged him because that smell stayed on him for a while, "how did I do?" Ana asked leaning against his chest "you gave all the dudes in the house a hard on girlie even me and that's a hard feat" Rath grinned when she jumped back and scrunched her eyes tight. "Rath I do not want that image!" she said punching him in the chest and he almost felt it which was good for a human.

They got on his bike and raced around the city until they got back to his apartment that was a little shabby but it was surprising clean and severed Rath just fine it had cream walls with a sandy brown carpet that was threadbare in certain spots. Rath shoved his key into the brown door and jiggled it around because the damn door wouldn't open! "Finally" Rath muttered as he ushered Ana inside.

Throwing off her boots s she plopped down onto the grey couch that was so old that it was extremely soft and plushy. Just as Rath had expected, Ana crossed one leg over her other and rubbed her sore foot. Rath sat down and pulled her close, he fought the urge to kiss her on the top of the head so he settled on wrapping his tattooed muscular arms around her. Rath prayed that Ana couldn't hear the insane feminine laughter that was ringing in his ears.
