Etheric Dimension.

Baba Yaga was breathing hard, lying on the ground trying to pull more energy in, while the white swirled above her. “I suggest we just take off all this armor and do it the old-fashioned way.”

Which is what? TOM asked.

“Naked with swords and guns,” she whispered.

And if they use explosives with ball bearings or something similar?

“I get peppered?”

And if one of them hits me?

“You can’t regenerate?”

To some level, but if they damage my body enough I’m a goner.

She heaved a heavy sigh. “Well, fuck. You know, you come with a lot of baggage—just like a boyfriend.”

I do a lot of good, and I am handy with math.

“Just like a boyfriend.” She got up started walking towards where she suspected the enemy was located. “Well, some of them,” she qualified. “But if they weren’t good with math, they were usually good with engines.”

>>Keep it up,<< ADAM shot to TOM. >> She needs to focus on the past.<<

I’m working on it! TOM shot back. It’s not like I’m her boyfriend or something.

>>Well, you are with her all the time, you say stuff at the most inopportune times, you curse like a sailor, and she puts you in the doghouse.<<

You are right, I am her fucking boyfriend, TOM sighed. When Michael came on board with this other human, I should have paid more attention to who I was putting myself into.

>>Which also sounds just like a boyfriend.<< ADAM smirked, sending the equivalent of a chuckle to TOM.

“What are you two talking about?” Baba Yaga asked.

Can I admit I don’t want to talk about it?

“Of course. Do you want to talk about it?” she asked.

No.

“So fucking do it anyway,” she growled.

Fine! TOM sighed. We were talking about when Michael first brought you onto my ship.

“Brought Bethany Anne on the ship,” she clarified, and repeated the mantra in her mind: One foot in front of the other! One foot in front of the other!

Just make the damned changes to the story in your own mind. I didn’t want to talk about this anyway! TOM grumped.

“Fine,” she huffed. “What were you thinking before you jumped aboard?”

I was thinking this was the perfect opportunity to engage with a viable candidate, so long as they checked out.

“Bethany Anne checked out,” she said once more.

Who-the-fuck-EVER checked out! TOM practically yelled. Who is telling this story? Do you want to know or not? I’m happy to shut up now. Just give me the word.

“Fine, keep going.” She dropped to her knees and slowly moved her head forward to look back into her dimension before sharply jerking it back. “SHIT!” she cried as she threw her body backward and put her arms out to stop her roll.

Almost get a face full of vehicle? TOM asked. He hadn’t paid attention to her visual for one damned moment.

“What the hell are you doing?” Mercenary Third Lead Gellhern yelled at the new recruit who was in front of him. He was waving as if he had a poisonous insect problem.

The raw recruit, otherwise
