Chapter Fourteen

Topper breathed easier the moment they walked out of the portal and into her front yard. It wasn’t like she didn’t like Glacier… well, actually, it was like that. At least it relieved her until everyone of alien origin suddenly froze and stared at the woman sitting on her porch steps.

Topper swore softly and handed the baby to Stark before she marched to confront the troublemaker.

“Sweet Gaia—what’s the wicked witch down under up to now?” Nonny murmured as she followed her sister.

Topper all but growled when she stopped in front of her current nemesis. “Witch? Don’t you mean bitch?”

“Hush, sister, your daughter is listening to you. Mind the example you’re setting,” Nonny said as she interrupted.

Stark turned to his friend. “Thor, will you see Mars to his new quarters? And perhaps Rime could show Nia around town while the witches work out their… situation?”

Rime bowed her head. “I’d be happy to give Nia a tour of the town.”

Thor grinned. “Are you suggesting that the fewer witnesses for the witch fight—the better, Stark?”

Stark looked down into the wide-eyed stare of his two-day-old son. He smiled and nodded. “Yes. A witch stand-off is not the best way to welcome a new guest to Earth. Even my infant son knows that.” Berg gurgled and squealed in support.

“Indeed. He’s already as wise as his father,” Thor said as he and the other Glacierans strode to the path that led into town.

“Did you have a pleasant trip, Topper? Say…” Narelle pointed and smiled. “Weren’t you in a family way when you left? Bruce said you were about to pop.”

“Mother Gaia is the only reason I’m not zapping you right now,” Topper said, crossing her arms.

Narelle grunted. “Well, that’s not very friendly. Am I not welcome here?”

“No,” Topper said flatly. “That’s why you couldn’t get past my wards, Narelle.”

“I believe I could have broken them if I’d put some work into doing so, but that would have not set the right tone for my visit.”

Topper glared. “Speaking of that… why are you here, Narelle?”

Narelle sighed as she stood. “I may have been a bit hasty in saddling your young witch with my former employee for her first familiar. I’ve come to correct my error.”

“Your change of heart happened too late. They’re blood-bonded, Narelle.” Topper narrowed her eyes. “And I’m not buying that story. Your arrogance is larger than your power. Tell me the truth.”

Narelle rolled her eyes as she lifted her hands. “Can’t an old friend make amends?”

“When did we become old friends? Last I heard, you never wanted to set eyes on me again in this life. I’ve been more than happy to comply with that request all these years.”

Narelle closed her eyes in exasperation. “Bloody hell, Topper. Are you really going to make me crawl?”

“No, I will bind you, stuff you inside a wooden crate, and ship you back to Australia. And I will let Kevin help me,” Topper declared.

“You Bloody Yanks hold a grudge, don’t you? The Fates told Gaia what I did.
