Is this destiny?

In the living room…

"Did you hear about the organization Chaos?", Aiden asked Jeff and JoAnna.

Jeff confirmed. "They appeared few months ago and are expanding rapidly. It seems that their main base is in the Los Angeles area."

"Anything else?", Sarah asked curiously.

Jeff waved his hand dismissively. "Anything other than that is a crazy mix of superstition and science fiction."

"Like?" Sarah continued probing enthusiastically.

Jeff sighed and started talking even though he was not willing.

"A woman with glowing red eyes who can paralyze people without touching them, and there is a black panther occasionally, and then her lover as well… supernatural strength, lasers shooting out of their eyes… petrifying enemies, undetectable poison… disappearing without any trace into thin air… the only warning of their attacks are that all electronic devices stop working, even electricity is cut off… and the army, an endless army of shadows. Whoever wants to take over their asset faces fate worse than death…" Jeff snorted. "Other than no one can find their base, I don't believe in any of those..."

While Jeff was talking, JoAnna's eyes didn't leave Sarah. And she noticed that her sister is swelling with pride.

Jeff was still talking: "Poisonous mist… nothing left behind…"

"Jeff, honey… you should stop inflating Sarah's ego.", JoAnna told Jeff.

"What do you mean?", Jeff was confused.

JoAnna pinched the roof of her nose while thinking, how is it possible that she didn't see it so far? Other than few crazy things, most of it fits into place.

"How do you get your eyes to turn red?", JoAnna asked Sarah.

Sarah was not surprised that JoAnna figured it out. She made few slight moves with her fingers in the air, selecting eye color options in the Eve-vision and she laughed at the sight of Jeff's shock when he saw her eyes turn red.

JoAnna approached Sarah and observed her eyes. "Lenses?"

Sarah nodded in confirmation and turned off the color change. "They are connected to Eve. Other than color change, we get few neat things like night vision and zoom options… but they can't shoot lasers."

JoAnna sat next to Jeff and thought about what he said. She found explanations: "Paralyzing opponents is done with my serum, by the drones, right?" She didn't wait for an answer as she continued: "Black panther is Kitty… And the lover is right here… Petrified people are only paralyzed… Interference with electricity and devices is done by Eve…" JoAnna pointed at Sarah's left arm, "Supernatural strength…"

"What about the army?", JoAnna asked. "How do you fabricate that?"

"They are real.", Sarah responded. "With our generals included, there are ninety-six people."

Jeff blinked few times while his eyes shifted from Sarah to Aiden. "It's you two?"

Sarah and Aiden confirmed.

"Felix perfected a lot of things. Our drones are practically invisible…", Sarah started explaining while Aiden got one drone from the backpack (they always have few handy, just in case of an emergency).

JoAnna and Jeff held their breaths while the drone disappeared right in front of their eyes.

"Felix knows about you?", Jeff was not pleased about this possibility.

"He knows that we have a lot of drones which can be used for disabling enemies, but he does not know for what exactly we are using them."

Sarah's answer pacified Jeff.

They showed their expansion map to Jeff and JoAnna and explained current status and plans.

"Other than chasing out Lebedev and Voronin families out of the area, we are also thinking that our Chaos army can be useful in supporting you two when needed. Think of it like secret elite units. All our members are great fighters and they can handle weapons.", Sarah ended her explanation.

"The fact that our identities are not known serves to our advantage.", Aiden added.

Jeff was happy to hear about this. He showed his interest to visit the Chaos nightclub. His brother and sister-in-law are doing great, but…"Does that mean how you will not be able to take over the position Shawn held in the White family?"

Aiden paused and his expression showed that he is torn. He wants to help Jeff, but he does not want to leave Sarah. He was pulled out of his thoughts when Sarah took his hand in hers.

"There is no need to choose.", she told Aiden. "We can do it all. The position does not require you to be there all the time, and Jeff needs someone he can trust. You can take Jesse with you and he can be your second in command."

Aiden's expression told Sarah that he does not approve. "I want to stay by your side. Remember? Everything together."

Sarah smiled. "Then allow me to be by your side. Jesse will be the third in command in White family. How does that sound? And you will be by my side in Chaos while I get Haru and Ron to work with Noah. In that way we will have people who can manage the forces when the two of us go on a vacation."

Aiden perked up. "A vacation? Longer than few days?"

"I want a month-long honeymoon. At minimum."

Aiden inched closer to Sarah and caressed her cheek gently. "How about a lifelong honeymoon?"

"Even better.", she whispered and closed the last fraction of distance between their lips.

JoAnna cleared her throat when she saw that they have no intention to stop kissing.

Sarah laughed and looked at her sister while leaning into Aiden's embrace. "I always said that you are the only person rude enough to interrupt people kissing."

"I would not interrupt if the two of you don't act like teenagers!", JoAnna protested. "Do it in the privacy… or at least not in front of me."

Sarah pouted and looked at Aiden. "Maybe we should not get married. It seems that marriage makes people grumpy."

Aiden narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to back out of it? You said 'yes' more than once…" He tightened his hug and spoke softly in her ear: "You know that I look forward to make you officially mine. Don't you dare take that away from me." His lips brushed against her ear and he whispered: "I will make sure you are thoroughly exhausted so that you don't have any energy left to be grumpy."

Sarah giggled. This man… he is flirting cheekily no matter who is watching.

"Can I take that as a promise?", she whispered back.

"Absolutely."

Sarah was not sure if it's his devilish smile or the sparkle in his dark eyes, but she was sucked into a dimension where it's just the two of them and she completely ignored her sister's protests while she kissed Aiden like there is no tomorrow.

"Let them be, sweetie.", Jeff told JoAnna. "You know that they were always like this. And now it's worse because they are compensating for the three months they were apart."

JoAnna snorted. "They can compensate at home."

Jeff looked at visibly irritated JoAnna.

"Is everything OK? Lately you are a bit… grumpy.", he said cautiously.

JoAnna frowned, ready to argue with her husband and then suddenly lowered her gaze when she remembered that her period is two days late. What if…? She smiled while thinking that she needs to take the test secretly because if she is pregnant, that will be the perfect present for her man who has everything that the money can buy… and his birthday is only three weeks away.
