The Answer is Always ... LOVE -- Who?

�Ok, Guinan can you tell me a little about our guest?� Captain asked once all the officers were seated for the emergency debriefing.

"So, this Borg thing, it's a demon right?" Kelly asked trying to understand her new friend's physical appearance.

"You could say that." Seven replied.
"So where are you off to?" Kelly asked.

Even though the two women had met only a couple of hours ago, they had already managed to dust more than a dozen or so vampires together, making them bond very quickly.

"I do not know yet. I am to find�" Seven started to answer when her eyes fell onto the air behind Kelly, which rippled for a split second before a dark figure appeared.

"Stand back!" Seven warned, reacting quickly to the creature appearing behind her new friend.
Looking back, Kelly immediately spread out arms toward Seven as if to protect the man from her.

"No, no." Kelly said aloud to both of them who were already in attack position.

"Annika, this is Victor, my boyfriend." Kelly said. "And Victor this is Annika, she is a newly reformed demon." Kelly said making her own conclusion.

"Reformed demon? Damn Kelly, Faith is going to kill you." Victor said shaking Seven's hand.

"Faith..." Seven said under her breath.

"Don't worry about mom, she'll keep quiet once Perfect mom agrees, and Perfect mom never says no to me." Kelly said without worry and taking Seven's hand and walking.

"Agree to what?" Seven asked confused about what Kelly was talking about.

"About you coming for dinner." Kelly answered as a matter of fact even though Seven didn't even recall being invited.

"Are you sure, Kel? Everyone will be there today, remember Ken's coming back after graduation." Victor reminded his girlfriend.

"Oh Shit! I completely forgot." Kelly exclaimed while smacking her head. Once the realization faded so did the mild panic. "It'll be ok. After all, the more the merrier.".

"I do not want to impose." Seven stated.

"Don't you worry about it." Kelly said and grabbed Victor's hand and winked at him. Victor smiled and the three of them disappeared.

�So, you don�t know how she is alive, you just know she is.� Tuvok summed up Guinan�s explanation. �That is illogical.�

"Life rarely is otherwise, Tuvok." Guinan replies, her eyes shining with the patience an elder would bestow upon a stubborn child. "However, all I can tell you is what I know." Looking to the others gathered she continues. "She is from a time when demons, vampires, warlocks and witches walked among men. She was among the few chosen to protect mankind. In the late 21st century when mankind evolved to welcome peace as their way of life all of the Chosen disappeared, yet she remained."

"When I had asked her that, she said she still had to save the world one more time." Guinan recalled.

"Well, we certainly feel lucky that she is here then." Lt. Paris joked to which the whole room smiled.

"Captain, you can probe her as much as you want, but you'll not find any explanation to how she survived for so long or how she lived in space, except that she is immortal." Guinan said letting the joke slide by.

"The most important question here is whether or not she is a threat to the ship or earth?" Janeway asked.

"Then, we will wait for her to wake up." Janeway said, nodding to her officers in dismissal.

�Room full of people, yet all alone.� He said as he stood right next to the woman who had stood silently as she scanned the room. Once inside the house Kelly had introduced her to everyone, but she couldn�t find Faith, the name due to which she had not declined the dinner invitation.

�Wondering who is who?� He asked as he could see that she was searching the room with her eyes.

�Yeah, but have you figured who is who?� He asked as he looked at the crowded room.

�See that woman picking up the glass, she is Piper, our eldest aunt, and Kelly is her daughter with Faith.� He said pointing to a woman whom Seven assessed to be in her fifties, but looked very healthy and strong. *With Faith* Seven made a mental note of his last words.

�Now, that is Aunt Phoebe and her wife Tara, Ken the young graduate from Hogwarts is their son. And see that Winona Rider look alike in the corner, that is my sister Kate. Twin sister. And that�s our mom Paige.� Kay said as he emptied his glass and looked at the room almost with loathe.

�Every one of them is supposed to be have been blessed by powers. My mom and her sisters the Charmed Ones. Tara is a white lighter. Kelly is a slayer. Ken, the young Ken, is half white-lighter half witch. And not to mention the great Katie, is the next in line for the Halliwell powers.� Kay described his family with a clear despise in his intoxicated voice.

�What are your powers?� Seven asked the young man who was introduced to her as Kaynard.

�None. Except this.� He said and pointed to his brains. �They almost lost this house because of non-payment of taxes, as they were busy saving the world. Who saved the manor? I did. P3 the bar that Aunt Piper runs with Faith, would have been ruins if I hadn�t put more money in it. I extended this property so that everyone could live here. But of course, my grinding day to day in the corporate world is nothing compared to saving the world. I don�t save the world I just make money so that they can go and save the world.� Kay grabbed one more drink from his twin, who was serving for everyone.

�But don�t worry, you�ll see normal people here, Faith has gone to pick up, Fred and Willow with their son Derrick. Now, they are normal, well at least Fred is. Willow is a wica.�

�How many times did you go to see her?� Kathryn asked once they were all alone in her quarters.

�I have told the Doctor to inform us as soon as she comes to.� Kathryn said as she went inside the bedroom to change.

�We�ll be right there.� She said as she saw Seven almost out the door. �Seven, did Guinan say she was from the 20^th century?�

�Then I have an idea.� Kathryn said as she hit her com and spoke. �Guinan.�

�Your friend is awake, why don�t you and your friend join us for dinner at holodeck 3.� Kathryn said as she gazed at Seven and continued, �And wear something formal.�

�Why do you wish to share dinner with her?� Seven asked once the com conversation was over.

�Because I have always wanted to show you off in a beautiful figure hugging dress, and now I have got a reason for it.� Kathryn said as she pulled her lover and kissed her.

It was a long table that chaired everyone. Seven sat right around the middle of Kelly and Kay, and in front of her was Kate who somehow was paying more attention to her seeing that Kay couldn�t keep his distance from her.

�Annika I insist you must try this salad. I made them myself.� Kate said as she offered a bowl, and kept her stare steady on Seven�s eyes.

�Be careful of witches brew.� Kay warned as he intercepted the bowl before Seven could take it.

�In a Lesbian�s Den men always seem rude. It takes a straight woman to know the value of a real man.� He said looking directly at Seven as though she was supposed to second his statement.

�Say that louder so that Faith can kick your ass.� Kate provoked her twin brother. �Anyway a real woman always appreciates a real woman, right Annika?� Kate said with a flirting smile. �Can I call you Ann?�

Kay and Kate continued their little tug of war, while all that time Seven�s eyes were transfixed on only one woman who was sitting right at the head table with a permanent smile pasted on her face. Faith.

�Wondering why she doesn�t look fifty.� Kay said landing Seven�s mind back to their side of the table.

�No one knows, but the best explanation, some demon she killed must have given her a fountain of youth as an side effect, so she doesn�t look a day older than 25, though I think she is well over 50.� It was Kate who filled in.

�I know Seven looks breathtaking and no one can appreciate it more than I do, but Faith could you please stop staring at my girlfriend.� Kathryn finally said it, after being uncomfortable with Faith gaze at her girlfriend ever since Faith joined them in the Holodeck where Kathryn had chosen a 20^th century Italian restaurant as a setting.

�I am sorry Captain. She just looks like someone I used to know.� Faith said apologizing.

�Apology accepted.� Seven answered as she had been bothered by Faith�s stares too. �It is proven that every one in one million seven hundred and fifty fifth human conceived share almost more 90 percent of their physical attributes.�

�That is good to know, Seven.� Guinan answered to lighten the mood of the room.

�So, you were telling me that there were more people like you.� Kathryn encouraged Faith to continue.

�Yes, there were many immortals too. Both good and bad, but now its only me.�

�After the shift they all left, as the new co-ordinates of the earth�s orbit made it impossible for paranormal energy to thrive in earth�s atmosphere, rendering the world savers no work so they moved on to the next planet that was haunted.�

�So, were you the one responsible for the shift.� Kathryn asked as no one had yet been able to solve how an entire planet Venus exploded in the late 20^th century causing earth to shift.

�I wish I could take the credit but I didn�t.� Faith answered honestly as her gaze once again landed on the expressionless face of the ex-drone.

�Negative, I just met her.� Seven tried to lie and get past the young man who had caught her alone in the balcony.

�I saw the way you were looking at her, and I have been staring at your face. These don�t look anything organic. And people turned into demon have organic mutilation not metallic. You are not from here. I was guessing another universe, alternate universe then, I remembered borg, and I knew I had read that somewhere, you are from the future.� Kay said blocking Seven�s escape.

�I do not know what you are talking about.� Seven once again tried to allude Paige�s son.

�Seven of Nine, an ex-drone returns home with the crew of USS Voyager.� Kay recites the headline that he remembered.

�Yes, only for short periods, but I know why you are here.� Kay answered honestly.

�Why am I here?� Seven asked as she herself wasn�t sure about the purpose of her visit.
