It was not long before Jared reached his climax inside Lili, pouring all of himself into her with that final gasp as he hips arched below her. It was mere seconds later when Ian pulled back from where Lili’s entire body was still trembling from she and Jared’s lovemaking. Ian then slowly eased himself out of her mouth where she had been continuing to pleasure him with her lips and tongue throughout that lovemaking. Ian then moved instead to gently lift her up off of Jared’s quickly departing erection.

In the next instance he was just as gently laying her upon her back, moving with her as he did. Then in one quick, but equally gentle motion, he slid himself deep inside that intense wetness, made even more intense by the fact that it had been literal seconds since Jared had filled her with his own seed,

As Ian thrust into her, reveling in the feeling of all that wetness, and finally being inside her again, Lili almost immediately began climaxing once more. Jared looked on, breathing raggedly from his own recent pleasure as he watched Ian continue to thrust into her, taking mere moments before his own orgasmic tremors then started inside her.

As Ian let out his own loud gasp as his seed poured into Lili once again as well, Jared’s spectating of their lovemaking was immediately halted. It was then that his entire body tensed and his eyes rolled back as those millions of images began flooding his brain once that orgasm had left him mentally and physically drained; opening up his mind to whatever it was the universe wanted him to see so badly this time.

Barely managing the breath for words, Ian looked down at where he still lay above her, inside her, both their bodies still trembling from the pleasure. “Is he ok?” Ian finally managed with a bit of worry, despite all the other emotions they each were feeling right then.

“It’s another vision” Lili breathed her own response as she pushed herself shakily up to her elbows.

“Sex triggers them?” Ian couldn’t help a grin as he discovered that little nugget at last.

“Stranger things have happened” was all Lili could say in response to Ian’s smirk as he finally removed himself from her, both still trying to recover their own faculties as they each waited for Jared to come back from whatever this new vision was.

When Jared did finally return to the present, he was a bit taken aback when he opened his eyes once more. Lili and Ian were both still there upon the bed with him, though now they had pulled a cover haphazardly up over their still naked bodies, while quietly waiting for Jared’s mental return.

“Uh, hi” he swallowed hard as the two looked back at him expectantly. Another slight clearing of his throat as he reached for another sheet to cover himself with as well.

“Yeah, so too late man” Ian teased as he cast a pointed glance down over Jared’s body with that permanent flirtatiousness that they hadn’t seen from him in ages. To which, Jared just shook his head with a slight blush, despite the intense threesome he had just been locked in with the other man all morning.

“So, what did you see?” Lili was the first to dare to ask.

Jared took another breath as he replayed the vision in his head, trying to find the words to answer her, “well, it was Miranda.”

Lili gasped a bit at hearing her mother’s name for the first time in months, only it was Ian who spoke up first, “so, you’re having visions of Lili’s mom, triggered by...fucking Lili?” he repeated with a sarcastic thoughtfulness, “good thing there are no more shrinks around to have a field day with that one.”

“Hardly that kind of vision, Ian” Jared scoffed.

“Wait, you do have those kind of visions?” Ian had to ask, perking up at that thought.

“Ian, please” Lili complained, lightly smacking him as she awaited the rest of Jared’s explanation.

Jared took another deep breath before attempting to share his vision, as problematic as that always was for him, “she survived the crash, I know that much” he began on an up note, as Lili couldn’t help a tiny, hopeful smile.

“But...” Ian prodded, despite it causing Lili to scowl over at him.

“But” Jared continued, “I’m not sure when exactly I’m seeing and...”

“And what?” Lili asked worriedly.

“And, she didn’t look all that well. I’m sorry, Lili” he added as he looked up at her sadly, as her pretty eyes fell to the bedding between them again.

Ian was silenced by that revelation as well, as he also said nothing, giving Lili the time she needed to digest the words.

Lili took a deep, brave breath as she looked up at Jared again, “but she was still alive after the crash, and still alive in your vision though, right?”

“Yes, but like I said, I don’t know when exactly it was. Right after the crash? Months after? Now? I just don’t know that much yet” he apologetically added, “and she seemed...not well” he repeated sadly.

“But if she made it to the ground, up there, on that planet where Kyle is right now. That means there is still hope, right?” Lili insisted.

“Lili, you know how much I want you to have that hope, but...” Jared attempted again.

“There’s still hope!” she insisted more loudly, as if saying it with more authority would make it so. Jared simply looked down again, saying nothing else, nor did Ian. “Then there’s still hope” Lili repeated one more time, though in a much smaller voice as she moved from the bed to go and gather her clothes, leaving the two men there as she made her way through the bedroom’s doorway and departed.

After several more long moments of silence between the two men, Ian finally was the one to speak up, “so who wants to be the one to remind her to eat her handy-dandy abortion plants? I think she’ll definitely need them after...that” he decided on as he glanced pointedly at the bed where he and his companion both had been making love to her less than half an hour earlier.

Jared just scoffed quietly, “I’m sure she’ll remember. And we do have a few more hours left to remind her if need be” he stated sadly, mainly caught up thinking about what Lili had to be feeling right then.

Another long silence as Ian let out a deep breath before moving to sit next to Jared, where the younger man had been now frozen in place, having been leaning back against that wall ever since Ian had even entered the room that morning at all.

“What are you doing?” Jared had to ask.

“Sitting?” Ian offered with a shrug as he leaned back next to the other man, moving a hand up to wipe a sweat-damp lock from his forehead, paying no heed to the fact that the sheet barely managed to continue covering him as he changed places atop the bed.

“Considering how long it’s been since your last orgasm, I’m assuming you’ll keep your hands to yourself at least?” Jared mumbled, though, with a lack of seriousness.

“Do I hear a challenge?” Ian smirked as he glanced down over Jared’s surprisingly muscular frame again, considering Jared’s interests had always lain more with the mental than physical realm.

Jared just scoffed again, though said nothing else as he continued staring downward as well, despite the other man’s closeness.

After several more moments of deep thought from both of them, Ian was once again the first to speak, “so, let’s say Miranda actually is still alive” he began.

“That’s quite a lofty assumption” Jared returned in the same mumble as before.

“But, if she is... I’m wondering how on ear---” he then caught himself, “how we’ll explain any of the last year to her” his eyes involuntarily moved toward the room where he and Lili’s newborn daughter slept soundly. He then also couldn’t help looking back at where he and Jared both still sat, nude, atop Lili’s bed, after both having been inside her all morning long.

“Very carefully?” Jared offered, though he swallowed hard at the thought himself.

“Think she still has any access to, say, anything like... a firing squad?” Ian returned, only half seriously.

“I guess, if she actually is still alive, we’ll definitely be sure to find that out” Jared agreed with his own worried breath right then.

Tyler looked more than a little taken aback by how quickly Kyle had come to that conclusion. He took a breath as he watched Kyle warily before speaking, “I know you were this big computer genius and all, but how could you have possibly known about...what happened to Serena?” he settled on.

Kyle took a breath of his own then, not sure how much to really bombard the other teen with quite yet, “well, she was stopped” he then added, more quietly, “and the E-children are the only ones who could have stopped her; and you and India were the oldest” he added for weight.

Tyler took another breath, “but how do you know that?”

“Well, there was a theory,” Kyle attempted to begin, “mostly only mine and a few members of the science team, but nothing was ever ‘official’ or ‘documented’... there was just a whole lot of evidence for it.”

“A theory?”

Kyle then sighed in resignation, “I know you’re different, Tyler, you, and India, and Paul,” he referred to the next eldest, who would now be sixteen, himself, “and all the rest of the younger kids, eventually” he added, then looked back up into those startling blue eyes, “and me, and Jared,” a glance toward where Will was still preparing breakfast, “and especially Will here. You don’t have to hide it anymore. There’s no one left to hide it from.” he stated with a strange combination of empathy and regret, as odd as either had ever been to Kyle in the previous version of his life. Then again, another look toward Will and Kyle realized that a whole lot was different now, since fate had taken him away from the only home he had ever known, before.

“He’s an E-kid too?” Tyler latched onto that bit of information as he looked over at Will once more.

“Yeah, his parents were from a different ship; they crashed on our planet twenty years ago. His mom was either pregnant then, or he had just been born, we’re still unclear on that one” Kyle attempted, “but either way, his parents are both gone, and he’s either twenty or twenty one, we think, which would make him the oldest of all of us, even Serena” he added for weight.

Tyler swallowed again as he looked back at Will, “so he can do the stuff that Serena could do?”

That was when Kyle’s smile returned before he answered, “oh his stuff is way better than that.”
