Authoress's Note: Datura is VERY, VERY, VERY dangerous stuff. Yes, in olden days it was used by Oracles to predict the future (or so they claimed). But that shit can kill you! Moonlight is a demi-goddess type thing. She can survive its use. You most likely will not. You have been warned!
Moonlight sat in the middle of Carol Hines�s living room. She could sense that things were dangerously close to spiraling out of control. If she didn�t get everything back on track, the world was seriously fucked.
Tsking at herself, Moonlight rolled her eyes. She hated it when the vulgarity of some host bodies slipped through. But such was her fate.
�Time to get things rocking and rolling,� she murmured. In front of her she had placed a small cast iron pot that was Cassandra had purchased during a year at college she never finished.
Moonlight sat with her legs folded underneath her. She threw Mugwort and Wormwood into the pot, followed by a handful of Datura. Taking a deep breath, Moonlight lit the charcoal and waited for the fumes to rise.
Moonlight reaches out in many directions at once-

Daken was frustrated. He was so close to his final goal, and now it looked as if he was going to fail.
Essex had told him that they had only forty eight hours to get to his father before Stryker was going to, for all intents and purposes, have James lobotomized.
Daken glared at the paperwork that littered the table in front of him. Plans to basically �augment� James�s brain with computer chips� was Stryker mad? This would destroy everything that made James... well, James.
There was a sick irony here, and it did not escape Daken. This is what he had been helping Romulus do all along, except that Romulus was using a more �natural� approach to rewriting James�s history.
Unfortunately for Daken, Stryker had learned his lesson and now had his father locked up tight. With only forty eight hours, Daken didn�t see how it would be possible to save his father.
Snarling, Daken cleared the table with a single swipe of his arm. �Fuck!� he yelled. �It�s not fucking fair!�
�Life is actually very fair, it�s just not always fair to one person all of the time.�
Daken spun around to see what was simultaneously a sparkling cloud, a young woman, and some kind of flying lizard all at once. She was both there and not there. Essex kept a very strange set of mutants around.
�I am no mutant, Daken,� the cloud/woman/lizard informed him, a smile obvious in her voice. �But what I am would take entirely too long to explain and time is of the essence. You may call me Moonlight. I have come to help you. You may ask me three questions, and only three questions. So choose wisely.�
Daken bit his tongue to keep himself from blurting out the first few questions that popped into his head.
All would ultimately be useless. And a voice in his head was telling him that this Moonlight creature was not to be trifled with.
�Give me a moment,� he said, sitting in a chair.
�I can only give you half that,� she replied.
Daken rubbed at the bridge of his nose. His mind was reeling. Don�t ask questions that can only be answered with yes or no, he told himself. �What exactly do I need to do in order to rescue my father from Stryker for good?�
Moonlight chuckled, impressed. Her form stopped swirling and she was clearly a young woman, clad in a dress of stars. Her blue hair was tinged with the colors of sunset. �You must do that which you wish least to do,� she answered. �You will only be able to save your father with your uncle�s help. Without him, you will fail and your father will be lost forever. He will become a terrible weapon in the hands of the enemy.�
�How will I get Victor to work with me?� Daken had suspected the answer, but that made it a pill no easier to swallow.
�He has all ready begun to change and grow; something that he hasn�t done in many decades. You must accept the truth of his relationship with you father.� Moonlight tipped her head to one side. �You must also accept that you will never be your father�s lover. You are his son. And he will always love you as such. But should you continue to try to change the nature of this relationship, he will reject and ultimately destroy you. Victor is James�s partner. He is the only one who can set James to rights again.�
Daken grit his teeth. �I�m the one who can save my father,� he growled petulantly.
Moonlight shook her head, a sad smile on her face. �You must be united with your uncle, or it is your father who will pay the price. And I am almost out of time. What is your last question?�
Daken was silent for a moment. �I have this strange feeling that I am going to need your help again. How will I find you?�
Moonlight spread her arms wide, inviting Daken to embrace her. Rising, Daken walked into the hug. And walked. And walked. It was like-
The whole universe was swirling around him. He watched as galaxies were born, others died. The universe was crushing him-
Moonlight gently brushed his hair back, placing a cool kiss to his forehead. �I will always be there when you actually need me.�
And she was hugging him, squeezing him tightly.
Daken blinks.
He was the only one in the room. Except he wasn�t in Essex�s complex anymore. He was staring into the startled eyes of a giant, blue furry man. Who was taking a shower.
Looking down, Daken grinned. �Well, hello, big boy,� he purred.

Wade was not shocked to see the sparkly woman appear in the cafeteria. He was clearly the only one, as multiple guns were instantly drawn and pointed at her.
Snorting, Wade continued to calmly eat his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He held up his Jell-o cup in way of an offering. �Never mind them,� he said. �They�re just fuck nuts who have no idea how to properly greet a goddess.�
The woman tipped her head to the side in confusion, then laughed. �I�m not a goddess Wade,� she responded taking the Jell-o. It was grape, her favorite. �I�m just a semi-corporal interdimensional being. And you�re just high at the moment.� She waves a bored hand and everyone else in the room disappears. �I�m here to talk to you about James.�
�Oh, I know you�re not a real goddess, I just meant that you�re totally hot,� Wade leered.
The woman snorted, rather deliberately licking some of the Jell-o off of the spoon. After all, she had to make sure she had Wade�s full attention. �Wade, my name is Moonlight-�
�Cassandra,� Wade corrected, staring directly at Moonlight�s chest.
�What?� Moonlight was actually shocked. She didn�t realize that anyone knew Carol�s little sister�s name.
�Your name- well, technically your hostess�s name- is Cassandra Hines,� Wade explained, propping his chin up on his hand. While his eyes had moved up to her mouth, his foot was trying to inch its way up her leg.
Moonlight slapped her hands on the table. �You know what, I don�t have time for this. Normally I would do my whole transcendental schtick, but I�m just going to get right to the point.�
�Can we fuck after?�
�No.�
�Please?�
�No.�
�Damn it.�
�Wade, you need to stop fucking James and help him get out of this hell hole. His brother is coming to rescue you James, and you�re going to help him. James and Victor are meant to be together, and you are seriously getting in the way.�
Wade rolled his eyes. �Listen, Moonbeam, that�s just not going to happen-�
Moonlight grinned viciously. �Either you do what I say, or I�m going to teleport your dick into the heart of the sun. I will then make your ass irresistible to any male. And not just the human males, Wade. Newts, bears, whales, elephants will all find you unbearably attractive. But, I won�t let you die. Oh, no. I will make you fucking immortal. So you can spend the rest of eternity getting your ass pounded by anything with a dick.�
Wade actually looked disconcerted. �Can you really do that?�
�How eager are you to find out?�
�Point taken. So, what exactly is it you need me to do?�

Kyle looked suspiciously at the beer in his hand that Romulus had offered him five minutes ago. Because he was apparently the only one who could see or hear the woman in the dress of stars sitting directly across from him.
He noticed that as the evening progressed, her hair changed color to match the sky outside the plane window. And that her voice reminded him of his sixth grade teacher, who he had a major crush on back in the day. That teacher had been one of the few comforts to him as he had grown up, especially once his differences became so obvious.
Moonlight, as she had introduced herself, had been explaining to him about helping him to save James or else the world was going to explode or something. Kyle was having a hard time focusing on the exact words, being distracted by the fact that he could hear her talking with other people at the same time.
The main problem being that the other people were obviously not on the plane.
�Kyle,� she murmured, placing a hand lightly on his knee. Actually it was two of the same hand. �Are you getting any of this? It is kind of important.�
Kyle knew that no one on the plane could hear what they were saying, but he was still freaked out by the whole thing. �Could you just be one person at a time, please?� he begged. �It�s hard enough talking to a woman only I can see, but there are two of you.�
Moonlight frowned. She seemed to split into about eight women, all of whom were talking to each other all at once, before reverting to her dual female state. �Interesting,� she mused. �You can see both my current host body, and the body of the next person I will inhabit. I�m not sure why that is, but there�s nothing I can really do about it. Sorry.�
�Right,� Kyle muttered, quickly finishing the beer. He found that he didn�t particularly care for the purple haired Moonlight. But the dark haired Moonlight, the one who reminded him of his sixth grade teacher, made him ache pleasantly. He hoped he got to meet that one real soon.
�Anyway, I�m going to need you to help me with James.� Both Moonlights smiled warmly at him. �All you need to do is make sure that Victor and Daken can get into the Alkali Lake facility.� They reached into their dress and pulled out a set of keys that they held out for him to take.
Kyle eyed the keys with distrust. �Are these some weird metaphorical set of keys that are going to turn into candies or something once you disappear?�
Purple haired Moonlight laughed, dark haired Moonlight smiled. �No, they�re actually just a set of keys.� They held up the keys individually.
Purple haired Moonlight said: �This key will open the back door.� Just as dark haired Moonlight said, �This key will open the door to the main control room.�
They both said, �It�s very important that Alkali Lake is destroyed. None of the data inside can be saved, Kyle.�
Purple stressed, �No matter what Romulus asks of you, destroy it all, Kyle!�
Dark haired leaned forward and squeezed his knee. �You must destroy it, Kyle, or I won�t be able to help you.�
�I�ll do it! Just knock that shit off!�
�Knock what shit off, Kyle?�
Kyle blinked rapidly. The two in one women were gone. Romulus and Silas were staring at him. �Um, I have no idea?� he replied lamely.
