Magnum, Vanessa, Sabrina and Annabelle are at the mare's residence with Vanessa holding the wolf as he's still a little out of it, Sabrina is helping the skunk by humming to him as she pets him and Annabelle is sitting across from them looking a little defeated, her ex intruding on the session could have easily been far more disastrous then it was and after witnessing some of Magnum's power it could have gone that route.

Magnum takes a breath as he looks all around "Vanessa... Sabrina...?"

The skunk kisses him "It's alright hon, we're here."

The doe rubs his shoulder "Do you know where you are?"

The wolf looks around as his mind slowly reforges "I am... on Earth..." earning some nods "...and I'm in... Germany..." his eyes soon finding the two ladies as his mind slowly fixes itself.

Annabelle moves a little closer, she pulls out a small flashlight and begins to examine his eyes "I don't see anything that indicates any lasting damage." turning the light off a few seconds later.

Magnum sighs as he holds his head "It felt so strange... it felt like a mix of different memories and I could only watch the outcome play out."

The mare puts the flashlight away "Your instincts took over with whatever memories were flowing through your mind and by the looks of it adapted to fit the situation."

The ladies keep the wolf company as he thinks about what happened, he was reliving an argument he had with Kathleen, how he tried to get away from her somewhere between her assault and destruction, given his training and time in the void however those instincts kicked in on overdrive and the only thing that likely kept it from going further was his restraint from his will... something he has had to learn.

The door bell rings which earns the groups attention, Annabelle opens the door and standing there is a female rabbit, without the ears she's about five foot eight inches and her long ears add about a foot to her height after that, her eyes are hazel as her coat is a blend of radiant orange and white, she's wearing black high heels, a red miniskirt, a blue short sleeved shirt, a white purse hangs off her shoulder, her long hair trailing to just past her shoulders and is black, her right ear having a gold piercing towards her hair.

The mare exclaims with a grin "Saraphina!"

The rabbit smiles "Anne, it's good to see you are alright, I heard that jerk dropped in." her accent being french." as the mare welcomes her in, the rabbit sees the trio on the couch, she looks to the mare "Sorry if I interrupted anything." with some worry in her features.

"It's alright, I think we can use the distraction." with a nod.

Vanessa and Sabrina take a few glances at the rabbit with some welcoming smiles of their own but their full attention is on the wolf, the mare and lagomorph move towards them with Saraphina pulling a chair up, after some introductions with the rabbit introducing herself as Saraphina Maginot, Magnum relaxes his muscles as he finally straightens himself out. Saraphina takes the full sight of them in, she can see them practically cooing and comforting the wolf with how touchy they are... she has a feeling as to what is going on and she finds it pretty nice actually. The mystic decides to relinquish the make up as far as his facial features go which surprises the rabbit, though like with the mare he doesn't see the need to cover up in a more private setting...

Saraphina blinks a few times "You're the mystic knight that just arrived."

Magnum decides to blow their minds a little "My arrival to my homeworld wasn't in my original plans but it is kind of nice to be back." with a smirk.

The two new ladies are speechless by his words but the mare speaks up "Wait, you were born on Earth?"

The wolf gives a very stripped back summery of him being born in the United States and eventually leaving the world to try to find some sense of purpose and crusading among the heavens for about three years, developing his skills at technology and gaining that purpose... or so he thought, he then goes into meeting Vanessa and Sabrina and with it gaining a more bright insight when it came to living his life. As he talks Vanessa and Sabrina simply grin at him, they remember how much trouble he had when they met him when it came to talking and more importantly when it came to meeting someone new, especially if they were a woman, their young man really has come a long way. Annabelle and Saraphina listen to every word he speaks and they are beyond fascinated by it, they can tell he is leaving quite a few details out but either way it paints a large picture for them, particularly for the mare given her profession.

Vanessa thinks for a moment before whispering to the wolf about something which earns a slight shrug and a nod a second later, the skunk begins to explain the arrangement they have, how she and the wolf are mates with her friend Sabrina joining in the fun, the doe gives a blush as she giggles, she kisses Magnum's cheek and gives a nod. The mare blinks while the rabbit puts on a grin...

Saraphina rubs her chin for a moment "So the three of you are in a polyamory relationship?" earning a nod from the skunk "That's pretty interesting."

The skunk takes the wolfs hand "He prefers women in our age range and draws from our experiences while we do the same from his."

The mare looks to the wolf "You just keep getting more and more interesting." with a light giggle followed by the rabbit "Yeah, you seem to be quite the ladies man you young stud."

Magnum's grin becomes a little bashful as he gives a slight blush "I don't really consider myself a stud, but thank you." as he decides to remove the rest of the make up entirely, becoming more relaxed.

Annabelle and Saraphina look him over once more, in the short time the mare has known the wolf she can easily tell he's not flamboyant and a rather reclusive personality, the kind of person who would try to fade away in the middle of an explosive party. It does surprise both her and Saraphina though how modest he is, the blue markings giving a powerful but calm vibe as they find him to be quite handsome... but the mare thinks back to when Magnum attacked her ex, he uttered a name that sounded more like a curse then an actual name...

The mare adjusts herself "I am curious though Magnum, when you protected me you called my ex Kathleen... who is that?"

Magnum sighs "She's my abusive ex... after dealing with her I lost faith in women for a while and my emotional and mental health greatly suffered because of her." he puts on a smile "But then I met Vanessa and Sabrina, it's thanks to them I was able to move away from the trauma. What I needed most was support for what I was lacking in most, by the time I met them my emotions were basically destroyed and with it my confidence when it came to my looks."

Vanessa thinks back to how he was the night they took that big step, how he looked so uncomfortable before they mated, she smiles and kisses him "We wanted to see you for you, I'll never forget how much you hated yourself just because of how you looked and how you just felt very much alone."

Sabrina nods "You are a love Magnum, once we cuddle, talk or whatever, we can see the spark in your eyes come alive from our voices and touch.", she takes his other hand "You forgot what love really was and the warmth from it."

Annabelle and Saraphina are enjoying the sight and what they are hearing, the clear support and love between the three is simply marvelous. The ladies giving Magnum the proper support he needs while he provides them with what they require, the mare thinks about some of her past patients and what she has studied, it's definitive that he prefers women in an older range due to better emotional and mind maturity along with their experience which is very likely, what Magnum brings to the table is his energy, youth and wonder along with whatever he shares with them. But what really invigorates her is that they helped bring him off a very destructive brink with their own form of therapy, showing how much strength they helped him achieve when it comes to his health is nothing short of extraordinary.

The rabbit looks to Vanessa and Sabrina "I wish more women were like the both of you, the women on Earth could really use the example, in particularly the West."

The mare nods "Men's health is usually completely overlooked, it's refreshing to see someone take it seriously."

Vanessa nods "Men need love too, they are flesh and blood like us and not machines.", she kisses his cheek "A lot of people forget that."

Saraphina thinks for a moment, she looks to the mare "Can they come with us on our night out?"

Annabelle isn't sure about the thought as she raises an eyebrow as Magnum is her patient, but it couldn't hurt as her intrigue is sparked by both the wolf and the ladies with him, she gives a grin "If they are available they are more then welcome to join in."

Vanessa and Sabrina glance to the wolf as he gives a nod "We don't have any plans, what time and where do you want to meet up?"

The skunk and doe are surprised by this, they can feel faint shaking in his hands but they can tell he's trying to be more outgoing then he was in the past, he's still trying to grow...

The trio get the time and are told they can meet up with the mare and rabbit at Annabelle's place, they head up to the dreadnought to get prepared with the duo also saying they can bring a few to accompany them if they want to. They decide to invite Bensen and Marie as they could use some rest and relaxation before the enemy really starts grinding against them, Magnum does invite the other leaders but they are too occupied with their duties in fortifying the defensive line with what they can.

Elvo appears in his quarters "The enemy hasn't moved since their arrival but we are picking up comm chatter, it's scrambled however."

The wolf raises an eyebrow "They aren't trying to screen us?"

"Not by the looks of it." the coyote shaking her head.

Magnum freezes at that, why wouldn't they want to try to get a reading on their defenses? Are they really that confident in their forces? If so then there's something really going on...

Magnum begins looking over schematics for his buster rifle 'We've tested it and the trials are promising, the enemy will taste it's wrath soon enough.'

Elvo looks to her brother "I will keep you informed if the enemy makes any progress.", she puts on a smirk "In the meantime, I hope you and the others have some fun. Moments like these are good for morale."

The wolf brings up a few possible projections for the enemy strength "I want updates on the mystic gate.", he looks to her "Also, if you read powerful energy signatures where the enemy is, alert me and send in recon drones."

The coyote puts on a more serious look before giving a nod "Affirmative.", she puts a hand on his shoulder "I understand how bad the situation is, but it's all the more reason to enjoy ourselves while we still can."

Magnum glances to her, he knows she's right about that... truth be told he's still trying to find a balance between duty and relaxing, being a knight non-stop has given him a hard mindset to shake indeed, at least completely. He shrugs it off for now given his suit can be deployed rapidly and can be back in space in no time if push goes to shove plus his allies have what they need to mount a powerful defense and the alert systems are in place. The group heading down finishes getting ready and meets up with Annabelle and Saraphina, Bensen and Marie introduce themselves to the two ladies and the group of seven heads out on the town with the mare giving a tour as they go along. For those that came with the wolf they are amazed by the german architecture and the art deco in many spots, they have seen pictures and images onboard the dreadnought but to see it in person speaks to them a lot louder.

As they move around the mare and rabbit take glances at the wolf and the ladies with him, they can see the shine in his eyes as they move and the spring in his steps being clear as day... what has them curious though is why they said what they said...

The small crowd make it to where a local party is taking place, everyone basically breaking away with Magnum wanting to simply explore his surroundings while Bensen and Marie join those on the dance floor, as for Vanessa and Sabrina they pull the rabbit and mare aside so that they can have a little chat.

Saraphina looks to the two "How are all of you finding our world so far?"

Vanessa eyes the rabbit "Earth is a little strange and interesting, so many different cultures and histories all rolled up into one." with a grin.

"And sadly a lot of conflict." the mare giving a sigh "It is unlikely we'll ever be suited for a global goal that'll empower us to your level any time soon. Too many are trying to gain power as the West is stuck in political infighting while the Middle East and those from it try to destroy everything in their path."

Sabrina thinks for a moment "Should Magnum and the others prevail, they'll do what is needed to help Earth and set it right."

The rabbit sighs "I hope so, our leaders are incompetent and too caught up in their ego to have common sense.", she takes a breath "But on a more positive note, we want to know more about you ladies." ending in a grin.

Sabrina and Vanessa begin to share with Annabelle and Saraphina who they are back home, how the skunk is a make up artist and Sabrina is an actress, it is also here they find out the rabbits career is being a paramedic but she use to be an exotic dancer. The four ladies get lost in conversation with the skunk and doe sharing some of their experiences with the mystic wolf, how being the knight he is prevented another war in their system and how he stood his ground against a mystic fox to his very last breath and coming out on top towards the end. But more importantly they speak of how he means to them, how he's always there and cares for them, how he tries to process things he doesn't quite understand and that he's helped in making their lives brighter. Sabrina takes it upon herself to ask if Vanessa's children know and to hers and the mares surprise it turns out that they do, they were stunned by it at first but they accepted it after they processed the whole situation.

The skunk and doe share how they comfort him, how they love on him, their voices and touch soothing him when they are near, how they help bolster his morale and emotions with proper support, the truth is that they give him that balance he needs as his emotions were ravaged and that even the wolf himself doubts he'll fully recover from what he went through. For Annabelle and Saraphina, they are amazed at how strong they are and are happy that Magnum was able to find a pair of powerful women to help keep him on track. When it comes to the ladies themselves, Sabrina herself is happy to finally have a guy who really supports her despite what happened to her and it grew to a wonderful connection, for Vanessa, she admits she wasn't expecting to fall for him at least at first, she set aside her personal life to raise her children as she wanted that to be her focus and she was worried about finding someone as she wasn't sure how Bensen and Marie would respond to it. The explains that he rescued her from a thug and that he became a sugar baby so that he could get his vessel fixed, the arrangement was so she could also have some company and wanted to get to know the knight first hand, it just took off from there as Magnum slowly opened up and learned from her that not all women want to destroy him and more important not to fear them as he had a pretty strong from of gynophobia.

What really helped was that he was able to freely cry in front of her as she embraced him as he told the skunk everything, she remembers the nightmare he use to have where he would twist and turn, cry and call for help as he sounded in pain... he still does on occasion but no where near as bad as it use to be. For the skunk she felt honored that he was sharing with her and after talking to his sister finding out just how vulnerable he really was, How from all the talking and being together lead to her developing feelings for him as she fully realized just how lonely she was, that she decided to make Magnum her mate with the best part being that he and her children get along really well.

Annabelle and Saraphina take all the information in, eventually glancing to the mystic himself... he had been hurt pretty badly some of the women on their world and gave up on them as a result and hearing it took mainly these two in helping restore his faith in confidence in women is nothing short of a miracle and they feel bad for his rotten luck early on as one bad experience can leave a permanent impression which Annabelle is all too familiar with given it's basic psychology.

The rabbit looks to the pair "It's a good thing he ran into the both of you, you pulled him out of a very dark place." earning a warm nod from the mare.

Annabelle crosses her arms "I concur, the both of you are very strong in helping him, such a thing isn't easy to tackle."

Vanessa gives a warm grin "Thank you, that means a lot."

Sabrina glances to him "He crashed on our world by accident and got so much out of it.", she looks back at the pair "He maybe as stern as steel, but he's kind of soft once you get to know him."

Vanessa begins to think if she should come out ask the both of them, true they were simply thinking of talking to the mare about it but maybe both could join in on helping them with Magnum given they have an idea of his past and where he stands now. But she also knows they just met and don't really know him either or her and Sabrina, she decides to simply wait and let it play out as it is what Magnum would want and it's how the three of eventually formed the bond they have now. The feeling the skunk gets from the pair is that they seem to have a good head on their shoulders and they've been around the block a few times...

Annabelle catches out of the corner of her eye her ex which earns a scoff from the mare, he hasn't seen her yet but it's only a matter of time... but Magnum has also caught sight of him too, the wolf begins to debate of how to handle this situation, given what happened last time he is sure the stallion wants to even the score.

Floyd's eyes are looking around for the nearest bar, after the evnts of today he just wants a drink, he eventually finds it and orders one, his mind going to the mare he recently lost as he sucks it down, he begins to wonder what could have been if he made the right choices and talked to her more as he reflects on trying to handle the situation in barging into her office... he eyes his empty glass as he looks back at the past twenty years, realizing all the missed opportunities, how he wasn't really a partner in most cases.

The stallion sighs to himself 'I want to try to talk to her, I just don't know how.' his mind goes to the wolf that blasted him through the door earlier 'And as for that wolf... I wouldn't want to get on his bad side, if he can do that with one punch I hate to see what else he can do...'

Floyd gives a sigh as he orders another drink, out of the corner of his eye he can see the wolf in the background which causes him to stiffen a little, on a hunch he glances around and sees his ex-wife hanging out with Saraphina and the skunk and doe from earlier, he begins to wonder if he should go up to her and try to talk as hopeless as it really is...

Magnum is eyeing the stallion closely, he isn't being aggressive as far as he can tell but he does notice his shift in demeanor, to the mystic he just seems to be sad and upset, the wolf decides to keep his distance... if the worse comes he'll take care of it. Magnum notices Vanessa waving him over, he gives her a nod and begins making his way over to her, for a moment his eyes and the stallions line up, the gaze from the lupus cutting through that of the equines in an instant.

Magnum makes it over to the ladies "Is everything alright?"

The skunk nods "It's all going well hon."

The mare looks to him "I was thinking we could go somewhere else, my ex husband is here and I'm sure he's working up the courage to talk to me."

The wolf raises an eyebrow "I don't think he'll bother you here, there's too many people.", he glances to the stallion "Besides, it looks like he's too focused on drinking to care."

Annabelle sighs "Exactly, after he's had a few he'll try to approach me.", she looks to him "I have said what I needed to, we tried to work it out but he's just too stubborn."

Bensen approached them, he looks to Magnum "I hate to interrupt but that stallion keeps looking at you... I think he wants to talk."

The wolf looks to the stallion who gives a subtle wave, Magnum gives a sigh "What the heck I'll amuse him."

The mare blinks "Be careful Magnum, he can get very hot headed if you press too hard."

"I can make him chill out if it comes to it." as he begins to make his way over to him.

Annabelle blinks, she from what she's seen and heard she know Magnum can handle him... she's just worried how far Floyd will carry this.

The wolf makes it to the stallion "May I help you?" as he takes a seat next to the horse.

Floyd looks to the wolf "Maybe, you are my ex's new patient. I apologize for what happened. I was just trying to get her attention."

"Doing that almost brought about your death." the wolf not even flinching.

The stallion sighs "That and now the police are looking for me." he takes a sip of his drink "I've made some terrible choices with her and I aim to make it right." he looks to him again "I think you may understand, we all go through a rough patch."

Magnum isn't too sure what to say but he decides to wing it "I don't know your situation, but from what I gather she simply wants to be left alone, we all make choice we have to live with and some we just can't fix."

Floyd nods "I understand, but I want to at least try."

The wolf takes in how much of a wreck he looks, physically he's fine but he can see it in his eyes, the sadness, anger and confusion... it honestly reminds him of who he use to be to an extent, the only real difference was that it was another extreme at an opposite end. He has no idea how to tackle any of it and now he's in one heck of a spot, his brain beginning to try to come up with scenarios and how they may lead... all in all he goes with the best choice given the lack of information and that he really doesn't have a take in the situation...

Magnum sighs "I don't understand the situation and to be realistic there is nothing I can do.", he gets up "The best thing I can say is try to move on... for your sake." and begins to walk away.

The stallion sighs, catching the wolfs gaze "Yeah, you are right... I am just desperate." he looks to him "I made so many terrible choices, I never paid much attention to her and I was a terrible husband, I just never realized it. We just stayed together because it was easier for the children to grow up with both parents, the problem is that I wasn't there enough and I was a punk, by the time I realized the outcome it was way too late."

The ladies and Bensen watch from a distince as Magnum's features go from practically stone face to curious and then a litlle sympathetic as he continues to talk to the stallion, the wolf glances to them then back to the stallion as he seems to be thinking, he says something to Floyd and heads back over to the group.

Vanessa raises folds her arms "How did it go?"

Magnum's go back and forth few a few moments before settling on Annabelle "By any chance, can you talk to him one last time?", the mare goes to speak but Magnum raises a hand in a halt motion which forces her to stop "He and I talked, it's finally sunk in that he knows the situation isn't going to go the way he initially thought, he just wants to talk to you one last time.", he lowers his hand "If you want Bensen and I can go over with you for security."

The mare looks to her ex for a few moments, she looks to the wolf "I'll do it, hopefully he'll get the message this time. Please come with me."

The three head over to the stallion with Magnum and Bensen acting like knights protecting an escort, Magnum has Bensen move to behind the stallion while Magnum stays near Annabelle.

Annabelle gives a sigh "What do you want Floyd?" as she takes a seat next to him.

The stallion looks to her "I just... want to say good bye and that I am sorry, I wasn't there enough, I made a lot of terrible investments and I just took you for granted.", he sighs "I know you'll never forgive me, but I'll hope you do in time. Our kids do keep asking me what happend."

The mare blinks, she rubs her eyes "Floyd... our children have to understand that things simply didn't work out for us and it happens. You did try to grab me here and there but you never even attempted to hit me and you never yelled at me either, I just wanted a partner who's there and be more intimate.", she puts on a more warm smile "But I didn't take you for granted, I was always grateful that we were able to comfortably raise our family as I was enlisted and getting my education. You need to find someone or something that makes you happy and learn from our past, it's all part of life Floyd, we all make mistakes, we learn and apply it as best we can. And you are right, it'll take some time for me to fully forgive you, but I don't hate you, I just need some space and time.... maybe in the future we can talk but the most we can be is just friends, if anything comes up when it comes to our children we'll both be there for them. Can you accept that?"

Floyd gives a sad nod "Y-Yeah, looks like I'm going to have to. I need some time too I think to clear my head."

Annabelle pulls out a piece of paper and a pen, she writes down some information, she holds it out to him "Call these people up and they'll help you land on your feet."

The stallion gently takes the paper "Thank you Annabelle, I hope in the future we can talk, it would be great to hear from you.", in a single gulp he finishes his drink, he looks to the wolf and without thinking "I know you are her patient, but please take care of her."

Before Magnum or Annabelle can respond he gets up and walks out of the establishment, Bensen looks to the wolf and the canine just looks confused, he finally shrugs and tells the skunk he can go back to enjoying himself. Bensen relaxes his muscles and heads back onto the dance floor with his sister as the wolf sits next to the mare, Annabelle looks to the wolf with a warm grin while Vanessa, Sabrina and Saraphina join the pair, the skunk and doe sitting to his right while the rabbit joins the mare.

"Magnum, I know it's was a little crazy, but thank you for your help."

The wolf looks to her in confusion "I didn't really do anything."

"Wrong, you are a third party and your more neutral stance helped balance it out, Floyd now understands and knows where I stand and he can heal and move on, to be fair I was a little brash with him as well.", she rubs the back of her neck "Given what has happened, I think it may be a little inappropriate for you to be my patient... officially of course. But maybe we can be friends." gaining a little spark.

Saraphina eyes him "I would like to get to know you a little better as well, I'm sure you can find some time to hang out with some ladies like us?"

Magnum thinks back to the conversation he had with Vanessa, he mentally gulps to himself "Uh, yeah sure. I can have my sister bring some communicators to the both of you and..."

Sabrina chimes in "When would either of you like to meet up with him?"

The wolf gives himself a sigh in his mind 'Of course... hopefully I can manage this along with my dad and whatever else is going on.' doubting his words.

To be continued...
