"Ashe? You out here?" Ilaria held open the rear door to the lab, leaning out with her feet still inside the building. Spotting the girl ambling about aimlessly towards the next building she shouted, "Hey Ashe! This way, hon!"

"Ilaria?" The arctic wolf slowed to a halt and swiveled her ears in all directions until she found the squeak of the door hinge. "Sorry... Sort of forgot where I was going."

"Need a paw getting over the lip?" Ilaria finally stepped out the building and stopped the door with her good footpaw, leaning forward on the other in case she needed to lift Ashe onto the loading dock.

A light bark from India told Ashe there was a large obstacle in her way, but with Ilaria's words she felt comfortable mantling the concrete. "Nah, just hold the door? Indy, jump up."

Ilaria watched as the puppy hunched down a bit and then cleanly cleared the meter-high dock with close to no preparing movement. When she brought her guild bar into Ashe's paw the two continued without delay. "That's pretty impressive, the way you two work together."

Walking inside with Indy's guidance Ashe informed, "Well we've had a pawful of years to practice."

"That's nice. Must be good to have a friend like that." Ari closed the door and caught up with Ashe. "So I'm surprised my brother just dropped you off like that. And that he called me instead of Dee, actually."

"Dropped me... Sorry, I don't really remember how I got here..." Ashe paused to follow Indy around a stool and then continued to the desks in the corner.

With a frown Ari went back towards the firing chamber saying, "That's precisely why we need to get you off that crap, Ashe. The drawbacks are way too bad." She popped her head in the door and mentioned, "Hey, Ashe is here if you wanna say 'Hi' or something."

"Oh, that's what that call was about?" Adrian commented as he put down a rifle and a screwdriver. "Sure, I'll take a break. I hate setting sights anyway."

"Well I need a clean shot if I'm gonna test that thing," Ilaria clarified as she led Dee out the chamber and waved a paw to their desks. "I'll get it if you want to grab a battery though."

"Sure. I'll grab one on the way back." Dee made his way over to the front and sat on his desk. "Heya, hon. What brings you here?"

"I just wanted to help out," Ashe answered as she pulled her laptop out her bag. "Just let me find a place to plug this in and I'll try and be helpful."

"I appreciate the notion but you don't need to do anything, Ashe. But here, let me get that for you." Grabbing the chunky charging cord Dee brought the pronged end to a wall socket next to his desk, hovering a moment near the girl as he then connected the other end to the laptop. With a few distinct sniffs he furled his eyebrows and asked, "Hey, why do you smell like my man?"

"Like your man?" Ashe lifted the lid to her busted-up laptop and listened for a beep that signaled the charger was working. "Oh right, Iolvin. I... think he drove me here."

"No, you're not getting me. You ~really~ small like him hon. It almost reeks of..." Dee spotted something in the girl's shoulder fur and leaned forward, rage filling his eyes as he realized what the dot of brilliant fuchsia actually was. "You BITCH!" he suddenly shouted, a webbed paw slamming against the side of Ashe's face.

"Ah!" cried Ashe as she nearly slammed her head into the wall due to not being able to see or prepare for the hit. "I'm--!"

As soon as she recoiled that paw was right back across her muzzle, this time causing Ashe to collapse to the floor and bang her head on the side of the desk. "You stay the FUCK away from him, you WHORE! How DARE you!?"

Starting to hyperventilate Ashe coiled herself up into a ball and pleaded, "P-please!... I'm s-sorry! Don't hit m-me!..." She raised an arm to cover her throbbing face and quite blindly batted the air with the other. "Please!... I'll be a g-good girl... I swear!"

"Don't even try, honey. That poor blind girl act won't work on me." Dee picked up the wolf girl's laptop and yanked the cord out abruptly. With an anger-induced twitch starting to show itself he growled out, "I'm gonna beat the shit out of you if I ever see you in the same room as my Yoyo." Then Dee took the laptop and slammed it to the ground near Ashe demanding, "Now get the fuck out of my sight."

Only, the laptop didn't land on the ground as intended. Instead it cracked against the top of her head before the hinge snapped against the wall. Then in turn a paw came to crack against Dee's jaw. "Enough! The hell's gotten into you!?" Ilaria stood next to Dee with a flabbergasted look on her face, the two silently trading sentiments until Dee took a step back.

"D-daddy... I'm sorry daddy..." Ashe huffed in a high pitch as her lungs tried to keep up with her racing heart.

"Look what you've done to her, Dee. Fuck me, she's lost it." Ilaria knelt down with a groan due to her leg, peeling Indy away from licking her master to check the damage. Finding a liberal amount of blood in beautifully white hair she parted random swatches until she found the small gash that leaked the red liquid. "Get the first aid kit, fast."

"She can get it herself, the bi--"

"No, she can't. She's BLIND Dee," Ilaria made very clear as she got up to a knee and bared her teeth at the other otter. "Now get the damn kit before I really get mad."

"I-I'll cook pork chops, your favorite..." Ashe rolled herself over to face away from the others, her body pinned against the wall by her encroaching puppy. "Just let me... rest a minute..."

"Sprite! Can you help!?" Ari tried desperately as the girl's words started making less sense. A chirp never hit her phone, but the fairy girl fluttered over, expanded a paw into gel, and then placed it over Ashe's wound. "Thanks. Can you call Robyn back here to help out?"

Rather than her phone, the work computer on Dee's desk faded into the text, <Mistress, it is our pleasure to serve.> A slow nod of the AI's head and a gentle curtsey complimented her message.

As Indy licked at the blood-tinted fur on her face Ashe mumbled, "Thank you... don't have to... sister..."

"Sister?" Ilaria gave the words a bit of thought as she brushed away bits of plastic and metal from the laptop so the wolf girl wouldn't hurt herself further. "Poor girl... He didn't have to knock the sense out of you..."

"She deserved it. She fucked my Yoyo," commented Dee as he tossed the first aid kit into Ari's lap. "Not sure what's bringing all this on but I'm not at all sorry I knocked the bitch out."

"Out?" Ilaria looked over and saw Ashe was zonked out, though breathing at a more regulated rate. "Shit, Dee... She might have a concussion or something. That's the last thing she should be doing."

"What's going--? Gods, Ashe!" Robyn bursted out as she came in and spotted the girl and her blood.

"Dee hit her. Still need to hear the story on that one." Taking a moment to silently plead for help with her eyes and receiving nothing positive back from Dee, Ari moved on to Robyn saying, "Give me a paw? Need to get her laying down on a table if I'm gonna stitch up that gash in her forehead."

"S-Sure..."

---

"Mnn..." Ashe stirred from her little nap, finding herself both on her side and with an unidentified arm draped over her shoulder. "Hey... Who's there?"

"Oh, you're finally awake. You alright, hon?" Ilaria asked from behind the girl, sitting up to look her over.

Her paw raising up to touch her scalp Ashe answered, "My head really hurts and..." Ashe found the gauze wrapped around her forehead and started following it around the back of her pointy ear. "...something's on me."

"Just a few stitches, Ashe. Did 'em myself, so you know they're good hehe." Ari pulled the curious paw down from Ashe's head and said, "The less you mess with it the faster it'll heal, hon."

"I'd take that advice. Ari here's beaten herself up enough," Robyn suddenly commented as she sat down next to the two. Taking Ashe's other paw and placing two pills inside she added, "Here, I grabbed some ibuprofen. Should help with the pain for now."

Dropping the pills to the floor the wolf girl meekly mumbled, "I d-don't want those... "

Ari placed a paw on Ashe's back and rubbed up and down slowly. "There's nothing bad, Ashe. We're not drugging you or anything. Trust me?"

Robyn shook out another pair of pills and placed them in the girl's paw. Reaching for the next table over she snatched up a bottle of water and placed it in Ashe's other paw. "There you go, love. I didn't know what you liked so I hope water's right."

"Yeah... It's fine..." Ashe popped the pills in her muzzle and then fumbled with the cap on the bottle. After a quick swig and a squinting gulp she threw out the question on her mind. "Where's Adrian?"

"He's in the other room. I think he's avoiding you." Ari mentioned as she looked into the firing chamber and spied on the troubled otter.

"I think he's avoiding you, Ottah." Robyn moved her stool closer Ari and gave her a little leg rub. "He said you hit him back and was all tousled over it."

"Hey, he hurled a laptop at a defenseless girl. Gods save me if I get emotional sometimes." Ari placed a paw on Robyn's for a moment to show her appreciation and then brought both to Ashe's neck and shoulder. "And don't you worry about that, Ashe. I think he's calmed down."

"But he's mad at me! He hit me so... that means he's mad and I've been a bad girl." Ashe curled up tighter into a ball and hid her head under her arms. "I don't wanna be a bad girl!"

"No, no honey..." Ari slid onto her side again and cuddled the wolf from behind. "I'll talk to Dee for you if you want. He just found things out suddenly and blew it out of proportion, I'm sure."

"I don't know why you've got his knickers in a bunch but Dee's never been much of a guy to get violent," Robyn mentioned as she leaned against Ari.

"She's right. Dee isn't normally like that." Ilaria hugged Ashe tighter and glided a paw up and down her neck. "So no need to be worried. What's done is done and all."

"But... I've been bad?..." Ashe squirmed in Ari's arms as she thought about what happened earlier. "Adrian wouldn't have hurt me unless I was bad... Only bad girls get punished..."

"Ashe, honey..." Ilaria squeezed the girl a bit tighter and tried to calm her down. "Shh... Shh... You've been a good girl, Ashe. Just forget about it and rest, alright?"

Ashe started to do as she was told, but was soon tensed up like a wound spring when she hear someone open and shut a door. "Gods, is that him!? No no no no no! I need to hide! Let go of me!"

"Shh... It's just my brother, Ashe," Ilaria informed the girl as she held her in place.

"Hey guys... What's going on here?" Iolvin asked as he walked in from the back door with Sandy in tow only to find the three huddled over a table. "Is now a bad time or...?"

"Just a little fight. We've got it under control now but you might want to check on Dee," Ari explained as she went back to stroking Ashe's neck to calm her down.

"Yeah... I'll do that," Yoyo responded back with a hint of knowing dread in his tone of voice. "Well I just wanted to show you who I found out of the blue..."

"Cassie!?" Robyn almost cheered as she ran to attempt tackling the larger jaguar to the floor. When her attack was decidedly thwarted it turned into a friendly hug. "You're back! Good to see you, girl!"

"Hey, squirrelly. How's it been?" Sandy smiled back as she lifted Robyn up with a bear hug.

"Oh, bit of this, bit of that." Robyn took a step back and gave her old friend a good looking over. "Still the same sexy kitty I see."

"Likewise, gal. Short is the new sexy you know." Sandy slid to the side to peek around Iolvin and rested her eyes on Ilaria. "And from Yoyo here I hear you're in ~lurrrve~?"

"That's my big, glowin' love muffin, yeah." Robyn spun around to lock eyes with her lover and explained, "I'd say we should catch up but Ari's dealing with a situation."

"That blind girl from earlier..." Sandy mentioned as she eyed the wolf's wound.

"Earlier...?" Robyn walked over and went to rub Ashe's shoulder, the girl ducking the joint down to avoid contact. "Sorry, hon..."

"Yeah, I'll explain lat--" Yoyo started when he was suddenly interrupted.

Almost kicking the firing chamber door down Dee stomped out and slapped Yoyo across the face. "Fucking idiot! How could you!?"

"Baby, not here. Please." He put a paw to his face in reaction to the pain but otherwise appeared unfazed by the slap.

A whine came from Ashe as in the newfound silence everyone could hear, "No no no nooooo! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" barely escape through her ragged breathing.

Adrian turned to look at the wolf girl having a panic attack and then slowly panned across the others, his nose purposefully giving Sandy a sniff. Grabbing Iolvin's wrist he started back towards the firing chamber and grumbled out, "Fine. But don't think you're getting out of this just because they're here, mister."

Dee forced Yoyo into a seat while he closed the door behind them, only to use the minor height advantage of standing before Yoyo to press for answers. "You're getting way too worked up over this, babe. I mean, I know what it looks like but it wasn't--"

"Bullshit. That poor girl came in here REEKING of you. Not to mention she didn't do the best job of cleaning herself up." Dee huffed out a sigh as he started pacing back and forth. "I can sort of understand Ari, in whatever weird logic there is to make that work... But I never thought you'd really cheat on me!"

"I didn't!" Yoyo took a deep breath and then forced himself to see things from a fresh perspective. "Ugh... Okay. I cheated on you. But I didn't start things, I swear. It was a misunderstanding."

"A WHAT? How can sex be a fucking misunderstanding?" The smaller otter halted his pacing and looked into Yoyo's eyes.

"Damnit... Okay, the whole story then. We were going to drop Ashe off here and she started going down on me in the jeep. And I tried to stop her but I was getting on the highway. And you know you could die even with your full concentration on that damn onramp by home..." Dee stared back, unable to believe what Yoyo was saying and looking quite pissed as a result. "Look, she was high as a kite. She just took a hit of that coke or whatever the fuck it is. She thought she was doing the right thing and refused to take no for an answer."

"So that's the excuse your going with? She was on drugs?" Adrian sighed again and looked to the arctic wolf through the bullet resistant glass. "Okay, I'll give you that one maybe. But how in the gods' names could she justify blowing a taken guy in a car heading to his mate's work?"

"Hon, I can't speak for her. But she did say it was just what furs did when they got a free ride. I'm not sure, but I think she used to offer favors for things like car rides." Yoyo grabbed both of Dee's wrists and held him still, obviously bothered by his mannerisms. "Babe, just think about the day you guys found her. You told me yourself she was willing to sex up some random guys on a train."

Adrian stood still, but shook Iolvin from his wrists. Staring back at Ashe and then down to Yoyo he said, "She... yeah. So... say I believe you. How do we handle this? I mean, I need to know if you're susceptible to this in the future... and if you liked it..."

"Physically... yes, I did. I'm not ashamed to admit my sex drive's working as intended." Yoyo grabbed a wrist again and suddenly pulled Dee into his lap to continue, "But there was nothing else there. Sex is just sex without love in the mix. And I..." He pulled Dee closer into a hug. "...love..." His arms slid upward and a kiss landed on Dee's neck. "...you." A final kiss planted on Dee's cheek.

"But... you're into girls too..." Dee leaned back into the embrace and turned to look a bit more seriously into his lover's eyes. "I mean, do I have to just accept that you'll want things I can't give?"

"Babe, it was a blowjob. I'm sure you could manage better." Yoyo started to smile but held it back when Dee didn't take the joke. "Okay, I see what you're saying. It doesn't change anything. Without you everything I could ever do with another fur is INFERIOR. Plain and simple."

"So... are you thinking about having sex with others then?" Dee started to mumble as his tone went a more depressing route.

"Well don't take this the wrong way, okay?" As Dee nodded Yoyo sat the two of them up straight and looked into Dee's eyes. "I had sex with Robyn since we were together. And I know that sounds bad, but I was sleeping and sort of started it dreaming of Lulu. And it's been bugging me since I did it, because I was worried you'd leave me if you knew." Yoyo broke eye contact and stared at the floor, disgraced by his own words. "You mean more to me than anything I've ever known, and I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I ever lost you."

Dee slowly reached out and pulled Yoyo's muzzle so they faced each other. "It's unfortunate, but if you feel that way then it's alright. It was an accident." He gave yoyo a quick kiss and then said, "If you still care about me like that, I can't hold it against you. But I still have to figure out what to do with you and your sister. I mean, if you're dreaming about her and all..."

"It's strange for me too, but I have this sort of link with her. I dunno." Yoyo gave back another kiss and then said, "But you're always the top of my list, babe. Don't you worry. I love you."

Adrian peeked back out to spy on Ilaria again and then returned his attention to Iolvin. "I love you too, sweetie. But if you love your sister that way she needs to be a part of ~our~ life and not just ~yours~, alright? Until the day comes that we draw a line anyway."

"That's... good. That's why I love you so damn much, baby." Yoyo stood up, using his size to simply carry Dee to his footpaws as well. "We can work things out as they come, but for now I have someone I'd like you to meet. Sound doable, or would you like some time?"

"Well if you mean that girl out there all I want to know is why she smells like you and Ari," Dee grumbled as he was put down.

"Sandy uh... She sort of got caught up in our little mess earlier." Yoyo took a quick look at the girl's messy, damp hair and couldn't hold back a chuckle. "She interrupted us at the end in the parking lot and sort of got in the line of fire. But trust me, that sort of thing happens to her all the time."

"So... That explains why she looks like she took a hobo shower." Dee went for the door and paused with his paw on the handle. "Thank you for being open with me, Yoyo. That's all I ever wanted, and I got so damn angry when I thought you were hiding all that from me."

"Yeah... Well I sort of ran off with Sandy at first so I'm not all that innocent I guess." Yoyo went towards the door and placed his paw over Dee's. "Now come on. I think you need to apologize to someone before that coke drives her crazy."

Dee half-smiled as he opened the door and walked up to Sandy, putting Ashe on the backburner until he got his nerves about him. "Hi. Sandy, was it? I'm Adrian, or Dee as these guys call me."

"Cassandra, actually. Call me whatever though, I've heard them all." Looking over to Iolvin she asked with a smile, "So this is the wonderful 'Dee' that saves you from your life of man-whoring?"

"Hey, I'm not like I was first time around in college, Sandy," Yoyo snickered back. "Besides, I seem to remember a certain someone being proud her number was always higher than mine when it wasn't..."

"Well I'm not counting the times my dates woke up and found you naked around the place. Only the first hit makes the list!"

"Wait I'm lost," Dee interrupted the two.

"Sandy here was my roomie in college. The dorm the first two years and an apartment the last two." With a grin Yoyo appended, "And all four years she had a habit of walking in on me and my friends having a good time."

"Always the crude one, Yoyo. At least he never got covered in my..." Sandy stopped herself from continuing and cracked her neck out of nervous habit. "Sorry, let's just say we had a lot of awkward moments."

"Dee knows about earlier, Sandy. It's alright." Looking over to the three girls huddled over each other on the far side of the room Yoyo then added, "And now that I think of it, weren't you going to do something babe...?"

"Well I've never had to apologize like this before, so excuse me if I'm a little nervous. Now if you'll excuse me..." Dee took a long breath and closed his eyes before heading over to make good on the situation. "Hey guys, can I say something to Ashe in private?"

As the wolf cringed and started hyperventilating in response to Adrian's voice Ilaria answered a clear, "No. If you have anything to say you can do it with me here. Have you even seen what you've done to the poor girl?"

"Fair enough..." Dee reached out to part Ashe's hair and better spot the damage he'd done but Ari mentally batted him away with a stern stare and a shake of the head. "Right, whatever. Ashe, I'm sorry I hit you. Yoyo told me what happened and... Well the drugs were at fault, not you. Just try not to do it again, alright?"

"I don't really follow," Robyn chimed in as she sat forward in her seat.

"Same here, but it's okay. A step in the right direction." Ari stared back at Dee as she dropped her head to rest on Ashe's. "But I don't think Dee here gets the extent of the damage he's done..."

Dee sighed as he hunched down toward the girl. "I'm sorry, Ashe. I really am. I shouldn't have lost it and beating you was way over the line." He put a paw on Ashe's chin but she pulled herself away immediately with a shiver. "I can't take it back, but I'll try to make it up to you somehow."

Ari huffed out a sigh as picked up real remorse in Dee's voice. Looking down to the floor where Sprite pointlessly tried to rebuild the broken laptop she said, "You can start by getting her a new computer. I think that one's seen it's final day." She started stroking Ashe's shoulder and added, "Then you can find us where to start with making her some oxydium. If drugs made her cross you on top of the other crap they do to her... then we have an obligation to get her off them."

"Ottah..." Robyn stood, walked into Ilaria's view, and started combing a paw through her hair. "Does that mean you're really thinking of breaking the law? I mean, I think it's for a good cause but it's still dangerous..."

"A little less dangerous though," Iolvin started as he brought Sandy over to the group. "You see, Sandy here is taking pictures for the school's science department brochure. And guess what we have on property?" When everyone just shrugged their shoulders in response Yoyo excitedly informed, "There's a state of the art chemical laser, and Sandy has a badge that opens the door."

"Wait, you mean we can cross that off the list?" Ari asked as she propped herself up to face her twin brother, Ashe only curling up tighter in her absence.

"Correct," Cassandra stated. "Only there's a catch. I think I can just trick security into thinking I need better equipment and a crew to set up shots in that large room. If we can work out who and what's going, I think we can get away with things. Especially if it means Yoyo here owes me for once."

"You hear that, Ashe? We're one step closer to helping you out!" cheered Ilaria, to which the girl only hid herself further. "I uh... I think we should let Ashe have some time alone. Dee, that gun ready for testing?"

Adrian stared at Ashe a moment before registering the question. "Sorry, uh... Yeah, the rifle's zeroed and all. We can take care of that test whenever you want."

"I can take Ashe to the couch near my desk if you'd like," Robyn proposed as she helped Ari get off the table.

"I don't think she wants to move," Dee mentioned, his very words proving his point as Ashe backed into the void Ari left behind.

"No, I think it's you," Ari corrected. Standing up straight with a little stretch she added, "It'll take time but she's scared of you, Dee. Robyn, when we go you can try moving her. Don't force it, but if she can spend the day away from Dee it might be better. At least until the drugs are out her system."

"But... I apologized to her..."

Taking Dee by the shoulder and walking him toward the firing chamber Ari told Dee, "She was mumbling a lot of repressed crap earlier. I think you shook some stuff loose when you scared her earlier."

"Well do you think she'll be alright? Anything I can help with?" he whispered back, trying to keep his voice down so Ashe wouldn't hear.

Ari grabbed the door handle and held the portal open for Dee. "I hope the oxydium helps. I mean, we can't really help her get around deeper issues if she's high all the time." As Dee entered the chamber she held the door a minute and said, "Hey, I'll see you at home lil' bro. And nice seeing you back in town, Cassie."

"Later Lulu," Yoyo waved back.

"Yeah, later Lulu. We should grab a coffee later," Sandy smiled back as well.

"Yeah, that would be nice. Later, girl."

"Wait, I though that was just a Yoyo nickname," said Dee almost in the form of a question.

"Hey, you'd say it too if that's all your roommate ever called me," Ari answered back as she saddled up in the shooter's seat and tried to get the gun stock in a good position. "Admit it, you've wanted to call me that being around him so much lately."

Deflecting the question Adrian pointed to the side of the rifle and reminded, "Remember, there's two charging handles. Last thing we need is you blowing your arm off with a misfire, Lul--"

"Hee!" squeaked Ilaria as she reached for her ammo with a a severe case of the giggles.

---

"Haah! Love a good late swim!" Ari stepped out her bathroom in some lazy-day clothes and patted herself dry with a fresh towel. "I don't know why you don't join us, Munchie."

"Gods, it's ~evolving~ now is it?" Robyn put down Ari's tablet she borrowed and sat up in bed. "For the record, what you're doing int that pool isn't swimming. I'll join you when I'm not afraid of getting kicked by that leg of yours, Ottah."

"Oh, I'm not that bad," groaned Ari as she sat on the other side of the bed. "Besides, those upgrades Sprite gave me are helping me get back into things. I could use some more control to be honest but it's much better than what I had."

Robyn leaned over and gave Ari a quick peck on her cheek saying, "I'm just glad you aren't giving up on your dreams, lover. I may joke but I'm always right behind you in all this."

Dropping her weight to quickly hug the squirrel's shoulder she simply said, "Thanks, Robyn." As she got herself back upright though she took a look about the room. "Hey, where's Ashe's stuff? She just not bring it up yet?"

"Not really sure. She might just being it up after dinner or something." Robyn slid herself off the bed and placed the tablet on the nightstand. "I think she mentioned something about the basement if you want to check up on her before we eat though."

Immediately popping back to her hindpaws Ilaria half-shouted, "Robyn, she's emotional! I told you to keep an eye on her!"

"She seems to be right and well so long as she stays clear of Dee. I just though she would be--"

"We need to check on that, hon. I don't like her out of my sight like that." Ari headed out her room and Robyn was soon in tow. "Why the basement of all places? She say any more?"

"Not a pip. Just was a passing comment really." When the squirrel hit the bottom of the stairs she spotted Catherine and greeted, "Hey Cat. You alright in there or you want some help?"

"Oh, I'm fine honey. Thanks for asking," Cathy smiled back as she juggled cooking utensils.

Going around the stairs to the basement door Ari huffed out to her trailing squirrel, "No, I don't want to make her feel cornered or anything. It's better I go down alone." She tapped her phone in her pocket to be sure it was there and then plotted, "Got your cell on you, right? I'll call for backup if that's alright."

"That's just well, yeah. I'll just keep your mom company," responded Robyn with a smile as she changed course to the kitchen. "Love ya' Ottah."

"Love you too, Munchkin." With that Ari started down the stairs to the basement, barely able to see her paw in front of her face as her eyes adjusted to the darker room. She stopped at the base of the stairs to let her eyes finish transitioning before even attempting to find the light switch and instead called out, "Ashe, you down here?"

A clack bounced about the walls as some unknown object fell to the ground. "A-are you alone?" whimpered Ashe from the far corner of the room.

"Alone?" Ilaria slowly reached for the light switch, locking her eyes upon the wolf through the dim lighting. "Yeah, I'm alone hon." Upon bridging the gap between the two she spotted the actual source of the noise earlier, India having knocked over a storage box in the darkness. Now that the lights were on the pup quickly found her master slumped against a wall and began licking her incessantly. "What's the matter, Ashe? Why are you hiding down here?" Ari asked as she knelt down next to the two.

"Does Adrian know I'm down here? Can you please not tell him?" pleaded Ashe rather than answer the questions.

"Oh, I see now. Ashe, Dee isn't after you. He forgave you, remember?" Ari huffed out a sigh as she assumed a similar slouch against the wall. "Okay, change of subject. How's the head?"

Ashe whined for a moment and then leaned against Ilaria. "I'll live. I just wish I could say that about my laptop."

"Sprite's looking into that one. Actually last I heard Dee wanted to take a crack at it too." Ari slipped a paw to brush the wolf's long hair out of her face and stressed, "I think he feels ~guilty~ for breaking it."

"Adrian... is really doing that?" Ashe pulled her puppy into her lap and snuggled her like a child would a stuffed animal. "He's concerned about me?"

"He is. We ~all~ are." Ilaria gave Indy an almost apologetic rub on her head when she whined about being handled so oddly, using the break to form her next words carefully. "You said some things earlier that didn't make sense to me. Like at one point you mentioned a sister. Did you really run away and leave a sister behind?"

"That's... uh..." Ashe let go of India and pushed herself up so her knees were almost flush with her body, her arms hugging them instead of the pup. "No... I don't have any siblings. But..." She let her head flop into Ari's shoulder and with a sigh managed, "...I always wanted a big sister... One like you..."

"Oh, well..." Ilaria looked down at the girl and then realized what she was implying. "OH!... Well... thank you I guess. If you want to think that highly of me by all means do. I do care about you too, Ashe."

"Nobody cares about me though. Who sees anything in a worthless bum?"

"Hey, you're far from worthless." Ari adjusted the girl's bandage for a moment and explained, "You think we'd have taken you in if we didn't see something in you? We all love you, Ashe."

"...Even... Even Elliot?..." Ashe quietly mumbled to herself, as if taking back the question.

"Ellie? You--?"

"Am I interrupting anything?" Elliot suddenly asked from the bottom of the stairs, sending Ashe into a fit of shivers.

"It's him! Sister...!" Ashe shouted as she bunched up into her little ball ever the tighter.

"It's just Ellie, hon. And even if it was Dee, there's nothing to be afraid of..." Ilaria looked back to the fair-furred otter and said, "Evening, Ellie. What brings you here? Concerned with your sister?"

Ellie made his way over to the two and answered, "A bit of column 'A', a bit of column 'B'. DeeDee's doing alright, but he's worried about..." He reached out and placed a paw lightly on Ashe's bandaged wound. "...the gaping hole he left in this beauty's noggin. Mind if I take a look, dear?"

As Ashe replied with but a nod, Ari propped her up and then picked herself up. "Then I'll leave you two uh... to figure things out. I'll be just upstairs."

"You sure? It'll only take a minute," Ellie politely protested as Ilaria hooked around the stairs.

Ari paused for a moment and smiled back, "Nah, you two should chat a bit. I have a feeling you'd make good friends."

"Oh... Sure," Ellie slipped out in confusion as he went back to the bandage. "This might feel a bit strange but I swear it'll be better when we're done. Sound good, beautiful?"

Again Ashe gave him a nod, adding in a light, "I don't m-mind."

"Nothing to be nervous about! Here..." Peeling the gauze back slowly Ellie tilted Ashe's head into the light with a smile. "See, not that bad. And it looks like Ari did a nice job."

"I'm sure you... uh..." Ashe trailed off and eventually stopped herself, trying her best to just hide her face as she felt it flushing with blood. "N-never mind..."

"Damn you're cute when you're nervous. Here, let me finish this..." Ellie's paw reached for a bottle of peroxide and brought it to a fresh gauze pad. Gingerly cleaning the fur and skin he continued, "So why the blushing, Ashe? You and Ari talking about something silly?"

"Silly..." Ashe squinted a bit as the peroxide sizzled on her dried blood. "Just... normal stuff I think."

Folding another gauze pad and placing it on Ashe's wound, he then took a cute bandaid branded with a unicorn from a children's show and used it to secure the fresh padding. "I get it. I'll drop it if it's too personal or whatever."

Ashe found the old bandage and brought it to her snout for a quick sniff out of curiosity, wrinkling her nose at the strong smell. "No it's... We were talking about Adrian."

"Yeah, why'd you get freaked out thinking I was my sister?" Ellie pinged as he capped up the peroxide.

"I think of him and all I can do is... cry and hide..." Ashe perked up as the bandage was snatched from her paw and crumpled up with the wrappers for the new gauze. "I'm sorry... You just sounded like him. You even carry yourself the same way..."

"Oh... Well I'll have to show you how sweet he really is then. There's no need to be scared of little DeeDee." Done with the new patch up job Ellie leaned in and gave Ashe's forehead a kiss. "There, all better?"

"Y-y-yes!" Ashe blurted out as she turned her head away from the otter.

Tilting his head at the strange expression Ellie put down his things and scooted up next to Ashe. "Alright, what's going on in that head of yours, beautiful?"

"D-don't call me th-that!" Ashe tried to hide her face even further but soon came to terms with the fact that she couldn't phase through a concrete wall. When Elliot sat next to her and gave her a friendly nudge of the shoulder she forced herself to respond. "I'm... Just... forget that. I don't want to be mean to you or anything..."

"Oh, not at all! If you really don't want me to call you that it's fine." Ellie leaned in closer and sheepishly clarified, "Not sure why you wouldn't though. You really are pretty."

Absolutely jittery at his words, Ashe collapsed into Elliot's lap in a last ditch effort to hide her embarrassed expression. Coming out in a haphazardly reverberating tone she queried, "Why d-do y-you think that, anyw-way? We're j-just f-friends... Is it bec-cause we...?"

Seeing there was more at mind here than he originally thought, Ellie rubbed a paw up and down Ashe's shoulder to calm her down. "Honey, I meant it when I said I would keep it only professional if you wanted. And yes, I hope I'm your friend." He leaned forward a bit and snuck a look at the girl's face, spotting she was nearly to tears yet blushing enough to make her fur seem pink. "I enjoy our time together. It's nice when we're not driven physically, you know. I get to see bits of you no one else does."

"You want to... see that?"

"I barely know you and it seems like an absolute shame." Ellie ran his other paw through Ashe's hair, twirling and playing with it. "Really, I wish I had hair like this. Smooth and down to my ass..." Catching himself lost in thought he jerked himself straight and abruptly asked, "We should do something together. Maybe we could catch a movie and some dinner? Tomorrow maybe?"

"Oh, there a movie you guys have been wanting to see? As long as it's not an action flick, sure I'll go with everyone."

"No, you don't get me..." Elliot leaned down closer and restated, "I meant... just you and me. Sort of like a date? Oh, but we don't have to see a movie! That's just what everyone says! I swear I didn't forget you're blind!..."

"Sure," Ashe confirmed.

"...We can go see a play or something inst--!" Ellie stopped himself as he processed Ashe's response. "Wait, so you'll..."

"Yeah," Ashe smiled back. "I've never been on a date and it sounds like fun. Especially with... with you."

"Uh... Great! Wonderful!" Ellie grinned and giggled giddily as the concept hit home. "So... I'll pick you up at the lab tomorrow?"

"That's... perfect," Ashe giggled right back as the otter's silliness spread to her.

A sound woke Ilaria in the middle of the night, her eyes habitually going straight for the alarm clock on her dresser. Just past midnight wasn't exactly too late, so the possibility remained that anyone in the house could have been stumbling about for any amount of reasons. Still, Ari couldn't shake the feeling that it was Ashe and she'd hurt herself. Reaching for her leg she sat up and slowly adjusted to the darkness of the room. She brought her leg to her stump and then paused as she noticed that her paw pads acted like faint glow sticks when she had a pretty fresh battery in her. Clicking and twisting the appendage into place Ari stood up and headed to the door. Upon hitting the bottom of the stairs and finding no traces of the wolf girl, Ari then rounded the lower post and headed for the basement door.

"Lulu, that you?" Iolvin suddenly spoke up out of the living room.

"Oh gods! Fuck..." Ilaria peeked into the living room and didn't even have to guess if the voice was Yoyo's, splotches of glowing pink coming from the couch. "Don't scare me like that, little bro. What are you even doing in here?"

"Sorry about that. Did I wake you up too?" Yoyo sat himself up and explained why he was laying down in the first place. "I thought Dee could use a night alone so... Yeah, sorry."

Ari changed course for the couch and playfully sat on her brother's legs. "So you sure you weren't kicked out? How's that whole thing working out for ya'?"

"I'm not kidding, Lulu. He was... I dunno. I'd go to snuggle and he'd shove me away." Yoyo sighed and hugged Ari, falling backward and taking her down with him. "If he doesn't want to snuggle I'll just let him be and get my fix elsewhere, haha."

"Yeah, yeah. But you guys are doing alright? I mean, I've never seen Dee break down like that in the years I've known him." Ilaria slumped all her weight loosely on her brother. "And I can only guess what happened with Ashe involved."

"Is she alright? I mean, Ellie's apparently keeping an eye on her down there."

"Oh, I can only hope he's putting more than just an eye on Ashe," giggled Ari as she rolled her head against Yoyo's. "Now, no more changing the subject. What did you two do that has Dee upset?"

"What? I don't have to tell you that," grumbled Yoyo.

"Oh, so something ~did~ happen. Thanks for answering that." Ari spun around so her belly was on Yoyo's and grinned face to face. "So what was it? You guys screwed?" Her legs sank around his and they lightly ground against each other. "Was it a quicky or a good one?" The space between the two tightened as each of the twins slowly formed respective bulges in their bottoms, Ilaria's glowing tip poking out from the lip of her panties. "Any foreplay?"

Yoyo picked Ari up and tried to slide his leg out from under her, but she fought back. "Come on, sis. What's up with you?"

"With ~me~? No, what's your problem," Ilaria grumbled out a bit more seriously as she ground against her brother more deliberately. "Don't think I can't feel that raging boner, Yoyo. You miss Dee's touch a little more than you admit, don't you?"

"Lulu!" Iolvin looked at the juncture between himself and his twin sister and groaned at what he found. With himself now starting to peek through the top of his jeans and Ilaria so hard she might as well not be wearing anything at all he acted fast and held Ilaria firmly by the shoulders. "I can't. I have Dee..."

"And Dee knows about us. He was right there when you screwed my brains out, remember?" Ari slowly trailed a paw down to rub Yoyo's crotch through his pants. "We made a little pact, right? If one of us is in need the other helps..." That paw started undoing the button on his jeans. "...because twins have to look out for each other."

Yoyo tried to stare right back into his sister's eyes without giving a hint of pleasure, but found himself giving in with a slipped moan. "Shit..." He brought one of his paws to pull Ari's paw from his pants, but instead found his fingers reaching to press her panties into her soaking slit. "Fuck, why not? You always could get the best of me."

"Yeah, and I could use a whole load of the best of you deep in my tummy right now," Ari joked as she finally managed to free Yoyo's pink member.

Yoyo frowned and reached his free paw into his rear pocket, presenting his sister with a foil packet and some news. "I don't think we should go raw anymore, Lulu. There's still a small chance I could get you uh... you know... and that would devastate my chances with Dee..."

Ilaria doubled that frown for a moment and then forced a smile. Taking the condom packet into her mouth and ripping it open with a claw, she spat out the foil and brought the rubber to his fuchsia tip. "I'd rather you be happy and not worry," assured Ari as she rolled the condom down, "and still screw you senseless than not at all."

With a sigh of relief Iolvin pulled his lower paw from within his sister and instead started gliding the webbing over her engorged rod. "At least it's easier to clean up this way." His other paw went to his own length and pointed it upward so it lightly pressed against Ari's warm petals. "Since you're on top, you care to do the honors?"

"Would I?" Ilaria sheepishly grinned, morphing into a nibbled lip as she teasingly pressed and rocked against Yoyo's tip.

"Ooh, you really want this or not?" Yoyo jerked his hips and pressed barely into Ari, enticing a yip from her. "Stop being such a tease and fuck me."

"Well you stop being such a jerk..." Ari whined as she dropped her hips and suddenly took as much of her brother as she could. Pressing him against her cervix almost painfully and still only taking half of him she continued, "...and kiss me for once."

Yoyo couldn't resist that request, driving himself upward so his sister would collapse with a squeak. His arms wrapped around her waist and back to hold her tightly against him, their bodies sliding against each other and ruffling their fur. With her so close now, Yoyo used the new position to gingerly lock lips with Ari's own. Ari drew long breaths through her nose as her brother drew out the kiss, intertwining his tongue with hers. Then Iolvin started rocking his hips, leading Ilaria to do the same. As the twins started to really heat up however, they found it impossible to maintain the seal of their lips.

"Mmmnn... Damn. Dee's a lucky guy," Ari mumbled as she dropped her head.

"Why? I don't see you riding Dee right now," Yoyo joked, earning him a slew of kisses across his neck and shoulders as well a few tight squeezes of Ari's pussy.''

"Always the smooth-talker..." Ari lifted herself almost completely off of Yoyo and then gave him a slow, tight drop of her ass. "You deserve a reward for that one."

"Ah!" Yoyo groaned at the tight folds around him and pulled a paw down. Placing it back around his sister's cock he held it still so her own motions did most of the work. "No, ~that~ deserves a reward. Keep that up, sis."

Ilaria slammed home, not caring she was beating the shit out of her deepest parts. She murred as the her tip slipped between Yoyo's fingers, a moan occasionally gasping out as she lifted herself up and thrusted to her knot in his paw. A paw of Ilaria's own went to her twin's as her other motions slowed to a near stop. She began moving his paw up and down her length as she clamped down on Yoyo's cock like a vise.

"Gods, I'm..." Ari gyrated her hips to her own cock moved in Yoyo's paw, the selfless twin brother adding a second when he realized what was happening. "Yoyo... Keep..."

"Ooh... Go right ahead, Lulu. Let it all out for me," Yoyo grunted as the life was squeezed out of him by Ari's building contractions.

"No! I want... to come together!"

His throbbing cock expanding enough to entice a gasp, Iolvin squeaked out, "Hee, Have it... Ah! ...your way!"

With a sudden buck of his hips Iolvin punched right through his sister's cervix and ground his knot against her lips. The sudden tightness caused him to squeeze tightly around Ilaria's length in turn, as well as making him want to get even more of himself inside her. Sadly her female parts weren't up to the task, but the constant tries to drill deeper meant Ilaria's cervix and womb were worked hard. A rough thrust against the back of her womb started the end of the girl, her length blasting burning orange all over her and Yoyo's bellies. She streamed like a fire hose over and over, each time gripping and pulling on Yoyo's tempered cock.

It took mere seconds for Iolvin to let loose a torrent of his own, a balloon of latex filling up with fresh cream in her womb. As her core started to expand due to a serious volume problem Ari arched her back, her next few splatters of her thick cum clearing her chest and coating Yoyo's face. As the moment slowed though she found it in herself to fall forward and lock lips again with her twin brother, sealing them on two ends. A few minutes passes as the two kissed and shared a slobbery orange mess before either regained the ability to even attempt speech.

"Oh ~shit~ that was good," Ilaria murred as she twitched over her brother's chest.

Taking his paws out from between them Iolvin used one to wipe his face and the other to stroke his sister's cheek. "Haaah... Damn, don't move just yet..."

Ari bucked her hips without thinking, another load of jizz spewing from her ongoing orgasm. "S-sorry... Still going through things myself."

"Ah!" Yoyo spouted at the sudden motion. "Damn, this happened before, too. Poor Ashe and Sandy had enough between them..."

"Oh, so ~Cassie~ was involved? Juicy." Ilaria grinned as she ground her tip into her brother's navel, absolutely soaking the fur on his abdomen.

"No... You always cum this much, Lulu?" Yoyo looked down and found out why Ari was unloading into him, her belly bulging like she was a few months pregnant and hardening the angle between them. "I sure as hell didn't 'till now."

"I... I think I might need to wear a rubber too. Wow." Ari reached down to hold the condom on Yoyo and then attempted to lift off, finding the condom wanted to go with her anyway. "Shit, it's stuck in me."

"Yeah... I'm not hurting you, am I?" As his climax ceased Yoyo pulled himself free of his sister's warm folds sans the condom, deciding to leave it for the moment. "And I think you'll need to let that thing drain a bit first, sis."

"Gah... Bit of warning next time, little bro." Ilaria continued to rock her hips and rub her length between the two, groaning for a moment as a particularly large spurt of cum plastered them. "I'm still... going pretty hard."

"Really? I thought you meant the whole... womb fucking thing..." Yoyo snuck in a quick kiss and asked, "So that was a really good one for you, then?"

Nodding through another kiss she answered, "Yeah, one of the best. Your paws... Ooh, those paws!" Ari soon found herself just dribbling as her cock retreated back into its foreskin. Upon her peak ending she finally managed to notice the mess she'd made, not just by spotting the literal gallon of orange about but by the ache of her internal balls. "Okay, that's more than usual. It's shimmering brighter too."

"You think...?" Yoyo paused as he felt a hard spray on his flaccid manhood, the contents of Ilaria's womb starting to leak out under pressure. "You think it's the new upgrades?"

"What I think is we're gonna need to find a lot of towels," Ari responded in a slight state of awe at how she could have produced such a mess. "And you'll need a new place to sleep. We can figure out the rest with Sprite in the morning, after she's had a charge."

"And what if I feel the need to plug myself in during the night? You're not joining me in the study?" Yoyo grinned.

"So dad can find us locked together when he goes to read the paper?" Ilaria rolled to the side and reached for the condom, the offending balloon still refusing to budge. "No, we're cleaning this up and then I get to see if Robyn can tell the difference between our scents."

"Would it really be so bad if she knew? I mean, Dee seems fine with us..."

Ari curled her good leg around Yoyo's and wrapped her tail with his. "I love you, but I'm not sure she'd understand that." She gave her brother a kiss and added, "But she's been bugging me about being more open in the bedroom recently..."

"And would you? Add another to the bed, that is?" pinged a quite interested Yoyo.

"Wanting to bite off more than you can chew, eh?" Ari grinned back.

"Or cum more than you can swallow, perhaps? Hee," Yoyo snapped back.

Ari pecked a little kiss on his cheek and then tried the rubber again, this time rather painfully able to produce a custom-made pint-sized glow stick for Yoyo to see. "Well with enough furs in bed that might not be such a problem. More mouths to feed."

As he watched his twin sister attempt to guzzle down her hot treat Yoyo smiled back, "Only if Robyn let you drink straight from the tap..."

"Oh, no," Ari let out as she licked her lips, barely any of the magenta goo missing the mark. "You'd want Robyn for that. She's got some skills with that department."

"And we could get a whole round for everyone out of you." Yoyo licked some of his own essence off Ari's lips and added, "Just remind me to bring the glasses."

Giggling at the image of Robyn sipping on a pint glass of spunk Ari laughed out, "Hey, my Munchkin's not ~that~ heavy a drinker."
