By Diana the Valkyrie

You know Wendy, I'd really really like to have sex with you

I woke up the next morning, surrounded by Wendy. She was in front of me, her

arms were round me, her cape covered my body, and her wings were keeping me

warm, all around me. "Hi, baby," she said, cheerfully. I opened my eyes

cautiously, and looked around. "Momma's gone back," she said. "That was your

mother?" I looked up at Wendy, she looked blissfully happy. "Yes, that was my

Momma, she came to see me, to make sure I was OK." "Your Momma is quite a, um,

a, Person." "Yes, isn't she wonderful? She came all the way across the galaxy,

she knew I was, um, teething. We're connected, you see. She told me. It's

something to do with quantum entanglement, I don't understand it. But she said

I would understand when I got older. Oh, David. My Momma! She loves me, she

came to see me, look how sunny it is this morning, isn't it a lovely day,

would you like to go out and play today?"



"Yes, it's ..." "She said you told her all about me, she said she was so proud

of me, she said I've got more humans in my Guardianship than anyone else, she

called me her Little Fireball, she says I'm a fireball of love, isn't she

smashing?" "Yes, ... " "She said she always keeps an eye on me, it's the

quantum entanglement thing, she doesn't know the details about me because of

the quantum uncertainty, but she'd know if I was in trouble, and she said if I

do ever get into trouble, she'll come and look after me, isn't that wonderful?

So if I do get into a fight I can't handle, she'll be here to help me, I'm not

alone any more."



There's a lot of comfort in knowing that there's someone who cares, watching

over you; I knew that, because I had Wendy. And now Wendy had someone. "I

can't imagine you ever needing ... " "She said she's so proud of me. She said

I've done so well, she couldn't have done better herself, even if I did get

into a stew when Duncan died, I did pull out of it, well, that was you really,

but she said that you helped, but it had to really come from me. And she loves

me, my Momma, she came to visit and she loves me."



"Yes, and ..." "I can't visit her, I can't go fast enough, she said I'll learn

how to go fast one day, I mean, really fast, not like slow old light-speed,

but she wouldn't tell me how to do it now, because I'm not old enough, I don't

have the wisdom and experience, I have to stay around here, but I want to stay

around here anyway because I've got eight billion of you to look after, and

I'm your Weapon. And she's my Momma and she loves me, and I love you."



"Of course she ..." - I couldn't go on, she was kissing me. "And she said

you're my Wielder, never mind what you say about just being a friend, you're a

lot more than just a friend, you help me so much with advice and about how you

humans think, she says you're all pretty weird, but I told her you're not

weird, you're how you ought to be, and she said, well, I would say that

wouldn't I, being your Guardian, but you're not weird, you're not, even if you

can lie to yourselves and do other stuff I can't understand, I'm sure I will

understand it all one day, when I get older and wiser and I can move fast and

see what you're thinking and some other stuff Momma said I'd be able to do."



"What other stuff ... ?" "Oh, and I'll fix the problems with the feathers,

they weren't real feathers you know, they were just fields, so I'll just

dissipate the fields, except yours, of course, and so they won't have anything

to fight over, so they can just go back to lying to themselves and ignoring

anything that disagrees with them like they did before, so they'll be happy

now. Except your feather, David," she smiled at me, "I know you've put it in

your treasure box".



"But McPherson pretty much burned his boats ..." "No, if he sincerely repents

they have to forgive him, it's in their rules, so he can get his old job back,

I wrote him an email explaining all that so he knows what to do. And I told

Simon to give the feather to the priestess, so he'll be OK, and when the

feather dissipates, they can all get back to their stupid religion of

worshipping me, or whoever it is they decide to worship next week. And Jim can

get as many feathers as he wants from his chicken sacrifices. You know she

calls me her Little Fireball? My momma, she came to visit, wasn't she

wonderful?"



I wound her hair round my hand, and tugged. Hard. As hard as I could - I knew

I couldn't hurt her. "You're my fireball, too. Wendy, do you always talk this

much when you want to kiss someone?"



The flood of words stopped for a moment. I tugged even harder, pulling her

head down to mine. She kissed me, it was like being surrounded by love.



I screwed up all my courage. If she could fly off to battle the way she had, I

could do this. It wasn't hard. I kept telling myself, it isn't hard. And if

she got angry with me, I could quite truthfully say that Momma told me to do

it. She wouldn't be angry, I made her Momma angry for a moment and it wasn't

something I ever wanted to experience again, one of the People angry with me.

Wendy wouldn't get angry with me, though, she loved me, she said so, and it

was a perfectly reasonable thing for me to ask. Yes I could do it, I had to do

it, I wasn't going to put this off any longer.



"You know Wendy, I'd really really like to have sex with you." Well, that's

what Momma told me to say.



She wriggled down, so her head was on the same level as mine. "Well, of

course," she said.



"Right. Well. What? you mean ... Are we ... ?"



"Well, I thought, well, we need to do the Rite of Binding. Rule of Three,

remember?" she asked.



"Unnhhh..."



"So I was already planning to make love to you, you see? Make you my official

Wielder. Do it right."



"What about Duncan?" "He doesn't mind, he'll be my Wielder Emeritus, my First

Wielder, he'll always be that, no-one else can be the first. Well, actually, I

had to persuade him a bit, but I've always been good at doing that."



Right. She's running an emulation of someone, and she persuades the emulation

to think what she wants them to think. No, I've got to stop analysing, I've

got to take this stuff as it appears, otherwise I wind up having sex with four

black holes.
