Gavriel gave him a flat look.

Law turned back to Meryn. "The word that you're looking for is brother. I am your brother. Amelia is my sister, and you're her little sister, so that makes you my sister." He smiled. "I can't wait until Thane and Justice find out."

"Why didn't you know about Meryn being related to Amelia?" Kari asked.

"I've been out on assignment."

Meryn's hands slammed the table.

"Say that again." she insisted, looking excited.

Law repeated. "I've been on assignment."

Meryn gasped, both hands rose to her mouth. "Deadpool?" she asked.

Law's mouth dropped open. "Red Queen?"

"Holy shit!" Meryn exclaimed.

"No way." Law stepped back and swung the dining room door open "Gimli, Gambit, Legolas get in here." Three large men filed in.

"Yes, sir?" The tall elegant blond asked.

Law pointed to Meryn. "That's Red Queen."

The large man with a shaggy beard and hair barked out his laughter. "Get the fuck outta here!" He ran over and scooped her right out of Aiden's lap. "Where have you been? We almost died in Afghanistan. They replaced you with an absolute idiot."

"We have missed you, little one." The tall, blond man lifted her out of his companion's arms and set her on her feet before kissing her hand.

"Let me at her." The dark-haired man stepped forward, kissed her on both cheeks, and then once on the lips. "You are absolutely adorable, little bit." Aiden began to growl low in his throat. The three men ignored him.

Aiden stood and pulled Meryn away from them, rubbing his cheek where they kissed her, and they laughed. He sat back down, holding Meryn close in his lap.

Aiden said, "Meryn, how on earth do you know them?"

"I worked with them to help them kill people."

Everyone froze, and there was silence. Aiden chuckled nervously. "You mean like on your zombie game?"

Meryn shook her head. "Nope, I hacked systems, opened doors, watched out for them on surveillance, made fake IDs. That sort of thing."

The one Law called Gambit brought a finger to his lips. "Hush shug, you givin' away all our secrets."

"Meryn?" Aiden looked down at his mate as if he had never seen her before.

"They were all bad," Meryn assured him.

"Security, huh?" Kari asked flatly.

Meryn gasped and began to laugh. "I thought you came because you're Kari's brother, I didn't know you were part of her security force." Meryn hooted as Law gave her a flat look. She continued to howl.

Bethy looked at her friend in confusion. "Meryn, what's going on?"

Meryn pointed a finger at Law. "He's a genius."

Law nodded. "Well..."

Gavriel looked around. "I do not understand."
