"It would be, they might suggest you two go on a vacation or something to de-stress, and tell her to stop with all the damn fasting."
She smirked. "Yes I did and here where it starts. Yes, I died, we were all killed. I remember feeling blackness, and though I was freezing from blood loss I was warm, cozy even, and it felt like every worry, fear, concern I had was gone. Think of every positive emotion you've ever felt, it would do justice what I was feeling in that moment, so much so it felt freeing, like floating almost."
"I don't know how long I was dead, and certainly at the moment I didn't care, but the next thing I knew I felt myself slam into a hard surface, alive. Shang was standing over me and for a moment I thought I'd died and gone to hell, but he had actually brought me back from the dead. And no, it wasn't pleasant, it's like when a limb falls asleep and you try to wake it. Only this was worse and it was all over me, not to mention I was freezing my ass off."
"So Shang tells me what happened. Ironically, Shao Kahn was defeated, but by Shang Tsung. He found that Kahn had planned to kill him as soon as he was no longer useful-though I doubt if he was really surprised. So he off's Kahn before he could kill him, takes his soul for himself, and crowns himself Emperor of both realms to complete the package. He has his new guards find me, they bring back my corpse and he brings me hack from the dead. This is when he proposes again. He tells me that while he's now emperor, it doesn't seem right to rule by himself, but he's willing to make a bargain. If I agree to the marriage, he'll restore Earth's population, give me say in what happens to my people and put me in charge of his armies."
She narrowed her eyes a moment, not turning her head by her eyes shifted behind them. Someone was listening in on their conversation with a small hearing device. Sonya closed her eyes a moment and the person at the table behind them started fiddling with the device that no longer seemed to work.
"Somehow or another, we've managed to stay civil for two years, so he's told me."
