“Family...” she says, looking up to you, eyes wide. “Are you sure?”
“Of course. Not the first time we've had family from other timelines pop in, another timeline's version of your mother lives here part-time now as well.” you say, seeing Marron's eyes widening. “I just have to finish up here, and we can go.”
“Finish up?” she asks, brows furrowing a bit. “What do you mean?”
“Well, once this planet surrenders and agrees to be a part of the PTO, we can go back to our people's homeworld. New homeworld, since Planet Vegeta had to be destroyed.” you tell her, Marron's face becoming a mess of confusion. Clearly not fully taking in so much new information so quickly, so you reach over, laying a hand on her shoulder. “It'll be great. You'll get to meet all the family you have out here in this time, just as soon as things wrap up here.”
Patting her shoulder once, you turn your gaze, this time to the Namekian. Who has been mostly quiet, clearly unsure if he should use this time you're distracted to flee, or if he should wait around and let you take him to see his people.
“As long as no one else tries to cause any more trouble, shouldn't take too long.” you say, voice carrying the slightest hint of a threat. “Are you going to try and destroy any more of Cooler's newest planet?”
“Cooler?” you hear Marron mutter, not recognizing his name either. Seems she's got quite a lot to learn of your reality.
“Hmph. After that display of power you put on, even at one hundred percent, all of us here together couldn't stop you.” the Namekian replies, crossing his arms and looking away. “Resistance would be futile. Besides, I do want to meet my own kind. See what they're like.”
“Perfect. Now all that's left it to meet up with whoever's in charge of this world, and get the negotiations started.” you say, telepathically calling Cui to come over. “Once we meet with them and Cui handles that, we can go.”
“Go? You mean, right now?” the bald-headed one, Krillin asks, taking a tentative step towards Marron. “You're leaving already?”
“Don't worry dad, I'll be back. But I have to get strong, strong enough to fight Black and win when I go back.” Marron says, though you can hear a note of longing in her voice. Which you understand, even if he's not her father in this time, the man's still her father.
