Authors Note: I know this a late submission for demonic partnership but enjoy all the same. The place Roxon oil was taken from the Marvel universe it may or may not exist.

One year on
Simon and Slamaria had just finished moving in together as the last box was being chucked out. In that year since they initially told their own armies that they are planning on moving in together everything ran smoothly as both Slamaria and Tristan had a fleet of moving vans with demons that can legally drive them. This allowed both Simon and Slamaria to move the items with ease especially considering all the items that had to be moved in the under mansion which wasn't a great deal just Simon's mums life work. One of the trickiest to move was the Eternal flame as the Eternals couldn't move without it and without them the flame would die in a way it was a symbiotic relationship.
Thanks to Simon, Jess and a few scientists that Slamaria had they came up with an effective method of transporting the eternal flame as Ella had done the majority of the work. As she had created using ordinary cement slabs a new kind of slab that can absorb the eternals flame sending straight towards the source. Simon got a few demons to line the back of the biggest van to fit the flame in. the easiest part was done now for the hardest part or so Simon thought. As it turned out Cara had a plan for moving the torch safely into the van for transport to Batherox's mansion. Then there was Jess where on reflection the events leading up to her becoming the lead scientist on the mutant spawn project and how she was running the project being in charge of 20 demons whom were scientists too.
Jess's transition to becoming the head of all the scientists
From Jess's point of view she saw Simon again 6 hours after she came through the portal but Caty was nice as they talked about how they ended up there they both found out that they were both sort out by demons. Caty told Jess that she was taken by a demon that revealed that it was watching her for a while and took her after her and Simon parted ways for the evening after college. Jess told Caty that she was taken by a mysterious demon that used her power of influence to lead Jess to wishing her body away. When Simon came back it seemed that he was on his own as his companion who Jess heard him call Slamaria.
When Jess asked where Simon's companion was he had told her that she went back to her mansion to get things ready before they go through the new mansion to make sure that there was no traps left behind and that the mansion was completely empty before they both move in. Apparently she got a lift from Simon's mansion to her own. After some explanations Jess & Caty were up to speed with everything that was going on and Jess agreed on going with Simon to the holding room where the person she would be replacing was being held.
When Jess and Simon walked through the mansion towards the holding cell where Nefra was being held, after a 5 minute walk they reached the holding cell when Simon said to Jess. "Let me go in first as Nefra might attack and I can take any hit." As they walked in Nefra was just sat on the bed waiting for his judgement to come. When Simon grabbed him in order to drain his memories on the mutant spawn so Jess could carry on, Nefra put up no resistance. Simon left Nefra with little life once he drained the memory suspending the memories in a sphere which he then placed on the chest of Jess.
As the sphere went into Jess's chest she began to squirm while Nefra laid there unconscious slumped on the floor where Simon had let him fall. As he rushed to catch Jess so she didn't fall to the floor her eyes were closed as she was trying to deal with her memory expanding with the new knowledge. As her eyes opened there was a yellow glow coming from them, this reminded Simon of a moment in doctor who.
The moment where Rose steps out of the TARDIS in parting of the ways when she absorbs the heart of the TARDIS and when she steps out when her eyes are glowing regeneration yellow.
Simon went and got one of the wrath demons to finish Nefra off where he was only too pleased to be the one to take care of Nefra after all the trouble he caused over the years. Simon and Jess leave the sleeping Nefra to the other demon as Simon & Jess went to his office. Once they were inside Cara came up to Simon only to tell him that the message has been sent out to Terra original demon lady as it turns out to be the demon that lives and controls Scotland and Ireland, Cara left them to it for a while as they discussed business. "How are you finding the additional memories?" Simon asked Jess.
"A big difference but very eye opening so I will be in charge of the mutant spawn project?"
"Yes Jess you will be working as part of a joint team once we move in but it will be more controlled then previously as there will be a mutant spawn tamer and I want you to make the mutant spawn appear more human than anything then at least that way they can lead a normal life of sorts."
"So you want me to make them like the mutants in x-men human but with certain mutations?"
"Yes Jess but that is not all as you and the team will be working on other projects too not just the mutant spawn which we will discuss that once we move so can you make your way back to the mansion where Caty is from here?"
"Yes Simon I can make it back there." With that Jess got up and left heading back to the mansion.
With Terra at Simons house
Terra awoke on Simon's settee as she sat up rubbing her eyes she noticed that Simon was sat on a chair with a look of relief on his face. Slamaria came into the room with three cups of what smelt like a mixture of tea and coffee, for the first time in years Terra had her memories back including on who her former demon lady was before Batherox used the de-evolver on her. "Are you ok Terra?"
"Yeah Simon I am ok just weird having my memories back I spent 22 years without them and now I have all of them back it feels like seeing a photo of your younger self and not recognising the person in the photos at all."
"I can set you up with a meeting with your former demon lady if you want to go back to her but you are more than welcome to stay at the mansion until the date comes of you meeting up with your former lady." Simon said immediately as he looked at the faces of Slamaria and Terra they were both crying from hearing Simon say that.
"You really mean that?"
"Yes Terra I do mean that to me nothing is more better then knowing that the demons that I have acquired are happy and if that means that you are no longer with us then it doesn't matter so long as you are happy."
"Thank you Simon and I would rather head back to Lady McTaggart she must be concerned as I haven't gone back from my mission 22 years ago." With that said Simon rang Cara to set up a date for Terra to go back to her former Lady. Almost 15 minutes later Simon got a phone call off Cara saying that Lady McTaggart will meet them in Wolverhampton in the next hour as this was a rather special case. Simon told his companions the news so they drove back into Wolverhampton as soon as they could so Terra could finally be with her former lady.
The three headed back to Wolverhampton only to get a message from Cara saying that Lady McTaggart will meet them in Costa Coffee so Simon, Slamaria and Terra headed to Costa Coffee after Simon had parked up. As they approached the Coffee shop Terra immediately saw her former lady. As they approached the table she was at the former lady stood up to introduce herself as Lady McTaggart started talking.
"Hi there Terra so nice to see you after 22 years, Lady Slamaria too what a treat and who is this with you?" She asked gesturing to Simon.
"This is lord Warner taking over from Azrial." Slamaria informed Lady McTaggart.
"Pleasure to meet you thanks for looking after Terra and if you would like to leave us now we have business to conduct." Lady McTaggart rudely said thinking that Simon was someone to be pushed around. Simon and Slamaria left they went to have a look around Wolverhampton town centre although they ended up in Yates a cocktail bar near Costa Coffee, they both got some drinks as they started talking all the eyes were on the couple as they both looked like models and Simon knew that he wasn't model material and he did not know about Slamaria.
5 minutes later
Simon got a telepathic message from Terra which to Simon sounded like she was crying. Simon got up and headed down to Costa Coffee where they met Lady McTaggart although Simon was sprinting at this point Slamaria was just behind Simon, as he slowed while he was approaching the entrance to Costa Slamaria had caught up. "What's the matter Simon?" Slamaria asked just as they were at the entrance of Costa's.
"Terra sent me a message through the mark and she sounds like she was crying and it's still my duty to make sure she is ok." Simon told Slamaria as the two went into Costa's only to see that Terra was silently crying at the table when Simon and Slamaria walked up to the table, Terra looked up with tears streaming down her face before she got up and wrapped her arms around Simon hugging her still crying. Simon who wasn't a hugging person but he made exceptions in some cases, everyone in the coffee shop was looking to see what was going on.
As Simon stopped the hug him, Terra and Slamaria sat down at the table before Simon asked Terra. "What happened Terra?"
"Lady McTaggart didn't want me she said that because I failed in my mission 22 years ago to find the weakness that Batherox had but that him and Azrial tried to make everyone see the truth while I was in his care. She said I was too much of a liability for her to have me back and now I don't have anywhere to stay." Terra said while she was crying but before Simon could say anything Slamaria spoke up.
"Simon will give you a place to stay and when we move in your more than welcome to stay with us we will always need someone like you Terra, right Simon?"
