-Los Angeles-

“Well you can have more then one favorite,” Aiden said, “I like red and orange!”

The color of fire...

Aiden would also probably accidentally burn down a house...



“Rica...that name...” Russel said, rubbing his chin, “Sounds...familiar...”

He paused, thinking, then shrugged. It would come to him later.

“So, Jason, do you have an ability?” Russel asked, “I have the same as my daughter here.”

He swished his finger around, creating a small breeze.

-Haven-

“That's the President...” Ben said to Jade, being surprisingly knowledgeable about politics. Gwen had probably been telling Kevin and him about the election nonstop...

“He really pushed for Haven,” The Doctor said, “Even before his election...this was originally going to be a place where humans and aliens could coexist...but after what happened on New Marais...”

He sighed, looking around at everyone who was milling about.

“Well then, let's do what we can!” Ben said, clapping his hands together, “Let's see...”

He activated his Ultimatrix, slamming his hand down on it.

XLR8!” Ben declared, changing into the speedster.

He zoomed off, looking around, then came back in a matter of moments, “Okay, I figured out where everything is!”

Ben then changed back to normal in a flash of light, “Hey! If everyone will follow us, we'll lead you to the houses!”

-Flashback-

Ethan stared down at the arm Kanna offered, then nodded. He cleaned a spot on her arm, then used the needle to take a sample, placing it in a small case.

Then he held up his own arm, cleaning a spot the jabbing another needle into the spot, taking a sample of his own blood.

“I said I would...and I don't go back on my word...” Ethan said, putting it away as well.

Flashback

Kanna was quiet, but winced as Ethan brought the needle to her arm. Above the three a light flickered, but nothing else...

Luckily it was over a moment later, Kanna looking back up at the boy as he stabbed himself with the needle....She didn't actually think he would have did it.

Either way Kanna moved back to Rica's side, motioning to the burger she has placed on the bed. "Oh! Ethan took me to get something to eat, I brought some for you too! You should eat something"

Los Angeles

Oh great. So both of them could pull the air right out of his lungs...This did not make Jason feel that great.

The boy gave a nod, producing his hand which emitted a bright glow. He avoided mentioning the fact that he couldn't die, as he wasn't event sure about that one yet.

"We don't know if Solanna has any powers yet though...She doesn't really do a lot right now."

Haven

"I swear Ben, every time you do that I get queezy" Jade muttered, jabbing the boy with her elbow as he transformed back to himself

"Come on Sama" Crystal said, taking his arm "Maybe we can find somewhere you can take me on a date"

Shannon growled.

Didymus nodded.

"Very good, Miss Soryu."

He turned to Alouette.

"Usually, captain, I ask the chaplain to remain in the medical bay and pray until she's needed to help with casualties. Unless the doctor wants her out of the facility. I know that our devoted medical officer is usually not fond of intruders..."

“Oh…” Korina nodded her head, pretending to understand. She usually tried to keep up with ‘normal’ things, but it wasn’t very easy for her.

[Haven]

Many of the people still seemed confused, and were talking among themselves. The military agents looked nervous as well, but so far nothing had really happened, and slowly the people started milling about.

Several of the volunteers started taking people down various streets, towards homes that had been built for them. During the course of the month, they had interviewed many of the refugees and had homes made for them… given the sheer numbers, some would have to stay in apartments temporarily, but construction was still ongoing.


Sama grinned to Crystal, forgetting about his crashed spaceship for a moment. “Oh, that sounds fun! I wonder how much they’ve built for this place… oh well, exploring will be pretty fun!”

[Flashback]

Rica raised an eyebrow to the burger. He was always weary that someone could slip something in the food… but at the same time, this had been brought by Kanna… and even if it was poisoned, he’d only die for a while.

“Thanks.” He muttered, still untrusting of NERV and the new intern – but quite hungry.

[TRS Crusader]

“Actually, sir… if it’s not too much of a request, I would prefer to accompany the away team.” Alouette said, looking to Didymus. “I’ve served in combat many times… I know how to keep my head down, and I believe I can be an asset.”

Didymus reflected on Alouette's request.

"...very well. Report to the armory and suit up. And captain...be careful, please. I'd hate for chaplains attached to my ship getting killed to become a trend."

“I have absolutely no intention of taking any unnecessary risks, Colonel. However, I feel I can be an asset to the men on the ground.” Alouette nodded.

Soon, she and Asuka were both ready for whenever Didymus and the others would be going planetside.

“I'm sure she will,” Russel smirked, patting his granddaughter's head, “Maybe she'll have both of yours...”

He paused...that name 'Rica' was really bothering him. He knew it from somewhere...

“...You don't happen to be from New Orleans, are you?” Russel then asked, after a moment.



“...Isn't there something else we're suppose to do?” Aiden wondered suddenly, “Get something...groceries?”

Yes...Jason and Erin are groceries...

-Haven-

“Well, I still haven't gotten the hang of Ultimate Ben...” Ben smirked to Jade, shrugging.


“Excuse me...”

Someone approached Sama and Crystal. He wore a yellow jacket and had blond hair. He didn't seem that much younger then them, maybe only a few years their junior.

“Can I see your rabbit?” the figure asked, “My name is Hammah...I'm one of the people from New Marais...I'm...good with animals...but something seems off about it...”

-T.R.S. Crusader-

Omega stood by the others, prepared to help as well...

“Groceries?” Korina paused, thinking. “I thought we were looking for Jason.”

She always remembered Jason, since he had been one of the first people to be nice to her. Plus, he looked a lot like that strange boy who Burke had met with a few times.

Yup, Jason’s evil clone is still out there somewhere.

[Haven]

Sama turned to the boy and smiled. It was nice to see someone from New Marais who didn’t look as afraid or nervous as most of the refugees did. Though he was aware that things had probably gone badly for this boy because of what happened there.

It was why Haven was important.

He hesitated as Hammah asked to see the rabbit. Sama could never quite tell who the death bunny would accept as a friend, and who it would decide was food.

“Oh, uhh… Crystal?” He turned to her, wondering what she’d say.

Los Angeles

Jason blinked when Russel asked about New Orleans. "My dad is from there...." he stated, not sure where this was leading...

Hopefully this didn't mean Russel wanted to kill Rica. Or him.

[...]

"Groceries? Oh geez! We forgot about Jason!" Melanie exclaimed, hastily stuffing some money in the vendor's hand and taking Korina's.

She then looked around, heading down the boardwalk.

"Jaaaaaassssooooon!"

Haven

Crystal blinked when a blonde boy appeared looking a lot like a certain adorable prince that CR loooovvves. She gave a nod, looking down to her bunny "I should warn you though that she's kinda...Well, blood thirsty."

Shanon gave a little growl, but did nothing. She hopped towards Hammah.

Flashback

Kanna hated parties. The girl didn't understand the point of being dressed up and paraded around as if she was some piece of meat in a dress. It was degrading, and she didn't care to even look nice for the horrible people here at NERV.

But she was here, and she was going to stick around until she found Rica. This party was more for him anyways, as several scientists from NERV were escorting him around and making him stand around awkwardly as they spoke to wealthy investors about his 'unique abilities'

Of course she knew that everyone here was totally aware of Rica's powers. The scientists used the boy to showcase their progress, and to obtain financial backing from wealthy old men and women who were interested in being the wallet behind the creation of immortality.

Kanna lost sight of the boy after he and a scientist finished speaking to a old man and his entirely too young for him date. While Kanna had been watching the group inspect Rica closely (including the younger woman flirting shamelessly with Rica) she had been temporarily pulled away by some old guy that thought she was here for the party. By the time Kanna back to her spying Rica was gone, lost in the hords of old people with lined pockets. She glared forward, flattened her short black dress, and went on the prowl to pull her boyfriend from any creepy old ladies who may be hitting on him.

One of those insanely rich people was a woman, most likely in her late thirties or so, wearing a slinky red dress and a fur coat. She had short black hair and thin eyes, as if she was constantly annoyed at her surrounding....While actually she was just observing. The woman, known simply as Madame Rouge, knew all about the party's purpose like the others, but also had much experience with other experiments within NERV. For a long time the woman backed projects attempting to make an invulnerable human, as this discovery would surely lead to everlasting life and the preservation of beauty and age.

Rouge was so desperate to fund a working project that she was even in the talks to back young children being put in the same conditions to obtain immortality. Surely something good would come out of a little girl being tortured hours on end *coughErincough*.....But getting children, babies really, was still out of NERV's interest for the moment. They seemed to be focused on this teenage boy, apparently who could be dipped in sulfur and recover in a matter of hours.

Madame Rouge was intrigued.

Sama hesitated, especially when he hears Shannon growl a bit. He was prepared to throw himself at the rabbit’s teeth if it attacked this boy… the people of New Marais had been through enough without being mauled by dog-sized rabbits as well.

[Los Angeles]

“They’re probably under the boardwalk.” Felix suggested. Jason took too much after Rica, and Erin was… well… Erin.

[Flashback]

Rica hated this party for the simple fact that it was NERV. Normally being paraded around a fancy room, wearing a nice suit and having a variety of attractive women flirt shamelessly with him would have been an ideal evening.

Yet he knew who these people were. He may not know their names or faces; but they were the people funding NERV. Kessler, Burke, Ikari… they all depended on the funding from these wealthy bastards who were willing to throw caution and morals to the winds as long as it meant a chance for them to avoid death.

Rica despised every one of them. He was half tempted to ruin the party for NERV, but just prior to coming here, Mister Burke had been very clear about the penalties for that.

‘I will flay the skin off your bones with a razor and then allow a pack of feral dogs to chew on you while you try to regenerate… and while you’re busy with that, I think I’ll check up on Ms Narroh.’

The creepy smirk on Burke’s face and the threats to Kanna were enough to make the boy behave, at least for tonight.

“Ah, Madame Rouge…” Burke grinned, giving a bow of his head. “I’d like you to meet one of our favorite test subjects. Say hello, Jackson.”

Rica grunted.

"So this is the boy i've heard so much about....Strange...He doesn't look that impressive"

For some reason Rouge imagined the 'key to immortality' to be a bit stronger...Perhaps a bit more intimidating. He seemed a bit scrawny, though tall....A bit pale. Either way, if this boy did what Burke claimed, then it would certainly be worth the half a million dollars she was willing to 'donate' to the wonderful minds at NERV.

"Please don't think me rude, but I must be convinced that he is as special as you say he is before I invest such a grand amount of money in him." Madame Rouge said, her obvious Russian accent dripping from her voice. "And why some teenage boy, wouldn't a child be much easier to control?" she looked to Rica, grinning at him "I can tell you aren't very obedient. Are you Jackson? Tell me why I should invest in someone like you."

“Huh...I see...” Russel said, then shrugged, “Ehhhh, I'll remember it later.”

He then grinned, clapping his hands on Jason and Erin's shoulders.

“Any chance I get to meet any of these family and friend's of yours?” he asked.



“Oh yah, Jason!” Aiden nodded, following after Melanie, looking for him.

-Haven-

Hammah smiled, then looked down at Shannon, patting her head carefully.

“Hmmm...she's not an actual rabbit...” Hammah said, “She's...made from a program?”

He looked up at Crystal and Sama, “I...can sort of read technology...”

And other things...

-Flashback-

Kessler was not at the party, not being much of a people person.

He and Ethan were in a lab, working on a certain device. A prototype.

Ethan had gone to Kessler about Kanna and Rica. Kessler told him that Rica and Kanna were from the local juvenile correctional facility. That they had volunteered here to get time off of their sentences, and to avoid prison time when they turned 18.

Ethan had believed him, more or less, but was determined to still and try to figure things out.

Ethan was getting suspicious about NERV, and had been gathering information, enough to take to the authorities. He didn't think Kessler knew about it all (Ethan had too much respect for the man to think he could be a criminal), but he was still careful.

“It's just the prototype...but this device will allow for safe gene therapy and mutation...” Kessler said, “At least for those with the proper genome...”

He sighed softly, “And I am very sorry about this, Ethan...You have a brilliant mind. But you are inquiring too much...and you have to be stopped...”

Ethan turned, eyes widening suddenly, Kessler's hand beginning to glow with electricity, taking Ethan by surprise as the electricity sparked into the Ray Sphere prototype, lighting up.

It began to glow, then sent out a wave of energy, the power not going past the small room though, hitting Ethan, the short man letting out a cry, falling down to his knees...



Down in the party was a blonde haired woman. Claire frowned, wishing she was elsewhere. She was not dressed nicely, just in her usual scientist outfit. After all, she had a child not that long ago...

Which means there's a little baby Walter somewhere.

[Flashback]

Rica frowned at Rouge. She was obnoxious, but she was also questioning Burke, and that at least was nice. He enjoyed seeing people second-guess the powers of NERV, but he had a bad feeling about what would be happening next.

“Of course, Madame,” Burke bowed once more. “It would be insulting for me to expect you to donate so generously without seeing the fruits of our labor in action.”

Burke snapped his fingers, and one of his assistants brought him a microphone. He tapped on it, getting the attention of most of the people in the room.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank you all for coming tonight. My name is Mister Burke. Many of you already know me, and what I have been researching… the secret to immortality. Allow me to demonstrate one of our leading test subjects, Mr. Jackson David Rica.”

Rica gulped. He knew what was going to happen next. Burke could show people graphs and charts and science-y tests, he could even show them videos… but the best way to get money from this rich saps was to show them an actual demonstration.

Burke slipped his hand under his coat and pulled out a rather large revolver, and in one fluid motion he fired three bullets into Rica’s head from close range.

Immediately, Rica’s body crumpled onto the floor and blood pooled around his head. A great number of people shouted out and some seemed uneasy and grossed out.

Then, after a moment, Rica began to stir. His healing factor – at least for bullets – was now fairly quick. In a matter of minutes, he was back on his feet standing next to Burke; his head completely healed.

“… Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the secret to immortality.” Burke grinned.

[Haven]

Sama was impressed, and he nodded.

“Well, she was originally part of a computer simulation – advanced stuff, a holodeck… but it’s from a pretty old ship. Rare technology, not standard stuff by any means.”

He paused. “That’s pretty impressive that you could tell that.”

Flashback

Kanna had been looking for Rica around the the punch bowl when she heard Burke on the loud speaker. Instantly the girl stiffened as the man refered to Rica, and her blood ran cold as she heard several gunshots bang loudly. Instantly the girl was rushing through the crowds of shocked party-goers, finally coming across the crumpled body of her boyfriend. No matter how many times this happened it horrified her. A moment later Kanna rushed out to the center of the floor, helping her boyfriend stand as he came to.

"You're alright right?!" she asked, like every other time. Suddenly she jumped, hearing another loud noise.

But it wasn't bullets. Instead it was clapping, a massive roar of applause coming from the men and women investors. They were amazed at Rica, and impressed with NERV.

But for some reason Madame Rouge didn't seem impressed. She stepped forward, clapping slowly and stopping in front of Burke.

"Amazing, really it is. You have all done something extraordinary....Though I would like to try. To make sure it's not a trick or illusion."

"Leave him alone!" Kanna yelled, glaring dangerously.

Madame Rouge raised a brow "Oh can I shoot that one as well?"

Haven

Crystal held her breath when Hammah moved to pat Shannon's head.....But the bunny didn't eat the blonde boy's hand or attempt to rip out his kidneys...Instead the bunny accepted the gesture, ears twitching a bit.

"Shannon likes you?" Crystal asked, almost amazed.

Los Angeles

Jason opened his mouth to answered but was suddenly interrupted by a shouting in a very familuar voice.

"Jaaaaaassssssooooonnnn"

Jason looked around suddenly spotting his sister and the others in the distance. Melanie seemed to notice him as well. The girl rushed up, eying the man they were speaking to.

"This is my sister Melanie" Jason introduced, placing a hand on her shoulder. "This is Erin's dad" he told the girl.

Instantly Melanie was a bit defensive.....After all Erin was crazy.

"....Uh...Hello" she said quietly.

[Flashback]

Burke’s lips slowly broke into a smirk. Madame Rouge might not realize it, but she was only upping the money the other donors would be giving NERV. An extra demonstration would impress them all the more.

Of course, he frowned a bit when Kanna felt the need to intervene. He liked Kanna, she was a useful project… and the powers he had given her were impressive. Still, tonight wasn’t about her.

“I’m f-fine, Kanna… don’t make a scene…” Rica didn’t want her in trouble.

“Ms. Narroh, please. You’re making a scene at this lovely party.” Said the man who shot a teenage boy in the face. “Madame Rouge, I’m afraid that Ms. Narroh here is part of a separate project, and as such I would prefer she remain unharmed. However… I welcome you to test the limits of Mr. Rica’s immortality in any way you see fit.”

Rica turned paler than usual.

[Haven]

Sama was grateful to see that Shannon deemed Hammah not fit to devour. It was nice to know that the rabbit wouldn’t maul refugees.

Now if he could just teach her not to nibble on his kidneys.

[Los Angeles]

Korina shrunk behind Felix, and the taller boy frowned. Erin’s dad? Here? What were the odds…
