[Kanna’s Hotel]

Rica spent the entire time on the couch, his hands behind his head and his eyes keeping watch over the slumbering babies. When she eventually appeared, he slowly turned his head to her as she sat down on the couch.

Rica gave a flick of his wrist and the water clinging to Kanna’s hair floated off, swirling around the room as a blob for a moment before he made it flow into one of the empty liquor bottles.

“Better than a hair dryer, eh?” Rica chuckled.

[Haven Medical Clinic]

Connor laughed a little and he put his arm around Sarai, nodding his head.

“That sounds good… but how about we go out to dinner? That way you don’t have to do any cooking.” Connor suggested happily.

[Kanna’s Hotel]

Kanna shivered a bit when Rica moved the water from her hair, looking over from her glass and raising a brow.

"Thanks. I think." she told him, finishing the liquor. She gave a little cough (obviously it had been sitting out for awhile) and sat it down. She then fiddled around with some things on the table; papers, some sleeping pills and other odds and ends. "I suppose I won't need those tonight" she said quietly.

Someone needs to tell Kanna she either needs to stop drinking or taking sleeping pills.

[Haven Medical Clinic]

Sarai nodded, taking the makeshift dinner from Connor in favor of something much better. "Alright then, you finish things here and i'll go home to change. Please don't let them talk you into staying tonight though"

She looked around for a moment and once the coast was clear she moved forward and kissing him on the lips.

[Kanna’s Hotel]

Behind the sunglasses, Rica’s eyes focused on the pill bottle and he frowned. So much for a quiet evening of watching the kids and connecting with his ex. Rica groaned, running his hand through his hair.

“…You do realize that you don’t have a healing factor, right?” Rica said, picking up the pills and sliding them into his pocket. “The kids need you. You really want to see what happens when Ethan and I are left to raise the kids ourselves?”

[Haven Medical Clinic]

Connor nodded slightly after the kiss and he stood up and stretched. “I’ll go talk to the head doctor. I’m sure he won’t mind if I take the evening off… especially after all those all-nighters.”

“…You do realize that you don’t have a healing factor, right?”

Kanna gave a twinge of annoyance when Rica moved to take the bottle of pills. She could understand that she would probably not need them tonight since Rica was handling the children, but she was not planning on inviting him over every night. If she ever wanted to get some sleep she'd probably have to steal them back...

"Don't worry, i'm not going anywhere" she mumbled, running a hand through her long hair.

“The kids need you. You really want to see what happens when Ethan and I are left to raise the kids ourselves?”

"It probably wouldn't be too horrible to be honest, not that i'm planning to off myself or something. They're so I can sleep" Kanna explained tiredly, reaching to grab them back. "You don't trust me do you?"

Nope. Not really.

Haven Medical Clinic

Sarai nodded, turning to leave. While they had been dating for quite awhile now, she still felt very awkward when it came to PDA anywhere near work. She didn't want to do anything to mess up Connor's job after all.

"I'll see you soon" she told him, rushing back off to their apartment to get changed.

“Even with your impressively high tolerance for alcohol, you don’t need to go mixing pills into the situation. You’ll end up dead.” Rica said, shaking his head. He leaned back and shot one of his less-creepy smiles at her.

“I don’t trust anyone, you should know that.” Rica laughed a bit, but then all at once his tone turned serious. “… but more importantly, I don’t want you to end up dead.”

[Haven Medical Clinic]

Connor hurried back into the building and slipped off his coat, sticking it in one of the lockers, before he gathered up his things to head home. He was excited about the prospect of an evening off.

“Jackson,” One of the nurses called out to him. “That patient in room 408 is complaining of that burning sensation again.”

Connor just groaned. “I’m off the clock tonight. Tell Dr. Connelly. I’ll check on him in the morning.”

He set off from the clinic, looking forward to a quiet evening out with his girlfriend.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Haven-

Hawkins' House

Galv blushed as well, snuggling Melanie back. She felt quite cool, and he enjoyed it when he was near.

Maybe just a little more kissing...

Then a loud knock on the door.

“Dinner will be ready in a couple minutes,” Jacob called through the door, “So don't be late.”

Streets

“It's... what my brother would do... I think...” Erin said, then sighed softly, “Everyone thinks my brother was a monster, that he didn't have any good in him... They... they never saw all the things he did for me...”

Erin wasn't sure why she was telling Korina this, but it felt nice to say it.

“I mean... if he was a monster... what does that make me...? Wouldn't I be a monster too...?” Erin said quietly.

Ethan's Office

Ethan sighed, looking over some paperwork. He finished a couple, then put them away, getting up. He decided to visit Kanna, along with his children. Maybe take them for the night, give Kanna a little time off.

He missed Aaron and Adrianna, he'd like some quality time with his two youngest.

-Horizon-

“I'll see if I can't contact The Doctor and find out if he knows something. Perhaps the image will jog his mind. He's gone off somewhere though, might be a while until I can get into contact,” Azmuth said, sighing softly. The Doctor always seemed to be around when he wasn't needed, but when you did...

“Do you require any further assistance? I may be able to scrounge up a couple more Plumbers if you need more help,” Azmuth asked as well.

-U.T.R. Border Colony-

“I always have time for you, Asuka,” Peterson said, giving the girl a smile. She was like a daughter to him, and he always would make time if she needed it, “What's troubling you?”

-Ben's Ship-

Once everyone was on, the ship took off, heading to the Sol System.

“Been a bit since we've been near home,” Ben said idly, “Maybe we should give Grandpa Max a call... he might know some people who can help too...”

Haven

Hawkins' House

Melanie stayed huddled against Galv for several moments, only moving to look up at him when she felt his face near her. It looked as if they would kiss once more if not for the very loud knock on the door. Instantly the girl jumped, clutching onto Galv in a death grip before letting go of him all at once.

Dinner will be ready in a couple minutes, so don't be late.”

Melanie gave a groan, detaching herself from the boy and standing up from the bed. She supposed she should have been grateful, if it were Kanna she would have just ripped the door off the frame and beat Galv with it. At least Jacob gave the two a bit of privacy. Though a bit of privacy didn't feel like nearly enough.

"I guess we should go back down" Melanie mumbled, fixing her wrinkled clothes and fixing her hair. "But this was nice"

Kanna’s Hotel

"Don't worry, i'm not going anywhere" Kanna said, leaning over and kissing him quickly before standing up. She probably shouldn't have kissed the man, having a feeling he'd take it as an invitation to stay longer. She just needed him to make sure no one tried to kill her so she could get one night of sleep. After tomorrow she'd be fine and would handle herself.

"I'm going to bed" she mumbled running a hand through her hair as she turned back to her room. "Help yourself to the booze and there's knives in my purse if someone comes to the door"

Hopefully Rica won't take that seriously when Ethan comes to the door.

Connor and Sarai's Apartment

Sarai rushed hope to the small apartment she shared with Connor. While Connor was an amazing doctor they were still starting at the bottom and working their way up to something better. Either way Sarai was proud of what they had, and rummaged around for a proper dress to wear on their night out. Luckily for Connor, this Sarai was a bolder than RA Sarai (but not by much) and felt mostly comfortable about wearing a dress out the house.

Once dressed in a short green dress the girl took a seat on the couch and turned on the television....All the news seemed to be bad...

Ben's Ship

"That's a pretty good idea" Gwen stated with a grin "We can probably track him down as long as he's at least in the same solar system....He does like to travel after all"

"Maaaan we haven't seen your granddad in ages" Jade said, seating next to Ben "He's always such a cool guy, at least cooler than Uncle....Maybe not Jackie though"

[Haven Streets]

Korina did not know much about Erin’s brother. She had never met him, and hadn’t heard the stories – she’d only heard his name a few times from Erin.

“… My dad was a monster too.” Korina pointed out as she slowly looked up at Erin. “But you and Jason are nice to me…”

[Kanna’s Hotel]

“I suppose I can use a knife. It won’t wake up the kids that way.” Rica replied, as he absently patted the outline of his gun through his jacket. There was never a time when Rica wasn’t armed – even with his apparent inability to die, Rica was still paranoid himself.

He sat and pondered the kiss. He knew Kanna better than to think it meant something… although a part of him wished that it did. There would always be a small part of him that wanted what he’d lost so long ago – but that was long since impossible.

[Connor and Sarai’s Apartment]

It wasn’t long before Connor got home, slipping in through the door. He look slightly less tired than he had at the hospital – the idea of an evening out with Sarai was helping to recharge him after the long day.

As soon as he walked in, he spotted Sarai and smiled. “Hey!” He called happily as he walked over and bent down to kiss her cheek. “Just let me get changed and I’ll be ready.”

[Horizon]

“Thanks Azmuth. We could definitely use some extra hands on this one if you can spare anyone.” Sama wasn’t normally one to rely on outside help, but between being ‘recruited’ by Cerberus and a dangerous race of aliens even Azmuth knew little about, Sama was in no mood to take chances.

[TRS Crusader]

“Well…” Asuka paused, not quite sure where to start. She heaved a large sighed, and then…

Asuka simply blurted it all out.

“I don’t even know where to start. I don’t feel like I know who I am anymore. I mean, when I was a kid I was just a puppet for NERV and the things they did to me… I’ll never get past those… but then I thought I found myself during the Rebellion. It was the only time I actually felt like I knew what I was doing with my life, but that’s gone and now I’m working for the UTR… and I mean, I know you are too, but I just don’t know how to feel…

… Plus there was that stuff with the Zerg… I was a monster… but then that was gone, and I lost my powers, and I don’t really know who I am anymore… plus there’s this whole confusing thing with Didymus and I don’t know if I love him or hate him or some weird combination of both…”

[Ben’s Ship]

“Not a bad idea.” Kevin replied. He typed in a few coordinates as they headed into the system. “Maybe he’ll know how we can get into a military base without getting our heads blown off.”

[Kanna’s Hotel]

Kanna moved to her room, plopping down on her bed and staring up at the celing for a few moments. She knew she should take advantage of sleep...But she couldn't get the worry out of her mind, especially without the aid of those little pills in Rica's pocket. She rolled over onto her stomach and closed her eyes, deciding to just force herself to sleep.

Kanna fell asleep after a few tries, curled up under the blankets and breathing softly. For the hour or so she slept without incident, but as she fell deeper she began to dream like she usually did.

It was always about Burke. Burke or something bad happening to her children. Sometimes it was about both. This time she watched her younger self desperately run away from NERV agents, terrified they would murder her baby. She then saw them do just that.

Instantly Kanna shot up with a shout, just about falling out of bed. She felt out of breath and her hair clung to her face. The woman clutched her chest, grabbing at nothing on her bedside table with her other hand. The woman blinked in the darkness, trying to find her sleeping pills and cursing all the while.

She wasn't going to start crying over a bad dream. No, she was tougher than that. She did feel shaky though...And her chest was tight. And she wanted to throw up. And she was still gasping for air.

Geez, maybe Rica was right about her accidentally killing herself.

[Connor and Sarai’s Apartment]

Sarai looked back from the television when Connor walked in, the woman smiling when he kissed her cheek.

"Just let me get changed and I’ll be ready.”

"Okay" she answered simply, letting him head to the back room. A moment later she followed him, leaning against the door frame. "Did they guilt you about leaving? I've been talking to some of the other nurses and aparently the number of patients at the clinic has almost doubled our occupancy. Mostly from people with powers causing trouble..."

Of just freaking out because they have powers.

[Kanna’s Hotel]

When Rica heard the shout exclaimed from Kanna’s bedroom, he frowned and stood up. First he cast a glance over at the babies to make sure none of them had woken up, and then he hurried over and slowly opened the door.

“Kanna?” Rica called out into the darkness as he slipped into the room. “You alright?”

[Connor and Sarai’s Apartment]

Connor hurried to replace his scrubs with the best suit he had in his closet. He adjusted his jacket and then turned back to Sarai and shook his head.

“One of the doctors wanted me to stay, but he didn’t force it. I know the clinic is getting busier and busier…” He frowned. “This might the last time I get a night off for a while, so we should make the most of it.”

Hawkins' House

Galv sighed as well, having enjoyed the alone time they were having. He straightened his own shirt and made sure he looked okay, though didn't even bother to try and fix his hair. His electricity pretty much meant it would always be wild.

“Maybe we can have a little more privacy later...” Galv added, smiling towards Melanie.

Kanna's Hotel Room

Ethan had a key, given to him by Kanna a bit ago, so he could come check on the babies himself, or pick up Aaron and Adrianna when he wanted.

He had the key in hand when he heard Kanna cry out. He hurried forward, unlocking the door and opening the door inside, hurrying inside the apartment.

He paused in the living room, listening, then paused. Rica was here... Of course he was here. He heard him in Kanna's room.

Of course.

Ethan paused for a moment, wondering if he should just leave. But he did want to see his kids...

Streets

Erin smiled some, then pulled Korina into a hug.

“It seems we have some things in common! I don't know much about my parents... My... memory is still kind of fuzzy...” Erin said, frowning a little. Ever since Jason had gotten rid of her NERV programming, her memory had been kind of touch and go. She remembered Solanna and Walter extremely well... and enough about Jason, but with others... not so much.

-U.T.R. Border Colony-

Peterson was quiet, listening to Asuka's worries. He paused and rubbed his chin, thinking.

“A few different problems then,” Peterson said, “Asuka, I can't tell you who you are. That's something you'll have to find for yourself. I struggled with that for a while too. For a long time I was a soldier, and that was enough. And then I thought I found a cause I could really fight for, something I really believe in. And now? Well, I'm helping humanity. I have skills that might help someone.

“But that's me. I'm an old man now. You've always been a soldier... But you don't have to be. You can be something else, do something else. Find something you enjoy,” Peterson continued, “Find out who you want to be.”

Then he paused for a moment, then sighed, “As for Didymus... I have no enmity towards him. He's a good soldier, and a good man. We don't see eye to eye on many things, I admit that. But I wouldn't be aghast if you and he dated. That is something you'll have to talk to him about.”

-Ben's Ship-

“I'll call him up now,” Ben said, pulling out his phone. He turned towards Jade as he hit a button on his speed dial, “Yah, your uncle Jackie is pretty cool...”

He had learned not to argue with her over who was a better relative, his Grandpa Max or her Uncle Jackie.

Besides, Jackie had taught him a few things about self defense before.

-Horizon-

“I'll send out a message, any Plumber in your area should be able to show up and offer assistance,” Azmuth said, “Best of luck, Plumber Sama.”

[Kanna’s Hotel Room]

Rica suddenly heard the door open. His eyes widened behind his sunglasses and he immediately concentrated – and in the main room, the alcohol remaining in every half-empty bottle of booze shot out and formed into icicles in mid-air.

Rica leapt out of Kanna’s room, drawing his gun and aiming it – only to suddenly groan as he saw Ethan.

“… Ever hear of knocking? Pretty sure you’re not the bulletproof one.” Rica sighed, as he slipped the gun back under his coat and let the alcohol float over and pour into a glass near the sink.

[Streets]

Korina felt awkward as she was hugged. Physical contact was a rarity in her life, and the few times people had embraced her, it was usually to jab her with a needle or attach some kind of monitor.

Yet she slowly relaxed into the hug, not saying a word.

[UTR Boarder Colony]

Asuka groaned inwardly as she leaned against the walls, her cerulean eyes locked on the screen. It basically all amounted to finding her own answers about everything… that was what she’d been afraid of.

“How am I supposed to figure any of this out?” Asuka sighed. “All I’ve ever been is a soldier… no… a weapon. I don’t know anything else.”

She sighed. She had half-hoped Peterson would be aghast at her attraction to Didymus, so she’d have an excuse to go back to hating him. Asuka wasn’t good with any emotions, but liking someone just filled her with an extra layer of confusion.

[Horizon]

“Thanks, Azmuth.” Sama said as he slipped the badge back into his pocket. “Well, I guess there’s not much more we’ll find here…”

He was about to suggest they leave, when suddenly there was a loud bang. Sama turned his head with a start and noticed a flare in the distance… a distress flare.

“… Someone’s still here! Come on!”

Kanna's Hotel Room

“I didn't want to wake Kanna or the babies up if they were asleep,” Ethan said, then held up his key for Rica to see, “I have a key. Kanna said I could come by whenever I wanted.”

A bit of a low blow, but Ethan was feeling a little grumpy still.

“...How's Kanna?” Ethan asked, putting his key away, “I heard a yell.”

Ethan was also glad Rica was fully clothed. Both because of the obvious, and because it meant he probably hadn't been sharing a bed with Kanna now.

Streets

Erin smiled as well. She liked physical contact, especially with Jason and Solanna. They were both very warm... While Korina was quite cold, but Erin didn't mind.

“Come on, let's get back home, put these clothes away, and get those bathing suits on,” Erin grinned then, pulling back, “Jason's probably waiting for us.”

-U.T.R. Border Colony-

“Try some other activities. See what you like to do,” Peterson said, “You have down time, use it. And you can take classes on the net, see what you're good at, what you like. Talk with others, see what they plan on doing when they leave the military. Not everyone is like Didymus or myself, in it for the long run.”

-Horizon-

Jimi nodded, checking his suit, then started forward.

His speed increased, the suit enhancing it now as he started off.

“Bet I get there before you, Kimi!” Jimi called out.

Kanna's Hotel Room

“Kanna? You alright?”

Kanna whipped around to face the door when Rica slipped in, the woman trying to compose herself lest she look like a crazy mess. It was a futile attempt though, as she was still near tears for some reason.

In order to save face in front of Rica the woman grabbed a glass on the bedside table and threw it at him. "G-Get out!" she yelled, surprised she managed to get that much of a voice out.

This had been a stupid idea. Why would she think having some man around would make the nightmares go away-

Suddenly Kanna heard the hotel door open. Naturally assuming the worst she stiffened in her spot but relaxing a bit when she heard Ethan in the other room. It wasn't some NERV agent from her dreams, but instead both of the men she had previously slept with in her hotel room at the same time.

Awesome. Ugh.

Hawkins' House

Melanie smiled and nodded, taking Galv's hand and heading out of the room with him in tow. She rushed down the stairs, only hesitating a bit when she saw Jacob. Once again she felt horribly embarrassed at her behavior (and unloading all of her worries on the man earlier) but offered him a smile none-the-less.

"S-sorry" she said, dropping Galv's hand to take a seat at the table.

Jason's Apartment

Jason lied on the couch, Solanna sitting on his chest and poking her father's face with her tiny fingers. The little girl seemed amused but Jason was getting antsy waiting for Korina and Erin.

Hopefully his fiance didn't murder the little girl out of jealousy. He knew the woman was doing better but she was still Erin.

"Girls take sooooooooo long don't they Lana?" Jason mumbled, his nose twitching as the baby grabbed his nose. "You're gonna be like me right?"

Solanna cooed, now slapping her little hands over her father's cheeks. She giggled.

Connor and Sarai’s Apartment

"They're very lucky to have you" Sarai said with a blush, heading back into the living room to put on her shoes. "Though if all of these accidents keep happening i'm not sure they'll be able to keep up, even with you working every night. You must be exhausted..."

Since Sarai was only a student she still got nights off pretty regularly...Connor was not so lucky.

Horizon

Should we really be running towards a bang?" Crystal asked, following Sama as he rushed off. She hated to be the skeptical one, but this whole place was pretty much forcefully abandoned....Except for one loud bang? Seemed like a trap.

Of course it could actually be an innocent person...Maybe someone got away...

“Yeah you go ahead and get there first, I’ll use you as a meat shield.” Kimi called out to Jimi with a yawn.

“We’re Plumbers. Running towards a bang is basically our job description.” Sama replied with a shrug of his shoulders, as he drew his gun and took off sprinting in the direction of the flare.

“Besides, those aliens managed to kidnap twenty-thousand people from this colony without firing a single shot… if this is them, they could probably take us down pretty easy without a trap.”

As they approached the source of the flare, a figure came into a view. It appeared to be a humanoid figure, very tall and wearing a protective suit of some kind. The figure was clearly alien – his hands only had three very large fingers.

The alien’s suit was torn in front and there was a dark colored liquid oozing out of the suit. Sama frowned, realizing right away it was blood.

“… H-Help… me…” The alien reached out his hand as he saw the group approach.

“Crystal, can you heal him?” Sama asked, as he slipped his pistol back on his belt. “It’s okay. We’ll help you. Can you tell us what happened?”

[Kanna’s Hotel Room]

Rica just let out another little grunt of annoyance as he walked over and grabbed Ethan by the arm. He pulled the other male over towards the opposite end from Kanna’s room and lowered his voice in the hopes the woman wouldn’t overhear.

“She’s safe… at least physically. I’m worried about her.” Rica’s tone was that rare serious one. For once it wasn’t about his rivalry with Ethan, this was too important. “She’s having nightmares. Not sleeping. I took these away from her,”

Rica held up the bottle of sleeping pills. “She’s drinking too. More than usual. I’m not exactly the poster child for sobriety, but at this rate she’ll be dead in a month.”

He sighed, shaking his head. “… We need to do something, Ethan. This is bad.”

[Streets]

“O-Okay.” Korina said simply as she followed behind Erin. It seemed like she was happier now… and Korina found that she was smiling as well.

Maybe she finally had a family.

[UTR Border Colony]

“… I suppose.” Asuka said, still unsure. The idea of doing something different scared her even more than the rest of her worries. It was true she complained of never having a life outside of fighting and war – but what else could she do?

“… Thanks.” Asuka replied quietly.
