-Shimera's Mansion-

Cess...quite enjoyed the kiss. He smiled, once it was done, light headed and blank in his mind.

“Umm...” he paused, his wits slowly returning, “This...this isn't going to be a one time thing...right? I'd...I'd really like to spend more time with you...”

-Stark Industries-

“Hey, he's giving us jobs, and a new place to live,” Jimi said, “For all that, he could hit on me and I wouldn't care.”

Hammah was simply excited...He could carry on his father's legacy now...

-R&V Industries-

“I'm sure there wouldn't be that much controversy,” Ethan said, “There's plenty with myself, after all. The aristocrat Rica here, being equals with a commoner like me...”

The blonde girl smiled.

"Of course not! I'd like to stay with you too! You're a lot better than those snobby rich boys Mother and Father always bring in," she told him, sitting on a rug on the floor.

Cess grinned, sitting down next to Shimera.

“I'm...glad you like me...” Cess smiled, “And...speaking of your parents...what are they going to think of someone like me anyways?”

[Stark Industries]

“He probably won't hit anybody,” Sama laughed to Jimi, giving the boy a large thumbs up as he led the group of newly hired engineers towards the front door of Stark's workshop. “Though, I stress the word 'probably'.”

The boy laughed once more, feeling pretty good. For a day that started about as badly as any day can – with an airship crash, a terrorist attack and being lost in the desert – it was ending fairly well! Stark had new employees – people Sama's age! People he could relate to...

New friends? The boy could hope.

“Stark WOULD hit us if we looked for an apartment in the ritzy neighborhood... but he's probably also hit ME if we went to the slums. So let's look for something nice! Time to live it up in style a bit.”

[R&V Industries]

Rica chuckled a bit and nodded.

“Ethan has a point. He and I practically breath controversy. Personally I kind of like it. Every time the paper smears me, or says something rude about Ethan, I simply laugh it off, and remember I'm thrice as wealthy as the guy who owns the papers. It's all just jealously.”

[Malvin Estate]

Alice looked a world different than she had in the basement of Scarecrow's clinic. Her hair was brushed, her face cleaned up and she no longer looked terrified out of her mind. The girl seemed a bit happier – although she was clearly unhappy with the poofy dress.

Yes. She had been brought home just minutes earlier, tripping out on fear toxin, and her family forced her into a poofy dress instead of a uniform.

“Oh! Lieutenant!” She stood up and nodded a bit. “I understand I have you to thank for my rescue... I cannot remember it at all, but I thank you.”

Malvin Estate

Didymus looked Alice over.

He had expected her to be laying down recovering or something, not...this.

She looked nice.

“Oh! Lieutenant! I understand I have you to thank for my rescue... I cannot remember it at all, but I thank you.”

Didymus paused.

"...you can't remember a thing?...good. You were on a...strange drug. I caught a needle of it; it made me see and hear things that'll rob me of sleep for a night or two in the future. You...you had it pretty hard. As for being to thank for your rescue...I'm...not...not sure that's entirely accurate..."

A beautiful aristocrat's daughter is thanking you for saving her life, and you're shirking credit. Give everything for honor, is that it?

He shook his head.

"...your family's guards sought me out, we just followed your trail, and though I was insisting on searching the premises of that building, the crazy doctor or whatever led me to you-if he had any further designs against you I find myself thinking we may have been quite powerless to stop them. He led me, again, RIGHT to you, then stabbed me with a toxin needle...it was a minor dose, so I was still able to scare him off even drugged with my gun, but...well, if I had been left to my own devices, I'd have just let you sit there until the toxin wore off-make no mistake, I would have stayed right there and made sure as best I could nothing happened to you...but...some guy in the shadows fired a rope around you, and bid me take you to some fresh air so I...um, I picked you up and we brought you back here. He was able to fire his rope before I really could react..."

He hung his head.

"...I just tried to do my job and do it right, lady Alice. I find myself wondering to what effect I really did, but the fact remains you're safe and sound now, and that relieves me greatly. But for whatever it's worth, you're welcome. Anyway, I've already told your sisters about this, and your guards can probably be quizzed about the clinic and what we found-we stormed the place and left some men there to see what we could discover..."

He paused, shifting a bit.

"...so...I suppose that's my piece here. But, again, I do appreciate the thanks, deserved or otherwise..."

[Malvin Estate]

Alice was quiet for most of what Didymus had to say as he recounted the story. She closed her eyes, trying to remember what had happened... but the moment a memory started to come back she quickly shut it off.

It was a memory of some sort of gigantic inhuman scarecrow trying to crush her like a bug. Not fun.

“... So Dr. Crane escaped? And there's was someone in the shadows, who tied me up? I have to say Lieutenant this sounds... most unusual.”

She frowned. “Someone in the shadows... I wonder...”

She paused, and quickly pushed her door shut.

“This information goes NOWHERE. You don't report it to anyone! What I'm about to tell you... it's not even verified... but in the slums, I heard from a contact of mine that there's a guy who has been fighting crime in the slums... it might have been the same person.”

She was grinning. “Lieutenant... Didymus... please, you have to help me find him!”

Lieutenant... Didymus... please, you have to help me find him!”

Didymus chuckled, and shook his head.

"Now you're asking me to keep ANOTHER secret, Malvin?"

However, the slightest hint of contentedness or a smile played on his face.

"...it's my job to keep you safe, Malvin. THAT is my responsibility now...but I don't see the problem with a little side work, I suppose."

He was admittedly a tad hesitant to do this, still feeling tense and unsure of Alice after their quarrels earlier.

Maybe this was a way to help her see his side...?

Either way, he spoke again.

"Again, I've already told your sisters everything I just told you, so they will be aware of this man's existence, even if not your contacts' information on him. Anyway, sure, I can help you find him...but I have two requests, if I may...one, please, let's keep out units out of this. Mine at least. I don't want to put my men in any more danger than they need to be, I'm sure you understand, and I would guess feel similarly about yours. Two..." he paused and took a deep breath.

"...nothing...dishonest. Please? Surely we can go about this without compromising our honor."

Knife's Mansion

Fork did nothing but glare at Sophie while she ate her soup.

Spoony was nervous about this situation, but he certainly didn't look down on Sophie at all. In truth, he had spent a lot of time in the past few weeks seeing what life was like for poor people. That's about how long he's discovered his teleporting powers for. In that time, he got to see that poor people aren't as horrible as his family seems to think... but, of course, there wasn't anything he could say about it. Even if it weren't for the fact that he's trying to keep his teleportation powers secret, he still wouldn't be able to convince his family that poor people aren't lower life-forms.

Spoony tried to go along with the conversation, "Ya, father really does like to have the place squeeky-clean!"

Spoony really didn't know what else to say. He didn't want to disappoint his parents, but he also didn't want Sophie to feel uncomfortable.

Shimera shrugged. "My best guess is that they're not gonna like you because you're not filthy rich. But I don't care! I bet they'll never find you anyway," she replied as she looked up at the glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling.

-Dusty Workshop-

(Gahhhh, I am a horrible person. D: )

“Yup!” Galv said, sad that Melanie didn't hug him.

“I'd power it up now, but we'd probably attract attention...” Galv muttered, frowning a little, “You should come during the day, when it's up and running! I can make you something else too...”

He was seriously crushing on this girl.

“I think I'd like to see this place too when it's up and running,” Maize said, looking around.

-Shimera's Mansion-

“Maybe I can win them over with my charm?” Cess grinned, “I mean...I don't want to just see you in secret...”

Dusty Workshop

"Oh that would be soooo cool!" Melanie exclaimed, looking towards Jason "Could I come back during the d-"

"No" Jason answered quickly. "You're not even supposed to be here right now! This place is much too dangerous for someone like you!"

Melanie raised a brow "Someone like me?"

"Yes! This is not the place for a little girl! There are creepers all over the place!"

"I'm sure Galv could protect me" Melanie added with a little grin, turning to the boy. "Couldn't you?"

Jason groaned

Knife's Mansion

Sophie knew lying was wrong (her grandfather had to tell her countless times) but she REALLY wanted to impress her new friend's family "Of course our house is just a clean and pretty! We have lots of old-uh-antiques! Yeah!"

Old junk doesn't equal antiques...

Sophie gave a little nervous laugh, looking to her new friend "Maybe you could show me around after supper?"

R&V Industries

Kanna looked to the two men...actually impressed. Their view on the media was admirable...And rather attractive. They were just like brothers.

Yeah, she could tear these two apart reeeeaaaallly easily.

"I admire your view on the media...There's nothing more attractive than a confident business man" Kanna said, finishing her glass and placing it to the side.

Cess paused, frowning slightly.

“Well...I still want to see you more...” Cess said, “So...We'll just have to be careful then!”

-Dusty Workshop-

“Of course I can protect her!” Galv said, holding up his hand, letting it spark, “I'll fry anyone who even thinks about hurting her!”

He grinned at Melanie.

Maize just chuckled, enjoying the show.

-R&V Industries-

“I always have to have confidence in what I'm doing,” Ethan said, attempting to impress Kanna some more. He picked up a couple metal tea spoons, and began to twist them around, using his super strength.

“If I didn't, I couldn't do something like this,” Ethan said, having twisted the metal into a flower shape, and handed it to Kanna. “To remember the occasion...”

[Malvin Mansion]

Alice's face fell a bit.

“Dishonest? What kind of person do you think I am? Simply because I would rather help the poor in Section Eight than I would stand on a wall and shoot at bandits does mean I do not care for the honor and integrity of the police force!”

Alice looked a bit upset.

“You don't like what I'm doing, don't come. I'll be perfectly fine without you.”

[Knife's Mansion]

Knife paused from his soup and looked to Spoony.

“That's not a bad idea. Go ahead and show her around, son. After the meal.”

Whatever Knife had planned, he knew his wife hated it... but he seemed confident Sophie would be a one-time problem.

[R&V Industries]

Rica rolled his eyes to Ethan, and then approached Kanna.

“Real confidence is a virtue, not something one simply flaunts.”

Yeah she could tear these two almost-brothers apart.

“Now, shall I walk you to your car? There is one last matter I'd like to discuss with you on the way.”
