Liberty Island

The boat touched down on the island, and Didymus climbed out.

"The problem is, we have no idea where they really are, but I guess the easiest move is to check the statue, that's the most likely target...

He looked around.

"Not a very busy day today...let's move in. Everyone on your guard."

He approached the statue.

"Let's work our way down and then up, hit the basement and work our way up from there..."

"Oh, I could probably answer that!" Marco jumped in, near literally, as he once again stepped in between Kanna and Musashi, trying to push Musashi back, but finding that he seemed to be resisting the push a lot more (due to Kanna's shadows holding on to Musashi, unbeknownst to Marco).

"She's probably in it for the money... and probably to try and take over the world as it burns down..." he then added, before dramatically turning towards Musashi, "OF COURSE!"

Warehouse at the Docks

Kanna stopped her verbal assault on Musashi too look back at Blake. He really seemed to want to leave....And as heartless as she was she still had a soft spot for her grandchildren.

"Fine then..." she said, taking his small hand. She then turned to the others. "Get out of here and forget everything you've seen.....Drop all of this before you get killed...And Prince....Enjoy your last few days"

And with that she picked up the boy and a cloud of dark shadows overcame them....A moment later they were gone.

"DAMMIT!" Adrianna yelled "How the hell does she even do that!?"

[...]

Kanna and Blake appeared a short distance away, the woman obviously worn out from her display of power. Despite this the woman looked back to the little boy.

"I'm your momma's momma" she told him simply.

Streets

"It doesn't work too often for me, but when my mom uses her powers to track she just goes all quiet and concentrates...It has to be really quiet and it takes a lot out of you but it's possible. Anyone with dark powers can be seen this way."

Joyce snuggled a bit closer against Sage, closing her eyes and thinking....

Crystal’s Apartment

"No problem, but try not to mention it out in public too much" Crystal said with a smile, stopping her healing to push her hair out of her face. "It's just something i've always been able to do, but it's still kinda freaky..."

She gave a little laugh.

[Warehouse at the Docks]

Musashi blinked as Kanna disappeared in a cloud of shadows. Now THAT was an odd one, even for someone like Musashi, who was used to stuff like this. He frowned and looked over to the rest of the group.

He was relieved that no one was dead, but he had a feeling this had gone much worse than anyone expected, and that Nanami was going to be mad…

And mad she was. Nanami walked over to Musashi and paused for a moment, as if she was inspecting him for injuries. Now that she was right in front of him, Musashi could see the extent of her injuries – her clothes were stained with blood, and despite her best efforts to hide it, there was a look of pain and tiredness on her face.

“Nanami, I…” Musashi started, but immediately he fell silent.

“… You can get in the car with the girls now, or I can knock you out and you can ride in the trunk.” Nanami hissed, and Musashi decided not to say anything else, instead hurrying towards the car.

[Liberty Island]

Snake paused for a moment, looking around. He didn’t like this… any battles that happened on Liberty Island would be impossible to keep quiet, and Snake hated to make a scene.

“Basement. Got it.” He grunted.


In the crowd, someone was watching them.

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama paused, looking down at his shoulder. The wound was gone! Only a small red mark existed to show that anything had even happened. He was amazed, and looked over to her.

“Freaky or not that is incredible! I mean… wow…”

Sama was still a little dumbstruck.

Marco blinked, and blinked again, at how Kanna seemed to disappear into shadows. That old lady was CREEEEEEPY.

But now that Nanami had entered the warehouse again, in the shape she was in, Marco was shocked...

...and probably between 40-60% more likely to punch out Musashi once they got away.

"What... How did that happen?" he then asked of Nanami, before he started back off to the car.

Nanami turned her head, ignoring Marco for a moment, and calling out towards the side door.

“Laila! If you’re coming, we have to go NOW!”

Then, at length, she turned to Marco. She still had the pained look on her face, but she was trying to hide it, at least to an extent.

“… I ran into a professional killer with some… abilities… I didn’t expect.” Nanami scowled stiffly. She paused, grabbed Marco’s arm, and pulled him off to the side. For a moment she paused, and looked around to make sure Musashi or the girls wouldn’t be able to hear him.

“I… may need some help when we get back to the safehouse…”

It was easier asking Marco than Musashi.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Warehouse at the Docks-

Aaron returned with Nanami, pausing and inspecting Galv, propping him up against the wall.

“...He's okay,” Aaron said, after a moment, “His...umm...heart, I think. Whatever Blake did made his heart stop, and his own powers took a moment to restart it. At least I think that's what happened.”

He paused, looking back towards Marco and Nanami.

“My sister Melanie is probably nearby if Blake's run off and Galv is here. You guys head back to your safe house. I'll catch up after I talk with her and help with Galv here,” Aaron said, “I, uhhhh, heard the location earlier, when Musashi called my sister...”

He had been listening in on the phone in his dad's room, his dad off at work.



“My grandma...?” Blake said, looking a little perplexed, then frowned slightly, “...Can you help me control my shadows?”

-Liberty Island-

Jenny took a moment to look up at the large green statue that stood there.

“I think...if the Germans did blow up Lady Liberty, they'd just be uniting all of America against them...” Jenny muttered to herself, shaking her head, then hurried off with Snake, keeping an eye out as well.

-Streets-

Sage just nodded, remaining quiet as Joyce closed her eyes and concentrated.

He wondered vaguely if she had just fallen asleep.

Nanami said nothing to Aaron, merely giving a nod of her head. In truth, she couldn’t be too worried about Galv at the moment. The truth was, Nanami’s only concern was to protect Musashi. That was her one duty… she would try to protect Laila, Adrianna, Aaron and Marco and random strangers (like Galv) if she could, but the truth was she needed to protect the Prince above all others.

She headed out to the car and collapsed in the passenger seat.

[Liberty Island]

Snake’s voice was low. He didn’t want any tourist or worse, nazi, overhearing him.

“… After what we saw, I’m worried that they’re up to something a lot worse than just blowing it up…”

Snake didn’t like these sorts of missions.

Didymus hadn't really thought about what he suspected their adversaries were going to do...well, he had considered a few things, but...he hadn't been going over details too much.

"Yeah...blowing it up would seem a tad mundane, after all we've seen, wouldn't it?"

He drew his weapon.

"Someone keep an eye behind us..."

They had entered the statue, and began their descent into the basement...

This was very concerning. First that old lady disappearing from right out in front of him, into shadows. There also was whatever the heck happened to that guy apparently named 'Galv'. There was Laila shot by her mom, but being not affected at all by it. And Nanami fought with a guy that also has 'abilities' that could take her off guard, something that shouldn't be that easy unless he really overestimated her skill level.

Marco was aware that there were some people in the world with abnormal 'abilities'... But this many, in such a concentration... Especially with everything on the line as it was...

Definitely not good.

And speaking of 'not good', Nanami herself appeared to have been injured in a way that should be affecting her more-so than it appeared that it was. Even if you take away how she had that 'tougher than nails' aura, at a glance, she should be down KOed instead of walking around as she was.

Though possibly that meant she had some of these 'abilities' as well... At least that would mean that they had some extra 'power' in their group, possibly.

Marco simply nodded to her possible request for his help. Then when Aaron addressed them, his own eyes narrowed.

"Don't bring along anyone extra... And burn this place once you're out of here..." Marco didn't have high hopes for either thing happening, but he might as well say it.

He then followed Nanami to their getaway car, and hopped in himself, in the driver's seat.

"You're going to have to help me later, with some intel..." he then directed to Nanami, without any of his usual energy in his voice. Beyond everything else, Marco was unhappy with himself at this moment. He pretty much was useless and not able to do anything helpful or worthwhile to get out of this situation, as Nanami managed to get rid of an assassin herself, at the expense of nearly being killed herself.

And even with his own skills/abilities, he wasn't even sure if he could try to use it on Nanami to at least try and numb some of the pain from her wounds, since if she had some ability herself that was keeping her from dying right there, then mistakenly stopping that would be a BIG problem.

Once he had that info he wanted to know about, though, he'd be in a much better position to be useful. And he WAS going to be useful.

[Liberty Island]

Snake moved silently, barely making noise as he walked down the stairs. His training kicked in and he was in full stealth mode, with his combat knife clutched in his hand, ready to be used in a second’s notice if anything down here was dangerous.

He was no longer speaking, and he hoped that Jenny and Didymus would stay quiet too. Snake was the expert when it came to knowing the advantage of surprise. If there was a group of Nazis down here – and if they were anything like their friend back at the warehouse – then Snake wanted to take them out before they ever knew he was here.

He peered ahead in the basement, wondering what he might find…

[Marco’s Car]

Nanami’s eyes were now closed, but she was still conscious. Yet she seemed even more agitated than before. It was now taking nearly all of her strength to keep her wounds from bleeding any more, and she was starting to lose focus.

“… We’ll see.” Nanami replied to Marco quietly. She sounded strained, still preoccupied with keeping herself alive and awake.

While she was grateful to all the help that Marco had given them, and she was counting on him to help her, since depending on Musashi was never her first choice; even with all of that she wasn’t about to start releasing information that could in any way be endanger Musashi.

It might have been unfair, but Nanami’s first priority was to keeping the Prince alive, even if sometimes she might want to stab him herself.

Laila had rushed off to the car with Musashi but Adrianna stayed behind for a few moments looking over Galv. "So Mel's kid can stop hearts? Creepy...." she said with a frown.

She then headed over to Aaron. "I'll come with you if you want. Help find Melanie...."

After all she didn't want to have to watch Laila obnoxiously hit on Musashi all night

[...]

Kanna leaned down, looking at the boy carefully. He looked a lot like her daughter...But that hair. Kanna silently wondered if she could get away with dying it black.

"I can help you" she said "Once I get a little rest....Tell me, do you talk to your shadows? Can they form a being...Like a person?"

Crystal’s Apartment

"Glad to know i'm incredible" Crystal said, moving forward slightly and pressing her lips against the now healed shoulder. "There. All better"

She then moved back, heading to the kitchen to grab some tea. "So tell me mister detective...Can you do anything particularly cool? I could imagine you being some sort of super hero in your spare time"

Streets

Joyce was quiet for a few seconds before the girl gave a little groan and rubbed her head. "Owwww that's not really fun....I can sense things but it's way too blurry to show that it's Blake...It could just as well be mom"

Musashi peered over as he saw Adrianna was going to go with Aaron. He bit his lip, and wondered how the sisters would take this. Their mother was working with the Nazis, that was undeniable now… and it seemed that Laila’s father was involved in whatever was happening, too.

He wanted to talk to them, to try to help them, but what could he do? Nothing right now. He needed to be quiet and behave for once. He was worried about Nanami, and he knew she wouldn’t even address her wounds until he was in the safehouse.

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama stood up, feeling much better now that his wound was healed and his hair was glass free. He followed her to the kitchen, now in much better spirits.

“Super hero? Oh man I wish…” Sama laughed, shaking his head. “No, I’m afraid the only thing that separates me from the rest of the general public is my detective knowhow.”

The boy paused, leaning against the counter. “Though I have seen some unusual things…”

Car -> Makeshift Safehouse

It was a pretty good thing that Adrianna decided she was not coming along, as Marco wasn't waiting along for anyone any longer, starting the car, jamming it into gear, and speeding off.

As he sped through the streets, he then called back to one of his passengers.

"You seem to be getting along really well for having been shot in the stomach, Miss Laila," he watched her in the rear-view mirror, as he spoke. That was one of the things he wanted to know about, especially since her father seems like he might have been the professional killer that Nanami fought.

Makeshift Safehouse

Laila was a little bothered that Adrianna and Aaron weren't coming along, but decided to say nothing about it. Instead she focused her attentions on Musashi....Who her mother had just threatened. Multiple times.

"Great....My mom is a Nazi. Just wonderful" Laila said slumping in her seat.

"You seem to be getting along really well for having been shot in the stomach, Miss Laila,"

Laila blinked, looking back up and over to Marco who was sitting in the front seat. Oh yeah....She had been shot. Her eyes then turned to the spot, which was still a bit bloody, but already healed over. It didn't feel any worse than a bug bite now. "O-Oh, that...Yeah. I'm....Resilient. Get it from my old man I guess"

Crystal’s Apartment

"Well between you and me we're just a couple of freaks aren't we?" Crystal said with a grin, before sliding a glass of water and two asprin in front of him. "Take those. I may have healed the wound but you're still gonna be sore in the morning...And we need you able to shoot just in case those crazies come after us"
