Musashi's safehouse

As Snake and Jenny left, Didymus took a deep breath and let it out, looking around.

Well...so they're off. It seems you're the only male without a girl tonight...of course, you always were a fan of tradition, weren't you?

He actually chuckled at himself.

Something didn't feel right about this evening. Not just the experiences, but what was going on now...he wasn't sure if that was just him, and his usual...caution...or if he was really being warned...

...he took another deep breath and leaned back against the wall.
(Insert witty/moving/inspiring phrase here)

-Streets Near Safe House-

Jenny was quiet, thinking it over for a moment.

“Well...we don't know how they're getting information yet,” Jenny said, “And you're confident you'd be told Cobra returned...And then that bug...”

She frowned, then shook her head, “Occam's Razor, Snake. Simplest explanation. Either Cobra is back and working as Nazi spies for some reason, not telling you and turning against their country, or there's just a spy in the War Department. Besides...”

Jenny waved her hand idly, “If, for some reason, they were spying on us, wouldn't Pain be smart enough not to show his hand like that, with the bug?”

Of course, Jenny's assuming anything Metal Gear Solid related could have a simple explanation.

-The Rica Cave-

Galv frowned, sighing and looking off to the side.

“Look...she's my sister. I can't say her life was particularly hard on her. Heck, she grew up under one of the richest guys in America, she's been living comfortably through this Depression. But she still has a lot of emotional baggage, because of what my dad did in the past... If Lily does try something, I will stop her...but neither you nor Kanna have a sibling. You can't understand...”

Galv then turned back to Melanie.

“Mel, did you want to just spend the night here, or head back home?” he asked.

-Gallic Enterprises-

Lily stepped back, watching as Ryan writhed a bit and cursed.

“Well you didn't immediately burst into flames. That's good,” Lily said, “If you can hold out for a few more minutes, you should live, though I'd keep near fire extinguishers for a few days, just in case.”

Lily smirked now, shaking her head, “If you're feeling better later, we can try for another power, but it's much too soon to try again now. How are you feeling?”

The Rica Cave

Melanie frowned, knowing things would remain tense if they were to stay...She smiled at the group, taking Galv's arm. "We should go, the children will rest better at home"

"No, you can't go" Kanna said with a frown. "They'll come for you"

Melanie sighed, "We'll be alright for a night" she said before looking to Rica. "You'll make sure my mom is alright tonight?"

Don't entrust your mom with Rica....

Gallic Enterprises

"How do you think i'm feeling?" Ryan grunted through clenched teeth, glaring daggers at Lily. He still felt as if he was burning, and he didn't appreciate Lily's humor at the situation. "When will this damn feeling wear off?"


NYC Streets

Suddenly Sama snapped out of it, coming back to his senses and looking to Crystal in confusion...Though she could tell something had happened, she was very weary....After all he just tried to chop her open.

"......" Crystal couldn't think of anything to say...She just kept her distance and watched Sama with wide eyes.

Musashi’s Safehouse

“You have no idea how frustrating I can be.And there’s a pretty good chance I’ll get killed with all this craziness and war…

"Don't you dare say that" Laila said, placing her hand on his cheek, moving in and kissing him. A few moments later she moved back, giving an embarrassed chuckle. "Okay, i'll stop that now"

Sama groaned, clutching his head. He felt sick, his stomach was churning and his head was pounding.

“Ugh… what…” He looked down and saw the knife he had dropped. “Oh $%^&! Did I use that… gah…”

He turned to Crystal and he saw her eyes were wide, and fearful. Then he saw the cut on her arm and he groaned as he realized he had attacked her.

“Crystal, no, listen… that wasn’t me… okay, I know this sounds crazy but that knife is… well… cursed.” Sama rubbed the back of his neck. “It was from the case I investigated a few years ago in London… it’s a long story…”

[The Rica Cave]

“What I understand is that she’s dangerous.” Rica replied, looking to Galv. “But she’s your problem, so you deal with her however you want… just keep her away from Kanna and Laila.”

Then Melanie changed the subject.

"You'll make sure my mom is alright tonight?"

Rica grinned. “Oh, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on Kanna. Two eyes. And some hands too. And my lips.”

RICA. STOP BEING CREEPY. [/he won’t]

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Nanami let out a little sigh. “Fine, if you won’t pick something… then…”

She paused, thinking. “Tell me something about you, then.”

[…]

Musashi had an extremely happy smirk on his face as they kissed.

“You don’t have to stop.” He smiled at her.

Galv frowned for a moment, turning to Kanna. He didn't like Kanna. The two never got along. The only thing they agreed on (keeping Melanie safe), was something they even found friction on.

“And who do you mean by 'they'?” Galv asked, “Do you mean my sister, or do you mean those Nazis that you brought here? I know my sister well enough to deal with her, but you brought the rest of this insanity on us...”

Galv's hair was bristling slightly, acting up with his electricity.



Sage was with Joyce and Blake, off in a different room now as the grown ups talked.

“Man...I hope my dad isn't mad at me for everything...” Sage frowned, rubbing his head.

-Gallic Enterprises-

“Sweetie, I went through this exact thing when I was eight years old,” Lily said, patting Ryan on the shoulder, “It should wear off in a few minutes, but you might get a couple flare ups now and then, especially when you start using your powers. But it's like working out. You're using muscles you don't normally use. It hurts at first, but with practice you get better, and it stops hurting.”

Lily smiled, pulling Ryan towards her and kissing him, before stepping back.

“I have a feeling you'll be a bit better then me with a couple of the powers, actually,” Lily said, “You seem like you already had a bit of fire in you...”

-Streets Near Safe House-

Jenny was quiet, thinking it over for a moment.

“Well...we don't know how they're getting information yet,” Jenny said, “And you're confident you'd be told Cobra returned...And then that bug...”

She frowned, then shook her head, “Occam's Razor, Snake. Simplest explanation. Either Cobra is back and working as Nazi spies for some reason, not telling you and turning against their country, or there's just a spy in the War Department. Besides...”

“Oh, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on Kanna. Two eyes. And some hands too. And my lips.”

Melanie shuddered, close to just walking out but suddenly Kanna and Galv were at eachother's throats. Melanie frowned, taking a step in front of her husband just in case Kanna decided to lunge at him. She loved both people in front of her dearly, but she doubted they could even stay civil for more than twenty minutes....

"What the hell are you talking about, I didn't even want to come here!" Kanna yelled, cutting her eyes at him "I was keeping you all out of this-"

"Mom, calm down" Melanie said "He wasn't blaming you for any of this-"

Yes. He was

[...]

Joyce walked over to Sage, giving him a small smile "Why do you think he'd be mad at you?"

Ryan probably forgot the fact he had a son in the last hour.

Gallic Enterprises

Speaking of Ryan!

Ryan took a deep breath, the pain finally starting to subside...It probably helped when she kissed him deeply. That always helped. The man shrugged off the last bit of pain, pulling himself to his feet.

"I'm fine...." he finally decided, looking back to her. "Better than ever."

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila smiled, kissing him once more before shaking her head. "No I do, because you still have to talk to Adrianna..."

Yeah. She knew that wasn't going to go well.

"You know she's gonna want to kill you" Laila added with a frown.

[The Rica Cave]

Rica blinked as Kanna and Galv looked like they were ready to fight. He didn’t really want blood and guts all over his carpet, so he decided to step forward in front of Kanna the same way Melanie got in front of Galv.

“Enough. It doesn’t matter who gets blamed for what. What matter is that we’re all alive and that the children are safe. Now stop arguing. We all need to work together if we’re going to solve this problem.”

Rica rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

[Streets Near Safehouse]

Snake shook his head. He wanted to have another cigar, but he knew Jenny would just disapprove so instead he flexed his fingers in his pocket.

“In my experience, the simplest explanation is usually a lie. But… I can’t believe the Cobras would be up to anything nefarious, if they’re even alive.”

He sighed, and decided to change the subject. “What do you think? Of this whole thing… this Sakura Team, the civilians… is any of this going to matter?”

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi sighed, and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Yeah… I know.” Musashi groaned. He didn’t want to hurt Adrianna, and he certainly wasn’t looking forward to pissing off the girl with super strength; but Musashi knew he had to be responsible.

[NYC Streets]

Sama groaned, clutching his head. He felt sick, his stomach was churning and his head was pounding.

“Ugh… what…” He looked down and saw the knife he had dropped. “Oh $%^&! Did I use that… gah…”

He turned to Crystal and he saw her eyes were wide, and fearful. Then he saw the cut on her arm and he groaned as he realized he had attacked her.

“Crystal, no, listen… that wasn’t me… okay, I know this sounds crazy but that knife is… well… cursed.” Sama rubbed the back of his neck. “It was from the case I investigated a few years ago in London… it’s a long story…”

Galv frowned, glaring still at Kanna.

He opened his mouth to say something, then stopped, shaking his head.

“I don't want your help. Either of your help,” Galv said to Kanna and Rica, “We were getting along fine without you. Then you waltz back here and everything goes wrong.”

He shook his head, taking Melanie's hand, “Come on. Let's get the kids and leave...”



“Because I ran off and stuff...” Sage frowned, sighing. Of course, with Sage running off with Joyce, Ryan would probably just give his son a high five.

-Gallic Enterprises-

Lily smiled, taking a few steps away from Ryan now.

“Excellent. Now then, try making some fire,” Lily said. She held up her hand, creating a small ball of flame. “Like this.”

-Streets Near Safe House-

“Who knows,” Jenny answered truthfully, shrugging, “From our own experiences, battles can be stopped and won by both individuals and armies. Perhaps we'll be lucky and they'll be able to put off a bloody war...”

[The Rica Cave]

“Too bad.” Rica said simply, shaking his head and stepping in front of Galv. As usual, there was a sarcastic smirk on Rica’s face, and his eyes were hidden away by dark sunglasses.

“It doesn’t matter if you blame Kanna for this mess, or if you want our help in dealing with it… because right now, you need our help. The simple fact is HYDRA is an extremely dangerous organization, and now they know who you are, and who your kids are. These people managed to get from Germany to the United States undetected by any law enforcement or government, they smuggled explosives and guns into this country without being caught, and they’ve successfully pulled off a series of attacks.”

He didn’t mention how Kanna had been responsible for some of those attacks. Why remind everyone of that now?

“I have the resources and the connections to get you and your family to practically anywhere in the country, or in the world. Safe, sound and away from the Nazis – and away from Lily, I might add.”

Rica shrugged. “So go on. Let your pride get in the way. Let your disdain for Kanna blind you – but you’ll only be putting yourself and your family in unnecessary danger. Hmm… would a good father put his kids in danger just to feed his own ego?”

Rica, you’ve clearly never played Pokemon, because Water-Types should not antagonize Electric-Types.

[Streets Near Safe House]

Snake shook his head.

“I doubt it.” Snake grunted. “… There’s too many people with too much at stake. Hitler’s ambition isn’t going away, and some of the people he’s surrounded himself with are even worse. If HYDRA is bold enough to try something like this, then it’s only a matter of time until we have a full-scale war.”

Snake sighed. "I'd hope to avoid war for the rest of my days..."

The Rica Cave


Kanna blinked when Rica came to her defense, instantly willing to go toe to toe with Galv to save her the trouble....That or he just liked to fight with Galv too.

“I have the resources and the connections to get you and your family to practically anywhere in the country, or in the world. Safe, sound and away from the Nazis – and away from Lily, I might add.”

"Okay that's enough" Melanie said looking from Galv to Rica. "Both of you" she then looked to Kanna. "Look mom, i'd love if you stuck around and if you wanted to have something to do with your grandchildren but obviously you're involved in some very dangerous stuff. I don't blame you for whatever your doing, I know you have your reasons, but I can't keep Joyce and Blake around this...We'll leave for now"

Melanie sighed, looking to the side. "I don't want to leave New York City if it can be helped, I want to go back to my home and live normally again. I don't want to have another child in the midst of all of this"

[...]

Joyce smiled, throwing her good arm around Sage's shoulder "Don't worry, he can't get too mad at you! We were fighting Nazis! That has to count for something right?"

Well.....Not exactly fighting Nazis.

Musashi’s Safehouse

Laila frowned, leaning in once more and kissing the boy before moving towards the door. "I'll go call for her. Good luck"

With that she slipped out the door leaving Musashi alone for a few moments. When she was safely out of sight the girl gave a large grin, jumping up and down for a moment. She then composed herself, heading down the stairs of catching sight of her brother and sister sitting on the couch talking.

"Your turn" Laila stated, trying to stay as even as possible. She knew Adrianna was inspecting her face, trying to find out Musashi's decision early but seemingly giving up. The girl gave a nod, getting up from the chair and heading up the stairs. Laila passed her halfway down, only displaying her excitement when Adrianna was gone.

[...]

A knock came to Musashi's door, Adrianna behind it trying to fix her long hair in her last remaining seconds. She took a little breath, and knocked once more.

Gallic Enterprises

Ryan looked down at his hand, concentrating for a moment. At first nothing came but and the man started to think that this was all just one annoying (painful) joke, but then his hand started to heat up. A warm glow turned into a hot ball of fire, small but strong.

"Well this is interesting" Ryan said with a grin.

NYC Streets

Crystal wasn't exactly convinced...She continued to stare at him and eventually shook her head. "W-Why the heck do you have something like that!?"

She kept her distance, clutching her wound.

The last bit of this evening was finally starting to catch up to Marco, as he was now trying to fight off falling asleep as he sat. And this was especially so now that Nanami decided to sit down next to him, since he could imagine if he fell asleep, and fell over onto Nanami in any way, he probably would not wake up again.

Little did he know a similar situation had occurred earlier soon after Nanami found him after his fight with that HYDRA lady.

“Fine, if you won’t pick something… then… ... Tell me something about you, then.”

"Oh! I'm sorry..." he answered her, "But... what would you want to know?"

[The Rica Cave]

Rica frowned. He DID feel bad for Melanie. The girl just wanted to be left alone and have a happy little life with her family… but Rica knew that just wasn’t going to happen.

“What if it can’t be helped? Melanie… the world right now…”

Rica shook his head. “Nevermind. You should go home. Just… keep an eye open, and don’t let the kids wander around, okay?”

[NYC Streets]

Sama shook his head. It was a little hard to explain everything on the dark streets of New York.

“I found it when we were at that warehouse,” Sama told her. “I recognized it from the case I worked before… I don’t know why it was in the warehouse, but I knew it was too dangerous to just sit there.”

Sama paused, and then sighed.

“Look… I swear to you, it’s the knife… I’ll explain the whole thing once we’re somewhere safe, but… well, you have handcuffs, right? Go ahead and cuff me if it’ll make you feel better…”

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Nanami just sighed and leaned back against the couch. This boy was impossible to understand. It was infuriating.

“… What do you think of this insane little group we’ve put together? The Prince, the girls, Aaron, those government agents… all of us.”

[…]

Musashi briefly thought about jumping out the window. He could always live as a hobo for a few years on the streets and start a new life under a new name… but that would be even more irresponsible than dating two sisters at once!

He walked over to the door and opened it.

“Oh… hey Adrianna.”

"Fun!" was Marco's quick answer, with a smile. It probably wasn't an answer Nanami really wanted to hear, but it was the truth for him.

"It's something that's different from the 'same old same old'. But also... this group, I think it might be a good group to have, to try and do what we need to, to make an impact.

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Nanami raised her eyebrow at the answer ‘fun’. She wondered how much blood Marco had actually lost, and was considering making him lose a little more when he gave a more serious answer.

this group, I think it might be a good group to have, to try and do what we need to, to make an impact.

Nanami paused. “… I hope you’re right. I’m not nearly as confident. Those girls don’t grasp how serious this thing is, Musashi’s distracted with his head in the clouds, and those military people are going to expect to whip them into shape, and believe me, that’s not possible with Musashi.”

She sighed. She normally wasn’t the type to confide her uncertainty in others, but she had already talked to Marco about worse personal things, so it didn’t seem quite as horrible to bring this up.

Marco had expected that Nanami wouldn't be thinking along the same lines as he was.

"Yeah, those girls seem to only be worrying about Musashi... But I guess if one's really heartless, they could play off of that, to get them to use their abilities for the good of any mission. Heh..." he then said.

"But seriously, no matter how you look at it, it seems like they're involved. Even with one of them getting dumped by the prince, both of them have the same mom, apparently, and that lady appears to be working at least against our cause, if not for the nazi's in general... Carrying them along with us might just end up being the best way to keep them safe from everyone else"

During this pause, it came to his mind, that Nanami really seemed quite negative about things she was unsure about, considering how most everything he was saying now took a more positive spin on her concerns.

"And Musashi did work with the military in the past, so hopefully that prior relation could keep things between them civil, now..."

But it was these military folks that were what concerned him the most.

"But if they're going to be trying to make everything regimented and military-like... we're all going to have problems. Even if working with them may be the best way to go, instead of working against them."
