-NYC Streets-

Aaron paused, closing his eyes. While he was Lalia's brother, they were only half siblings. Adrianna was his twin, sharing the same super strength they got from their father.

“Let's see...she's...that way,” he said, pointing in the general direction of the air field. “Come on!”

He hurried off, towards the airfield!

-Yacht-

Walter nodded, “I shall start once I bring you back to safety, sir...”

Musashi's Safehouse

Marco remained quiet for a little bit, after Nanami spoke, before sighing.

"...Have you even been listening to me? You aren't getting rid of me that easy."

[Musashi’s Safehouse]

Musashi paused, and looked to Didymus with an eyebrow raised.

“That’s the second or third time you’ve made some comment like that. You think I’m doing this for women? That my dedication to my old team was because they were attractive? I don’t know what kind of person you think I am, but the everyone from my old team were my friends. I cared about them, and still do. We fought together. We were soldiers. We were all willing to lay down our lives for one another and I still am.”

Musashi crossed his arms. “I’m not the man you seem to think I am. If you have some problem with me, then spit it out.”

[…]

Nanami sighed, looking back over to him.

“… I don’t actually want to get rid of you… I just don’t want to see you end up dead.”

[Yacht]

Red Skull shook his head.

“I am fine. I can take care of myself. Right now, I want revenge.”

Musashi's safehouse

Didymus sighed, wondering if perhaps he had gone too far. Musashi's comments, perhaps, served to remind him that maybe he was allowing his own emotions to cloud his behavior-ironic, particularly considering one of the things he was about to say.

"If I have offended you, I apologize. I'm confident you're here ultimately for reasons beyond physical attraction, though, BE HONEST, having a group of four or five plus attractive girls to come back to would be a motivator for any red-blooded male."

He paused.

"And frankly, since you are so eager to hear it-I've read the reports from the New York Combat Revue. There was, fittingly enough for a group that worked a theater by day, I suppose, a lot of theatrics in your operations. And from all the information I've gathered...frankly, you don't strike me as a professional."

He let that sink in.

"You got the job done, certainly, but you generally led with your heart rather than your head. Trust and camaraderie and sheer, unrefined willpower are all vital qualities in a fighting unit and a soldier, but where we're going, they won't be enough, I assure you. A well-aimed bullet kills the motivated and the unmotivated alike. And...as Washington put it, "discipline is the soul of an army". A professional is much more likely to have it than not. Adherence to protocols, respect for regs, and an obedience, if not a complete respect for, the chain-of-command. To be honest, in MUCH of this party you've gathered...I don't see much of that. I see plenty of "passion" and "drive" and "team spirit", but little if any discipline or strategic thought. And without either of those, a fighting unit WILL fail in the situations we're going to be expected to go into."

"There are some more...personal...reasons, I admit, for some of my comments, and in that regard, perhaps I've let my own discipline grow a little lax with my tongue, and for that again I apologize. Though I am afraid that a lack of planning or professional dedication will cause...problems...down the line."

He didn't need to go into specifics about his own issues concerning all the romance going on...

Though I still get to have the memories of my earlier...mental and emotional wrestling match...to rub all this crud in...

NYC Streets

Laila gave a nod, following her brother though town...Leading to-

"An airfield?" Laila asked "Why would Adrianna be here? Are you that twin-telepathy stuff is working?"

Airfield


Adrianna smiled, but suddenly froze, before looking around like a madwoman. She felt something, a tingle in her spine. She had a feeling hey were being watched.

"Shoot! My brother's here!" she groaned.

Opera House

"I'll explain everything once I get Sama to a hospital " Crystal said, still supporting her obviously loopy boyfriend. She wasn't sure how she would explain to Lenny their job...But she'd worry about that when Sama wasn't half-dead...Maybe Jeremie could pull some strings.

Rica’s Safehouse

"So when did you plan on getting rid of all my stuff around here?"

A few minutes later Kanna appeared, long dark hair tied back and wrapped in a white robe. Part of her was happy he chose to kept her clothes around....Most of her was creeped out.

“Your brother?” Oliver blinked. “Well then we should go find him!”

Oliver saw absolutely no problem with seeing Adrianna’s brother, despite how things might look with the two of them flying around in the middle of the night. Either he was a little dense, or he just didn’t worry.

[Opera House]

Lenny raised an eyebrow, but then he nodded.

“Alright. We’ll take my squad car, we can get to the hospital fast. You can explain on the way.”

[Rica’s Safehouse]

Rica shrugged as she appeared, and naturally he quickly walked over and invaded her personal space.

“Why would I get rid of it?” Rica blinked. Rica was a creepa, but he saw nothing wrong with that.

[Musashi’s safehouse]

Musashi narrowed his eyes.

“You’re right about some things… but you are VERY wrong about some other things. I do things different than you do, and that is precisely because the people under my command have not been soldiers. The Sakura Teams had to be made up of very specific people in order to control the Mechs, and if we had limited ourselves to just tapping the military, we would have had fewer candidates and had to choose less qualified individuals, which would have put a much greater damper on our effectiveness.”

“This group is unconventional, but sometimes that’s what we need. We know one another, we TRUST one another, and we know how to work together. The reason the Sakura Team worked so well is because I earned their respect, and they earned one another’s respect, and that made us work well together.”

He paused. “Another thing… you seem to believe that our victories were all just accidents. That there was no strategic thinking going into things… you are wrong. I have gone through strategy after strategy time and time again. I’ve analyzed battle plans, and even now YEARS after the fact I still go over old battles and try to find ways I could have led us better.”

“Make no mistake, Mr. Didymus. It was not a ‘fluke’ that I managed to go from Tokyo to New York City without detection from ANY of the countries we had to pass through. How many Japanese people do you think live in France? Or in Italy? Yugoslavia? Do you think we could make moved undetected through Europe BY ACCIDENT?”

Musashi shook his head. “I have done things in an unorthodox way. Sometimes I’ve done it that way by choice, sometimes by necessity. Do not for one moment believe I am not a capable soldier or a capable leader. I lead the Sakura Teams and we got the job done. In the interim between then and when I left Japan, I commanded a battleship. I have trained in the most prestigious military academy in Japan. I am every bit the soldier you are, Mr. Didymus. Yet while you have been involved in a regular military unit, my career has mainly focused on the irregular. We got the job done, and we didn’t lose anyone. I call that a success.”

"No we shouldn't!" Adrianna exclaimed, rushing after Oliver "Don't you know anything about older brothers!? They're super protective and he'll stab squash you like a little British bug!"

That wasn't exactly true, Aaron was pretty laid back...But she was embarrassed...

Rica’s Safehouse

Kanna rolled her eyes. "Because I haven't lived with you in years" Kanna pointed out, the space between she and Rica closing in. She took a step back. "You have a problem obviously. You're clinging to the past"

Kanna twisted a strand of her wet hair around her finger.

Opera House

"Uh s-sure! G-Great!" Crystal exclaimed, helping Sama into the squad car. "Come on...We're gonna get you all fixed up...."

...Hopefully.

Oliver blinked, tilting his head.

“Why on earth would your brother squash me? I haven’t done anything wrong.”

He just didn’t get it.

[Rica’s Safehouse]

Rica gave a small sigh and he stepped forward. “Of course I’m clinging to the past. You were the one bright spot in a life full of blood and bullets.”

Because Kanna would never be involved with blood and bullets…?

Suddenly Rica closed the gap between them, practically pressing his nose to her’s.

“Besides… you know there’s still something between us.”

[Lenny’s Car]

While Sama was practically drooling, leaning against the door of the car, Lenny turned on the siren and soon they were heading towards the hospital.

“So what’s going on?” Lenny demanded.

"Because that's what brothers do! Especially twin brothers! Geez, surely we're not that different than you guys across the pond?" Adrianna exclaimed, obviously just trying to keep the two parties apart.

Rica’s Safehouse

Kanna's face went warm as Rica moved forward, leaning down and pressing his nose against hers. Instantly the woman wrinkled her own nose. "Please, last time I checked you were just the guy who keeps me from getting blown up and digs bullets out of my skin. Surely that's it...Isn't it Mister Rica?"

She said that last part with a bit of a grin. "Nothing more and nothing less. Like a business associate-"

With perks.

Lenny’s Car

"Ummmmm well......You know about the Nazis right?" Crystal started, biting her bottom lip nervously. "Well....They're kinda getting slightly more gutsy....."

There wasn’t a huge difference between the Americans and the British; but Oliver was a weird guy no matter what country you judge him by. Yet he was a harmless weird.

“Well… if you want to stay away from him, we can hide in the hangar I suppose.” Oliver shrugged.

[Rica’s Safehouse]

“Kanna, darling… I think we passed ‘business associate’ a LONG time ago.” Rica chuckled, and he did not bother trying to move away from her.

“Remember those nights in Paris? Along the Seine?” Rica grinned. He could not help but bring up the past.

And then he kissed her.

[Lenny’s Car]

Lenny groaned.

“You’re telling me the Nazis are behind this? Germany attacked our Opera House? What does this mean… is this an act of war?” Lenny gasped.

“No… HYDRA… Germany can pretend they didn’t know…” Sama tried to explain, but he was still pretty out of it.

"Oh! Good idea!" Adrianna exclaimed, grabbing Oliver's arm. "Come on! Surely you know some good hiding places!"

Rica’s Safehouse


"Wow....You really do cling to the pas-"

Kanna's words were muffled as Rica kissed her, the woman moving in and giving in for a second. After all no one knew where they were. Nazis weren't going to attack in the next five minutes...

Well probably not.

Lenny’s Car

"Look, once Sama's okay we need to talk to someone...Perferably the president, about this." Crystal told Lenny. "The CIA can't even pull that many strings for me...Maybe you know someone who can help?"

Oliver nodded and headed into the hangar. He looked around, and spotted a large cabinet in the back of the room. It was made for storing airplane parts, but it was empty at the moment.

“Come on! We can hide in there.”

[Rica’s Safehouse]

Rica could only grin as he was not stabbed in the head or kidneys, and quickly wrapped his arms around her.

[Lenny’s Car]

“The President?” Lenny blinked. “Of the United States? Crystal, I’m a cop! How in the hell am I supposed to call Franklin Roosevelt? And what is a CIA?”

Since the CIA was still a secret agency at the moment, Lenny was only confused. He got even more confused when Sama spoke.

“I can get us in touch with the President.” He nodded.

It’s hard to know if he’s telling the truth, or he’s just loopy from the poison.

“Pretty sure...” Aaron said, looking around, “She's around here somewhere...”

He considered making some light so he could see better, but decided against it. Someone could be watching, or come across them, after all.

He shrugged, then held up his hands to his mouth, “Adrianna! Where are you?”

Marco started chuckling a little bit, with Nanami's answer. He wasn't laughing at her answer, but instead more at the situation, and how what she said pretty well backed him into a corner.

Marco did just earlier that evening, almost get himself killed. That makes it hard to answer with saying something about there being no reason to think that'd happen to him.

"Your confidence in my abilities has never been higher, it seems. Heh-heh..."

Nanami paused, looking over to Marco. It seemed like she had struck a nerve with him.

“… It’s not that.” Nanami eventually said in a soft voice, looking down to him. “I’m not doubting that you have abilities; but I know that many of the enemies we’re up against ALSO have skills and abilities, and should not be underestimated.”

She sighed. “… I take pride in my abilities. I am strong. I don’t doubt that if I had to, I could kill anyone in this house… but I know there are people a LOT stronger than me out there. I don’t want you to think you’re walking into an easy situation.”
