Bridge

Marco had a pretty good idea where Nanami was going with this, ever since she mentioned the river back at the hotel.

"In the best of circumstances, probably a little less than two minutes," he then answered Nanami, "I don't know how I'll do now, though, but I do have something to help give me a little more air."

[Bridge]

Nanami frowned, a hand on her hip as she glanced at Marco. She sometimes forgot that normal people could not control water, and did not like to stay submerged for too long.

“… Well, I suppose if you drown I can always bend the water out of your lungs.” Nanami sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Sorry Marco, no mouth-to-mouth for you.

“Anyways, it may not matter. The Siene River flows very close to the US Embassy.. If we follow the river back towards the Embassy, we only have a short run on land when we’ll be vulnerable to the bees.”

She frowned. “… But it means swimming quite a long ways down the river to get there. With your leg…”

She sighed, and kicked the side of the bridge out of anger. Nanami looked annoyed, though perhaps not for the reason Marco may have imagined.

Didymus was deep in thought at what Aiden said, reflecting, reflecting...

"You're not keeping me from my job, don't worry about that...not sure I've much more to do tonight..." he said.

Paris

-U.S. Embassy-

“I understand... I know you'd have to see things through. But I'll be there, with you, okay?” Jenny said, looking at Snake, taking one of his hands, “I'm not going to be waiting for you to come back. I'm going with you on this mission...”



Aiden smiled, “Oh! Well I'm glad I'm not keeping you from anything.”

She paused, then looked hopeful, “Is there a place in the embassy we could get something to eat? After all that happened earlier I'm feeling kind of hungry. I'd love if you could join me too, I like getting to know new people!”

Aiden grinned brightly up at Didymus.

New York City

-Safe House-

“Perhaps, but I'm not really worried about them breaking me,” Samuel said idly, overconfident in himself.

Ethan nodded to Rica, “True...it will still be difficult. HYRDA...the mythical beast said when you cut off one head, two more grow. Perhaps this means we should start from the ground up first...Start lower, and work our way up the chain of command.”

Marco simply stared at Nanami, when she mentioned using her powers to remove any water in his lungs, if he drowned. She had sort-of stated that she didn't think he was useless in the past, but sometimes the way she acted didn't really make her seem like the really believed that.

As she explained her plan, however, he nodded along, though she didn't answer one thing.

"But... wouldn't it be bad for the bees to track us to that embassy, after all, or...? He didn't ask in a tone that implied he was unhappy with her plan. He just was not sure what else she was thinking about, for when they made it to the embassy.

“… But it means swimming quite a long ways down the river to get there. With your leg…”

After she added in that, she seemed to be unhappy, kicking the bridge.

Marco sighed as well. It sure seemed like she was still unhappy with him for earlier.

"I'll get there, no problem," he then confidently proclaimed, "So let's go."

“Oh! Well I'm glad I'm not keeping you from anything.”

Didymus paused...

"Snake, maybe you should write down what you just went through...or at least, be ready to tell me. And tell me what happened. I think that it needs to be known. Though if you can be sure to remember...catch your breath and we can talk later..." he said.

He looked to Aiden, smiling up at him.

Hmmm...this girl does pique my curiousity...

"Come on, if you want, then..."

He took her to the embassy's cafeteria...

“I'll make sure he does when he's better,” Jenny said to Didymus, “Don't worry.”


Aiden grinned still, following Didymus to the cafeteria.

“Oh, thank you!” Aiden said, getting herself a plate. She picked out some fruits and veggies, those being the few things she didn't like burned to a crisp, before she sat down at a table to eat. If asked she'd say the things with meat in them all looked undercooked to her...but she didn't want to appear rude. She knew most people didn't like food the way she did.

“This is a very lovely place,” Aiden said to Didymus, “I've never been in an embassy before! It's very exciting.”

She smiled again as she took a bite out of an apple. “Thank you again for letting me come along and help. I hope I don't get in the way or anything...”

"But... wouldn't it be bad for the bees to track us to that embassy, after all, or...?”

Nanami nodded.

“It’s a risk. I had hoped we could just lay low and they would go away, but that’s not happening… and if we have to confront The Cobras, we’d stand a better chance at the Embassy than at a hotel. It’s better defended, and we wouldn’t be on our own.”

She frowned, crossing her arms. “… I’m not eager if it does become a fight to have the Americans blame me for bringing it to their doorstep, but it’s better than the two of us getting killed out here.”

Nanami turned to Marco.

"I'll get there, no problem," he then confidently proclaimed, "So let's go."

Slowly, Nanami nodded.

“Okay. I’ll trust your judgment.”

Suddenly, there was the sound of many, many small wings buzzing. Nanami spun around to see a large cloud of wasps coming across the darkened sky.

“Time to go. Deep breath.” She said to Marco, and immediately pushed him off the bridge. She jumped in after him a moment later.

The sudden rush of cold water was intense, but Nanami enjoyed the sensation. She blinked a few times to adjust to seeing underwater, and then quickly looked around for Marco.

[US Embassy]

Snake nodded to Jenny. He felt her take his hand, and he was silent for a moment. After a brief uncertain pause, he clenched his hand around hers.

“Okay.” Snake said simply. He had a lot on his mind. The fight against the Thule Society agent… the visions he had seen… and the knowledge that The Boss was in Paris. It all bothered him deeply, and he wasn’t sure what any of it meant.

“… I need a cigar.” Snake said, shaking his head.

Didymus had gotten something a bit more meaty...but he preferred his meat, unlike Aiden, pink and juicy.

“Thank you again for letting me come along and help. I hope I don't get in the way or anything...”

He wouldn't say it, but this girl's politeness and cheer was almost...suspect...to Didymus.

"An embassy? Exciting? Not sure that's the word I'd use, usually..." he said.

“You need rest,” Jenny said, “Come on...you should have a room here you so you can lie down and get some proper rest. A bed or a couch...”



“It is!” Aiden said, “It means I've gotten to visit the United States...I always wanted to be able to... Usually I stay around my dad a lot too...not usually on my own...”

Aiden was also nervous, part of the reason of her apologizing often. She didn't want to mess up, and prove she could handle things without having to rely on her dad.

“I would like to see the actual United States though...Visit New York City...Or Hollywood!” Aiden said, growing a little excited, “Have you been to those places yourself before?”

She leaned forward, red eyes alight now, “I love seeing and hearing about new places! Though I prefer to travel with someone else...One reason I haven't gone off on my own...”

Snake slowly climbed off the table and shook his head.

“Yeah… I guess I should rest… but not for very long.” Snake shook his head. He looked to Jenny, and he seemed absolutely serious in his tone. “I need to talk to Washington about what happened.”

Snake started to walk forward, but he stumbled. He straightened up and put his arm around Jenny’s shoulder.

As this girl gushed about the US, Didymus couldn't help but be somewhat charmed by her.

Girls that liked America had that effect on him.

He was still cautious, though.

Now, Aiden was leaning forward, asking him about his own travels and telling of her own travel preferences...

"New York and Hollywood...yeah, I've been to both. The former more than the latter..." he said.

She was still...strange, though...red eyes and white hair...

Certainly not natural per se, especially in light of her skin color as well...mutation, perhaps? Like with...hmmm...

Jenny supported Snake, helping him out of the room.

“If you need to talk to him, I'll go find him and bring him to you. If you want to be at your best, you need to rest. You're not a machine, Jack...” Jenny said, “We all need rest at some point...”



“Wow, I wish I could see those places someday...” Aiden said, closing her eyes for a moment and trying to imagine the skyscrapers, “Europe doesn't have very many really tall buildings, not like what I've read that America has.”

She grinned, leaning back some now.

“I don't want to dominate the conversation though...I'm sure you have some questions too,” Aiden then added, “Is there anything you want to know? I've seen a lot of Europe, so I might be able to answer some questions with that too!”

Snake grunted as they headed into another, smaller room. He sat down on a couch and leaned down, sighing and leaning against the arm of the couch.

“… I’m not a machine, you’re right… but I’m also not a rookie. I don’t need to sit around and sleep. Not when there’s still so much that needs to be done.”

“Wow, I wish I could see those places someday...”

"Ah, they're...alright. Kind of. I...have seen a lot of their bad sides..." Didymus said. “Europe doesn't have very many really tall buildings, not like what I've read that America has.”

"And America doesn't have a lot of the history that Europe has. Make no mistake, I'd bleed on America's flag to make sure the stripes stay red, but some places in Europe...like Notre Dame for example, though certainly not ONLY there...where you can just FEEL it, as if you could at least. The weight of over a thousand years of Christendom, or at the very least, Western civilization...it's moving in any case."

“Is there anything you want to know? I've seen a lot of Europe, so I might be able to answer some questions with that too!”

"Questions...?" Didymus said. "...not sure, really. Probably more about you and your father yourselves, rather than the places you've been..." he said.
