I can't see what you're imagining
-Notre Dame-

Aiden smiled as Didymus talked to her, his points making her feel better.

“I suppose so... I would still be me if my powers disappeared,” Aiden said, “But I guess it's hard for me to imagine what I'd be like without my powers.”

She clasped her hands in front of her for a moment, looking upwards at the sky for a couple moments.

“I wouldn't want to bow to no man... Even if I find someone who'd be my husband, he'd have to be my equal...” Aiden added.

"...though I will admit, I do, perhaps, find myself...well, the blueblood we DID meet isn't bad..."

“...Yes, she seems nice...” Aiden said. Thing is, Alice did seem quite nice and Aiden had nothing against the girl...except that Didymus seemed to like her, and Aiden was still jealous, even if she didn't want to be.

Notre Dame

“I wouldn't want to bow to no man... Even if I find someone who'd be my husband, he'd have to be my equal...”

Didymus paused.

"I may often reflect upon the nature of a Biblical family...it appears to me that the man is supposed to be the head, indeed, it's written for wives to submit to their husbands, but also, as my own father pointed out to me...marriage is, to an extent, perhaps, a picture of Christ and the church, and the man is to lead as Christ led, to love as He loved..." he said.

"But one of my favorite little sayings is he who kneels before God may stand before all others..." he added.

"And yes, Alice does seem nice...perhaps I'll see if I can't get more of her story later, though she's told most of it...and I doubt she'd want to talk about her life as a German aristocrat..."

“I think maybe we're talking about different things...” Aiden said, thinking, “What I mean is I won't let any man order me around, tell me what to do with absolute authority. But someone I can trust, someone I love... I would listen to his words and act on them, because they are someone I can believe in.”

Her smile widened a little as she looked towards Didymus, then blushed as she looked away now.

“I'm sure Alice's story is interesting...I'd like to hear it too,” Aiden added, “If you don't mind me being around to hear it too...”

Make sure there wasn't any hand holding going on.

Chloe's Bar

"Powers....Like some sort of comic superhero?" Chloe said, raising a brow. She had never thought of her strength as a power...She just thought she was really strong. Like REALLY strong.

Aaron then proceeded to crack a block of debris...But he didn't smash it in half. He was definitely true in saying she didn't have that kind of control...But she did have a big ego.

"Oh move over, I can do that too" Chloe said, shoving Aaron lightly and taking aim at the debris. She then proceeded to smash it into dust.


[...]

"China? What were you doing over there?" Sarai asked, more interested than suspicious. "You and your grandfather must have really interesting jobs to get to go places like that!"
Hawkins' House

"I know you will, love" Melanie said, ruffling Blake's red hair. She then stood up, motioning to the food and cocoa she had brought for Blake. "You eat darling, if you want you can help me out with a few things later...I have a few errands in town and we can stop at that comic book store you like."

New York City

Park

“...Maybe we should go talk to your aunt...My dad has been spending a lot of time with her...”

Joyce blinked "You mean Lily? Do you think she'd be willing to talk to us?"

If it pissed off Galv. Probably.

Hotel

Jeremie motioned for Crystal and the others to take a seat near the back, the group staying relatively quiet as they waited for someone to come out. Crystal took the opportunity to pull out a small notebook, in case anything important was discussed.

Suddenly a man in a business suit walked up to the podium his hair slicked back and a calm yet serious expression on his face. Everyone suddenly went silent.

"Good morning all, in case you do not know me I am Agent Axel Hughes, a field agent to the CIA and assigned to directly protect the president of the United States. I am very glad you were all able to make it, as I fear if we do not have this meeting now we won't have another chance before something big happens."

Hughes paused for a moment, taking a sip out of a glass in front of him.

"Now I know you all have been fully briefed on the terrorist attacks in New York City, and now we have come to believe it to be the work of Nazi saboteurs...We have also begun the process of connecting the party to several attempted attacks in San Francisco, Boston, and even Washington DC. None of these have made quite as much of an impact as New York, but they should be noted. A Polish foreign diplomat was killed in the San Fran attack, and the daughter of a Dutch banker in DC was kidnapped for a short period before being located and retrieved. She described her captors as fanatical Germans"

Musashi accepted the folders, and quickly slid them into a knapsack. He then looked to her with a smile when she asked if he wanted to stay for the performance.

“I’d love to, and if it were up to me I would… but I have a lot of people waiting on me, and I doubt they’d be very happy if I stay for a show.” Musashi sighed, rubbing his neck. Then he gave a smile.

“However, if I have some time left over, I’ll definitely be back.”

Musashi bowed to her.

[Chloe’s Bar]

Connor just rubbed the back of his neck. He would have liked to tell Sarai the details about what he was doing in China, but he knew that he could not.

“Well, like I said, we travel a lot. We’d heard about the war happening between China and Japan, and we went to see if we could help refugees displaced by the fighting.” Connor explained. It was partially true, at least.

[New York City]

[Hotel]

Sama frowned as Axel Hughes explained about the other attacks. A Polish diplomat? A Dutch banker?

“It sounds like they’re targeting foreign nationals in the US… the diplomatic was obviously a straightforward assassination, but kidnapping a banker’s daughter… you should check to see what kind of accounts that banker handles. In all likelihood, they were trying to force him to steal from those accounts, or maybe give up information on a bank so they could rob it…”

Sama instinctively gave his opinion, even though Jeremie had strictly told him not to. The boy didn’t seem to realize this until it was too late, though.

"That's very philanthropic of you" Sarai said, taking another sip of her water "So you travel the world doing charity work. That actually sounds quite nice. Many people must be very grateful for your help. I've always wanted to see other places, but as of now my brothers and my visa is limited to France and India."

New York City

Hotel

The room suddenly turned their attention to Sama, at which Jeremie groaned loudly. Even Crystal looked a little worried.

Hughes didn't seem to be disturbed by the sudden interruption, instead taking notice to Sama as well and gave a nod. "Rest assured young man that we are looking into that possibility...Though nothing has come up from it yet. The Germans didn't manage to touch a cent of the bank's money before we got the girl so we're confident that all is well on that front"

Never be confident when it has to do with Nazis.

Hughes then raised a brow. "What's your name by the way?"

Jeremie instantly glared at Sama, as if silently telling him not to say something dumb.

Connor smiled to Sarai as she sounded impressed by his work. Of course, she didn’t know the whole story, but Connor hoped that would have impressed her too.

“We rarely use visas.” Connor said before he really thought too hard about it. Then he flushed when he realized he had basically admitted that he and his grandfather frequently snuck in and out of countries illegally. “Ah… um… forget I said that, okay?”

He rubbed his neck nervously.

[New York City]

[Hotel]

Sama suddenly realized every eye in the room was on him, and he gulped. Even with his connections, he wasn’t sure he wanted to anger an entire room full of secret agents… it sounded like the kind of thing that could go very wrong, very fast.

“I’m Sama, a freelance detective.” He introduced himself, trying not to let his worry show on his face. “Sorry to interrupt… although since I’ve already stuck my foot in my mouth, I might as well add that you should check into the Polish diplomat, too. Most diplomatic have spies working for them, so that could play a role in his murder if one of the polish spies at the Embassy had ties to the Germans…”

Sama rubbed his neck. “I’ll, um, shut up now.”

Sarai blinked when Connor basically admitted that he and his grandfather snuck out of the country several times...And made it with apparently no problems. Suddenly the girl leaned across the bar, moving rather close to the young man. "H-How did you manage to do that!? I mean it's pretty much impossible after World War I!"

Sarai suddenly moved back, looking a bit embarrassed. "S-Sorry, probably a weird thing to ask...."

New York City

Hughes blinked "A freelance? Funny, this meeting was supposed to be closed to CIA personnel only....Who did you come with young man?"

Jeremie looked as if he was going to have a panic attack now. So did Crystal actually.

Connor blinked as Sarai leaned closer to him, and his cheeks turned a bit red. He was surprised that she was so enthusiastic about it.

“Oh… well, we’ve gotten to be pretty good at sneaking around.” Connor said, rubbing his neck. “My grandfather knows a lot of people…”

"S-Sorry, probably a weird thing to ask...."

“I-It’s okay… you can ask whatever you want…” Connor said, rubbing his neck.

[New York City]

[Hotel]

Sama rubbed the back of his neck.

“Oh… well, I came with Crystal over there… ah, but its okay, because I’m working with the CIA. I was authorized by Bill Donovan!” Sama quickly added.

Wild Bill Donovan was the head of the OSS… and the creator of the CIA. He’s a real person, too! The most decorated soldier in history. He’s also slightly insane.

“So… you know… it’s okay for me to be here…” Sama was getting nervous.

“If you want to think of it like that, yah, like the comic book super heroes,” Aaron answered, nodding his head. He watched Chloe attempt to duplicate what he did, instead just smashing the boulder.

“No...You have to focus, keep in control,” Aaron answered, walking over towards her, “I spent most of my life learning this control though. It's not something you can just pick up.”

He put his hand on Chloe's shoulder, then spun her around so she was facing him. “Think of the control you use when handling something more delicate, like a glass, another person... Things you wouldn't want to break.”

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

Blake's eyes lit up when Melanie mentioned him going with her and stopping at the comic book shop.

“Can Samara come too?” Blake asked, “I think she'd enjoy it too...”

-Park-

“I don't know...maybe if my dad is there too?” Sage suggested, “They're probably at the office. We should head over there.”

Sage then paused, pulling out his wallet and taking out some money, before walking over to Lenny, “Here, thanks for what you could tell us. Get something hot for lunch for you guys, it looks like it's going to get cold today.”

Didymus paused, perhaps even shuffled a bit as Aiden looked at him after describing her ideal husband, concluding that she was genuine or a good actress...

"Um...it shouldn't really matter if you're around or not when Alice tells her story...unless perhaps we wouldn't be able to get her to tell it more than once...but she may be willing to speak of her life multiple times if she trusts us all enough..." he said.

"Looks like the perimeter sweep is completed, let's head back inside, maybe I'll converse with Alice or Miss Fontaine..."

“I just want to get to know her better too. She does seem really nice,” Aiden said. Of course the real reason was because she was still crushing on Didymus and didn't want to leave his side if she could help it.

She sighed a little as they turned back to head inside, glancing back and forth towards Didymus.

“I understand if you can't tell me this, but how long do you think you might be here in Paris?” Aiden asked, “Or...if maybe you could use my help still? I know a few languages here in Europe, at least enough to get by in most countries, so I could help work as an interpreter or something...”

Plus she'd be handy if you need to burn things! ...wait...

“Think of the control you use when handling something more delicate, like a glass, another person... Things you wouldn't want to break.”

Chloe blinked as Aaron pulled her around, looking at her intently. She stared back, before realizing she was staring. "Uh...Yeah..."

[...]

“I-It’s okay… you can ask whatever you want…”

"Do you think your grandfather would be able to help me out wish getting out of the country?" she asked, before backtracking a bit. "It's actually not for m-me, it's for Chloe. i've been working hard to do it myself, but even as a child of a diplomat there's some things I cannot do"

New York City

Hawkins' House

Melanie sighed, but nodded "Of course darling, you eat up now"

Melanie left the boy to his breakfast, the woman coming down the stairs to see her husband.

Park

Lenny took the money with a nod, though he'd probably just buy booze with the guys. It seemed to warm them up better anyways...

Joyce took Sage's arm, looking up at the boy. "You know you didn't have to do that, I could have paid them"

Joyce often saved her allowance, to use to pay (aka bribe) her contacts. She knew that was the only way many of them would be willing to talk to a teenage girl. This often meant skipping out on treats or new notebooks in favor of quotes and leads...

Of course she knew Sage was VERY rich. But she never wanted to be 'that' friend.

Hotel

Oh… well, I came with Crystal over there… ah, but its okay, because I’m working with the CIA. I was authorized by Bill Donovan!”

Hughes raised a brow. "Donovan authorized you? Well now....This doesn't happen very often. Freelance CIA agents and such. I think I would like to speak to you when we finish up here."

Jeremie was about to scream. Obviously Hughes paid no attention to the blonde.

"But for now we should really continue. Time is limited after all... We have very obvious goals right now as an organization: protect the president and the public. To do that the CIA will be profiling all German nationals as they come in and out of the country. Those we deem a threat will be detained. The same protocol will be taken with random travelers of Eastern Europe descent and those of Asian countries. We have reason to believe the royal family in Japan is willing to negotiate with the Germans to protect their own people."

Sama rubbed the back of his neck. It didn’t seem like Hughes hated him, or was too angry… and hopefully with Donovan’s permission, everything would work out alright.

“Wait a minute… we can’t just do that, can we? Profiling every German that comes into the country? I mean, with the Nazis and stuff, I’m sure there’s people who will want to flee from Germany…” Sama said, once again interrupting.

[Paris]

[Chattes Noires]

Musashi headed back out the door and into the street, and immediately Nanami approached him, looking around cautiously.

“I take it things went well?” Nanami asked.

“Yeah. She was a little odd, but I got the information we need.” Musashi said, shrugging his shoulders. “Come on. We should head to the Notre Dame.”

“Why there? You seem a little too eager to report in.” Nanami noticed, raising an eyebrow.

“Normally I wouldn’t be, but one of the girls from the Sakura Team should be there, so I don’t want to miss the chance. Though we should call the hotel, see if Laila and Adrianna can meet us there…” Musashi decided, rubbing his chin.

“And hey… where’s Marco?” Musashi asked.

[Chloe’s Bar]

Connor blinked when Sarai asked if his grandfather could help get Sarai and Chloe out of the country. He knew that Corwin was capable of it, but he wasn’t sure if his grandfather would agree to help them or not… it would mean using those resources…

Connor stared at Sarai… she was so pretty… and she had been so nice to him…

“I’ll ask my grandpa. But where do you want to go?” Connor asked.

Axel paused once more when Sama spoke up, and once again eyes were on the uninvited detective.

"Actually we can. A recommendation from the CIA will be placed on the President's desk in the morning, with hopes that he will place an executive order out by the end of the week. You must understand that we have thought long and hard about this decision, and we feel for the time being it's for the best."

Crystal sat in her spot, clenching the fabric of her skirt. She was obviously upset with the idea as well..But she chose to stay quiet for the moment.

Sarai thought about it for a moment before answering Connor. "America would be ideal...Somewhere she's be safe for awhile....Not that she'll want to leave with the bar and everything but she really needs to"

Sarai moved back and started to clean her glass, looking back at the boy. "Can you keep a secret?"
