GRAPPLING HOOK!


New York City

Streets

Joyce was shoved out of the way, Sage taking the bomb from her and rushing off. By the time she had recovered from the sudden movement Sage was already out the door. Instantly Joce scrambled up and chased after the boy, yelling loudly. "SAGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

He was going to get himself blown up trying to protect her!

Empire State Building

Elizabeth followed Galv out of the building, heading into the open air and away from all the dust and debris from the explosions. She gave a loud cough, still clutching her nephew tightly. She wasn't even sure if he was conscious at this point, but as soon as they were somewhere safe she'd make sure he was alright...The poor boy looked as if he had been through hell and back which was heartbreaking to say the least.

Flashback

Melanie had no way of keeping Samuel around so she let him go. Galv was right, once the man left he didn't come back for quite some time...She wondered if he'd ever come back again to check on his children-- or soon to be grandchild.

A few months after Samuel left Melanie and Galv did get closer, becoming an official couple. Melanie found herself spending more and more time with the young man, until she was comfortable enough to spend the night with him-

Of course even the thought of doing anything more than kissing Galv was horribly embarrassing. After all they were still sharing a house with Galv's grandfather and Elizabeth as they saved up money for their own place....And perhaps a wedding? But despite all the embarrassment Melanie now had a baby on the way-- Which Elizabeth found amazement in.

The young girl was enamored at the idea of becoming an aunt, and often pestered the older girl to explain everything about what was happening to her. Somehow Melanie was able to avoid the birds and bees discussion, though she had been forced to sit for several hours in the last few weeks just so Elizabeth could touch her belly and feel the baby kick in different spots. Not that Melanie minded, it actually proved to be a good distraction from Samuel missing another of Elizabeth's birthdays.

New York City

-Streets-

“I'm saving you!” Sage yelled, “And everyone else!”

He kept rushing down the streets, pushing past people, running towards the river. “Stay away Joyce!”

Sage wasn't going to let Joyce get hurt if he could help it! He might not have a power, but that didn't mean he couldn't do something...

-Empire State Building-

Once they were outside, Galv, Elizabeth, and Blake were able to blend into the crowd easily enough, Galv taking Blake from his sister now.

“Blake, are you okay?” Galv asked, speaking quietly.

“...tired...” Blake mumbled softly. Galv frowned, looking around, then turned back to Elizabeth.

“We should get home...”

Flashback

There was a knock at the door. Galv was still at work, and trying to possibly get a raise to help pay for his soon to be new child, and a wedding for himself and Melanie, not wanting to take any of his grandfather's money.

If Melanie were to answer it, she'd see a pretty young woman about her and Galv's age, with long red hair, green eyes, and wearing a very expensive dress. A man was standing not too far from her, tall and imposing in a nice suit, wearing dark glasses over his eyes...

New York City

Joyce continued to rush after Sage, knowing that he was crazily doing this to keep her safe. She doubted she would be able to explain that she was better off taking the bomb...So instead she just yelled after him.

"YOU DUMMY YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF!" she called out, continuing to run.

All the while the bomb continued to tick...It was getting close to a MAJOR explosion.

Empire State Building

"Is he alright?" Elizabeth asked, watching Galv look over his youngest child.

“We should get home...”

She gave a nod, following her brother home. She wanted to mention that they were leaving their bikes...But Blake was more important.

Flashback

Melanie had been cleaning the house, doing what she could to give back to Galv's grandfather for letting her stay here--especially now. When the doorbell rang the young woman came over and opened the door. She was met with another girl....Who had the same bright red hair as Galv. She blinked, obviously not recognizing her.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

[Bank]

Sama grinned brightly as he took Crystal’s arm and let her pull him towards the dance floor. Now this was his kind of espionage! He was wearing a tuxedo, had a beautiful girl on his arm… if not for the messy hair, he could have passed for James Bond. Who won’t be invented until after WWII, but whatever.

“Then by all means, let’s dance!” Sama smirked.



Kimi, meanwhile, looked over to Jeremie and gave a small grunt. “Well? Come on. Let’s go find the information first. I don’t like Sama doing things before me.”

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Connor watched without ever once batting an eye. Sarai had a lot of brothers, and they didn’t seem very friendly. Of course, having an injured old man and his grandson show up without any warning and bleed all over their couch was probably not their idea of a good night.

“You don’t have to apologize. I understand. And I’m sorry to be such a bother on you like this.” Connor said to Kalyan.

[Waterfront Apartments]

“We need to go,” Musashi agreed, nodding his head. “We’re still in danger. Which by the way, Satomi, why the heck did your ninjas attack us anyway?”

Satomi looked up at her brother and frowned. “... I didn’t want them to, but they said they had to. They wouldn’t listen to me. But that’s not important! What matters most is I brought the Sakura Machine… but we should hurry and get it from the port.”

Musashi nodded. “We will. Okay, we need to get back to the Embassy…”

Marco made his way over next to Nanami, as Musashi and his apparent-sister spoke.

"I don't know exactly about all that," Marco then started to whisper into Nanami's ear, "but does this seem to you, like as much of a trap as it seems to me?"

They had brought a number of ninjas along that wouldn't listen to this girl, and brought one of their Sakura Machines for some reason. And with what Satomi had said, combined with the roof meeting, those ninjas were probably all well aware of Musashi being in town.

Very promising developments.

“No! I... will save... you!” Sage said, breathing heavily as he started to get close to the river. He heaved his arm back, then threw, tossing the bomb into the river!

He hoped it would work...

-Empire State Building-

Galv headed to his bike, then paused.

“...Maybe I should think about getting a sidecar...” Galv said to himself, “Elizabeth, you can go on ahead on your own bike. I'll catch up on foot. Let Melanie know Blake and I are okay.”

Flashback

“Hello,” the red haired woman smiled, “My name is Lily. Lily Gallic, of Gallic Enterprises. May I come in?”

Before Melanie could even say anything, Lily stepped inside, the man in the suit staying outside though.

Lily looked around, then turned back to Melanie, “I was looking for Galv Hawkins. I was informed that he lived here?”

Her green eyes darted to Melanie's stomach for a brief moment, then back to Melanie's face. Lily almost certainly knew more then she was letting on.

New York City

Sage must have had AMAZING luck, or a guardian angel, because as soon as he tossed the bomb it hit the water and exploded! Instantly Joyce grabbed her boyfriend, ducking her head against him as the water and dirt rose and covered them both.

A few seconds later Joyce gave a cough, moving her head up to look at Sage and wiping her soaked raven hair out from her eyes. She then proceeded to smack the boy in the arm.

"YOU IDIOT! You could have died!!" she exclaimed

Empire State Building

Elizabeth gave a nod, jumping on her own bike and revving it to life. "Be careful big brother and come straight back. Melanie is going to be a wreck"

And with that she sped off.

Paris

"It's alright, i'm glad we can help" Kalyan said, moving in front of Corwin. "Where does it hurt the most?"

Sarai came in a moment later, holding a tray of tea and milk-- and looking...Different.

She was now wearing a green sari, her long hair tied back. Her clothes now mirrored the style of her brothers'. She quietly came in, placing the tray on the table in front of them.

Bank

Crystal smiled, moving close to Sama and starting to dance. While she was very much enjoying herself but she was also keeping her eyes pealed for any suspicious behavior.

[...]

"You and that guy have a verrrrry strange relationship don't you?" Jeremie asked, raising a brow. He led her to a bar, ordering himself a water....Because he's lame.

Flashback

Melanie blinked...She had heard of Gallic Enterprises, everyone had.....The real question was why did a Gallic want to speak with Galv...

"He does.....But he's not in right now...He's at work" Melanie said carefully. "Did you need him for something urgent?"

"MELANIE! I need your heeeeeellllllppp!"

Elizabeth rushed in, skidding in her socks on the hardwood floor. She almost slid right into the older girl, Melanie was quick to catch her. Once she had stopped Elizabeth gave a little laugh that only stopped when she noticed they were not alone. "Ummmmmm hi there" she said to the two strangers.

Sage winced slightly when Joyce punched his arm, looking sheepish at the girl.

“Sorry... but... I was worried about you,” Sage said, “I wanted to save you...”

He gave Joyce a small smile, “I might not have a cool power like you, but I can still do stuff... And we should probably get out of here, before the cops show up and start asking questions.”



As Elizabeth headed back home, Galv held his son tightly, sighing softly as he walked down the street.

“Oh Blake... I know you try so hard to do what's right,” Galv said softly, Blake's head on his father's shoulder, “I think I know what's wrong... you do have my spark too, but something's stopping you from using it like me or your sister...”

He sighed a little, wondering how he could help his son...

Flashback

Lily paused, staring at Elizabeth for a moment when she came rushing in. Instead of being angry, Lily seemed quiet... distant almost.

She then turned her attention back to Melanie, Lily smiling.

“Oh, Gallic Enterprises wants to offer Mr. Hawkins a job,” Lily answered, “He has some unique skills we think would be best handled by us. We're prepared to offer a substantial salary, more then he makes now, of course.”

[Waterfront Apartments]

Nanami took Marco by the arm and pulled him off to the side, so they could speak in silence. She leaned close and whispered quickly and quietly.

“It’s definitely a trap.” Nanami frowned, crossing her arms and peering around with crimson eyes narrowed. “Someone in Japan is using Satomi to try to get to Musashi… but they wouldn’t do too much out in the open in Paris. The real trap will be at the Sakura Machine… but we don’t have a choice.”

She sighed. “Right now we should get off this roof.”

[Sarai’s House]

Corwin was still barely conscious, but he took notice of Kalyan and simply grunted. He leaned back, closing his eyes and sighing quietly.

“He’ll be alright.” Connor said to Kalyan. “He needs time to rest.”

His eyes moved to Sarai. She looked very different dressed this way, and Connor’s cheeks soon heated up.

[New York]

[Bank]

Sama would have loved to focus entirely on Crystal, but he had to scan the room, looking for suspicious activity. He leaned close as they danced.

“See anything?”

[…]

“Gee, you must be a genius effing detective to figure that out.” Kimi rolled her eyes and leaned against the wall, arms crossed and she looked towards Jeremie.

New York City

"Yeah, they may cant to know why a kid was running through the streets with a bomb just to throw it in the Hudson" Joyce said, peeling off her soaked coat and abandoning it on the ground. She was cold thanks to the water, but luckily her body was already working in overdrive to warm her up. She never had to worry about being chilly for more than a few minutes thanks to her dad.

The girl walked ahead of Sage, still looking a bit annoyed that he would do something so dangerous. "I'm still mad you'd do something like that...But thanks for keeping me safe"

Bank

"Just a couple old crickity looking guys and some slinky looking ladies...Nothing really dangerous" Crystal said with a frown, moving closer. "You're a detective right? What does the bad guy usually look like?"

[...]

"You know, you could stand to be a bit less sarcastic and a bit more charming. No one here is going to believe for a nano-second that you are a high-class girl if you act like this." Jeremie stupidly said, obviously having a death wish.

Paris

"Definitely a strong old man if he can tough it out with those kinds of injuries" Kalyan stated, accepting a cup of tea Sarai handed him. She then offered one to Connor. "How'd he get in this condition anyways."

Instantly Sarai's grip on the cup she was offering tightened and the girl bit her lip. "A-An accident"

"What kind of accident would do all this?" Kalyan frowned "You weren't hurt were you"

Sarai shook her head "I'm fine"

Kalyan looked to Connor "And you? You're alright?"


Flashback

"A job?" Melanie asked, looking surprised--but also delighted. Money is what the two needed to move on their own and start their family properly...She knew Galv was content with his current job, but he always did like a challenge...

The young woman then paused. Lily has mentioned Galv's skills--and that they would best be handled by Gallic Enterprises...She frowned a bit.

"What would Galv be doing?" Melanie asked, stopping for a moment. The baby kicked and she decided she wanted to sit for a moment. "Please, come in" she added politely before looking back to Elizabeth. "Can you get our guests some tea?"

Elizabeth nodded, rushing from the room.

"I hope you don't mind tea, Galv was never one for coffee so we never really have it"

Sama shrugged his shoulders. “There’s no telling what a bad guy can look like. It’s not like the comics where they all dress in black and have big scars on their faces. The smartest criminals try to blend in to their environment.”

He sighed a little, looking around the room. “So a smart criminal won’t stand out.”

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

“I’m fine too.” Connor said, looking to Kalyan. He didn’t really want to tell them that they had been fighting Nazis in a warehouse. He glanced over at his grandfather, watching the man sleep, and then looked to Kalyan.

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

Sage sighed, though smiled a bit and walked behind Joyce, as the two disappeared into the crowd.

“Can't I make it up to you? I could buy you some candy or something?” Sage asked, “Maybe a new notebook and pen for your reporting?”

Flashback

“Tea sounds lovely,” Lily said, sitting down across from Melanie, watching Elizabeth hurry out of the room before she turned her attention back to Melanie.

“What would Galv be doing?” Lily echoed, then smiled, “Why, I think that would be between Galv and Gallic Enterprises. What relationship do you have with him anyways?”

Only the love of his life and soon to be mother of his child, is all.

Streets

Joyce signed, stopping and turning to her boyfriend. She took his hands.

"You don't need to buy me anything, just don't do that again okay? I know you want to protect me but sometimes there's things that I should do....Life or death things for instance"

She didn't mean to offend him, but it was true. But just in case he was offended she moved forward and kissed him.

Bank

Crysta frowned "They make it look so much easier in the pictures"

She moved a bit closer to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. She continued to dance for a few moments before her eyes fell on a couple bankers a few feet away....They seemed to be talking and looking a bit suspicious...Well, she supposed that she had to start somewhere....She took a step away from Sama and smiled. "I'm gonna go try my luck, don't find a new rich girlfriend while i'm gone"

Paris

Kalyan nodded, standing up. "No problem, i'll leave you guys for a bit...I probably should explain to dad about all of this before he stumbles in on it"

He headed out leaving Sarai and Connor with Corwin. She gave a shy smile as she made her own cup of tea. "I'm glad your grandfather is going to be alright" she told him. "We can stay here as long as he needs, no one will mess with any of the embassies.

Except you know...Terrorists.

Flashback

Melanie frowned, but gave the girl the benefit of the doubt...She didn't want to offend someone who could perhaps give Galv a better job. "I'm his girlfriend." she said, smiling once more. "I just want to make sure he's safe, I mean he has a sister at him, and a baby soon"

“I guess...” Sage said, blushing as Joyce kissed him now. He smiled down at the girl, “But I still want to prove that I can handle things too, even if... well... you know.”

He didn't want to mention Joyce having a power in public.

“Maybe we should head back to your house now?” Sage suggested, “Your parents might have found out we skipped out...”

Flashback

“Oh, a child on the way?” Lily said, “I see... Congratulations. Perhaps the child will have Galv's skills as well.”

Lily smiled cryptically towards Melanie, “Are you two hoping for a boy or a girl?”

New York City

Elizabeth made it back to Galv's house, stepping in and immediately being met with an overly concerned Melanie at the door. She had to quickly explain that Galv was on his way before Melanie could have a full blown panic attack.

[...]

Joyce gave a nod, hoping no one noticed they ever left…That was highly unlikely though….

“Alright…Also how about we not mention the whole almost blew ourselves up thing to my mom and dad?” she asked, continuing on.

The two teens headed back to the house, making it there shortly after Elizabeth and even Galv and Blake…Joyce wondered if it would be smarter to go through the window or the front door.


Flashback


Melanie blinked, unsure if she wanted the child to have either of their powers…While they were amazing abilities, they were also very dangerous. She supposed the child would be better off with Galv’s than her own though.

“I think Galv is hoping for a boy, though I’m sure he’d be happy with a little girl too” Melanie stated, looking to the door as Elizabeth walked back in, carefully balancing a tray of tea and cookies.

“I want it to be a girl” Elizabeth declared with a grin “That way it’ll be like I have a sister!”

Oh the irony.
