As Nanami spoke about what she thought about things, Marco listened intently. Though as she commented about people going behind the Japanese Emperor's back, wanting or trying to take more power, the only thought that came to Marco's mind was of this mysterious father of Nanami's. He had a feeling from the very few bits she had alluded to in the past, about her father, that this idea seemed like it was right down her father's alley.

Though he also was a bit of a conversation ender, so just casually bringing him up in conversation here would probably be a really bad move, unless it was urgently relevant.

And it wasn't relevant enough, even if it was his plan to send whoever it was that was currently on Satomi's bodyguard duty out here to pull off this trap, because he wasn't going to be here. Mentioning Nanami's father would just infuriate her, and end this dialogue. And Marco liked talking, especially to Nanami, and especially especially since Nanami often wasn't much of a talker herself.

More importantly than just the 'joys of conversation', though, he wanted to continue speaking with her about the bodyguard Nanami thought had been sent with Satomi.

"Does the lady have any abilities like you have with water and ice?"

She's probably Azula, so yes. Yes she does, Marco. And be afraid.

I can't see what you're imagining
New York City

-Hawkins' House-

“No. Melanie, it's not your fault... It's mine. My electricity mixes with your shadows weirdly, it's not you,” Galv said, shaking his head, “It's my spark that's causing him pain...”

Blake frowned, then shook his own head, “No... no... it's my fault. I'm not strong enough to use both powers...”

Galv quickly turned back to his son, “No. Blake, it's not your fault either... You're very strong.”



Sage smiled as Joyce kissed him, tempted to kiss her back, but suppressed the urge, Joyce's father being well within lightning bolt range.

“Oh, umm... nothing important,” Sage said, lying badly. He didn't want to tell Joyce he was worried she thought he wasn't good enough for her because he had no abilities.

“She mostly just wondered where we had been,” Sage added, which was partially true, “And why we were soaked...”

Flashback

“I don't know what he wants with Galv...” Samuel answered, “Probably the same thing he wanted Levina for...”

He shook his head, frowning as he stared at Melanie.

“If Galv wants to work there, that's his business, but he should know the full consequences of what he's getting into! Don't you... don't you understand? Galv's power? His ability? He's one person, and he has an incredible amount of raw energy in him. He dwarfs what his mother could do by several magnitudes,” Samuel said, “And now he's with a man who'd want to point him in one direction and unleash that on anyone in his way...”

"Oh baby, it's not you...It was never anything you did my love" Melanie said to Blake, leaning in and kissing the top of the boy's head. "You're so young and so incredibly talented Blake. We couldn't ask anything else from you"

[...]

Joyce smiled, stepping forward and grinning up at him. "Suuuuuure, don't worry you don't have to tell me what you guys were really talking about" she said with a giggle. "You do like...Us...Right? I mean she's not talking you out of anything right?"

Flashback

Melanie frowned, placing a hand on her belly. "I understand his powers, but I also know that Galv won't just let someone use him. You don't give him enough credit"

At the same time Melanie could understand the panic...She moved to grab her coat. "If you're so worried we'll go find him. If you want to help you wont disappear this time"

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Connor paused as he spotted Sarai’s father. He stood up from the couch and brushed his hands off on his sides. He definitely didn’t want to get in trouble with Sarai’s father… but he knew he couldn’t move his grandfather yet, so he had to face him.

“Hello, sir.” Connor said pleasantly.

[US Embassy]

Oliver sighed a bit and leaned against the wall. He frowned deeply. “Well, at any rate… I admit I first approached you in New York because I was looking for Rica… but this stuff you’re mixed up in now? The Sakura Mechs and the Japanese Prince working for the Americans… this is some heavy stuff.”

The British boy grinned a bit. “That happens to be my specialty. I think I can help out a lot.”




“Yes. She does.” Nanami nodded in affirmation. “She’s incredibly dangerous. She’s one of the most dangerous people in the entire Imperial bodyguard clan.”

She sighed, closing her eyes. This was a bad situation… Nanami really didn’t want to think about the possibility that ‘she’ could be here… but it was the most obvious explanation. This trap had her fingerprints all over it.

“Damn it.” Nanami leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. “This is going to be one of those days, Marco…”

[New York]

[Bank]

Sama shrugged his shoulders. “I’m looking for the most valuable thing in the world, Madame… information.”

He grinned a bit and leaned against the wall. “There’s nothing more important in the world than information. The right info can make you a fortune… or lose someone a fortune. It can start wars, and it can topple dictators. Surely a woman of your stature knows how valuable information can be.”

Blake nodded a little, trusting in his parents then, “Okay...”

Galv smiled a little, holding Blake close again, “Okay big guy, you're the hero of the day. What do you want for dinner? Your choice.”

Blake's face lit up, “Anything I want...?”

“Of course,” Galv said, then glanced towards Melanie, “We can pick it up somewhere.”

Blake nodded for a moment, “Pancakes. I want pancakes.”



“Oh! No, your mother wasn't trying to talk me out of anything... she seems to like me, thankfully...” Sage said, rubbing the back of his head, “Now if only your dad would...”

He gave Joyce a small smile, then nodded again, “Of course I like... us. I've had a crush on you for a while now, but you were my friend... I was worried I'd ruin something, but... well...”

Sage smiled again, then pulled Joyce closer to him, “I know we're still teenagers... but I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with you...”

Paris

-US Embassy-

“Our family seems to have a history of strange stuff...” Aaron sighed, “And, umm... I should get going. I kind of had to leave Chloe outside...”

He didn't think he could bring another strange person into the US Embassy, not after everything else that had been going on...

Flashback

Samuel frowned, “Gallic wants revenge on me. If he's taking an interest in Galv, then he might take an interest in Elizabeth. And he might use them to get to me. If I'm not around, he'll think I don't care, and they'll be safe...”

He paused, glancing towards Melanie, then froze, just finally realizing Melanie's extended stomach.

“Wait... are you... are you pregnant?” Samuel asked quietly.

Hawkins' House

"Nonsense love, I can make better pancakes than any diner in Manhattan" Melanie said with a smile to Galv, moving forward and kissing him quickly before standing up. She was feeling tired but was happy that everyone was safe and happy in their home. She motioned to Blake.

"Would you like to help me darling?" she asked

[...]

"The rest of our lives is a long long time" Joyce said, smiling up at him. "Sure you can last that long without wandering?"

A lot of boys she knew were interested in her, but none of them were like Sage. He was the only guy (beside her dad and brother) that she could fully trust.

Bank

"You are correct, information is the most important thing. Information has got me pretty far in life..." Madame Rouge said, taking a sip on her wine. "What kind of information would you possibly be interested in young man? I'm afraid I don't have any secrets for the stocks, nor am I much for vacation spots or juicy gossip."

She knew what he wanted to talk about.

"How about we trade some information, you tell me something and i'll tell you"

Paris

US Embassy

Chloe leaned against the gate of the embassy, the girl waiting for Aaron. She tried to stay out of the government's eye especially considering she wasn't quite a citizen of...Well anywhere. She was pretty sure she wasn't allowed in nor did she want to get shipped off to whatever country was the starting point of her family of gypsies.

She liked it here, especially that boy.

Flashback

Melanie blinked and gave a small nod. "Y-Yeah, five months" she told him....Not quite sure how he would take it. "Galv wanted to take the job to help us get our own place"

[Bank]

Sama raised an eyebrow. This could work… he just needed some information to trade. Luckily he was pretty good at making things up on the fly.

“I’m interested in these recent attacks.” Sama said, his voice lowering a bit. “Information like that… would be very valuable. If, hypothetically, you had information about that…”

He grinned a bit. “Well, as I said, I’m a Rockerfeller. I suppose I could always part with some information like… say… the bank routing numbers for some of my Uncle’s accounts?”

[Paris]

[US Embassy]

“Why did you leave her out there?” Oliver frowned. “I say bring her in. We’re helping the Americans. Just say she’s a local resource who we need to keep safe… it’s not really a lie…”

-Hawkins' House-

Blake's eyes lit up, and he nodded, getting out of his dad's arms, grabbing his mother's hand.

“Ohhh... I do!” Blake nodded, “I can help like Joyce!”

Blake liked being helpful.



“Of course,” Sage smiled down at Joyce, “You're the only girl for me. The only one.”

He leaned forward, kissing Joyce now in the kitchen, not knowing Melanie and Blake would be in there soon.

“I'm more worried I can't measure up to you...” Sage then said once he broke the kiss, “You're so wonderful... And I'm just me...”

Paris

-US Embassy-

“She... said she wasn't too trusting of governments...” Aaron said idly, “I don't want to force her or anything... I mean... she's been helpful...”

He also had a huge crush on the girl, but didn't think it would be smart to say that.

“So... yah, I shouldn't keep her waiting...” Aaron said, then hurried off, leaving Oliver and Adrianna alone.



“Hey... sorry about that...” Aaron said, stepping outside and making his way towards Chloe, “Umm... you okay? I don't think you signed up for ninjas when I showed up in your bar last night... I'd understand if you just want to go away and never see me again, or such...”

Flashback

“Why didn't...? Why didn't he tell me, damnit!” Samuel yelled, punching the wall suddenly, “I have money. I told Galv, if he ever needed it... He's as stubborn as his mother...”

Samuel sighed, taking a few deep breaths, “Okay then... We'll go to Gallic Enterprises... we'll get Galv... somehow...”

Hawkins' House

"Hey now, being just you is pretty amazing too you know" Joyce said, smiling "You're smart, a great artist and pretty much the only one who can keep me out of trouble. You're exactly what I want in my life"

She kissed him.

[...]

Melanie smiled, taking her son's hand and walking into the kitchen-

To see Sage and Joyce kissing. Melanie blinked and gave a little cough.

Instantly Joyce moved back, looking rather flustered. "M-Mom! What are you doing here-"

"It's the kitchen honey" Melanie said "We're cooking dinner"

Bank

Rouge's grin grew and she gave a nod. A trade like this (if this boy was telling the truth) would be very valuable....She could bear to part with a bit of information.

"I might know a few things about the attacks....But you'll have to ask the right questions"

She then looked around, grabbing a notebook and pushing it towards him. "You can start writing those numbers too"

Paris

US Embassy

Chloe smiled when she saw Aaron come out, the girl meeting him at the gate.

"I'm good, heck all of this excitement is pretty fun actually. I mean I never thought i'd be talking about ninjas in Paris!"

She moved forward, grinning at the boy as she took his hand. "Are you okay? I mean all this might be dangerous, but so is messing around with a girl like me"

Sarai’s House

Genius looked down at Connor, as if judging his intentions by looking at him. He eventually clapped a hand down on the boy's shoulder, seemingly content for the moment (at least not going to kill him). "So how did you come across my daughter young man?"

"He was at Chloe's bar" Sarai answered "I was showing him around"

Genius raised a brow "And the unconsious old man on my couch?"

"H-His grandfather..."

Flashback

Melanie jumped when Samuel punched the wall, the woman quickly moving forward and shushing him. "Be quiet! You're going to ruin the house and wake up-

"DADDY!"

Melanie groaned, looking over to Elizabeth, the girl having being drawn from her room by the noise. The little girl rushed over hugging the man and looking up at him.

Marco was beginning to get the feeling that he wasn't going to get any more information out of Nanami about this bodyguard lady outside of what she had just revealed (and was probably lucky to even learn of the bodyguard's gender, in the first place).

"It's always one of those days, but that means we'll get past this, too..."

I'll bite your legs off!
Paris streets

Erica approached the creature, as Didymus cried out another invocation and thrust his bayonet into it and Aiden's fireball smashed into it!

For her part Erica clasped her hands, and they began to shine, and she earnestly laid her hands on the monster-near where Aiden had already began to burn a hole through it and Oland's shots had gone into its flesh.

It melted away before her touch, even before her hands connected with it.

When it was over, the monster, beaten and bruised by the attacks inflicted on it, was gone completely, and there Erica stood, serene and earnest, and, looking about at the destruction the monster caused, she looked on with compassion.

"I must see if anyone is hurt." she said. "Are you all alright?"

-Hawkins' House-

Sage blushed red as well, rubbing the back of his head, “Heh... sorry Mrs. Hawkins... We'll get out of your way...”

Blake was quiet, staring up at his sister and Sage, then smiled brightly, “Are you two gonna get married? I think that would be cool!”

Sage blushed again, not sure how to react to that. Sage was one of the few people outside the family that Blake seemed to like...



“Do you mind if I stay for dinner?” Maize asked Galv idly, watching as Melanie and Blake headed into the kitchen.

“Of course not, you're more then welcome,” Galv said, nodding to Maize, getting up now, “Well... why we have some privacy from the kids, we should probably compare notes on everything we know...”

Paris

-Outside the US Embassy-

Aaron blushed a bit as Chloe took his hand, and he nodded.

“Errr... yah... I think so...” Aaron said, “Heh... being around dangerous women seems to run in my family...”

-Streets-

Aiden shook as the creature was finally vanquished, stopping to take a few deep breaths, then hurried up to Didymus, focusing on stopping herself from shaking.

“A-are yo-you o-okay?” Aiden asked Didymus, looking worried. He had been right up there at the monster, after all. She was worried.

Though Aiden looked pretty shaken up herself.

Flashback

Samuel froze as Elizabeth appeared. She hugged him, then after a moment, he hugged her back, then gave her a small smile.

“Hello little 'Liz...” Samuel said, “I'm sorry, but I can't stay long right now... Melanie and I are going to get Galv, then we'll be right back, okay?”

Hawkins' House

“Are you two gonna get married? I think that would be cool!”

"B-Blake!" Joyce exclaimed, cheeks bright red "W-We're not-"

"You guys can stay--we'll need some help cooking" Melanie said, handing Sage a bowl and flour. She then proceeded to hand Joyce some eggs and then picked up Blake, placing him so that he was sitting on the counter. "You can stir love"

Joyce began to crack eggs, feeling awkward considering they had been caught kissing by her mother....She supposed it was better than her dad.

"You know, I was your age once" Melanie started

"Oh mom!" Joyce exclaimed, obviously flustered.

"I'm just saying, I understand how you too feel. You're father and I were teenagers once too-

"MOOOOOOOOM" Joyce groaned, feeling like she wanted to crawl under a rock.

Paris

Outside the US Embassy

"Then you should know just what to do with a girl like me" Chloe said, leaning in and looking to him. She laced his hand with his. "So what were you guys talking about in there?"

Flashback

Elizabeth instantly frowned, looking over to Melanie.

"We'll be right back, I promise" Melanie said, offering the younger girl a smile. "Samuel said he'll even stick around for a few days"

No he didn't. Be now he had no choice. The look on Elizabeth's face was enough to convince any father.

"Really daddy!?" She exclaimed, looking as if Melanie had just told her it was Christmas.

Didymus nodded.

"I'm alright...but what of you, Aiden? Are you alright? That thing kind of had its eye on you..." he said.

But he couldn't help but glance at Erica. The change that came over her...how straight she stood, how authoritative her voice was now...

Erica, meanwhile, looked over at Oland.

"You touched it." she said. "Are you hurt?"

Sage blushed as well as he helped with the pancakes, not sure what to say.

“Do all teenagers kiss and stuff?” Blake asked, frowning, “Ewww...”

Blake is ten, after all.

Paris

-Outside the Embassy-

"Then you should know just what to do with a girl like me"

Fall in love despite your better judgment, see her disappear until she returns with twins who are yours, dumps them on you and leaves again, leaving you bitter as you get older about all of them but still hoping your own children will have a better life?

Ethan has some emotional issues.

Aaron shook his head, then smiled, “Mostly we just talked about what happened... But I don't know if we have any more leads right now... So I figured I should come back out and check on you, make sure you were all right.”

-Streets-

“I... think I'm okay...” Aiden said, shivering a little. She was shaken up, and looked nervous and worried. She was tough, but she had never fought a monster before...

“Th-thank you for coming to my rescue...” Aiden added, “I hope I can make it up someway...”

She suddenly blushed, realizing how that could be taken, and looked away, “Errr... I mean... That I might be able to help against... another monster? Not that I hope there's more of those things... Ohhhh...”

Aiden was flustered now.

-Flashback-

“Ya-yah... A few days...” Samuel said idly, then smiled at Elizabeth. He bent down and gave her a big hug, then stepped away.

“We'll pick up something to eat on our way back too,” Samuel said, then stepped outside.

Once he and Melanie were outside, Samuel glanced around.

“There's someone we need to talk to first. Someone who can help,” Samuel answered, “You know him... Ethan.”
