I'll bite your legs off!
Outside Notre Dame

When Zadkiel had asked him, Didymus has guessed "Not many, but we don't know if this is all..."

But he had been advancing on Von Staffens.

Von Staffens shook his head.

"Did all the might of Russia save her from the infestation that ate her inside out?" he asked. "And would our ruined, post-war economy and negligant military power have saved US from it? Lady Malvin, a storm is rising in the East. A storm to consume all the world. Only with power, dark as it is, do we have ANY hope of-"

"FACE ON THE GROUND!" Didymus yelled, in a voice that would make Marine Corps DIs even in the WWII era proud. He was brandishing his BAR, and Staffens turned to face him.

"...ah...they warned me of you..." he said.

"GET ON THE GROUND NOW!" Didymus repeated, as Staffens simply raised his arms, but was clutching some trinket in one of them.

"They've showed you too, haven't they, American? A final, desperate stand of a ruined nation. Done in by its own people, who welcomed a wicked, SINFUL ideology amidst a flood of self-hatred..."

Didymus was quiet now, though anyone looking may have seen a pang of pain, realization, and concern...and Staffens tried to lunge forward, but was knocked back as Didymus threw an open orb of water at him! He stumbled back, in arm's reach of Alice...

[Bank]

Sama shivered as the ice broke away. He was really glad he had met a super spy girl with crazy powers. He stepped forward and aimed his revolver at Jade.

“Whoever you are, you’re going down! Just surrender, or I’ll shoot!” Sama commanded.

“Yeah, she really seems like the surrender type.” Kimi rolled her eyes.

[Paris]

[Le Havre: Shore]

Oliver climbed out of the water, frowning as he looked down at his drenched clothes. His jacket was soaked, and his flight goggles had gotten fogged up from the water. He took off his scarf and wrung it out several times before sliding it back around his neck.

“Well… that was certainly exciting.” He said chipperly as he turned to the others. “But how do we get this big robot thing back to Paris? I think it’s going to attract some attention.”

The Sakura Machine was still submerged, but Musashi had gotten out and swam to the surface. “We need to find a place to lay low and call the Embassy to get a truck out here.”

[House]

“Oh, have you become immune to bullets, Ethan? Well, congratulations. Sammy and I will have to induct you into the club.” Rica chuckled sarcastically. Even after years of being sorta-friends, the two still butted heads quite often.

It was hard to tell if it was out of their old jealousies of one another, or if it had simply become a tradition at this point.

Then he rolled his eyes to Kanna. “You can bring me down anytime, darling.”

You all know what he means by that, let’s just move on.

[Outside the Notre Dame]

Alice gasped as Didymus arrived, and the moment he did, she made sure to take a good hold of the weapon carefully concealed beneath her orange coat. Although she often relied on the ceremonial dagger or her pistol, she was not truly trained to use either… and Von Staffens had already proven to be a very unusual man.

She had a feeling that he was dangerous enough that she would need it; and the moment she saw Von Staffens stumble back, she drew the blade and rushed forward at him.

In her hand was an enormous double-sided sword. It was collapsible and fit neatly on her belt, but when extended it was gigantic and extremely deadly. She spun around, bringing the blade down towards Von Staffens, holding it close to his neck in the hopes that he would be prevented from moving.

“It’s over!” Alice declared. “Throw down your weapon and surrender. I don’t want to kill you, but I won’t hesitate too.”

-Hawkins' House-

Blake nodded, getting up and away from his mother now, following his sister, then turned to his parents.

“Will you read me a story tonight?” Blake asked, looking hopeful.

“Of course,” Galv said, “Your choice, whatever you want.”

Blake's face lit up, smiling brightly.

-Streets-

Sage blushed as Joyce kissed him again, then turned and headed home, hoping his father was... done, with earlier...

Paris

-Le Havre: Harbor-

Aaron focused, glowing some and becoming warmer, drying himself off when he got out of the river.

“Anyone else?” Aaron asked, his hands glowing with some soft light.

-Outside Notre Dame-

Aiden gasped a little, watching as Alice pressed her sword at the man, demanding he surrendered... She hoped he would, she didn't want to see any more death today if she could help it.

Zadkiel remained silent, keeping his eyes open around them.

Flashback

Ethan was quiet for a moment. Ethan was very smart, and approached cunning from an analytical perspective. If he said the right things, he could probably guilt Kanna into staying, but...

That wasn't the kind of person he was.

“Your mother... Is a very busy person,” Ethan said, “She does love you, very much, but there's important things she has to do.”

Aaron frowned a little, then looked to his mother, “What important things do you have to do, momma...?”



The door opened, and Galv walked in, frowning a little.

“Melanie... can we talk?” Galv asked, locating his wife, then looked around, “Is Elizabeth around?”

"I just controlled the blood in your veins and froze your feet to the floor...What makes you think I can control the bullet in that gun and shoot it right through your head?" Jade asked, looking bored.

She couldn't of course, but she doubted they'd call her on her bluff.

"How about we solve this later...Have you ever wanted to meet a Nazi face to face without getting shot? I can arrange a meeting...You'd like that right mister detective...And associates..."

Hawkins' House

Joyce walked her brother up the stairs, disappearing into her room to change into a nightgown before heading into her brother's. With a smile she produced a bag of candy from behind her back that she was saving to share with the boy. It probably wouldn't put him to sleep but it was yummy...

"How are you feeling little brother?" she asked, plopping down on the edge of her bed and popping a bon bon in her mouth.

[...]

When the two children headed upstairs Melanie smiled.

"Awww the kids going to bed already?" Elizabeth said, walking out of the kitchen and looking at the group. "I haven't even been able to play aunty yet"

Paris

House

"You're such a child Rica" Kanna said, tightening her coat but grinning. "Take down enough Nazis and we'll talk."

That proposition was open to everyone btw. Even Samuel. Ew.

"Before we go you guys need to look more beat up....Unless you want me to actually shot you a couple times"

Le Havre: Harbor

"Yes please!" Chloe said, coming over and looking at his hands with a grin.

"Hey now, no getting handsy with her" Laila joked, coming over as well. She couldn't do what her siblings could...

Flashback

Kanna was quiet for a moment, before kissing Aaron's on the top of his head. "Momma does very dangerous things that I can't tell you about...I want to keep you safe after all."

"Why do you do dangerous things?" Adrianna asked

Kanna was quiet once more "....I....I don't know" she mumbled. "All I know is your father does a wonderful job taking care of you"

[...]

Melanie looked over to the door when Galv walked in, the young woman smiling at her husband. On the floor in front of her was baby Joyce, attempting to crawl around...Kinda. She still looked like a dark-haired blob moving about and blowing spit bubbles. "She's been trying to crawl all afternoon...I think she's close to doing it!"

“Melanie... can we talk? Is Elizabeth around?”

Melanie frowned but gave a nod. "She's in the kitchen making dinner....What's the matter?"

Sama frowned. He didn’t know if she was telling the truth or not, on either account, but he knew that he couldn’t let her out of here. They had to arrest this crazy woman.

“You can arrange a meeting with Nazis? Good to know. Come along with us, give your intel to the government and we’ll see what happens.” Sama said, keeping his revolver aimed at her.

[Paris]

[Le Havre: Harbor]

“Right now we need to focus on getting to safety.” Nanami said, walking between Chloe and Aaron and shaking her head. It was bad enough with Musashi’s usual antics, now they had this Chloe girl too.

Sirens blared in the distance. Turns out blowing up a ship in a crowded harbor was a good way to get attention. The local police were on their way, and there were gunshots in the distance.

“Come on!” Musashi suggested. “We gotta find a phone and call the Embassy!”

[House]

“Go right ahead.” Rica said, shrugging his shoulders. “The best way for me to look beat up is to BE beaten up… but let’s not waste ammo, so how about you use the knife?”

Jade couldn't help but to laugh "You're cute mister detective...Dumb as a bag of rocks, but cute." she told him, not particularly worried about the gun aimed at her. "If you shoot me dead they'll be a lot bombs detonated without anyone to stop them....And hell knows i'm not going with you by choice. I'd rather you come with me...Unless you're okay with more people dying...Your little friends can come too"

Jade paused as she heard some sirens in the distance. "Looks like I don't have much time...I really much be going....So you coming or do I have to kill everyone in this building?"

Paris

House


"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Kanna asked, brow raised and smirk on her lips. She pulled a knife out from her dress (because that's where she keeps sharp things) before throwing into the wall right next to her former beau's face.

"Get to ripping your clothes" She told him.

Sama’s eyes widened when Jade mentioned explosives. Now that was bad. If this bank was wired with bombs and they went off, tons of people could die… and the destruction would be enormous.

“Grrr…” Sama gritted his teeth. He looked over to Crystal, Kimi and Jeremie. “You three get out of here… I’ll go with the crazy lady if it means saving the building.”

That’s a really bad idea.

[Paris]

[House]

Rica shrugged his shoulders and pulled the knife out of the wall. “I always liked it better when you ripped my clothes off… but I’d really rather we not have these two watching.”

Apparently even Rica isn’t creeptastic enough to want Ethan and Samuel watching. Thank goodness.

So he took the knife and started stabbing himself a few times in the chest. Then he collapsed, coughing up blood because that’s what happens when you stab yourself in the chest.

He’ll be fine.

“Considering I can't heal, and technically neither can Samuel, and Rica's wounds will heal, I have a different idea,” Ethan suggested. He disappeared into the kitchen for a moment, then returned with a bottle of wine.

“Strongest stuff here,” Ethan said, he took a deep breath, then took a big mouthful, swishing it around until he spat it out. One drink was still too many, “What's more likely... Kanna took us all down in a fight, or that she managed to drug us?”

Ethan then smiled, putting the bottle down on the table, “Take a couple drinks, our breath smells like alcohol. Pretend to be drugged or out like a light. They'll probably even take us less seriously then, not keep an eye on us.”

Samuel smirked, “I like the idea. Makes more sense, anyways.”

He didn't point out that Ethan had waited until after Rica had stabbed himself to offer the suggestion.

-Le Havre: Harbor-

Aaron quickly used his powers to at least somewhat dry off the others, looking up as the sirens started to get louder.

“I saw a public telephone a couple blocks that way,” Aaron said, pointing down the street, “We can use that, I bet.”

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

Blake smiled as he saw the candy, taking one himself and munching it happily.

“I'm... feeling okay,” Blake answered, “A little tired still... But better. I hope everyone who was in that building are okay though... And I'm worried about Samara. She hasn't shown back up yet...”



“Don't worry, there's always tomorrow,” Galv said to his younger sister. He paused for a moment, as if considering something, then seemed to decide against it.

“How long do you plan on staying?” Galv asked, “We always have a room for you, of course.”

Flashback

“... She does them because someone has to,” Ethan said, “And your mother is very good at her job. She can't tell you everything though, because you're too young right now.”

He smiled, picking up Adrianna easily and placing her on his own lap, “But I'm sure she wants to see you more often...”



Galv stopped for a moment to smile down at Joyce, bending down to run his hand over her head, feeling the spark inside the small baby, reacting a little with his, then he turned back to Melanie.

“You remember Lily right? The Gallic's adopted daughter? The one who offered me the job in the first place?” Galv asked.

"Poisoned...What a twist" Kanna said with a grin, watching Ethan taking a long swish of the wine and then spitting it out. "Oh it's just liqour you big baby" she said, punching him lightly on the arm. She grabbed another bottle and tossed it to Samuel. "Drink up boys! We have a long night ahead of us"

Kanna took a long swig herself...After all he fought better with a little juice in her system.

New York City

Bank

Crystal instantly frowned, moving forward, towards him "What? Sama you can't go with her. She's insane-"

"Hey, i'm standing right here you know" Jade stated, smirking. "And anyways he has no choice." she motioned for Sama to follow. "Come along"

"We can't just let them go!" Crystal exclaimed.

Jeremie shrugged "I dunno, works for me" He then paused noticing the look from Crystal. "It was a joke"

"Not funny"

Hawkins' House

Joyce frowned, taking another piece of candy and chewing it slowly. The girl didn't like Samara, but she knew how much Blake did.

"I'm sure she'll show up soon...Maybe she just needs a bit of sleep to recharge, kinda like you! That or maybe she'll come back when you eat some more, she's all part of your powers after all."

Joyce then smiled, grabbing Blake from behind on the bed and hugging him tightly. She then rested her chin on top of his messy red hair. "You don't need her though, you're plenty strong without her baby brother"

[...]

Elizabeth shrugged to her brother, plopping down on the couch beside her sister-in-law "A day or two probably, or however long you'll have me. I do have to get back to school next week though"

"I'll make the guestroom for you" Melanie said, moving to stand up. She was quickly stopped by Elizabeth.

"Don't worry i've got it. You two should relax, probably don't get to do that much with the kids and all this trouble."

Flashback

“But I'm sure she wants to see you more often...”

"I do. More than you can imagine" Kanna said softly to her children. She then sat Aaron down, leaning in and kissing the top of the boy's head. "But for now you and your sister should sleep...It's been a long day for everyone."

"Will you stay until tomorrow at least?" Adrianna asked, clutching her father's shirt tightly.

Kanna was silent for a moment, but gave a nod. "Alright" she lied.


[...]

Melanie gave a nod, unsure of where Galv was going with this. "Of course I do"

The woman has been nice enough, albeit a bit intimidating, definitely nothing to be worried about.

Rica suddenly had to laugh. He pulled the knife out of his chest and tossed it over to the side of the room (apparently not caring what the homeowners would think when they eventually returned to find blood all over) and he quickly rushed over and grabbed a bottle of wine.

“See, now any plan where I can drink is a good plan.” Rica agreed immediately and he started drinking the bottle.

[Le Havre: Harbor]

The group had taken shelter off the main road, behind a tall wall. With everyone dried off, Musashi frowned and peered over the top of the wall, his eyes darting around for a moment as he looked about. He could see local police arriving and already setting up a scene.

“Shoot.” Musashi frowned. “I guess the phone you saw is our best bet. We should head that way and try to find it.”

“Kimi…” Sama looked over at the short girl for a moment and he sighed. “Just like Chicago.”

Kimi gave an annoyed grunt and turned away from him. Sama simply nodded and looked over to Crystal. “It’ll be fine… you guys just focus on getting everyone out of this bank and to safety.”

He turned and looked at Jade, and he frowned. “Fine, I’ll come with you, but you can’t hurt anyone else.”

Von Staffens shook his head.

"You make such a mistake...everything I do, I do for the survival of Germany..." he said. "You sound like you would simply IGNORE our problems, Frau Malvin..."

He looked to Didymus.

"And I KNOW what you've seen...you saw what may be. What WILL be, unless we secure power..." he said. "...did all of the Orthodox priests' faith stop the red tide?" he asked.

"Shut up and wait for the police." Didymus replied. He tried not to show it, but Staffen's words were...concerning...to him.

“I know it's liquor, it's why I can't drink it,” Ethan sighed. He didn't trust himself with alcohol in his system, even if that had been really good wine that made him wince to spit out.

Samuel took a couple gulps himself, but didn't drink much, shrugging.

“I can't get drunk even with pure alcohol, so kind of a waste drinking too much of it,” Samuel said idly.

-Streets-

“Alright, let's go,” Aaron said, pausing for a moment to get his bearings, then hurried for the phone, leading the others to it.

-Outside the Notre Dame-

Zadkiel was quiet for a moment, lighting a cigarette and then stepped forward, his own red eyes staring hard at Staffen.

“Why should they have? They were for the people, weren't they? Is that not what priests, what men of God, are for? They are for the people, who need His guidance to get on track. Yes, in hindsight, the Communists were not actually for the people, were not those who could be trusted with power, but hindsight is 20/20, is it not?” Zadkiel asked idly, taking a drag of his cigarette, not taking his eyes off Staffen.

“All works of men are imperfect, he can only strive to the perfection that He has let us glimpse,” Zadkiel continued idly, “Humanity has fallen prey to dark times before, but we always endure, we always strive back to Him, back to the light.”

Zadkiel smiled, not an unkind smile, towards Staffen.

“If you wish to confess your sins to a Man of God before you are taken away by the police, I am available. I understand if you do not, though,” Zadkiel offered idly.

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

Blake smiled a bit when Joyce hugged him.

“I'm not worried about not being strong when she's not around... I'm just worried about her... But yah, maybe she'll show up in the morning!” Blake said, feeling hopeful. He didn't want to lose his only imaginary strange shadow subconscious friend.



“You can stay as long as you want Elizabeth,” Galv said, “And thanks... It will be nice to have a little more alone time with Melanie...”

Galv, alone time is probably what led to the new babyies!

Flashback

Aaron smiled, “Daddy can make pancakes for us in the morning too, and we can all have breakfast together!”

Ethan smiled, knowing Kanna wouldn't be there in the morning, “Sounds good to me, son... Now your mother is right, you should go and get some sleep.”



Galv was quiet for a moment, sitting down next to Melanie, unsure of how to proceed... It was big...

“She's... she has the same power I have... the same Elizabeth does... the same our mother did...” Galv said quietly, not wanting to Elizabeth to hear. He had no idea on how she would react.

“I mean... it's not... it's not 100 percent certain, but... Lily... I think she's my sister... my twin...”

"Oh you two are no fun. I guess Rica and I will have to have all the fun" Kanna stated, taking another swig before placing the wine bottle down. "Come on, I guess it's time to go. We'll get a car and you three will play dead in the back. It won't take us long to get where we're going"

She didn't mention that she would need to kill another cabby.

"Oh fine, i'll be good" Jade said, rolling her eyes. "You're no fun mister detective...Come on, we'll have to take the roof to get out"

"Sama be careful." Crystal said suddenly, moving to kiss him.

"UM we're on a schedule here. Come on" Jade added loudly, motioning for Sama to follow her to his death.

Hawkins' House

"Well there's only one way to find out, you have to go to sleep" Joyce told her little brother, kissing him once more on the head.

[...]

"Don't mention it" Elizabeth said with a wave of her hand "Just don't get too excited about a date night. Soon enough you guys will have a house full of kids!"

The girl laughed at her own joke, standing up and heading up the stairs. "I'm going to call it a night, you two do whatever old people do when they're alone..."

Melanie shook her head, giving a small giggle. "You know we could always go out somewhere...I mean it's not that late and the kids will be asleep in a bit. With Elizabeth here they should be fine"

Flashback

Adrianna sat silently on her father's lap, watching Kanna as her twin said something about pancakes in the morning...For some reason the girl didn't believe a thing her mother said...She wouldn't be here when they woke up....She was lying.

"Daddy told us not to lie. You're not staying. You're a liar" the little girl boldly declared, glaring forward.

[...]

Melanie was quiet for a moment, looking at Galv with a confused expression on her face. "What would make you think she was your twin?"

Well they DID look kinda a like....But surely that was just a coincidence. The powers thing....

"It all has to be a coincidence, I mean why wouldn't she tell you that as soon as she met you?"

[House]

Rica took the knife he’d stabbed himself with and placed it in his boot. He wanted to be ready if he needed to skewer some Nazis. He took one last large swig of the alcohol and then followed Kanna out of the house.

[Streets]

As they walked towards the phone, Musashi cast a quick glance back at the river to make sure that the Sakura Machine wasn’t visible.

When they reached the phone booth, they quickly placed a call to the American Embassy using the phone number Didymus had given them earlier. After filling in the Americans on what had happened and requesting a truck, Musashi turned to the group.

“Okay, well… we almost died, but we were successful on this mission!” Musashi grinned. “Everything worked out, and now we have an important new weapon.”

Nanami said nothing. She wasn’t entirely sure things were going to work out.

[Outside the Notre Dame]

Alice said nothing to von Staffens. She stood with the double-sided sword kept close to his neck, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. She didn’t know what would happen when the French authorities arrived, but she hoped that this dangerous man would be apprehended without further bloodshed.

“Didymus, do you think they will allow me to interrogate him later?” Alice asked. “I have a feeling this one has a lot of information on what’s happening in Berlin.”

[New York]

[Bank]

Sama stepped forward and kissed Crystal quickly. As their faces were close, he quickly whispered: “Kimi will know what to do. I know she’s crazy, but trust her.”

Then he turned and followed after Jade, very apprehensive about all of this. He knew there was a good chance he would be injured – or killed – but he needed to take that risk.

Kanna lead the group out into the street, the woman stepping into the street and raising her hand to hail a cab. As one pulled up the woman moved her hand over her purse where her gun sat.

"Where to miss?" The cabby said with a smile.

"Oh I just need the car" she said, moving to the passenger seat beside him. She then pulled out her gun and aimed it at his head. "Get out before I blow your brains out"

That was all it took for the cabby to stumbled out of the car. She then moved to the drivers seat and motioned for the others to get in. "See I can be a good person, I didn't kill a cabby for once"

New York

Bank

Crystal stood there confused, but gave a nod as she watched Sama and Jade leave the room. Once they were alone the woman looked to Kimi.

[...]

"Come on mister detective, we're getting out of here" Jade said, motioning for him to follow her out of a window where a long rope already hung leading to the street...It was obvious someone put it here for a quick escape. "I have a car a block away, we'll take that. Try to run and i'll bend your blood cold."

She shimmied down, waiting for Sama to do the same.
