Streets

"I can think of no better thing to do" Adrianna said to Oliver, taking his hand and pulling him past the two kissing teens. Once they were a safe distance away the young woman gave a sigh, dropping Oliver's arm and running a hand through her messy black hair. "My sister is an idiot"

New York

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal nodded, placing her glowing blue hands over his shoulder and concentrating on healing Sama's wounds. She also couldn't help but to give a small laugh when Sama and Kimi went back and forth. "You two sound like an old married couple" she joked.

No one should EVER say that.

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

-Hawkins' House-

Sage couldn't quite believe what was happening, as Joyce started to make out with him. He certainly wasn't complaining, bringing his arms up to hold the girl close to him as they kissed.

He didn't even notice the sound of people entering the house.



“I'll make some tea for you, soothing kind,” Galv said to Melanie, “Decaf as well, of course.”

Which meant he'd be downstairs for a little bit, which might give Elizabeth a little hope...

“But first let's get you in bed,” Galv added to Melanie. “Here.”

He moved quickly before Melanie could protest, suddenly picking her up and giving her a quick kiss on the forehead, “You've been on your feet enough, I'll carry you up the stairs, my dear.”

Paris

-US Embassy-

“No way! A lot of people stay married. Though, ummm...” Aaron paused. His parents had never gotten married, even though he had hoped they would when he was little.

“...I don't want to marry someone unless I knew I loved them, and they loved me...” Aaron said, “It wouldn't be... right, otherwise...”

-Hotel-

The more cynical part of Ethan's mind was wondering just what those 'questionable' things were, but age had mellowed him enough to not act on that thought.

Instead he was thrown for a bit of a loop when Kanna came and kissed him, looking at the woman for a brief moment.

“It... was nothing. I'm sure you would have done the same for me if our situations were reversed,” Ethan said, though the more cynical part of his mind piped up with a “probably” that was not voiced.

He looked at Kanna for a long moment, then looked away, “Is there anything to read, perhaps? We have some time to kill.”

Probably not the reaction Kanna had been going for.

-Cafe-

Aiden blushed, looking towards Snake for a brief moment before she looked back down.

“Is... is it really that obvious?” she asked quietly.

-Red Skull's Truck-

“I've seen often enough that what people think is necessary is usually what brings the most misery,” Samuel said, “You know... I was content to sit back and watch life... see how history unfolded. But with people like you around...”

Samuel scowled, “Well, there's got to be a balance, right? Forces acting against each other. So then...”

He brought his fists up, smiling, “Might be a little anachronistic, but I hated seeing this go out of style.

“Come on if you think you're hard enough!” Samuel yelled, then charged at Red Skull, throwing a punch! Unlike most people, Samuel did not hold back, knowing he couldn't break his arm on collision.

"So we're heading back, then... I guess that makes sense, but if they are watching us... How are we getting out without being seen?"

Marco had a pretty decent idea that Nanami had a plan for that, especially since she was probably much more likely than he was (due to having training similar, at least, to whom was likely watching) to have ideas as to where these guys would be watching from.

"Unless your plan is to make a scene and get all of the attention on us. I can handle that, too, if that's what you're looking for..." he tapped his briefcase, as he said this line.

[US Embassy]

“No scenes.” Nanami shook her head and looked over at him. Her crimson eyes flicked down towards his briefcase for a moment before returning to Marco’s face. “If we make a scene, it will draw their attention… and they’re professional enough that they’ll keep someone watching while they investigate. Plus I’m sure the Americans will get us hell for stirring up commotion at the Embassy.”

She leaned against the wall, crossing her arms and nodding her head towards the river. “That’s how we’re getting out of here. We’re going to lay low and sneak to the edge of the river, then we’ll swim downstream a couple of miles and come out there.”

[Streets]

“Oh, I’m sure she’s not an idiot.” Oliver said, shaking his head. “Probably just frustrating. I know what it’s like. I have a brother and a sister back home. Both cause me endless headaches.”

Oliver gave a little smile towards Adrianna. He wanted to try to cheer the girl up. “It’ll be alright. If you’d like, we can find something else to do and just ditch those two completely. Go and have some fun!”

[Café]

Snake chuckled a bit as he leaned back in his chair. “I’ve been working for the OSS for the past few years. Picking up on the little details is what I do.”

[Red Skull’s Truck]

Samuel’s punch connected with Red Skull’s face and he fell backwards. He clutched his chin for a moment and it seemed like he was going to go down. Then he straightened up and spit out to the side.

“Hmph. Impressive. Some of my best soldiers cannot punch so hard, but it is still not enough. Dr. Erskine’s formula did come at a high price, but it has made me strong. It takes more than the likes of you to truly hurt me.”

He cracked his knuckles. “We both know I cannot hurt you, either… but I can restrain you!”

Red Skull dove, tackling Samuel and trying to wrestle him to the ground!

[New York]

[Crystal’s Apartment]

“What!?”
“Oh God, ewwwww, f*ck no!”

Kimi and Sama both reacted to Crystal’s joke by shuddering – the biggest different was Kimi’s intense shouting and cursing, while Sama just closed his eyes and shook his head.

“You don’t have to say ‘ewww f*ck no’.” Sama frowned over at Kimi.

“Yes. Yes I do. Because, ewwww, f*ck no.” Kimi crossed her arms.

"Awwwwwwww..." Marco pouted slightly, as if he was saddened by Nanami's rejection of 'making a scene'. He wasn't very serious about his 'sadness', however, nodding along with Nanami's plan, as she mentioned it to him.

Once she was finished, though, he quickly piped up again.

"If I knew how much you liked swimming, I would have packed a swimsuit before we came out here!" he laughed.

“Swimming has its advantages.” Nanami replied. She turned towards Marco, watching him for a moment and then she just sighed instinctively.

“I’m guessing you probably can’t hold your breath for several minutes at a time, can you? I can take care of that, but first we need to actually get to the water. So keep your head down and get in the bushes.”

New York City

Hawkins' House

Melanie gave a little yelp when Galv picked her up, instantly grabbing hold of him and leaning her head against his chest. "Galv you're going to hurt yourself doing that one of these days!" she said with a small laugh.

Elizabeth bit her lip "W-Wait, Mel is right! You shouldn't take her upstairs, why don't you just set her down on the couch and make some tea for her- veeeeerrry loudly. That way you won't throw out your back and everyone will know your home!"

Elizabeth had a feeling this plan wasn't going to work.

[...]

Like any dumb teen in the midst of a furious make-out session Joyce was not taking advantage of the stalling time that Elizabeth was providing her with to hide Sage...Not that she knew her mom and dad were home and close to coming upstairs.

"You're a really good kisser you know that?" Joyce said between breaths, not giving the boy much time to get a word in.

Crystal’s Apartment

"Well maybe you two wouldn't sound like an old married couple if you didn't bicker like my 80-year-old aunt Ethel and her husband." Jeremie said, obviously not understanding that Kimi wasn't opposed to kicking him in the mouth. Neither was Sama really...

"Okay, enough enough" Crystal said, finishing healing Sama's injury. "We have more important things to focus on. Like whoever gave you all these insane injuries"


Paris

US Embassy

Chloe paused, but smiled. "Well aren't you a virtuous man. There aren't many like you around Paris. Most of them would probably marry me for 20 franc and a decent honeymoon night. More people really should be like you, your parents definitely taught you right."

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Hotel

“Is there anything to read, perhaps? We have some time to kill.”

Kanna blinked, stepping back and punching the man lightly in the shoulder. She knew it wouldn't hurt him but she wanted to get the point across. "Seriously? A book? You're insufferable you know that? Why don't you focus on something more interesting than a book?"

Flashback

It always amazed Kanna how nice Ethan was to her....Even after getting his house blown up. She nodded simply, looking over to the man. "Thanks Ethan...Really."

[...]

Melanie nodded hesitantly, still holding Joyce close. Kanna coming up in conversation never ended well. "Yeah....She can do it all too"

It was quite true that Marco was not proficient at holding his breath for minutes at a time. He could probably hold it for a fair amount of time, if he didn't have to swim on top of that. And he also didn't have access to all of his goodies back in New York, nor the time to assemble a rudimentary emergency 'tank' for air to use himself for this task.

His last river expedition had used pretty much everything he had been prepared for, for that sort of thing. ((I think; I don't remember, it's been a while))

He raised an eyebrow at Nanami's comment, however, not exactly knowing what she had meant by that. She did have powers over water, though, so it probably would stand to reason that she had developed some sort of technique to help with this.

"Yes sir, Mermaid-sama," Marco then bowed like a butler towards his master, before grinning and laughing a bit.

Paris

-Cafe-

“I'll... wait until he finishes talking to Erica...” Aiden said, “I don't want to bother him when he's doing his job...”

-Red Skull's Truck-

Samuel took the tackle, using the momentum as he and Red Skull went down, rolling on his back and attempting to throw the evil Nazi up and over him!

“Come on now! I've been fighting since before your grandparents were born!” Samuel taunted.

-US Embassy-

“Well... my dad did...” Aaron said, “As much as he could. My mom wasn't really around very much...”

Aaron was a little bitter about that, but he tried not to show it... His mom had to have her reasons, didn't she?

-Hotel-

Ethan sighed a little, not looking at Kanna for a moment before he turned back to her.

“Kanna... You've broken my heart too many times now. I'm not here because of you, I'm here because of our children... I never wanted them to be involved in any of this, and yet it seems they are now. You said you'd make sure to handle this... but you didn't, you haven't, and I'm not going to let our children have to deal with it,” Ethan said, sighing and then taking a seat on the bed, “When you came into my life, it was... exciting. I felt a lot happier, even when I found out about Rica and all of that... But I didn't care...

“I still loved you Kanna... And when I found out you were pregnant, I decided I was going to ask you to marry me... But you disappeared before I got the chance... The first time you broke my heart. But then, you came back, with Aaron and Adrianna... and Lalia... But I still didn't care, you were back, we had two beautiful children. I wanted to ask you again, but you left again before I could, left me with our children...”

Ethan squeezed the mattress softly, sighing as he looked down now, “Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron and Adrianna, I wouldn't trade them for anything. I was proud to be their father and raise them... But I always wished you were there too, more then your sporadic visits. I still loved you, even if you broke my heart...

“I never strayed, you know... I don't think you'd care, but I never found someone else... I suppose I was foolish, thinking you'd eventually come back. I don't know what we had Kanna, I don't know if you ever loved me yourself, but I'm tired Kanna... I'm too old to keep playing this damn game. You and I just want two very different things.”

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

Galv frowned, looking at his sister. She was acting odd...

“I don't want to wake Blake... he's had a long stressful day, and he needs his sleep,” Galv said, “And I'm not going to throw my back out. Melanie's light as a feather.”

He then smiled at his wife and gave her a quick kiss. It certainly helped that the electricity that flowed through him kept him in good shape, so he was pretty strong, especially for his size.



“T-thanks. You to-oo...” Sage said between kisses, quite enjoying the session. He wasn't quite sure what to do with his hands though.

Flashback

Ethan just nodded, “You should try and get some sleep. I need to make a few calls.”

He motioned towards a phone in the wall, “I have some contacts, people who can cover this up.”

Ethan smiled slightly, “It may be boring, but doing the taxes of some influential people gives you some nice perks...”



Lily smiled, “Don't be nervous... I'm simply curious. Here at Gallic Enterprises, we want to try and figure out how powers get passed down or not. For instance, neither Galv or myself, nor I assume Elizabeth, gained our father's power, but we have our mother's... Your own daughter has the spark, but not your shadows. Tell me, do you know if any of your grandparents have an ability?”

New York City

Hawkins' House

Elizabeth had a feeling that her plan wasn't working, so she decided to try a different take on it. She quickly stood, following them up the stairs. "Well then be sure to be veeeerrrry quiet! Joyce is upstairs sound asleep too! Out like a light!"

She followed behind the two up the stairs, oddly enough not hearing anything....Maybe the girl WAS asleep? Or maybe she was just so engrossed in her kissing that she isn't making any actual noise.....Oh geez.....

[...]

Joyce was busy kissing Sage, but at the same time she noticed the boy's slightly shaking hands hovering over her arms cautiously. Without skipping a beat (or breaking the kiss) she took his hands and placed them on her hips.

Because now Galv could kill him even more!

Paris

Hotel

Kanna was silent for a moment, before giving a loud sigh and turning her back to the man. She went over to her bedside table and pulled out a flask, taking a long drink from it.

"You're a much better person than I am" she said. "But i'm pretty sure you already knew that though....And you're right, we've always wanted two different things. I'm entirely too greedy, and you're entirely too selfless."

US Embassy

"I'm sorry to hear that" Chloe said, stepping forward. "If it's any consolation I don't have much of a relationship with my parents. They gave me the bar, but they don't actually live in Paris anymore...Last time I heard they were somewhere in Rome."

Flashback

"Alright then....Goodnight Ethan" Kanna said, giving the man one last glance before disappearing into the other room where Aaron and Adrianna slept. The woman gave a sigh, looking over at two of her children, curled up in their cots asleep. She went over to Aaron's spot, sitting down beside his cot and stroking his messy dark hair.

[...]

Melanie tried to relax a bit but Kanna was a very touchy subject. Usually people who knew Kanna's name wanted her thrown in jail.

"Tell me, do you know if any of your grandparents have an ability?"

Melanie frowned once more and shook her head. "I don't....Ive never met my mom's parents...And my father died when I was born so I never knew his side either. I think it all started with my mom though..."

-Hawkins' House-

Galv was already suspicious, but now he was even more so as he carried Melanie up the stairs.

He turned his head towards his sister, frowning before he spoke.

“...Elizabeth, you didn't bring a guy home, did you?” Galv asked.

Well, at least he wasn't expecting Joyce had.



Joyce put his hand on her hips, the boy trying to calm down a little. He felt... warm, Joyce herself was always warmer then you'd think due to her power.

It wasn't as though Sage didn't know what he could do... He was well aware of that, his father not being a shy one when it came to 'the talk.' He just didn't want to become like his dad, at all.

But he shifted slightly, picking Joyce up carefully and placing her on his lap so they would be closer, still kissing her while doing so.

Now Galv really was going to kill him.

Paris

-US Embassy-

Aaron nodded slightly. It seemed like they both had some parental issues.

“Well... no use dwelling on our parents,” he said after a moment, “Errr... Why don't we make use of the time we have? We could go get a bite to eat, or something.”

-Hotel-

“No, I'm greedy too. We just want different things,” Ethan said. He frowned, looking down at the ground for a moment.

“If I had asked you to marry me, would you have considered it, back then?” Ethan asked after a moment. He didn't believe Kanna would have said “yes” in the end, though.

Flashback

Aaron was already sound asleep, the adrenaline having gone and left him exhausted.

After about fifteen minutes Ethan walked in, having finished his calls.

“There's a room this way,” he said quietly, “I... didn't build this expecting many people. It's still partially under construction.”

He showed Kanna another room, with a simple bed as well, “You can have the bed. I'll take some blankets and a pillow and go sleep by the kids.”



“I see... thank you for telling me,” Lily said, “You seem nervous though... Is something wrong? I'm sorry if I said anything I shouldn't have.”

Lily was being very polite... but it did almost... feel like there was something underneath, something more sinister.

New York City

Hawkins' House

Joyce gave a little breath when Sage picked her up and sat her back down, the girl's pale face going bright red now that she was sitting on his lap. Joyce was a pretty sheltered girl, but luckily (or unluckily) she knew all about the birds and the bees...At least just enough to know that this was something to be blushing about.

Instead of letting her embarrassment get the best of her Joyce played it cool, continuing to kiss Sage, playing her hands on his shoulders. She was at least nervous enough not to let them wander too much.

[....]

"...Elizabeth, you didn't bring a guy home, did you?”

Instantly Elizabeth's face went very red, the girl shaking her head as she followed them. "What!? Of course not! T-Though if you wanna go check feel free to go into my room and look around for saaaaay ten minutes or so? Melanie too!"

Now even Melanie was suspicious. "Is something the matter Elizabeth?"

Paris

US Embassy

Chloe nodded, taking Aaron's hand causally as they walked.

"Sure, sounds good to me. Hey if you want I can cook you something back at my bar! It may not be the nicest (or cleanest) place but i'm not too shabby around an oven!"

Hotel

Kanna thought about Ethan's question for a moment...She knew she needed to answer truthfully. "I probably would have said no....Though back then I really did want to settle down. You were pretty much all the stability I wanted in my life...But I would have been too much of an idiot to say yes...."

Flashback

Kanna jumped a bit when Ethan came in, frowning and shaking her head. "I'll sleep in here with the children....I only see them a few times a year, I want to be with them tonight...Make sure they sleep okay..."

Kanna typically liked the finer things in life....Though she had no qualms with sleeping on the floor.

[...]

Melanie was suddenly worried she had offended the other woman....Instantly she shook her head. "N-No you're fine. I just get a little weird when people bring up my mother...She isn't the best person in the world."

It was a while before Didymus and Erica returned. When it was all over, they both looked a tad emontionally worn out, as if neither had particurlarly enjoyed the conversation, or parts of it, yet also somewhat satisfied, as if it was good after all.

"See you tomorrow, then, Miss Fontaine?"

"Erica." she said-correcting him.

"...um, yes, Erica..." Didymus seemed a little nervous when he said that, as if something was on his mind.

Erica gave a weak smile to him, then turned to the group.

"Thank you all for your help. God bless, and I'll see you tomorrow." she said, and was off.

Didymus just sat down, and took a deep breath, looking spaced out...

Galv put Melanie down carefully, turning towards Elizabeth.

“Okay sis... what the heck is up?” Galv asked, “What are you trying to hide?”

Paris

-US Embassy-

“Sounds like fun. I know how to cook some too. Ever have a burger before?” Aaron asked as he and Chloe held hands, heading outside.

-Hotel-

“Thank you for answering truthfully,” Ethan said, “I... appreciate it.”

He looked up at the ceiling, “Do you ever wonder what life would have been like? If we had... you know, settled down?”

-Cafe-

When Didymus returned, Aiden looked very nervous, twiddling with her fingers a little.

She wasn't sure this was a good idea. She was worried this would end very badly... But...

With a nervous knot in her stomach, Aiden turned to Didymus.

“Umm... Didymus... could... I talk to you too?” Aiden asked, speaking quietly and staring at Didymus's chin, not quite brave enough to look up at his eyes.

Flashback

Ethan paused, then nodded, “We can both sleep out there then...”

He grabbed some blankets, handing some to Kanna, along with a pillow.



“Well I apologize for bringing up old memories,” Lily said, “Finally... Mrs. Hawkins, I have one more question for you.”

Lily leaned forward, smiling, “Would you consider working here as well?”

Didymus was a tad concerned when he looked to Aiden, not sure what to say, not sure if he wanted to hear what she had to say, not sure about not wanting to hear it...

"...is this about your sandwiches? Sorry, I forgot, what with all that's going on..." he said.
