I'll bite your legs off!
Paris streets

Didymus paused, wondering...

He slowly, as if asking permission, brought up his other arm.

He wasn't sure he wanted this, and in the back of his mind, the potential of him getting with some girl who just couldn't land anyone else while...others...landed EXACTLY who they wanted and/or could even have their pick of MANY enticing options was-

Such thoughts, even if true, will destroy you.

He did his best to hide these thoughts and emotions from Aiden and slowly drew her into the hug he was confident she wanted...

"I'm sorry." he said.

-Chloe's Bar-

Aaron paused for a moment, then smiled as he sat down.

“So, I'm pretty short. My dad is too. We don't really look like we're as strong as we actually are. So we use that to our advantage. Set up a little strength competition, like an arm wrestling contest. Do some betting, let the pot build, then I'll go all in against someone who thinks they can beat me. And then I win, considering my strength. I saw my dad do it before once,” Aaron told Chloe.

-Streets-

Aiden blushed as Didymus brought her into a hug, turning red as she hugged him back.

“I'm sorry.”

Aiden paused, looking confused for a moment.

“... What are you sorry for...?” she asked, frowning now.

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

Sage turned beet red as well when Elizabeth said that.

“I... I... ummm... I'm really not ready to be a dad,” Sage simply said, blank faced now.



Galv smiled, hugging his eldest back and then ruffling her hair again, as dad's do.

“Alright then. You get some sleep now, who knows what tomorrow will hold. I need to check on your mother and make sure she's okay. We'll talk more tomorrow about Sage and everything,” Galv said.

"For what you've had to go through..." Didymus said. "...trying to be a nice and honorable, trying to keep the faith, fearing that despite everything you'll still just have to be alone till you pass on..." he said.

"...I'm sorry...I know...kind of...I don't know if I'm the answer you seek in that regard, really, and maybe that's another reason I'm sorry, but...I can at least give you this..."

Aiden frowned, then stepped away from Didymus, staring at him for a moment.

“I... I like you. I don't know what you're after either, or what anything means for us... I... I won't lie and say I haven't had... thoughts... but they're just that... I don't or expect you to think you need to or have to give me pity or anything like that...” Aiden said, then sighed. “In the long run... I do want to be able to have my own family, a loving husband, kids of mine own... but I'm not looking for it all right this second. Can't we just... get to know each other first, and figure it out from there?”

She paused, then blushed as she looked down for a moment now.

“...But that hug was nice, thank you...”

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

"Oh! Looks like you definitely had a little scheme going on" Chloe said with a smirk, taking Aaron's hand and pulling him out of the bar for the time. She headed down the street with him eventually coming to a cluster of seedy pubs and hotels, where men twice Chloe's size (and Aaron's too) walked around. They were obviously in the military, perhaps navy taking a break from their work on the coast, hoping to make some extra money or woo a pretty Parisian woman.

"Why don't we try your luck out here" she said with a mischievous glint in her eye. She liked trouble....And guys who caused it were VERY attractive t her.

[...]

When Chloe left Sarai gave a sigh, cleaning up for a few moments longer before deciding to abandon the endevor and head home. She didn't really want to run the bar alone (she was never comfortable doing it) and she really wanted to check on Connor and his grandad.

The girl grabbed her jacket and headed out, locking up behind her.

New York City

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal gave a nod "I'm sure they can. The CIA should have access to any immigration documents that a person would need to get into the country even for a vacation....Of course that's all depending on if he came here legally....Though I can't imagine him sneaking through American waters either..."

Crystal sighed, lying back on the couch and staring at the ceiling. "Why does everyone have to be so sketchy nowadays? What happened to human decency and all that jazz?" she pondered, looking to Sama. "I've done some reading on Japan. They're just as advanced when it comes to technology as we are...If not more. The planes they have designed rival those built by Hugo Junkers in Germany. If this Rouge lady wants to put blame on their prince it could start a really big conflict. Just imagine those two countries trying to blow each other up."

Hawkins' House

Elizabeth noticed Sage's expression and gave a little laugh "Good, Galv will be happy you said that too"

The girl stood up and gave a stretch, heading to the stairs. She'd be sharing Joyce's room tonight. "Get some sleep kiddo, who knows what tomorrow has in store."

[...]

Joyce nodded to her father, deciding for now it would be best if she did as she was told....Not to mention she was pretty tired...

"Night dad..."

[...]

Having been freaked out by the figure she saw in her room the woman was still in the bathroom, sitting on they edge of the tub, wrapped in a towel and shivering slightly. She didn't want to go back out and see if he was still there, though at the same time she knew the shadow being couldn't hurt her....Probably.

As a kid Melanie dealt with a similar issue that Blake was going through now. A person created by her powers, probably because she was lonely and wanted a friend. At first the shadows provided that, a boy much like Jason to protect her when no one was around. But eventually the shadows turned into something different...They wanted her to do dangerous things, to make her better adept to host them...It seemed strange, but Melanie had no problem as a child hiding out in meat lockers in the local butcher, or jumping into freezing lakes to get cold enough to make her shadows happy. It seemed insane now but as a child she would have been very glad to die for her shadows, since it made the strange boy who protected her happy.

Melanie now knew how insane that sounded...Luckily she came to her senses during her teenage years, forcing herself not to listen to those voices and to poof away any sign of her 'friend' whenever he came about. It should have been as simple as that tonight as well.

Melanie sighed and stood up, deciding she couldn't live in the bathroom forever. If it was out there she would make it go away...She had no choice.

[Hotel Stairwell]

As Marco charged, the Assassin moved in to try to strike him but the briefcase was in the way. He spun around, slashing at Marco’s legs instead!

[Chloe’s Bar]

As Sarai took to the street, a car along the road suddenly turned its engine on. Behind the wheel a figure who sat back, allowing shadow to cover their body, watched Sarai with interested eyes.

“She knows where he is…” The figure mumbled quietly. “All I have to do is follow her…”

[New York City]

[Crystal’s Apartment]

“Given the resources they’ve displayed up until now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they found a way to sneak into the country.” Sama sighed, leaning back and placing his hands behind his head.

“All it would take is a few well-placed bribes. Get on a ship, bribe the dockworkers… it’s not tough if you have the money.”

He looked over to Crystal as she started to ponder. He could tell she had thought this all out. He frowned. Things were looking bad.

“Maybe… whatever she’s planning, she could start a war… but we’ll stop her. We’ll find a way to stop her, Crystal. I promise.” Sama said, giving a small smile.

Didymus paused. Despite, perhaps, his relief that Aiden seemed to be more sensible and unsure about him...he couldn't help but feel a little rejected. A nonsensical notion, he knew, but one that lingered. Perhaps his mission had made him hypersensitive to such things.

"I...that...is actually a really good idea; the best way to go about this sort of thing." he said. It really was.

"But yes, it...was...nice..."

He shook his head.

"Perhaps we should get back to the others."

This time the assassin attacked, Marco used his briefcase as like a shield. It worked to get the assassin moving elsewhere to attack, so Marco took action by shooting the grappling hook from his briefcase up towards the stairwell railing above, to lift him up out of the way of the counterattack.

Now with a height advantage, Marco quickly reached into his pocket, and threw one of his round spheres at the assassin. This one would explode and cover the assassin in ice, if it hit them, or the ground right around their feet.

Paris

Streets

Sarai rushed down the street, pulling her coat tightly against her as the wind began to blow a bit. She didn't immediately realize that she was being followed, but as she made a turn into the long street of diplomatic residences she had a sense looming doom fall over her. She girl paused, looking around.....Something seemed off....

But there was no one around, so she continued to head towards her house.

Sarai knew her father was probably busy at work so she went straight to the back room to Connor and his grandfather, knocking softly and sticking her head into the door.

New York City

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal gave a small smile, leaning down from her spot on the couch and kissing Sama. "I know we will....I don't know how, but we have to....If not...."

Crystal trailed off, running her hand through her hair. "I don't want to think of what will happen if we don't. We may be saving all of New York, heck, all of America."

No pressure.

[Hotel Stairwell]

The assassin hadn’t expected the sphere. He lunged with his blade and cut it as it flew towards him, unaware of what it would do – the result was his arm and most of his shoulder encased in ice. The assassin fell backwards, shaking and shivering and trying to get free – but with his body temperature suddenly plummeted down so low, it was hard to react.

[Sarai’s House]

Connor heard the knock on the door and gulped. He didn’t know if it would be Sarai’s brothers or Sarai herself, but he was afraid that it was the former. Connor knew that Sarai’s family wasn’t comfortable with them staying here…

When he opened the door and spotted Sarai, he felt a wave of relief wash over him… and he felt his heart skip a beat. He smiled to Sarai and quickly stepped aside to let her in.

“H-Hey.” Connor stammered.

[…]

Outside of the building, the car stopped and the driver grabbed his radio and contacted someone…

[New York City]

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama smiled up at Crystal from the kiss, but all too quickly his mind was back on the task at hand – and the potential danger that surrounded it. He sighed, running his hand through his hair.

“We’ll figure this all out. We WILL stop whatever she’s planning.” Sama said, taking Crystal’s hand and giving it a soft squeeze. “I promise, whatever it takes, we’ll get to the bottom of this and stop her.”

-Seedy Area-

Aaron paused, looking over to Chloe and seeing her face...

“...Okay then,” Aaron said. He looked around, then put his hands together.

He spotted two men, then walked forward, grabbing an empty bottle of beer from the table, his walk becoming a little erratic, though if one paid attention, he was still moving very carefully, avoiding any other stray bottles, pieces of glass, or other debris.

He tapped one man on the arm, who turned and looked at him.

“Que?” the sailor asked, scoffing slightly.

Aaron had a brief moment when he realized that he did not actually know French, but then proceeded to go on anyways. If these men were sailors, they probably knew English. A lot of trading was done in English.

“That guy... over there...” Aaron said, waving his arm dramatically in one direction, “I just... I overheard him saying that they were a lot stronger then you's guys. They'd... they'd bet on it too.”

The sailor frowned, “Did they? Well then...”

The sailor and his buddies got up, walking towards the other group. As the argument began to escalate, Aaron stepped forward again, before a fight could break out.

“Why don't you guys arm wrestle over it?” Aaron suggested, “Make a bet out of it...?”

-Streets-

Aiden sighed a little, then smiled up at Didymus.

“I'm... not entirely sure how this all works, even in more normal circumstances...” Aiden said, “So I hope I can try and do this right...”

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

“Goodnight Joyce... sleep well,” Galv said, heading out and closing the door behind him, then headed to the master bedroom.



“Alright... and thank you for listening to me,” Sage said as Elizabeth left. He sighed and laid down on the couch, pulling his blanket up around him. He felt a little cold now after being so close to Joyce earlier. She had been awfully warm...

He shook his head, trying not to focus on that right now, or he'd never get any sleep tonight...

Instead he focused on what he and Elizabeth had discussed. Did Joyce really trust him that much...?



Galv headed into the master bedroom. Not seeing Melanie on the bed, he headed to the bathroom.

“Melanie, are you feeling any better?” Galv asked, knocking on the door.

Paris

Seedy Area

Chloe followed Aaron, staying quiet as he attempted to find a sucker to arm wrestle. She knew women were expected to be seen and not heard, so playing with the facade she acted like a proper girlfriend to the boy.

“Why don't you guys arm wrestle over it? Make a bet out of it...?”

Chloe frowned, stepping forward and putting on a very convincing facade. "Darling no, you can't win! They'll break your arm" she whispered, loud enough for the men to hear.

Sarai’s House

Sarai smiled as Connor let her in, the girl noticing his slightly flustered expression.

"I wanted to come check on you and your grandfather" she told him, pulling out a small brown bag full of buns. "I wasn't sure my dad would have any food you liked, so I brought these. They probably taste better than a curry"

New York City

Hawkins' House

Melanie looked up from her spot sitting on the edge of the tub. At first she wondered if the voice was a result of her powers...So slowly she went to the door and peeked out.....

When she saw Galv she instantly hugged him tightly. "Oh thank goodness" she mumbled going a bit limp in his arm.

Crystal’s Apartment

Crystal gave a little nod, staring up at the celing from her spot. She was tired....Perhaps they could have a bit of time to sleep....

"I know the living room isn't that comfy, but we should get some sleep. Or at least try"

Before something happens. Because it totally will.

Marco dropped back down, from where he repelled up to avoid the assassin previously, in order to use their disorientation to try and get in close enough to completely incapacitate this assassin.

Upon landing, Marco rushed towards the assassin (leaving his briefcase hanging, for now), towards the side where their arm was covered in ice, in order to knock them out with his ability, by striking them in their neck.

“Thanks!” Connor grabbed Sarai’s buns [size0](Rumi made it phrase it that way)[/small] and happily accepted the bag. He smiled to the girl and then glanced over to the other side of the room, where his grandfather was resting.

“He’s doing a lot better. Thanks again for letting us stay here.”

[Hotel Stairwell]

The assassin instantly went stiff when he was struck in the neck and dropped to the floor, unconscious. If Marco were to check, he’d find a document written in Kanji on his belt.

[New York City]

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama nodded. He was pretty tired after nearly being killed by Nazis… and Kimi. He just sighed and leaned back down.

“Good idea. I have a feeling we’ll end up in another mess way too soon…”

"Sorry about the headache you're going to have when you wake up..." Marco said, mostly to himself, after the assassin fell to the ground unconscious.

He DID check him, though, afterwards, for two reasons. Firstly, Marco wanted to disarm the guy from as many of the weapons the guy had as he could. Nanami, or the prince, could possibly learn something about who specifically was this guy, depending on how unique some of their stuff might be. (though whether they would decide to share any of that, was probably debatable) But also... Marco could use some of the extra goods the guy had on him. If he had smoke bombs, or extra knives, or anything, that'd be useful. Marco couldn't keep using those ice-bomb things, or some of the other items he had, because he was thousands of miles away from where he could get some of the ingredients for his various technologies.

And secondly, the guy might have something interesting, that wasn't a weapon, on him. And in this case, it seemed that he did unless this is Naruto and that's an explosive tag or something. It appeared to be a note written in Japanese... or Chinese. It was definitely Asian, but he couldn't read it. The bits of Japanese that he knew were purely verbal. So this would be another goodie for Nanami to take a gander at when he met back with her.

Marco quickly stashed the paper in his briefcase, and then headed up the rest of the stairs, to try and get to the roof!
