“I will do my best to convince him. Given what is happening now, he may be more open to it than you might think.” Corwin said with a small smile, as he turned and started hobbling towards the door. He waited, leaning on his cane, and then looking back over his shoulder to Sarai as she bowed.

“I appreciate your concern, but I’ve been through much worse than this before. I’ll be fine.”

He walked towards the door and opened it, heading out into the hall. Connor walked over and took Sarai’s hand.

“I’m sure my grandpa can convince your dad.”

"Gahhhhh! No one said there would be giant swords!" he said to himself, noticing just who he had attracted with his stunt. He looked around himself again, to try and get a gauge on which ways he could go to escape.

Once he had a vague idea, he set the giant candy pot rolling in the direction where the people were coming from down below. But instead of running backwards and away, he followed along behind the rolling pot. Sure he could have went back the same way he came, but he was trying to distract everyone away from that area, so Nanami could escape. He had to get out of this place through the front, or give Nanami enough time to get away from the back.

So he needed to get around these people somehow, at the very least. Hopefully they wouldn't be expecting the direct route, which would give him a little edge.

The numerous figures running up gasped as they spotted an enormous metal candy pot rolling down at them. Two of them dove out of the way while a third was struck by the pot and toppled over.

A fourth jumped over the pot and dashed straight at Marco, swinging a knife at him!

Once Genius left Sarai moved quickly in front of Connor, hugging him tightly before quickly kissing him on the cheek. "T-Thanks for standing up for me. I d-don't know what I would do if I had to actually speak to that officer on my own."

[...]

Meanwhile Genius was seeing the very-annoyed officer out, after assuring him (numerous times) that he understood they were now under house arrest. Once he was finally alone the man gave a sigh, wiping his forehead with a cloth napkin.

He then noticed the creaking of the stairs and Corwin at the top of them. Aparently the old man had finally woken up.

Connor was a little surprised by Sarai’s sudden affection, but he happily hugged her back. He closed his eyes as a small sigh escaped his lips.

“It’s nothing really. That guy was a jerk… grandfather and I see a lot of people like him in our travels, and I can’t stand them.”

[…]

Corwin gave a nod towards Genius as he hobbled down the stairs, leaning on his cane half the time. When he was on the same level as Genius, he bowed his head slightly.

“Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I am in your debt.”

Paris

[Genius’ Mansion]

"It's no problem what-so-ever" Genius said, wiping any worry off this face and bowing his head at Corwin. "It's my civic duty to aid my elders, something they taught us back in the home county...Though it seems to have been lost here in Paris..." Genius shot a glare at the door before continuing. "No disrespect intended of course, but I suspect you had something to do with that officer rushing off in a huff and putting us on house arrest. I doubt my daughter would have the gall to do that on her own."

Genius motioned for Corwin to follow, leading him to a sitting room and taking a seat.

[...]

"By this point we're used to them." Sarai explained, stepping back with an obvious blush on her face. "It's not that much different than the British who are in India, though there they know better to ask a girl to speak with them in private. It looks bad all around and even though they are in power they are also severely outnumbered. Here, we just do as we're told"

Sarai didn't like the circumstances of living here, but she was glad she was in Paris. She would have never met Connor otherwise.

“Regrettably, that’s probably true.” Corwin said as he gave a thoughtful nod. He leaned on his side, on his cane, and strummed his neatly trimmed beard as he looked over at Genius.

He followed Genius into the sitting room and sat down across from the man, leaning his cane at his side and keeping in a rather neutral tone.

“I’m afraid I ran into some trouble with some unpleasant Germans. I fear they likely have hold in the local police, and that is why they came to harass you.”

[…]

Connor frowned as the subject of the British came up. He rubbed the side of his neck and looked over at Sarai, offering a small smile.

“I can understand your frustrations. Relations between England and Ireland are… complicated.” Connor, the son of an Irish man and a British woman, had always grown up in the middle of that very unhappy history.

“… I’ll help you get to America, Sarai. Maybe there you can find some peace.”

One plus about always carrying around a briefcase full of various secret-agent-like goodies was that Marco was really adept at using his briefcase in active situations.

And this certainly counted as an active situation.

Using his briefcase to block the swinging knife, Marco continued towards the fourth figure, then reaching towards them to strike them in the neck, in hopes of incapacitating him. He didn't stay dealing with that guy for long, though, soon hurdling over the candy pot (and the unfortunate person rolled over by it), and continuing a dash towards the front entrance.

The unlucky would-be killer was struck in the neck and suddenly his entire body felt limp. He fell forward and slammed into the ground, unable to move.

As Marco dashed out of the factory, he would find himself in the grassy yard out front. In the distance was the street and the dingy alleyway beyond, where the car was parked and awaiting their speed getaway.

Didymus shook his head.

"Blast it, Aiden...this is a firefight. Bullets flying. You...there's going to be much more mundane ways to die here..." he struggled to explain.

He was quiet for a moment, but the door in front of them leading from the lobby staircase to the upstairs rooms burst open! Von Staffens was there, along with Sin! Didymus fired his pistol at Staffens, who dove as Didymus tossed some of the orbs he carreid onto the walls and floor.

Staffens returned fire with his own pistol.

"THE BLOOD OF THE FAVORED TO SATE THE THIRST OF THE EXILED!" he screeched, firing.

"YOU KNOW MINE IS THE ONLY WAY! YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON YOUR PATH, AMERICAN! RED DAWN AT THE TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING! I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN IT!!!" he cried.

Didymus looked surprised, even shocked, but said nothing.

"ONLY WITH THE RUINIOUS POWERS CAN THE WORLD BE SAVED!!!" Staffens cried out again.

Didymus fired a few more times.

"Those ruinous powers can't save ANYTHING! That isn't what they do!" he called back.

Sin took cover the moment the bullets started firing, jumping behind the wall. She looked around the hallway, desperate to find some way to escape – and then she noticed a nearby end table neatly arranged against the wall.

She quickly grabbed it and jumped back into the room, throwing the table towards Didymus and Aiden!

Aiden frowned, hearing Staffens...

“Powers don't mean you're better then others! I should know!” Aiden shouted, fire burning in her hands as she ducked down by Didymus.

Then Sin threw a table at them, Aiden focusing. She stood up, throwing a blast of super heated fire, hitting the table and burning it into ashes in seconds before it could hit them, then ducked back down under cover, shaking a little, but determined...

“I hope you can stay safe,” Aaron said to Chloe, “Though if you ever want to see America... I could show you some places. New York City, at least.”

Didymus had been ducking behind cover...when Aiden burned the end table, he was...disappointed. They were in cover. That could have caused a fire...

Staffens, still ducking, squeezed off a couple blind shots.

"I'm not saying myself BETTER..." he said. "Far from it...only that mine is the only way to save the world." He paused, as Didymus took another shot at him, and began to reload.

"Think about it, American..." Staffens said. "...I KNOW you see it coming. You see your own countrymen falling. You know NOW how their patriotism wavers. Do you enjoy sunsets, American? Because one is occuring now...and ironically only the shadow can stop it."

Didymus was growing irritated, or even saddened.

"Ruinous powers only cause ruin. That is why they're CALLED that. Total ruin. Even for those who arrogantly assume they're getting the better of them...besides..."

He fired a few times at the shadows, which only recoiled even further with a shriek.

"I've seen the horrors they unleash. Call me weak, but I don't want that on my conscience..."

He grinned, grimly.

Von Staffens' words were hitting a sore spot with him...

"I'm gonna ask you both ONE more time to stand down and turn yourselves back in." he said.

Staffens, for his part, began motioning, as discreetly as he could, to Sin, telling her to give ground back into the room they came out of...

...she would have heard something moving in there...quickly. And low pitched, yet frantic murmuring...

Aiden focused again, glaring at the shadows. She took a deep breath, saying a soft prayer as she focused. A ball of fire came from her hand, and she tossed it upwards, where it glowed brightly.

It's light seemed to stab at the shadows Staffen was making, stopping them from getting towards herself or Didymus!

Sin looked about as Von Saffens taunted the Americans, attracting all of their attention. She smirked a bit – an idea formulating in her mind. She could use this as the perfect window to escape.

Her allegiance was to HYDRA, not the Thule. She had no problem leaving him behind if it meant her escape… but for now, she obeyed and walked back into the hallway, being as cautious as ever…
