[New York City: OSS Office]

"You know, I never really pegged you as a research kinda guy...You look so...Stifled"

Crystal stood at the door, a small brown bag in her hand which she came over and handed to Sama. "Food. Because heavens know you need food to get through all of this mess" she then kissed his cheek.

[New York City: Hawkins' House]

“If it's going to be twins, maybe we could paint it two colors, wonder if it'll be two boys, two girls, or one of each...”

Melanie smiled, leaning back against the man. "I kinda hope it's girls...I know everyone says boys are easier but i'm pretty sure everyone is lying" she joked.

It probably didn't help that Blake exhausted her from the day he was born. She loved him to death and he was absolutely perfect, but the little super-powered boy was a handful.

"Of course i'll be happy either way. I just want two healthy babies at this point." Melanie said, placing a hand on her belly, which was now past the point of being able to hide. She wasn't looking forward to the kicking...And the sparking....But she was extremely excited non-the-less.

[...]

"Why do you keep them once you're already finished?"

A little girl sat on the opposite side of Blake's bed, legs folded indian style and hands currently busy with one of the the stuffed toys by Blake's pillow. She had been playing with the stuffed bear...Sorta...She was mostly bouncing it up and down, making it walk along the blankets.

Samara looked over to Blake, before staring at the comic. "They're useless once your done..."

[...]

There was a wiggle of the doorknob and a moment later the front door opened to reveal Joyce, clad in her coat and a nice pair of boots, arms full of bags. Since the attacks in the city had calmed down her parents didn't worry so much about letting her outside alone, so she took the opportunity to run the the bakery and get some snacks....and to go to the park and talk to the bums on her way....But she wouldn't mention that part.

"I come bearing treats from the bakery!" The girl exclaimed happily, looking around to only see Sage "Where is everyone?"

[Lyon: Hotel]

Both Laila and Adrianna jumped when Oliver spoke, both girls turning to the boy and insatntly calming down (lest the be seen as totally insane young women in front of anyone but their brother).

"O-Oliver!" Adrianna said, speaking up first. She took a step forward and shook her head "N-No no, you're fine. My sister was just leaving"

"Oooooh so NOW you let me go. How kind of you sister" Laila said with a grin, stepping past the two.

[Paris:Chloe's Bar]

Sarai stiffened as she heard a voice nearing the door, now shaking the snoring Chloe a bit more urgently. "C-Chlooooe guests!" she hissed, feeling very bad but still managing to smack the girl (lightly) upside the head.

With a bolt Chloe jumped up. "W-What!? I'm awake!"

There was then a knock to the door which Chloe was quick to get. "Welcome! Come in a drink-unless you're a Nazi then get the hell out"

From her spot Sarai groaned. Chloe was still kinda drunk...Or she was just really brash today.

-Hawkins' House-

Galv smiled, still holding Melanie, “Same here... I hope they're healthy too. Don't care if they have a power or anything.”

Galv didn't really care if his powers were passed down or not, though on some subconscious level he was very glad that Joyce had his spark...

He looked around the room, “Maybe just something like green? Or a nice light blue?”



“They're not useless... I can read them again later, if I want,” Blake said. Many of the comics were worn with repeated rereading, and he knew several of them by heart now.

“And... I like collecting them. It's nice to have them, and they remind me that maybe I can be a hero,” Blake said. He walked over to the bed and got up on it, sitting in front of Samara. “Isn't there something you like doing?”

Killing your enemies, perhaps, Blake.



“Upstairs,” Sage answered, looking up and inhaling deeply as he smelled the baked goods, “Mmmm, that smells good.”

He got up, putting his drawings aside for now and walking over to Joyce, “I think your parents are trying to decide what to paint your newest siblings room.”

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

“Not Nazis, just Americans,” the voice said, two figures walking in.

One of them probably would have done well in Nazi Germany. Tall, blond haired, with green eyes, he smiled and nodded to the girls.

The other was a very dark skinned man with brown hairs and dark hair, a little taller then his companion, who nodded amiably but didn't say anything.

“Name's Edda, and this is Paul,” the blond said, introducing himself, “Word on the street this was a good place to find out about the city, get some information.”

New York City: Hawkins' House

"Ooooh light blue could work...And maybe the cribs can be pink if they're girls!" She decided with an excited grin. While Melanie was eager to get to work she knew they still had plenty of time...She'd probably change her mind nine times between now and when the babies arrived.

Poor Galv was going have to repaint alot most likely....

[...]

“Isn't there something you like doing?”

"Like to do? I like to protect you" Samara answered, completely serious. Blake was probably well aware that the girl would be more than happy to kill for him...

Samara paused, looking back down at the stuffed toy in her hands. "But....I kinda like playing with this too" she said, clutching the bear tightly.

[...]

"Got you some too" Joyce said with a grin, reaching her hand into the box of goodies and producing powdered doughnut which she presented to her boyfriend "I got a jelly one for Blake too...And a half dozen macaroons if you wanna share them with me"

While Joyce was very happily dating Sage she was still a bit guilty of charming the baker's son down the street into getting large amounts of sweets...She couldn't help it! The sugar called to her....

Paris: Chloe's Bar

“Not Nazis, just Americans,”

Chloe raised a brow, and Sarai gave a small gulp, both girls standing back to let the two Americans in. By the looks of it they weren't much older than Chloe and Sarai )if at all) and they didn't seem threatening...Chloe grinned and motioned for them to come to the bar.

"Take a seat men! As the owner of this bar I always welcome American and their money! I'm Chloe and this is my business partner Sarai"

“Name's Edda, and this is Paul. Word on the street this was a good place to find out about the city, get some information.”

"Depends on the information you're looking for. I know my way around the city like a pro and can tell you all the great touristy spots and such!"

Sarai frowned, walking behind the bar and grabbing two glasses. She had a feeling Edda and Paul wanted more than just advice about the best time to see the Eiffel Tower....She tried to give Chloe a look of warning but the dark-skinned girl paid no notice. Sarai sighed and turned to Paul "Would you like anything to drink?" she asked softly.

Galv would be happy to paint the entire house a dozen times over if it made Melanie happy.

“That sounds good to me,” Galv said, “I can head down to the paint store and pick up some cans right now, if you want.”



“I... appreciate you wanting to protect me... but I should be able to fight my own battles,” Blake answered, “I want to be a hero myself, after all...”

He then smiled, looking at the stuffed bear in Samara's arms, “You can have that, if you'd like.”



“Ohhh, thank you!” Sage said, smiling as he took the donut, biting into it. He then paused for a moment, frowning when Joyce mentioned how many macaroons she had gotten. He wasn't very happy that she would flirt with others, even if it was done without actual intent to follow through.

Sage was a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot better then his father, but he wasn't perfect.

“I wish you wouldn't flirt with other guys...” Sage said, sighing softly.

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

Paul paused looking towards Sarai, then tapped Edda's shoulder, making a couple signs with his hands.

“Paul here would like some tea, if you have any,” Edda said, “If not, boiled water.”

As Paul had some of his own tea bags.

Edda then smiled back towards Chloe, grinning at the girl, “Well... we're looking for something more... underground. Sites people might not normally see.”

Edda was an explorer first and foremost... he liked to see places a lot of other people hadn't.

Didymus looked over the photograph.

"This looks remarkably tame for Thule." he said. "If I didn't know better, I'd think someone, whether it be whoever provided the tip or Thule themselves, was merely trying to waste our time." he said.

He looked around.

"...I'm guessing you already know this contact is to be trusted? I...like to look over my shoulder now. Even more, that is."

He paused.

"Heh, why not? I'm honestly not sure if I feel safer on or off this territory these days..." he said.

He checked his watch.

"Hey, that Aiden girl is due to come by in a bit. You...have some space in your room's fridge? Mine is getting a little full..."

He usually either ate in the embassy cafeteria (though Snake MAY have noticed that that had been declining) or out. The end result was that he had a small refrigerator full of uneaten Aiden lunches.

New York City

Melanie nodded, wishing she could help with the room. But considering i'm pretty sure paint has all sorts of lead in it in the 50's we're not gonna let her. "Alright, Jason said he'd eventually be over to help too but no need to wait for him, i'll put him to work cleaning something if he get's here before you get back"

She moved forward and kissed her husband. "Maybe you should take Blake with you, he's been hiding out in his room all day reading...He needs at least a little bit of fresh air...."

[...]

“You can have that, if you'd like.”

Samara looked down at the bear, hugging it tighter. She didn't say anything, but gave a very small smile.... But then she paused.

"When you become a hero will you need me?" she asked.

His parents hoped not.

[...]

“I wish you wouldn't flirt with other guys...”

Joyce paused, still biting half-way into a doughnut of her own as Sage spoke. The girl wasn't sure what the problem was, after all she only had eyes for the boy...And it gave her free baked goods...Of course she was Kanna's grand-daughter...She was a flirt by nature.

"What's the problem, I love you, not the boy at the bakery" Joyce stated, giving him a little smile. "You're the only one I care about"

Paris

“Paul here would like some tea, if you have any,i f not, boiled water.”

Sarai blinked, but gave a nod. She still wasn't sure why they guy wasn't speaking, but doubted it was her place to ask. The girl disappeared for a moment, coming back with a cup of steamy cup of what smelled like very spiced tea. "S-Sorry, I am not that good at making the English kind. It's chai"

"It's pretty good if you don't mind creamy poupouri!" Chloe joked

"Well... we're looking for something more... underground. Sites people might not normally see.”

Chloe raised a brow once more, leaning against the bar. "You definitely came to the right place...Underground is my specialty. I know all about they cool parties deep in the French bunkers from the last war. Oh and sometimes you can find old weapons down there that fetch a pretty penny-"

"Chloe..." Sarai mumbled, giving her a look as if to warn her not to get into trouble.

“I’m definitely not a research guy.” Sama sighed, as he looked over and happily accepted the bag. Then he hopped up from the chair and stretched – suddenly aware of how long it had been since he ate. Or stood up.

“Thanks,” Sama added with a grin. “As much as I hate this kind of work, I do think it paid off. I might have found something BIG!”

Sama excited grabbed a couple pieces of paper and handed them to Crystal. “I’ve been going over the money trail from the attackers last month.”

[Lyon: Hotel]

Oliver raised an eyebrow, but decided not to say anything. Laila and Adrianna were definitely worked up over something, but he didn’t want to get in the middle of it.

“Ooookay then…” Oliver rubbed the back of his neck as he turned to Adrianna. “IS everything alright?”

[Paris: US Embassy]p

“It’s possible this is a wild goose chase… or maybe there’s more to the story we aren’t seeing yet.” Snake shook his head. “Unfortunately, there’s no way to know until we look into it.”

He leaned against the wall and gave a small shrug. “… There’s very few people I actually trust, but this contact has provided reliable information in the past.”

Didymus shrugged.

"Very well. But seriously. Do you have space in your fridge? Aiden's stuff isn't half-bad, even if...I actually wonder where she gets it. I mean, her dad and she aren't exactly the richest, and...yeesh, now I feel kind of guilty. Again."

He suddenly felt a tad guilty for not eating much of it (again, he had had this line of thought before). In his credit he HAD said that Aiden's limited income could/should be better spend elsewhere.

"So...arm up and let's roll. If we want to avoid getting a civilian involved, we'll need to hurry."

Admittedly, some of the sandwiches DID make good late night snacks...

“Yeah, you can use my fridge. I don’t use it anyway.” Snake shook his head. He has mostly made use of the kitchen at the embassy, or local cafes while in Paris – although he did carry a small bag of D-Rations around with him.

“Let’s go.” Snake agreed.

It wasn't long, but Didymus had geared up and presumably Snake had as well. Soon, they would be on their way.

Didymus hoped that they didn't encounter Aiden...unsure as he was about her, he knew it would just be SIMPLER if she didn't get involved with what they were about to go see to...

New York City

-Hawkins' House-

“Perhaps... maybe take that Sage kid along, so he can earn his keep,” Galv said. He was annoyed because he had not caught Sage and Joyce making out at his house, which just made him believe they were still doing it when he wasn't around.

He was a highly trained engineer and had a few contracts he was on, so he was in and out of the house at various times.

“I think I'll do that. You and Joyce can have some mother-daughter time when we're out,” Galv said, “Maybe remind her about being responsible.”

Galv didn't want to become a grandfather in the same year they were having another kid.



“You're my friend!” Blake said, “Even if I didn't need you, I'd still want you around... You're my only friend...”



Sage frowned again, nodding slightly, “I know... it just... bothers me...”

He really liked Joyce, he was head over heels in love with her, but he did get super jealous.

-Gallic Enterprises-

Lily put a few papers away, to take them with her when she left. More reports.

She wondered if she'd have enough time to go check on him before Ryan came, but decided against it.

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

Paul gave Sarai a smile and drank the tea, nodding towards the girl.

“Hmmm... don't care too much about the parties, but where they might be... I hear there are a lot of catacombs underneath the city, places people haven't really been to in centuries,” Edda said, looking towards Chloe, “Though if you're going to be at one of those parties I might rethink that.”

Paul rolled his eyes.

-US Embassy-

As Snake and Didymus came down the steps, they would indeed find Aiden there, basket in hand, talking to one of the staff members. She paused when she saw them, brightening when she saw Didymus.

“Oh, I was about to head up,” Aiden said, “I brought you lunch!”

New York City

-OSS Office-

Crystal looked through the papers Sama handed her, the girl's brow furrowed as she read. "Where in the world did you get bank reciepts from terrorists?"

Sama has his connections...Or he bribed Jeremie.

"Better question would probably be how'd they get so much money...." she added, eating one of the cookies she had brought.

-Hawkins' House-

"Oh be nice, he's been such a gentleman" Melanie said with a giggle, stepping forward and draping her arms over his shoulders loosely. "A couple of days her go he went with Joyce and I to get groceries and wouldn't let either of us carry a single one! Poor boy looked as if he was going to fall over into the street with so much in his hands! He's certainly not his father-"

Thank goodness, because if so she'd never let him within a mile of Joyce.

[...]

Joyce was quiet for a moment before she gave a nod, doughnut still in her mouth and her eyes reading his expression. She stopped to chew before speaking again. "This really bothers you doesn't it?" she asked, moving beside him on the couch and taking his hand. "Alright then. I won't do it anymore if you don't think I should, though our current surplus of baked goods might dwindle a bit."

[...]

"...I'm not really sure if I can stay if you don't need me" Samara answered with a frown. She thought of Melanie's shadows and how they did not form into a being like her....They were hidden away and never came out. She didn't want to be like that. "I think that when you don't need me I have to hide inside you like your momma's powers do"

Paris

-Chloe's Bar-

Chloe couldn't help but smirk at Edda, hopping up on the bar so that she was now sitting. "Maybe I will....Though if it's old abandoned stuff you're looking for I can give you that too. There's some old subway station that some people I know use for parties and to hide alcohol so it wont be taxed. Down at the far end there's an old train that no one's been able to get in for years. It's all bolted shut but it looks pretty cool"

"C-Chloe! D-Don't tell them about hiding alcohol-"

Chloe waved off Sarai's sudden panic "These boys wont tell on me....Right boys?"

-Hotel-

"Fine....Just. Sister stuff. Annoying annoying sister stuff..." Adrianna mumbled, before taking a breath to cool off. "Don't worry about it. What up?"

[...]

Meanwhile Laila decided to find Musashi, which wasn't too terribly difficult.

"You know, I always picture you going to the roof to think, standing out with the wind blowing and you looking like a superhero." She mused, walking up behind him. "Of course even just standing on a balcony is still pretty epic too....Whatcha thinking about?"

GOSHDANGIT. Didymus thought, seeing Aiden.

"Oh, hello, Aiden..." he said.

"...you really didn't have to bring me lunch. Honestly, your limited income is probably best spent elsewhere...but...thank you." he said.

He didn't want to mention they were about to go out and investigate something, but they were armed up...

[Paris: US Embassy]

Snake paused at the sight of Aiden. He had gotten the impression that Didymus wanted to hurry on to the crime scene before they ran into the others, but now he just leaned against the wall and grabbed one of the cigars from his pocket, lighting it and bringing it up to his lips as he waited.

… Hey, it’s the 40’s, people smoke everywhere.

[Paris: Hotel]

Oliver blinked a couple of times, but then he quickly shook his head. From what he knew of Adrianna and her sister, it was probably best not to get in between them when they were having one of their… disagreements.

“I’m curious if you know what’s being planned. Nobody keeps me in the loop of anything.” He shrugged his shoulders.

[…]

Musashi gave a little smirk as he turned around, leaning with his elbows on the railing of the balcony. (Bad idea)

“I don’t know about superhero, but I do have my own battle armor… or I did. No idea if your government will ever trust me enough to actually use it, but one day at a time, I guess.”

He snickered a little, before returning to the important question.

“… I’m just thinking about the usual… leaving my country, my brother trying to kill me, now my sister’s here too… worried that your government might decide I’d be better off in a jail cell than on a covert team… the usual.” Musashi shrugged. “But now I’m thinking you and I should sneak out of here and have some fun before the Ice Queen gets back.”

"You know for a second I thought you were referring to my sister, she's in a particularly foul mood right now" Laila joked, coming up beside him and leaning on the balcony as well. "But I agree, let's blow this popsicle stand and actually have a bit of fun before the government decides you're a terrorist or something. I've heard from my dad's stories that there are some pretty wild parties underground in Paris."

The idea of Rica drinking and playing closet tango with French girls underground....Is not that farfetched actually.

[...]

Adrianna sighed, shaking her head at Oliver. "Just a lot of waiting right now. They barely tell me anything either...I think that's by Nanami's choosing though...The girl is more secretive than Fort Knox."
