Jason smiled down at Erin, giving her a nod. "Y-Yeah of course" Jason said, still unsure how to handle this girl. She was more or less harmless, but something seemed off about her too....Like she could stab him in the chest while telling him how much she loved him.

Oh well, hormones beat out logic.

"And i'm sure your brother's okay...I'll take care of you until he comes around"

[...]

Melanie smiled, despite being a bit worried...She wanted to help, but she was still scared-

Of course, what did she need to be worried about? She was her father's daughter...She couldn't die.

[...]

Sarai wasn't sure if she believed Connor totally (after all she hated being in any sort of pain) but she decided to listen to the boy. Sarai took a small breath and began to sew, as carefully as she could.

"S-Sorry...." she mumbled, trying to stay focused.

Erin smiled a little brighter now, moving forward and kissing Jason suddenly.

“Thank you...” she said, “I don't like being alone...it reminds me too much of what happened after the Games...”

When she was in an asylum.

Always remember that Jason.



“If you're going to New Vegas, you will need a guide.”

Ethan appeared as well now, taking a seat by Kanna, “I know the area myself...and I can probably help against the Legion...”

“We are grateful for any help offered,” Old Man Sensei said to Ethan.

“Hmph.” Gray looked over to Walter. “Personally, I don’t really care what you all do. I’ve never really understood the appeal of war… but I am not one to judge others. As long as I can continue my research, I say go and enjoy your wars!”

He laughed, and clapped Autumn on the shoulder. “Try not to get my Muttation killed, will you? They’re very hard to replace. And… if you DO capture any rebels alive… consider sending them my way?”

Autumn hesitated. “… That’s up to the President.”

It pained Autumn just to say those words; but he couldn’t be as candid with Gray as he usually was in front of Walter and Lily.

[Rebel Base]

“Why am I not surprised you’ve been to New Vegas?” Rica chuckled, looking to Ethan. “I’ve always wanted to see the town myself.”

Vegas, even post-apocalyptic Vegas, is Rica’s scene.

[…]

“It’s okay.” Musashi said, as he gritted his teeth and looked up to Melanie. “I’ve been through a lot worse than this.”

Aside from Sama, Musashi was the most injury prone of all the rebels.

“You’re doing good, Sarai.” Connor said to her.

"New Vegas.....Sounds like a dirty sketchy town full of dirty sketchy men" Kanna said looking from Rica to Ethan. "Though i'm sure we could use a guide."

"I dunno mom, I think it sounds interesting" Melanie said quietly to Galv with a small smile. "We could really help the rebellion...."

[...]

Jason froze, being kissed by Erin. He wasn't sure what their relationship exactly entailed.....But at the moment he didn't mind. Who could say no to lips that taste like cinnamon?

“I don't like being alone...it reminds me too much of what happened after the Games...”

Jason blinked, looking down at the girl and kissing the top of her head. "Try not to think about all of that, i'm here now" he told her "How about we get you something to eat? Surely you're hungry?"

[...]

Sarai nodded, put at least thanks to Musashi and Connor's affirmations. She continued to sew Musashi's arm shut, focusing very hard at not messing up. When she finished up on Musashi's arm she kept her eyes low. "I-I'm done, I t-t-think"

“New Vegas is a lot worse than just sketchy.”

Nanami walked over towards the table, her arms crossed as usual. She looked towards the group who sat eating, and Old Man Sensei, and she merely sighed.

“Vegas is… a complicated place. In some ways, it’s far more dangerous than the Capitol. There are a multitude of gangsters who fight for control of the city, and crime in Freeside is astronomical… however, the Strip is relatively safe. House has several robots, called Securitrons, that protect the city and don’t allow for any violence.”

She was being blunt, but she wanted these people to understand just what they were signing up for. Melanie and Galv may have captured the Enclave’s heart, but Nanami knew from experience how dangerous that could be.

[…]

Musashi sat up and looked down at his bandaged arm. “Hey, thanks! Huh… hopefully I’ll be in good enough shape for the New Vegas mission now.”

Connor smiled, and hugged Sarai. “You did a great job!”

“Yeah, she’s a natural. Trust me, I get bandaged up a lot.” Musashi confirmed.

“It's not the best place in the world, especially for children,” Ethan said, “I was only in New Vegas for a little bit...”

When he had fled The Legion with the newborn Maize, he had stopped in Freeside for a bit to rest and come up with a plan of action. He didn't want to stay in Freeside, and was terrified that if he went to the NCR, they're simply shoot him, or imprison him and he'd never see his daughter again.

So he had gone East, to the Enclave...to him the best of several bad choices at the time.

“If I remember right, the NCR has an embassy on The Strip, don't they? Along with Camp McCarren...” Ethan said, thinking back.

“Galv and Melanie will be safe there, at least as safe as they could be out there,” Old Man Sensei said, “We'll make sure they have some guards as well.”

He turned to Nanami now, “Nanami, I want you to go as well. You'll be in charge. We'll be asking for volunteers, ask for whoever you want to come. Let them know the mission will be very dangerous. And I'll need to brief you on something later, after you've rested more.”



Erin smiled a bit, staying close to Jason, enjoying his warmth.

“Yah...something to eat sounds good...” Erin nodded, “Let's go then.”

-Enclave Science Facility-

“I'm sure President Gallic would be willing to hand over a rebel or two,” Walter said, speaking up again, “He's generous.”

Nanami nodded. She knew perfectly well the real reason why OMS was so eager for her to lead the mission to New Vegas… it was a way of keeping her far away from Don Gallic, and keeping her too busy to think about the revelation.

… She decided not to argue, since she could use the distraction right now.

“Of course.” She replied.

"Yes, get Melanie as many guards as you can afford." Kanna said, looking to Old Man Sensei. "I'm not allowing even the chance of something happening to her in a place like that"

From her spot Melanie sighed a bit. She understood and appreciated the concern but she wondered what the point of her coming along was if only to stand on the sidelines and be protected. "Don't worry mom, i'll be fine" she tried, instantly being shushed by the woman.

"Nonsenese, we're not taking chances with you. Isn't that right Rica?"

Melanie groaned. Oh great, now her mom AND dad could team up together against her. "But I can't die! Hence not being dead from a bullet in my stomach"

[...]

Jason nodded, taking Erin's hand and leading the girl over to the dining area. At first the boy didn't notice his mom and sister in the group around one of the tables....But then he did. Jason led Erin to another table, on the opposite side of the room. "How about over here? Where it's safe?"

[...]

Sarai blushed beet red as Musashi praised her and Connor hugged her. She still wasn't used to such positive actions...She was convinced her the world hated her only a couple of weeks ago. The girl gave a little smile, looking down at her feet. "T-Thank you" she mumbled.

“Having several guards will only attract attention in New Vegas.” Nanami pointed out as she looked over towards Kanna. “It’s best to take a small, but well-skilled group. We want to blend in with a crowd, not stand out. That’s the best way to stay safe there.”

New Vegas was a town where the House always won, because House could always outdo anyone else. If you had a handgun, House had a machinegun. If you had a machinegun, House had grenade launchers. If you had ten men, House had twenty.

House also has robots.


Rica shook his head to Melanie. “You can die. Don’t forget that Pylons can negate our abilities… luckily there aren’t any pylons in New Vegas. Still, I try not to put too much stress on my body… the worst the injuries, the slower the healing will be.”

He leaned over to Melanie. “Do not think you’re unstoppable, Melanie. I’ve never looked at myself that way… it makes you careless if you do.”

[…]

Connor smiled to Sarai, hoping that this lesson would help her self esteem. He wanted Sarai to learn to see herself the way Connor saw her.

“Come on, why don’t we go relax for a little while? I’ll teach you some more stuff later.” Connor suggested.

“You can't die, but that doesn't make you invincible, just as Rica said.”

Samuel showed up now, taking a seat next to Galv, “I should know as well. I can't even get hurt, but I'm not unstoppable. You can still be captured, taken prisoner...And I doubt coming back from something like an explosion will be as simple as a single bullet wound...”

Galv frowned a little. He didn't want to think about Melanie being taken captive... He'd do whatever he could to save her...

“Melanie and Galv will stay either at Camp McCarren or their Embassy on the Strip. If they need to go out, we'll make sure they have a few guards,” Old Man Sensei said, “Enough to help protect them.”

“I don't need any help to protect Melanie,” Galv said, “I'll electrocute anyone who tries anything...”

“The point of going there is to help bolster relationships and help people and the NCR think they should back us up, Galv,” Samuel said, “You can't go around doing that to anyone you think is a threat...”

“If they need guards, perhaps some others around their age?” Ethan spoke up now, “It'll be less obvious. I'm sure my daughter would be willing to lend a hand in that regard, she's about their age as well.”

“That could work,” Old Man Sensei nodded, “I will leave these details to Nanami, however, it is her mission. Though...Nanami, may I speak to you privately for a moment? I need to go over a few things with you...”



Erin sat down, smiling a little to Jason.

“This table is fine...” she said, “Just...sit next to me, okay?”

“… Yes, some of the teenage rebels could make for good guards. Then it just looks like a group of teenagers walking around, instead of actual guards protecting something.” Rica said, nodding his head.

He was a bit worried about all of this… Melanie seemed to believe that there was no downside to her powers… and Rica knew all too well how wrong she was.


Nanami, meanwhile, looked over to OMS. “… Alright.”

She was still in a very bad mood.

“Yah, that could work...” Samuel nodded in agreement. He sighed a little, making a mental note to talk with Rica later, about Galv and Melanie. Rica and Samuel both had an ability that could be considered 'unstoppable' by someone who didn't give it too much thought. But they both knew what was really the case...

And besides, just because Melanie could heal, didn't mean Galv would keep a cool head and not get himself in danger trying to rescue or avenge her...



Old Man Sensei now took Nanami off to the side.

“The NCR are our allies,” Old Man Sensei said, “Many of them are kind hearted people, and simply want what's best for others. But many of them want to expand the NCR even further. Many with power will want to push past Hoover Dam. Many will want to take Panem in exchange for helping us defeat the Enclave...

“You need to keep an eye out for that. You need to be alert. I doubt the NCR will try anything while in New Vegas, or even during the initial attacks on the Enclave...it will be later, when it looks like we'll win...”

Of course, if it looked like they would lose...He didn't have to say what would happen then.

“Then I guess it’s settled. We’re off to New Vegas.” Rica chuckled. While he was worried about Melanie – and Galv as well – he was also a drunken, perverted bastard.

And even in the post-apocalyptic future, Las Vegas is the go-to place for drunk, perverted bastards.

GS’ hometown, everyone!




Nanami frowned. She had spent most of her life more concerned with the domination of the Enclave (and her obsessive desire to murder Gallic)… but Old Man Sensei had a very good point.

The NCR thought they were the second-coming of the United States, a nation that had existed in Panem prior to the solar flare. Of course, the Enclave had said the same thing long ago…

“… I get what you’re saying. We need the NCR to defeat the Enclave, but if we’re not careful, the NCR will just replace them.”

Nanami clenched her fist.

“I won’t let that happen.”

Melanie looked up at Rica and Samuel as they explained that it was still very possible that she could die...Her powers could only take her so far...She would have to be careful.

Of course heading to New Vegas probably wasn't the most careful move, but she trusted the adults...Kinda...

"I'll be right back" Kanna then interrupted, getting up and leaving her daughter with the others. She at least trusted Rica to watch the girl for a few minutes while she talked to her son.

[...]

"Of course" Jason said, taking a seat beside the girl and watching her carefully. Erin seemed to be healthy, but a good hearty meal wouldn't hurt. Just as he was about to dig into his own meal he noticed Kanna coming over.

"What's wrong?" he asked, raising a brow at Kanna.

"We're heading out. I assume you would like to come"

Jason frowned "Where?"

"New Vegas. That old guy thinks Melanie will be able to do some good there or something" Kanna replied, motioning back to Old Man Sensei.

[...]


“Come on, why don’t we go relax for a little while? I’ll teach you some more stuff later.”


Sarai gave a small nod, moving over to a small sink and washing Musashi's blood off of her hands before turning back to Connor. She carefully took his hand and headed back in the hallway. "I......I'm g-glad you d-don't want r-revenge anymore..." she said, feeling the need to continue. "But I...I would still...Ummm...Love you e-even if you did...Do....Well....K-Kill...."

Connor smiled to Sarai, as she mentioned how she felt about his decision to forget revenge. Connor flinched.

He wasn’t sure he had made the right choice. Whenever he thought of Autumn, his blood boiled and he wanted nothing more than to rededicate himself to vengeance… but as his eyes fell on Sarai and her small smile, he knew he could not.

“… I’m glad, Sarai… I don’t ever want to lose you… but I don’t need revenge.”

He shook his head. “I just… I want to help, and make sure no one else ends up like me.”
