[New Vegas Desert]

Rica and Samuel trekked on, making the best progress they could. Soon, they would find red banners in the distance. There was a small NCR Outpost, but it was not flying the NCR’s flag.

Instead it was flying Caesar’s flag…

[The Tops]

Connor froze as Gem replied that she had been targeting Autumn. His whole body went cold, and he was silent for several minutes.

“… Autumn murdered my parents.” Connor whispered quietly as he continued healing Gem. “… what do you mean, you want me to take him out?”

Connor didn’t trust Castor, but if there was a chance of killing Autumn…

[Gomorrah]

Had Kanna not urged him on, and had Ethan simply walked away… things might have gone very differently. When Ethan cleaned the table out, though, it was basically sealing the fact that the Omertas would want “words” with him.

Pretty much the moment the door closed behind them, four Omertas emerged from the hallway and walked to the door of their room. They were all holding SMG’s.

The lead Omerta kicked in the door and the four of them rushed into the room. They aimed their guns at Ethan and Kanna, and three of them were silent.

“Hey there Lucky. Our boss wants to have words with ya.”

-The Ultra-Luxe-

Galv's face was now as red as his hair. Even he hadn't been entirely sure what he meant when he asked if Melanie needed 'help' but now here he was.

“Umm...yah...he was...” Galv answered, attempting to not look at Melanie right now, still not trusting himself.

At least Melanie hadn't come to the conclusion Galv wanted to be in the bath with him. He'd have fainted then and there.

“So...do you need ice baths...often?” Galv asked. He usually took quick, hot showers himself. He didn't spark in water, but he did still tend to have a dislike of staying in water for long periods of time.

-The Strip: Bar-

“You're twenty-two...I'm twenty-one..We're not that young...” Erin said, and helped herself to another shot, giggling, “Be...before the Games...I always wanted to get married...”

Erin smiled a bit though, snuggling close to Jason, “Besides...you don't plan on leaving me, are you...?”

Tread very carefully Jason.

-Gomorrah-

Ethan sighed, his jacket off as the Omertas stored the room, looking merely annoyed, despite the guns aimed at him and Kanna.

“You really know how to spoil a mood,” Ethan said bluntly. He briefly considered just killing the three in front of him...but while he wasn't worried if he got shot, if Kanna was...

Besides, best to let them know about his strength when it would do the most good. Always keep an ace in the hole.

“And your boss does? Is he aware that is civilization, and not a backwards society of neo-savages who grunt and point?” Ethan asked, “All he has to do is ask.”

He turned his head to Kanna, “It seems like the owner would like to talk. Be a shame to keep him waiting.”

-The Tops-

“Ummm...parents told me before,” Edda answered quickly, waving a hand idly, “And I've always been interested in politics. A lot of stuff happening in Panem right now was going to affect me sooner or later.”

He shrugged a bit, hoping that would be a suitable explanation.

Gomorrah

Kanna hadn't even had a chance to unzip her dress when several men barged in with guns. Kanna raised a brow, looking to Ethan and then back to the men. "Sorry darlings, but haven't you ever heard of waiting your turn? I'm using him first. I'll let you know when i'm done" she told them.

The Tops

"We know" Castor said with a knowing smile "What better person to take him out than the boy who managed to escape despite loosing his parents in the Games? You have the motivation that many of of men did not posses. And we have the means to get you to him"

"C-Connor isn't killing anyone" Sarai pipped up, looking bothered "He already decided"

Gem smiled at Sarai "Maybe he needs to think about it again....Situations change, and now he is in the proper one to take the man down....With limited risk."

The Ultra-Luxe

Melanie nodded, ducking her head under the water for a moment before coming back up. By this point she was pretty much covered in goosebumps but she was smiling...Of course this also made it pretty obvious that her lips were turning blue.

"Sometimes...Mostly if I stay outside too long. My body can't cool itself back down to the temperature i'm used to and if I stay high too long my mom says i'll have a heat stroke. Though she may just be trying to scare me....But either way, I feel better in this tub than I did outside in the heat. It's really quite nice, stick your hand it. It's not bad."

The Strip: Bar

"W-What? Me leave? Of course not, never!" Jason exclaimed, "though maybe we should move past all this marriage talk...."

Yeah, and on to BABIES.

All the while Jason was starting to resent that he was such a proper gentlemen....The creep was starting to appear.

Pretty girl....Drunk pretty girl. NO BE A GENTLEMAN.

[Gomorrah]

From behind the four men, a fifth walked into the room. He wore the same pinstripe suit as all Omertas, a fedora and tortoiseshell glasses. He smirked as he approached, looking to Ethan and Kanna.

“… My name is Burke. I run the Gomorrah… and the Omertas.” Mister Burke looked to them… and for some reason, he immediately disliked them.

“You cheated my tables.” He said, looking to Ethan. “What makes you think that you can cheat the Omertas and keep your limbs?”

[The Tops]

Connor frowned. He had decided not to take his revenge on Autumn… but now these strange people were offering him another chance.

“… What do you mean limited risk?” Connor asked, as he kept his face focused on Gem’s arm and the healing.

-New Vegas Desert-

“Well that might be what we're looking for...” Samuel said as he saw the Legion colors flying over the now former NCR base. He scowled, then glanced to Rica.

“Why don't you try sneaking around, and I'll just go in headfirst and cause a ruckus. I was never very good at stealth, myself,” Samuel suggested.

-Gomorrah-

“Cheated?” Ethan said, feigning ignorance, “I didn't cheat. The idiots at the table simply thought themselves good players. I merely rectified their thinking.”

Ethan did not like Burke either.

“How did I lose you money? I won it from other players,” Ethan said, “And I was planning on spending much of it back here into your casino. Honestly, did it look like I was planning to leave here anytime soon? If I wanted to rob you I'd have cashed my chips and walked outside where the Securitrons would have prevented you from attacking me.”

Ethan smiled faintly. He preferred to fight with words before he had to fight with his muscles. “I'm sure we can come to some kind of agreement, however. I'd hate for your room here to get stained from a simple misunderstanding.”

Yah, stained with blood. And organs.

-The Tops-

Edda frowned a little. Whoever this Castor was, they seemed to really want Autumn dead...

“So why do you want Autumn dead?” Edda asked, “Sure, it might destabilize Panem a little...But wouldn't Gallic just seize his power then?”

-The Ultra-Luxe-

“Oh...” Galv said, “I've never had any trouble with heat...My body temperature is higher then most people's, and I'm fine. Usually around 100, I think...”

All that electricity sparking in him.

He paused, moving cautiously towards the tub, then sat down on the edge, looking down towards Melanie.

“Your...lips...they're blue...are you sure you should stay in there that long?” Galv asked, getting worried now.

-The Strip: Bar-

“Mmm...I guess the wedding can wait...” Erin said quietly, snuggling close to Jason still, “We can have it later, with our family there.”

I'm sure Walter will be thrilled.

“What about kids...?” Erin suddenly asked, “I want a baby...A pretty girl...or a boy. Or both!”

Gomorrah

Kanna frowned when Burke walked into the room, for some reason really not liking this man...She was already plotting to stab him with something in the room...Maybe a broken wine bottle.

But for the moment she suppressed the urge to be violent and stood back up, ignoring the fact that guns were still pointed at her.

"No one needs to lose their limbs...." She said, shaking her head. "I'm sure we can settle our differences a different way"

The Tops

"Well a job like this has substantial risks." Gem stated, watching as her arm was now going from grey to a purplish blue...It really was working...

"Death is the least of your worries when fighting them." Castor agreed "Gallic is known more for torture than murder....So is Autumn. Ask your little girlfriend. She knows i'm sure."

"We have our reasons" Castor answered Edda "Please forgive me if I do not wish to reveal them all right away...Though killing him...And Gallic would be good for more than Panem. We are doing a service to the world by offing those horrible men....Connor would be doing a service to the world.

The Strip: Bar

Jason sobered up reeeeeeeal fast when Erin mentioned babies.

"W-WOAAAAH a family?! KIDS?!" he exclaimed, leaning against the booth in order to get some space between the two.

The Ultra-Luxe

Melanie blinked, looking up at Galv when he sat down beside the tub...She noticed he was now actively watching her. "T-They are?" she asked with a shiver, bringing up her hand and staring at her fingertips which were now blue as well. She debated getting out silently. "I-I'm okay. My body just isn't good at finding a medium....It doesn't hurt though....But it's probably not that good either."

Lest Melanie's fingers fall off.

[New Vegas Desert]

Rica shrugged his shoulders.

“I’d be more for stealth… but I know what the Legion does to women. If Melanie is in there… I’m not wasting any time on stealth.”

He drew his gun. “Let’s just get in there and kill them all.”

[Gomorrah]

Burke gave a small smirk and took a handkerchief from his jacket. He took off his glasses and wiped the smudges away, and then put them back on.

“… I don’t think you quite get how the Gomorrah works, pal. I don’t mind if you want to win. Hell, I don’t even mind if you want to cheat within reason… but when you wipe out a table like that…”

He shook his head. “That’s going too far. That much in winnings… even if you spent the week here, you’d leave with more than you’d put back into my fine establishment. I don’t like people leaving with MY caps.”

Burke’s eyes seemed to flash with light for a moment. “You see… the moment you walk into the Gomorrah, all of your caps are belong to me. You seem to think you can leave with more than you came with.”

[The Tops]

“… Autumn is a terrible man. It’s true that getting rid of him would be a good thing for Panem…”

And it would mean revenge… Connor had sworn it off, but the temptation was there…

“… How would it even work?” Connor asked. “Autumn has the entire army at his command.”

-Gomorrah-

Ethan sighed, shaking his head at Burke.

“So what, you're going to try and shoot me?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow, “So crass, Mister...Burke, was it?”

Ethan took a careful step forward, “I'm going to give you a simple offer. You let me and my companion here walk out of your casino, with the caps I won... Or you can see just how I got that Legion money to get them in the first place.”

-New Vegas Desert-

“They might try to kill any prisoners that they have if they think we're going to win,” Samuel said, “That sounds like something they might do. I can stall them while you check. If they're there...you can get them out. I can handle things. If they're not...well we'll take them down, take a couple prisoners, and have our...inquiries...”

-The Tops-

Edda nodded. He couldn't fault the reasoning. Autumn was clearly a mad man, and Gallic...

Well, Edda had never actually met Gallic. Most of the evil attributed to Gallic was in things that he didn't stop, like the Games. Still, one didn't become the President of Panem without a few skeletons in their closest.

-The Strip: Bar-

“Yah...” Erin said, not noticing Jason was panicking, merely moving closer to him as he pressed against the wall, smiling, “Don't you want kids too? I thought you wanted to stay with me...”

-The Ultra-Luxe-

Galv frowned, growing worried now.

“Come on, you should get out of there,” Galv said, getting himself up and grabbing Melanie by the shoulders, suppressing a momentary shiver. The girl was so cold...That couldn't be good.

He pulled her out of the ice water, pulling her towards him and into a hug.

“You're way too cold...” Galv said quietly, “You weren't this cold other times...”

The Ultra-Luxe

Melanie gave a little squeak as Galv pulled her out of the tub and into his arms. She was suddenly enveloped in warmth once more, but this time it wasn't so drastic...She leaned against her boyfriend, letting him try to bring her temperature back to normal.

“You weren't this cold other times...”

"Don't worry, i'm okay...Nothing will happen to me" she mumbled, noticing she was getting the boy all wet. "S-Sorry....Your clothes"

The Tops

"We would get you to the Capitol....That much I can do with no problem" Castor said with a smile "I have a passport to move freely throughout the world and into Panem. Very few people are afforded this luxury...But i'm sure I can get you one as well under a false name. Once back in Panem you will accompany me as a guest right into the lion's den....Once there finding Gallic is up to you. Even I am not granted an audience with him and those people LOVE me!"

Gem gave a little gasp suddenly, looking down at her arm....Her fingers were twitching slightly, and her skin was turning milky white like before.

The Strip: Bar

"I-I dunno y-yet....I'm still p-pretty focused on taking care of Melanie...I-I don't have time for k-kids"

Jason was nervous....And cornered....

[Gomorrah]

Burke scoffed. He pulled some lint from his suit and looked down at it in his fingers, as if he was more interested in his appearance than Kanna and Ethan.

“… No. I’ll make you an offer. You can give me every last cap you’ve got on you, and I’ll let you walk out of this casino alive.” Burke looked up to Ethan and he suddenly smirked.

“This is New Vegas. Everyone in this city wants power and authority. Very few people ever attain it. Fewer still get to keep it. I’ve run the Omertas and the Gomorrah for nearly a decade. You think I could keep that authority without being able to squash pathetic bugs like you?”

Burke chuckled. Then his eyes moved to Kanna.

“… Tell you what. Give me back three fourths of the caps, and give me the woman, and I’ll let you live.”

[New Vegas Desert]

Rica sighed. Samuel had a good point. He nodded.

“Fine. I’ll do some recon. You stall them.”

[The Tops]

Connor frowned. He continued to heal Gem’s arm, but he turned his head to look towards Sarai and Chloe.

“… What do you think?” He asked.

-The Ultra-Luxe-

“It's okay...” Galv said, sighing softly, hugging Melanie closer, closing his eyes as he felt himself warm up instinctively to Melanie, trying to warm her more as well.

He just held her for a couple minutes, thinking of how nice it would be to just run off with Melanie. Go off somewhere...get married...start a family. Just them. No more Panem. No more Enclave. No more Rebellion...

But it seemed so many people were counting on them. They had a chance to really help others...even if they had run off now, but Galv told himself it was just a mini vacation, to prove they couldn't just be paraded around...

He couldn't just away from his dad...from the others in the Games. He couldn't just let all that go on.

But it felt nice to think about it, if only for a bit.

“We should...probably get ourselves cleaned up before Russel gets back...” Galv said after a moment, stepping away from Melanie, “Ummm...You go ahead and go first. I'll wait until you're done.”

Galv paused, then gave Melanie a kiss, before heading back for the bathroom door.

-The Strip: Bar-

“Melanie's practically an adult...” Erin said.

She's 16, Erin.

“And she has that other guy...Galv...to take care of her now...” Erin added.

He's 17, Erin.

“I thought...you said you wanted to stay with me, though...” Erin sniffed slightly.

-New Vegas Desert-

Samuel nodded, then started for the Legion camp, hands in his pockets, not bothering to keep himself hidden.

A shot rang out, hitting the ground by him. Samuel cocked his head to the side, seeing a Legion soldier level his gun at him.

“Halt, outsider!” the soldier shouted, “What are you doing here?”

Samuel paused, then gave the man a wild grin, stepping towards him.

“I said halt!” the soldier shouted again, aiming for Samuel's heart.

Samuel kept going. There was a shot, and Samuel 'oofed' slightly, frowning as he looked down at the hole in his shirt. The bullet fell to the ground, where Samuel picked it up, inspecting the flattened surface. The Legion soldier's eyes widened beneath his helmet, Samuel flicking the bullet forward and pinging it off the man's helmet.

There was a strangled shout a couple moments later, after the sound of a scuffle, and Samuel continued into the camp, blood on his hands now...

-Gomorrah-

Ethan laughed, shaking his head, “You could give me all the caps in your casino and the answer would still be no. She is not for sale.”

Ethan then sighed, bouncing a bit on the balls of his feet. Even people who knew of his power tended to be surprised by a secondary aspect of it. He was very quick on his feet. Not super speed fast, but certainly faster then normal. They sometimes could bank of stopping his force output...but they hardly ever figured out how fast he was coming at them.

The short man then shot forward, grabbing the guns of two of the thugs, pushing and sending the two thugs backwards into the wall with a loud thud, fingers working and twisting the metal of the barrels, where he then dropped the wrecked guns to the ground, still smiling at Burke.

“We walk out, I keep the caps, and you don't see what happened to these weapons happen to your spine,” Ethan said, almost jovially.

[Legion Camp]

As Samuel started to make a commotion, Rica headed the opposite way. The Camp was on a hill, so Rica crept his way to the far side and slipped into the back of the camp. He saw several Legionnaires rushing towards the front of the camp with rifles and machetes in their hands.

Rica saw a nearby cage sitting outside. There was a group of people inside, all of them dressed in rags. Rica quickly looked around… but saw no one who resembled Galv or Melanie.

He was relieved… but only slightly. There could be other cages, and all of the people in this one looked to be adults in their thirties and forties. No one around Melanie’s age.

[…]

A large group of Legionnaires rushed towards Samuel, most of them carrying spears and machetes!

[Gomorrah]

Burke watched as Ethan quickly took down two of his thugs. The other two raised their guns, but Burke held up his hand and they stopped. Burke stepped forward, grinning towards Ethan.

“… Big deal. Do you have any idea how many Omertas are in this building?” Burke chuckled. His eyes flashed dangerously, and Ethan might have felt a slight pressure all over his body.

“… Not to mention you’d have to deal with me.”

I can't see what you're imagining
-Legion Camp-

A machete came flying down towards Samuel's shoulder, Samuel grabbing it as it came down, pushing forward and sending the Legionnaire stumbling backwards. Another came with a spear, stabbing towards Samuel.

Samuel grabbed the end, the point stabbing at him, merely cutting his clothes. He wrenched the spear from the shocked soldier's grasp, swinging the end upwards with a loud crack, breaking the man's jaw and sending him to the ground.

He spun the spear, and then thrust it towards a third Legionnaire, stabbing at the man's neck with a short spray of blood, before pulling it out, spinning it around.

The first man, the one with the machete, had recovered and charged again. Samuel spun the spear, using the blunt end to knock the wind out of the man, before following through with a knee to man's groin, sending him to the ground in agony.

A shot rain out, and Samuel was shot backwards, landing on the ground from the kinetic force of a shotgun hitting his chest. He picked himself back up, the front of his shirt now in tatters, hefting the saber and throwing.

The saber missed, but Samuel had charged forward as well, taking another shot to the chest, grunting as he powered through, slowing down but tackled the man, removing his helmet as they tussled, simply ignoring the hands trying to choke him.

A crack, and the man was silent.

Samuel picked himself back up, staring towards the other Legionnaires.

“Who's next?” Samuel asked, removing his now tattered shirt, letting it fall to the ground. He had no wounds, no bruises, despite his melee...



As Rica snuck around, there were still some guards keeping an eye on the slaves. But one was moving closer to where Rica was...

-Gomorrah-

Ethan frowned, feeling the pressure on his body. A telekinetic...that could be troublesome.

He could have avoided all this if he had just said no to Kanna...But...well, he couldn't say no to her.

“Alright then...We play this out. I go on a rampage. Maybe you kill me. Maybe you don't. I end up wrecking your place regardless. House investigates. Perfect excuse to have his flunkies backed by Securitrons come in and poke around. Of course, I'm sure you're not doing anything illegal, nothing that House would disprove of. I doubt he'd even care that you killed me. But it'd be a great excuse for a closer look...wouldn't it?” Ethan asked, shrugging, “Oh sure, maybe you could bribe your way out, but how much would that cost? More then the caps I won, certainly.”

“… Tell you what. Give me back three fourths of the caps, and give me the woman, and I’ll let you live.”

Kanna frowned, glaring at Burke....She really didn't like this man right now. She was ready to cut him. A lot.

Luckily Ethan was having nothing of it...The man moved forward, attacking Burke's men. Instantly Kanna moved back, bringing her hands in front of her in case she needed to protect herself...They went black and she kept her eyes on the men.

The Strip: Bar

"Sixteen is hardly adult...." Jason muttered, not wanting to think too hard about his baby sister doing adult things.... "And I do want to be with you...But I have other things to do as well....Priorities you know....Surely you have those too...."

Erin's priority is YOU. That's all.

The Tops

"I say go for it miho...When is the next time you're going to get an opportunity like this?" Chloe said, leaning back in her chair and looking to the boy.

Sarai was silent....But she was frowning. She didn't like this at all. She thought Connor had agreed not to take the revenge route. Sarai crossed her arms over her chest and watched the boy...

The Ultra-Luxe

Melanie nodded, kissing Galv and watching him disappear for a moment...She shivered a bit, away from his touch...Quickly she moved to grab a towel and wrap it around her.

Melanie was starting to realize jumping in a cold tub of water was a bit dumb. Hopefully she would have some new clothes soon...

Erin frowned, then moved away from Jason, beginning to tear up.

“Oh...okay...I guess I'm not a high priority for you...that's okay...” Erin said, helping herself to another shot of alcohol.

She looked like she was going to start crying.

-The Tops-

“I think it would be better to help with the Rebellion...” Edda spoke up, “Instead of something like this...Too many unknowns.”

-The Ultra-Luxe-

After a few minutes Russel returned, a woman in her thirties following him, carrying two sets of clothes in plastic coverings. The woman looked rather atypical, with brown hair and brown eyes.

“Alright kid, got you a suit,” Russel answered. The woman smiled at Galv, handing him one of the plastic coverings, then headed to the bathroom.

She knocked on the door.

“Melanie dear, may I come in? I have some new clothes for you,” she called out.
