“Big MT?” Nanami’s eyes widened as she heard Old Man Sensei speak up. She was in a bad mood from her confrontation with Tandi, but this suddenly brought a very different expression to Nanami’s face. An expression that was extremely rare for Nanami.

Fear.

“I’ve heard a lot of stories about Big MT,” Nanami said quietly. “They all have a couple of things in common… no one who goes there ever comes back.”

She sighed. She had just helped topple two world leader’s, had argued with a third and was actively trying to murder the fourth… yet the idea of venturing into Big MT made her uneasy.

“According to the stories, Big MT was home to the world’s most important and dangerous scientific research before the Flare. Whatever is there could easily turn the tides on the Enclave… we could find weapons better than anything Gallic or Autumn have access too…” Nanami frowned. “… which means if they beat us there… then the NCR’s support won’t mean anything…”

[Library]

Connor looked up at Jade with hatred in his eyes. He could not explain that he was working with Gallic to try to kill her boss. That would just get him, and Sarai, killed. Luckily there was a more obvious answer… but he didn’t know if he could survive this anyway.

“… I’m looking for my family. Is that so wrong?” Connor asked.

Then he looked up and he saw Sarai. He tried not to let surprise show on his face, but it was difficult. Jade was standing right there… if she saw Sarai then…

[Flashback]

Rica was getting very confused by Kanna’s actions… but he supposed they were understandable. The two of them had really hit it off, but the simple fact remained that Rica had been in the Games with Kain.

Kain…

“… You have other reasons to hate me.” Rica said quietly as he closed his eyes. “… I don’t know if you watched the Games or not… but…”

Rica had a feeling he really should not say this. If Kanna did already know, he was just pointing out the elephant in the room… and if she didn’t know, then that might be even worse.

“… I knew him.” Rica said so quietly it was practically a whisper. “… We had an alliance… me and Kain…”

Ohhhhhhhh snap.

"A grenade?" Melanie said, never thinking her own blasts could be quite that powerful.

“...though maybe it might not be best to try exploding things while indoors...”

Melanie gave a little laugh and a nod. "Maybe we can make a little one..Like a delayed reaction blast."

She motioned to the lights.

[...]

Kanna raised a brow. "You're a strangely persistent man you know that?" she asked.

It wasn't a bad thing, though it was often annoying at the moment. She liked that in a man.

"Perhaps i'll try. But not right now" she added quickly, continuing to eat "More vodka please"

Panem Border

"Catch me?" Chloe said with a laugh, having a hard time imagining the boy catching her from such a long distance. She gave a slight shug and then backed up, before making a run and jump for it.

Please catch her or she'll kill you Edda.

Library

Jade shook her head "Your family is dead, no use in looking them up darling-AH"

Sarai was particularly good at being silent, she had years of experience at it so she was able to sneak up behind Jade with little problem. The girl took a break, and then forced the knife in her back.

Sarai was suddenly very proud of herself. This was probably the bravest thing she had done since the first Peacekeeper she had killed (weird thing to be proud of actually). Unfortunately the girl didn't get to enjoy her moment to long because the next thing she knew she was one the ground with an enraged (and bleeding) Jade on top of her. Sarai didn't expect the other girl to be quite so quick on her feet with a knife in her, but apparently Jade was REALLY tough.

"I'LL KILL YOU" Jade growled, obviously in pain but still more than willing to kill the Avox underneath her. She grabbed at Sarai's neck and dug her sharp nails in.

Flashback

Kanna was quiet as Rica spoke, the woman tried not to watch too much of the Games, mostly for the fact that she couldn't bare her small son accidentally catching sight of his violent death. The idea that Kain had anyone in the Game was reassuring...But also troubling...Since that meant Rica didn't live up to his alliance.

"Why did you let him die?" she mumbled, glaring back up at him.

-Camp McCarren-

“Precisely,” Old Man Sensei said over the radio. “Which is why I need you, Cess, and Lavan to go there. It will be dangerous. High risk, high reward... but it's something we can't afford to lose.”

Cess sighed, nodding, “Sounds like it'll be fun... When do we leave?”

“In a few days, I believe, once we finalize a few things,” Old Man Sensei answered.



“Maybe...” Galv said, looking up at the lights, “I bet we could be really strong once we learned to use our powers together...”

He smiled brightly at Melanie, taking her hand, “Alright... Try making another ball of shadows, a small one... We'll spark it towards the light...”

And hopefully not cause some kind of chain reaction.



“Whenever you feel comfortable,” Ethan said with a smile, handing her the vodka again, “I'm glad you enjoy the meal, as well.”

He sidled a little closer to the woman, “So how have you been holding up?”

-Panem Border-

Edda held up his arms as Chloe jumped. As she came down, Edda moved, catching the girl as she fell, stumbling a little, but managed to keep on his feet.

“Told you I'd catch you,” Edda smirked.

Nanami nodded slowly. She did not like the idea of going to Big MT… but it was important. Far too important to let Autumn or Gallic beat them there.

“We’ll be ready.” Nanami promised Old Man Sensei.

[Library]

Connor gasped as he saw Sarai stab Jade. It was odd to see a girl who was so shy and so caring do something violent. It went against everything he knew about Sarai… but he was really glad she was doing it, because the moment Jade was stabbed her hold on Connor’s blood was broken and he could move his arm again.

Of course, his arm was in a lot of pain. Being bent at angles arms aren’t supposed to go is never a good thing. Still, when he saw Jade knock Sarai to the ground and started attacking her, Connor did not waste a second.

He rushed forward and threw his arms around Jade, trying to pull her away from Sarai!

[Flashback]

“I didn’t let him die.” Rica said, shaking his head. “We were out of food and water. We were both starving. We knew where another Tribute was hiding, and we knew he had food.”

Rica’s face fell as he remembered the Games. It really was the worst experience of his life.

“… The plan was for Kain to lure the Tribute out of where he was hiding, and while the enemy was chasing him, I’d sneak in and steal the food and supplies. It worked, at first… but Kain tripped and fell. The Tribute caught him and they fought. I heard the shouts and came running, but by the time I got there…”

Rica shook his head. “Kain had been stabbed. He was bleeding out. All I could do was slit the other Tribute’s throat.”

Taking a deep breath, Rica simply crossed his arms and leaned against the counter. “I won’t sit here and say we were friends. We weren’t. We both knew we’d have to kill each other if we ended up making it to the last two… but he seemed like an alright guy. I was sad to see him go that way.”

The man sighed once more. “… Never mentioned he had a family. Can’t say I blame him. When you’re in the Games, all you do is think about what you have to live for… but you don’t want to tell anyone else about it.”

Melanie nodded, looking towards the light and closing her eyes. She tried to think about all the times she had accidently blown out lights at her own house...It was a lot easier to do it when it was an accident-

Suddenly a pop! The light above then exploded, showering glass on their heads. Then another pop, and another and another.

Apparently it did cause a chain reaction!

[...]

"Better than expected" Kanna decided with a shrug, looking over to the man "Nothing that a nice glass of wine can't solve"

In all truth Kanna had been very stressed. She was extremely worried about her daughter's future, even though she was safe from the games.

"I'm just glad Melanie is safe now...If I can just keep her that way"

Suddenly the lights in the kitchen shattered, Kanna bowing her head as glass showered down. She gave a loud groan. "That girl...."

Panem Border

Chloe closed her eyes as she jumped, only opening them when she felt Edda grab her. She gave a little breath and a chuckle. "You know, for a normal guy you're pretty strong"

They'd have to be quick if they were going to scout...The gate could come on at any time.

Library

It was two against one AND Jade had a knife in her back. But she didn't seem out for the count. She tightened her grip on Sarai's throat and tried to shrug off the boy.

"Get off of me or i'll kill her!" Jade roared. "I'll stop the blood in her veins!"

From underneath the two, Sarai was suffocating. She attempted to kick off the girl while also trying to gasp for air. Eventually between her actions and Connor they managed to get the girl off, but they were still in a bad situation.

Flashback

Kanna went quiet, listening to how Kain's death played out.... She wasn't sure she wanted to imagine what happened...

"He shouldn't even have been in the games....He had a son...We were stupid and had Jason young but we never thought Kain would be thrown into this." she mumbled "He was pretty much aged out..Only another year."

Kanna groaned, looking away "Why am I telling you this...

[Library]

When Jade was pulled away from Sarai, Connor immediately pounced on the girl. He jumped away from her and ran around to the side of the shelf – and tackled it. Connor knocked the heavy bookshelf forward, right at Jade! He doubted it would kill her, but hopefully it would give them time to escape.

“RUN SARAI!” Connor yelled at the girl.

[Flashback]

Rica walked over to Kanna and put his hands on her shoulders.

“I’m sorry.” He said simply, his voice low. “… It would have been better if Kain won instead of me. He had something to come back to…”

Library

The book shelf crashed down on Jade, gathering a lot of attention. Soon other Peacekeepers would be called from concerned citizens and Connor and Sarai would be in A LOT of trouble.

Sarai was stunned and still trying to gasp for air, but she did what Connor told her to. She ran towards the door, pushing past an angry librarian and some passerby. Once outside she was terribly disoriented and had no clue which was to go.

"You! STOP!"

And there were the other Peacekeepers. Luckily they weren't all bloodbendy like Jade.

Instantly Sarai bolted like a stray cat.

Flashback

Kanna looked down for a couple of moments, the room plunged into a very awkward silence between the two. She was now feeling guilty about being here...But she couldn't stop herself from being attracted to him.

"This is confusing..." she decided, going back over to his foul tasting liquor and taking a long swig. She wanted to be nice and intoxicated for whatever bad decisions she'd be making tonight.

“Keep running!” Connor yelled to Sarai. They were hurrying for the front door of the library, and Connor made sure to pull the knife from his belt as they ran. He had no clue how long a bookshelf would keep Jade pinned, but he was pretty sure it wouldn’t be nearly long enough.

[Flashback]

Rica sighed, leaning against the counter again. Things were a little awkward. The attractive waitress he had planned on getting froggy with was actually the wife of his dead friend from the games. That was awkward. Wasn’t there a rule about sleeping with the wife of a dead friend?

… Well, Rica’s a horrible person anyway.

“Good luck, Nanami, Lavan, and Cess...” Old Man Sensei said, then signed off, the radio going silent.

“Well, I think we should make sure we have some supplies, and rest up,” Cess suggested to the other two.



“Oops...” Galv said, as the room became dark, looking around. He moved a little closer to Melanie, unable to see in the dark.

“Ummm... maybe they won't find out?” Galv asked.



Ethan smirked as the lights went out, shaking his head.

“I'm sure it'll get fixed soon... in the mean time...” Ethan smiled, putting his arm around Kanna's shoulders, “Perhaps we should go look for them?”

Or find a nice private place for themselves.

-Panem Border-

Edda chuckled, “Well it pays to be in shape if you live in the wastes... I don't any strength like you, but I can hold my own.”

He smiled, turning and heading into the woods... and was still carrying Chloe.

Connor was right, while the book shelf had brought Jade down it was only a matter of time before Jade blasted the shelf back with a massive gust of air...She was then after them once again, despite a massive wound in her back.

She wasn't Autum's best for nothing.

Meanwhile Sarai turned quickly when Connor yelled for her to keep moving. The girl didn't know where she was going-just AWAY. Of course she was still trying to catch her breath....Sarai quickly made a turn down a street, slamming into a man without even realizing it.

"Hey! What's your hu-" The man paused and blinked looking down at the strange girl. Instantly he gave a gasp, recognizing her. Before Sarai even knew what was happening she was being lifted up and tossed over the man's shoulder!

Oh noes!

Panem Border

Edda headed out, scouting the area- while still holding Chloe tightly. She couldn't help but to give a slight blush, she had never had a guy act quite so chivalrous with her.

She kinda liked it, but it was still weird.

"You know, I have legs. You don't have to carry me" she joked.

Camp McCarren

“Ummm... maybe they won't find out?”

"MELANIE ROSETTE NARROH"

Melanie shuddered, knowing Jason was angry. "We're not that lucky I guess" she said with a small worried smile.

Instantly Jason walked in (Erin probably in tow). His hand was up and glowing. "What are you guys doing?!"

[...]

Kanna groaned, getting her eyes used to the sudden change. She then paused as Ethan placed his arm around her shoulder. She felt her cheeks heating up.

“Perhaps we should go look for them?”

"I suppose" she said, standing up


Flashback

Kanna looked back to Rica, feeling a bit braver with some liquid courage inside of her. She silently took a few steps towards him, before leaning up and kissing him again.

Suddenly there was a loud cry, Kanna moving back and turning quickly back down the hallway and towards Jason.

It's like the universe is telling Rica DON'T SLEEP WITH THIS WOMAN. Too bad he doesn't listen very well.

Jason had woken up, finding himself in a strange bed without his momma. Naturally he was freaked out.

[Library --> Streets]

Connor was running as fast as he could, trying to stay close to Sarai. He could hear so much commotion from behind them. Jade was no doubt coming, and she was going to be in a murderous mood. Being stabbed and slammed under a heavy shelf was probably not her idea of a good time. (Then again its Jade so who knows)

Then Connor saw some man grab Sarai over his shoulder. The boy immediately ran forward. “L-Let her go!”

[Flashback]

Just a reminder, universe, if Rica doesn’t sleep with Kanna, Melanie will never exist. Why am I now imagining the Doctor showing up and screaming “STOP! You two must get froggy, for the sake of the universe!” Worst episode ever.

Rica followed after Kanna as she headed towards the hallway and the room they had left the sleeping Jason in. In retrospect, perhaps it was a bad idea to leave a small child alone in a strange room… but Rica hadn’t quite expected the boy to wake up so soon.

-Panem Border-

Edda smirked a little, then put Chloe down on the ground.

“Just trying to impress you, I suppose,” he said. He turned to a tree, reaching up and slightly breaking a small branch, before he moved to another, pulling out a knife, and carving something small into the base of the tree, practically impossible for anyone to see while standing up.

He got back up, walking over to another tree with several gnarled roots. He took the duffel back off, opening it to take a couple things out, hiding them on his person, before he slid the duffel between some roots, rubbing some dirt and leaves over the bag, hiding it from view.

“Alright then Chloe... let's teach you how to shoot,” Edda said, “First, how much do you already know?”

-Camp McCarren-

“...We were practicing using our powers together...” Galv said, “My electricity can super charge Melanie's shadows... We thought if we could learn to harness that, we could really help out against the Enclave...”

Erin was behind Jason, looking nervous still, though thankfully she was no longer clutching a knife.



Ethan stood up, moving confidently in the dark. He couldn't see too well, his eyes were good, but he was always confident in his movements. It helped him keep control and not break things with his strength.

“You may have to help guide me around a bit,” Ethan said, “I can't see as well in the dark as you can.”

"Not too much, just aim and shoot...Isn't that all that's to it?" Chloe asked, moving to pull out her newly acquired gun, aiming it at a tree. Chloe was extremely strong, but she probably wasn't calm enough to focus....And focus was pretty important when it came to shooting.

Camp McCarren

"Can't you guys not get into trouble for like a couple minutes?" Jason asked with a groan.

"We're bored" Melanie responded "We can't just sit around doing nothing. We need to train"

"You're safe here, there's no need to train if you just stay put for once"

[...]

Kanna raised a brow, wondering if he was just pretending to need help or if he was actually in need of her guidance.

"Alright, come on" she said, taking his arm with one hand and holding her other up to glow.

Streets

"Let me g-go! Let me g-go!" Sarai exclaimed, confused and terrified. She wasn't sure who had her now, since she had not had a chance to get a look at them. She continued to thrash about until the man who had her turned into a house and dropped her on a couch in front of him. She instantly scrambled up, ready to try and stab him when the man suddenly hugged her.

Sarai paused, eyes wide. When the man moved back she got a better look at him...He had tanned skin and brown eyes like her, his short hair messy and a pair of glasses resting at the brim of his nose. She hadn't seen him in years, but she knew who he was.

"K-Kaylan?" Sarai squeaked.

Meanwhile Connor was still coming after them!

Meanwhile MEANWHILE Jade was about to catch up with them ALL.

Flashback

Kanna rushed down the hall, turning into the room where Jason lied sobbing. Instantly the woman scooped her baby up, trying to hush him. He didn't seem to calm down for a moment, but then he managed to quiet down a bit.

"It's okay, you're fine" Kanna mumbled, patting back the boy's messy hair.

"We're not at home" Jason finally whimpered

"We're at a friend's house. You're safe, go back to sleep love" Kanna answered.

“Not exactly... There's more to a gun then just pointing and shooting,” Edda said, shaking his head. He supposed he shouldn't be too surprised Chloe wouldn't know how to use a gun. Guns weren't allowed in the Games, so there would have been no reason to teach her.

“There's a few basic rules... Always assume the gun is loaded and it's safety is off. When it's out, only point it at things you want to shoot,” Edda explained. He pulled out a gun, like Chloe's.

“This is how you load it,” Edda said, going over the motions with Chloe, “Here's the safety. That's off, and that's on... Now then...”

He brought the gun up, pointing towards a tree, “See that knothole? About five feet up?”

Edda squeezed off three shots, getting them all in the knothole.

“Now try that...” Edda said to Chloe, stepping back to watch.

-Camp McCarren-

“We might be safe here, but the next place we go to might not be safe...” Galv said, frowning. “So we should train now...”

Galv paused for a moment, then moved a little closer to Melanie.

“If not training, Melanie and I can always find something else to do, then...”



Ethan gladly took Kanna's arm, walking with her now, able to see with the light Kanna was making.

“You know... I'm glad you took me home that night,” Ethan said, idly, “If you hadn't, I'd have never gotten caught up in all this. I'd still be worried about my daughter, probably back in the Capitol...”

He smirked a little, looking towards Kanna, “And that night itself was quite memorable...”

Chloe watched as Edda shot off three bullets, the sound coming from the gun loud enough to make the girl jump a bit. While Chloe was undoubtedly tough she had only heard guns go off a few times in her life. The sound was deafening for a moment, but she shrugged off the surprise a moment later and aimed her own gun at the tree.

After a moment of calming herself through a few deep breaths the girl squeezed the trigger once, the gun recoiling against her hand causing her to hiss in pain and curse rather loudly.

Camp McCarren

Instantly Jason went from annoyed to embarrassed, his face going a bit pink "Ah no! Don't do other things either! Ugh just sit here quietly! Or take a nap!"

"Jason, we aren't babies" Melanie groaned.

"You aren't adults either." Jason retorted "You two are half the reason we're all hiding out, so stop trying to cause trouble"

[...]

Kanna couldn't help but to smirk "I'm a memorable woman" she said with a flip of her long hair. "And i'm glad you're help, we can use all the help we can get right about now"
