Since the events of Big Mountain, Lavan had been a very, very busy boy. In fact, he was mostly gone from the Rebel Base, and had spent a total of just over 24 hours back at base, helping Nanami recover from her injuries on the very first day. Since he was the one who created the compounds that kept Nanami running, he was the one in charge of the detox scheduling, and he had stayed with the girl for the first 24 hours.

It was quite relaxing for him. And surprisingly, he wasn't as annoying as he could have possibly been... Though it was impossible to say that he wasn't energetic. In the end, there was much one-sided talking from his end.

However, he vanished after that first day, only returning briefly back to base for a few hours, only to leave again. And he actually managed to evade patrols and any sort of monitoring doing so, which was quite surprising considering his choice of clothing. He managed to keep in touch with Old Man Sensei, but only to reveal some of his plans and to ask the old man to keep them secret.

But he's been at work. He was finalizing a lot of plans that were supposed to help with the rebellion plan, and he brought a unique sort of charisma to the table, an energy that allowed him to accomplish much more than Old Man Sensei himself. In two days flat, he managed to finalize his talks with the families that now set up a new combined system within New Vegas, arranging a set of checks and balances and assigning himself as the neutral party for all negotiations, effectively getting on the good side of all the families. In addition to these talks and setting up a proper control and governmental system for what was basically a city of sin, Lavan managed to gain the personal aid of the families.

With it, the ranks of the Rebellions would almost double over with the addition of some of the bodies from the families of Vegas. It was one of Lavan's greater victories.

But that wasn't all. Another day was spent trekking back into the mountains, and a day of trekking back, visiting his old teacher. When he returned from the visit, it was with a smile that refused to leave his face no matter how grim things seemed.

He wasn't at base when he received news of what Gallic did, which suddenly put him in a rather convoluted light in Lavan's eyes. The redhead finally discerned Gallic's true purpose, and... Was rather off-put at first by the news, but ended up actually sympathizing with the man, just a little bit... But above the small amount of sympathy was pity.

No one was around to really stop Gallic from going too far. The man had no one whom he considered a close friend. He had no family. No wife, no child, no parents. No one was there to stop him from going too far to achieve his goals, and so Gallic went too far, made one too many wrong choices.

Lavan could understand that all too well. Especially now that he saw the camaraderie between the rebels, he could almost see himself becoming similar to Gallic if he was left alone for too long. Lavan wanted to help people, to keep everyone happy. But friendship and close ties were what made such traits shine.

And it made him realize that he had no such person himself. He was making friends with the rebels, but there was no one he was truly close to. Sure, Cess looked like a good man to make a friend with, and Nanami herself was an extremely attractive sort, though cold and distant... But they weren't close friends. Not yet. Neither trusted him, and Lavan himself wasn't naive enough to simply trust them with everything.

And so, several days of thinking and action, several days of absolutely manic activity that left even him exhausted saw to it that when Cess started looking for the red-headed pyrokineticist, Lavan was still asleep after having arrived very early that morning back from wherever he had vanished to.

Melanie looked over to the door when Rica appeared, the girl unsure if he would react like her mother when it came to her boyfriend...Luckily Rica was a lot more mellow and simply pulled Galv out of the room (hopefully not to kill him) for a moment.

Melanie shifted her weight between feet, nervously waiting for Galv and Rica to return. When they did she looked over and smiled at Galv. Luckily Galv was still alive.

“I want to talk to you.”

"Of course" she said to Rica, moving to get up and follow him out the door.
[...]

"It's rather good" Kanna said simply, looking up at Ethan walked back into the room. Half the food on her plate was now gone and Kanna looked in a much better mood....Whatever that meant for Kanna.

"What did you and Rica talk about?" she asked casually

Meanwhile Jason was attempting to cook something for he and Erin....It was working...Kinda.

Jason couldn't cook.
[...]

"Come onnnnn i'm waiting!" Chloe said, still holding Sarai down on the ground. The poor girl couldn't move her arms since Chloe was pinning her down, but she was attempting to kick.

"G-Get off of m-me!" Sarai exclaimed.

"Make me get off" Chloe told her.

"I can't!" Sarai told her "Y-You're hurting me"

"No i'm noooooot" Chloe said, but just to be safe she loosened her grip on Sarai's wrists.

Rica sighed, rubbing his neck awkwardly as he stared off at the wall beside Melanie. He wasn’t good with people – and most of his interaction with women was the kind of stuff that certainly didn’t prepare him for having a daughter.

“… I don’t know how this is all going to end… but when this is all over, I want you to come and live with me.” Rica said, still not looking to her. “You can bring the redhead. I’m sure your mother won’t be happy, but… I want to try to be a father to you, Melanie.”

[…]

Connor frowned deeply as he watched Sarai and Chloe spar. He knew how important it was for them to train, but he also knew how difficult this was for Sarai.

“You can do it, Sarai.” Connor said, trying to encourage her.

Cess found Lavan, asleep. He briefly considered waking him up with a crude prank, but quickly disregarded the option. Things were too serious right now, after all.

“Hey, Lavan, sorry to wake you up,” Cess said, shaking Lavan's shoulder lightly. He knew Lavan had been extremely busy with something, though none of the details, and had been coming and going at odd hours, “Gallic and Autumn are making their moves, they're fighting each other. It's going to be our best time to strike. I'll fill you in on the details as we get ready.”



Galv looked towards Melanie as Rica asked if she wanted to live with him. He was about to protest, saying that he and Melanie weren't going to be separated, but Rica offered the same to him.

Galv paused. He hadn't thought too much about what he and Melanie would do exactly once this was all over... Settle down somewhere, of course, but he didn't really think about where. Just as long as it was with Melanie was enough for Galv.

“If Melanie wants to, that's fine with me,” Galv said, deferring the decision to Melanie. She had the right to know her father, after all.



“Oh, just some men stuff,” Ethan said idly to Kanna as he sat back down, smiling towards her now.

“So what do you plan on doing after all this?” Ethan asked the woman, “Anything interesting?”


Erin was watching Jason cook, being a worse cook then even him.

“Do you want me to cook?” Erin asked Jason in a quiet voice.

Don't let her, Jason. You won't survive it.



“If you're fighting someone who's about your same size, the winner is whoever can strike harder and faster,” Edda said, “Or who can keep getting up. If you get pinned like that, and can't get up... well, you just have to try whatever you can to break free.”

Sometimes the only advice Edda could give was “Don't get in that situation.”

"Choe! Please j-just let me g-go!" Sarai pleeded, wriggling around and trying to break the girl's grip.

"No!" Chloe told her "You think some Enclave d-bag is going to let you go if you ask nicely."

"P-PLEASE" Sarai yelled, looking absolutely desperate. It was clear she was panicking. The girl's personal bubble had been popped ten times over. When it was clear her pleas were falling on deaf ears she tried to move her head up and did the only thing she could do-

"OW! You bit me!" Chloe yelped, jumping back as Sarai bit down hard enough to draw blood.

Once Chloe's hands weren't holding Sarai down the girl scrambled back looking ashamed.

[...]

Melanie was silent for a moment when Rica suggested that she and Galv live with him after all of this was over. Honestly the idea interested the girl, she had never lived with her father and barely knew him....Not to mention he was supportive of her relationship with Galv. She wanted to give Rica a chance to be a real dad.

"I'd love to....But what about my mom?" she asked softly, pushing a stray raven hair behind her ear. "I don't want to hurt her....And she doesn't have anyone..."

The same could be said for Rica.

[...]

"Men stuff eh?" Kanna said, looking up from her food and twirling her fork idly in her fingers.

“So what do you plan on doing after all this?”

Kanna thought about it for a moment. "I'll probably take Melanie and Jason somewhere new, start over. After all we can't go back to the Capitol. We need to find somewhere new where they can grow up."

Jason heard his mom talking about him and Melanie, but instead he focused on Erin. "You can cook?"

NO. DON'T.

Edda laughed, shaking his head as Sarai bit Chloe and she jumped back.

“See? That's exactly what I was talking about,” Edda said, smirking, “Fight dirty! Do whatever you can to win.”



Ethan was quiet for a moment, taking a bite of his food.

“Jason's an adult... he might have plans of his own,” Ethan said, “And I don't think you'll be able to separate Melanie from Galv.”

He was quiet for another moment, then spoke again.

“How about you come with me for a little bit? We can look around New Vegas some more, perhaps...” Ethan suggested, grinning now.


Erin nodded, “Well... no... But it can't be too hard, right?”

She looked at the cooking supplies, “Right... I can cook for you! That's what a wife is suppose to do, right?”

Connor frowned and he jumped down from where he was sitting and walked over, putting his arm around Sarai and pulling her against him.

“Are you okay?” Connor asked.

[…]

Rica paused. He didn’t know if it was a good idea to invite Kanna. Rica didn’t think it would be smart to enter that part of his life before. He let out a small sigh.

“If your mother wanted to come, of course she can, but I’m not sure she’d like that idea.” Rica said, shaking his head.

“See? That's exactly what I was talking about, fight dirty! Do whatever you can to win.”

"Easy for you to say! You weren't the one bit" Chloe said with a groan, poking her arm with her finger as she looked to Edda. "I'm not gonna get rabies am I?"

Meanwhile Sarai leaned against Connor, hiding her face for a moment. When she looked up from Connor she turned her glace to Chloe. "I-I'm s-sorry" she mumbled.

"Eh, don't worry about it. You did what we wanted you to." Chloe said with a shrug "We told you to fight back and you did it."

"I don't t-think I li-like fighting" Sarai mumbled.

"You don't have to like it, just do it. Connor can't save you all the time"

She had a point.

[...]

Melanie was silent for a moment before she gave a small sigh. "You're right...She won't like it....But I do want to....Um...I do want to stay with you"

She knew her mom REALLY wouldn't like this, but she wanted to learn more about her dad....There was so much she wanted to know.

"If Galv can come along then I want to live with you"

[...]

Kanna raised a brow. "I don't like the idea that my children are too told to live under my watch"

“How about you come with me for a little bit? We can look around New Vegas some more, perhaps...”

"Me.....And you....Together. Without my children?"

Kanna wasn't sure about this....She had never been away from her children...Though she was attracted to Ethan....But at the same time....

"I don't know....I mean, they may be grown up but Melanie still needs a place to live...."

[...]

Jason blinked "...W-Wife? B-but we're not married"

Not in this universe anyway....

His stomach growled. "Nevermind....Can you make eggs?"

Connor smiled at Sarai and pushed some of her hair behind her ear. He leaned in and kissed her quietly, and then began to speak.

“It’s GOOD that you don’t like fighting, Sarai… but we have to fight for a little longer. Once the Enclave is gone, we can be free from all of this. The Hunger Games, the Enclave… we’ll all be free. No more Gallic, no more Autumn, no more of this insanity that’s gripped Panem for so long…”

Connor gave her a big smile. “We’re almost there… we just need to keep going a little further.”

[…]

Rica chuckled slightly, and ran his hand through his dark hair. So this is what it felt like to be a father. No alcohol, no self-pity, no more spending every waking second thinking about the life he could have had with Kanna…

“I’m glad.” Rica said. “You and Galv can come along with me, then, once this is all over.”

Sarai gave a weak nod and a sigh. She knew Connor was right...Even if it was scary she would tough it out and fight. The girl leaned in and kissed him.

"Miiiihhhhhoooo you're babying her!" Chloe said in a sing-song voice. "You gotta be tougher!"

The hispanic girl beckoned him forward. "Your turn to fight!"

[...]

Melanie was worried, but she gave a small smile. Then, in a sudden motion she moved forward and hugged the older man tightly. "Thanks for being around now...I suppose I should figure out how to break it to my mom..."

“Maybe I should spar with Connor,” Edda said, stepping forward now, “It'll be easier to help show him the ropes.”



“... Thank you,” Galv said to Rica as well, nodding his head, “We appreciate it. I'll have to let my dad know as well...”



“We don't have to go right after everything is done,” Ethan said, “You can take the time to make sure your children are all right. Wait until Melanie is eighteen herself. I am more then happy to wait... or just stick around myself.”

He smiled towards the woman, “At the very least, I think you deserve a little vacation, and I would be honored if you would take one with me.”



Erin nodded, “Yes... I think so... Walter use to make some for me for breakfast...”

Erin grabbed some supplies, and got to work!

This won't end well.

Connor highly enjoyed the kiss, but frowned shortly after when Chloe mentioned it was now his turn to fight. He stepped forward, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Alright, let’s just get this over with.”

[…]

Rica patted Melanie on the head and he sighed happily. He was glad that he now had a daughter… and he hoped that when this was all over, it would work out.

“I can talk to your mother if you want.” Rica offered.

Sarai clutched onto Connor, only dropping her grip as he walked over to Chloe and Edda. She bit her lip and stood back, watching....

"Alright, you can have a go" Chloe said to Edda, moving to the side and leaning against a tree. She absently rubbed the shot Sarai bit her...That girl had quite a bite.

[...]

"She'll kill you probably" Melanie told him. She was joking...Kinda. "But that would be great. I don't want to hurt her feelings or anything..."

[...]

Kanna thought about Ethan's proposition for a moment "A vacation sounds nice....After that...We'll see"

That was better than a no.

[...]

Jason sat down when Erin took over cooking, the young man rubbing his head for a moment....

He probably shouldn't have taken his eyes off the girl. Something already smelled as if it was burning....

The man blinked, looking back at the girl.

Connor nodded, and turned his eyes towards Edda. In truth, he felt a little better about sparring with Edda than with Chloe. He knew how strong Chloe was, and it was scary… plus he was a little apprehensive about rolling around on the floor with Chloe.

[…]

Rica shrugged his shoulders, slipping his hands into his pockets. “She can try. I’m pretty hard to kill. I’ll go talk to her.”

He smiled to Melanie, and even to Galv, and then headed for the door. Now all he had to do was talk to Kanna… which was legally considered a form of suicide.

Edda nodded to Connor, bringing his hands up, watching the other boy.

“Discounting anything recent, have you had any experience fighting, Connor?” Edda asked. “Any training of any kind? Or just fighting on the streets?”



Ethan smiled, “That's all I ask. And I'm glad you liked the meal... I can always cook some more for you, too.”



After a few minutes, Erin declared herself done, then put... something unto a plate, and handed it to Jason, staring at him with her big green eyes.

“I hope you like them...” she said.

They were blackened... and in various parts they were still apparently runny and uncooked... somehow...
