[Arena]

Connor knew that he couldn’t make good on his promise. They were still in the middle of the Hunger Games, and he could not protect himself, much less her as well.

His eyes widened a bit as she kissed his cheek. A smile formed on Connor’s face, and he wished he could have enjoyed this moment a little longer. He imagined a time after the Games, when they could be living somewhere happy, healthy and away from the Enclave.

But that was just a dream at the moment. Connor needed to focus on the here and now.

“Oh, you found some water?” Connor smiled. “I wouldn’t mind washing up after earlier…”

Sarai smiled and nodded, moving her hands to the bun that Chloe had tied and letting her hair fall back down past her shoulders and down her back. She then cupped her hands under the water, looking back to Connor as she wet her shirt sleeves.

It took Sarai a moment to gather her nerve but a few minutes later she brought her wet sleeve up to his face, carefully wiping some of the dirt off. All the while she stared at him, as if trying to be very carefull.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Arena-

“...Sort of...” Edda said, “It's a bit complicated.”

He paused, staring at the ground, frowning for a bit. He wondered if he should tell them everything...

Edda shook his head, deciding not to, “I'd rather not talk about it.”



Galv had a hard time picturing Samuel and Kanna getting along at all...

“I think my dad was friends with, umm...Jason's dad...” Galv said, almost saying “your dad.”

“I don't remember that either...” Galv said, “You staying at our house...But I'm not that much older then you either...”

Now I'm imagining baby Melanie and baby Galv asleep in a crib.

-Forest-

The figure in power armor stood their ground as Knife charged, firing at him as he charged, kneeling to get a better shot!


Erin frowned, glancing towards Jason, then nodded, getting up and following after him.

Ethan hurried off, towards Kanna now. He didn't mind running away from a fight, not if it was Enclave vs Enclave.



“Don't worry, we won't get hurt,” Jimi said, “We'll be fine Colette...”

Agoi smiled, patting his wife on the shoulder, his daughter on the knee with his other hand. “We'll be careful, won't need healing. Besides, if I do get in a fight, I'm pretty good with my telekinesis.”

Forest

Jason took this chance to grab Erin's arm and pull her through the brush, the young man finding himself leading the way despite having no clue where they were going. Running closely behind was Kanna, who was having a slightly harder time keeping up thanks to her heels and dress. She obviously wasn't dressed for such an escape.

[...]

Rose sighed, and moved forward giving her husband a kiss. "Please be right.." she mumbled, before looking to Colette. "Come on darling, we need to let them go....They're going to find your brother now."

Colette bit her lip but gave a little nod, tapping on her Dad's head. "You can let me down..."

Arena


"Oh come on! What's the point of keeping secrets when we're all just going to die in the end" Chloe said with a grin, despite the morbid point she was bringing up. "Geez, both you and Sarai are so tight-lipped! Come on, you can tell your best buddy Chloe!"

[...]

"Well I supposed we had to have played together or something....I mean that's what babies do right?" Melanie asked, thinking about it as she played with her pitch black hair. She idly curled a piece of hair and let it fall over her eyes.

Flashback

Kanna didn't speak much since her husband died. The woman instead sat on her own, often numbing whatever frustration she was suffering from with a bottle of liquor....She also had a bad habit of sleeping around with questionable men in order to fill whatever void she felt at the moment...It was a bad cycle for a mourning young mother, which was precisely the reason she was being sent to live with Kain's old friend Samuel...Almost a year into mourning and she was still not over it.

Kanna had only agreed because of the children, both her son Jason and her two year old daughter Melanie needed someone who could look after them, someone who wasn't as emotionally detached as she was.

So there she was. Standing at the door Samuel's home, clutching her young son's tiny hand and holding Melanie carefully against her chest.

-Forest-

Erin kept close to Jason, but had enough presence of mind not to grab him tightly by the side, so they could escape better.

“We're leaving a trail, and our guides behind us,” Ethan said, running past Jason quietly, before he reached Kanna and simply scooped her up from behind, carrying her bridal style, grinning despite the situation they were in, “Whoever's in that armor will keep those Peacekeepers at bay long enough to regroup and head off. We should wait for our guides...”

-Rebellion HQ-

Cess, meanwhile, had gotten the Spork family to the Rebellion Headquarters, where Agoi lowered Colette down carefully.

“We're not heading out quite yet,” Cess said, “Soon though, we're waiting for a couple more people. For now you should come and meet the girl leading us into the Arena.”

Cess waved his arm, looking for Nanami.

-Arena-

Edda was quiet, frowning for a moment...He might as well tell them. If their plan worked, he'd have to tell them then...but still...

“...Look, your guys' plan...getting out of the Arena, finding somewhere else to live...I wouldn't be behind it if I didn't know there was a place outside the Enclave,” Edda said, “Let's just say I know there is...”



“When we see our parents again, we'll ask them,” Galv said, making a promise he wasn't sure he could keep, “Maybe they have pictures...”

He smiled softly, holding Melanie closely, enjoying her cool aura against his bare chest, though trying not to focus too much on it.

“Maybe it was good we didn't grow up together though...” Galv mused, “Not that I wouldn't have enjoyed the extra time with you, but...”

He trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence...that he feared the Games would be so much harder had they grown up together instead of their situation now.

“Well it doesn't matter,” he said after a moment, leaning to the side and kissing Melanie again.

-Flashback-

The door opened, and Samuel stood there. A young boy, not quite three stood by him, clutching his pants' leg, staring up at Kanna and the two year old Melanie, his eyes brown now like his father's, having changed from the blue all babies are born with.

“Welcome, Kanna,” Samuel said, letting Kanna in, having expected the woman. “I have a room set up for you, down this way. I didn't know if you wanted your kids in the room with you, or in, well, Galv's room...”

Kanna's husband had died a while ago, and Samuel's wife Levina had died in childbirth due to complications. Galv had come out fine, but his mother...

"H-Hey!" Kanna stuttered as Ethan scooped her up and started to run with her in his arms. She had no choice but to clutch to his shirt lest she fall.

Arena

Chloe blinked, instantly jumping up and going over to Edda. "Wait what? How!? What's out there!?"

Chloe wanted to know how Edda knew there was something out there...The Enclave made it a point to make them believe there was nothing outside the districts...And especially nothing beyond the games...How could he be sure?!

[...]

“Maybe it was good we didn't grow up together though...”

Melanie couldn't help but to giggle as Galv pressed her lips against hers. "Yeah....That and if we grew up together i'd probably think of you as a brother. Imagine that"

Hahahahaah that would be hilarious.

Flashback

Kanna followed Samuel into the house, looking around at the cozy space....It was warm and bigger than she was expecting...The place she had once shared with Kain and her children had been so small. The young woman carefully led her children through the halls...

"Momma it's big..." Jason said with a little smile. Kanna gave a little smile, but didn't say anything...

“I have a room set up for you, down this way. I didn't know if you wanted your kids in the room with you, or in, well, Galv's room...”

Jason stiffened. "I wanna stay with Melanie!!" he insisted. Kanna looked to Samuel.

"They can stay with your son...I'd like the room to myself...." she muttered softly.

Yeah, so she could get drunk all by her lonesome.

The Arena

Shizuo took the strange medicine and applied it without thought. No, he hadn't even thought she was attempting to poison him or had just given him bogus medicine. Shizuo was very trusting..which probably wasn't good for the games. "Thanks." He muttered to Maize.

He examined her features for the first time in a long time and realized she was nearly as banged up as he was. Neither had a clear advantage. They were both to set and ready.

---

Shipper smiled. "Really? You haven't? It's a treat, isn't it? Dad said gum's been around since before..." He muttered, with a look of amazement in his eyes.

He slung a bag from his shoulder and began to fill it with the loot in the old building. "Oi, Aiden, we should give like..codenames to each other. That way, if we run into another tribute, we can shout out the codename..and they won't know who we're calling, you know?"

He smirked. "It's like..that's a great idea...eh?"

The Fort

Cole walked up to Zeke following the great meeting with Caesar and elbowed him, whispering sharply; "Let's get out of here. Got a lot to say."

Rebellion HQ

"Wait just a min--oh, Cess, it's you." A voice spoke out. Grassi emerged with a frown but it quickly turned into a smile. "This one of the tribute's families, isn't it? I suppose you want to talk to the big man..or Nanami? It's nice to meet you guys. Dr. Grassi. Glad to have you on board Good Ship Lollipop."

Wit wasn't necessarily a good thing, though. Not right now.

Connor closd his eyes as Sarai wiped the dirt from his face. It did feel nice to actually feel a little cleaner after all of the running around, trekking through sewers and sweating… but it felt even better to just feel Sarai’s gentle touch.

“Thank you.” Connor said softly, smiling at her.

[Forest]

Knife suddenly jumped into the air, right over the second shot, and he came down to tackle the power armored figure!

[Rebellion HQ]

Nanami was in her room, sitting cross legged on the floor with her eyes closed. She was deep in thought, trying to shake away those dreams. Trying to keep herself calm.

The last thing she needed was to lose her cool now, when she was so close to a real strike against the Enclave.

Sarai gave a little smile, nodding as she dipped her shaking hand back in the water and rubbed at his face a few more times. She was feeling more and more comfortable with the boy...

"T-Thank you" she then said to him "F-For coming for m-m-me"

After all she would have been killed in the middle of all that fighting. Connor and Chloe had saved her.

Connor could only blink at her words. He smiled at her a moment later.

“You’re welcome… but really, you should be furious at me.” Connor sighed, his face falling. “You’re not a Tribute, you shouldn’t have to be here… it’s my fault. You’re only in danger because of me…”

Sarai understood where Connor was coming from with his guilt, heck she should have been mad at him for all of this! But she wasn't....From the beginning this boy wanted to make her life better, he had said it himself....And he had succeeded too! She could talk again, and for that she'd be forever in his debt.

The girl shook her head, moving in carefully once more and kissing him this time on the lips. The kiss was still very brief and more like a quick brush over his lips.

"B-Better h-h-ere wit-with y-you t-than alone a-a-at the Cap-Capitol" she said quietly

Connor’s eyes widened as she kissed him. It was so brief that he could have missed it in a blink, but it meant the world to the boy. He truly cared for Sarai, and he wanted to make good on his promise to get them somewhere safe.

“… Sarai, I promise I’ll do everything I can to get us out of here.” He said, putting his hands on her shoulders. “I want to make you happy. I’ll do everything, and nothing will stop us.”

[Enclave Headquarters]

The Peacekeeper General, head of the Enclave Military, Augustus Autumn, was sitting in his private room watching the Hunger Games. He was watching Connor and Sarai, and he was not pleased.

He activated the intercom on the wall. “Get me Seneca Crane.”

Sarai stiffened a little bit when Connor placed his hands on her shoulder but the girl made no move shrug them off. "T-Tha-Thank y-you for...for...for fixing m-me t-too" she said, touching her finger to her mouth. "I-It....It d-doesn't h-h-hurt a-a-any-anymore"

Enclave Headquarters

"You called for me?"

Seneca Crane stood at the doorway having been led in by two guards who had requested his presence. The man had been busy overseeing the entirety of the Games, but apparently had been focusing on the aesthetics rather than specific Tributes....And what they were doing....

Crane honestly had no clue what he had been called here for, but he doubted it was to congratulate him on a job well done....

Connor shook his head.

“Oh… n-no problem. I’m glad I was able to heal you.” Connor smiled at her. He honestly had not expected to be able to heal such a wound.

“Has it gotten any easier to talk?” Connor asked.

[Enclave Headquarters]

Autumn turned to Crane as he was brought in. It was well known throughout the Enclave that Augustus Autumn tended to do… well, whatever he wanted.

“Yes. I did. The Avox we sent into the Arena for the Tribute Connor Jackson… a most unfortunate thing has happened.” Autumn explained in his cold southern drawl.

“He’s healed her. He regrew the little whelp’s tongue. Do you know what that means, Crane? It shows that there are powers that can heal Avoxes… and that might make people a little more willing to risk becoming an Avox.”

Autumn narrowed his eyes. “We can’t have that. We need to send a message. I want you to make some arrangements in the Games. Set things up so that the boy and his little entourage make it to Central Park. I’ll have something I want you to have waiting for them.”

Oh yeah, this is going to be bad.

Ethan slowed once they got a bit away, stopping and turning towards Jason and Erin, though he still held unto Kanna.

“Alright...what happened to our guides?” Ethan wondered, looking for Sama and Crystal.



The figure dropped the gun, out of ammo now, as Knife jumped at him.

Water flew from his hands, swirling around and creating a small vortex above him, attempting to grab Knife and send him flying back!

-Arena-

“...Because I'm from there,” Edda said after a moment, closing his eyes, “I'd rather not talk about the details though.”

He frowned, looking back up to Chloe, “I'm trusting you guys right now. I just want a little trust back.”



Galv looked a little sheepish, “That would be awkward...I'm glad you don't. I much prefer to think of you as a girlfriend...”

He kissed her again to emphasize the point.



Maize took some of the medicine too, then paused, turning her back to Shizou before pulling her shirt up slightly and applying it to her side as well.

“You can eat it too,” Maize said after a moment, “It has some medicinal properties there as well...”



Aiden chewed on the gum for a bit, then made a face as she swallowed it.

“Kind of an odd thing to eat though...” Aiden commented, not knowing you weren't suppose to swallow the gum. “And code names? That sounds like fun. Ummm...I'll call you...”

The white haired girl paused, tapping her chin and thinking, “Ummm...Earth...guy?”

-The Fort-

“Gotcha,” Zeke said, following after Cole, “It should be an interesting story...Want a drink?”

Zeke offered Cole a Sunset Sarsaparilla, since he was smart enough not to drink beer in front of a bunch of Legionnaire's.

-Rebellion-

“Hey Grassi,” Cess said, nodding to the man, “And I'd like to talk to Nanami, since she'll be leading the force. And oh!”

He turned, indicating Agoi and Jimi, “Mr. Spork here is an inventor, good with machines. He's volunteered to help with stuff in the Arena. And this is Jimi, he's the brother of one of the Tributes, and uhh...”

“A...good friend...” Jimi said, speaking up, “Of another one...”
