[Flashback] Rica was standing in the hallway near the door to the infirmary. Melanie was inside, with Jason at the moment. Rica had rushed back here as soon as he returned to the Rebel Base with Samuel. All he wanted to do was find Melanie, but now that he was here… he had no idea what to say to the girl. He sighed, running his hand through his hair and looking up at Kanna. “… What the hell am I supposed to say to her?” Rica muttered. “I don’t even know what to say to YOU.” [Rebel Headquarters] Connor groaned as he woke up. His head hurt, and his body still felt numb. As it turned out, most of Connor’s problem had not come from being electrocuted by Galv – but by the dirty water he had fallen into a few hours beforehand. Connor had been covered in cuts when he fell into the water, and he got sick. Very sick. Just a few hours after the Rebels rescued them, Connor got a massive fever and passed out, and he had nearly died. Now he looked up to see Chloe. “Chloe!” Connor looked up at her as he sat up. “Are you okay? What happened? Is this the rebels?” […] Nanami paused as she heard Melanie’s voice. She turned around to look at the girl and sighed. Nanami understood the pain Melanie had to be in, and she understood her desire to help… which is why it was painful for Nanami to say what she was about to say. “… No.” Nanami shook her head. “I’ve spent ten years training to fight the Enclave. Prior to the Games, you’ve never had to fight anything. Their base will be full of the best soldiers, the most dangerous weapons, and Pylons.” She leaned down and put a hand on Melanie’s shoulder. “There’s no point in you helping to save him if it risks your life. The best thing you can do for him is to stay here and stay safe. I promise you, I will rescue him and I will make the Enclave pay for what they’ve done.” |

Flashback "You don't have to say anything" Kanna said after a few moments of silence. "Just go in there and let her know you're here for her" Before now Kanna's greatest secret was the fact that Melanie was Rica's daughter...She would have done anything to protect that. But now she knew that the girl needed her father. She was most likely scarred for life, and would need someone who related to her for comfort. Rica could be that for her. Kanna took a small breath before stepping into the room. She looked over at her child, rushing over and embracing the girl. "Oh Melanie...." "M-Mom" Melanie squeaked. Rebel Headquarters "I'm fine, don't worry miho" Chloe said with a smile, taking a sip of the coffee in her hand. "And yeah, we're at a rebel base. They brought us a few days ago, you've been knocked out for most of it though. You gave everyone a pretty big scare!" Chloe then pushed the coffee in front of his nose. "Coffee?" [...] “… No.” "W-What!? You can't tell me that I can't go!" Melanie exclaimed. She knew the woman had a point, even now Melanie didn't look like much a threat....But she could do it...She had to help Galv. "I'm not letting you all go without me. I don't care how dangerous it is. If something happens and you can't save him then I don't want to have regrets like you do! At least if i'm killed I won't have any regrets..." Because Melanie didn't want to end up like Nanami. |

[Flashback] Rica sighed and straightened out his jacket before heading into the room. He quickly hurried over to Melanie, but stood there silently as mother and daughter reunited. Rica watched Jason, Melanie and Kanna for a moment and he wondered how things might have been different if he had known about Melanie sooner… instead of spending the last several years at the bottom of a tequila bottle, could he have had a family? “… How are you feeling?” Rica asked at length. [Rebel Headquarters] Connor flinched a bit at the smell of the coffee in front of his face… and immediately he had to close his eyes and try his best not to tear up. Memories came flooding back to Connor’s mind. His parents had worked as doctors in the District where Connor lived, and so they were often up late with patients and had to be up early. Connor was usually the one to brew the coffee in the morning, and wake them up with it. “… I’ll pass.” Connor muttered. […] Nanami paused, looking down at Melanie. The girl seemed so small, and she looked so sad. It was utterly stupid to try to bring Melanie along on this rescue mission. The girl would only get in the way, or get herself killed… “… Fine… but you have to swear that you will do everything I say. I will get Galv out, but you have to obey me and not go rushing off.” Nanami relented. Because Nanami didn’t want Melanie to end up like her, either. |

Flashback Kanna held Melanie tightly for several moments, before finally letting the girl go and stepping back. Melanie blinked back a few tears and looked up at her family...Her mother and brother were right here in front of her. It was a miracle- “… How are you feeling?” Melanie blinked, looking up at Rica. Her dad. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't think straight enough to answer. She tried again- "My head hurts" she answered truthfully, wiping her eyes. Well that was a stupid thing to say to your dad... Rebel Headquarters Chloe gave a shrug, downing the coffee herself, not thinking anything of the boy's strange reaction. She didn't realize that it was some sort of trigger to his emotions. She moved back to her own cot, and gave a grin Sarai will be happy you're feeling better, she's been freaking out ever since you were brought here." Chloe gave a little grin "I think she was just jealous that we got to share a room" she joked. [...] Melanie's eyes lit up and the girl gave an instant nod. "O-Of course! I'll do whatever it takes to help" She wasn't sure how she would help...She supposed she could speak to Rica about it before she went...He knew how to fight. |

[Flashback] Rica sighed, looking down to Melanie. It was easily the most awkward moment of his life, and Rica was a man who spent at least half of his life drunk off his ass and in the company of prostitutes. “Listen, Melanie… I know… well…” Rica rubbed his neck. “This whole thing is… strange, but…” At that moment, the boozehound womanizing borderline psychopath started to tear up, and was glad that he wore sunglasses indoors. “You have no idea how happy I am that you’re alive.” [Rebel Headquarters] Connor wiped his eyes on the sleeve of his hospital gown and then gasped when Chloe mentioned Sarai’s jealousy. “Oh no…” He groaned, remembering how Sarai had been jealous of them before. He started to spring out of bed – but remembered he was in a hospital gown. “Um… Chloe? Where are my pants?” Insert your own joke. […] Nanami shook her head. “The best thing you can do to help is to just stay with the group, keep your head down and keep quiet. You may be able to help when we find Galv, to convince him to come with us…” Nanami had considered that originally. She had no doubt that Galv was already experiencing horrible things… but whether or not he had been brainwashed yet, she did not know. Melanie’s presence might help… but it would be horrible for Melanie to see him like that… … but Nanami knew it would be far worse if the Enclave fully got their hooks into Galv, as they had done to the boy she once knew… |

Flashback “You have no idea how happy I am that you’re alive.”' "T-Thank you" Melanie said with a weak smile...She still felt tired, and confused...And she was oddly empty. "D-Dad....Where's Galv?" First fatherly duty: telling your daughter her boyfriend is probably dead. You wanted fatherhood. Rebel Headquarters “Um… Chloe? Where are my pants?” Chloe gave a slight chuckle and shrugged her shoulders again. "I took them while you were sleeping" she answered simply. It was hard to tell if she was bluffing or not. "I would have pegged you as a lighter sleeper...But nope, Like a rock" The girl leaned back in her cot, now giggling outright. "Don't worry, i'll give them back when you give me another kis- Suddenly the door opened, Sarai standing there with a tray of stew and a cup of a glass of water. Upon seeing the boy--in his current state the girl gave a gasp, dropping the tray and turning around to block her view. Her face was bright red. By this point Chloe was cracking up. [...] "I can fight you know...I have powers...I'm not totally useless" Melanie stated, trying to remain calm and stoic like Nanami....She then turned on her heel, heading out of the room. "Let me know when you leave, i'm going to talk to my dad." |

[Flashback] "D-Dad....Where's Galv?" Rica froze up at the question, and what little color was in his face drained. He bit his lip, and failed in his attempts to not show any emotion. Galv had been one of Rica’s Tributes too, after all. He remembered back to that first day on the train… Galv had taken him to the side and confided in Rica that if it came down to it, he would rather have Melanie survive than him. … and Rica agreed. It had been horrible, the one thing a Mentor should never think… but Rica too had thought that if only one could survive, it should be Melanie. His daughter… the daughter he had never known. And although Galv was not dead (well, probably not)… Rica still knew only one of them had escaped; and when he imagined what the Enclave was probably doing, death seemed like the better option for Galv. “… Melanie…” Rica started, his voice choking up a bit. “Galv is… not here. He was… taken, by the Enclave.” [Rebel Headquarters] "I took them while you were sleeping" Connor groaned. Although he knew it had probably been a nurse who had taken his clothes and left him with the embarrassing gown, he was now forced to visualize Chloe taking advantage of him while he was asleep. And now you’ve all been forced to think about that too. "Don't worry, i'll give them back when you give me another kis- Connor started to protest, until he heard the clattering of a tray and saw Sarai standing there, now with her back to him. While Connor had the gown, it is a hospital gown and quickly the boy yelped and made sure to hold the back closed. His face was now as red as his hair, but he looked over to Sarai. “S-S-S-S-Sarai!” Connor stammered out. “T-This isn’t… I mean… Chloe stop laughing you’re not helping!” […] Nanami sighed as Melanie took off. She ran a hand through her hair and leaned against the wall. “… There’s no way I can let that girl go with us… but how the hell can I of all people tell her no?” |

-Rebel Headquarters- “It's something called a Pip-Boy,” Hammah said, turning as he saw his sister, smiling softly, “It's something from the old world, before the flare. One of the guys here found it and repaired it, and gave it to Dad to give to me. It's a mini computer, essentially.” He walked over to Colette, showing her the screen, tapping at it, “I can use it with my powers, hack into other computer systems, stuff like that...and even without my powers, I think I could do stuff like that too.” Hammah frowned a little, looking off to the side. He had been meaning to talk to his parents about this... “Umm...Dad...the Rebels...they're going to go get that other kid, Galv, soon...” Hammah said, getting back up now, “I wanted to go with them. With this, my powers...I think it could be a lot of help. Maybe I'll even be able to shut down a Pylon. Help even things up...” Agoi frowned, then sighed. Hammah had just gotten to them safely, and he didn't want to risk his son again...but he knew Hammah had a point...A technopath could mean the difference between someone coming back alive. “Have you talked to your mother about that?” Agoi asked. Hammah's face turned pale, shaking his head. “No way! She'd huggle me so hard she'd break my spine and not let me go!” Hammah said, holding his hands up, “But...in the Games...I felt so helpless...so useless...I couldn't even really help Kxs...” Who Jimi had been spending almost every waking moment with since they got back. “I want to be able to help the Rebellion...It's not like I'll be fighting...Just in the back...” Hammah added. Old Man Sensei was quiet as Nanami and Melanie talked. He sighed softly, shaking his head, wishing such young people didn't have to risk their lives like this. “I trust you Nanami. When you have your team ready, you may go whenever you feel is right, you don't need to check with me,” Old Man Sensei added, “Just remember the mission...and be careful...” -Enclave Holding Facility- Galv sat across from a table, trying very hard not to dig into the food that had been presented to him. Across the table the table was the last person he expected to see, cutting into a rather thick and juicy steak. He took a bite, nodding his head, then smiled at Galv after he swallowed. Gallic waved his hand over the food, “Is it not to your liking? I understand they haven't been feeding you that well. I want to apologize for that. No way to treat a guest.” “I'm not a guest...” Galv frowned, “I'm your prisoner.” “Details, details,” Gallic said, waving his hand idly, helping himself to a large spoonful of mashed potatoes, “General Autumn hasn't been treating you very well, sadly. I figured I should come and make sure you were treated better. He hasn't been doing very well lately, what with the Rebels invading the Games, that prison break a couple days ago...” He was referring to Pibb's escape...which Gallic himself had orchestrated. “I simply don't think he's up to the job, but I can't fire him. His ancestors were one of the founders of the Enclave. I think his great grandfather or something came up with the Games even,” Gallic said, “You really must try the halibut at least. It's to die for. Isn't to die for, Claire?” He turned his head to the only other occupant in the room, Claire Douglas, who was standing by the door and looked completely undisturbed. “It is, sir,” Claire said idly, nodding her head. Galv paused. He was hungry...and if he was ever going to see Melanie again, he needed to keep up his strength. Besides, if they wanted to drug him, they would have. With the Pylons on he couldn't stop a couple men in powered armor from holding him down, after all... He hesitated, then started to eat himself. It was quite good... “Good, good...” Gallic smiled, “A good working relationship should always begin with a basis of trust. You want to know a secret, Hawkins? About the Games?” Galv paused, his mouth full of potatoes. He swallowed, then nodded slightly. “I don't really care for them,” Gallic said, “Making some children fight for our amusement? Where's the civilization in that? I want to get rid of them, but I face some steep opposition. General Autumn, for instance. He'd never agree to that.” Galv nodded slowly, wondering why Gallic was telling him all this. “And the Rebels...they want me dead. Nanami would love to see my head on a platter. They don't realize I'm just the figurehead of the Enclave,” Gallic continued. This was far from true. Gallic wielded quite a bit of power, and was the figurehead because of his charisma, “If I go out and tell Panem 'we should end the Games' then the Enclave will call me out of office, or worse. Then what could I do? Nothing.” Gallic stabbed a piece of roasted carrot with a fork, chewing on it for a moment before continuing, “So you see the conundrum I'm in. Now you...and that girl, Melanie. You took Panem by storm. People love you and her. Lovers torn apart, grown closer together. People will listen to you.” Gallic smiled, as Galv hesitated with his own next bite, looking up at Gallic. He didn't say anything though, letting Gallic continue to talk. “With your help...your support...we can end the Games,” Gallic said, “Even the Enclave couldn't say no if everyone shouted for it. And I would be all the happy to help...” |

[Rebel Headquarters] Nanami turned towards Old Man Sensei and she sighed. “Believe me, I know the mission.” Nanami replied, shaking her head. “This is… it’s just like…” Her voice faltered for a moment and her eyes closed, but she quickly shook her head and recovered. “We’re leaving immediately. We’re going to free the boy.” Nanami paused, and then a terrible smile crossed her face. “… and with any luck, there will be some Enclave VIPs at the facility…” She had little hope that Gallic himself would be there, but it would be likely that Autumn would be skulking around. While it would lack the same satisfaction as killing Gallic, removing Autumn from the world was still a nice thought. |

Rebel Headquarters "Sorry miho! But I can't help it!" Chloe laughed loudly "You're hilarious!" From her spot staring at a wall Sarai gave a little whimper "M-M-Maybe I s-s-should come b-back" she managed. Chloe gave a nod, standing up from her spot and throwing her arm over Sarai's shoulder. Instantly the girl stiffened but Chloe did not relent. "Good idea! I'll come with you! We can get some more stew for Connor. I'm sure with all of his embarrassment he's starving" Chloe then looked over her shoulder at the overly embarrassed Connor. "Oh and your pants are over on my bed. Under my pillow. Your welcome." With that the girl lead Sarai out of the room so the poor boy could get dressed. The scary thing was that the pants were there. [...] Melanie headed out of the room, looking around before rushing over to where she remembered Rica to be staying...She hesitated for a moment before knocking softly. [...] "A Pipboy...." Colette said slowly, looking it over and running her small hand over the strange device. “Umm...Dad...the Rebels...they're going to go get that other kid, Galv, soon...” Hammah said, getting back up now, “I wanted to go with them. With this, my powers...I think it could be a lot of help. Maybe I'll even be able to shut down a Pylon. Help even things up...” Suddenly Colette recoiled her hand. "What!? No! You can't leave again!" she exclaimed with a frown. "You just got back!" Flashback Melanie stiffened, her clench on her sheets tightening considerably. "That's what the woman said before...On the truck when I first woke up" The girl felt her eyes watering again and instantly she wiped them. "I'm gonna be sick...." "Mel, maybe you should lay down again" Jason said, pushing her lightly against the pillow again. |

[Rebel Headquarters] Connor just groaned, burying his head in his pillow for a moment. He really wanted to talk to Sarai, but he had a feeling chasing after her without pants might make her brain explode. Connor was incredibly distressed when he did find his pants under Chloe’s pillow, but he decided that he really didn’t want to ask questions about this one. Instead the boy hurried to get dressed, and then rushed out to look for Sarai… and Chloe. […] Rica answered the door. At first he looked annoyed, until he saw that it was Melanie and his visage softened considerably. “Hey.” Rica smiled to her. He still felt awkward around her, though. “Err… come on it.” [Flashback] Rica frowned and looked down to her. “Melanie… I’m sorry. I know the two of you…” He trailed off. He wondered if he should tell Melanie what Galv had told him on the train… |

Flashback Melanie was silent for a few moments, stiffly accepting another tight hug from Jason and a sympathetic look from Kanna. She the looked down at her lap. "I....I need to be alone for a bit....I need to think" Jason frowned, not happy about leaving his sister for any period of time now that she was back. "Are you sure kiddo?" "Yeah." She answered simply. Rebel Headquarters Sarai walked down the hall with Chloe, the girl's cheeks still rather red from her run in with Connor. Chloe seemed to notice the girl's discomfort, giving a laugh and patting the girl's shoulder. "Don't worry he's fine" Chloe said with another giggle "He's just flustered you know?" "How l-long has h-h-he been u-up?" Sarai asked, turning a corner back into the kitchen. Chloe followed suit and watched as Sarai carefully poured another bowl of stew for Connor while grabbing some rags to clean the mess she had made before. "Just a few minutes, i'm sure he couldn't wait to see your pretty face again. He always gets so.....Googily around you" Sarai blinked "G-Googily?" "Yeah! You know, hot and bothered for lack of a better word" Sarai went red again. [...] "Sorry....Am I interrupting something?" Melanie said softly, looking around the room. Even though this place was just a temporary haven,Rica had made his space like home....It even kinda smelled like booze despite the fact that he quit the stuff. "I just wanted to talk to you...If you had a minute" |

-Rebellion Headquarters- “You are in charge of the mission Nanami, so if there's a chance, it's your call to make,” Old Man Sensei said, “But don't sacrifice yourself for it. Your death isn't worth any amount of revenge.” “I won't be gone long,” Hammah said to Colette, “Besides, I would be wasting my talents by staying here... I can help people, Colette...And I can't sit by and let people get hurt when I can do something. The Enclave are terrified of technopaths after all...It's why they offer such large bounties on anyone who turns in one...” Because a society that depended on advanced tech to keep the populace in control couldn't afford to have people who could control it just running around... “Besides, Jimi will still be here, along with Kxs! She's still recovering some, and I don't think Jimi's going to leave her side...” Hammah added. Ethan punched forward, Maize dodging to the side. “So what's this I hear about you and that woman? Kanna?” Maize asked as she kicked low, Ethan jumping over the kick and landing easily. “Probably exactly what you hear,” Ethan answered his daughter, “What about this Shizou?” “He's just an ally I made,” Maize answered simply, “That's all...” “I hear he's strong...I would like to see how strong,” Ethan said, “Not often I meet someone who can challenge my strength.” |

[Rebel Headquarters] Connor hurried and got dressed. He was a bit shaky as he headed out into the hall, and his head was still hurting a bit. The boy wanted to try to follow Sarai, but he had no idea where he was. The Rebel base was a vast complex of underground tunnels and rooms, and Connor had been unconscious for most of his time here. He peered down the nearest hallway and frowned. “Chloe? Sarai? Um… hello?” He called out lamely, not knowing where anyone was. […] Rica hurried over to Melanie with a slight smile. Things still felt extremely awkward for him around his daughter. “No, no, you’re fine.” Rica shook his head. His room was covered in papers and maps, and it was clear that he had been working on something for the rebels. “What do you need?” Rica asked, inviting her to take a seat. […] Nanami had heard this speech before, so she merely nodded her head and then turned down the hall. She would make an announcement soon, and it would be time to go… |

Rebel Headquarters Sarai poked her head out from the kitchen, the girl spotting Connor after he called for her. The boy now had pants on, which was a good sign, but Sarai was still rather flustered. She rushed back to him, now giving him a tight hug. "Y-You're o-o-okay no-now?" she asked, looking around for a moment before giving him a quick kiss. [...] "I.....I just wanted to ask you a question" Melanie said, taking a seat on a nearby chair. She couldn't help but to notice all the papers and plans...She carefully picked up one of the maps, looking over it. "Are you coming to save Galv too?" [...] Colette frowned, wrinkling her nose a bit and clutching Hammah's arm tightly. "I still don't want you to leave me again...Momma won't want you to either. Just ask her and see" Yeah....Getting the okay from Rose would be hard.... |
