“No, don’t!” Connor quickly moved forward and took Sarai’s hand. He frowned… he wasn’t sure it was a good idea to tell her what Chloe had just done, so instead the boy just pulled her into a hug.

“I’m just… tired. That’s all. After everything that’s happened…” Connor sighed. He didn’t like lying to Sarai, but if he told her where he was going, she would want to come… and it was too dangerous.

[…]

“Maybe I wouldn’t have ended up such a psychopath if I’d had you and Melanie in my life.” Rica growled.

He shook his head, pacing around.

“… I don’t need to put ideas in her head. She’s already made up her mind.”

He sighed.

“… I don’t need to put ideas in her head. She’s already made up her mind.”


"What?! She's not going with them if that's what you're talking about!" Kanna exclaimed. "She's just a child! She's not going to fight any more in her life! I don't care how much she looks like their crack-pot leader- Melanie is not going to be some damn symbol for some rebellion any more!"

Kanna took a pause, breathing out and looking to the side.

"It's my job to protect that girl and I damn well can't do it when she's being shot at by Enclave soldiers."

[...]

Sarai was about to make a hasty retreat when Connor took her hand and pulled her into a warm hug. The girl couldn't help but to melt a bit at his embrace, it was just so careful and kind...She liked the feeling.

“I’m just… tired. That’s all. After everything that’s happened…”

Sarai suddenly felt guilty again, the girl looking at him with sad eyes. "Y-You should s-sleep t-then...I'll s-stay here if you w-w-w-want"

She girl then made him sit back on the bed, before taking a spot sitting on the floor next it. She offered him a small smile, before looking back at her lap with pink cheeks.

[...]

"Gaaaaah! Daaaaad!" Colette exclaimed, as she was lifted up high. She clung to the man in an effort not to fall.

“Of course dear. Do you want us to bring you back anything?”

Rose smiled, but shoot her head "Oh no, i'll be fi-"

Her stomach growled and the woman gave a sigh. "Maybe some tea"

[...]

"I'm just glad he didn't make be stab my eye or something" Melanie noted, watching as the man finished up the bandages. "I hope he's not too upset that i'm not like him though...I think he would have let me do more if I was-"

“Look...I can understand you wanting to go and save Galv...But what if something happened to you? Galv would never be able to forgive himself if you got seriously injured trying to rescue him...”

"And I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to him and I couldn't prevent it because I was stuck here....I....I think I might love him Mr. Samuel. I don't want to risk this"

She was starting to realize how awkward this conversation was going to get.

"And anyways I don't want to end up like that Nanami girl....Or my mom...." Melanie added. "I wanna actually be happy...With him"

Rica merely sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. He should have kept his mouth shut, but he was angry.

“She’s not a child, Kanna. Not anymore.” Rica shook his head. “She was in the Hunger Games. No matter how much you might think you can understand what that’s like, you can’t.”

He shook his head. “… But don’t worry. I’m not going to put her in danger. I’m going to let her stay in one of the cars so that she can reunite with the boy after we save him. She won’t go anywhere near the battle.”

[…]

“N-No.” Connor shook his head. “I have to… help the rebels with something. I’ll be gone for a few hours. You should just rest up here.”

Connor gave the best smile he could, although he was worried about all of this.

“We'll get you something good, don't worry,” Agoi smiled, turning with Colette still on his shoulders, heading out to the hallway, “Come on Colette, you can help me cook something for your mother!”



Samuel frowned. Personally, he had been glad that Galv did not get his own ability...

“Look...I know how frustrating it can be, not being able to do anything for someone you care about. My...my wife, Levina...When she had Galv, there were some medical complications. Despite my ability there wasn't anything I could do. I could only sit and wait as the doctors tried to save her...”

He made sure the bandage was tight around Melanie's hand to stop the bleeding then leaned back, “And that day I lost her. I had no one to blame. It wasn't any one's fault, just some cruel joke of reality...”

Samuel punched the wall at his side, frowning at the memory. “As for your mom...for a while, I thought she might be happy after everything...” he trailed off, realizing he probably shouldn't be mentioning everything, “But you and Galv have been thrown in this together. If you go, Galv might do something insane trying to save you from something...

“Galv focuses on something, and he gives it everything he has, he doesn't hold back. Now he's focused on you...someone he loves, someone he was willing to throw his life away for. Melanie...I may not be related to you, but I watched you grow up. I helped take care of you when I could. I feel responsible for you along with my own son...I don't like you going, but I won't stop you. I couldn't stop my son if your positions were reversed, after all.”

Samuel sighed, shaking his head, “But if you are going, stick by me, okay? I'm bulletproof. At the very least my ability lets me shield others...”

"You say that, and then you have to come to me later and tell me that my- our child is dead" Kanna said, looking him in the eyes. "I may not have been in the games but Jason's father was in them and didn't make it back out. I know what it's like to loose someone and I refuse to go through it again. There's no way to guarantee her safety in there and you know it."

[...]

Sarai blinked, jumping up as Connor told her he would be leaving for a few hours. She didn't like the way that he was smiling...It was too sad.

"W-What!?" she exclaimed, moving to him once more and grabbing her arm with a iron-like grip. "W-Where are y-you going"

She knew it wasn't good...She had been hearing things around.

"D-Don't leave me here" she told him, as forcefully as a girl like her could manage.

[...]

Colette held on tight as AgoI walked down the halls. "Papa, when this is over will we go back home?" she asked.

As exciting as everything here was she was scared...And homesick.

"Will our home still be there?"

[...]

Melanie jumpped a bit when Samuel punched the wall but continued to listen closely. She wasn't scare of the man, no , he had never done anything to hurt her family.

I don't like you going, but I won't stop you. I couldn't stop my son if your positions were reversed, after all. But if you are going, stick by me, okay? I'm bulletproof. At the very least my ability lets me shield others...””

Melanie smiled and gave a little nod. "Okay...Between you and Rica I won't even see a bullet." she then paused, as if debating to ask something else. "Ummmm, think you could maybe convince my mom? I still haven't told her...Jason either...And they would listen to you. You're the only person they really trust."

“We'll go home someday dear, don't worry...” Agoi said to Colette as they headed for the kitchen. “And even if it's not there, we can get a new home...after all, it's not the place, it's the people you're with that makes it a home. You, Jimi, Hammah, your mother, your cousin, even Kxs...All those people are important to me, and they're what I think of when I think of home.”



“Huh...great way to repay that trust...” Samuel sighed, running a hand through his hair, “I don't think there's anything I can say to make your mother agree. Jason...maybe, I think, but not Kanna. She doesn't want you ending up like her either.”

He gave Melanie a soft smile, patting her on the shoulder, “I can try though. Do you want to go with me to talk to her?”

“We both know what it’s like to lose someone,” Rica replied, his eyes narrowed. “But there’s no reason for Melanie to go through that too. She actually has a chance to prevent that loss. I’m not going to let her live through the same kind of pain as us if I can help it. I won’t let her end up the same kind of bitter, angry bastard that you and I are.”

[…]

Connor frowned.

“Sarai… I’m not leaving you here… I just want you safe.”

He sighed and put his hands on her shoulders.

“I don’t want you to get hurt. So please, just wait for me here, okay? So I’ll know you’re safe.”

Kanna shook her head. "See this is how I know you would have made a smurf father Rica. If you were her dad you wouldn't let her make this kind of decision. You would protect her...That means keeping her OUT of harms way. I'd rather her be a bitter, angry alcoholic like us than dead..."

[...]

Sarai stiffened as Connor placed his hands on her shoulders...She leaned forward, kissing him (totally unaware that Chloe had already laid claim on the poor boy's lips) before moving back. She then shook her head. "N-No. I'm not s-staying here. Y-You're going t-to fight r-r-right? Well I can s-shoot. Better than you probably"

[...]

Colette gave a little nod. "I just want everything to go back to normal....But i'll be happy wherever we end up..." she said.

[...]

"I don't know if she'll want to see me once she knows what i'm gonna do...I don't want her to get angry or something...But I suppose I should...Maybe..."

Melanie sighed "What made you want to help her back then...And all those years. Why are you the only one she trusts anyways?"

“I already had to send her into the damn Hunger Games!” Rica shouted, shaking his head. “I already had to send her into those damn Games knowing the hell she would have to go through. I’m not going to let her end up like us, Kanna. She deserves better.”

[…]

Connor frowned, looking to Sarai.

“I don’t want you to get hurt. I want you to be safe… I can’t fight if I know you’re in danger. Please, Sarai… please, just wait here. I promise I’ll come back to you.”

“I don't know if she really trusts me...” Samuel said, getting up and heading out into the hallways, “Maybe it's more that she doesn't trust herself...but I guess with everything that's happened now...”

He trailed off, shaking his head, “Come on, let's go find her and talk to her.”

Samuel headed down the hallway, approaching Kanna and Rica now...



Hammah was hurrying through the corridors, looking for Nanami. He had to talk to her to make sure he could go, since she was leading the teams!

“I already had to send her into the damn Hunger Games! I already had to send her into those damn Games knowing the hell she would have to go through. I’m not going to let her end up like us, Kanna. She deserves better.”


Kanna glared at Rica, both adults caught in a stalemate regarding their daughter. The woman opened her mouth the speak, but held her tounge when she saw Melanie turn the corner with Samuel.

Melanie followed Samuel quickly, biting her lip as she noticed her mother and Rica talking...It was obvious that they weren't getting along. She could feel everyone staring at her, even though her eyes were now on her shoes.

"You're not going with them Melanie"

"You already knew?" the girl asked, eyes wide. "Mom! I have to!"

[...]

Sarai had a feeling Connor wouldn't back off of his stance, and it was more than frustrating to the girl. "Y-You won't let me go, b-but she's going isn't s-she?" She asked bitterly, referring to Chloe. "You'll l-let her h-help you..."

Sarai stepped back from the embrace, looking down.

"T-There's nothing keeping me here i-if you d-de-decide to go. I don't w-want to be a-alone a-again"

Nanami was in the motor pool, overseeing the final touch ups for the jeeps. They had been armored, and the armor reinforced. Storming one of the Enclave’s main bases was borderline suicidal, and they would need extra protection for them to survive.

[…]

“Melanie,” Rica interrupted Kanna and he walked in between mother and daughter. “You can go along in the jeeps. You’re not going to be involved in the actual combat, but you can wait in the jeep for them to get Galv out.”

[…]

Connor frowned. He could tell that Sarai wanted to come along… but the very idea terrified him.

“Sarai… I’m not leaving you alone, I want you to be safe. I don’t want you in any more danger.” Connor sighed. “You’ve already been in so much danger because of me…”

"That's not fair!" Melanie exclaimed, starting to get very upset. The girl clenched her fists tightly glaring up at Rica. "I'm just as able to fight as everyone else whose going! I'm just as strong!"

Melanie's hands started to flare up, her powers making the room grow cold.

"Melanie calm down" Kanna snapped, sensing the change.

"No! I'm not going to calm down! You guys think i'm weak! I'm stronger than YOU! You weren't even in the ga-"

There was a crack of sound as Kanna slapped her daughter. Melanie suddenly went very quiet, shocked by the sudden action.

"Get out of my sight" Kanna growled. "You aren't going anywhere"

[...]

"I d-don't care if i'm in d-danger" Sarai said "I-I love you......I'd r-rather be in danger with you, than alone and s-safe. I don't w-want to have to wonder if y-you're okay"

The girl rubbed her eyes.

Kanna slapped Melanie, Samuel glaring at the woman.

“Kanna...you should understand this. Melanie wants the chance to try and save Galv. Think, when we were younger. You never had the chance to try and save Kain. I never had the chance to try and save Levina. What would you have given then, just for that slim chance?” Samuel asked, “Because I know what I would...It's why we can talk to each other, it's why...it's...you know why...

“We've both felt that loss, being powerless to do anything to help those we loved before. You never wanted to feel that way again...neither did I...But now our children have been put in that same position. Someone they care about is in danger. Galv got his chance to do something about it. He protected Melanie, he was able to save her. Now Melanie wants the same chance to save Galv, to help protect him. Look me in the eye and tell me that you wouldn't do the same in her place...Because I know you better then that Kanna.”

Samuel took a deep breath, still glaring at the shorter woman, “I should have realized this sooner, considering everything...You do care about your children, but you care about your happiness more then their own. They have to be able to take risks, to do what they feel is right. If Melanie doesn't go, and something happens...Then she will be just like you. Bitter and angry at the world, and never being able to let anyone else into her life again...”



“Nanami! Ma'am! Ummm...” Hammah came to a halt as he approached the motor pool, seeing Nanami. He had briefly met her before, when the Rebellion rescued the Tributes and brought them all to the Rebel Base, but hadn't talked to her personally. Now in front of her, she seemed a lot more intimidating...

“Ummm...Miss Nanami?” Hammah then said, taking a deep breath, “I want to go with you guys, to rescue Galv. I'm...I'm a technopath, and I think my ability can really help. Plus, with the Pip Boy I got from Grassi here, I can use it to help maybe shut the Pylon off even if it's already on...Help level the playing field...”

Kanna glared at Samuel, fully away that there was truth in everything he said...She just refused to admit it. She hated that he had seen her at her lowest, and now was trying to remind her of it in order to make her feel guilty about her actions.

"Don't you dare try to guilt me" Kanna growled "This has NOTHING to do with you-" she then turned to Rica "or YOU. All of you just get out of my sight!"

Kanna then turned, stomping off and leaving the two men and her daughter. Melanie looked to the side, giving a small sigh.

"I'm gonna go find my brother" Melanie said sadly, rushing off in the other direction.

[...]

Melanie wasn't sure where Jason was, but she could sense him like he could sense her. The girl turned a corner, coming to a room where her brother slept.
