I can't see what you're imagining
-Castor's Apartment-

Liam stared at Caitlin like she was insane.

“Forget the pillow fort?” Liam asked, “Why?”



Edda took his drink but didn't drink it, at least not yet, frowning as he listened to Castor and Gem.

“...Maybe it was some former Enclave person?” Edda suggested, thinking, “We did a lot to help take them down. We were on their mobile base, remember, helped take that down, and that was one of the last holdouts.”

-Flashback-

Edda frowned again, staring at Chloe.

“Yes, we do... Are... you from the Legion?” Edda asked carefully. He hadn't hit on that Chloe was a girl, but his parents had warned him about the Legion. They weren't suppose to be anywhere near them, but it was still possible.

-42 Years Ago-

Gallic smiled softly, nodding towards her, “I'll be right behind you.”

As Rin headed up the stairs, Gallic walked along and stopped at one console, staring at it. He held up his hand and focused, his telekinetic power activating. If he remembered right...

Rin might here a small squeal of metal, Gallic tucking away some small piece of computer into his jacket, before he then hurried after Rin towards the top floor.

“Forget the pillow fort?” Why?”

Rue sighed, glaring at Caitlin before looking back to Liam. "Because she's a trouble maker" she answered, knowing what happen last time they listened to things they weren't suposed to. "She wants to get us all in trouble"

Though even though she didn't want to admit it Rue was curious too...

[...]

Sarai sat back, fiddling with the hem of her jacket nervously. She didn't want to mention that this whole conversation was stressing her out, but it was.

"I suspect you may be right Edda" Castor noted, "Though how she knew about you, and why she cares is still up in the air"

"Well there's Jade of course" Chloe started "Or maybe she knew Autumn. He kinda had it out for Connor since like day one"

Sarai instantly glared at Chloe, not happy with that man being brought up. Autumn was litterally the worst thing that had happened to Connor. Even after all these years the man who killed his parents was an extremely sore subject"

-Flashback-

Chloe blinked, shaking her head. "I was from the Capitol" she answered "But now I live here...Well not here...Not this far out..."

She then frowned "What kind of weird people live all the way out here in the desert?"

Probably not smart to insult your only source of water.

“Don't be dumb, Rue!” Caitlin frowned, furrowing her brow and placing her hands on her hips. Her sister could be such a wimp sometimes. She just shook her head. “You realize what happened back, home, right? We almost died! Someone tried to kill mom and dad! I wanna know what's going on!”

[…]

Connor clenched his fist the moment Autumn's name was mentioned. That man was responsible for the greatest horrors Connor had ever endured. He had watched his parents die, he had been tortured, and he had been forced to kill – all because of that awful man and the Enclave he fought for.

“... Why does this keep happening? Didn't we earn our happiness? Why can't they just leave us alone...”

[42 Years Ago]

It was a quick, but quiet trek up the abandoned stairs and eventually to the upper floor. Rin was silent, focusing on how close she was. Soon they were in one of the old executive offices, and Rin hurried over to the massive serves at the side.

“This is it...” Rin whispered. She walked over and connected the Pip-Boy to the server. After a few moments, something popped up – something downloaded onto her Pip-Boy. A moment later and wall at the side of the room opened.

On the other side was what appeared to be a mannequin – but there was something oddly mechanical about it. Rin walked over and immediately ran her hand along the 'mannequin's' side.

“It was real... I knew it. I knew it was possible. Project Synth. Oh, the wonders of the Old World...”

Rue hated when Caitlin had a point. And she would absolutely NEVER tell her older sister when she did. It would just fluff up her ego and make her do even more dangerous things that would probably get them all in trouble. But the point still stood- whatever the adults were talking about in that other room was the reason someone set fire to the woods of their house...And was probably about that insane lady who came after their parents.

Rue sighed, looking to her sister. "Fine, but if we get into trouble you have to take the blame"

[...]

"Unfortunately life is hardly fair" Gem said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "The best of people are often dealt the worst of cards."

Castor then looked to Connor "You are sure that Autumn perished that day right? I mean there's no way he-"

"He shot himself in the head" Sarai interrupted, taking the chance to speak in place of Connor. She did not look amused. After all she knew what that man did to her husband. Her daughters would never know their grandparents because of that man. "He's dead. No one can survive that"

Someone tell that to Rica.


Castor nodded "Vey well, though my point still stands. Chances are Madame Rouge is working with someone you know, probably Jade, who wants you all very much dead. And chances are they won't stop until that happens. I propose we team up, kill two birds with one stone if you'll excuse the cliche. We could be done with it by weeks end if we put our minds to it."

"And what about the kids?" Chloe asked, finishing off her drink "We sure as hell ain't leaving them here for you to babysit"

"Better than having them on the front lines getting shot at Ms. Sanchez " Castor shot back cooly.

"Adwr"

"Bless you" Castor grinned.

"Oh don't be a smart-ass" Chloe hissed.

“Fine, fine,” Caitlin grinned. The older sister was used to being in trouble. For some strange reason her parents seemed to hate it when she had fun. “Then let's figure out a way to hear what's going on! And Liam – no squealing!”




“... I hate the idea of going off and waging war against this Rouge person and Jade... but it seems obvious they'll come after us anyway. And I don't want that woman near my children ever again.” Connor was firm.

His eyes narrowed further. “I won't let anyone endanger my children, and anyone who does, I will do whatever I have to to make them pay. ANYONE, Castor.”

The implication was clear. If they were to leave their kids in Castor's care, then Connor would hold the man responsible.

“I won't let anyone endanger my children, and anyone who does, I will do whatever I have to to make them pay. ANYONE, Castor.”

"I wouldn't expect any less" Castor said, looking unwaivered by Connor's silent threat. "You help us with our task and I will guarantee you that your children will be safe."

"Fine fine, what do we do now?"

"We set a trap"

What possibly could go wrong?

[...]

"What are they saying?" Rue asked...Somehow the three ended up in the air vents above the adults. Because of course they did.

Edda paused, glancing towards Chloe when she used his last name as her own, then smiled slightly at that.

It also gave him an idea. And it also reminded him he was the only one here of his friends that had parents that were alive and nice.

“What about my parents?” Edda asked, “We could contact them, have them show up and help watch the kids. They'd be more then happy to. And I could get Paul to help us as well. They're in the NCR right now, so they're not out in the middle of nowhere.”



Liam paused, listening in as he, Rue, and Caitlyn were in the vents.

“Something about a trap? And my grandparents...” Liam said quietly, trying to listen.

-Flashback-

“The capitol?” Edda asked, wrinkling his forehead in thought, “You mean Shady Sands?”

Which was the capitol of the NCR, where Edda was mostly from.

“We're out here because there's stuff to explore, and old world tech to find,” Edda then answered, “It's how we live, we're explorers!”

Edda seemed very proud about this.

-42 Years Ago-

Gallic followed behind Rin, eyes wide.

“Project Synth was real...” Gallic muttered to himself, not quite believing it, shaking his head. “This is what you were looking for?”

“What about my parents? We could contact them, have them show up and help watch the kids. They'd be more then happy to. And I could get Paul to help us as well. They're in the NCR right now, so they're not out in the middle of nowhere.”


Gem raised a brow, looking to Edda. "Do you really think you're parents would be okay with what you will be doing?"

"Edda's parents are surprisingly chill with stuff like this" Chloe answered, running a hand through her hair. She looked to her husband "Call them, i'd rather them take the children than-" she motioned back at Castor.

"Hey! I'm hardly useless you know!" Castor countered. "I built an empire"

"And almost got us killed. A lot"

[...]

"Where are your grandparents?" Rue asked, realizing she had never met her best friend's grandparents. She never really thought about it before now, as she didn't have grandparents herself.

-Flashback-


Chloe blinked, very much confused. "Shady what?"

Suddenly a shot rang out in the air and Chloe jumped, looking around. She then turned to Liam. "If you're with us you need to go. They're gonna come with guns, make sure we can fight. And you're gonna get shot. Probably in the head"

It as hot. She really didn't even know how far she was gonna get with people shooting in the (almost) darkness.

“They taught me pretty much everything I know,” Edda told Gem, grinning brightly, “You have a phone that can reach the NCR here?”



“They're back in the NCR,” Liam answered, then paused, thinking, “I bet they'd love to meet you, Rue! And you too, Caitlyn!”

-Flashback-

Edda paused, jumping slightly when he heard the gunshot, one of his hands reaching towards his own gun.

He looked at Chloe, then paused, pulling out a small, folding knife, then handed it towards her.

“Here... you're welcome to come with me, if you want, but if you can't, here's something you can use to defend yourself,” Edda offered.

"Of course" Castor answered, looking to Gem. The woman gave a nod and left the room for a moment. She then returned with a phone, handing it to Edda. She was also carrying a case....She popped it open and displayed an array of guns.

"I though we should get started right away"

[...]

"That's a lot of guns..." Rue noted, looking down.

-Flashback-


Chloe blinked as Edda offered her the knife. She didn't take it. "That's not allowed. I'll get disqualified. Anyways if they show themselves I don't need the help. I'm stronger than any knife"

Literally.

Another shot. Chloe closed her eyes, biting her lip. "How far away do you live?"

Edda looked over the guns for a moment, frowning a little, and just glanced towards his own bag, then dialed the phone.

“Hello? Hey mom! Listen... I need you and Dad to do me a favor... Can you come to Panem and watch over Liam for me, and Rue and Caitlyn? ...That's right, Liam's friends, Connor and Sarai's kids. Yes. Mmm-hmm... And tell Paul to get his butt over here too. Okay, yah, the address...”

Edda gave the address, then hung up.

“It'll take them a couple days to get here, but they're coming,” Edda said.



“My dad has more then that,” Liam said, nodding his head slightly.

-Flashback-

“I live very far away,” Edda answered, “In the NCR, out west. Ummm...”

He paused, then pointed in a direction, “We have a camp that way. It's past some ridges, it's hard to see until you get right on it. If you want, you can come with me... I'm sure my parents would be happy to help you.”

"Very good!" Castor said as Edda hung up "You all are welcome to stay here until then and rest up. I would warn you from wandering too far from my apartment though, as i'm sure Jade hasn't given up on trying to kill you all"

Sarai gave a small nod, looking to the side. She wasn't a big fan of being 'trapped' like this. She needed space. But she would manage.

"Meanwhile please enjoy the building, Castor has spared no expense. Training rooms, saunas, gyms. Everything you could ever need"

"Geee it's like you were expecting to host us" Chloe noted, brow raised and obviously still suspicious.

Suddenly Sarai stood up. "Ummm may I lay down somewhere?"

Gem nodded, motioning for her to follow "Of course, follow me"

-Flashback-


Another gunshot and Chloe jumped once again. She very much wanted to go with the weird boy (as her other options were quite bad) but she knew she couldn't.

"I...I can't. I have to stay here or i'll fail. Bad things happen if you flunk out of my school" Chloe stated, looking downtrodden. "And you'll be even worse off if you're out here with me....I should go...."

She then eyed his canteen "But can I have some of your water first? I still have two more days out here"

“Sounds lovely,” Edda said dryly, pausing and glancing towards the air vent, staring through it very hard, raising an eyebrow, then turned back to Castor.

“You have some good guns here, and I have my own, but we'll need more then just guns. Can we talk equipment?” Edda asked.



In the vent, Liam froze.

“My dad knows we're here, abort, abort!” Liam hissed towards Rue and Caitlyn, “Get back to the room!”

-Flashback-

“Okay then,” Edda said, holding Chloe out his canteen, “Take as much as you want. And...”

He paused, then pointed towards a nearby cactus, “If you need more later, you can get water from those. You gotta open them up, and be careful about the needles.”

“Yes.” Rin answered as she stared at the crude android in front of them. Her attention was focused almost entirely on this machine, and she didn't pick up on most of what Gallic said.

“RobCo was home to some of the greatest geniuses of the old world. This was one of their most secretive projects; machines that look, sound and even act like human beings. Had it not been for the Solar Flare, they could have advanced this project ahead long enough to create Synthetics that could have passed for the real thing.”

She paused. “Naturally, the Enclave would just weaponize this technology. Spies, soldiers, there's all manner of military implications... but I have a much grander goal in mind.”

Now she turned to Gallic, and her demeanor had changed. “... I'm afraid I can't let Autumn know about this. So this must remain a secret. Now for the moment of truth... can I trust you, Gallic?”

Suddenly the temperature in the room had plummeted. A thin layer of frost was already slowly spreading across Gallic's skin.

“... Convince me that I can, because I would much rather have you as an ally than a corpse...”

[Castor's Apartment]

Caitlin was intrigued by the news of meeting Liam's grandparents, but her eyes had found a much better prize – the case full of guns. She had always wanted to play with one of those, but her father kept them strictly locked up.

Maybe Castor was less security minded.

When Liam warned them she wordlessly hurried back to the room, but now she had a plan.

[…]

Connor was a bit concerned as Sarai asked about laying down, but he kept his focus on Castor, Edda and the guns. He was getting more uncomfortable with this by the moment.

“Fine. We'll stay here...”

Rue scurried to follow Liam, rushing out of the vent and back to the room. She gave a tiny sneeze as they emerged and wiped her pants of dust but grinned, totally unaware that her older sister now had a new target.

[...]

"And what kind of equipment would you be needing?" Castor asked, raising a brow to Edda

Chloe perked up "Oh! How about grenades? Or a tank- a tank would be good! You're rich right?"

"I'm rich, not stupid young lady"

[...]

Meanwhile Gem showed Sarai to a room in the back, the woman grateful stepping in and instantly moving to sit on the bed.

"Please let me know if you need anything at all" Gem said softly "And Mrs. Jackson, there is no need to worry-"

"Oh it's alright, it's second nature for me to worry" Sarai answered, trying to give a small smile. "Not to mention the situation kind of warrants it"

Gem couldn't help but to smile. "That it does. But I am now more confident that you all are here. Castor is too"

"Hopefully we can help..."

"You are all stronger than you give yourselves credit for Sarai. You just need confidence"

-Flashback-


Chloe took the canteen and took a long gulp of water before pouring some over her messy hair and face. Even though it was slightly warm it tasted amazing compared to nothing at all. She looked to the boy before giving a little smile. "Ummmm thanks" she said, quickly handing the canteen back while looking away.
