"I know, trust me I know" Chloe said, moving forward and looking up at Connor. "How about this, Edda can train the girls. Hell, he can give me a refresher on shooting because lord knows I need it after today. He'll make sure they can protect themselves and then we can focus on Jade and this whatever woman who is trying to kill us."

It probably wasn't the most ideal plan of action but it was all they had right now.

"This shouldn't be happening to you guys. You and Sarai have paid your dues ten times over. Unfortunately fate is kinda a b*tch and we're stuck with this shitty hand. So lets get it over with as quick as possible miho"

[...]

"Please no more shooting, you're too young for this" Sarai mumbled, finally loosening her grip and pulling herself up carefully. She then looked to Castor "I'm s-sorry for the mess"

"No worries little bird. We were coming in to tell you we may have found where Jade is holding up, and it's actually within the city if you can believe it!"

"Our lead could prove false" Gem added as she (begrudgingly mopped the blood) "But our leads state it is in fact her"

[Military Vehicle]


Kanna didn't appreciate the snarkiness, so she punched him hard in the arm...But nodded. "Touche you asshole"

Gallic smirked slightly, nodding slightly. “Yes, all good questions. I suppose I should tell you some of my past then.”

He shrugged his shoulders, his eyes getting something of a faraway look to them as he remembered his past.

“I grew up in an orphanage... No parents, no siblings... maybe that ended up being a good thing, considering,” Gallic started, “I focused on school, and got a job at Rob Co, and worked my way up, being an executive there. I was part of their space projects, focusing on weapons technology. I was in the office when the Flare hit. I was working late, doing some last minute adjustments and checking the codes. The lights and everything just went off, and the building shook. Something... happened to me, I collapsed in my chair. When I woke up it was light, and still nothing worked. I went out and everything was... chaos... a few buildings were on fire, there were people running everywhere. It took me a while to get my bearings, but... well, my powers gave me a definite advantage.”

Gallic paused, then shook his head, “I rescued a few people, and eventually found the Enclave as I headed east, and joined with them. Only other person who knows all this is Claire Douglas... She's... well, descended from someone I saved back then.”

There was quite a bit he wasn't saying, of course.

-Castor's Apartment-

“Sarai, I am so sorry about this,” Edda said to Sarai, “I'll talk with Chloe myself as well...”

Edda felt terrible about what happened.

“...As for Jade...” Edda said, glancing towards Sarai, then the kids. “I'll check it out. I won't engage, just look into it. Give me the address.”

-Military Vehicle-

Samuel was knocked back, glaring a the robot but remaining on his feet.

“So you can be hurt... I can't,” Samuel growled, then charged forward again, trying to keep up his advantage, throwing several blows at it, trying to hit it with his fists, feet, knees, elbows, anything he could land a hit with.



“It might not be a set up,” Ethan said, “We could just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The person who sent us to investigate claimed to not know what was going on around here... So perhaps we've just found out what's going on. As for the kids... they should be warned. Galv might even be our best bet to take out one of these robots, he could overload them.”

“...As for Jade....I'll check it out. I won't engage, just look into it. Give me the address.”

Sarai's eyes widened "You shouldn't go alone, it's Jade they're talking about. She's dangerous."

"I must agree with Sarai, Jade is not one to take lightly. If she bloodbends you'll be dead in less than a minute" Castor aggreed, though he did start to scribble an address on a piece of paper. He then handed it to Edda. "I suggest you take Connor"

"Bloodbends? What's that?" Rue asked, now standing beside Liam once again.

Sarai paled "N-Nothing love, nothing to worry about"

[42 Years Ago]

Rin was left silent as Gallic finished his tale. It all seemed so far fetched, and yet she didn't doubt it for a moment. She was confident he wasn't telling her everything, but they hardly had time for 'everything' and besides, she knew the importance of keeping some secrets.

“Quite the story. The things you must have seen and experienced... I'm almost envious. Though I think your best days are ahead of you.”

She watched him carefully. “I believe we can help one another quite a bit.”

[Castor's Apartment]

Connor just let out a final, defeated sigh. He hated being in this position – again. He looked down at his blood-stained hands and knew this would not be the last time he felt the bile rising in his throat from the sight of blood encasing his fingers. He just hoped it would be the last time that blood would be Caitlin's.

“You're right. We need to do what we can.”

[Military Vehicle]

“Maybe.” Rica nodded towards Ethan. “But I'm not very trusting. We need to find the woman who paid us to do this and figure out what the hell is going on, because if this IS a set up, then somebody needs to die.”

[…]

The machine was struck repeatedly by Samuel, and slowly it seemed like the damage was building up. More and more of the false skin fell off, and the machine beneath was moving slower. Then, finally, it stopped. It was still standing but it did not move.

Then, without any warning, it exploded.

The blast was enormous and strong enough that it blasted the vehicle backwards, knocking it on its side and making it skid across the ground.

[…]

“SH*T!” Rica had just enough time to yell as the explosion tossed the truck in the air and then onto its side.

Chloe couldn't help but to smile "I'm always right don't you know that?....Well....Except for like twenty minutes ago. Speaking of which Edda probably wants to yell at me now so we should probably head back-"

She motioned for him to follow back into the room, but stopped in the doorway as she noticed Castor and Gem.

"Ahhhh Chloe, Connor just in time. Your friend here just aggreed to go stop Jade for us-"

"He agreed to recon, and I still don't think you should go alone" Sarai corrected.

Chloe raised a brow, looking to her husband "I second that, you're not going alone"

[Military Vehicle]

The robot's blast was so strong that Kanna just about flew from the car she was in as it skidded on it's side. Luckily she held on like crazy, keeping her head low.

She was going to be sooooo sore in the morning.

Connor frowned, feeling annoyance rising in his head again. There was a dull ache over his right temple.

“You're not going after Jade alone. If she finds you...” Connor could still remember how painful it was to have his blood frozen in his veins. Or the air stopped in his lungs. Jade was a terrifying monster, and Connor had hoped she was dead.

[Empty Road]

“Ugh... you two still alive?” Rica called from the front seat. Several large, jagged pieces of the windshield had stabbed into his face and chest, and he was currently leaking blood at an alarming rate.

Gallic nodded, “Yes... I think we could help each other quite a bit. I'll need your help getting a way to contact the satellite in orbit... and I have the codes to activate it. But it'll take time to build up forces loyal, and to gain the Presidency... Snow isn't leaving yet...”

-Castor's Apartment-

“I wasn't saying I was going to kill Jade. Just check out the place. Is it a house, or a building like this one?” Edda asked, “If it's here in the city, there should be plenty of cover... as for going alone...”

He glanced towards the others, shaking his head. “Going against Jade one on one is suicide... but how good are you all at laying low? The best chance we're going to have to take her out is to lure her out where we can snipe her at long range. If she can't see me, even if she can bend blood at that distance, she can't stop a shot from my anti-materiel rifle.”

-Military Vehicle-

“I'm fine,” Ethan grunted, pushing himself up on his cane, looking over at Kanna. He pushed his hand through the metal of the car, breaking through it almost easily, pushing it down and making a hole he managed to crawl out of, then bent down to help Kanna through.

Samuel coughed, much of his clothes in tatters and his weapons destroyed, but he was still standing there.

“Okay, so they explode,” Samuel said idly.

"It's a penthouse, one way in and one way out...Much like this one" Castor answered. "Though it's surrounded by other buildings so if you're sneaky enough you may be able to shoot from one of them"

Chloe raised a brow "So we dangle some bait, get her to come out and play and then shoot her in the face with an anti-materiel rifle?"

"Chloe!" Sarai exclaimed, motioning to the children.

Chloe rolled her eyes "Fine, I like that idea better than my husband going in alone. I'm more than happy to be the bait"

"I fear Jade won't be willing to come out of hiding for you" Gem mentioned "You're not an important enough kill"

"Well damn, way to shoot down my ego" Chloe shot back. She then eyed Connor.

So did Sarai.

So did Castor and Gem.

Gulp.

[Empty Road]

"I'm alive I think...." Kanna mumbled, looking back up. From the blur in her vision and the wetness on her head she could tell she was bleeding. She wiped her face and got to work pulling herself out of the mangled truck, taking Ethan's hand. "Son of a b*tch....That hurt" she mumbled, rubbing her back and looking around.

“Okay, so they explode,”

"No sh*t Sherlock"

[Flashback: Enclave Building]

Time flowed on. Gallic and Rin conspired in secret, slowly arranging the pieces like a chess board. Waiting for the perfect opportunity. Yet fate can be cruel, and sometimes even the best laid plans could be destroyed by chance.

“The answer is no, Nomura. I've given you enough time. More than enough.” President Snow peered at Rin with a disapproving frown. He had, for years, heard promises of her grand projects – and yet for all of it he had yet to see true results.

“I'm close. Close to a major breakthrough. I just need-” Rin argued, her usual calm demeanor broken and replaced by anger.

“NO.” Snow repeated himself. “You had every chance in the world. Still I don't have a working Synth. The Enclave could use that technology but I won't waste another year's funding on it. Colonel Autumn has some wonderful proposals and-”

“Autumn!? You're going to cut my funding and give it to Autumn? The man is a braying idiot!” Rin could feel the anger surge. This threatened everything. She needed her research for the plans she had so long worked on.

“Nomura, get out of my office before I call secur- ah... augh...” Snow suddenly clutched his forehead. Pain surged through it. “Wha... I... what are...”

He collapsed on his desk. Rin simply watched, breathing heavily. The tiny blood cut in the President's brain – formed when a bit of his blood was suddenly frozen – would have killed him by now. She took several deep breaths, calming down, and then picked up the phone on Snow's desk and dialed Gallic's number.

“... We have a slight problem.”

[Castor's Apartment]

Connor sighed as he saw every eye turn towards him. Jade was obsessed with killing him. Surely the best bait would be him... and that meant seeing that crazy woman again. Hopefully for the last time.

Fine.” Connor sighed. “But... Edda, you can't miss. It's been ten years since I've been in a fight – not counting earlier – and I don't think I can take Jade.”

[Empty Road]

“They do? I never noticed.” Rica dryly noted his sarcasm with Samuel. “We've agreed we need to get in contact with Melanie and the kids. Whoever is after us could go after them.”

"I-I can shoot"

Eyes turned to Sarai who still looked rather flustered, her cheeks pink. The woman cleared her throat, trying not to stutter "I know how to shoot a gun...So Edda can show me how to shoot the rifle...T-That way Connor wont have to be alone"

She looked to Edda with a worried frown. She couldn't handle Connor taking on Jade alone, so this was her best idea.

[Empty Road]

Kanna groaned, looking around "Alright then...How do we get a hold of them? Are there payphones out here or do we start walking?"

Because someone sure as hell needed to carry her.

-Flashback-

Gallic had been working, just finished talking with a young and upcoming soldier in the ranks, taking some time to go over the talk when his phone rang. It was Snow, it seemed.

He picked it up, and instead of hearing the President, he heard Rin's voice...

“Rin? Why are you calling from President Snow's phone?” Gallic asked, concern in his voice.

-Castor's Apartment-

Edda paused, looking over at Sarai, then shook his head.

“It's not like a regular rifle, or even exactly a sniper rifle. It was made to be able to punch through armor,” Edda said, “It's loud and it's dangerous... I use it because it's one of the few things that can put a Deathclaw down from range, and even then, sometimes you need a couple shots. I can teach you how to shoot it, but it will bruise you. It bruises me when I fire it properly even. It could break your arm if you're not use to it.”

He smiled though, “But some back up would be nice. I could use a spotter. Chloe could go with Connor. Her super strength could take Jade by surprise...” Edda suggested, “Or get Connor out of there if worse comes to worse.”

-Military Vehicle-

Ethan patted his pockets, then pulled out his phone, which was thankfully not broken. He had his specially made so it was more durable.

“My phone still works... but we're out in the middle of nowhere, I'm not getting much of a signal,” Ethan said, checking it.

[Flashback]

Normally, Rin would be worried about talking over the phone. The lines were usually tapped – but Snow's line she knew was private.

“Snow is dead.” Rin stated as calmly as she could. “It was unavoidable. He was going to cut my funding, ruin everything I've been working towards. It will appear to be a brain aneurysm. Natural causes. Should hold up in an autopsy, but still...”

[Castor's Apartment]

“I might feel better with Chloe with me... but I think the most important thing is for you to take Jade down the second she's out in the open.” Connor pointed out.

[Military Vehicle]

“We'll have to walk. I doubt this thing can drive again.” Rica sighed. “But we'd better hurry. I don't like any of this.”

"Ooooooh I would like to snap that crazy b*tch's neck" Chloe said with a slight grin- only to be glared at once again by Sarai. "Whhhhat no one here can say she's NOT a crazy b*tch"

"While that is true perhaps we should get the children to bed and you can prepare for the task at hand" Gem offered "I imagine Edda's parents will be here soon, and until then I will protect them with my life"

While Gem worked for a slightly shady, sometimes nutjob, she was extremely dependable.

Chloe nodded, taking Liam's hand. Sarai did the same with Rue and Caitlin.

"We'll tuck them in, you guys get ready" Sarai said softly, looking to Connor.

A moment later Rue rushed from her mother's side and hugged her dad tightly. She then made him lean down to her level. "Be safe. And don't let anyone get hurt" he said simply, kissing the man on the cheek. While she didn't totally understand what was happening she couldn't help but to be a bit nervous.

-Military Vehicle-


Ethan's phone was a good thing, but also a bit of a bother. Kanna didn't know if she wanted to talk to her daughter....Mostly she didn't know if she wanted to bring her into this mess....of course if the mess was going to come to them anyways-

Though luckily there was no signal! Or unluckily?

"Rica you call your daughter, when we have signal I mean...." she decided, stubborn as ever.

-Flashback-

Gallic was quiet for a moment, thinking.

“...Who knows you were speaking with Snow? Did anyone see you come into his office?” Gallic asked, “And how soon could you get to my office?”

-Castor's Apartment-

“It will take a couple days for my parents to get here... We have travel between the NCR and Panem, but they'll have to take the train,” Edda said, “But until then...”

Edda bent down to Liam, giving his son a small smile. “Be brave, okay? We'll be back soon.”

Liam paused, then hugged his father, who hugged him back, Liam then turning to his mother Chloe and hugging her as well.

Edda then straightened up, turning to the others, “We should look around the area before we try to engage. If it's too risky, we'll pull back.”

-Military Vehicle-

“We better get moving,” Ethan said, moving forward surprisingly fast on his cane, back the way they came.

Samuel took a minute to tidy himself up, glad his pants weren't destroyed, but his shirt was pretty much in tatters.

“I go through way too many shirts,” Samuel muttered to himself.

“No one.” Rin replied. “The meeting was off the books. I'll be right down.”

She wiped the phone for her prints and then placed it on the hook. She hurried out of the office, making sure to avoid people as much as possible. After a few moments she stepped into Gallic's office and took a seat.

“... I didn't plan this.”

[Castor's Apartment]

“Don't get shot, dad. It's not fun.” Caitlin said as she followed her sister. Connor sighed, leaning down and hugging the girls.

“It's going to be fine, okay? Just promise to behave for Miss. Gem, alright?” Connor kissed their foreheads and then stood back up.

[Military Vehicle]

Rica started off with the others, occasionally checking his phone for a signal. He knew this could all be trouble and he didn't like it.

“Are you and Melanie not speaking again, or something?” Rica asked. He always worried about the two of them.
