Chloe felt Edda pull her against him and she gave a small sigh, burying her head against his chest and closing her eyes.

“I... I was really worried...I wasn't sure if... if you'd... but Connor made it in time... I...”

The girl frowned, feeling a bit bad all of a sudden. She didn't often feel guilty, but when she heard Edda stumble through the words she realized that her near death experience really shook up her husband.

“I love you Chloe... please don't die on me...”

Chloe's eyes snapped open and suddenly she felt her eyes blur with tears. With Connor around the idea of dying was always pushed back pretty far in her mind- after all that man and his extremely handy ability to heal always meant she was safe- until now. She almost died. She almost left Edda to take care of Liam all alone. Hell, she almost left Liam without a mom. She couldn't imagine the boy's reaction....Instantly Chloe tensed up, moving her hands to wipe her still dirty face. She gave a little sniffle and shook her head.

"That won't happen, I promise" she mumbled. "I'l get stronger. Next time she won't catch me off guard...."

[...]

Both Sarai and Gem watched in silence as Connor made the call, both very curious of just who he was speaking to on the other end of the line. Neither questioned it though...

“They can send an Vertibird to pick us up and take us to Panem, but it's going to take some time... in the meanwhile, though, he did at least give us the address of someone who can help us while we're in New Vegas.”


"You must have friends in very high places Mr. Jackson" Gem said with a bit of a grin "In order to get a Vetibird...I'm impressed"

"Who is here in New Vegas?" Sarai added.

[Military Base]

It was pretty obvious that Kanna didn't take Rica's statement well.

"WHAT?! I'm stuck in this hell hole for more than tonight?" Kanna exclaimed, clenching her teeth and glaring at the man. "Couldn't we at least take the kids and stay at a decent hotel? I'm not cut out for the military bunker life"

"Oddly enough my mom has a point" Melanie pipped up "Is it safe here for the children?"

"Safer than getting blown up" Jason couldn't help but to interject, earning a hash glare from his sister.

Connor nodded towards Gem, rubbing the back of his neck. “One of the Rebels we met back in the day is the son of Panem's new President. I kept in touch with him, figured it wouldn't hurt to have some connections to the new government in case anything bad ever happened again... and it has.”

He sighed deeply, shaking his head. This whole situation still depressed him; but he knew he had to stay strong.

“He has a sister in town. He said he'd give her a call and she'd provide us with some protection until the Vertibird can be here.”

[Military Base]

“No chance in hell.” Rica shook his head. “Here we have hundreds of soldiers and weapons to keep us safe – at some hotel it's just us, and we could all use a good night's sleep without worry. Besides... staying the night here isn't nowhere near as bad as the Games, and you both survived that.”

Edda let out a long sigh, finally stopping holding Chloe as tightly as he did, pulling back a little to look down at her.

“Okay... I'm gonna hold you to that promise,” he said, smiling, “And I promise, next time, we'll both take her on... and take her out.”

-Military Base-

Walter nodded, saying a few last words to his mother before hanging up.

“Ohhh, we can have a big sleep over!” Erin said, clapping her hands happily and smiling. “That'll be fun!”

“The kids will be safer here then anywhere else...” Samuel said, finally speaking up, “There's armed soldiers around... and I'll be here to keep an eye on things. I don't need to sleep...”

Ethan frowned slightly, then turned to Walter. “I would like to get my daughter Maize here. She's watching Aaron and Adrianna as well, and if they're targeting us...”

Walter nodded, picking up his phone again.

-Flashback-

“I know... it does seem odd. Do you think someone else might have set him up?” Gallic asked, looking concerned. “We've never seen someone with mind control abilities before, but wasn't there a boy a Game or two ago who was invulnerable?”

“Good idea.” Rica nodded to Ethan. He leaned back, as he pondered the idea they were being targeted... it seemed possible that Nomura – if the strange machine was connected to her – had her sights on them, but she didn't seem to be the one responsible for the soldiers that attacked.

“We need to find out more about the mercenaries who hit the house. They weren't the ordinary rabble... their training and weapons were too good.”

[Flashback]

Autumn paused, staring at Gallic. He eventually simply shrugged his shoulders. “I couldn't say. There's a lot of abilities we have spotty records off. If it is some kind of set up, that's bad news for us.”

A rather grim smirk crossed his lips. “After all, you and I more than anyone else stand to gain given current circumstances. Doesn't look good.”

Kanna knew that Rica had a point, but it didn't stop her from glaring daggers (too bad they weren't real) into Rica for the next ten minutes.

“Ohhh, we can have a big sleep over!”

Kanna shuddered ".......Fun" Now she REALLY wanted Rica to die. "Do we at least have some booze here?"

"How about you wait to drink until after we've put the childre to bed?" Jason asked. In all truth he wouldn't mind a drink himself....Today had been....Stressful.

[Apartment]

Chloe nodded, wiping her eyes once more and grinning up at him. She may have felt like she was hit by a bus, but she was genuinely happy she was okay.

"Can I see Liam?" She asked (having no clue what time it even was considering she just woke up) "You said he's here too right?"

[...]

"You're a smart young man..." Gem said, now looking back to the papers she brought into the room with her. She looked a bit tired but tried not to show it. "Im going to finish gathering everything of Castor's we will need...I'll need to drain his accounts before too many people notice and pull out some of his assets that may come in handy. Castor was a bit too flashy for his own good, I expect everyone will be going after his money within an hour or two...."

She then handed Sarai, Paul and Connor a small plastic card. "They'll be loaded with thousands of credits soon. It's easier to get around New Vegas AND Panem with a bit of money to play with... Try not to spend it all in one place."

“Of course, he's sleeping in one of the rooms,” Edda said, getting up and supporting his wife, helping her to the room where Liam rested peacefully.

“He's a trooper, that one... Stubborn headed as you,” Edda smirked.



Paul took the card, looking it over before he placed it in one of his pockets, nodding to Gem.

He had remained quiet, listening, watching, as his per usual.

-Military Base-

“We're on a military base of highly trained, well disciplined soldiers,” Samuel said, looking to Kanna, “Of course there's going to be booze somewhere.”

Ethan frowned, “You know when I was in the Legion, alcohol was forbidden.”

“And how many still got it?” Samuel asked.

Ethan paused to consider the question, “...Less then you'd think, more then the higher ups would admit to.”

Galv sighed slightly, shaking his head. “We should get the kids to bed.”

-Flashback-

“That's true,” Gallic said, nodding to Autumn. “They might be working their way up. Deckard didn't have any powers, I have my pyrokinesis, so I'm a more difficult target. And you, well... it'd be hard to get to you.”

Gallic wouldn't deny that there was a slight urge to murder Autumn right now, even with all the witnesses. The two just did not get along.

“We'd better.” Rica shrugged. He hadn't been to this base, but if he knew one thing for certain it was that no officer worth their salt kept an office without at least some form of alcohol stashed away for the difficult days. He wouldn't mind sneaking around and trying to steal some if it came to that.

He glanced over at Ethan and shrugged. “Caesar tried to ban booze? No wonder they lost the war.”

[Apartment]

“Thank you Gem. We'll use it wisely.” Connor promised, hoping they could keep that promise eventually. He sighed deeply as he walked over and placed a hand around Sarai.

“For tonight I suppose we're better off to sleep... tomorrow we can see about getting Chloe back on her feet and then go find this contact. Gem, do you mind watching the kids tomorrow?”

[Flashback]

“Let them try. They come after me and that'll be the end of their little conspiracy.” Autumn smirked. He watched Gallic, wondering if there truly was a conspiracy... or if he was staring at the true conspirator. It didn't matter much to him at the moment.

-Apartment-


Chloe clung to Edda as he helped her up, the woman slowly gathering her bearings enough to slowly make her way out of the bathroom and to a small room where the children slept peacefully. Even Rue who had been up folding little paper flowers was now passed out beside her sister and best friend, clutching Liam's arm like it was a stuffed animal.

Chloe let out a breath of relief, smiling as she watched Liam sleep. she watched his small chest rise and fall until she was sure he was perfectly fine. "Oh miho..." she mumbled, wanting nothing more than to grab the boy in a monster hug, but knowing she would probably pass out from the blood loss if she tried that. He also looked so cute sleeping.

“He's a trooper, that one... Stubborn headed as you,”


"That's good, he's gonna need it to make it in this messed up world we live in"

[...]

Gem nodded "I would be happy to. I believe Edda mentioned his parents were attempting to make it here as well. There should be someone here to make sure they make it in one piece."

She then went to the closet gathering up blankets for the group. "Once again I apologize about the accommodations...But I hope you all can get some rest. If you need me I will be in the back getting Castor's affairs in order..."

Sarai nodded "Thank you"

"Of course, I am always happy to assist" and with that Gem disappeared in the back. When she was gone Sarai looked back to Paul and Connor.

"Do you think she's okay?"

[Military Base]


“Caesar tried to ban booze? No wonder they lost the war.”

Kanna couldn't help but to give a little laugh at Rica, straightening up before anyone could notice. She then turned to the children. "Okay, bedtime for anyone under eighteen....And Galv too- go to bed so the adults can drink and plan"

"Plan what?" Solanna asked, pouting.

"Adult things, like making sure we all don't get blown to hell-"

"KANNA" Jason exclaimed, scooping up Solanna in his arms "How about you not traumatize my daughter?"

Kanna shrugged "What? it's the truth!"

Jason groaned, looking at Solanna "We aren't gonna get blown up-"

"Your dad doesn't know that!" Kanna show back in a sing-song voice

Jason grimaced, looking to Melanie. "Get your mom before I kick her out of the bunker"

"Hey she's your mom too!" Melanie shot back

"You know what would get me to shut up? Liquor. Now someone get me some."

“Thank you.” Connor echoed Sarai's words, and when Gem disappeared, he could only shake his head to Sarai. He held her close, feeling that he needed that closeness now more than ever.

“... I doubt it. It can't have been easy to lose Castor, but she's holding together well. Unfortunately, there's some wounds I can't fix... I just hope she'll be okay.”

[Military Base]

“Alright, alright,” Rica raised his hands, trying his best to get some semblance of order. “Come on, Kanna. We'll go find some booze.”

Hotel

Jade hadn't slept much the night before. Not because she was uncomfortable in her current state; in fact the hotel Rouge had put she and Sire up in was rather nice considering they were only able to successfully accomplish half of their goal last night (ironically killing Castor had been easier than killing a bunch of dumb children). Instead it was because she was still waiting her next instructions from the woman. She still wasn't 100% sure why she wanted Connor Jackson and his family and friends dead- but she hated them all too so really what was the point of questioning it. She would be paid a lot when it was done AND she would have the joy of watching that damn man squirm as she drained him of all his blood.

But for now Jade sat on the window sil of their suite, lazily throwing very sharp knives into the wall about four feet away. Beside her sat a cup of black coffee and a box of chocolates which had been left for her last night when they got in. At first she assumed they were poison, but after forcing one down Sire's throat (are you really surprised?) she realized they were just a gift....This woman did know they technically failed right?

Oh well, no use in letting good chocolates go to waste.

[Apartment]


Chloe didn't remember falling back asleep last night (she suposed she could have also just passed back out) but the woman found herself waking up groggily in a rather comfy bed. Like before it took her a few moments to process the fact that she was actually alive, and a couple more moments to actually pull herself up on her own accord. When she did she blinked, realizing that she was covered with a ton of tiny pieces of paper....She wiped some sleep out of her eyes, inspecting the tiny pieces closer and realizing they were all tiny folded flowers. Sitting on the bedside table there was a little note, written in messy-but trying to be neat- kids handwriting.

Get well soon.
-Rue


Chloe couldn't help but to smile, brushing the paper off and pulling herself over to the edge of the bed.

"Okay....Time to stand up" she mumbled, running a hand through her messy hair before gripping the beside table. She then took a breath and forced herself up. For a moment she felt rather lightheaded, but to her surprise she was staying upright. "Sweet"

[...]

Sarai had been up for a few hours already, always one to be up before the sun (thanks years of being an Avox), and was busy cooking breakfast for the group. Luckily the fridge had been stocked with staples, enough for her to make eggs for the children and plenty of coffee for the adults. While most everyone was in the process of waking up she had yet to see Gem, not even sure if she was even in the apartment.

"Coffee?" She said with a small smile, offering a mug to Connor. "Today's probably a good day for it"

[Military Base]


Rica had been right, staying on the base was in fact safer- but Kanna couldn't help but to miss her slightly more solitary lifestyle.

Also known as she hated people and wanted her private space back.

With a groan the woman woke up, being poked in the face by Joyce who had somehow found her room.

"Grandma are you dead?"

Kanna gave a groan, swatting the little girl's hand away "No- i'm hungover. Go away"

Joyce wrinkled her nose but didn't relent "You guys stayed up late didn't you? You should have went to bed when I did, i'm not hung over!"

Kanna lifted her head, pressing some of her wild black hair down. "I don't think that word means what you think it means....Now bring grandma some coffee, black."

Joyce nodded, turning and leaving the room. "Mooooooommmma! Grandma needs coffee! She's hungover!"

“F*ckin' kids... f*ckin' annoying idiots too...”

Sire was his usual charming self; muttering to himself from where he sat at the table in the suite. He was currently occupying himself by cleaning a variety of knives and guns that were arranged on the table in front of him. He wiped down the blades, and then set about cleaning the inner-workings of the guns and loading them.

He glanced over at Jade, watching as she absently threw knives at the wall. “... Your aim is pretty good, but when do we get to target actual people? I can only attack drywall for so long.”

[Apartment]

After spending most of the last decade working as a doctor – and raising two children – Connor had adjusted to life with little sleep. Still after the insane day they'd had before, Connor found that he longed for the mug of coffee that Sarai handed him.

“Thanks.” He smiled slightly as he brought the mug to his lips and drank some, feeling the warmth of the liquid washing over him. It brought a shiver through him and he sighed happily.

“Thanks for making breakfast too.” Connor added. “I wonder if the kids are up yet?”

“... Your aim is pretty good, but when do we get to target actual people? I can only attack drywall for so long.”


"Your guess is as good as mine, Rouge hasn't called yet" Jade said, raising a brow at the man as she noticed his weapons laid out so perfectly as he cleaned them. "I don't think i've ever seen you actually take care of something like you do those stupid guns"

Even though she was playing it cool it was getting old sitting around waiting on some old broad to tell her who to kill. Rouge had warned her not to do anything without her word but that wasn't how Jade played.

[Apartment]

“Thanks for making breakfast too. I wonder if the kids are up yet?”

Sarai smiled watching Connor drink. She looked back towards the room and nodded. "I saw Rue a few minutes ago, I think she was washing up. Caitlin is probably still sleeping though"

As if on cue Rue poked her head into the kitchen shyly, looking around before realizing it was just her mom and dad. "Good morning" she greeted, pulling herself into the chair next to her father. She sniffed the coffee she had grown so accustomed to seeing her mother make for her father. "May I have some?" she asked, knowing the answer if she didn't continue. "Ummm for Liam's mom. It'll go with the flowers!"

"Flowers? Sarai asked, brow raised.

Rue nodded, hair flopping around her face. "I made them, I think there were like fifty...I put them on her bed super early this morning!"

Instantly Sarai groaned. "Love please don't bother Chloe while she's resting. She needs to sleep"

“Hey if you don't clean them, they won't kill people.” Sire shrugged. He was not known for his care in most situations – but when it came to enabling his ability to kill, he suddenly took care in things. He sat one of the guns down and then stood up, walking over beside the sill where Jade sat.

“You actually like taking orders from Rouge? Wouldn't it be more fun to just do what we want when we want?” Sire raised an eyebrow.

[Apartment]

Connor couldn't help but laugh a little as he glanced over at Rue. He ruffled her hair softly and then leaned back, sipping on his coffee.

“Rue I know Chloe will appreciate the thought but really you should let her rest.” Connor still couldn't help but smile a bit.

“Oh everybody's up!”

From the hallway, Caitlin suddenly poked her head out. She dashed across the room and over to her parents and sister, before quickly glancing at the refrigerator. “Is there breakfast yet? I'm sooooo hungry!”

-Apartment-

Edda yawned, waking up when he heard movement, having slept on the floor in the room Chloe was in, stretching and getting up himself.

“Good morning, sunshine,” Edda said, smiling as he saw Chloe was awake, “How are you feeling?”

The door opened up and a head poked inside, Liam looking in to check on his parents.

“Mama!” Liam yelled, seeing Chloe awake. He hurried inside, smiling happily, “Mama you're okay!”



There was a knock on the front door, before it opened with Paul stepping inside. There was movement behind him, and two other figures stepped in.

One of them would be hard for them to mistake, even though they hadn't seen him before. He was what Edda would almost certainly look like in about 20-30 years, a tall, broad shouldered man with a short beard, his blond hair almost casually graying, with bright green eyes. Next to him was a shorter woman with blonde hair herself and about the same age as the man, somewhere in her fifties, with blue eyes though.

Paul waved, then stepped aside.

“Greetings! Paul here brought us here,” the man said, grinning, “You must be... Connor and Sarai! Our son has told us all about you. And you two must be... Caitlyn and Rue? Liam has told us all about you.”

He grinned brightly at the group, then nodded, “Name's Bedwyr Adwr, if you hadn't guessed yet, Edda's father.”

“And I am Evelyn Adwr, his mother,” the woman said, introducing himself, “Paul told us we missed some excitement yesterday. Where is Edda, Chloe, and Liam, by the way?”

-Military Base-

Blake stood next to Kanna as well, having followed his sister there.

“...Does it hurt?” Blake asked quietly, staring with his slightly disquieting blue eyed stare.



Galv sighed softly, hearing Joyce yelling.

“...Can't we ignore your mother?” Galv asked Melanie.



Ethan had been awake for a couple hours, sitting outside, breathing deeply as he focused, mediating quietly.

"It would be more fun, but nowhere near as lucrative" Jade replied simple, plopping another chocolate in her mouth. "Change is coming, i'd rather be near a position of power when that happens....And when it does i'll give you the pleasure of chopping Rouge into tiny bits with your pretty little knives...."

She then grinned, obviously picturing the gruesome sight in her mind. "But until then we have to play nice....And just think, while we're playing nice you're also getting another go at those kids- as long as you don't screw it up again"

-Apartment-

“Good morning, sunshine, how are you feeling?”

If Chloe wasn't still wobbily on her feet she would have jumped as Edda spoke from the ground, the woman caught off guard by her husband (though she really should have expected the odd behavior by now). Instead, she plopped back onto the bed, as to not lose her delicate footing.

"Lightheaded, but better than last night" she answered with a smile. She then moved, lifting her shirt to display her midsection, her stomach it's usually tan color without even a mark from being shot. "I'm still blown away....It's like it didn't even happen-"

“Mama you're okay!”

Instantly Chloe's eyes lit up, the woman spotting her son in the doorway. She would have instantly gone to the boy, scooped him up and gave him the biggest hug ever, but she was pretty certain she didn't have the strength for that right now. She also didn't want to scare the boy if she flat out passed out halfway to him. Instead she motioned for him to come to her on the bed. "Of course I am miho, your mama will never not be okay!"

[...]

Plates of eggs were sat down for both girls, the children able to dig in happily to breakfast.

Suddenly. A knock.

At the sight of new people (even proceeding Paul) Sarai sunk back, going rather quiet. Rue mimiced her mother's action, looking to her father and Caitlin until the newcomers spoke.

"So you're Liam's grandpa and grandma?" Rue asked, suddenly looking much more excited to see them. She scrambled from her seat, rushing in front of them. "It's very nice to meet you, i'm Rue, Liam's best friend! I think"

“Paul told us we missed some excitement yesterday. Where is Edda, Chloe, and Liam, by the way?”


"It's very nice to meet you" Sarai forced herself to say (lest she be seen as rude in her silence). "C-Chloe was injured last night pretty badly, so I believe she is still resting." She said, motioning to the door of the room. "I believe Edda is still in there as well."

-Military Base-


Kanna was a sarcastic jerk (and kind a joke of a grandma) but she never felt right being brash with her grandson. The boy seemed....troubled....And she didn't want to add to that with sarcasm or rudeness.

"No Blake dear, i'm fine...." Kanna mumbled, forcing herself up now "Just tired....Very very tired"

[....]

“...Can't we ignore your mother?”

Melanie thought about it for a moment. It did seem tempting.

Suddenly Joyce spotted her parents, rushing over her dad. "Dad what's hungover mean? Grandma said she wants coffee because of it!"

Melanie groaned "I'll get it for her..."
