“Down the street from here is a weapon's shop called The Silver Rush. They specialize in military-grade armor and plasma weapons. Really nice stuff. Top of the line. Extremely expensive. No way you could afford it, and trying to rob The Silver Rush would be suicide.”

Sarai had feeling she knew where this was going....And she didn't like it.

“... buuuuut, I have a plan to rob them blind. You help and you can keep enough weapons to help you deal with your situation, and I'll be able to smuggle you out of town with ease. What do you think?”

Yep. Much like with Castor so many years ago someone wanted to use them to help further their own selfish intentions. And this one sounded especially dangerous. But at the same time Haruka was right. They weren't going to get far with the weapons they had...Heck Chloe couldn't even best Rouge with SUPER STRENGTH. They were doomed without real weapons.

"So in order to keep our children safe we have to be criminals...." Sarai said softly, now watching Haruka with an intense stare.

[Apartment]

Gem wasn't one for long conversations, not to mention the woman still looked rather troubled thanks to the events of last night, so she left the children almost as quickly as she appeared.

Meanwhile Rue was still stuck on something. She grabbed Liam and Caitlin's hand, pulling the two out of the room as quickly as she could, heading to the room where Chloe was suposed to be resting.

They did a lot of tough things to ensure that you wouldn't have to do the same.

Chloe had been attempting to rest (though she was still pissed that she was being forced to) when she heard her door open. She carefully pulled herself up, staring as Rue popped her head in. The woman let out a small breath. "Mija-"

"What's the worst thing you and our parents have ever done?"

Chloe blinked, obviously caught off guard. "Uuuuuuum I don't think i'm allowed to answer that"

[Hotel]

"Good morning you two" She said with a small grin "Sleep well?"

Jade froze, wondering if the woman somehow knew of she and Sire's eventual plan of bypassing her and going to find Autumn's daughter....Surely she wasn't that smart.

"I always sleep well after pushing a guy out of a thirty story window" Jade answered casually, deciding to play it off cool. "The hotel room was pretty nice too"

"Glad you approve. I try to keep my employees comfortable"

Something about how she said employees rubbed Jade the wrong way....She wasn't sure what though.

"But there is still the matter of Mister Jackson and his friends still being alive....I'm a bit disappointed that you-" she then looked to Sire "-and your partner couldn't handle offing some children. It's really quite disappointing. And humiliating i'm sure...."

“I've heard of the Silver Rush before,” Edda said, looking towards Sarai. “They're mean, they're nasty, and they aren't the nicest people around. Much prefer the Gun Runners myself.”

He didn't add to Haruka that he probably could front the bill, but if he threw around that kind of money, anyone looking for them would be able to zero in on that very quickly. Plus he wouldn't want to give money to the Silver Rush if he could help it.

Lily gave him a quizzical look, Edda shrugging. “I grew up around here, in the Wastes. This isn't my first time in New Vegas.”

-Apartment-

Liam followed Rue as she took his hand and where his mother was resting, looking towards her as she asked her question, then back towards his mother.

“Uncle Paul, do you know?” Liam asked, looking back towards Paul who had followed the kids. Paul paused, then nodded. “Can you tell us?”

He shook his head.

“Criminals? You want to talk about criminals?” Haruka raised an eyebrow. “Gloria Van Graff, the woman who runs The Silver Rush – now SHE'S a criminal! She and her brother Cass are monsters. They'll sell the most dangerous weapons to anyone with enough caps. They kill people who fail them, and they've murdered a number of people here in New Vegas.”

She shook her head. “They want to get more powerful. With enough time, they could try to become major players. Trust me – ripping off these guys isn't the worst thing in the world.”

[Apartment]

When Rue dragged them to the room where Chloe was resting, Caitlin was quiet – until Rue asked the question. Her eyes widened, but she stayed quiet.

“No! Tell us! I wanna know!”

[Hotel]

Sire raised an eyebrow as Rouge appeared. He simply shrugged.

“You think it's easy to kill them? Come on, these aren't just common street trash. Jackson and his buddies took down Augustus Autumn – and that guy had a literal army and nuclear freakin' weapons!” Sire complained.

“Look, you want them dead? Fine. But no more playin' around. We gotta hit 'em hard. No pulling punches.”

"Stealing from criminals doesn't make it any better" Sarai shot back, not happy with their options. "But....If that's what we need in order to defend our children from Autumn's daughter and that Rouge woman...."

She looked to Connor. Whether he liked it or not he had always been the leader (of sorts) of their group. Even now that they were adults, it seemed like he had the deciding vote. Perhaps it was because out of all of them he had lost the most.

[Apartment]

"Oh come on guys you know i'm already on thin enough ice with your dad, I doubt he wants me telling you stuff like this" Chloe said with a groan, knowing if she started spilling secrets about Connor and Sarai they'd probably be PISSED. She and Edda had been pretty truthful from the getgo with Liam, but even he didn't know everything.

"Miss Chloe...Please" Rue insisted "What kinds of things did you guys do so that we wouldn't have to"

"We did those things in hopes we wouldn't even have to tell you guys you know" Chloe said, trying not to look too frustrated. "You guys are still too young"

"No we aren't"

"Yes, you are. I'm not going to be responsible for giving a bunch of kids nightmares. Mijo will have my head if I do-"

She paused, coughing a bit. That was probably not the best choice of words, but she doubted the girls already knew about their grandparents' fate.

[Hotel]

Augustus Autumn was one of the greatest military minds of the last fifty years, and was knwn even past the Enclave for his brutality and brilliance....But in the end he was a arrogant fool with a bit too much pride for his own good. I expect you to be better than a man who would rather take his own life in the presence of his enemy- than fight to the death."

From her spot Jade narrowed her eyes. She had worked for Autumn for quite a while. This felt like an insult.

“Look, you want them dead? Fine. But no more playin' around. We gotta hit 'em hard. No pulling punches.”

"I agree, that's why I need you both to find someone for me. Autumn's daughter. Kuvira."

From her spot Jade raised a brow. Either this was a creepy coincidence or Rouge had been listening in.

“Of course stealing from criminals makes it better!” Haruka laughed, dismissing Sarai's angry glare. “Think about it this way... any weapons we take from them are weapons they can't sell to someone who would use them on innocent people.”

Haruka had an unorthodox logic, but was used to justifying questionable decisions to herself.

Connor could only sigh. “It sounds like we'd be making MORE enemies. And if these Van Graff's are as bad as you say, I don't see how that helps us...”

“Eh, the Van Graff's are a local problem. Once you're out of New Vegas you don't have to worry about them.” Haruka grinned. “Come on! You need my help, I need your help! I can get you out of town without the weaponry, but what will you do if Rouge finds you?”

Connor glanced at Sarai. He didn't like the sound of this at all... but he wanted to be prepared if Jade or Rouge went after their children again. “... I think we have to.”

“Fantastic!” Haruka exclaimed in a sing-song voice.

[Apartment]

“We already have people trying to kill us, and they killed Mr. Castor.” Caitlin pointed out, crossing her arms. “That's enough for nightmares already... I just wanna know the truth.”

[Hotel]

“Autumn's kid, huh?” Sire found this especially suspicious given the earlier conversation, but he simply shrugged. “Fine. We find her. Then what?”

Edda coughed slightly. His father, and to a lesser extent himself, had made a living by selling tech they took from Raiders... After shooting them. Granted, the Raiders always shot first, but still.

“Okay, so what do you need us to do?” Edda asked, looking towards Haruka.

-Apartment-

Liam had heard quite a bit from his parents about what happened... and his own experiences growing up, while no where in the vicinity of the terror of the Games, he was at home with surviving in the wilds.

“My mom still isn't feeling well,” Liam said now, coming to his mother's defense. “We should let her rest... Come on, let's go talk to my Uncle Paul. He's got a cool power he could show off!”

Chloe gave Liam a weak smile for his defense, the boy was always so kind and just wanted to protect his mother. Despite this she gave a sigh, looking to the girls. "We all did lots of bad things before you guys were born- your parents included. But you have to understand "For every bad thing there a a dozen good. That's especially true with your dad. I'm pretty sure he's still set on the good karma track for all of it."

"Dad killed people..."

"We all did, but we did end up helping save the entire world" Chloe explained. "And we only killed when we had to"

Rue blinked, trying to understand the scale. She knew nothing of the world before she was born. Liam probably had a better idea. "And they were only bad people?"

Chloe thought about that for a moment.

Rue frowned at the silence, but then looked to Liam "Yeah, lets go talk to Paul"

[The Atomic Wrangler]

Sarai leaned in at the obviously nervous Connor. Still not more nervous than her though.

"I feel like we may need Chloe for this..." she mumbled. Even injured, Chloe was super strong, and could probably play the muscle that they would need.

[Hotel]

Rouge grinned, giving a small shrug, "I simply....Wish to talk with her. Perhaps make her an offer"

So you aren't already working with her?" Jade asked, brow raised.

"I have met her before, but it was a long time ago. When she was much younger. I doubt she remembers me, but I remember her. And from what I hear her father would be proud of how she became"

Haruka grinned. “The Silver Rush is just down a couple more streets. Big building, armed guards out front. And before you can enter, they'll make you give up any weapons on you, and store them in a big box next to the door. Makes it hard to rob 'em...”

She shook her head. “But that's not such a big deal, the real problem is inside they have an old Enclave Pylon attached to the ceiling, so even if you have powers, it will suppress them.”

Connor frowned. “And you're going to rob this place? It sounds insane.”

“I never said it would be easy... but... you guys are famous, right? You were in the Hunger Games back in the day, and big heroes during the revolution. If you guys walk in there, I'm sure you could get a meeting with the Van Graff's. Then all you gotta do is take one of them hostage somehow and boom! Once you have one of them as a hostage, you can loot all you want!”

“This is a bad plan.” Connor frowned, liking this less and less the more he heard.

[Apartment]

Caitlin frowned. The idea that her parents had killed people just seemed so... weird. Her mom was so quiet and lame, and her dad was the exact opposite of a killer. It was so unbelievable...

She tugged at Rue's sleeve. “Is it really true, you think?”

[Hotel]

“Whatever,” Sire shrugged his shoulders. “You want a meeting with her? We'll make it happen. Though...”

He paused, looking at Jade. She had worked for Autumn, and in the end, she had survived when he had not. Sire wasn't sure if Kuvira would be happy to see Jade... or furious. Not that it mattered much – worst case, he and Jade would just have to kill her and escape.

“Any idea how to find her?” Sire asked.

Liam lead Rue and Caitlyn to another room, where Paul was waiting.

“Uncle Paul! Can we ask you some questions?” Liam asked. Paul looked to the three, then nodded, Liam looking towards the two girls.

-The Atomic Wrangler-

“That's a plan that will get us all killed,” Edda said flatly, staring at Haruka. “What's the point of this? Do you want them dead, or do you want them out of the way? Or maybe just discredited? Because if that's the case, I may have an idea.”

“Is it really true, you think?”

Rue gave a tiny nod to Caitlin. "I mean, mom did tell us that the reason she couldn't talk when she was little was because she did something bad...I wonder how bad you have to be to have something like that happen to you"

“Uncle Paul! Can we ask you some questions?”

"How much do you know about our parent's and what they did as kids?" she asked meekly.

-Hotel-

Rouge paused. Jade could have sworn a look of frustration over her face.

"That's....Where I need you. No one knows where she is, not anymore."

Jade raised a brow. "So she's in hiding?"

Rouge shot Jade a look. "Do not underestimate her. That woman is ruthless, moreso than her father some say"

"I'd like to see that" Jade said, rolling her eyes. "But fine, we'll go ask around. If she's as badass as you say she should at least be impressed that we offed Castor"

Paul glanced towards the three, signing towards them, while Liam translated.

“Ummm. 'I knew Liam's father very well growing up, we were practically brothers. But it's about the Games I think you want to know about, right?'” Liam translated as Paul signed.

Haruka watched Edda for a moment, her grin slowly growing. So they weren't as dumb as they looked.

“I want access to their arsenal – everyone does. The Van Graff's have the kind of weapons you'd normally ever find in the Enclave, and even then in the higher echelons. It's a mystery how they got so many... rumor is back in the day they used to buy them from a crazed general.”

She shook her head. “That kind of weaponry is dangerous in this town. It's much better off in my hands.”

[Hotel]

Sire shrugged.

“... Fine, we'll figure something out. How hard can she be to track down?” Sire was always one to underestimate everyone.

[Apartment]

“Yeah!” Caitlin interrupted. “I mean... our parents never talk about that stuff, but I know something had to happen. I mean now there's all this crazy stuff going on... so come on, spill the beans!”

Rouge was silent for a moment, but then grinned at the two. "I trust that you two will."

She then handed them a phone. "Contact me once you find her and i'll be there"

Jade took the phone and then watched as Rouge left, once again leaving she and Sire alone. She couldn't help but to feel a tiny bit on edge but the woman would never admit that. Instead she went over and grabbed her coat, looking over to Sire. "Well I suppose it's time to find this Kuvira woman...And it looks like Rouge is putting her trust in us to do it.....Her mistake."

[The Atomic Wrangler]

Sarai listened quietly, finally standing up and heading to a back room away from the others. For once it wasn't because she was nervous or overwhelmed, rather she needed to make a call.

Even if she was still recovering they were going to need Chloe's muscle to get this done. Not to mention the woman would surely murder them all if they left her out of this.

[Apartment]

Chloe had almost dozed off once again when this time there was a chime from her side table. The woman gave a small groan and grabbed at her phone, placing it to her ear once she realized it was Sarai. "Yeah?"

"C-Chloe are you feeling okay?"

"Never better" she said with a tiny strain, pulling herself up "You guys okay?"

"Well....We may have an issue."

From her spot Chloe raised her brow.

Edda was quiet for several minutes, frowning as he considered things.

“So what do you think they'd do if some wealthy NCR guy came up to them and wanted to talk about business dealings?” Edda finally asked, “Think they might be willing to meet with them somewhere more private?”

-Apartment-

Paul looked at the three kids, then signed carefully, Liam translating again.

“'The Games were very terrible. Edda and I didn't grow up with them, but he was captured when he got too close to Panem's borders, and was thrown in as a snub to the NCR. Those Games in particular were pretty bad. I won't tell you any specifics. That's for your parents to say. But I will say that there are old wounds that haven't fully healed, and they don't want you to have to go through the same thing.'”

“Well, come on then.” Sire shrugged. He didn't care much for the power struggles that Rouge liked to play. Still he couldn't fault Rogue's abilities or her resources. There was a reason Sire had agreed to work for her – and it wasn't just for Jade's sake.

[The Atomic Wrangler]

“That could work...” Haruka rubbed her chin, thinking over Edda's proposal. “... but I can't do it. My connections to the NCR are problematic enough in my line of work.”

She eyed Edda for a moment. “Can you pass as someone wealthier and more important than you obviously are?”

[Apartment]

Caitlin frowned, listening to Liam's translation. It sounded like the Games were a terrible thing... but no one ever wanted to tell her details. She's a kid. It annoyed her, but there was something about the look on Paul's face...

“I don't get it...”
