I can't see what you're imagining
-The Atomic Wrangler-

Lily raised an eyebrow at Haruka. “If you think it's weird, that's saying something.”

She smiled, then nodded towards Haruka, moving forward and kissing the girl quickly before heading out the door.

“Don't worry, I'll be safe,” Lily said, heading to...

-Silver Rush-

Lily walked up to the Silver Rush, looking at the guards outside.

“I'd suggest getting one of the Van Graffs,” Lily said. “I come representing someone who would like to make a serious investment in your shop here...”

-Ultra-Luxe Room-

“Yah,” Gallic said, looking at the man carefully. He then eyed the strange devices, running his hands over them.

“Explosives?” Gallic asked. “That's excessive. Fine.”

Gallic wasn't too worried about being exploded. He had gone through a lot after the Flare...

He soon got everything on, still frowning slightly. “Can we go now?”

-Military Base-

“...I don't wanna...” Blake said after a moment, clutching Samara's hand tighter. “I don't wanna make my friend disappear...”

[The Atomic Wrangler]

Connor phone buzzed, and he quickly picked it up.

“Hello?”

[Kuvira's Garage]

Kuvira smiled slightly. Jade could prove extremely useful, and if she was as loyal as she claimed... this could be exactly what she needed to begin retaking the Enclave.

“Good. First thing is first, we need to deal with the Van Graff siblings. Gloria Van Graff is not someone to underestimate. She's a shrew business woman, but she never hesitates to kill anyone who gets in her way. Her brother... he's a loose cannon. Dangerous and bloodthirsty. I don't believe I can do business with them.”

She paused. “The woman at the Ultra-Luxe is another matter. Without knowing anything about her, I can't decide if she could be an ally, or if she needs to die too. For now, we'll focus on the Silver Rush. I need to take care of the Van Graff's... no one is allowed to take weapons into their building, but you... you don't need weapons.”

Kuvira smiled. “Deal with them. Permanently – but do not damage the weapons in their building. Those I can use.”

[Silver Rush]

The guard raised an eyebrow, looking at Lily. He was sure she was the girl from the Atomic Wrangler – but he decided not to argue with her. He just nodded towards a large crate at his feet.

“Any weapons you're carrying – they go in the crate. If we find you carrying inside the shop, you get blasted into a puddle of plasmatic goo. Don't test the bosses.” He said, and then once Lily had deposited any weapons she had, he opened the door.

Inside was a large room, filled with weaponry. Plasma rifles, laser pistols, several grenades, EMP devices and all manner of high-tech weaponry – the kind of stuff once employed by the most elite of the Enclave's goons.

Two people oversaw the room.

“Alright, you want to talk about... investments?” Jean-Baptiste Cutting narrowed his eyes, watching her carefully.

“Come now, Jean, don't be rude. I've always time for investors.” Gloria Van Graff scolded her brother as she came up from behind the counter.

[Ultra-Luxe Room]

“Explosives? Aw, no, nothin' like that buddy. Don'tchoo worry about it.” The man shook his head. “You don't need ta understand the science behind it.”

Once the devices were secured on Gallic, the man walked back to the wall and pressed a few buttons. “A'right, don't worry now, you should be just fine... almost nobody ever dies doin' this.”

Gallic would suddenly feel the cling of static around him, and then a bright flash – and his body would feel unbelievably light...

and then...

[The Institute]

The next thing he would know, Gallic was standing in a completely darkened room. The walls were metal and plain, with nothing close to a window, no sign of light and no visible door. The only thing to break the darkness was the glowing lines of the bracelets, anklets and collar – all of which were slightly smoking now.

Then a door opened at the far side of the room, a door that had previously been almost impossible to see, and Synth walked in.

“. . . You identified yourself as Taichi. I have just one question, it is imperative that you answer it honestly. Are you Don Gallic?”

As the woman was leaving, Lavan got himself together enough to say his own parting words.

"You forget, lady... You can't just look at the forest. Cause if that happens, you lose sight of the fact that the forest is just a bunch of trees... And the forest wouldn't be there if the trees didn't stand..."

He looked up at the synth, the fake skin that he was accustomed to seeing now, the blank eyes, the somewhat mechanical movements.

"... You're still creepy, fake-person."

Rin left, without another word, but she sighed. The Synth however looked down at Lavan without a word.

It did not speak, but it did activate the shackles on Lavan's chair. They slowly retracted back into the chair, leaving Lavan now free – although with a super-strong robot still towering above him. “Stand and present your arms. Do not resist or you will be hurt.”

-Silver Rush-

Lily had come unarmed (though she had her electrical powers), and smiled as she approached the Van Graffs.

“I do,” Lily said, producing the gold bar and placing it with a loud thud on a nearby table. “I represent someone who is interested in your goods, and getting them in a regular fashion. He can offer more then this as payment.”

She stepped back to let them examine the gold bar themselves.

-The Institute-

Gallic paused, finding himself in a new place. This... certainly was new...

He pulled at the bracelets, anklets, and collar, working to take them off when a Synth walked in. Gallic eyed it carefully.

“Technically, I said I worked for a Taichi,” Gallic said, feeling a bit annoyed now, “As for who I am...”

He pulled a large, sharp knife from his pocket. The knife glowed slightly, then cut through his other hand.

The severed hand burst into flames, soon disappearing into cinders, as the stump where his hand once was regrew into a new hand in a matter of moments, Gallic flexing it and grimacing slightly.

“That always hurts like hell,” Gallic muttered, looking back to the Synth. “That should be sufficient to say I'm Don Gallic.”

“. . . This isn't how I envisioned this moment going.”

From beyond the Synth, a voice called out. The mechanical-man moved to the side as the woman strode into the room with a weary look in her eyes, and a bit of Lavan's blood still on her coat. While she had certainly grown older, there was no mistaking her.

Rin watched Gallic for a moment, a frown on her lips. He had seen better days, but she was well aware of his past, and knew that this was hardly the first time he had crawled out of the remains of society.

There were a great many things she wanted to say; but she would save them. She was sure he had some questions.

[Silver Rush]

Jean-Baptiste raised an eyebrow at the bar, but his sister moved forward in an instant and examined it. She bent close, looking at the gold, and then whistled loudly.

“You don't see too many like this anymore. Old world quality. Original serial number still intact... very impressive.” Gloria announced as she looked back up to Lily. “If your buyer can pay like this, you've got yourself a deal.”

Lavan was still recovering from Rin's... Particularly nasty power usage when he was told to get up and present his hands. Having tried to escape these superhuman soldiers several times, Lavan already knew that it would be a wasted effort to try and resist, especially with his powers still somehow suppressed and his hand currently useless.

"... Yeah, seriously, guys. You need to start writing better material. These repetitive comments and threats are just BORING now, you know? Can't you be, I dunno, poetic about it? Create limericks? Or maybe haikus? Hell, a little song and dance routine? The old cartoons were always fun for those."

He stood up, stretching just momentarily before presenting his hands.

"And this obsession with hands? You REALLY need to check that out with a local psychiatrist. That's a very unhealthy fetish."

[Institute Halls]

The Synth said nothing, not reacting in any way to Lavan. It reached down and restrained his hands with metal cuffs, and then pulled him to his feet and forced him beyond the door. The hallways beyond were desolate, white and immaculate – it resembled some darkened, murky hospital.

Soon enough, though, Lavan might have realized the Synth was not taking him back to his cell. Instead it took him down halls he had never seen before, and then into a room.

There was a woman standing in the room. An older Asian woman in one of the Institute jackets.

“... We don't have a whole lot of time. My name is Madison Li.”

She introduced herself, as she walked over to Lavan and injected him with something. “Take this.”

She shoved a small data disc into his pocket. “Information. I don't have time to explain and you don't have time to argue. I can't just let you walk out of here, Nomura will have me killed, but you're going to escape. I'll take off your cuffs, give you a laser pistol. The garage is one floor below us, you can get a vehicle and get out. There will be a LOT of Synths, if they see you, you'll probably be killed.”

She uncuffed his hands, and then handed him a laser pistol. “Go.”

Gallic paused for a long moment, staring at Rin. It was her... older, but unmistakably her. He was aware that he himself had barely aged, but of his regenerative abilities keeping him young.

“Rin... you're alive... I heard your name but...” Gallic said, for once a loss for words, struggling to figure out what to say, what to ask.

“All these years... you never got into contact with me...”

-Silver Rush-

Lily nodded, taking the gold bar and slipping it away into her bag again. “He definitely has more. We'll need a place to conduct business. And my buyer would like to keep this on the down low. He is, of course, willing to pay more for discretion. Somewhere out Freeside would be best.”

[The Institute]

Rin took a deep breath. Normally there was nothing that could shake her. The most brutal violence didn't phase her one bit. Pain had rarely ever bothered her. Even thinking about Don and Nanami rarely bothered her... but now that she was face to face with him, it all came back at once. Her entire body shook and she felt decades of repressed emotion all wash over her.

She paused, composing herself, and then at length she spoke.

“... I'm sorry. There are a great many things I didn't tell you, and I've deceived you in many ways, but know that I did genuinely love you. That was never fake.”

She shook her head. “... There's... a lot I should say. This is The Institute. My family has ran it since it's inception – just after the Flare plunged the world into chaos. It was a vault beneath MIT. We had technology untouched by the Flare, and we hid. When the Enclave grew out of the old American military Vaults, we watched them in silence. We studied our technology, letting it improve, using it to hide.”

Rin stopped. She had rarely spoken of The Institute to anyone, but she knew any interest Gallic had in this was nothing compared to her being alive.

“Sorry... I just... I need you to understand the context. We have been watching the world since it fell apart. You especially know what that's like... when we saw the Enclave come to power, I wanted to investigate. At the time, my father ran the Institute. He allowed it, so... I infiltrated. Joined the Enclave as a scientist. The plan was for me to use the Enclave to gather information to improve the Institute's tech. Then... I met you.”

She frowned, looking over to him and biting her lip. “You and your grand visions. Rarely has there been anyone as inspiration as you, Don. You opened my eyes to the fact that this world needed strong leadership to save it. I wanted that to be you, but... well, after things with Autumn went so badly and I was cast out to the slums... I knew I couldn't help you anymore, so I knew I had to return.”

She paused. “... The 'me' who died in the Slums was a Synth – Synthetic Humanoid Android. I'll explain them later, if you care to learn, but... I'm rambling. Sorry. The point is I faked my death. I couldn't just wallow in the slums, and I couldn't have you distracted by worries about where I was or how I was, it was easier for me to be dead.”

[Silver Rush]

Jean-Baptist immediately shook his head. “Not a chance. We only deal here. It's safer that way, so if your buyer doesn't want to come here then that's too b-”

“Brother,” Gloria cut him off with ice in her tone. “My apologies. Jean-Baptist is our head of security and he takes his job very seriously. Normally, we wouldn't agree to something like this... but we can make an exception.”

“Gloria-” Jean-Baptist started to protest, but one cold glare from his sister made his blood run cold and he fell silent.

“When can your buyer meet? We can be ready as quickly as in an hour.”

[Streets]

"Miho, it's me" Chloe said instantly, relieved to hear him. She still needed to thank him for saving her life whenever she got the chance." "Where the hell are you guys? Paul and I are coming to meet you."

[Military Base]

"Make her disappear." Kanna repeated, still watching both Blake and Samara intently. "She isn't your friend. She's not real."

"Mom..." Melanie frowned, knowing the boy wasn't going to react well to this. "Dont ma-"

"Make her disappear." Kanna repeated again. "You control her. You know that Blake"

[Kuvira's Garage]

I need to take care of the Van Graff's... no one is allowed to take weapons into their building, but you... you don't need weapons.”

Jade couldn't help but to grin. She could stab a man in the heart and crush his lungs all without picking up a weapon. "That I don't" she said "Even Sire can do some damage without his guns...Though he won't be happy about it"

“Deal with them. Permanently – but do not damage the weapons in their building. Those I can use.”

"Consider it done" Jade said confidently. "I'm assuming Rouge will not know about this little side project then?"

[Atomic Wrangler]

Connor was relieved that Chloe was on her feet again, but he didn't know how Edda would react to her coming. Still, he knew better than to argue with Chloe.

“We're at a bar called The Atomic Wrangler, in Freeside. It's, uh, interesting... but we've got some help here for us, and we're planning a way to get out of New Vegas.”

[Kuvira's Garage]

“I see no reason to tell Rouge.” Kuvira smirked slightly, and then she became a bit more stern. “Don't underestimate the Van Graff's. They may not have powers like you or I do, but they are very cunning, and very dangerous, and their weaponry is the same my father's men used back in the day... but I have no doubt you can handle it.”

Eliminating the Van Graff siblings would help Kuvira's takeover of New Vegas, and the weaponry would make her larger military campaign a true possibility.

-The Institute-

Gallic was silent for a long time, taking in what Rin had said. It made sense... Rin had always been good at manipulating Pre-Flare tech, but he had simply chalked that up to her intelligence, but if this was true...

“...Why didn't you tell me before?” Gallic finally asked, stepping forward towards Rin. “We could have... we could have planned things, figured things out. Instead...”

He shook his head, remembering the past. “I almost picked you. I could have either gotten you out, or helped Nanami in those Games. I chose to help Nanami and I carried the weight of your death on me for years...”

-Silver Rush-

Lily smiled, looking at the van Graffs, thinking.

“Outside of Freeside,” Lily answered, “The buyer wants to test the product, and we can't really do that in town.”

-Atomic Wrangler-

“Who is it?” Edda wondered, glancing towards Connor. He knew it couldn't be Paul, at least.

-Military Base-

Blake was quiet for almost a minute, his face screwed up in concentration.

“...No,” Blake said again, shaking his head. “I might be able to control Samara, but I don't wanna control her. It wouldn't be right...”

[The Institute]

Rin watched Gallic carefully. She didn't know how he would react to any of this. Secrets she had kept buried for as long as she had known him were now in the light – one of the biggest being that she was still alive. None of it would be easy for him to accept.

She shook her head when she actually spoke. “I couldn't have told you, Don. At that time the Institute was run by my father, and all he was interested in was the technology. He wanted no part of your vision for Panem, or the world. I did. I saw potential in you, I saw the chance to change the world. That's why I followed you, and why I fell in love with you.”

She frowned. “... however, if I had told you about any of this, the Institute would have had you killed. I supported you the best I could with my hands tied.”

She listened as he spoke about that terrible time, when their daughter was in the games and she was supposedly dying in the slums. She sighed. “... I knew you were strong enough to take it.”

[Silver Rush]

Gloria watched, considering the possibilities, and then she nodded.

“... That's acceptable; however we'll be bringing extra protection.”

Gallic frowned, though it was aimed at Rin, instead shaking his head.

“I doubt they could have killed me, but there are other fates I could have suffered,” Gallic said, then returned his attention to Rin. “I take it you're in charge now, no father to get in the way?”

Old ideas, old aspirations were beginning to rear up again. A new start, with Rin, they could... no... he knew where that path lead. He promised Nanami. He knew he was partly breaking that promise by returning, but he had to... but he couldn't try and impose his vision on the world again.

-The Silver Rush-

“Of course. I feel like I should warn you, the buyer is rich, but skittish. If they see too many of your men, I believe they would be inclined to take their business elsewhere. They talked about the Gun Runners as a second option, but they preferred energy weapons over kinetic ones,” Lily lied, keeping a straight face. One bonus of all her time with Haruka meant that Lily had an extremely good poker face.
