"So Lena had a contact with Brody and Belle both," thought Volodja and sent Sophie to Dinara again to warn, that Atticus should let someone to observe Lena too, but spare Kaj's feelings. Then he just watched the battle of giants, ready to interfere as soon as his help is needed. Although he had to figure out how to battle with spiked Volge, who was stronger than him...
"Improvise, improvise, improvise," pulsed blood in his ears, when his heart beat like a drum and his lungs were busy catching some air. Tiredness was in his feet already, making them soft like a dough and if that bullfight keeps going on like that, then he can't make that order and taste delicious...What the...? Must check on Lady and Brody...Deal...Could use some rest...Nerd was fine but Lady's locket glowed even more...and Sandy said that baby gets restless...Sophie had to run again and Atty should install saloon doors into his mind. That would make moving easier...And now back to the bullfight in case Atticus needs a helping han on arena...

The Were-Volge moved slowly through the sludge created by the bio grenade, but its red eyes remained fixated on Atticus. Suddenly, it leapead up, grabbing the long light fixture of the mess hall using it to swing towards Atticus before it broke from the ceiling. The Were-Volge landed in front of Atticus grabbing him around the chest with both clawed hands.
As the creature began to squeeze the breath out of Atticus, Lady stood up and yelled,"NO!" but as she moved forward, Brody sat up, blocking her and holding her back. Her locket however, glowed even brighter.

Getting Dinara's messagse from Volo and Sophie, I mentally respond to Dinara. "Pest send a message to Erika, to discreetly check on Lena Marr! Volo and I are a bit busy here! Not sure what to do about Lady and baby though! Let's hope Volodja comes up with something since I am about out of things to throw!!!"
Just then the Volge does a jungle swing from the Chandelier and grabs a hold of me. As the breath is squeezed from me, I look up at Lady yelling and order Brody to let her in, as I fight the urge to lose consciousness.

"Bloody hell," shouted Volodja seeing Atticus in Volge's hug and made a long jump, using a Chandelier to swing himself forward, like heroes did in old movies, holding table cloth in front of his body (it was partly thrown over his shoulders, so he could use his hands) and hoping that he wont get spiked when he lands on Volge. Almost...succeeded, because Atticus was in Volge's grip, but Volodja smashed in from other side and made her release her hold enough, so Atticus could get himself free. And Volodja received only some scratches doing that. Call it a lucky landing. Both of them together had enough weight to pull Volge to the floor and hold her down, wrapped into a bit torn table cloth. Volodja gasped air, but didn't release his hold. Atticus probably just hold her down, without gasping. Guy was much stronger than Volodja will ever be. And he weighted more, but Volodja could offer some extra weight at least...

Erika Widowmaker was on duty in the War Room when she had first received reports of the altercation in the mess hall. She made sure that a perimeter was secured around the mess, with a SWAT unit positioned around the door into the canteen. The snipers of the unit were ordered to not fire unless someone was directly being injured, and they had so far.
Erika thought it odd when she got the inquiry as to Officer Marr, all things considered, but promptly checked, finding that the visual recorded showed she had never gone to her quarters but had instead requisitioned a vehicle and had left the complex. She relayed the information back to the team.
Once that was done, she allowed herself the luxury to think, "Damn it! I was afraid of this!"

I spring to my feet after almost being crushed to death. Then I quickly dive down with Volo, ingoring my obviously, once again broken ribs Atleast this time Dinara is capable of helping heal them. Which I quickly ask her to. As well as asking her share the info Erika just gave me, to Volodja.

"Damn...it," Volodja gasped. "Let...us...finish....here....and...go...after.....her."
"Alfred. How far have you progressed cleaning the nanites?" was his next remark in a form of the question, sent through his EGO link. At least he didn't gasped doing that, but he probably needed lot of more to impress narky Alfred. But he could not lose the hope, because he had already a problem catching escaping air...

Post by Lady Christianna on May 1, 2015 15:31:05 GMT
The Were-Volge threw the two men off it like they were rag dolls, tearing the restraining cloth binding as if it was toilet paper. Suddenly as it stood up, it was confronted by the small skinny form of Lady Christianna, armed only with her locket which she clasped with both delicate alabaster hands. The purple light emanating from the locket no longer pulsated, but glared brightly placing a purple haze over the whole room.
The creature lost interest in the two men, then it did the unexpected. It nodded its great head twice, then laid down on the flow in fetal position, closing its red eyes and falling fast asleep. As its breathing slowed, it slowly transformed back into Belle Starr, he pretty freckled face looking peaceful in her sleep, her tousled blond head and naked pale body showing not trace of the blue spikes and blue scales that had covered them.
The purple light went out, and as Lady collapsed as if a switch had been thrown turning her off, Brody caught her lowering her gently to the ground, then asked, "What just happened?"
"The nanites are... gone!" Alfred answered Volodja in tired tone, "Except for those in the receptacle in Mr. Smythe's pocket."

I look at everything from my position on the floor as I hear Brody, and I cough up some blood. "What just happened? It appears that Lady's and my unborn child just saved Daddy's and Uncle Volo's asses by knocking out Aunt Belle! Thank you for catching Lady and gently lowering her to the ground. Now please get Erika's security team in here to help us all up and get Belle to the Med bay! As well as getting the contents of your pocket to Doctor Orion!!!
Volodja, I hope you can atleast stand because my ribs were crushed again so I need some help getting to my feet and perhaps you can find an unripped tablecloth to cover Belle." I roll to my side as I cough up more blood and try to stand unsuccessfully.

"Those little buggers will have a trip to the lab right away. Under Orion's care. He and Haele will have busy day at lab. Giant will look after Lady, I bet, as soon as I lift him up and you, Broderick, will give those nanites to uncle Volodja right away and then get me another table cloth to cover up Belle! It's in your own interests too. Teenage boys should avoid seeing wild dreams at night. Counsellor's orders. Damn it! We need a medic for the Giant here! So...Erika - get a medical team to come along with you, when you are coming, please. Atticus is down at moment and he needs help with his broken ribs. Lady has passed out and Belle is asleep but she needs a set of new clothes."
Volodja used his voice and EGO channel and he even would use post pigeons, if possible, to help Atticus, Lady and Belle. They were his family and he was last man....gasping at moment, so until Erika arrives everything will be up to him, so he put Atticus back to laying position and said: "Sorry Giant. My fault. Should told you right away about Lena, but I wanted to be sure, because Brody was on the list too..."

I look up at Volo and chuckle. Then wince in pain and cough up a little more blood. "Well I think we are sure now, that she is atleast involved in a big way. But not sure if she is a pawn or knight just yet, and it is just as much my fault and Taffer's and kaj's since we all wanted to trust and believe her. Now, I am sure Lady is fine, so please have her taken back to our quarters. Since I am apparently staying on this concrete floor and the remnants of my food fight a little longer." Then I just lay back on my side more comfortably and use a pile of crushed vegetables as a pillow as I wait for help up.

He looked at laying Atticus and Lady and sitting Belle whom he covered with the new table cloth, Brody just brought him. Then he started to hear heavy footsteps and sound of little feet. Erika was first to appear. Heavy steps belonged to security team and medics who rushed to Atticus right away, pulled him up, loaded to the cart and rolled to Medical Bay. Erika took care of Belle, making sure that she got properly dressed, while Volodja blocked them from the shiny eyes of Broderick. Orion was last to arrive as expected, when danger was involved. He received nanites as a last place award with strict command to start studying them right away.
Lady was Volodja's concern, so he took her light body to his arms and carried her...to Medical Bay instead of the cabin, where he put her down to the next bed of Atticus, asking his special girl Sandy to look after her and not forgetting to tell that he loves Sandy very much. He thought that seeing each other does good. to both Atticus and Lady.
Before to talk with Erika, who was busy with transporting Belle to safety after her medical examination as a security measure and arranging new shift of trustworthy people to protect her, Volodja returned to canteen and finally made his order to calm down Ralph by letting him do something useful, like the Zigeunerschnitzel, Volodja really wanted to taste. Volodja gave Ralph a recipe and explained how to make it. Getting Ralph back to his normal routine and accept new challenge was the best shock cure for him.
Broderick's cure was different kind, because Volodja had to pour some of his best brandy into Brody's throat and while they tasted schnitzel in a company of Ralph who made couple of extra portions, he had to listen Brady's stories about virtual dates and virtual mates and gaming et cetera, so he decided that Brody needs another portion of his brandy in a hope, that it will knock talkative poindexter out. His hope was vain, of course, but schnitzel was excellent. And brandy tasted good too...
After bullfight and wrestling match and a meal and a slight blood loss Volodja felt tired and sleepy and grateful to Erika, when she finally got him away from Brody's stories. Just in case he suggested Erika that Brody should be put observation too. After everything that happened, he started to feel really paranoid. And then he asked Erika, who was in commanding position, to take over the lead of the base, while Atticus is incapacitated and promised to follow her orders as soon as he stops bleeding, because his scratches were torn to open again...

While I am laying in the Medical bed, now unconscious, Dinara is my head working on healing me. Amber having left, so Dinara could focus on her job of keeping her suicidal "big brother" and host alive so he can get well and go be suicidal again. When she is certain I am fine and healing quickly thanks to her, with the added help from the healing algorithms that Doctor Orion has loaded in my Cyber Rig, Dinara takes the time to send Amber a message.
"Amber it was fun, being with ya! I hope we can do it again soon! And I really really do like you lots and love being with you! Will you be my um....a.....um....I understand if you say no because I am a little girl, hope you don't, so still gonna ask but um a here goes!" Dinara chokes a little trying to get the words out because she is still afraid of rejection and besides perhaps this isn't quite the right time. Afterall Atticus is unconcious with crushed ribs and a punctured lung! But with fear and loving emotion in her voice, she finally finishes her question. "..uh....So will you...um..... Will you be my girlfriend?! If not I hope we can still be friends! I hope you don't say no but understand if you do. Just hope I can atleast be your friend, but wanna be more! If it's the best you can offer then I will take it!!!" Then Dinara ends the message very reluctantly, but does so because she is afraid of Amber's answer, and Atty needs her attention right now!
Dinara quickly finishes the message, then sends one to Sandy, with worry and confussion in her voice. "Atty is asleep but healing. I hope Lady and baby are alright! Hope you are alright! I um I....uh...forget it. My issues can wait, but I um I need a hug from both my big sisters!!!" Then Dinara ends this message reluctantly as well.
Then she sends Sophie a message still with worry and confussion in her voice. "Hope Volo is alright! Hope you are alright! Don't wanna lose either big sister! And I um I need a hug from both of my big sisters really really badly!!!" Dinara also ends this message very reluctantly. Her messages sent, Dinara starts focusing solely on healing Atty and blocking everything she "feels" out.

Sophie wiped off imaginary sweat from her forehead and sighed. Volodja was creative as always, working against survival of the fittest theory and common sense. A Corrida with a Volge, which used lot of hid adrenaline and the swing jump afterwards which resulted with several scratches plus that pierced hand from his vain try to calm down Belle. And guy was still alive after all that! Hurt and tired, but alive, and Sophie had to heal him again. And then Dinara's stress call arrived, making Sophie leave Volodja immediately, because she managed to stop bleeding already and if Volodja has any sense left, then he will sit still for a change, although....he was brave and creative and tried to help others, so before she left, Sophie stimulated his nerves, simulating a kiss on a cheek. Arriving Dinara's purple room, she didn't hesitated much, but hugged Dinara for a long time as she was asking.

As soon as Sophie appeared and hugged Dinara, Dinara clung to her "sister". "Sophie! Amber was here! I picked this dress just so she could see me in it and she thinks I am beautiful! Thank you for the fashion magazine! Oh and the books I used as inspiration for my room! Amber and I talked and danced and talked and I really really really like her! When you came in for information, we were still enjoying each other's company! But she had to leave to talk to her mom.....um Erika, for Atty and so I could focus on healing Atty and helping him keep you and the others alive anyway possible, after all the bad stuff that happened in the Canteen! Hope everyone is alright! I sent Amber a message telling her I really like her and wanna be her........um girlfriend."
Dinara stops and looks up into Sophie's eyes for understanding and approval. With apprehension in her young voice she continues. "Hope it's ok with everyone that i like some girls that way! Anyway I hope she feels the same way! I know I said in my message to her, that I will understand and be fine if she just wants to be my friend but I like her too much to just wanna be her friend, but will if that's all I can get!"
Dina crumbles to the floor, crying at Sophie's feet, as she sobs out, "What if she says NO, what if she thinks I am tooooooooooo much of a LITTLE GIRL, OR WORSE!!! NEVER EVER WANTS TO TALK TO ME AGAIN?!?! It will be fine right?! She'll say yes or atleast keep being my friend, because she said I sing beautiful and am beautiful and she called me perfect, even though I am broken! Right?! RIGHT?! I hope she does cuz this is me and I Like me and really really really like her! All of you did say you like me for me and cuz I make everyone feel good! So please tell me it will be fine! I just wanna be near her and be fine!"
Dinara's crying slows a little but continues as she says, "Atleast I have my sisters! And we will ALWAYS BE SISTERS! Love ya and Sandy. Even if she isn't here yet, but understand. Lady and Baby come first, then Volo, then Atty, then the rest of the team, then other stuff...then me! Baby sister is last! ALWAYS LAST!! But still love ya both! So please keep being my sister and bestest friend! Sisters are FOREVER! But I still want Amber too, but not as a sister! As um.....YOU KNOW!!!" Dinara lightly blushes behind the tears, but keeps softly crying from the fear and stress and new emotions and admitting those emotions to Sophie, Amber and herself. As well as wondering but not knowing what Amber will say to the question, or what Sophie and Amber really think of her after her sexual revelation, and what Sandy will think when she finds out. As well as what Erika and Atticus, Amber's and her respective "parents', will think of it!!!
