!Rose nodded her head and continued down the line of soldiers. The destruction changed each time. It was a quick twist of the shusuken into the neck or a slow painful bleed out. "This is the price you pay." It wouldn't take her too long to finish. She looked at the bodies in front of her then looked to the second guard she took with her.
"Burn it to the ground?"
"No. I want !Armok to find his wolves strewn about in their own viscera." !Rose stepped over the bodies and walked out into the dark. She was covered in blood. "I apologize if my methods offended you." She was speaking to Z.

Z shook his head. "Don't be. In times like these you have to do whatever you could to gain a single step. If anyone understands that a thief would. I'm not offended. It's just not my style." He smirked. "My style is much more devious... and long lasting. I like my ways and my children and grandchildren seem to have come around. There is nothing you can say with a sword I can't say without a well timed prank." He bit his lip. "Michael's really fond of you... and stubborn as an ox... but he is what he is and I am what I am. I'm not going to try to apologize for you all the time like he seems to do... I'm not gunna try to fix you when you don't need to be fixed like he does." He scratched the back of his neck. "He needs help and I really hope Bianca makes him change."

!Rose nodded her head and walked along, energy burning the blood off of her skin. She glanced at him. "He needs to be with her more than me." Honestly.

Z nodded. "The guy needs more friends... point blank... I'm sure you're a blast, but he's die hard in the bonds that he makes. In school he only had like 3 friends. I had like 90% of the school. We are like night and day... but I can't blame him... he never had people who showed him affection. I honestly don't think he knows how to handle it, but you'd know that better then me... I made his life hell... you made his life heaven for a while. He's a great guy if and only if he could let himself get out of his own way. I can't believe I'm saying this... but Armok is right about him... he's too fucking human."

"Maybe cause he is human? And only human?" She glanced at Z. "As are you. He's emotional. Way emotional." !Rose sighed quietly. "That may be one of the reasons we're not together anymore. It became too much too fast." She shook her head. "I'm happy he's with Bianca though. She's perfect for him." She smiled. "Also, you and Lianne are unbearably cute."

Z tilted his head from side to side. "I may be human with him, but he's Mother fucking Teresa... a sad self martyr who has to be everyone's best friend. I pity him... He lost you for all the wrong reasons, but he has to move on... people move on... I bet that Sarah is still on his mind too, Rose. It's not just you. Fuck... I bet his first girlfriend is still on his mind. Love is not the same for him that it is for you or me, it's his blood and air. I think it's a shame." He looked at her and smiled. "Lianne is an amazing person. She made me honest for the first time in my life. To someone like me that's huge. It's not just that she's a loving woman, she's adventurous and she's a fighter. She could school the likes of anyone here in sneaking and stealing. I love her for every bit of her, and I've never done that before. She stole my heart right from under my nose, handed it back, and accepted it when I gave it to her again."

!Rose was like SUBJECT CHANGE WOOOSH. "Oh I know she could. When we first built our underground base and you two signed up, I denied her a room because she was being the same snotty brat I met in that courtroom nearly forty years ago." !Rose kinda smiled. "You know what she did? Stole the master keys to the North Wing, rerigged my system and you two camped out in my room for two weeks and locked myself and everyone out until we gave you guys a bedroom. I was pissed. But looking back on it, it was clever and hysterical."

Z smiled. "yes... but that snotty brat is her. It's who she's comfortable being. It's who I told her I wanted her to be and to hell with anyone else telling her to change. I never saw her happier then our first bike ride. She was free... and it made me happy that she was seeing the world again with stars in her eyes. Potential over flowed her cup and she drank from it all trip. I don't take credit for it, she was waiting to fly again. I didn't unclip her wings, she did that on her own. I joined her and I'm happy I joined her. She makes me happy, and though we still do bounty hunt... no amount of treasure will ever equal her heart to me. She changed the way I see this world." He smiled again. "Honestly..." He bit his lip. "I know I'm going to have a daughter with her... but the thought of that is very intimidating. I love her so much... but when it comes to her and I for the first time... I'm bashful. I don't want to ruin anything we have by moving too quickly. Obviously we get there eventually... but I don't know what's going to happen when we do get there. She's such a beautiful person... without a doubt in body as in mind, that's not the issue. I'm afraid of messing it up with that. I told her she has me doing many, many, firsts... this is one I won't shake easily. Not without her help."

"And thats how it should be." !Rose looked ahead, scanning for any of !Armok's soldiers. "You've got nearly ten years to plan. Hayley was born two years after we formed the Resistance. Poor kid has never seen the actual sun. We went underground first thing. She was around four years old when !Hikari and !Armok blocked it out. So she was never outside. I almost wish she was in Aldria with us last night. For a quick moment we had moonlight. She's never seen that either. None of the Children of the Resistance will see it until we take !Armok's empire down." It was obvious !Rose took to the Clan's children like she was their grandma or something. Explained why her hair was white xD

Z smiled. "I told her I'd give her my whole life. Looking at our old selves everything is still going strong. It makes me really happy... and despite this place's conditions... hopeful. A future with her is still that... a future with her. I'd like to not be crippled and all... but she loves my future self. In about a years time... Michael will probably lose Bianca too. When it comes to that I want to be his brother. His flesh and blood brother. No offense to Armok, but I had him first. I love him, in my own way, sure, but it's all in love. I have my regrets of taking Sarah away, but he couldn't see those signs, like he failed to see your signs, and he's failing to see Bianca's signs."

!Rose made a face. "Don't you mean all offense to Armok?" Eh she wasn't fond of him at all really. "I think he's catching on that Bianca needs him. That he needs to be attached to her more."

Z shrugged. "That's on him... he's the one throwing it back in Michael's face." He tilted his head "but Michael's a slow learner for such a smart guy. So... where are you in his life in your mind? I'm curious as to what you see in him. It'd probably break his heart." He looked to her. "He calls you his best friend... though that's debatable for something more... is he yours?"

!Rose blinked a few times and made a face. "I believe in having more than one best friend. AFR and Kat have had that position down pat for the entire time I've known them."

Z smiled. "He does try hard for you... even if it might not be for the best... you certainly get his best. I never got it..." Tinge of envy... maybe <<. "He loves you more then he loves me expectedly... but I don't want to let him down either, Rose. Just as much as you don't. I have this horrible secret, I want him to know, but I will never get a chance to be his brother if I do."

"I know you do." !Rose pointed at her throat as she spoke. "I was there when he made you the new owner of a voicebox."

Z frowned. "That's about as much as I meant to him when he died here. I'm not ok with that. I wronged him... and I'm going to make it better with time." He looked to her. "I could see why you are his best friend... when he finally gets it right I know he'll change his future. Which reminds me... changing the future. That's not going to be done here. Michael may be looking for that solution for you... but I know differently and others I suspect do to. He could still save you, but he's doing it wrong."

She blinked. "Save me?" !Rose shook her head after a minute. "I don't need to be saved."

GDR was in the Resistance base, though his memory of the events of the last week were slipping in and out.
... The future?
[His giant technicolor sunglasses appeared over his eyes.]
He knew nothing about the future. Or the past.

Hayley was still pretty loopy. And giggly.
Current Rose was using the expanded gym and training room to her advantage. She was determined to one up her future self D<

Jasper was passed out in the bed next to Hayley's, because he felt better about passing out in her room rather than some random's.
