Eires grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Ramona's your daughter and Andy's my charge. They're friends and I can't have him getting hurt because he doesn't know what he's doing!"

-She grit her teeth in a frown, then softened a little-

Why wouldn't she tell me? I pack her lunch every day...

"I can't tell you what she's thinking. You know I'm not that close to her, and who knows how she interpreted the situation: or what this kid thinks she is!"

They sighed, and dug out their pack of cigarettes.

"He'll either figure out that she's not it and go after Andy, or something worse will happen. I can't hurt him, kid's, well- just a kid and he doesn't know what he's doing! But I couldn't sit around and let him take potshots and hit someone he didn't mean to, either. I'm working on this, dammit, but I can't keep everything a secret."

They removed a single cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag.

-She turned to them properly, putting her hands on their shoulders, but not like they had for her-

-Gently-

Hey... look, I'm glad you told me, okay. And... and I don't like leaving him anywhere near he could even come close to hurting my Ramona. But we can find a way around this and... I don't know...

We need to tell him. Tell him what Andy is and tell him that it's all okay.

Eires' face fell as they contemplated the idea.

"I tried doing that. It's- it's been my plan. How I'd do it, I don't know, but I know I have to try it again. I don't want to hurt anyone but the weight of his sins are going to crash down on him like a fucking ton of bricks if he ends up succeeding."

They paused to take a drag. Exhaling slowly, they let the smoke sit, heavy, before they continued.

I think we can stop him but I can't do it alone and...dammit. Sandra, I don't trust anyone much enough to drag them into this."

... How's your power of suggestion coming along? We could just talk him into forgetting about Ramona. I say talk with inverted commas, by the way.

... Me neither. But it's kept me out of bad situations, if I use it right. And only right.

It'll take some practise. You just gotta... lock eyes with them and just... feel your drive. That bit inside of you that compels you to act. And you gotta just... push that from you to them. Speak the command, the simpler the better.

I think you could do it. You're certainly good at... ahem... being assertive.

Eires couldn't help but crack a wry grin.

"I guess you have a point." They replied with a hint of humor.

"It might work, but, they're friends. I don't want to ruin that. Call me crazy, but if I convince someone like Andy to not kill me, getting one kid to back off shouldn't be that hard. Right?"

Eires thought for a hard second.

"We have to convince him utterly about whatever it is we plan to say. I can't go about this lying to him as an ends. Andy doesn't deserve to lose a friend and I don't think he's as dangerous as he could be. Relatively speaking."

What can he do to one of Andy's kind that I can't? Believe me, I've tried, and they don't die.

... Maybe I should take Ramona home. And keep her there, a while. She won't like it. Hell, I won't like it. I don't want her to think of me as some kind of hand-wringy helicopter mum. But I can't afford to— if she's in danger, Eires, there's nothing that's not worth it. Nothing.

"Sandra, this is nothing short of life and death! It would be 'irresponsible to keep her around!''"

They sighed.

"You know this, why do I even bother? What do I know that you wouldn't, anyway? I'm working on this the best I can, maybe it'll all go well. If not-"

they shrugged.

"Just one more tally on the list."

Ramona's more capable than she puts on. And if I tried to take her home against her will, it wouldn't work. I raised her not to listen to me when she knew better. And I trust her to know better.

It's her choice.

"Point being, I told you because I should. What you do with that, short of tearing this kid a new one, I won't mess with. But if I have to give this kid what-for, I will. Don't know if you want to be around for that, but I can give it my best shot."

(Don't mind me, just continuing on from this post, ~CrystalMemoria, ~Randomman5, ~Lilqueendaisy...)

Yeah. Thanks, Misaki.


Leos VS    -EX-   

(Yet another Wave-Motion Gun attack fires from the black Gundam's mouth, which Leos blocks with his shield, before splitting his Psycho Rifle into two and dual-wielding them again.)

   I am a God here! You can't kill me, Leos Alloy!   

You're no-one's God! EXA Burst! (A massive Wave-Motion Gun attack that is combined from Leos's funnels, rifles, shoulder cannons and his core pack fires, and while -EX- does try to stop the blast, the shields break apart and the result leaves the MK-II scarred and burnt.)

   NO!   

(Because -EX- was left open with his shield being broken, Leos takes the opportunity to take a beam saber and stab the black Gundam.)

   I... failed... Forgive me, my Princess of Truth.   

(The black Gundam powers down and falls off of Leos's Laser Blade with a nasty hole in its cockpit, crashing down on the ground below it.)

(Leos, meanwhile, tries to set his Gundam down, dematerialising its Face parts. The Gundam manages to kneel on the ground.) Guys, he's down. I... beat him.

(The stress of the entire fight basically forces the guy to pass out in the cockpit.)

...

Don't know if I could kill a kid. Broke the leg of a seventeen-year-old in '72, at a party. He pushed a lil too hard. I pushed harder. Two storeys. I remember just... not being bothered by the thought he could be dead, in those few seconds.

But Andy's age... it gets greyer.
