After getting Sorin back to bed, where he belonged, Anna placed her hand on his shoulder. She turned to Lei, "You are ridiculous..." She muttered under her breath. Sorin giggled, "Alrighty... Uncle Joe..." He winked at Lei, and looked at Daniel. "How did you get so much muscle..?" He asked. Daniel grinned a little. "I work out.." He whispered. His voice wasn't very good. Sorin huffed, "Well, I work out...! I'm just very beautifully toned.." He pursed his lips. Daniel shook his head.
When Lei told him they were looking for him, both Anna and Daniel immediately went on guard.
"Why are you looking for him..?" She asked. Her hand rested on the blade she carried behind her thigh.
Daniel stood up. Sorin groaned, "He's taller than me, too.!?" Sorin looked at Anna, "But.." Anna raised an eyebrow at her son. He was so vain...! He definitely was her child. "I'm sorry..?" She said, and laughed a bit.

"See, Helena? I told you?" Lei said to the woman.
"And you were the one who announced that we were looking for him!"
Lei shrugged and made some faces, as Helena had a point. Lei was the one who brought up that they were looking for Daniel.
"Well, anyway, Helena and I are harmless. We are not goin' ta' harm ya'. We wanna' help you. But first we need yoh help."
"And don't worry, you won't be out and about. We just need to ask you a question."
Helena grabbed her tablet from her purse and pulled up an image of SN-95. "Do you know anything about this woman? I know the image is low-res, but it was the best image we could find that made her a bit more... identifiable."

Daniel took the photo, and looked at it. The sight of the woman, no matter the quality of the photo, caused a visible reaction. He never knew her name, but Daniel knew she was like him. When he and Steve were children, they would see her from time to time. After Steve escaped, Daniel always assumed she did as well, because he never saw her again. This was many years ago. He knew he didn't want to go back there, and surely she didn't. Daniel looked up at Lei and Helena. "Sorry..." He said. "I don't know her." The only way to protect her,was to lie.
Anna clapped her hands. "He doesn't know her. Can we stop asking him questions? He's been through an extreme ordeal." She said.
Sorin knew something was up... He would ask his newfound brother what exactly it was later.

Lei and Helena both nodded as Daniel said his piece. Lei knew Daniel was lying. But he didn't prod anymore. After all, the poor guy has been through enough. Some things are better left unsaid. Anna was right. But he'll find SN-95. Not today, not tomorrow, but someday. Maybe they can all take down the Mishima Zaibatsu together. Lei smiled.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Lei had dropped the accent. Though it was entirely on purpose. "And you're right Anna. I feel that it is best that we leave him alone. He has been through quite enough. And Sorin buddy, I'm glad you're okay."
"I knew you would survive."

Daniel handed the photo back, and smiled a bit. He sat back down. Anna smiled. "You finally see reason!" She laughed. Sorin smiled at Lei. "Well... It'll take more than a little bullet to take me down...! I'm too pretty to die!" He smirked, and winked at the two.
Anna saw the two to the door. She looked at Lei, and crossed her arms. "Look... I know we have our differences, but... I appreciate everything you both have done for Sorin..." She smiled a little. "Thankyou." She quickly whispered.
Meanwhile, Sorin looked at his brother. "You totally knew her. Didnt you..?" He whispered.
Daniel looked back at his brother. He just nodded, and then hung his head down. Sorin frowned a little, seeing Daniel was upset. He put his hand on his brother's. Daniel saw the iv hooked into Sorin's hand. He looked at Sorin, and wrapped his arms around him. With closed eyes, Daniel whispered "Im glad you're okay..." Sorin laughed. He started to get a little teary eyed.
"Same to you." He said.

"Well... It'll take more than a little bullet to take me down...! I'm too pretty to die!"
"Of course, afteer all ye be a soldier."
"Yes, soldiers are tough."
"Look... I know we have our differences, but... I appreciate everything you both have done for Sorin..."
Lei nods in acknowledgement. "Same to you. And it's nothing. It's the least I can do. He's a sweet kid." He smiles. Lei holds his hand out offering a handshake. "It's a truce. I'm retired, but still a truce."

Anna looked at Lei. For the first time in her life, she felt that people may actually be out there to help her out... She smiled a little, and took his hand. With a little shake, she pulled it back. "Take care... I'm sure we'll see eachother again..." She then turned to see her sons hugging. The sight warmed her heart. Anna thought of the time she missed.... All this time spent chasing after Nina, trying to prove her own worth, when it was sitting right in front of her this whole time. She wondered what life would have been like, had she been able to raise them herself.
She walked over to the two of them, and placed on hand on Daniel's back, and the other on Sorin's shoulder. The both looked up at her. No matter what her mother had done, they were together. Anna finally felt like she had a family. The way they looked at her, that was enough for the assassin.
They were beautiful, and kind, and great men. They were enough. Anna felt deep within herself that she was, finally, Good Enough.

Lei smiled, taking Anna's hand. "Of course, you’re right. We will meet again." Lei then lets go to give Anna a bow of respect. Helena, not sure what to do, just went with it and bowed with Lei.
The two turned around and saw Sorin and Daniel. Lei smiled as he thought about his brother. It jas been 30 years. Way too long to give someone the silent treatment. Lei wasn't one to hold grudges, but he forgives his brother. Most import, will his brother forgive him? After all, Li-Mei needed to see her dad's side of the family.
Helena just thought about her son. She felt bad about not being around him so much, or taking care of him. But it is what it is.
"You have a beautiful family."

"M-Mo--" Chris couldn't even get the words out, as he fell to the ground. Sorin was trembling, he wasn't even attempting to escape at this point.
Chris was shaking on the floor as blood poured from his back and stomach, Johanna walked over to her son. Chris looked at his mother in horror, as the matriarch looked over him... There was no love, no regret, just emptiness.
"I was hoping you'd make the right decision...." She was frowning, "I see I was right about you..." She looked disgusted, "You're worthless, hopeless...." She pointed her gun at her son, and shot him in the stomach four more times before turning to Marcella. "I told you you would regret seeing him again..."
---
"MOTHER!?" Chris jolted awake. He was shaking. He looked around, sweat glossing over his entire body. He was in tremendous pain. "Hello...!?" He yelled as loud as he could. He was apparently in a hospital. He turned to see a young blonde woman run into the room. He looked at her. "Where is Marcella...!? Sorin..?" He was breathing heavily, the girl just placed a hand on his shoulder. "They're fine..." She said.
"Nina...! Please..." he took her hand. Marilyn's heart was pounding. He thought she was someone else...
"They're fine... My name is Marilyn..." She said. She wouldn't drop the daughter bombshell, yet. "I'm a friend of Marcella's..." She said. It wasn't a lie. She had enjoyed talking to Marcella and hoped they were becoming friends.
"Nurse..!" She yelled.

It's been two weeks since the horrific ordeal and the death of Johanna Williams. Marcella would normally be home by now, but in this case she wasn't.
Instead she replaced her warm comfy bed for the inside of a bathroom stall in the woman's restroom. She was vomiting profusely and it wasn't like her to get stomach viruses.
Maybe it was something she ate? It caused her to think back to her recent meals, which contained nothing out of the ordinary. Flushing the toilet, Marcella opened the bathroom door to walk over to the sink and wash her hands.
She took a quick glimpse in the mirror, she looked as though she was extremely sleep deprived. She was developing small bags under her eyes from the loss of sleep.
With the vomiting shenanigans and the threat of her past trying to catch up with her, it's been hard to catch some sleep.
Before she left out of the bathroom, Marcella popped a few mints, she didn't want to walk around with her breath smelly. Taking a walk towards Christopher's room, she stopped in her tracks.
"C-Chris?" She stammered as she walked into his room, not wanting to make him feel uneasy. Walking over to him, Marcella cupped his face with her hands so that he could look at her, "Chris. I'm right here okay? You're okay."
Marcella knew that Chris was still dealing with the traumatic stress from the event that occurred two weeks prior, it was as if his mind is on replay, especially with him being in a coma.

Chris looked around, "Where am I..!?" He asked. Mari backed away from him when Marcella walked in, "You're in the hospital.." She said. Chris took Marcella's hands, and kept looking around. He was so confused. "Hospital..?"
He then remembered his mother shooting him. "Mother...." He looked at Marcella, "Where is my mother..!?" He tried to sit up, and screamed out of pain, falling back down.
Marilyn covered her mouth, and staggered back a little. Chris was shaking. The nurse finally came in, and saw Chris was awake. She paged the doctor, and told the two women that they needed to leave the room so they could examine him. Chris shook his head, "Don't leave me, Cella... Don't..." He looked around. "What's going on..?!"
Mari gave the nurse a nod, and walked out to wait in the hall just outside of the door.

Marcella gently caressed Christopher's head while he clutched onto her. She hated seeing him like this. It wasn't like him at all, and it was all because of his mother.
Speaking of his mother, Marcella couldn't stomach the thought of telling him she's dead. It wasn't the appropriate time to tell him. Besides with a sister like Anna, Marcella was sure Chris would get the news some way or another.
Marcella felt nauseous again, but decided to ignore it. She wanted to be with Chris, it was the least she could do, especially with all he's been through.

Mari stood out in the hall listening to her father speak to Marcella. She wondered when she could reveal herselfnto him as her daughter. She thought of her mother and stepfather. Her heart sunk. Sighing, she decided to go get a slice of pie from cafeteria.
---
Chris finally began to calm down. He took Marcella's hands. "She tried to kill me..." He said. "My mother tried to kill me..." He frowned. "I survived her test... Are Nina and Anna okay..?" He asked her.
His heart was pounding. He was so worried.

Marcella looked down at Chris, seeing his mental condition deteriorate before her very eyes was enough to crumble her on the inside. This wasn't like Chris at all, but giving his current state, it was best to be there for him especially in his time of need.
Marcella caressed Christopher's hand, in an attempt to comfort him, "Yes, Nina and Anna are perfectly fine." She flashed a warm smile at Chris but deep down she couldn't shake the queasy sensation that was forming in the pit of her abdominal area.
She felt the reoccurring need to relieve herself again, this time with a vengeance. Marcella excused herself from Chris and barged into the nearest stall in the woman's bathroom.
She hated vomiting. Marcella had no clue as to what could be the culprit for her stomach issues. Finally feeling somewhat better, Marcella flushed the toilet, adjusted herself accordingly and walked over to the sink to wash her hands and to splash water on her face, she looked like an absolute train wreck.
"Are you okay ma'am?" Another female voice caught Marcella's attention, causing her to look around to see who was talking to her. It was a nurse who looked as though she was on her break or finally catching one.
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking." That answer couldn't be further from the truth.
"Are you sure? I've noticed you've been running back and forth in here a lot. I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were okay before I continue on my shift."
Looking into the mirror, Marcella gave a hard look at herself. In all honesty, she couldn't blame the nurse for even asking what's wrong, from her physical appearance it looked as though she could need a little bit of help.
"Well.." Her hazel eyes focused on the nurse, maybe she could help find the source of her issues, "I've been having stomach issues for a few days, it's been pretty severe."
Hearing this, the first thing that the nurse thought of was pregnancy, but she didn't want to rule any other diagnosis out of the way, "If it's severe as you say, follow me and I'll take you to a nearby room just to run a few tests and get your blood drawn just to rule out a few things."
Nodding, Marcella understood completely and followed the nurse...

Noticing Chris was distressed, the nurse sedated him so he could return to sleep. Marilyn walked in to look in on her father. "I'm you daughter.." She whispered. He was still sound asleep. She placed her hand on his, and frowned. "You have to get through this... You're all I have left.." She said. Her voice quivered as she spoke. "This was her last request..." Sighed, she stood up. She walked through the hall and looked to see Marcella in the reflection of the mirror. She walked inside, her heels echoing through the restroom.
"Marcella..?" She was walking out with the nurse.
"Are you okay..? What's wrong..?" She asked. Her Bambi eyes stared at the woman.
