"It seems that way..." Sorin said as he was looking at his parents talking. "I'm not interested in falling in love right now though... Getting laid sounds better.." He patted Zakk's shoulder, and picked up a glass of champagne to drink. He sipped it, and got on his phone. "Hey Zakk, What is Wilson's preference..?" He asked. "Don't wanna accidentally hit on a straight dude..." His eyes narrowed at something on his phone, He grinned and typed something back.
Daniel took Katya to the bedroom, and he sat her down. "This seems like a good spot..." He sat next to her. "I'm... Being around so many people make me a little nervous..." He took her hand. "I'm flattered... and I've thought of you... every day since I escaped..." He looked down. "And I like you too..." He smiled.
"I don't know what will happen, but... Well, maybe we can just start with us getting to know eachother..." He smiled.

"I'm not interested in falling in love right now though... Getting laid sounds better.."
"Yeah I know what you mean... I've done that... though I kind of want a relationship at this point in my life... I know, I'm only 25... I dunno..."
"Hey Zakk, What is Wilson's preference..? Don't wanna accidentally hit on a straight dude..."
"He's asexual. But I honestly think he might be gay." Zakk muttered. "He used to have a bit of a man-crush on me, though it's faded. Then again... he did used to have a crush on my cousin. But I dunno... maybe he's really bi."
-------------------------------- "I'm flattered... and I've thought of you... every day since I escaped... And I like you too..."
"Me too. You were always in my heart... like... I wanted to escape with you, but then Dr. Andreas got killed, and Dr. Kliesen got fired... and my Mom ran away..." She sighed. "And of course your father was sent somewhere else... and another scientist... Dr. Lumina... she was very cruel... and only fed me rations..."
"I don't know what will happen, but... Well, maybe we can just start with us getting to know each other..."
"Yeah... that's what I think, too. I agree... we should do that." She smiled. "With me staying here in Japan, maybe we can hang out for the next few days... what do you think?"

Sorin continued texting, and then finally put his phone away. "Asexual, huh...." He pursed his lips. "Well, I don't know... He seems like a great contact, and a good friend. I have Grindr for my needs..." He laughed.
Anna raised an eyebrow. "What's Grindr...?" She asked Antonio. He looked at her, "Don't ask.... Please.."
"This champagne is good, dad...." Sorin said. Antonio smiled. "I choose my alcohol well... I'm Irish and Italian." He said. Sorin looked up at Zakk. "We should go out tonight... It looks like all the little couples wanna be alone together... and I don't feel like being traumatized at twenty seven."
---
Daniel smiled and nodded, taking her hand. "If your mom will let you, you can come with me to the farm one day. I can play my flute.... It's supposed to rain the next few days, so I won't have to work. It'll just be us..." He said. He turned to the door. "Come on.." He stood up. "They are probably wondering what we're up to.." He said with a grin.

"Asexual, huh.... Well, I don't know... He seems like a great contact, and a good friend. I have Grindr for my needs..."
"Of course!" Zakk says. "Doesn't help though, Wilson is a virgin through-and-through. Really by choice."
"We should go out tonight... It looks like all the little couples wanna be alone together... and I don't feel like being traumatized at twenty seven."
Zakk glanced over and saw Lei and Elise walking together, holding hands. They were leaving the house. Zakk knew what was going to follow next.
"Agreed. I would invite Wilson along, but he is really enjoying that game. Apparently, he's teaching Li-Mei how to play video games... I don't know how I feel about that. I think it would be kind of cool, to be honest. My little sister can play video games."
Zakk then asked Wilson one more time if he wanted to go out. Wilson then told Zakk that he would love to go out.
"Well, Wilson says he can hang out. Xianlong is there, so she can watch my sister." Zakk shook his head. "I'm glad Pops found a woman... but Li-Mei is getting pretty worried... and I'll be real honest... I think it's a little awkward that I have a sister 20 years younger than me..."
------------------------ "If your mom will let you, you can come with me to the farm one day. I can play my flute.... It's supposed to rain the next few days, so I won't have to work. It'll just be us..."
"I am sure she will let me come see you."
"They are probably wondering what we're up to.."
"Of course... let's go out."
------------------------- Lei glanced at his watch and realized it was late enough.
"So... we have a dinner-date we need to attend to. So... we're having dinner at your place?"
Elise nodded. "Yeah. The hotel I booked has a stove."
"That's fantastic. We're gonna make a few stops at the store... and I'll get some materials... and you're going to enjoy my cooking."
"I am excited." She smiled. "What are we devouring for dinner."
"It's some special chicken chow mein... made from scratch... mostly..."
"Sounds like it would taste good."
"You are in for a treat!"
The pair walked outside, holding hands as they got in Lei's car and left the party.
"I also need to go check on Li-Mei... if you don't mind."
"Go on ahead. She is your daughter... I understand."

"Of course! Doesn't help though, Wilson is a virgin through-and-through. Really by choice."
"A virgin, you say..?" He sat there thought about when he lost his.... "God, I lost mine thirteen years ago..." He pursed his lips.
"Well, Wilson says he can hang out. Xianlong is there, so she can watch my sister." Zakk shook his head. "I'm glad Pops found a woman... but Li-Mei is getting pretty worried... and I'll be real honest... I think it's a little awkward that I have a sister 20 years younger than me..."
"Yay! The more the merrier...!" He smiled. "Yeah.... But, yknow that's more common than you think." He finished his champagne, and set the glass down. I think your dad just left..." He laughed.
Daniel and Katya re emerged, and Daniel sat next to Anna. "So, How do you wanna do this..?" Anna looked at him. "Do what..?" She asked. "Well, How will we become a family...?" He asked, smiling a bit. She shrugged. "Be there for eachother, I suppose... I could introduce you, Steve, and Sorin to the rest of your family..."
Antonio looked at Anna. "I think he wants it to just be us..." He said. Daniel smiled a little awkwardly, "Yeah..." he said. "I'm sure they're nice, though..."
Anna laughed. "Nice... That's funny... Um, You can stay at my apartment tonight...?" Antonio raised his hand. "Or you both can stay here..." Anna looked at him. "Alright..." Daniel smiled. "That sounds good... Can Katya stay here, aswell..? I don't see Lei or Dr Kristovich..."
"Of course." He said, smiling at Katya.

"A virgin, you say..? God, I lost mine thirteen years ago..."
"Yeah... and I lost mine at 19 years of age." Zakk added.
"Yeah.... But, yknow that's more common than you think."
"I suppose so. Parents are having kids later than they used to... I mean Li-Mei caught everyone by surprise... But she's a pleasant surprise... nonetheless." Zakk shrugged. "Sometimes, I feel more like her dad than her brother, to be honest..."
"I think your dad just left..."
Zakk looked around and saw that he was indeed gone. "He did say that he wasn't going to stay very long. He had a dinner date he had to attend to."
When the idea of Katya staying here for the night was proposed, she smiled. "I think it would be nice... Mom's a little busy. She said she had a date to go to."
"I think I can get a ride home. I've got a place to stay." Steve added. "But I can't thank you, enough... Aunt Anna. But the more I realize... Mum didn't have to accept me... I don't know why I hoped she'd accept me in her arms... I mean she did try to kill me twice."

Antonio looked at Steve, "You're welcome to stay as long as you wish..." He said. Anna laughed. "Oh, Steve... In time you'll see I'm always right about her..." She smirked. Antonio rolled his eyes. Sorin looked at Steve. "You wanna come out with us..?" He asked. "It'll be fun....!!!" He smiled. He also looked at Daniel. "You could come too..! Bring Katya....?"
Daniel laughed. "I'm not big on the loud music and overcrowded spaces, but thanks for the invite..." He said.
"That's alright!" Sorin said, "So what do ya say, Steve..?"

"You wanna come out with us..? It'll be fun....!!!"
Steve turned and shrugged. "It could be fun. I need to relax and unwind for a bit, anyway."
"You could come too..! Bring Katya....?"
"I'm going to have to say no, too... I don't like tiny spaces and loud music either."

"How quaint..." He said, "And boring..." He winked at his brother, and got up, "Well... I'm going to go home and get ready. You two are welcome to join me. You can tell Wilson to meet us there, too..." He said. He hugged Daniel, "No sex unless it's safe sex.." He whispered into his ear. Daniel looked at him funny, "Okay..." He laughed. Sorin smiled, and waved at his parents. "Goodbye..!" he said, sauntering out the door.
Anna narrowed her eyes, "He's always going somewhere isn't he?" Antonio laughed, "Yeah... He's a busy guy... It's rare to find him at his house. Personally I think it's a waste of money when he's never there..."
Anna smirked, "Reminds me of... well, Me.." She said. Antonio looked up at her. "Yes, he is very much like you... Both good and bad..." He commented. Anna rolled her eyes.

"Well... I'm going to go home and get ready. You two are welcome to join me. You can tell Wilson to meet us there, too..."
Zakk nodded. "I will do just that."
Just as he was heading out, he waves bye to Anna and Antonio and Daniel. "I shall you guys later. Bye."
"Ya' know... I think Sorin is an interesting character..."
"Yeah. I like him. He helps me see the best things in life. Yeah, I'm a cop, but doesn't mean I go out and have fun every now and then."
"You know, I never knew Lei had a son until I just met you."
"Yeah, Pops tends to keep things under wraps. He's a very paranoid man, you know..."
"Thank you for letting me meet Daniel... and freeing Katya."
"No problem." Zakk starts the engine. "It's the least I could do for you. And Sorin."
Katya waved bye as everyone left.
"So, I guess it is just us four..."

"It appears that way..." Antonio said. "I'll start dinner..." He walked into the kitchen, when Anna turned to Daniel. "Why don't you go help him...?" She asked him. Daniel nodded, "Yeah..." He smiled at Katya, "I'll be back..." When it was just the girls, Anna faced Katya. "I want to make myself very plain to you, Katya..." She said, smiling. "I don't mind you, you're innocent in all of this..." She stood up, and walked to the young redhead.
"But I don't trust your mother one bit, and Antonio... He's not gotten off so easily." She leaned in. "If anything remotely terrible happens to my son, I will personally kill whoever it is responsible." She smirked. "A friendly warning, if you will..." She inhaled, and exhaled. "So keep watch of your mother, will you? She was the one who violated us all... If I didn't already have conflicting feelings for Antonio, he'd be six feet under for creating a child just to put him through that..."
Anna did not know NT02 was her son, but she was somewhat aware of the experiments thanks to Kazuya.
"Tread carefully, little girl... Not many can be trusted, and I can see you are quite trusting... Gullible even."
Antonio poked his head in, "Anna, do you want chicken, or beef..?" Anna turned, "Chicken." He smiled at her, and went back into the kitchen. She turned to Katya. "He will answer for his crimes aswell... Don't you worry... You children deserved far better."

"I want to make myself very plain to you, Katya... I don't mind you, you're innocent in all of this..."
"Um... okay..." she trembled in fear.
"But I don't trust your mother one bit, and Antonio... He's not gotten off so easily. If anything remotely terrible happens to my son, I will personally kill whoever it is responsible. A friendly warning, if you will..."
"Okay..."
"So keep watch of your mother, will you? She was the one who violated us all... If I didn't already have conflicting feelings for Antonio, he'd be six feet under for creating a child just to put him through that..."
"...Alright...."
Katya wasn't sure what to do. She had to tell her mother. She now wanted to go home. She wasn't sure what to do.
"He will answer for his crimes aswell... Don't you worry... You children deserved far better."
"I am going to go pee." She says, getting up and running to the bathroom in a hurry.

Anna watched as the girl scurried away under the guise of going to the restroom. Anna knew better. She was aware that she could exude a terrifying presence, despite how she looked. Her reputation as a Williams certainly asserted that. Daniel came in, "Where is Katya." Anna smiled, "She's in the restroom." She said. He nodded, and sat down to wait on her. Anna walked into the kitchen, where Antonio had Italian music on a low volume as she prepped the chicken. Anna picked up the knife on the table. She walked up behind him, smiling. "Hey...!" She said, flirtatiously. Antonio grinned, "Anna..." He turned around, and she pressed the knife to his throat.
"Ann--" "Shut. Up...." She said. "I'd rather Daniel not catch you in such a predicament.."
Antonio clenched his jaw. "Are you going to kill me?" He asked her. She tilted her head. "Oh, no... Consider this a warning, my love..." She leaned up to him, her lips nearly touching his. "Your one chance at whatever this is... Is to resign from the Zaibatsu, ensuring that my sister, nor those pesky scientists can lay another finger on Daniel..." She stepped back, keeping a firm hold on her knife.
Antonio nodded. Anna then stepped back, lowering the weapon. Antonio rubbed his neck, where she left a mark. "You're still upset." He commented, turning back around to continue dinner.
Anna laughed, setting the knife down. "Of course I'm upset... The only reason he exists is so that you, and Elise, and those other bitches could put that poor life through hell." Antonio shook his head. "We have both made mistakes, Anna..." He said, turning around. "You were never there for Sorin, and I wasn't there for Daniel."
Anna scoffed, "Oh that's a low blow. I kept Sorin away from me so that he would be out of danger. Daniel didn't deserve that. None of those kids did..." She said. Looking at him, she could tell he had extreme regret surrounding all of it. He walked up to her. "I will do as you ask. I will leave the Zaibatsu, and I will do everything in my power to keep our children safe." He said. "Even after all of these years, I still loved you. I kept my promises the best I could."
Anna clenched her jaw. "I believe you... but for now, you're on thin ice. Remember that." She said.
"Is everything okay?" Daniel asked. Anna spun around, seeing he was in the room. "Everything's fine. Just clearing up some things." She said. Antonio sighed, turning around. Anna walked up to Daniel, and brought him back into the living room. "So you like this Katya, yea..?" She asked him. He nodded. "We were all we had when we were children... I thought of her everyday after I escaped...." he said.
"How did you escape?" She asked. Daniel frowned a little. "Dad took me from the Zaibatsu, posing as a corpse. He put me in his car, told me who he was to me, brought me to the suicide forest, and told me to run like hell..." He explained to her.
Anna turned her head to see Antonio still cooking. "I suppose he did right his wrong then..." She said before turning back around and smiling at her son.

Katya finally returned from the restrooms after five minutes of crying and being scared. Maybe she could tell Daniel... she really hoped Anna didn't go after her mother. After all, her mother was the only person at the labs who gave her her name, who brought her presents, and insisted on people calling her Katya, not SN95. She even taught her Polish. Her mom's not a bad person, right?
"Daniel... I'm scared..."

Anna returned to the kitchen where Antonio was cooking still. "You gonna put a bomb in my oven this time..?" He asked her, sarcastically. Anna rolled her eyes. "Look, I have to make sure..." She leaned against the counter. Antonio pursed his lips. "I know... You feel violated, and used." He sighed, "There's more." He said. Anna looked at him. "What more...?" She asked. He turned to her. "Your sister never volunteered for the project." He said.
Anna widened her eyes, "What are you talking about?"
"She was forced into it." He said.
---
Daniel turned to Katya, and immediately worried when he saw her state. She said she was scared. "What's wrong..!?" He asked.
