"Let's just get going" Stern told the others.

Soon, they were all getting into the vehicles to return to the hotel, hoping that they would be able to evade police detection, or any such entanglements. Aydin and Aimee were still in the van, but were now getting into their seats.

Dr Landon climbed in to Alfred car, and he was soon joined by Aisha ' so Cale got pissed about something and left.." Dr Landon frowned " he'd make a bad enemy, and we already have enough of those..
_ I can only guess at what Aimees going through right now..

Neku looked up, saw the happy couple, then sighed and looked back down, staring at his hand sadly.
"Neku...you stupid, stupid idiot...you could've kept this from happening...but you didn't...you dumbass"
He muttered softly, using his telekinesis to tear several dozen small cuts into his skin, watching the blood...

Before long, the cars and van were off, speeding away from a very violent confrontation with a group of murderous maniacs.

Stern was in the same car as Shakila, whereas Aydin and Aimee sat next to each other in the van, basking in each other's scent...

Aimee continued to remain quiet still. She had many things on her mind now, one in particualt was trying to figure out on who Aydin actually was. He had said that she had known her earlier on, but it was still a mystery to her, yet, she was now determined to figure it out.

Pieces in her mind were now, slowly, starting to come together as she spoke something to herself "Aydin...." was all she said quietly.

Kiara nodded back to Stern as she climbed into the driver's seat of the van with Hailey getting into the front seat herself with the occupants in the back, Aimee, Neku and co.

Neku sighed and looked at them, before simply sitting there, watching his blood drip onto the floor.

"Ah, so you DO recognize me! Do you remember what life was like back in the "settlement" we used to call home?" Aydin would have like to call it a "wastebin" and a "dump", but he refrained from using such language as he move in closer to her.

MrDrake · **Reply #1927 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:06:14 AM

Shakila was in the same car as Shelton was, in Jayden's car, her head was once again, resting back onto Shelton's should rather happily as they were all indeed, heading to a new hotel, all were following Kiara's van this time round, as Kiara indeed, had an idea on where to go for a hotel.

Stern sat in the car, thinking of all the needless loss of life that was just behind him. Was this all the struggle against Dragonstorm would bring? Not time for such thoughts. They had so much to do, so much to prepare for...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #1929 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:11:47 AM

Hawkeye sighed softly, then looked over at Stern.
"Thinking about the losses of lives that this has incurred?"
He asked softly, mechanincal eye ridge lifting a little...

Aimee was still having many things buzzing through her mind as she looked at Aydin rather silently.

And that's when it happened, a flash of an image appeared in her mind rather quickly, it was that of Aydin followed by a small memory. It was of Herself talking with both Aydin and Hailey. Three of them were...laughing together.

Aimee could understand that it was with Hailey, but with Aydin, it was new to her as another memory followed that one with her and Aydin talking together.

It was true, they too were friends....she had simply forgotten that fact as she looked back to Aydin once more "Aydin? You...how...I mean...what...." she wasn't entirely sure on what to say now, especially after forgetting him for so long now.

Noname · **Reply #1931 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:14:07 AM

"Yes. You... read that, didn't you? I should've guessed. In any case, yes, these battles, they never seem to bring Dragonstorm any closer to defeat, and we've been fighting on and on and on in one pointless battle after another, and none of it seems to make any sense." Even a military man like Stern could be worn down, with time.

Meanwhile...

Aydin's face lit up.

"Yes! So you do remember! It seems we have a lot of catching up to do. I know that you and I... we were... there was a thing we had... we were supposed to be together, but life forced us apart."

MrDrake · **Reply #1932 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:18:08 AM

Aimee seemed to give off a small nervous sounding laugh "Well, yeah, these memories are coming back to me...they were about you....I still don't know too much, but I know that we were friends" she replied back, however, she didn't seem to smile as of yet, her mind was still partly on with what had happened between her and Cale.

And the memories didn't stop there either....a few more seemed to flash in her mind, recalling even more about Aydin.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #1933 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:18:18 AM

Hawkeye nodded to Stern.
"It's something we've all felt. Something most of us still feel. And the thing that makes it hard is that there's no real clear-cut answer to it. Sometimes I wonder if we're even doing the right thing, to be honest...if we're not simply making the situation worse by fighting..."
He said, sounding strangely emotional...

Noname · **Reply #1934 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:20:14 AM

Aydin leaned over on her, avoiding her metal arms, gently resting his head on her shoulder. She offered no resistance. They used to do this a lot, and Aimee evidently remembered enough not to be offended at the closeness.

"You were the one good thing about life in our hometown. Everything else was little better than the trash we lived in."

MrDrake · **Reply #1935 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:23:59 AM

Aimee indeed, didn't seem to mind with what Aydin was doing. Out of everyone ehs'e ever know, the only ones that had done that to her back home were Aydin and Hailey.

Hailey, Aimee didn't seem to mind, just to make her not feel as left out and Aydin, well, she did in fact like him as she spoke again "I have to say that I'm sorry I had forgotten the promise I had made to you....it....it wasn't my fault, but everyone acts as though it is my fault....that my memory has been terrible....my life....practically ruined because of what had happened to me...."

Noname · **Reply #1936 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:27:02 AM

"Dragonstorm took me in. My life was... no, I came to them. They had me fooled." Aydin would have continued on, but the part of him that he had come to love and hate was awakening. Being so close to a female of his own kind made him feel... less-than-controlled. He loved the feeling, but disliked the loss of his autonomy to the hormones. He knew that Aimee would eventually feel the same way, given enough time around him. His race was driven by base urges, hard to resist under most circumstances, but when combined with love, they were an emotional mess that humans simply could not understand.

MrDrake · **Reply #1937 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:30:11 AM

"Dragonstorm?" Aimee let off a light sounding scoff "I already hate them enough as it is....especially one esperiment in particular....Kain and Trinity simply called her Subject 19....gave her no real name....I've even fought her once....it didn't work out well...."

She looked back to Aydin for a moment, then back out the window of the van again "But, I'm glad that I could also find you....I mean, finding Hailey was one thing, but you...." she seemed to trail off by that point too without really realizing it herself.

Noname · **Reply #1938 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:32:42 AM

"Enough about Dragonstorm. We need to catch up on things." Aydin was no longer thinking about anything but the female sitting next to him in the van. He wanted so badly to get to know her, to be with her, to reclaim a piece of the life he had known before this whole conflict started; the one good thing he had known in his hometown.

Without thinking, he reach back behind her, gently stroking her tail the way she liked it; he remembered how to do it.

MrDrake · **Reply #1939 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:35:11 AM

Aimee smiled to herself rather contently as her tail was stroked, to which she looked back to Aydin once more, now with a bit of a smile upon her face "That feels nice...."

The vehicles in question were getting closer to the hotel as well, it would take at the very least, 5 minutes to get tyo the hotel that Kiara had in mind.
