Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mont Blonc struggled against Devilline's grip at first, because no, no he couldn't let himself get pulled away. He knew this was dangerous, he knew these people far outmatched him, but -- what was he supposed to do? Just walk away and let them take Ploutonion again? How was he supposed to do that? Still, he flashed the lieutenant the briefest, passing looks of apology before he released the squire, and Mont Blonc stepped forward again, only to be shoved hard by the captain who'd taken his starseed, palm flat against the chest he'd dipped into last time to fish out his lifesource.

The squire stumbled back, teetering at the edge of the platform, and only there in that moment did he catch another pair of eyes of him. A woman, the one who felt to be a general, watching him cooly for a moment before uttering a complete mockery of his plea to the man that'd once been a friend, once been the only other page of Saturn he'd known. His stomach twisted, and he paled at Umber's harsh words to Ploutonion, at the way the woman touched him. Something about her, especially the way she looked at him, frightened him immensely.

Most of all at the look Ploutonion flashed him just before he was whisked away with them. It would be something new to haunt him, the helplessness he felt at that moment, the way Ploutonion flinched under her touch and shook his head. His knees buckled, a wave of anguish rising and falling in him like a tide, his eyes burning and his hands curling into loose fists at his sides - in one hand was still the shreds of the captain's coat, damp with melted snow. An upgrade had come. He was stronger. But not enough, it just wasn't enough to chance a damned thing.

He turned back to Devilline, trying to blink back tears and standing tall, trying to keep himself together. "I - I know you you meant me no h-harm, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I yelled at you, I'm sorry I did not explain, " he choked out, his voice tight. "I know you're not - you're not like them, I - I know you didn't mean for this to - listen, I - I don't know you, but you're making a mistake." And he took a step towards the younger man, and this time, placed a hand on his shoulder, meeting his gaze. "I don't know you. I don't know your story. But, please - please - get away from those people while you can. You owe nothing to me, but please, do it for yourself."

He pursed his lips and tried to smile. "I can tell you're not a bad person, I - you deserve better. Please. At least consider it. I could help you. Walk away while you can."

The squire made as though to pull away, letting his hand drop - but did think to add, quietly, "I'm Mont Blonc, by the way. Page - I - I suppose Squire now, of Saturn. I never did get your name?"

Havasu chuckled and winced as the laughter made his head throb. "Yeah I think a hose would be a good idea." He glanced down as his nasty uniform and added, "Don't suppose I can just burn this outfit can I? Either that or I'll have to seriously tip the guys who clean it when it goes wherever it goes once we power down." Except for a few patches on his vest he was pretty well covered in the goo and missing his hat which meant his hair was covered in the gunk as well. As he took in the damage to his outfit Havasu winced, "Uh... I was planning on picking you up from the station with mom's car. I think we kinda need to change plans cuz," he gestured to their dirty outfits. "yeah. Don't think this stuff will clean out of the seats all that easily."

"Advil... lots and lots of advil would be nice." He smiled softly at her touch and made a face hoping to get a laugh out of her. Since the main danger was clear the sense of urgency was fading from him but as Havasu sensed chaotic auras fading he realised that it was time for them to split as well. "I'm glad Mercy is safe. I'm glad you both are safe," He nodded towards the senshi in the red military inspired uniform. If Phact said Mercy was safe then the young girl was, even if Havasu wanted to gather the two up and get the hell out of dodge because he was so done with the subway system. "Totally agree that it's time we split but definitely not in the car... I really don't want to explain the mess to my folks." He grimaced at the mere thought of trying to come up with an excuse for the mess the three of them would make in his mom's immaculately clean car. "Hell, don't even think a taxi would take us."

Havasu's thoughts of heading out were quickly squashed when the other senshi mentioned looking for her cousin. He didn't really want to stay but he wasn't about to leave anyone behind, especially someone who helped Phact out. "Was he on the train with you? What does he look like? Come on, I'm sure we can find him." He waved off her thanks about the ride, it never occurred to him that the drum majorette in front of him might be someone he knew as a civilian let alone the young kid he had come to pick up dealer before all hell broke loose. His head might have been spinning but he wasn't going to leave anyone behind in this hellhole since the train and platform had claimed enough lives today. If they can locate just one more person still breathing Havasu would be happy.

Somewhere along the way Delphi had wandered, or maybe she'd gotten jostled and pushed enough, that she had separated from the little group she'd been with. She remembered that Squire of Pluto running off and than...well she became separated from the group, and she hadn't a clue how. All the chaos going on had been too much even for her to keep track of and thus she was clueless as to how it had happened.

She however knew people were fleeing, teleporting, and over all just leaving. So it was with a look around, hoping to catch sight perhaps of her princess, that Delphi not seeing Polaris decided it was best to get out of here - the smell was really churning her stomach. Ducking behind a pillar fast she was able to power down before moving to join the crowd of people exiting as the sound of sirens hit her ears, lovely. She really hoped she could get away before they arrived and started to detain and question people. She didn't care much for being held back from getting home, and taking a much needed shower. She didn't care to stick around and rehash what had just happened either, it was a lot on the gory side and putting distance between herself and the stink and the scene of gore down there was a priority at the moment. She'd contact Polaris later and let her know that she was safe, perhaps she should make something for the other and bring it over?

Stepping onto pavement the dark haired girl hurried off hoping to not be seen by cops and stopped and questioned, although she did wonder what they would make of the mess down there...it was certainly something...and she wasn't jealous of their job at all; not in this city.

This girl with him was just too sweet. Maybe she should have been the Senshi of Chocolate. He could have been the bitter little jerk of a Coffee senshi instead.. She was too nice, and still held his hand. The world was getting cozier and cozier by the moment.

"Oh.. Right.." He looked down at his feet, moving them a little. Atleast those were still in working order. "I was on my way to see my little cousin. I had skates on to.. Better avoid him. Hehe.. He's such a little dickbag but it makes my mom happy."

If there was any reason to keep his eyes open, it was to continue to look at this pretty girl infront of him. she was so worried. His mom would probably look the same way too. It was such a shame about her clothes though. Nasty a** goop everywhere pretty much ruined it, he was sure.

"Hi Gigi.. I'm Benji.. Yeah, I'll call them.. It's okay." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a surprisingly not broken phone. It took only a few moments to call, hear panic and then promply hanging up the phone. He had informed his other of which hospital he was going to be taken to, and to not be in a rush since it was likely to be jam packed. Of course she wouldn't listen but that's not the worst thing in the world.

"Thanks for staying with me, Gigi.. I'm sure the medics will be here soon. We'll be fine, just fine.. Yeah."

"True enough." She mused as Harmonia mentioned the power boost, nodding a little as the other girl mentioned not getting to use her power often. She recalled back in her early days when she used to brainstorm which senshi she thought should patrol together and whose powers would compliment each other. Perhaps it was a type of thinking that she would have to do again. Well, that was if their were any new senshi willing enough to listen to the advice and direction of someone like her.

The eternal senshi was snapped out of her thoughts when Harmonia mentioned the time, and how worried her parents would be. "Of course, have a safe trip home!" She called out as she lifted her hand in her own wave. When she got home she'd have to make note to hunt down the other girl again at some point - along with Delphi, who her eyes couldn't find as she gazed across the platform.

Before long a familiar voice touched her ears, and the only thing that kept her from immediately throwing her arms around his neck was the gunk she was obviously slathered in. And the fact that he'd already mentioned feeling icky.

As he shifted to his smaller form Polaris crouched, lifting him from the burning disgusting mess that covered the floor. Her arms crossed, offering him a platform to lounge on that wasn't necessarily buried in the goopy mess of her hair. "We're both having a bath when we get home. Because I'm not cleaning this stuff off the sheets and floor tommorrow." She stated matter of factly. But there was no real sternness on her face, only relief. There was no way to assess how much damage had been done, how many lives had been lost on that day. But they had saved some and, even if it was selfish of her, Snowball had made it out alright too. It was a victory in her book.

"Poor dear.." She regarded in thought of the senshi who had the misfortune of awakening during the whole mess. She'd definitely go with Snowball if he wanted, knowing full well how jumbled and confusing things could get in such large and chaotic battles.

As they neared a particularly dark corner Polaris took the moment to power down before making her way out tiredly up the slowly thinning out subway stairs. Her plans for the day were completely forgotten. Baths and naps were in order.
