Aries groaned and managed to stand up, he guessed the others ran ahead without him. He would get back at them later. "Son of a---I'm gonna kill that damn kid." he cursed, keeping his injured eye closed to protect it.Elsa saw Aries get up and had the nerve to shoot him in the head on sight but that wouldn't do very good. "How dare you get up." she seethed, running ahead and putting the barrel of her gun to his head, forcing him to turn around so she could cuff him. "That kid is the least of your problems." she growled, shoving him onto the bed and keeping a strict eye on him until the police arrived.Leo felt arms around his body and uncovered one of his ears just in time to hear his brother's voice. He continued to shake as he clutched Ash's neck so tight he might have lost breath. "I thought you weren't coming..." he whispered softly, not daring to let go for anything.

Asher would have chuckled if it was the right time for such a thing. He just tightened his hold on Leo. "Really? You know me better than that," he said. The sound of sirens and the shouting of Mexican policemen came from outside and it seemed most of the drama was over. That is, until Gramps returned to the room looking devastated. It took Asher a small moment to figure out why.Once the police had arrested the Triforce members in the lobby, Cherry and Chase entered the open room where everyone else seemed to be. Upon seeing Leo, they nearly collapsed with relief. "Leo, you're safe!" the female twin exclaimed, both exhausted and happy. "We nearly expected the worst to happen." She saw the horror on Old Damican's face as well as the disturbed expression on Asher's. "Eh? What's wrong? You two don't look very happy."

Leo relished the feeling of his brother's arms but he didn't have to see in order to understand the shared expression. "I think they took Raki away. I don't know where though." he said softly, tugging on Asher's shirt. "Can we please just go home? I don't want to be here anymore!" He begged softly.Elsa allowed the police to take the man away, following him with her gaze to make sure he wouldn't even try to escape. "Leo's right, we can't stay here. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth. We should get everyone to the hotel room."

Daniel very much wanted to just go after Raki, but everyone was tired and there was no way they could go anywhere, especially when no one knew where his grandson was being taken. "A-alright... Let's go to the hotel," he declared reluctantly. He stepped outside to talk to the policemen about the missing members and Raki. Hopefully, they would look for them. Asher's blood ran cold upon hearing that Raki was still in the clutches of the remaining gang leaders. He would have gone after them, but he had to take care of Leo. His little brother had had enough drama for maybe a lifetime. "Yeah, we'll go home," he told him. "Can you stand, Leo?" It was an odd question, considering Asher was the one with a bullet in his leg, but he would expect that Leo might be too traumatized to stand.

Leo was still trying to calm himself down, it was like a dream that everyone was here now. "I think so...b-but where did all of the blood come from? I can still feel it on my hand..." he said nervously, rubbing his fingers together and feeling the thick liquid cover his skin. Then he remembered the gun shot he heard earlier. "Wait....did you get shot!? Are you okay!!??" he asked his brother, using his hands to search the older man's body just in case.

Asher made sure to keep his brother away from his leg. "I'm fine, Leo. This isn't my blood.," he said, proceeding to stand up. It was partial truth. Some of the red fluid was already there before he was shot. He bit his lip, but could not keep in a small sound from escaping. It was really painful to stand. "Don't worry about me, alright?"

Leo could hear Asher's strained voice as he tried to stand. "You're lying...you're hurt aren't you!" he said worriedly, getting to his own feet and taking his brother's arm to help him up. "Come on, lean on me." he said softly, allowing his brother to guide him through the room so they could get out safely. "Cherry! Chase! He needs help!" Leo called out, remembering their voices from earlier.Elsa watched Leo help Asher to his feet and couldn't help but feel bad for shooting the poor guy. But it was either injure the man or subject him to years in prison for killing the gang member. She hoped Leo wouldn't blame her much. "Come on, we need to go. Rin's still waiting in the car and she's probably scared out of her mind with all the police around."

Asher was about to respond to his brother that they had no time, but knew Leo would just continue to worry if the hole was not taken care of. The teen could then only remain still while the twins, who had earlier been bickering for reasons unknown, tended to his bullet wound, muttering about needing to take out the bullet. One of them, he couldn't see which, started digging into the wound with one of their pens of all things. "Don't you have tweezers or something?" he hissed just moments before the metal slug was removed and dropped. They then proceeded to write and chant their healing spell. Once finished, he led Leo to the car. They would be going home very soon.Cherry chanted the spell while her brother wrote, closing up the bullet wound within minutes. "Done!" she declared and the twins stood. "It might sting for a while more, but you're all fixed up for now. What is it with you and getting injured when you try to be a hero, anyway?" Her statement got her elbowed by Chase, as if it was an insensitive thing to say. "Anyway, let's go. We lingered long enough." They hurried to the car, leaving the brothers to follow when ready.Daniel had finished speaking to the policemen and was the last to exit the building. Slipping to the driver's seat of the vehicle, he found himself frozen, his mind focusing on worrying about Raki. The old man was torn, unable to decide whether he should return home and let the police handle the search or if he should look for Raki with them. For one thing, Legion needed him, but what kind of grandfather would he be if he put no effort into bringing his grandson home?

"You were lying to me!" he shouted at his brother as they quickly made their way to the car but he decided to stifle the rest of his bickering for now. He felt his body slide into another small space on top of his brother's lap and guessed they were in the car; Leo tried to keep calm but being in small spaces was difficult after what he had been through.Elsa hurried to the car as well and saw Daniel's hesitance, even if she didn't like it, Daniel was a father to that kid. She gave a soft sigh and leaned against the open driver's side window. "Why don't you go with the cops and meet us at the hotel later? One of the twins can drive us." she mentioned softly, hoping Daniel would accept the offer.

Daniel briefly looked up at Elsa and then looked away with a small smile. "If you are alright with it, then I will go, but we won't meet at the hotel," he said. "You must get back to the headquarters tomorrow. I'll likely be transported back by other means." He turned toward Asher before the latter had a chance to speak. Daniel had a feeling his grandson would want to join him on the search. "Leo needs you, Asher. It wouldn't be fair for him if you left right after the two of you had just been reunited." With that, he exited the car while the green-eyed twin quickly took over. "I shall call frequently," he told them before leaving.Asher ignored Leo's small scolding, as it wasn't the time for it, and continued to lead his brother to the car. After entering, he sensed Leo's discomfort and ran his hand through his hair again. "We're just in Gramp's car. Nothing to be afraid of," he whispered as soothingly as was appropriate. Hearing his grandfather's desire to stay behind, he was about to volunteer to assist him, but the old man interrupted him. He could only sit while Chase got into the driver's seat and Gramps left to join the policemen.

Leo gave a soft sigh and closed his eyes, listening to his brother's heartbeat to calm himself down and take him to another place where he wouldn't feel so claustrophobic. "It's all over now....It's finished..." he kept telling himself softly.Elsa could feel herself growing more angry by the minute, she knew what would happen if she allowed her anger to take over. That couldn't happen while they were in the car, she could blow up everyone inside. Elsa quickly slid into the car next to her sister. "Get in here fruit-head!" she called to Cherry. "We need to go..now!"

Cherry watched as Old Damican left the area in a police car and horror had filled her mind. She did not get to try to interpret it, though, as Elsa had yelled at her. Quickly, she entered the car and slid into the seat next to her brother and Chase finally drove out of the parking lot to the hotel they had been at before. "Well, what are we gonna do while Old Damican's away?"

Elsa got out as soon as the car came to a stop at the parking lot. "We're going to rest here for a day or two. Then we'll go home." she said softly, it wasn't much of a plan but it would suffice for now. To be honest she didn't know what they were going to do now either. "Go inside, I'll meet you there." she instructed everyone. Elsa met her sister's worried gaze and shielded her mind from Rin's prying telekinesis. "I'll be fine...you go with the others." Her ears pricked on high alert with anxiety.Rin had kept quiet in an attempt to calm herself during the whole fiasco but with the police near the car just minutes ago it was more difficult to calm herself. She was more worried for her sister though, Elsa was probably really mad and they both knew what would happen if she didn't keep herself under control. Rin didn't believe Elsa's words but she followed instruction with submissive ears.Leo got out of the car just fine, it may have seemed selfish but right now he wasn't concerned about anyone else about him and Ash. He just wanted to find something to eat and take a long nap. Seemed like so long ago that he was able to have that luxury. "Are you okay Ash?" he asked softly, hearing his brother get out of the car as well.

Cherry lingered while everyone else went inside. Did she have to talk with Elsa again? "Alright, what's got your tail in a twist?" she asked with that dumb smile she wore to mask her seriousness. It might have been unwise to be near an angered Elsa, but she had survived in the other times. This should be no different."Yeah, I'm fine," Asher answered while he led Leo to the hotel, though he was starting to become less okay. His bullet wound didn't hurt anymore, so he was alright physically, but he had some ominous feeling that this wasn't really over. Maybe it was for Leo, but not for everyone else. "What about you? They hurt you, didn't they? Are you feeling any better?" He recalled how Rin had spit blood because Leo had been injured, and the teen worried that his brother hadn't recovered yet.

Leo placed a hand on his stomach. "I'm okay....just a little sore. I haven't eaten much of anything lately." he said softly, not wanting to worry his brother much more than he already was. "I just want to rest for a while. I'm so tired."Elsa hated it when someone lingered behind out of curiosity. "Don't say I didn't warn you." she said softly, turning her back and allowing her anger to manifest itself as bright red and orange flames on her skin. "We should have been there sooner! I should have killed that man instead of letting him be arrested! Prison is too good for the likes of him." she growled.
