Tristan stared at him with concern as he helped him out. "This isn't the time to convince others..we should go " he said very softly as Darylin headed off toward the front of the building. A well dress man stopped her for a moment and offered to hold the door.
Tristan glanced at them and moved to Kris's other side when he froze and grabbed Kris turning around to reopen the door. "Mafia!" He hissed moments before gunfire erupted behind him and Darylin started screaming, . On the other side of the car was a well dress women and man were nearly upon them when one of them looked at Tristan and smirked faintly. "Sleep "
Tristan tried to shove Kris back into the car struggling before he collapsed.
"Oopsy..." the women said in amusement as the man longed a gun at the security officer's window.

Zaku frowned, staring at him. Maybe he was right. Again waning on his ability to stay clearly focused on what was going on.
He was barely able to understand the situation as Tri shoved him back then collapsed. A small growl as he realized now what was happening. In that instance, his priority was Tri. In the end, nothing mattered as he made every effort to drag Tri into the car with him and shut the door. "Drive!" he commanded. Darylin was near the door and safer to get inside then return to the car. They had to leave. His deamenor had shifted from one of clumbsiness to one of seriousness. He was still having trouble moving, the alcohol still fairly in control of him but at this moment, he was focused. He checked Tri for a pulse in case he had been shot. Vines were starting to creep up and grab hold of the mafia members to try to hold them off for a moment while Zaku shook Tri, trying to wake him up. "Tristan..." there was a pause as he leaned close enough to whisper "...tri wake up.." he spoke very softly, using power in hopes that it would do something... anything.

The officer let out a breath of relief that he was at least quick on his feet as she gunned the car, nearly running over another guy who went to join the first. The guy pointing a gun at her fired but the bullet richochet back after bouncing off the bullet proof glass. "Keep your head down " she shouted back at Kris as she tore off down the road weaving before turning sharply into another street. On the ground the Mafia members were shouting into their phones many while entangled in vines but none of them took chase. Tri gasped awake and tried to pull himself up slightly disoriented but obviously knowing what had happened. "Where are they?" He said seriously, glancing toward the driver then to Zaku.

Zaku stared at Tri, staying down as best as he could, practically on top of Tri by now as things were moving so quickly. When he woke up, he looked incredibly relieved even if the worried expression never left him. He had to fight the urge to just hug him right then, able to refrain barely. "...you're okay.." he spoke and glanced up. "We are driving off.." he answered, not even sure himself. "I think we are okay.." he observed then looked to Tri. "Are you hurt?" His entire focus was on Tri right now, not even remotely aware of anything else at this moment.

Tristan looked up at him taking a deep breath then nodded. "I'm not hurt. Are you?" He said blankly, falling into that more easily than not especially as he remembered that was still one more person they had to fool. "Where are we going?" He said carefully, shifting under Kris until his wings weren't trying to bend in ways they weren't designed to.
"Toward a safe house until I can get back with my team. " was the grim reply from the officer as she continued driving and trying to loose any followers. She didn't see any the first time which worried her now. "We're going to be driving aimlessly for a while until we get help ..l" she informed them,tense as she finally took the time to make a call and keep driving. Norcrest was different and it was the same, from the once open city there were more security now that n the windows and even reinfrcem nuts along the walls and doors as if expecting fighting or accustom to it. Every now and then there would be a soldier with the symbol on the fox on their should making rounds with those with an elk on their own.

Zaku sighed with a heavy sense of relief as he just gave up on trying to strain to keep his weight off him, succumbing to laying on him as he was mumbling very quietly. Quiet enough that even Tri would have a bit of difficulty understanding him. A little. "...i'm an idiot... i shouldn't have left... why am i always making a mess of things... maybe lonely because of that stupid ring and I don't know what I was thinking... I wasn't intending to drink... it was an accident... i just... i don't know what i was doing... i was just relieved about ellanor and you were trying to warn me... but i wasn't listening... why didn't i listen... i'm sorry... this is my fault... im sorry..."
Yeah, he was trying not to cry, that would just be the perfect picture of a drunk socialite in the wake of a mafia attack, crying over his bodyguard meta. Yep, he was goooooone. The adrenaline having worn off and now making no sense again, mumbling incoherently.

Tri's stony look faded slightly to concern as he hesitantly raised and hand to gently stroke his hair. "Sleep" he said quietly, the officer was to busy driving and talking to pay attention to them as long as they stay down. He could phase up at any time if there was trouble but for now it was a respite and after this and his episode he needed it.
"Uh huh ..yes. Okay turning in now ......gotcha bye" she hanged up and kept driving, if they were bleeding out right now there was nothing she could do anyways other than get there. After a bit of time she moved into a building and parked. " okay both of you out.... we're staying here for a bit until we can figure out how to get you back " she said loooking back but Tri had already stopped stroking Zaku's hair.

Zaku just rested on him, wanting to fall asleep but his mind was racing and wouldn't quit. He had at least quieted down, even closing his eyes for a few moments but sleep wouldn't come. At least he settled down for the moment, the feeling of Tri stroking his hair setting him at ease for now even if it only served to increase the pain in his chest.
When instructed to get out, he reluctantly pushed himself off of Tri and tried his best to exit the car, having trouble with his coordination. Once he was out, he kept his distance from the others. He stared at Tri for a very long time before he looked down and sighed....... Gaia, he was an idiot. Leaning on Tri for stability he whispered under his breath. ".....is there... a reason you're not teleporting... or are you waiting for me to say so...." he whispered softly, out of ear shot of others. He was already kicking himself for being too drunk to have thought about it until now.

The others being only two more officers that the first one went to talk to. They were in a warehouse with a couple more cars and an office. Silently the first officer pointed them toward the office. "Stay in there until we're ready to move " she told them before turning back to the others. "Now what were you saying? ...." she trailed off but they all looked nervous. Tri followed him, supporting him as Zaku moved away from the others. It was hard not to notice his stare, his whispers. He sighed softly then blinked as they moved away "....Waiting for your say so..since we will be using this character again " he said very quietly.

Zaku nodded, then looked to the others. "I think.. it will be fine. My meta can teleport me to a safer location outside of mafia range." he commented, still drowsy sounding. "I appreciate your protection... and I apologize for..causing all this." he took the blame since they wouldn't have been outside if he had just stayed at the party. "....Tristan... please take us home..." he ordered, just wanting to leave and get out of here. He obviously wasn't feeling well and all in all, he did what he needed. Everything else was just a downhill avalanche of bad luck.

The security officer turned to look sharply back at them before looking relieved. "Good .. be careful. They might still be tracking " she said as they all turn to watch now what Tri was going to do.
Tri nodded quietly as he summoned two artifacts and light gathered around them before he teleported them back to the base in Banor. It was quiet a few Renegade members wandering around but there was a feeling of exhaustion in the air as Tri relaxed finally. "That was close...How are you feeling? We're you able to give the command?"

Zaku was so relieved to be back in the base as he almost near collapsed but somehow was able to barely stay standing. Placing a hand on his head, he nodded. ".....everything is spinning..." he mumbled. ""...y-yeah... I gave the command..." he confirmed and exhaled shakily. "...i'm....i'm sorry..." he muttered regretfully. He had made such a mess of things. Why hadn't he been more careful and attentive... dammit.

"Good " he looked relieved as he looked back at him closely. "I still can't believe you started drinking there ...let's get you back to your room " he said quietly, moving in to help him back. "And any questions you have now I can answer...we should be on standby as we wait for the vote " he said glancing toward one Renegade member and motioning to where Andy's room was.

"...it wasn't intentional... I didn't know the first one was alcohol.... from there, I lost control.... i'm sorry.... i could have gotten us killed...." he sighed softly, moving with Tri to wherever he was taking him.
The mention of questions he paused, frowned, a deep pain in his expression. "...who is the other person..." he asked very softly. "...you had a ring on when I first saw you... or.. i mean.. saw you before the mission...." he swallowed hard, trying to keep composure but failing. "....who did you marry..." he asked, his heart already breaking. "...i hope they make you happy..."
He took another shaky breath, not exactly ready for this, but this would be the only time he'd get to ask it before he probably passed out, maybe even forget what was said... it didn't matter.

Tri listened to him and nodded quietly as he helped him along until they got to his room. "....." he looked at him sadly but didn't answer the question, instead he shook his head. "Give me a moment" he said quietly resting him again the wall and phased to open the door from the inside. Once it was open he tried to help him inside, a concern look on his face as he closed the door.
"I married yes.... "he said quietly leaning him to the bed, the same room where Zaku woke up looking at the mirror. It wasn't noticeable but there were hints that not just one person lived here but perhaps two with the double combs and shoes and dressers. Tri smiled at him faintly and kissed him lightly on the mouth "and I am happy...when you're not being stupid" he smirked faintly but it was tempered by sadness that Zaku did not remember even if it wasn't the first time.
