She hadn’t spoken to Kata. Hadn’t wanted to speak with her sister. But, she was waiting for Galya, in fact, was in her room waiting for her to come home.
It was as things always were when she wanted to talk to her sister, and Dasha lay, her head hanging over the bed, feet and legs against the wall, eyes focused on her sister’s doorway.
When Galya came home, she’d lock the door to give them both privacy…and she could go ahead and make her plea for corruption. And throw their deceiving sister under the bus and give the news about Victoria all in one breath…and then sometime soon…they would both go to Valjean.
And they would both be remade and they would live happily ever after, and nothing could stop them.
A nasty part of Dasha’s mind whispered that she could just take Kata’s starseed and…well. No. She wouldn’t do that. Kata was her sister, even if she was narrow minded and selfish. She wouldn’t ever actively hurt her sister, no matter how angry she was but.
…Oh, it would be so idea to find Victoria before all of this happened…though they were running out of time…but.
That was all right. Everything would be all right.
After all, Dasha’s mind was made up.

Gayla had walked into the house and thought something seemed amiss. Kata wasn't in her normal spot; having mentioned something about moving out a couple of days ago.
Dasha had been out who knows where Gayla didn't bother she continued to work her job and do some vigilante stuff on the side. It was fine she sighed as she looked over towards her sister's room as she sat her work bag down.
Things were . . . well a bit tense around the house but Gayla figured the explanation would come sooner than later. Things were always a bit iffy since Feliks had gone missing.
"What's wrong?" She asked Dasha as she walked into her twins room and sat down beside her. Watching the other get up to lock the door behind them. Yup . . . something had happened.

“Lots of things are wrong, Gala. I.” Dasha forced herself into a sitting position, crossing her legs and scowling, not at her sister just…in general. At everything. “I found out that Feliks is a senshi. Sailor Victoria, is what I was told. By Kata.”
Her eyes were burning with anger, and again, the idea of being able to just…silence her sister was…a nice one.
“Five years. She kept that information from us for five years. Because she wanted to find him herself. I never knew we had such a selfish sister…and I honestly.”
Her hands were shaking, and she drew in a breath, clenching them in her lap and blowing the breath out slowly.
“I don’t even know what to do. But I’m very angry.”

Galya's cheeks puffed as she listened to Dasha and thought. "So that's why she's moving out."
Was the choice of words she decided on to start with. Her brain was processing the information she'd been given and sighed leaning back against the wall. Her hand dragging through her hair as she thought on the subject. "Five years is a long time to keep a burden. For which someone is scared what the others will say. 'How could you let him disappear'; 'Why didn't you stop him'; 'Why didn't you tell us'."
Galya's pink eyes gazed over to her angry sister. "I assume you just yelled at her. She probably didn't want us to do anything rash. Besides we weren't really senshi when he disappeared, we became senshi shortly after he disappeared. What could we have done?"
She sighed, "I'm disappointed she didn't tell us. But really sister think about it. We've lied to her -- we haven't told her who we were to keep her safe. Is that any different for us to lie to her?"
Was Galya mad? If she was she didn't show it. Her words though did contain disappointment. "I understand your anger. But we now know who he is; we can start from there. I assume she hasn't had any luck on her own. We have a whole network of senshi we could search to see if we can locate him or what happened to him."

Dasha paused and looked to her sister, waiting for…something. Anything. A reaction. Indignation…anything but. There was nothing. Disappointment…wasn’t.
“We were supposed to be a family, Galya. We should have done more for him. We could have. We’re the oldest now that he’s gone. Kata should have trusted us. Confided in us. How…can you be so utterly blasé about this? Did you know too? Were you all just keeping it from me?”
Secrets. Lies and secrets…it. Made her feel sick.
Honestly, if she could contact Valjean. She would go to him right now. Leave all behind right now. Leave this family behind leave.
Drawing in another slow, long breath, Dasha stood up, humming softly. “All right. Well. I’m leaving the senshi. I promised myself to the Negaverse in exchange for the life of a civilian. So. I’ll be joining them by the end of the week. I would love if you would come with me.”
An invitation…but.
…One that she would see would happen regardless, if given the chance.

There was a sigh, "We are a family Dasha. I'm blasé about this because you're over here - reacting so irrationally as to make our sister want to move out. I haven't even gotten her side of why she kept it from us. She had to have a good reason."
She was rubbing her temple as she spoke. She felt a stress headache coming on. Why'd she have to be older by a few minutes.
It was then Dasha dropped a bomb on her. "You're WHAT!?" She stood up and moved over to her twin looking her in the eye. ". . . Tell me looking me in the eye what you did?" Galya didn't want to hear that. Why - how . . . the thought made her uncomfortable. What could they offer? They couldn't get their brother back . . . . Who even knew where he was. . . .

Dasha drew away slightly, scowling. “What I did? He had the guy’s starseed in his hand. And he told me he’d put it back if I came with him, so I agreed. We’ll be meeting on Friday. It’s a done deal. I’m almost done getting my things together. It had to be done to save a life, Gal.”
She reached out and patted her sister on the top of the head. “Again, I’d love if you came with me, but if not. That’s fine but. A promise is a promise.”
She paused and thought about it for a moment. “You can go with me, to see me off, if you wanted. I’d like to have you there. To get one last hug and all.”
…Maybe she’d find a way to let Valjean know that he’d have to do something to bring Gala in against her will after all.

"And did he take it back from the man after you left? How do you know he kept his side of that promise?" Gayla asked looking at her sister concerned. "Why do you act so flippantly and without a second thought of the consequences?"
Gayla looked overwhelmed trying to figure out how this came about. "What did you do when Kata told you about Feliks?" She wanted to change the subject she didn't want to think about it and yet she circled back around.
"I - - can't make such a life changing decision just as lackadaisical as you can Dasha. I need more information what's the point of going over there?" The woman had stood up and started to pace a bit. "What do we leave behind? What about mom and dad? What if this is what happened to Feliks - what if he's gone because they got him? Do you really want to be part of whatever that is?"

Dasha grit her teeth and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Then take your sweet time. Think about it. Do whatever you have to do, but I’m keeping my promise. I have been thinking about it since I made the promise. If you want more information, that’s fine.”
She shook her head and turned away. “I was really angry. And I powered up in front of her and left. Just like I’m going to do now. I don’t want to argue, and I really just. Thought this would be a different conversation but. It wasn’t.”
Rubbing the bridge of her nose once again, Dasha glanced at her sister and forced a smile. “Just. Please think about it, okay? I’ll talk with you later. I love you, and if you don’t want to come with me, it’s completely fine! Just…think on it.”
Waving a hand, she looked away again. “I’m going out to hunt for our brother. I’ll see you later, Gala.”

Gayla sighed softly, she was curious looking at her sister. "Please don't be that way, but how do you think I'd react? You know I like to think things over before we act. That's why we make a good team."
There was a sad smile, "I need to think anyways; maybe see if I can find some people that'll talk to me about how things work with this corruption. I might grab some food before I go out . . ."
She paused, "Let me know if you have anyone that I should talk to."

“If you can find Valjean, he’s wonderful. Um. But I don’t have any more names for you, really. Nobody who would have helpful advice but. I’ll…keep looking too, promise.”
Dasha looked back and sighed, giving another smile. “Love you, and see you soon. Be safe.”
