His New Wife

"For Jon..."

    After a small chat about possible recruitment plans, Mark speaks up. "Pardon me if this is out of turn but..." He frowns. "Do you think me and Eduardo can...y'know...talk to Tord?" Edd looks at Mark suspiciously but relaxes when Mona gently places a hand on his shoulder. "Of course you two can...just promise no funny business, yes?" She smiles at them, but it seems protective. "Two of his most trusted soldiers are in his room. We wouldn't want anyone hurt." The neighbors agree and Mona giggles and skips over to Matt and Tom. Eduardo watches her a moment before shuddering. "Yeah...there's no doubt in my mind that her and the red creep are perfect for each other." Edd lets out a chuckle before standing. "She's actually not all that bad. She's just got a bit on her plate with taking over Tord's position right now." He brushes off the looks the neighbors give him as he glances at the others. "She has honestly been the only one to completely keep Tord in check so..." He shrugs and motions for Mark and Eduardo to follow him. "Well, let's go see Tord. Just...keep it civil, okay?"

   The two cars pull up and park in spaces pretty far from the hospital. Mona gets out, walking over to Eduardo and Mark's car. She smiles at them as they get out, then frowns. "I know I might be sounding...demanding, but we can't discuss too much about the rebellion here. Due to Patryk and Paul bringing him here, this place is directly linked to the Red Army. I've been told it's just an infirmary for the London location." Eduardo frowns as well, looking down at Mona. "So...basically under their noses?" Mona shakes her head. "Not exactly. I've already told Patryk to meet us at the doors. I don't know if the London site has heard about me but even if they have, it's easier to have a colonel escort you." She gestures for them to follow her as she walks back to Edd, Matt, and Tom. "These three have already been in and out, so the only real problem might be getting you two in." Edd scoffs, a small smile on his face. "I'm sure there won't be any problems. You said Patryk was meeting up with us, right? These people would never question a colonel, let alone a right hand man to Tord." Mona smiles at the green clad male. "You have a point."

    Patryk smiles as the group enters, waving to them. "Hey, it's about time you all made it!" He hurries over, hugging Mona and nodding to the trio. Patryk soon turns his attention to Eduardo and Mark. "And who are these two?" Mona smiles. "I can't believe you don't remember them, Pat. This is Eduardo, the man I talked to before we got the apartment. And this is Mark, his flatmate." The two wave and Patryk nods. "I see...and are they here for...?" He trails off and Mona nods once. "So let's hurry up and see Tord! How's he been so far?" Patryk laughs as the others follow the duo. "He won't shut up about you! Y'know, Red Leader is talking mine and Paul's ears off about how he wants to set up the wedding~!" Mona's face goes red and Patryk laughs. "He's very excited about marrying you, Mona. He really does love you." Her face flushes more, swatting at the older male. "Shut up!" Eduardo eyes the two closely, noting their sibling-like relationship. It seems this Patryk guy is like an older brother to Mona. He snaps out of his thoughts when they all stop in front of a door. Patryk knocks twice before a muffled 'come in' was heard. The door opens and they all walk in.

   Mona skips in and goes to Tord's bedside. "Hello darling! I'm back!" She lets out a small giggle as she hears the heart monitor beep a little faster. "Min rose, welcome!" Tord calls, smiling softly. Mona leans down and kisses him gently before smiling more. "So! You have some more visitors! They...wanted to see you." Tord looks at his fiancée in confusion before spotting Eduardo and Mark near his door. He visibly pales and Edd quickly speaks up. "Th-They aren't here to hurt you or anything! They actually want to talk to you. Y'know...about that thing." He whispers the last part and Tord gulps. "Yes...o-of course..." He motions for the duo to come closer. "So...Tord..." Mark starts, looking over all the machinery carefully. "We heard about what you're planning. And...we just wanted to let you know that we're going to be a part of your cause." He glances at Eduardo, who has his arms crossed. "Yeah...we're gonna help Edd and the others out." He glares at Tord, who recoils. "But this doesn't mean we forgive you. By any means. We just want this stupid invasion plan over with..."

    There was a moment of silence before Tord smiles. "Yes of course...I understand. I know I can't do much now but give you my thanks...for everything you're doing for me and my dream." Eduardo nods as Mark shakes Tord's good hand. "We're happy to start working for you, sir." Mark says and Mona notices how subtle he's being with this whole thing. She'll have to thank him later. Tord nods, giving the blonde a big grin. "Happy to be looking over you, soldier." Paul walks over, patting the neighbors on the back. "Main base or Sector B?" He asks. After not answering for a moment, Mona smiles. "Sector B is the rebellion. It was something he and Patryk came up with while we were gone." She whispers in Eduardo's ear. "O-Oh. Uh, Sector B. I suppose." Paul nods and smiles. "Sounds good. Let us know if you ever need anything, yeah?" Mark smiles and looks at Eduardo. "Yeah...we will."

   Mona waves goodbye to Eduardo and Mark as they leave, Paul escorting them back to their car. She looks at the others, smiling. "This...is going so much smoother than I ever imagined...and it's all thanks to you." She takes Edd's hand, who blushes softly. "Oh no! Really, we wouldn't have done this if it weren't for Tord!" He says, laughing nervously. Mona giggles and moves from the brunette. "Still...you and the others didn't have to do this...but here you are. Thank you...it means a lot to me and Tord. And I'm sure it means a lot to Patryk and Paul too." A nod from the remaining colonel makes Edd smile. "It's no problem...though me, Matt, and Tom have to go." He stands, making Matt pout. "Aw, why?" Edd smiles back at him as the two friends stand.

"Can't start a rebellion without members, now can we?"
