"C-Courtney?" America started at the young lady he recognized before the Great War. "How are you back?"

Courntey just stared at America, what does she do, what can she do? America can just warn Britain and boom they will be back in their world, and Courtney won't know anything else about her family. Erick didn't even feel the space around him was in danger, he didn't even see Italy's face of horror, fear, and sadness. Finally the chains around Italy was off and Erick turned around, frozen at the sudden aperance of fucking America with hair and a human body.

"The hell." Erick mumbled under his breath.

America's glare turned to him, he doesn't know who he is. He was told Courtney had brought a friend, and it was pretty much his first time seeing him. When they invaded Reich's house America didn't get to see the two well, only hearing Courtney's name.

"You have grown at all." He said looking back at Courtney. "You're the same as last time I saw you."

Stepping into the room, Erick scooted back next to Italy, Courtney stayed where she was. America took a few more steps in, wanting to see her better due to the dark. Italy pulled her backwards as Erick kicked the country between the legs.

"ARGH!" America yelled out holding where Ericked kicked, crumbling to his knees. "Shit, you kid hard kid."

Courntey and Italy ran out as Erick followed the two, before he locked the door behind him. He looked back at America.

"It's not kid, it's Erick."

America heard the door shut behind him and then lock. He was about to get up, but the pain was still there. America laid on his sides as the pain slowly passed. Courtney and Erick quietly and rushing to the two German brothers, opening the door they saw the two sleeping with each other hugging one another. Courntey took out her phone and quickly snapped a picture, before carrying West as Erick carried East. Choco jumped into Courtney's backpack which Italy zipped up leaving a hole for the cat to breathe.

"Let's get out of here quick." Courntey whispered, carrying West infront of her and Choco in her backpack.

"We can go to Russia, your father knows him." Erick said, Courtney frowned.

"Wait, I need to write a letter to my father first." Italy said, so they waited for Italy to finish his letter, sliding it under F.I's bedroom door. "Let's go out in the back."

Erick nodded and tiptoed down the stairs with East on his back. Italy led them through the kitchen and they made it to the backdoor. Unlocking it and slowly opening it, the kids ran out. There was a back gate which they also passed, due to there being zero guards.

"Father was told not to put any guards, since I was hostaged." Itay said running to one of his father's car. "Who knows how to drive?"

"I'll do it." Courtney offered, putting West in the back seat, buckling him up. "Erick you rest."

After everything was ready, Italy tossed Courntey the keys he stole from his father's work room. Courtney put the key in and started the car, the engines became alive and she stepped on the gas pedal. Erick and Italy made a plan on how to cross the sea, but the trip to Russia would be long. The car gas tank was full and would last them a few days, Erick sat in the passenger's seat. Choco who was in the backpack in the backseats popped her head out, Italy unzipped the bag and Chocolate immediately jumped out onto his lap.

"I like your cat." Italy giggled softly, not wanting to wake his two friends. "She's fluffy."

"Thats Chocolate, and she's the best." Courtney giggled " Get some rest you two the trip would be long."

Italy sighed, the feeling of his father was gone, his grandfather didn't even help him. He knew grandpa hated his father, though what did he do to Rome? Why is this happening to his family, he hated the war, why did it even start? For more land and control, it's useless.

"So going to Russia would take a while, we would need to stay in a few countries." Erick said "Italy which countries had the Third Reich invaded?"

"Uh not sure about the total, but I heard he invaded Austria, and Poland." Italy counted.

Erick frowned, Poland was already invaded. The civilians are going to be tortured, men, women and children. Courtney, seeing Erick's face, decided to distract him.

"Hey you guys want to get some coffee?" She asked Erick "We never tried any good coffee shops."

"Sure, where tho?"

Italy said he knows a great coffee shop where his father and grandpa use to get their drinks before the war. The shop is still surprisingly open, must be because it is F.I's favorite place. They were going to pass the coffee place anyway so why not? Courntey parked the car between two buildings, and they all got out. West woke up as they parked and East was in his good dreams, Erick carried him as Courtney watched after Italy and West. Italy changed out of his pajamas and into warmer clothing better for the cold. They entered the coffee shop, it's almost daylight and the shop is strangely opened, weird. Entering the shop, there was no one good because all their paint on their faces were washed out, only hoods and scarves covering their faces.

"Why is it open?" Erick asked, "There is not a single person here."

"Don't know but there is some kaffee powder!" West said letting his German slip in. "We can make our own!"

"But I don't know if you are allowed to even drink caffeine." Erick thinks.

They aren't regular humans, but still they are children and their body might react the same way.

"How about I take you to a nearby store and you two can buy one each and eat it on the way to Russia?" Courtney asked. "Aslo West, get one for your brother."

"JA!"

"SÌ!"

Courtney took the two children to a late store as Erick makes two cups of coffee, one for him and her. He placed a few bucks on the counter with a cup over it, after all he isn't a thief unlike Courtney, but she has her story. The smell of coffee filled the shop, and the sun slowly came up, Erick sat on one of the seats with East sleeping on his lap, and started to enjoy his coffee watching as the sun slowly creeped out. The other three were lucky to find an early open children store, and the two of them picked a sweet treat. After paying for the cheap sweets Courtney started to walk back with the two, and they bumped into someone that none of them wanted to meet.

"Wait, is that Mr. Fance?" West pointed out to the man who was in a full blue uniform, who stared at the three.

"Yep thats him, quickly go the other way." Courtney backed Italy and West behind her. "You need to get back to Erick, I'll be distracted, Itay do you know the way?"

"SI." Italy nodded and he grabbed West's hand and dragged him back.

France was just out there wanting a good walk, one of his agents told him Third Reich had brought his whole family and would be in Rome in the afternoon. France thinks that Courtney, the other boy and the Riech's sons lost their way. But Otto's son Turkey bought them a train pass to Italy, so no way they would have jumped out of the train in the middle. Looking back up he noticed a person standing a few feet away from him, as people walked between them. There were two young children behind the figure, France didn't mind them at first but he saw the color of Italy on his face. Courtney spotted him and he saw as Italy dragged one of Reich's sons away, leaving him with the young lady which he suspected was someone.

(Courtney's POV)

Man I really need my coffee, but it does bring back some memories. Let's see if I can run on roofs again. In moments I quickly ran and looking back I saw France chasing after me, yelling for any officers to stop me. As if they would listen to another country they are fighting against. I hope Italy and West are safe, I have my phone. Erick can just give me a call and we will be out of here. There is a climbable building, so there is my chance.
