To Hell and Back

Part 12

S- Kara recoiled pulling her hand away as Neo steadied himself. Kara took a moment to process the fresh batch of information that had been burned into her brain before she looked up at Neo for a moment. The way things ended with Richthofen had been endearing, but she had gotten the full story as well. All the memories of the abuse he suffered since he was kid the scar on his neck and the many scars littering his body.

Neo looked at Kara for a long moment unsure if he was angry or not about her knowing everything. In the end Neo simply walked by her. He couldn't exactly be mad at her most of those memories were a hard burden to carry after all.

Kara had to stabilize herself for a moment to shake off the after effects. She would need to better cover herself when possible she had been using her abilities far too much in the past couple days. She lifted her hand under nose to confirm and sure enough blood was on her hand when she removed it. With a shake of her head she walked over towards Richthofen.

"Always kind of liked and respected you Manfred.....significantly more so now", Kara said softly before continuing on.

"Finally off that deathtrap of a boat", John said hurriedly getting far away from the water."Heh.....jeez John.....you'll take on three shifters on foot solo, but the sight of water makes you turn pale as a ghost.....seriously how have you not learned how to swim yet", Jarrod said teasingly.

Z- Richthofen looks her over, not sure why to say in response, a bit of confusion on his face a moment. He then notices her nose bleeding, and takes out a handkerchief and hands it to her. "Thank you, I suppose? Here, hold onto this... might help with... that, at least. Maybe start wearing gloves too, yeah?"

With that, he follows off after Neo, staying quiet as well, exhaustion written on his face. Oliver, who had slipped out to tie up the boat, looks up at the two Americans at that, looking like he just watched someone slap his mother. "He doesn't know how to swim? How can he not know how to swim?"

Bis doesn't say anything, watching from the dock and shaking his head, chuckling to himself. Toki climbs out of the boat after them, but doesn't say anything, not wanting to get into it.

S- Kara nearly smiled a moment as she saw the confused look on Richthofen's face. She did accept the handkerchief though as she dabbed at her nosebleed

"Yes gloves would be.... not so bad an idea it would seem at least for a bit", Kara said.As Richthofen walked over Neo glanced at him noting the man's exhaustion and gave him a concerned look. Neo wasn't sure if it was just exhaustion from the fight or if he was struggling with his more animalistic side. It certainly wasn't a pleasant thought thinking that Richthofen could go feral at some point. He wasn't sure he could bring himself to attack him if it came to it.The two American's meanwhile looked at Oliver. Jarrod sensing the opportunity to have someone else give John shit was quick to chuckle.

"I know! And he's been around since freaking forever", Jarrod said

"How can you not spot an iceburg", John said as he continued walking all stoic and in his usual bad mood.

"Iceburg?...", Jarrod asked a bit confused.

Kara meanwhile walked over to Bis and looked at the man for a moment."Well somehow we managed to cross the channel.....we'll take you to headquarters and from there I suppose they will work out the details of what you can do for us and what we can do for you", Kara said.
