My eyes widen slightly in astonishment. "You feel comfortable around me? I... I mean I'm cold, shallow, I smoke too much and eat meat, and I kill people for a living! I'm your opposite! But... I guess I feel comfortable around you too... I have never met someone who accepted me for what I am." I am nerely finished with the radio. I connect it to the laptop and begin tuning it to the correct frequency.
(technical note: Railguns propel a metal slug at close to the speed of light. Very few modern firearms throw their bullets at LESS than the speed of sound.)

"Well, we are opposite, but you seem to understand me, better than most people actually." Bassarov sees that she is nearly done, so he patiently waits.

Deetric snaps his fingers. "Oh, Helene, there's one thing we have to do before anything else. We'll need to order a paternity test to prove that Bassarov is the father of your child before I do anything else. If we don't and they find out that he isn't than we'd be in serious trouble."
He watches Helene's face for a moment then frowns, "Fine. I won't try to have him locked but I'm telling you that you really should let me. He's dangerous! At least let me file charges on the rape case, he has to pay for his actions!"
The legal minded negotiator sighs, leaning against the wall, brushing his hair out of his face and scratching his head. "Your making my job more difficult with what I'm seeing as misplaced compassion. For Christ's sake the man raped you! Don't you want him to have to pay even a little bit?"

"What's wrong?" Kaze looks up at him.

"Oh." I say. "I guess I can understand you. It doesn't hurt though that I am pretty much incapable of suspician, but I don't see any reason for you to lie to me. Tepes wants me dead because I'm a security risk, so by staying here I am risking my life. This doesn't bother me anymore, I have friends here." I carefully adjust the frequency into the narrow band, then begin testing the device. A single light labeled "TX" blinks as the test signal goes out. A second, larger radio tuned into the VLF band begins to read out the signal. "It's complete. Do you need anything else before we go to Beijing?"

((Missed that attack, so I do have a wound. However, that serves my purposes even better))
I look at the attacks and draw blood from the wound that Raven made on me to create a huge gate that engulfs the attacks and launches them into the ground.
"I offer you this power, for it is mine to give. I am unlocking this power in all those that I meet, who are willing, in any event. With this power, few will be able to stand against us. All I ask is that you remember who granted you the power, should I ever have need of your aid."

"No, I am ready to teleport when you are." Bassarov gets up and stands next to Americanki.

"Okay." I grab Bassarov's wrist with a strength belying my size, and we teleport into a park in Beijing, about one mile from the International HQ.
(Hey, no offense intended... I just have a thing for getting technical matters right, that's all.)

Bassarov stumbles a little as he tries to gain his bearings. He gains his orrientation and looks around the crowded city, and up at the monstrous building of the International HQ. He is intimidated to be so near to the seat of Red Infinity's power.
"Luckily, most people will be busy with the Louhi attack...this is a good time to be in Beijing....we will be less noticed in respect to the grander sceme of things."

I laugh slightly at his response. I shake my head with a smile. I bow gratefully and look at the card for a sec. Then i look back at him and pout playfully.
"It doesn't matter if u were planning for me to pay for the meal, i mean i had my share of the food and i normally pay. But thank you, it's very kind of you" I say with a grin.
I stand up and wait for him by the door.
"Where do ya wanna go next?" I ask, in a very child like manner.

"Yes." I point at a bistro about 1/2 mile away from the HQ. "There is a good place to transmit, and of course to meet the mole. And don't worry about Red Infinity, I will protect you." I begin to walk towards the bistro.

I frown even more at Deetric.
-Ive told you. I want NOTHING from Bassarov. We are leaving the baby with the whole blood nymphs. They can protect him well enough and if they cant, Ill just kill who ever threatens them. Now...-
I pick up my bag of gear and follow Winter out.
-Coming Deetric? I would say you could stay here with the nymphs... but they are quite deadly when denied...-
I smile and walk out.

I will protect you? Bassarov smiles to himself. No one has ever taken care of him or offered to protect him. He follows to the bistro and waits for Zero to do her work.
"Well thank you. I am not entirely weak in combat, but I will say that it is not my thing. I am a thinker more than a fighter."
