Stalin holds his hands up and shakes his head.
"We Georgians do not need reasons to give gifts, especially to beautiful women or the leaders of our political party." he said with a smile.

"Toivo, I think it is time for us to go."
I transform into a Swan and help him climb onto my back.
"Good luck to all of you and we will see you soon!"
I take to the air with Toivo on my back and start to fly towards our base in Tampere. I wonder how Grove and Roane are doing.

"If that is how it is, then I accept the gift graciously."
I take the gifts and bring them to a spare room. When I find the time, I will put them in a display case where they can be properly preserved.

"Yes, Mao gave them to me for my 70th birthday. They were only taking up space in my dacha and I figured you would appreciate them more. You know, I actually had an arm wrestling match with Mao." Stalin said in that nostalgiac tone you often hear your grandparents speak in.

"Welcome back Toivo and Swan. I haven't seen Roane and Grove for a while. I'm starting to get a little worried." I say to both when they arrive.

"And I imagine that you won that contest, did you?" My voice is still cool and reserved.

Stalin was about to say yes, then decided that since Violet is a telepath, lying would not be wise.
"Actually, no. Neither of us did. It was a draw." he said with a laugh. "He was very strong for his age..."

"It is strange that they made a series of Mao clones but never a Stalin clone." I remark.

"That is odd. I hope that Roane and Grove are okay."
I enter our treehouse, the one that Grove built, but feel worried or nervous over the two of them.

Stalin shrugged. "I found that a bit odd as well. Still, I'm sure you find it wierd to see yourself walking around - I know you found it strange the first time you saw me walking the halls of HQ." Stalin said with a laugh.
In fact, if I recall correctly, Violet almost jumped out of her skin she was so shocked to see Stalin. She looked as if she had seen a ghost... I wonder why?

"Yes, well, when I first met you I thought you might have been a clone since it seemed odd to see you alive and well 500 years in the future."

"Yes... It's a shame Lenin couldn't be here now. Sometimes I feel out of place here... like an ancient relic from a bygone era, sitting amongst plasma screeen hologram TV sets." he says, twirling the end of his mustache. He shakes his head. "But that doesn't matter.
"I could understand not making a clone of myself, but why do you suppose they never made a Lenin clone?" he asked, not in an accusing tone or anything, but a tone of genuine curiosity and interest.

I search some American cities until I get a tip from our spies that Hera has gone to Mexico. Following that tip, I go to the city that she was reportedly seen in.
++++++++++++
"Mexico, of all the obvious places to go when you are running from Red Infinity."
I meet with local party members who inform me that she checked into a hotel.
++++++++++
I go to her room, and pass through the door.
"Hera...for your connections with the LIF...you're going to be purged..."
I do not bother with guns, since I would prefer she die in shock or fear.
I do a partial transformation into my god beast form and strike at her with my deadly claws.
++++++++++++

I pause for a moment to measure my words.
"It is thought....that perhaps he would not approve of some of our policies...which is why we have not cloned or revived him."

"What are you doing?! I am loyal, ask Kolov or Donald Morton!!"
I fall to the ground as he claws at my back.
"Please...I don't like the LIF. I left them because they wanted to kill me! Please...you must believe me!!"
