"You get pissed" Victoria rolls her eyes again,abusing her poor eyeballs as she chuckles at the thought. 

 

"And would happen if i do piss you off?" She tests, a look of clear condescension on her face. "What do i care? I could use a good bar fight every once in a while. Would remind me of home."

"My problem?" Victoria asks slyly, as if she was vaguely insulted by the whole affair. "My problem is that i have a healthy amount of doubt when people drop Eleven Hundred dollars on two twenty dollar bottles of Jaeger."

 

Vicky tilts her head towards Star "My problem is when people like you bother acquaintances of mine with nagging conspiracy theories and fabricated evidence. "

 

Victoria Basalt smiles. "My problem is really that i just dont like you, you drunk."

"Calm down you two, The minute either of you start punching each other, Kimari won't think twice in kicking you out. Keep that in mind and think about it. He doesn't play favorites." Thomas says.

 

Kimari patiently waits for the outcome.

Victoria snorts at Thomas's words, unclenching her fist and kicking back slightly. "You are the boss" She says, sarcastically, but makes no further move to fight Zach.

Star growled as she looked at Kora cowering against the wall on her seat. Looking at the two, she shoved zack away from Victoria and spoke in an upset tone.

 

"Both of you knock your shit off! First off, their is a child here and I ALSO dont want to hear bitching that I brought her here. SECOND, You guys are Grown. Adults. and you need to act like it. Zack, you are drunk. I suggest you get the fuck out of here before you cause anymore ruckus, because you've done a lot of that tonight. When you can CALMLY talk and be civil, feel free to come back. But for now, go home and take a nap or something". She then looked to Victoria.

 

"Relax V, I got it handled. I would really appreciate it if you or someone else can watch Kora while I escort Zack out" she said calmly. She then grabbed Zack by the arm and started leading him out.

With tight posturing, Victoria clicks her non existent military boot heels and gave Star a good ole fashioned Bellamy salute. "C'mon, kid." She says, smiling widely and turning her back on Zack. "I'll get you another soda."

"Please watch Zack for me, Kimari. I still don't trust him." Thomas says, pointing to Star and Zack. Kimari nods and proceeds to assist in leading him out the door.

Zack followed Star out of the bar not showing and emotion or looking at anyone.

Casino pouted a bit as the most recent source of entertainment left the bar. She decided that she may as well talk to someone.

 

"So what's your story?" She asks Amelia. "You seem a bit more... eh... uh.... Well... people here aren't exactly..."

 

"Grounded." Her sister finished.  

 

"Yeah! That!" Casino agrees.

"Wha--Me?" Amelia looks up from her phone as she was checking the time. And she was about to return a missed call, but someone spoke to her. "...Oh, um, I'm just doing a bit of shopping, and decided to stop in for a drink." She mused for a moment. "...So, you said everyone had their reason for coming here," she said to the more well spoken of the duo. "What are your reasons, if any?"

Both twins answered at the same time.

 

"We wanted a shrimp cocktail."

"A co-worker told us about this place."

 

They stop to take a look at each other.

 

"A co-worker told us about this place."

"We wanted a shrimp cocktail."  

 

Casino shoots her sister a dirty look who clams up. "We heard about the place from a co-worker and wanted a shrimp cocktail."

Star led him out of the bar and gave him a stern look.

 

"Go home, kid. You are drunk as fuck and are making a scene of absolutly nothing. I won't allow my friends nor my child to be subject to that, so until you can be civil, you're kicked from the bar. You are not to even attempt to step into that bar for at least 3 days, unless you want to be led out in a more forceful manner" Star said before turning her back on him and walking into the bar. She then approached Victoria and saw that she was kindly taking care of Kora.

 

"I told the lad not to come back til he can be civil. He tries to come back before his 3 days of banishment are up, then let me know and I'll boot his ass out again. Either way though, he's outta your hair for now" she said as she sat next to Kora.

 

"Thanks for watching the little one by the way".

Kimari, still outside, shakes his head at Zack, and returns back into the bar.

 

Thomas returns to his wheelchair and wheels back over to his barstool, next to Victoria and Star. "I'm glad we cleared that situation...who knows what he would of done." he adds.

Victoria shrugs and motions towards Thomas. "Thanks for getting him out of here without destruction of property. God knows Kage would have rode my ass if i had broken something. But you really didnt have to, we've got him and Kimahri to deal with the inebriated."

Amelia chuckled at the duo. They were like The Three Stooges, 'cept there were only two. "So, how are the shrimp cocktails?"

"The more, the merrier." Thomas says. "It's always easier with some assertiveness."

 

Kimari gives a slight nod and adds, "Dryhgc, Cdyn. Ed'c kuut du ryja y ymmo uhla eh y frema." [Thanks, Star. it's good to have a ally once in a while.]

Star smiled at Victoria.

"It was no problem, really. He needed to leave anyway. So do you have any kids of your own, Victoria?" star asked, looking at Kora as she sipped her pepsi happily.

"Til I act civil... what a hypocrite I was trying to mind my own for awhile, but no one would leave me alone... and who the fuck is she calling kid", Zack said said to himself as he made his way to his room.

"Got a little one" Vicky says, reaching into her pocket to pull out a surprisingly new picture. "Infact, the only reason i am here is that her auntie and uncle are taking her clothes shopping"

 

The picture is of a little girl, huddling next to Victoria as she holds her tight with a single arm. Vicky's other arm is occupied with the rungs of a helicopter ladder, holding as tight as the picture can convey. The girl's eyes are tear stricken, and her lower half is obscured by the dark yellow sundress the girl is wearing.

 

Curiously, Victoria looks angry.

 

"Her name is Gracia. This here is the day i rescued her."

 "Good. Not bad for someone who learned how to make them from WORKING AT A GEEK HELP DESK!" Casino said, emphasizing the last part in hopes the bartender heard.

 

"We've had better." Her sister said simply.She extends her hand for Amelia to shake, "Royale Rojanoir"

Her sister follows suit with her hand "Casino Rojanoir."

"Pleasure to meet you." They said simultaneously.

Thomas realizes the truth of the photo. "My god..."

 

Kimari couldn't do anything but hang his head in grief.

"She had been living on the streets for about two years before i found her" Victoria says, letting go of the photo. Unlike the picture, Victoria is calm and collected. 

 

"When i found her, she was hiding in a vent from this really large crowd of dudes. Called my squad in and it degenerated into an open conflict with the Cornerians." Victoria withdraws another photo, putting aside the next one. Owning a pair of bright blue eyes, the little girl is absolutely dwarfed by her mother, the larger Victoria holding her with one arm as she stares, frightened but curious, at the photographer.

 

"They didn't touch her, if thats what you are panicking about. And she says that she was only hit a couple times before she learned how to get away." Victoria says, a flash of something in her eyes. "Didn't stop me from painting them with bruises."
