cityship: (Meanwhile...)

Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. (Pt. 5: Chances)

The plan was...well, it wasn't simple, but it sort of was.

While the CLF attacked multiple Clone Processing centers to distract the government, the group with the CLF would target one particular one in the region that'd once been New Jersey. The group with the government would offer their services in putting down their own people.

In the center, they'd split up into several groups. One would fight a fake fight, create a massive diversion, and blow up the room where the samples their DNA were being kept in the process. Another group would secure a teleporter pad. That team would teleport out other teams to steal a ship, steal some med tech to teleport to said ship, and steal a medical database. Another team would go to the main command center and hack into the government mainframe to down the sensornet around the planet so they could escape. And Nightwing himself would accompany the clones to upload the harvested memories to the Mother Brains, left unguarded because of the diversionary fighting, and make sure that was all they did.

Meanwhile, there'd be a standing order for all teams to avoid killing other crewmates, and avoid killing guards unless absolutely necessary.

It was a complicated plan. If a single part fouled up, they might find themselves dead, trapped, or worse. But if it worked, it'd work pretty spectacularly and leave them with medtech, a medical database, the clones helped, and possibly a grateful Council depending on how the fight went, because of the ones seemingly aiding the government.

In some worlds, things that were a million-to-one-chance (exactly a million-to-one) by their nature had to work. Let's hope this world is one of them, eh, mission crew?

"It's paradise. Sunsets and cliff-diving, and all the pineapple you can eat. Pretty little wahinis in g-string bikinis. And you haven't lived until you've had loco moco for breakfast at least once."

That was enough. The wound was still open, raw, but the bleeding had slowed to a trickle.

Howard lets out a low breath. "I have no idea what a loco moco is." He bets it's good.

He finishes cleaning up the bandaging job. "You're okay. But I'm going to call you an idiot if you go out there and lose another body part. You've bled all over the place enough already."

"Don't plan on it."

He sat up, huffing and trying to catch his breath. He was horribly pale.

"Do plan on getting back in there, though."

In a minute.

Howard rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "Just don't punch anyone with that stump, man. It'll hurt you more than them."

He glances down at his own outfit, the white coat he got from the hospital caper absolutely drenched in Kon's blood. He pulls it off and crumples it into a wad, so no one assumes he's seriously injured at a first glance. "And you owe me a new set of clothes once we get back on Stacy."

Kon clearly had a close call there; Howard would be able to tell that not just by the color of Kon's skin, but the look on his face. So maybe Kon's got a will of steel to get back up there and go fight as soon as he catches his breath and some extra white blood cells.

Or maybe he's just an idiot who doesn't value his life.

Howard, being the warm and fuzzy type, puts his money on the latter.

Maybe it was a little bit of both.

"Thanks. Again."

This time, it was a little more important, what Howard had done.
