[Mushverse: For Enter, Dillon, and Tenaya. possibly Escape]

[brilliantshadowpuppets]

I have to keep my cool, you know? Have to stay calm for Dillon's sake. He's been through enough with his sister already, this recent stress of not being able to find her is just not fair at all.

...of course I'm worried about Tenaya too! She's like a sister to me! It's just... well, she's the one missing, so she doesn't exactly need my moral support right now. But Dillon does, and I'm his partner, and I've got to be strong for him!

And if that means going out and getting him a bagel and coffee for breakfast, well, I'm a big boy now, I can wander the streets of a foreign country by myself. Besides, I'm only going to the corner bakery down the street from the apartment our team has been renting.

So maybe I also picked up some fruit from a stand on the way, and maybe I got baked goods and coffee for the whole team instead of just Dillon. No big deal, I can totally carry all this by myself.

Oh, there goes an apple, damn.

Tenaya watched with every outward sign of satisfaction as her brother fell, as Messiah wormed its way inside him.

He wavered into view in her other senses, now. Stronger than Enter or even her precious Escape, now with an arm around her. Tenaya tilted her head slightly, resting her temple against Escape's. She wouldn't be able to read Dillon's mind or anything, but she suspected that even if they were out of view of each other she'd be able to point at exactly where he was.

(Fallen to Messiah, just like her. Ziggy was crying, despondent, surrounded by them all and completely alone.)

"You have your life, little Green Ranger," Tenaya said idly. "Scurry away."

Escape laughs loudly at the lovely kiss her brother's new toy bestows upon the weak little Green one. It's delightful, and wonderfully wicked. Papa will be so pleased.

Tenaya rests her head against Escape's, and the Avatar delights in the contact, turning her head to press a brief kiss to her pet's cheek.

She looks at her brother after, since this has mainly been his show, he should be the one to bring it to a close.

"Shall we move on, niichan?"

Enter smirked when Dillon shrugged out of the cables so easily. Well done. He's almost impressed by his sister's programming prowess, but then again, he did make modifications.

He raises an eyebrow in subtle surprise at the dark taunt complete with Judas' kiss that he bestows upon his former bait.

"Trés bien!" He's less than enthused about leaving the child alive, but then again, Messiah does appreciate human suffering, and that broken mess of a human child is nothing if not human. And suffering. "Magnifique."

He holds a hand out towards the boy, fingers splayed, and waits for Dillon to return to his side, which he does nearly obediently.

Of course Enter does not expect perfection. He still has some shred of humanity in him.

"Now." He spreads both arms. "Shall we take our leave?"

He places a hand on Dillon's shoulder- fingers spread, nails digging into the leather of his coat slightly- to guide him in his first, but no doubt hardly his last teleportation.

"Au revoir, Ranger Operator Series Green."
