“I’m not a number. I have a name. I’m KC Takeshi and I’d appreciate it if you used that.” The teen replied, furrowing her brow with irritation at being called by her experiment number. She hardly remembered her time in these labs after her escape with Snake, but the more time she spent here the more memories returned.

Her eyes widened slightly hearing the clear threat in Eveleen’s words. “No! I said leave them alone! I’m back in this dumb cell in these dumb labs where you wanted me. You do anything to them, I’ll just make things even more difficult! You’ll learn I’ve got a talent for that! But if you just... leave them out of all this, I’ll cooperate. I’ll do as I’m told like when I was a scared lil kid.”

She saw how some of the castle staff looked at her with caution or concern. Pity in some eyes. She knew they didn’t hate her, they were far too kind of people to completely turn their backs on her, and the same could be said for her. KC figured they just.... feared what was unknown of her abilities. SHE even feared these new parts of herself. But at the moment, her biggest concern was her son.

She felt a bit of relief from his words, glancing up at him with a tired smile before looking back down at their hands. He was such a sweet and brilliant boy. How did I become so lucky to have him in my life? She’d ask herself so often. When he changed the topic and voiced his concerns of the work behind this discovery, it was like a switch turned on and all her own self doubt and fear were immediately tossed to the side to focus on him. KC pulled her hands from his to reach out and hold his face gently, tilting his head up. She could read the deeper concerns in his words and she shook her head.

“My parents had banned alchemy not long after I was born... We all now know why.” A man they once trusted took his experimenting too far and now the effects of that alchemy had awoken in her. “But you know what?... It wasn’t alchemy they feared. It was Skaworks.” She explained. “A sword is sharp and dangerous, but it can be used to defend and protect just as much as it can be used to destroy. It all depends on the user’s intentions. One does not need to kill to use a sword properly...”

Ichiro tensed up as he felt hands reach for his, but giving her a quick glance and realizing what she was doing, he let her take his hand into hers while he fixed his stare on the brick wall beside him. ‘Ground yourself.’ His uncle’s voice echoed in his head. ‘Don’t let your thoughts eat you up or control you.’

Find something to see: the little details of the brick around him. Find something to hear: Ella’s soft voice. Find something to feel: her small hands examining his to look for any damage. Find something to smell: the... garbage that was in the alley he chose. Gross. Find something to-

The moment he felt her hands loosen around his own, he tugged it away and folded his arms around himself. He appeared a bit more calm, but he knew he could and would snap at any little thing if he was given the chance. “Cause I wanted to. That good enough answer for ya?...” He muttered and turned his back on her as began chewing on his fingertips, a nervous tick he often did to keep himself calm in social situations. Most people just assumed he was biting his nails and wouldn't actually comment on the action. Find something to taste... that was the final step he took to ground himself. More often than not, food was not readily available for him to taste while he was in these situations, so he had to make do. He chewed his fingers, tasting the salt in his skin and something metallic. Made sense since most of his days involved building robots... but then he tasted something else.

He licked his lips to clean the red liquid away, muttering something under his breath as he balled his hands into fists and shoved them into his pockets before Ella could see. He took a long deep breath before turning around once again to finally look at her and then down to the ground as he tried to recall exactly what happened. WHY had he done what he did?

“...saw that creep gettin’ too close and how stupidly awkward and uncomfortable you looked...No one else was doin’ anything, including you. One second I’m across the street... next I’m standing over the dude passed out with a broken nose...I think I had blacked out for a second actually. I don’t know...” He explained and shook his head. The whole thing was a bit of a blur but he knew he felt... rage, and this sudden weird possessiveness when he saw that incredibly uncomfortable smile on Ella’s face and that disgusting grin on the other guy’s. He wasn’t... saving her or anything. No. He just hated those kinda people, but seeing Ella in that situation, someone he knew, someone he was around a lot, it just... turned a switch on or something and he was about ready to kill someone on the spot.

“Struggling to hold myself back from killin’ this piece of shit.” He answered 100% honest for once, balling his hands into fists and ignoring the pain from smashing his knuckles into this other guy’s face.

“Let’s go before I commit murder in broad daylight.” He muttered, grabbing Ella by the arm and leading her away from the man who was still laying on the ground. It was bad enough the punch and dramatic fall of his victim got the attention of others around them. He needed to reel himself back before he got a lecture from some know it all goody-two-shoes nobody trying to preach to him. That would only make things worse…

Ichiro already nearly forgot he was still holding onto Ella’s arm, muttering away under his breath angrily, frustration and disgust evident in his tone until he turned a corner into an alley way and let go of her. He let out a heavy sigh and dragged his hands over his face in frustration. He’d find that guy later, if he could. People shouldn’t argue with his desire to dispose of creeps like that…

Does she thank him for the violent rescue or scold him for making a scene? Ella is unsure as she’s dragged away from the commotion, looking back over her shoulder as a crowd chatters among themselves of what has occurred. She peeks back over to Ichiro, silent along his leading as she attempts to keep up with him. She never assumed he would react so brashly - why he did so is what she wants to know. That question would be for later, once he had cooled off of course.  When they end up in an alley, she takes the opportunity to rub her temples, an attempt to keep her own frustration from surfacing. Now to attend to her fuming companion - he had punched the flirtatious man rather hard. Moving in front of him, she carefully and gently brings the hand he used down to examine it. “Let me take a look, okay?” Her voice is soft, laced with concern. She’s careful as much as she can be, looking for any signs of bruising or redness. “…That was really…” What does she say? Excessive? Reckless? ….Amazing? “..Something.” Ella settles, a small smile  and tint of red on her cheeks before she releases his hand. Thankfully, she won’t be needing to use her magic to heal anything.  “Want to to tell me why you did all that or should I lecture you on nearly breaking your hand?”

“Nonsense! I wanted to.” KC replied with her usual cheerful smile. “I just learned how to make this dish, and I figured it’d be nice to have something warm and homecooked rather than going out or eating box mac’n’cheese. Come on. Come sit and tell me what you think of it!”

“You didn’t have to do that…”

“ Where have I been? Uh… See… I can explain… “

@empowcred

“If you don’t have a good explanation on hand, I can wait till later, but that don’t mean I’ll believe it.” KC replied with her hands on her hips and shaking her head before reaching out and pulling Maggie into a hug. “I’m just glad you’re here now. I was worried!”

(for ito) How did you get into robotic engineering and what is it like balancing being work as a professor and being a guardian to your nephew?

@mxndanemagic || Ask Ito Ishioka Anything!

“Ah, well my family has always been interested in science and technology, in all sorts of fields.” He began to explain and tapped his chin. “My father was a mechanic that worked on old cars for money, and even built his own car from the ground up! I guess I got inspiration from him... And all those comics I read as a kid.” He added with a smile.

“My brother and I both got into robotics during highschool, but he actually dropped out... Er, after Ichiro was born. I don’t believe that’s the answer to your question though!” He let out a short nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck and clearing his throat before moving on.

“I went on to major in robotics in college. SFIT actually. I was just on the rise with all my inventions, working non-stop on different projects, taking part in many interviews and doing public speaking... All that was put on hold when my brother died. He’d been sick...” And what had he been doing? Playing celebrity instead of being there for his own brother. Ito shook his head and kept his smile stuck to his face.

“Ichiro was left in my care. Because of that, I decided to settle down and applied for a job as a professor where I studied. Aside from the usual arguments between children and adults, we’re actually very close. I’m very proud of that boy and... I know he can be difficult at times, but I like to think I have things under control pretty well.” He wouldn’t admit it, but he was definitely nervous for the teen years. After all, he remembered what he and his brother were like in their teens, plus Ichiro’s anger issues... That would be interesting.
