"What? What are you talking about?"
“There's no time to explain. We have to get you and your mother out of here now.” |

Rude blocked the first couple of blows by bringing his arms together in front of his face, taking the shot to the chin after Tifa jumped and he fell into the ground at the side sweep. His right hand reached out to grab the arm that grabbed his waist, but it was too late, and he was thrown into the ground not once, but twice before she was finally done. Pain shot all across his body, but it didn't show on his emotionless face as his body twitched, and slowly move to get up while Tifa was busy with Reno. |

"Make the time."Aerith gradually became more awake as time went on and could see that Ayen was clearly worried about something. If it were really as urgent as he was claiming it to be then he would find a way to summarize what needed to be said because Aerith didn't make the habit of just leaving her home without explanation, especially not in the middle of the night.

"Get off the soapbox, lady!"Tifa came at them fast, faster than Reno anticipated as Rude was taken down to the ground and he was next. Not wanting to end up cripple against the ground Reno rolled out of the way of the in-coming charging, missing the punch only by a few inches as he ran back over to his partner meanwhile keeping his eyes on Tifa. "Get up, Rude!"

Cloud waited for only minutes more before he decided to go into the home. The volume of noise had increased immensely over the past few minutes and he suspected Tifa was near her limits. Though he had no doubt that she could keep them blocked off, he wanted to get back to her quickly. Making sure his sword was secure, he moved forward and jumped to grab onto the ledge directly underneath the window that the blonde male had been at. He pulled himself up and pushed into the room. Immediately, he heard hushed voices from another room. Aerith...
It was odd to see her again in the church. He just hadn't expected the time to be reversed so much. Hadn't he atoned for his sins when he helped save those children and Aerith forgave him? He steeled himself and moved forward, not taking much detail into account as he continued to move past the doorway and forward to the room with the voices. His feet were soft on the floor and he slowed then stopped right outside the room. He would hate to walk in and her be indecent. Quickly he spoke, getting to the point of the matter.
"We need to move. Now. She's not going to hold up much longer out there. If you need anything to be explained, we can do it on the way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The damage she had done was mainly on Rude as she looked on. Reno had dodged her punch somehow. He was a bit of a monkey so it made sense in a way. Her serious face broke into laughter at the thought. Her chuckles made her stomach hurt but she couldn't help it. The very image was just too much. She calmed down a bit and sat on her rear, her bad arm and shoulder cradled in her lap and against her body.
"You both fight as well as you have always fought. I haven't been let down. ...I must reinterate that you will not get past me to get to her. You still haven't told me why you want her..." Tifa commented softly. After a few deep breaths, she looked up towards the plate above her and said, "It's because of her gift...isn't it...?"

"Make the time."
Ayen became frustrated with Aerith, thinking that what he said earlier was all the explanation needed, but no. Apparently that wasn't good enough for her. Ayen opened his mouth to speak again, but his voice was sounded out by the voice of Cloud behind him.
"We need to move. Now. She's not going to hold up much longer out there. If you need anything to be explained, we can do it on the way."
“What he said – hey!”
Ayen spun around to look at Cloud.
“How'd you get in here? You can't just go around barging into peoples' homes, that's how you get shot.” |

Rude stood up, far from one-hundred percent but still with enough strength to hold his own against Tifa while Reno made a run for it to find the others. "I'll hold her off giving you a chance to search for the girl," whispered Rude. Rude walked forward and stopped to leave himself with enough distance to react accordingly to another move by Tifa if she tried anything else. "You seem to know who we are. Have we met before?" |

Aerith looked over to Cloud, recognizing him as the man from earlier in the church who helped them escape by holding off Reno. She didn't understand why the man was going through all this trouble for her, they had never even exchanged one word between each other, but for one reason or another, he was determined to protect her like Ayen was. "All right, let's go. But my mother should be fine here. It's me they want." |

"How do you know that?"
This woman knew way too much for her own good, and theirs. Elimination needed to be quick, but the fact the other man was gone and probably closer to Aerith than they were right now needed to be addressed. He didn't like the idea of leaving Rude alone here, but he knew that the man could take care of himself, and their mission was more important. With a reluctant nod, Reno agreed to Rude's plan and laid in wait for Tifa to be distracted long enough by Rude to make a run for it. Ironic that the Turks were now stealing a page out of the enemy's own playbook.

As the two Turks asked questions, Tifa fell quiet and took deep breaths. From her pocket she grabbed a bottle. With shaky hands she popped the top off and poured back the miracle drink. With a gasping breath, she threw the ether bottle off to the side, instantly feeling her magic return to her beaten and torn body. Carefully, she began to cure her body slowly. As she did, she remained sitting on the dirt ground. "You could say...I've known her for quite a while." She turned amused eyes towards the two and pushed herself up off the ground, again using her good arm to do so. "I have known the two of you as well for some time. It's just a long time coming, is all." Tifa winked at the two gentleman as she turned to ensure that thin pink ribbon still was on her arm.

Cloud nodded at Aerith's statement and nudged Ayen to grab his attention, tilting head to come out towards the hallway. Once the other blonde had joined him, he didn't start talking immediately. He just couldn't figure out how to word what he wanted to say. Finally he took a small breath and muttered, "Thank you for protecting her so far. But you can't do it by yourself. You'll need companions."

"All right, let's go. But my mother should be fine here. It's me they want."
“Are you sure? I mean they could try to use her to get to you.”
Ayen was nudged by Cloud and looked over to him as he signaled to meet him out in the hall. Ayen did so and folded his arms as he waited for him to speak.
“Was there something you needed to discuss?”
"Thank you for protecting her so far. But you can't do it by yourself. You'll need companions."
“I'm not disputing that. We need to get in touch with your friend.” |
