10 September 2210, Japan

Ramaela wakes up from the operation in her leg for the bullet. She looks around her, still dizzy for the morphine, but she was able to see all her friends around with a face in relief. She indeed survived.
Kat is the first to cheer. "Woohoo! Let's celebrate! She's back with us!"
Nick looks the scene a bit apart, with a little smile with her arms crossed in rest. Matt rushes at her bed, looking the happiest. "Finally you're awake! We were so worried! "
Ramaela smiles at him. "Ah, won't be a bullet to put me in three meters underground!"
And everyone chuckles, is very nice to see that her good mood is still present, means she's already fine.

In the evening, Nikole back in her room after a short call, and after she sitted next to her old friend, the two eventually begin in having a pleased chat about the life in the 70'and a bit further.

"Do you remember this...? And do you remember that...? Ohh! Is was so great!"

Then a new name comes in.

"Did I ever let you met my Helper, Selene?"

Nikole frowns. "...No, acutally I never thought that you would have a helper, but I may understand."

Ramaela makes a little smile. "She's just like a daughter to me. I am so glad to have her next to me. She's very special too, I hope you may meet her soon, she's almost like me when I was young..." And sighs, happily, remembering the time passes with her.
Carole makes a rightful question after a minute of silence. "And now where she is?"

"At first she backs in Greece, but she's allowed to remain at my home, in Panarea. She just loves to stay there, and I am more than happy, since she never messed it up."
And chuckles.

1 September 2210, Ramaela's Home, Panarea Island

A young woman walks around the streets of the little town white and blue, just like her. She did some shopping for filling the home with food and other goods, in the patient waiting to see her Master back.
Is already midday, the way of the comeback at the candid maison of Ramaela is peaceful, as ever.
But today may be a different one.
She notices some unknown cars around and the door is half open. Afraid, the lady looks at the scene unknown what do do, Ramaela did nothing at all, what they need?
She takes some courage, rushes at the door and slammed apart the door, being immediately spotted with a gun by a light blonde hairy guy, and slowly walks toward her. The white-haired woman tries to speak. "W-Who you all are!? What do you need here? R-Ramaela is not here!"
Hal lows the gun and stares at her a moment, then after a while he calls his boss. "Sterling!..."
Not caring who's calling, she makes a step backward from the entrance and squeaks.
"I-I swear I will call the Police!"

"No, no, that won't be necessary! Uhh, yes, this is... there's been a bit of an incident." Said Sterling, who rushed in front of her to stop her.
"What..? What that means? T-Talk, please!" Said with a worried expression now.
He first looks behind to Hal. "keep a look out outside..."

And Hal so leaves after a nod.
The man back then to speak to her. "...De Rosa has been, how do I put this... of inter interest to very, very powerful people-Not that we're those people, heh, we're sort of against them. So we, uhh... visited..."
At this news, she feels like mortified. "Ohh, not again!
She promised me that she would've been safe!"

"Do you mind me asking where you saw her last?"

She puts a hand on her forehead and leaves off a bit a white tuft off accompanied with a desperate sigh.
"I-Is since I lefted her in Germany that I don't see her, around two/three months, expect in some rare calls..."
She mutters. "First Madison, and now?"
"Did those call seem different in any way? Did she repeat any odd phrases, or anything of the like?"
She looks him in a questioning manner, then answer.
"No, still happy, I know when something went wrong on her...however once she said that she had to remain for an uncertain time in a place, Angelus, to be protected. Luckily I knew that she was even in Australia! But she promised me that she'd back here safe and sound. I thought those men stopped to chase her, looks like we were both so wrong!"
He makes a slightly nod "...Can you give me a minute?" Before she may answer, he already walks out of the room for a phone call.

"Oh what a Passion¹!"
She whimpers a bit while walking in the kitchen to put her shopping bags in and sits on a chair there.
Wasn't a long call, and after two minutes he's walking in with a more serious expression. "Is confirmed. De Rosa left for the airport, but, she never got on the plane. That's about what we know now."

"Oh no..."

"Do you have another place where you can stay safe? I'm not sure how safe you are after speaking on the phone with her."

"Uhm...does this island looks enough safe?"

"That depends on what happened to De Rosa, more importantly, if she was captured, who did it, and why.
If it were a government that took, and there's a hearty chance that it was, than no, it doesn't. Unless you never left your house or used the phone, which I don't see working out to well."

"T-Thanks, sir...
Please, let me know more of the situation!"
She said with a hopefully look.
But he remains thoughtful a moment... "Well, I think it would benefit the both of us if you came with us."

This was enough for her.
"What? How...How much I can trust you?"

"Well, your not shot. That has to mean something, right?"

She frowns. "Ramaela doesn't even have a gun, she doesn't like them... What assure me that you're not the same men who kidnapped her?"

Sterling grins in amusement. "If we took her, I would not ask that come with us. Best case scenario; you wouldn't have a say in the matter.
Worst case scenario; you wouldn't do anything, ever."

At that answer, she makes a dry gulp, understanding his speech. "O-Ok...I think I can trust you guys..."

"Alright, you can take five minutes to take what you need, and then we'll take you to an aircraft, and we'll talk more from there."

"Got it!"
She disappears to then comes back in time.

In the aircraft, she looks at the departure in a shade of sadness, but then she smiles and looks at Sterling and Hal.
"Anyway my name is Selene, pleased to meet you."

11 September 2210, Japan

Sterling walks in with a special guest with.
"Nikole? Ramaela? Selene is here."

At her name, Ramaela almost jumps out the bed and looks her helper with eyes fullfilled of joy.
"Selenella! Mia cara!"²

Nick smiles more, also this mini mission was complete, The Reunion.
