"Because she is having Bassarov's baby." Helene says quietly. "And don't tell me what to do. Regardless of what you think of her, she is my friend and having my friends baby and my son's sibling. I owe it to Bassarov to keep Zero and this baby alive."
"I don't know why Red Infinity wants her but they do. Badly. Maybe because if Zero was dead, the rebels would die away as well..."
"So, point blank Zinn, do you think you can help us or are you going to be bothersome?"

((Zinn could probably see it, due to her powers.))
Zinn glares.
"I'm an anarchist. Take that as you will. Rebellion isn't hereditary, so going after Zero Americanski or Bassarov's baby seems like a waste. Still, who am I to judge Red Infinity's strategy? I suppose they have some sort of rediculous reasoning."
Zinn sees something strange in the corner of her eye, and zooms in.
"Odd... That volcano shouldn't be active."

"Gee, you sure are the sharpest tool in the shed." Helene says sarcasticly. "And its not about hereditary matters, its symbolic. Kill the leader, kill his woman, kill his children and kill everyone associated. Send out a message that this is what happens and no one is safe."
"Now, like I was saying, we should leave."

Zinn shrugs.
"Anyone have a boat? Mine is irreparably duffed."
Zinn rolls her eyes.
"How many people really knew about Zero Americanski, and since when was she 'his woman'? Bassarov had lots of women. Why would she be more important than any of the others? Hell, there's evidence that some of the other women had his children. There are dozens of Bassarov juniors running around. He was quite prolific."

(As Helene since I am too lazy to switch at the second) "Teleporting is quicker, which is what we will be doing." Helene replies.
"Acctually, and you might find this funny, but Bassarov only has three surviving children. Mine, a boy named Valo and the one Zero is carrying. And why the hell are you asking me all these questions? Do I look like I know what the fuck Red Infinity thinks?" By now, Helene is very frustrated with Zinn. Gods, why did she have to meet this woman now?
"You are frustrating."

"I wasn't aware that anyone here was capable of teleporting. It would be the quickest escape."
Zinn glares, then tics nervously.
"The questions were rhetorical. The fact that you have taken them so seriously is suspicious. Perhaps you do know what Red Infinity would do!" she charges.

Helene glares at Zinn, hard. "Do me a favor and shut up before I teleport you as close to the volcano as possible." Of course, she wouldn't do something like that to a fellow rebel. Maybe hold them down in front of the flowing lava but not that.
"Where should I teleport us?" That question wasn't meant for Zinn.

"Most of us can teleport." I say. I am somewhat uncomfortable with the concept of motherhood, so I don't say anything about the baby. "Red Infinity wants me dead because I saved Valodya from death, interrogation and many other things more times than I could count, and also because Kolov wants me dead." I explain.
"Well we discussed the Sahara... I still say we could consider a polar region."

Helene flinches slightly when the volcano lets out a big boom. "Um... I vote Sahara first. It would be easier to grow things and hide out."
"Oh, and I may have figured out a way to progress your pregnancy..." Strange time to bring that up but it didn't occur to her till now.

"Oh? What's that?" I ask.

"Well... its rare but the Goddess might do it. If not, there might be other, harder ways, I can think of." Helene says slowly.
"Akka, the Goddess of Motherhood. I have heard stories of her doing it but they are supposed to be myths."

"I thought all of the Gods worked for Red Infinity. Are you sure that she'd be willing to help? I ask suspiciously.

"She helped rebuild the Feminist House." Helene says simply. "If you want, I'll ask her myself. Far away from you and see if she'll try to kill me."

"Big fucking deal. I've rescued Bassarov before too. Hell, I think basically every rebel has gone down that road at least once," Zinn states.
"And at least half probably slept with him, no offense meant to the deceased."
Zinn tics again.
"Almost everything thats only a myth, and has to do with Finnish or Russian mythology seems to turn out to be true, at least in the sense of capability."
Zinn bites her lip.
"I can't teleport, but I'll make a list for what I'll need to grow the proper amounts of nutrients, and what have you."
