Assembly [Both Schools]

By Sunday morning the translation system was back online. Signs were readable to everyone and each screen ordered students to the Battle Arena for 12 noon. Prefects were sent out to make sure no one leaves the campus until that time and then gathered up everyone to take to the battle arena.

Once everyone was seated, the prefects taking up the first two rows, the staff appeared. All of them looked grim; even Recette who's usually cheery face was gone, Dolorosa had an expression usually worn by Santana. As they came to stand in a row in front of the students, it was Dunleavy that stepped forward.

"As I am sure you are all aware, yesterday there was an attack on the Exaclan system and the city of Rakuen itself. I first would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the amount of time it took to get the system working again. Luckily there was no permanent damage."

That was the easy bit, Lee blinked, they hadn't had any sleep at all, working until the early hours to help repair the system. Considering the six of them did not share a common language, it had been a difficult process. The next bit was harder; she hated punishing people. She always felt like she had no right to. But she did, she had taken on that right and responsibility when she became mayor and this was a serious attack.

Perhaps they had been too soft with them, experimentation and trying to cheat was one thing. But this was an entirely different category.

"We have, of course discovered the perpetrators of this crime." She nodded, sending Santana and Nanami to collect Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia from the stands. They were both prefects which was disappointing. Lee would have hoped they would know better.

"Lelouch vi Britannia and Suzaku Kururugi were both found to be the ones that began the attack." Though she had a feeling she knew which one had had the idea. The other didn't seem intelligent enough.

At least they were responsible for each others wrong doings, and so Lee didn't have to punish an innocent.

"You have both been found guilty of attacking the city of Rakuen." She paused, because giving the accused a chance to speak was considered civilised in most worlds and cultures.

Alex let her, wrapping his arms around her and petting her hair. He wanted to vow with someone he didn't trust just to avoid being a prefect, but to leave Becca to be someone else's weapon? He couldn't do that to her. How could he?

"I-it's okay Becca. I-I'll be there t-to protect you the wh-whole time." He holds her closer to him.

She clung tighter to him, shuddering and feeling sick. "I...I'm supposed to protect you..." But she definitely didn't feel like that was possible. "I promise to protect you," she murmured, getting the vow out of the way quickly.

"And of course you will. I wouldn't have it any other way." Alex held onto her, missing his powers again. Becca's pain seemed to be good at making him miss them. "I-I'm sure you'll have no problem. A-and I'm sure Sora'd f-fight you. Sh-she'd be c-careful. I-it'll be okay. You c-can wait so you o-only haveta do it o-once." He just rest his cheek against her's, holding her close.

She snuggled into him tightly, letting out a deep sigh. "I'll...talk to her. I want someone who'll give you back even if I lose you," she murmured softly. She was trembling in his arms, but his nearness was giving her strength.

Alex kept holding her as if he might loose her if he lets her go. "Dave p-probably will, if Sora's p-player wouldn't. D-Dave is a g-great person. I c-can ask him i-if you want me to." He nuzzled his cheek against hers, enjoying the scent of her hair. I-it'll be okay.

She trembled against him, holding tight. "Yeah, I think we'll talk to Dave," she murmured softly. "I'll...grab Shion, too," she murmured, figuring that was the best plan. As long as she had Alex and Shion, everything else would work out.

Alex kept holding her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "It will be okay. I p-promise." His stomach turned a bit with nervousness, but he kissed Becca's forehead. She needed it, and it was stupid to let his anxiety get in the way of comforting someone so important to him.

She closed her eyes and just took some time to rest against him, then finally pulled away slightly and took his hand in hers. "Let's go, then," she murmured softly, trying to fight down the sick feeling.
afraid_of_my_shadow: (Relaxed smile)

Alex lets her take it, smiling reassuringly at her. "O-okay. T-to Dan or Shion f-first?"
pencilpremonition: (Concerned)

[personal profile] pencilpremonition 2012-08-20 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Let's head for Dave, I'm sure Shion can guess I'll be looking for him."

Alex nods, starting to look around for him.
