 Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early"I feel slightly light headed.....But once we get to the train hopefully I can rest up a bit. That's usually all it takes and I'm fine after a good sleep....Don't worry...." Reno cocked an eyebrow at Cloud, hoping the man was telling the truth this time. He didn’t want him to drop over or anything if it was that serious, but he took Cloud’s word for it and just shrugged some. “Okay, if you say so.” He said pocketing his hands and looking around, trying to get his body used to the cold air. “Once we get to the trains you can sleep…it should give you a few hours of rest before daybreak…just enough energy to make it to the glacier.” Reno said wondering what he would do in the silence of the train car. Probably just stare around, he couldn’t afford to be off guard, you never knew who or what was lurking around any areas anymore. It was just a way to keep them safe… "Yeah...It did get cold quicker then last year....Maybe the weather knows too....." "This way is the quickest...And don't call me captain....If any one should be called that....It's you. Come on....We're wasting time...." Reno followed Cloud, whichever way he went since he knew the way, and just rolled his eyes. So Reno called him captain, it was a joke, no need to get all sensitive over it. “Okay then, no captain...lets just stick with Cloud. No special nick names.” Reno said following quickly. He wondered what would be going on back at Headquarters…would PSICOM have ran to Rufus ShinRa yet? Of course they would have, and what would Mr. ShinRa be yelling right now? Oh Reno knew, ‘PAY DOCKS PAY DOCKS PAYYYYY DOCKSSSS!’ It made Reno chuckle, perhaps all this rebel work Reno was doing would make the Presidents head finally explode from all his nonsense. From this to the practical jokes, Reno was just a trouble maker and he didn’t care if he was or not. "Hope you don't mind. I swiped it from your helicopter...." Reno blinked for a second. “Oh. Yeah, its cool. Good thinking.” He shrugged continuing to follow Cloud along the road towards the train station…next stop…the glaciers, where Cloud would…escape from the worries of PSICOM and any other tattle tails around here who would love to watch a L’Cie fall under the fire of their own SOLDIERS…or even PSICOM…no matter how irritating they were. |

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early Walking quietly was probably the best option right now. Making random conversation with a fugitive…a L’Cie…CLOUD STRIFE, was probably not a good idea for Reno right now. Best leave things the way they are. So quietly walking Reno stared around as he had his hands in his jacket pockets, following behind Cloud a few feet or so making sure not to get too close and bother the guy, besides, it was weird enough these two were fleeing PSICOM right now. These two, an unlikely pair to work together, especially since they both had a past with a lot of tension filled in it. But now was the time for Reno to make up for all that. Somehow, someway, Reno was going to earn this. "Can I ask you some thing....? Why'd you decided to realize that you were doing wrong in the past? And when...Did it have any thing to do with Zack? I heard you two talking about some kind of monsters once...." All was still quiet, Reno sat in the seat across the isle from Cloud and just folded his arms, trying not to talk or be anything of a nuisance. Although Cloud’s voice and question both left the Turk a little startled and puzzled. Reno adjusted his posture from sleepy and lazy to alert and slightly confused as to what to say, how to put his words into a sentence. While leaning forward, Reno scratched the back of his neck and head a bit. “Uh. Well…there were times I really thought about it, like when I was by myself. I felt bad, it was one of those…creeping guilt things I guess.” Reno shrugged a bit hoping for a better answer to come out of his mouth next time he spoke. “I…just realized that not everything ShinRa does is Justified. Seeing Zack around and alive made me realize it was time to apologize, to try and correct the things I’ve done and maybe try to start off fresh with you and other people.”His mind was then back tracked to that day Reno and Zack had chatted awhile. Talking about weapons shops, Aerith, and other things. But those monsters they had encountered were not from Gaia, in fact, Reno went back and did some research. He looked at anything he could find from any database he could access. All he learned was they were from a world called Cocoon, or even Gran Pulse. Enemy worlds, and the result of a failed L’Cie. One day that could be Cloud, and even Reno hoped that wouldn’t happen to the ex-SOLDIER. “I’m not quite sure what they were or how they got here…I’m still in the process of ‘research and development’ right now. But once I figure everything out I’ve gotta tell Zack, and you should know as well…” Reno decided it was Cloud’s business as well as Reno and Zack’s. After all it was his fate possibly. |

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early Silence between these two, wasn’t akward at all, in fact it was expected. Reno and Cloud weren’t exactly buddies so the silence was kind of relieving, except Reno just spilled why he had all of a sudden gone into ‘sorry’ mode. The silence kind of made him curious to what Cloud was thinking, was there any chance Reno would ever be forgiven? It was probably a long shot but there was a little hope, Cloud hadn’t murdered him yet so it was all good for now. Helping Cloud out of town was a relatively easy task, but the aftermath of it all…would Reno get his clean slate that he wanted? Again, a long shot. But it’s not like anyone could blame Cloud for holding a grudge, Reno would too. When Cloud removed his glove, Reno’s eyes instantly fell on the brand. It definitely looked foreign, but with the research he did recently to figure out some creatures wandering about Gaia…that mark looked so familiar. His eyes scanned it as the spark came out making him come back to reality and his senses. He was staring, and that probably irritated Cloud. “Things will never be the same.” Reno sighed looking straight ahead again and placing his arms behind his head while Cloud spoke of Reno being the good guy protecting the bad guy. It seemed in Cloud’s eyes the roles were reversed for once, and Reno had to give it to him…he probably was right due to the past events Reno helped cause…but this was totally making up for it right? “Well…you never know. Everything happens for a reason…although this may seem like a bad thing…perhaps once all is said and done, maybe it’s really a good thing. A good thing just being shadowed by a bad appearance,” Reno shrugged a bit closing his eyes and just listening to the wheels of the train slide against the rails. “I know I’m not exactly your favorite person in the world Cloud Strife…but do me a favor will ya?” Reno said opening one eye to glance at Cloud out of the corner of it. “Don’t give up. Don’t let this l’cie thing get to you…fight against the fal’cie…don’t let them take control anymore…” With that he closed his eye and sighed as he tried to relax all off this newfound stress away. It wasn’t too bad, he was really worried about what beatings he would get once he returned to ShinRa…there was always playing dumb though, that’d be Reno’s best plan if he wanted to keep his job.

Cloud Strife   
Nightmares become real...
Love remains the same....
But soon everything will disappear....
All because of me....
Cloud got immediately angry at what Reno said....As his eyes brows furrowed so close together after what Reno said about the being a good thing?!! He was steaming angry! It was a matter of time when Cloud snapped at the Turk! As he at once stood up and rushed over to Reno and grabbed the man in a choke hold! As he slammed Reno against the wall! "A good thing from this?!! Are you that crazy?!! What could possibly be good from any of this?! Just sit there and think what you can accomplish in that brain of yours? Another award for your good deeds?!! You're more selfish than I really thought you were!" It was so a matter of time before Cloud exploded on the Turk and this was the moment....He was so sick and tired of the Turks trying to fess up and regain trust from everyone! Cloud was not that blinded to not see what they really were! As he looked at Reno with burning red eyes of anger! He squeezed tighter and tighter! All the bad things that had happened and would happen would be because of SHRINA!! Nothing else! His face was burning hot as he heard what Reno said next....What did the man know about not giving up?! He did not know the first thing about Cloud! "You don't know any thing!! You sure as hell don't know me! You never did! All you've seen was my picture slapped on paper and called it file! You never tried to help me and Zack back then....So don't sit there and tell me what to do!!!" Cloud was right about one thing. The Turks were selfish.... "You're just so damned selfish! You all are! All you care about is your own personal image!! And when the next pay check is!" He then let go of Reno then as he realized he was way over board here.....But the thing was would Reno even remember this little talk when Cloud was killing everyone?! And would the red head ever wake for once not worrying about his own damned self?! Cloud walked away from Reno in a steamed manner as he slammed his fist in the wall....

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early So maybe…saying something was the wrong thing to do. Especially when Cloud wasn’t happy with Reno to begin with. No, definitely not a good idea, especially if Cloud just exploded and ran up and caught Reno by the throat, should’ve just shut up. How was Reno supposed to talk when he couldn’t breathe? He wasn’t, I guess that was the point. He just kept quiet, not wanting to even attempt to speak and risk well killing himself from suffocation. He just took it all in as Cloud yelled at him. What did Reno know about Cloud and this stuff? He had no idea. And he wasn’t going to act like he knew, because he didn’t. He was just going to keep his mouth shut until Cloud let him go. That is, if he had anything to say. Reno…selfish? Yes, he was at times, but this time…how dare Cloud call him selfish, it just fueled Reno’s building anger, and his expression only changed a fraction, his eyebrows furrowed as well as he was contained in a choke hold by this Ex-SOLDIER. Why did Reno ever bother taking off? Helping Cloud escape PSICOM was the worst thing he could’ve done…if he really was that selfish. Either way, Reno just listened to the rest of Cloud’s tantrum and felt his head start to get dizzy, a lack of oxygen started to make him feel like he was going to pass out. His eyes rolled a bit, was Cloud going to kill him by choking him to death or something? It sure felt like it as his lungs began to hurt worse and worse with each second passing that Reno couldn’t take a breath. But just before passing out, Cloud had let go of Reno and Reno coughed as he fell to one knee on the floor, trying to regain the lost air. He breathed in deeply for a few moments, one hand going to his neck before straightening out the collar of his jacket…not that it was neat to begin with. With deep breaths he stood up to his feet and just looked Cloud in the eyes, his expression was on the angry side and his tone was too, but he never raised his voice just so they wouldn’t have a repeat of practically killing Reno. “If I’m so selfish…then why did I help you escape PSICOM…out of good will perhaps? I’m I the monster you make me out to be, then go ahead, kill the selfish ShinRa beast.” He said making himself an open target as his breathing started to get back to normal and his ribs still hurt, but no, he wasn’t going to take all this crap from Cloud and roll with it. He was going to fire right back…just not as deadly. “If im so selfish and all I care about is my next pay check then answer me this Cloud Strife…why didn’t I just turn you in for a big fat bonus on that check I care about so much? Why am I risking…everything I’ve worked for to get you out of the clutches of the people who want to KILL you. Answer me that eh? And don’t you worry your little blond head…next stop…I’m heading back to Midgar…enjoy your trip.” He said with walking down the isle of seats into another train car to be alone, there was no way he was going to risk himself around Cloud anymore…next stop…he was so going back.

All this time he was not looking at Reno as Reno said his piece. Instead, he had placed his palm on the wall before him and looked down and just listened to what ever Reno had to say. Cloud was not in the best mood any way. So what ever Reno said wouldn't make it less difficult for him...But what the hell...right? At least Cloud kept his distance....And realized that he had tried to hurt some one. That was not in Cloud's nature to attack like he had with Reno. Why had he even done that? He knew what he could get from it too. And the bad thing about it...Reno was Turk! And the punishment for attacking a Turk could be a very bad..... When Reno was through talking and left...Cloud just groaned out in anger more! He really hated himself! Why was he acting like this? He then looked at his brand and just sighed....He remembered what Aerith said, that the brand makes you think and say things you really don't want to some times....He hated the next thing that came to his mind, but he had to. To apologize to a Turk for what he had said. He cringed at that thought. But he had to. He sighed extremely heavily after thinking about what and how he was going to apologize to Reno.... He just manned up and started to walk back to the cabin he saw Reno walk to when all of a sudden a grenade was thrown in to the same cabin Cloud was in and it was thrown in when Cloud didn't see it happen. And yes at that moment it went off! And exploded! Knocking Cloud clean off his feet ass he was thrown forward in to a wall! And knocked out completely by the explosion...There was a big hole in the cart now that Cloud was in as the long train continued to fly down the track...But not evenly on the track....Soon, some of the carts, were unhooked and flew off the track...Not to mention the fire alarms were going off that would annoy any one...As soon as the train stopped, PSICOM Troops entered a part of the train that was still very much intact.....Looking for Cloud....

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early Reno was angry…not angry enough to lay a hand on Cloud, which he knew he shouldn’t even try, Cloud was tough enough as it was, but being a L’Cie just made you even more powerful. So walking off was the best idea. How dare that punk call Reno selfish. How dare him! Reno was doing all he could to get this…this…fugitive away from the clasps of PSICOM, risking his job, his life, everything he ever wanted with his life…and for what? To be yelled at and hurt…oh yes, this was the end of the line for Cloud, at least the end of Reno’s assistance for him. As Reno stood in his own separate train car he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. This was a stupid idea. Taking Cloud away from Edge, away from PSICOM…it was silly. They wouldn’t get away with it for long and Reno would most likely be fired if Rufus found out he was sheltering Cloud away from these PSICOM bozos. Of course ShinRa wasn’t too fond of these troops marching into their ‘territory’ shooting anything that moved and taking control like they owned the place. So maybe Reno would get let off with a warning, besides he was Second in command of the Turks, and a great Turk at that…so being fired probably wasn’t a possibility. He just tried to calm himself down, thinking about Cissnei and their date, the fact that she had accepted his promise ring calmed Reno down fairly quickly. He sat down on one of the empty benches and closed his eyes, he was dead tired and maybe he could fit in a small cat nap before the next stop. Reno was half asleep when he heard a giant blast coming from the other part of the train. His eyes shot open and he sat up, feeling the train jerk off the tracks and come to a halt. Oh no. Reno shook his head and sighed, he had to see what was going on, as hard as it was to realize, he really did have a heart and helping Cloud…it just proved it. Reno got up and ran into the other cabin, his electro mag-rod out and ready to use if needed, he also had a gun on the inside of his jacket, a little thing he picked up after being informed by Zack that he probably needed something other than the mag-rod. He opened the door to the other cabin and walked in, waving his hand around trying to clear the smoke from his vision. As he saw Cloud knocked out he ran over and knelt to one knee trying to check Cloud’s vitals as PSICOM entered the train car. Reno shot up to his feet and pulled out the gun, placing his mag-rod back in his jacket and pulling Cloud into a storage compartment, somewhat like a closet, he closed the door and walked out, looking furious with PSICOM as he started waving his gun around and starting the complaining. “Are you people Crazy?!” He yelled as they all stopped at the red headed Turk…really he was a fiery red head at times like this. “You could’ve killed me! Just wait till President ShinRa hears about this…then your warm welcome will be taken away so fast…” He continued before one of the soldiers spoke up about Cloud, suspecting he was on this train. Reno just rolled his eyes and continued to lie his and Cloud’s way out of this one. “Cloud Strife? Really…you think he’d be on this train with a Turk? In case you haven’t noticed…he threatens our world…ShinRa has the Turks searching for him…or rather me searching for him…back at the station he attacked me and got away…I’m just heading to find him now.” His lie seemed too convincing…a Turk like him..teaming with Cloud? It just didn’t seem possible. “Now if you’ll kindly get OFF of my train and let it get back on course...We won’t have any problems here. Mr. ShinRa doesn’t have to know a thing about you almost killing his favorite Turk.” He said threateningly aiming his gun at the soldiers. The soldiers nodded a bit before one came up, saying if there was any sign of Cloud to report it immediately. “Yeah yeah, report it. I got it.” He said waving them off. The soldiers, unhappy and grumpily left the train, which wouldn’t start up but once the soldiers left the area, Cloud and Reno could continue on. Speaking of Cloud…Reno ran back to the storage unit and opened up the closet, pulling Cloud out and laying him on the ground. He seemed okay, just a bit shaken up and well…still knocked out. “Cloud…? Can you hear me?”Words: 902 Muse: Great! Notes: I need to make Reno caring...and hero-like lol |

How many more time before he would hear some one calling out for him like Reno just had? Cloud opened his then and looked at Reno...He was silent for a moment but then hr straightened up and sat up right as he rubbed his head... "I'm fine..." He said as he looked at Reno in the eyes. Maybe now that he realized it, he needed to ease up off Reno with his little anger taunts....The man after all was here to help him. Cloud swallowed then as he knew what he had to say. Apologize..... "Reno...I'm sorry." Did that come out of his mouth? Was he really hearing himself say this? Yes he was. He was only hoping that Reno would realize that Cloud was being honest with him and not just because the man saved his life. Reno could have just left him to be blasted away by PSICOM.....But Reno yet again saved his skin....

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early Well at least Cloud was awake. Reno let out a sigh of relief and wiped his sleeve across his forehead, wiping away the beads of sweat from worrying that PSICOM wasn’t gonna buy his story…or that Cloud wasn’t okay. Reno then stood up and walked over to the busted open area of the train car and looked out. PSICOM was out of view…back on their vehicles and searching for Cloud once more. Reno sighed once again, the cool air outside feeling good and calming down his nerves as he walked back and looked down at Cloud when he said he was fine. Reno had to believe him. Reno nodded a bit. “Good to hear…” He said glancing around the train car. There was no way they were able to get back on the tracks…probably had to just walk it from here. But while Reno was figuring this out he was shocked to hear those two words from Cloud he never imagined to hear…wasn’t it Reno the one apologizing before? What was Reno supposed to say…perhaps they were even now? No, not even close. The past was a lot harder to forgive than someone just blowing up on you…except maybe the choking was a bit much. Reno just sort of stood there, rubbing the back of his head a bit and glancing away before a nervous chuckle escaped his lips. “Don’t worry about it…you got enough weight on your shoulders.”Taking in a big breath Reno pulled his sleeve back away from his wrist and checked his watch…it was getting late. Probably best to get moving and find someplace to stay for the night. Reno was exhausted, of course he was used to events like this, being a Turk and all, but still a lot had happened today. He looked back at Cloud and extended a hand, not really expecting the ex-SOLDIER to take it. “We gotta get going…PSICOM won’t bother us for awhile…they believe that ShinRa has sent me out to look for you…so we’re safe.” He said before looking out the train car once more. “Ahead there is a little town we can stop there for the night…its very small so it should be okay...”Words: 445 Muse: Good Notes: Notta |

“Good to hear…” “Don’t worry about it…you got enough weight on your shoulders.” “We gotta get going…PSICOM won’t bother us for awhile…they believe that ShinRa has sent me out to look for you…so we’re safe.” “Ahead there is a little town we can stop there for the night…its very small so it should be okay...” He nodded. He still could not believe that this Turk was still even here. Even after all that Cloud said and did. He was still here. That showed Cloud a lot about Reno. The man could've easily just let PSICOM take him the minute they boarded the train. But, he didn't. For the first time in a long time, Cloud was opening his eyes and seeing the real Reno. And for once Cloud felt bad for all the things he said and did to the poor guy in the past. But he would never tell Reno that. That would seem he was softening up way to fast. And Cloud couldn't let Reno see him as weakling. He never was before. Cloud hesitated when Reno reached his hand out for him to take...But for the first time, Cloud reached up and took the man's hand in his and was back to his feet in an instant. "Good idea. Let's get out of here...." He let go of Reno's hand though after grabbing a good grip on it. He was not slipping one more time in front of Reno if he could help it. He was suppose to be the ex-soldier here....He wasn't suppose to be the strongest? Well, too bad he couldn't keep the L'Cie thing a secret any more. Reno knew. Cloud walked off the train and felt the cold air hit his lungs yet again. But the weather was the least of his worries. He was not going to let this damned L'Cie thing get him down as they would get near their destination....He had to keep up with a Turk. So that was one reason he was acting as though there was nothing really wrong with him. He was plain out stubborn. "You gonna stand there all night?!" Cloud called out.....

Fiery Red HeadLooks like today we're clockin' out early PSICOM was gone and now was the time to get moving. Reno leaped outside of the train car and just sort of felt relaxed when the cool air hit his face. It was much better than that stuffy train and finally he had a chance to breathe without worrying about Cloud punching his lights out, or PSICOM gunning him down. Now things seemed to run a bit smoother for the Turk, perhaps he was gaining a little bit of ground with Cloud? Better not get his hopes up high. ‘I don’t know why I’m doing all this…why I want this forgiveness so badly…’ he said in his mind, it was very…different to him, ever since that day he met up with Zack he’d wanted a new slate…and ever since Cissnei came back to ShinRa…he wanted to be everybody’s pal and was doing things to help those he probably shouldn’t. Outside, almost stargazing right about now Reno had his hands in his pockets as he stared at the stars. He was thinking about the consequences of his actions. Would he get fired? Would Cissnei be upset with him? Would…he be thrown out on the street or sent to prison? No no no, things wouldn’t go that far would they? He grimaced at the thought and shook it away from his mind when Cloud was ahead and called out at him. Reno blinked for a minute before sighing and giving a brief roll of his eyes. So things weren’t all sugar and rainbows between the two, but at least they weren’t at each other’s throats for now. With that…almost pleasant thought in mind, Reno jogged to catch up to Cloud and then slowed his pace down to be a step or two behind the L’Cie he was protecting. “So…bet’cha that wasn’t the last time we see PSICOM…” he said casually as his eyes flickered around at the area, all it was, was a field with railroad tracks cut into the middle of it…surely the city wouldn’t take that long to get to right? He couldn’t bear anymore of this, running away thing. Words: 425 Muse: Good Notes: Notta |

 Second in CommandLooks like today we're clockin' out early
Finally, Reno got the nerve to catch up and just remain silent. Just walking quietly and what not, it was okay for Reno, so long as no one was getting beaten to a pulp or anything, he was happy. As he continued to trail along slightly behind Cloud he noticed the silence was really long and really…quiet. He raised an eyebrow as he studied Cloud’s face for a moment, he looked to be deep in thought…or miserable, one of the two if not both. Reno then looked forward and cleared his throat. “The City is just ahead….we can stop there for the night…get some food and rest. Tomorrow will be a long day.” He said staring of into the distance of a small town with few lights…it would be the perfect place to hide out. Besides, he already fooled PSICOM into thinking Cloud was on the run, which he sort of was, but Reno was making it all out to be that he was after Cloud as well…which he wasn’t.
As silence continued to stretch on for almost forever, Reno sighed heavily, not liking it all that much. It was like being with Rude, except one false move and Rude wouldn’t explode on you. “I’m sorry for what I said back there…I should know better than the fuel and argument.” He said in a low mumble before wondering to himself why he even apologized…he had saved Cloud’s butt twice today, wasn’t that worth something? Reno just felt the need to get the real apology out, even if it was a wimpy one, it was still one none the less, and with that the two men came into the outskirts of the tiny town ahead.Words: 509 Muse: Good Tagged: Cloud Notes: None |
