*knock*knock*
Dmitri opening the door; Jeremy! It's been too long.
Jerry in a yukata; it's always a pleasure Mr. Hoff. Are you enjoying your stay?
I hope everything is too your liking?
Dmitri; it's absolutely fantastic.
Jerry; It's great to know. Anyway, how's Jessie doing?
Dmitri; she's doing well.
Jerry; nice, because I actually came to speak with her.
Dmitri; oh, she's in her room. You can go see her.
Jerry before entering the room; do I need to keep the door open 3 inches?
Dmitri; If I was afraid of that, I wouldn't have accepted your invite in the first place.
Jerry; Ah, good to know.
Upon entering the room, Jerry saw Jessie laying on her bed.
Jerry; what are you doing?
Jessie; did you forget what we discussed?
Jerry; you could have just given us the info you had over a text. Instead, you come here, why?
Jessie; can't a girl just want to give her poor father a moment of peace?
Jerry; at a potential terrorist target?
Jessie; nothing is perfect, I guess.
Jerry; you want revenge, for the one who killed your mother. There's no use trying to hide it.
Jessie; and if I do?
Jerry; I can't allow that.
Jessie; because you think I'm too stupid to fend for myself.
Jerry; no, because I don't want to see your father's face when something happens to you, I can tell that man has been through a lot.
Jessie; …
Jerry; just sit back and watch. And by the way, I need your report at Lara's desk by tomorrow.
Jerry then left the room
A few hours later, Jerry was enjoying apple juice while laying on a chair on the balcony of the Takaito.
Jerry; I don't usually come here in moments like these, but for you I made an exception.
Dmitri laying on a beach chair; how do you have all this?
Jerry; I was born privileged. Though, I always try to help people, then one day I ended up helping the right people and year later, I'm here.
Dmitri; it's always nice to have a good Samaritan in this world.
Jerry; I agree. Sorry to bring this up, but I heard about your wife. I'm sorry to hear that.
Dmitri; is that why you called me up here?
Jerry; no. I need to ask you, you are aware of what we plan to do to those terrorists aren't you?
Dmitri; I am. At least partially.
Jerry; then let me ask you, do you hate them?
Dmitri; ?
Jerry; If you do that's perfectly justified. they've taken too many people away from us. And for that they need to pay dearly.
Dmitri; what's this about?
Jerry; it's about Jessie. She's deluded herself into thinking she can fix all her problems while disregarding her own life like it's no big deal.
Dmitri; I see. I guess it's the thing we have in common then. To answer your question…
Dmitri's face darkened and was filled with anger so much it seemed his eyes were glowing as he ground his own teeth.
Dmitri; I HATE THOSE BASTARDS!
Jerry; I see, then join us. Help us take down those bastards, and save countless lives.
Dmitri; what would you have me do?
Dmitri after Jerry told him the plan; wow, and here I thought I'd wait to get to hell before meeting the devil, it turns out he's right in front of me.
Jerry; sometimes to take down a devil we must become one ourselves.
Jerry while stretching out his arm; So, are you ready to make a deal with one?
Dmitri; since the day I saw my wife in pieces.
He then grabbed Jerry's hand
The next day…
Jerry in a special ward; you're doing much better than I thought, aren't you, Izuku?
Izuku was eating an apple with a bionic arm.
Izuku after swallowing; I'm as fire as ever!
Jerry; I wasn't around to tell you this, but you were fantastic.
Izuku had both arms and one leg replaced, the remaining one was yet to be installed.
Izuku; where this this come from all of a sudden?
Jerry; normally I would go around apologizing for not being there. But I knew that wouldn't suit you.
Izuku; and you knew right, what happens to me is my business and mine alone.
He then continued to eat the apple.
Jerry; I believe so. That's also what Kongou told me.
Izuku with a smirk; …
Jerry; she knows you a lot, doesn't she?
Izuku; sometimes I think she's too perfect for me.
Jerry; do you think you'll ever surpass her?
Izuku; I refuse to stop until I do.
Jerry; right.
*ring*
Jerry; Hello?
Iris; hey Jerry, it's me.
Jerry; what is it, Iris?
Iris; I'm pregnant.
