Bam bit his knuckle to not laugh and nodded. He then said nothing as Melissa spoke, merely so that he didn't say something completely unrelated... Then Melissa asked him what they should do and Bam shrugged.
"I have no idea." He looked at Kuro. "Kid, whaddya wanna do?" He asked, then had the feeling that Kuro would probably ask Melissa and they'd end up going in circles... Eh, at least then they would be doing something... Yes, it would be going around in an asking circle, but it would be something other than standing around wondering what to do and, probably, picking their noses...
Well... Bam would do that... Just to try and lighten the mood a little...

"Hmm, well, I've already trained today.....And I've already eaten....How about we just explore HQ? It would be nice to know whats here." He figured he'd stay here. It beats running from hiding place to hiding place,tryinjg not to get knabbed by SMILE."And by the way, if I decide to stay here, where would I live? Do I get assigned my own living quarters?"

Melissa rubbed her chin in thought, after giving Bam a quick hit on the arm. "Yeah, I suppose we could take you around." As she stretched out er body, she headed towards the door. "It's not up to you if you stay here. But if you are accepted, you can ask for a place to stay." She explained. Rebel homes weren't always of the nicest quality, and some were pretty crummy. Melissa had a pretty decent place to stay, so she couldn't really complain about it too much.
Glancing over towards the door, then back to her friends, she smiled. "Not many interesting places to find though, if I'm honest with you. And it's way too easy to get lost." She smiled, nodding her head and rubbing her stomach lightly.

Bam gave the blonde girl a questioning look when she hit him and, when Melissa had finished talking, Bam grabbed both of their hands and moved to drag the pair of them towards the door.
"Can we go int'the tunnels?!" Bam whined at Melissa and looked at her while continuing to attempt dragging them both out of the room. He loved the tunnels... Bam actually knew how to get around them without getting lost due to the fact that he sometimes disappeared down there and just poked his nose around the place, figuring things out and finding every way around the place.
Whining a little, Bam continued to attempt to drag the pair of them. It was just that... He really badly wanted them to hurry up and move...

Kuro shrugged."K,then.I suppose I'll just have to sign up for the Rebellion sometime.So where we headed first?" When Bam started dragging Melissa and him along to the tunnels,, he blinked."Geuss that answers my question."

Melissa squirmed out of Bam's grip and instead walked at his side. She''d be dragging him if he didn't watch hi behavior. "Yeah, the tunnels are a good place to get started I suppose." With a last look behind her at the gym/training area they had just left, she headed along with Brandon Napier and Kuro Okami.
A few lights flickered as they moved around, headed downwards towards the tunnel, through doors and along hallways. Benches and maps adorned the walls of the tunnels Bam seemed so fond of. Melissa looked to Kuro, then to the red haired boy she was friends with.

Bam bounced now and hugged Melissa when they got to the tunnels. He then let go of the kid's hand and ran down a random tunnel, laughing hysterically as he did so. Bam then stuck his head back into the tunnel the others were in and grinned.
"You comin'?" He called, giggled, and began tapping on one of the tunnel walls while he waited. Bam couldn't help it... This was, without doubt, his favourite place to go. At night, the tunnels were pitch black and you couldn't see to the end of your nose, and so, Bam often stayed here during the night... Occasionally leaving one of the tunnels to go into the city, set fire to a SMILE van... Maybe thief one of the vans and go joy riding it in... Who knows? But it was all great fun...
Tapping on the wall, still, Bam sighed. "While we're young." He giggled and moved more into the darkness of the tunnel.

Shrugging, Kuro followed Bam."So,where do we go ater this?" He asked, looking around and examinating the various objects.

Melissa looked to Kuro, and laughed, "Shut up and enjoy the ride. Let's stop thinking about what's happening after this, or when this happens." Melissa nodded her shaggy blonde head wisely. Before making the not so wise decision of chasing after the red headed friend. "I'mma gonna get you Bam! Come on Kuro, help me get him!" She grinned, running after Brandon.
Melissa's decision to run was one not many people would make with a cast, but everyone needed to have fun, with or without a cast on their arm.
While it was still somewhat possible to see stuff in the tunnels, she figured they could all have fun while doing it. Well, why not, yes, they were technically not meant to be down here unless going somewhere. But they were going to the land of fun times and joy? Who knew. Melissa's mind was gabbling now, as she ran and chased Brandon.

Bam laughed as he ran and tripped over. He burst out laughing and lay on his back while laughing. He then stood and put his hands on his hips. He bounced over to Kuro and put his arm around the kid's shoulders.
"Live for today, Kid," He then whispered in the boy's ear. "because SMILE might have you tomorrow." Then bounced off cackling and wrapped his arms around Melissa's neck. "Sweets! Dance!" He yelled out and began to try and drag her into ballroom dancing in the tunnel.
Yeah... Bam was a tiny, little bit hyper now... Eh, oh well...

Kuro shrugs, grinning."Yeah, you guys are right." Busting out laughing at the sight of Bam tying to convince Melissa to ballroom dance, Kuro managed to choke out,"Hhahahhaha...I..hahaha..aint..haha..laughed..like this since before..." Kuro aruplty stopped laughing, his face troubled."I-I'm just gonna go check out this tunnel....I'll be right back,guys." Away,he walked, rubbing at his eyes, deeper into the tunnel.

Melissa bowed to Brandon's invitation to dance, to which she accepted and began to lead. "Traaa laa laaa!" She sang as she spun and twirled with Bam, glad to hear laughter at their antics. Majority of the time, when people saw Melissa and Bam playing and bullying each other, they got tuts and slaps on the wrists. So it was nice to feel accepted and laughed with while they entertained. A part of her thought, that in some years time, once SMILE was no longer around (or so she hoped), that they could be street performers. Or entertainers. But that was a distant dream, and Melissa had other hopes for her life time too.
So, brushing those thoughts away, she continued dancing until Kuro wandered off. "Don't stray too far! You can get lost very easily in these tunnels!" She warned, her voice bouncing off the walls as she twirled Brandon under her arm.

Bam giggled when Melissa led the dancing and sung along, even though he had no idea what he was doing or what he was singing along to, and so got completely out of whatever timing thing they had... Or Melissa had... Or just... Generally...
When he heard Kuro laughing, Bam grinned and sung as loud as he could, though it just ended up being a bunch of na's... Then the boy began to walk off, and Bam nodded along with Melissa's words before whispering, very softly so that only she could hear: "Shall we bugger off someplace? Make him think he has gotten lost?"
Bam could be cruel when he wanted to be... And this was one of those times... So he ignored whatever her answer was, whether it was a yes or a no, and attempted to drag her off while continuing to dance. So much fun...

Kuro sat on the floor, crying."Mom, Dad,Im so,so sorry. I, I haven't brought them down yet, but I will, I swear it." His eyes burned with hatred."Even if I have to kill every single one of them, I'll do it." Finally he let himself greive like he'd been wanting to. "MOOM! DAAAAD! IM SO SORRY!UWAAAAAH!UWAAAH!"

Melissa was laughing, and generally spinning off with Bam when she heard the emotionally tortured shriek of young Kuro. Stopping Bam from going anywhere with a grab to the scruff of his shirt, she looked in the general direction of the noise. Which could have been anywhere, really, considering the echo and the fact that they were in tunnels. And Melissa was pretty disorientated from all the spinning and dancing and bloody loud singing.
With the mothering instinct somewhere inside Melissa, under the alcohol, tar, nicotine addiction, childishness and whatever else - She felt the need to go to Kuro's side. Setting out to find the poor soul that was obviously just letting himself grieve over what had happened to him, Melissa dragged her flame haired friend along behind her.

Bam almost fell over when Melissa grabbed the scruff of his shirt and he didn't hear Kuro at all, though probably because he wasn't listening, and so just stumbled along after her, rather clueless as to what was going on until his ears actually tuned in and he heard the same sound as Melissa, only Bam's first thought was to leave him alone and not interfere... But that was more because Bam didn't like to stick his nose into other people's lives than anything else...
Jogging along with her now, because there was nothing else he could do, Bam said nothing and continued to move with her in half hopes that she'd get lost...

Kuro didnt hear his freinds approaching, he was lost in his greif, flashing back to that day....
"Bed time, son," his father declared.He ws a big bear of a man, with a gruff look,and a gruff voice. But he was one of the kindest people you could ever know."Aww,but daaad, I'm almost fifthteen.Can I please stay up another hour?" his mother rolled her eyes. Slim and wiry, and short also, it was obvious who Kuro took his body build after.But he still managed to look more like his dad,having his features."I don't think so, Mister. Its 10:00. Defintly bedtime." Kuro stumbled up to his bed, konking out imeddiatly. He woke up later to the pained screams of his mother and father. SMILE thugs had broken in, and were shooting his parents in their limbs. Kuro stumbled down, watching as his mom and dad were finally shot in the head."Noooo!!" Pickign up his fathers Lazer Blade, he was about to strike when he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his side.There was darkness.....

Melissa continued to drag Brandon through the tunnels. Kuro hadn't gone that far, surely not. And they hadn't danced miles away. Though they had been planning to, Okami's noise had stopped them. Well, stopped her. Bam seemed ready to dance forever. Something she believed he could do if he put his mind to it.
Frowning, Melissa turned a corner, then another, then another until she finally found the young teenager crying in a heap on the floor. Crouching down, and letting go of the red head, she placed her good hand on his shoulder and shook him lightly. Partially thinking he'd fallen asleep. She often fell asleep after crying. Finding that she didn't have the energy to do much else.
"Kuro?" Melissa cooed softly, shaking his shoulder a little to get him out of his reverie and back into reality with his friends.

Bam was silent, not going closer to Kuro or Melissa and certainly not about disrupt whatever peace the boy had been wanting... Needing, probably... Everyone, even Bam, needed peace sometimes... Even if it were just so that they could grieve, or do whatever they needed to do, then they still needed time away from everyone else...
Bam leaned against the wall, keeping away from the pair, and looked at the floor. He heard Melissa say the boy's name and a very soft pair of words came from Bam.
"Leave him."
It wasn't that Bam was being heartless, but he just felt that the boy should be left alone. He had walked off for a reason... And Bam assumed that he had walked off because he wanted to be alone... Bam could be wrong, of course, but he had a feeling he wasn't, somehow...

Kuro snapped outta his flashblack when Melissa touched his shoulder.Standing up, he stracthed the back of his head."Um, sorry about that...I,er, didnt want you to see me like this....Flipping outs not really my thing,y'know?" He kept his head bowed, not wanting them to see the inhuman anger and near unbearable sadness that he knew still lurked in his eyes.
