You didn't tell anybody else exactly where you were going. After all, you didn't really want anybody disturbing your little day off.

And on cue, the ranch starts to come into view and you swerve onto the long, dirt driveway to leading up to it. As you pull up to the main house, you nudge Lucina awake.

"Hey, Lucy, we're here." You tell her.

"Huh?" Lucina blinks groggily before regaining her senses. "Ah! How long was I asleep?!"

"Not too long, don't worry about it." You assure her as you park the car.

Immediately, the door opens and Springfield steps out, a smile on her face.

"Oh! Lewis, Lucina! I didn't know you would be arriving today!" She says cheerfully, not even seeing a problem with your unannounced arrival.

"Ah, right, of course your mom would leave her behind t take care of the place." Lucina mumbles.

"Don't worry, I don't think she's got any reason to disturb us." You assure her and turn to Springfield. "Is that right?"

"I'm a caretaker, not a spy, if that's what you mean!" Springfield giggles. "Don't worry, I'll take care of all your things. Will you two be sleeping separately or together?"

"W-what?!" Lucina stammers.

Something about Springfield's knowing smile led you to suspect she was more clued in to the situation than you initially realized...

"Together, of course." You grin.

"W-what?!" Lucina blanches.

"Perfect! I can temporarily repurpose the master bedroom then!" Springfield chimes as she casually unloads all of your luggage from the car. "Please! Make yourselves at home!"

"Lewis, what the hell?!" Lucina glowers her face a nice light shad of pink as she elbows you in the chest. "Why did you tell her that?"

"Well, you didn't refuse, did you?" You cheekily point out.

"You-!" Lucina grumbles, knowing that what you said was true. "Jeez, when did you get so confident all of a sudden?"

"A lot of stuff changed." You remark vaguely.

"Obviously." Lucina sighs. "All right, it looks like your mom's Doll is handling unpacking, so what should we do?"

"Well, there is that old, hidden bunker we came across." You note. "The one we couldn't figure out how to open before?"

"Oh riiiiight!' Lucina's eyes light up. "That hatch hidden in the barn, right?"

"That's the one." You nod. "I wonder if we could find a way to open now...."

"Well, we certainly are a lot bigger now, that's for sure." Lucina says happily.

"You're really looking forward to this, aren't you?" You raise an eyebrow.

"It was always a mystery on what was in side!" Lucina says excitedly. "I guess you can say it's triggering my investigative instincts!"

The two of you head to the barn, where you make a beeline to one of the abandoned stables and brush away the old hay littering the ground, exposing an old, metal hatch.

It looked just as solid as ever. To the side, there was a modern electronic keypad, as well as what looked to be a manual override keyhole.

Yeah, this was still going to be a tough nut to crack.

"All right then..." Lucina nods.

You grip the handles on the hatch and pull with all your might. You can feel the hatch creaking and warping under the pressure, but it manages to hold against even your enhanced strength.

"Okay, big boy, looks like you need a little help." Lucina sighs as she steps forward.

"Come on, Lucy, I got this-"

Lucina then grips the handles alongside you and pulls as well. The moment she does so, something gives, and the hatch flies open, revealing a concrete staircase leading down into a dark tunnel.

"So, big boy, you want me to go first?" Lucina smirks. "There might be big spooky ghosts down there."

Damnit, she was totally teasing YOU now!

Fortunately, there didn't appear to be any sort of hidden dangers or traps. However, the hallway is dark and the stairs are rather steep. You see Lucina stumble and you quickly reach down to grab her shoulder to steady her.

"Thanks." Lucina mumbles. "It's so damn dark down here..."

"There's gotta be a light switch." You point out.

"Yeah, just a second."

You can see the faint outline of Lucina reaching her arm out, her hands running across the wall.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, your eyes are filled with blinding light and...

It's quite the sight. It's a simple, concrete bunker, built like a doomsday shelter. There were crates of supplies, ventilation equipment, water tanks, portable generators, and even three cots set off to the side. More than enough resources to keep a small family going for months, maybe even years.

What also catches your eye is an old computer, a heavy, locked steel door, and a smaller passage veering off to the side. If your sense of direction was right, it should lead back towards the house.

"Huh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that your mom has a prepper bunker." Lucina puts her hands on her hips. "Still, this seems like a bit of overkill..."

You head over to the computer while Lucina wanders over to the door. You hit the power key to the machine and are a little surprised that it boots up just fine. Despite its age, it looks like it was still fairly well maintained.

However, as the boot sequence progresses, you notice it pause and give a prompt.

BIOMETRIC READING REQUIRED

Huh, looks like it had some serious security for an old computer. You glance at the blinking thumb reading device on the desk. You wonder if Mom ever keyed your DNA into it. Then again, with your Invader genes, you might be able to spoof her DNA entirely if you wanted.

Speaking of Lucina, she was still inspecting the locked door, her investigative instincts kicking in again.

"I think we should just leave it closed." You remark. "We don't want to get TOO overzealous here."

"Hmmmmmm." Lucina pauses and glances at the door again. "You know what, I guess you're right. We have to save at least a little mystery here."

Lucina glances at the second passage.

"So, I'm guessing that leads back to the house." She surmises. "Makes sense, since if this was a panic bunker, you'd want an easier way to get in than trying to run across the yard to reach the barn."

"Yeah, I"m guessing that, too." You nod, sitting down on one of the cots. "Still, never knew Mom went out of the way to build all this."

"Of course." Lucina nods and follows you out. However, you notice her take one look back at both the locked door and computer. "Did you find anything on the computer?"

"It's a biometric lock. Pretty sure it's keyed to my Mom's DNA, and I didn't want to risk tripping anything off." You tell her.

"It's ancient history, Lucy." You assure her. True, you did feel betrayed and jealous when you found out Lucina was supposed to be better than you in every way, but, well, that was a lot of years ago. Things had changed since then.

"Yeah, well, Nemo was still bitter about it." Lucina sighs. "And you know how she can hold a grudge."

"Don't worry, I know what it's like to have a really strong sister, too." You chuckle.

Lucina finally gets off of you and lies down flat on her back next to you, staring up at the dimming sky.

"It's just so weird. I'm so nostalgic for those old days, but the more I think about it, everything was so messed up with all that drama..."

You then feel her hand clasping yours.

"But hearing you say that it doesn't bother you anymore... that really made me relieved, you know?"

"Huh?" Lucina blinks, looking at you curiously.

"I only found this out recently myself, but it turns out that I have Invader DNA. Like, the pure kind. I'm part Invader." You finally tell her, every word feeling like a weight being taken off your chest.

"R-really...." Lucina pauses. "Huh."

"You don't seem to surprised." You raise an eyebrow.

"Well, I've always suspected you were using black market or unregistered biomods. Most Hunters do, you know." Lucina explains. "N-not that it made me think any less of you or anything!"

"Uh huh." You nod, unconvinced.

"And, well, that just makes me wonder how you got Invader DNA in the first place." Lucina narrows her eyes. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was another experiment from my mom. Or... does it have something to do with yours?"

"Man... we have really fucked up moms, don't we?" You groan.

"You're telling me." Lucina sighs. "So, I guess that means we're both freaks, huh? At least we have that much in common."

"Heeeeeey! Dinner's ready!" You hear Springfield call out in the distance. "Better come while it's still hot!"

"Ah, well, guess we can just be freaks together, huh?" You smile as you get up.

"Yeah... together." Lucina smiles and stands up as well, still keeping your hand gripped in hers.

>And that's it for tonight! We'll continue things on Saturday so stay tuned!

Morning comes as the early sunlight filters through the bedroom window. You wince a little, but start to rouse from your slumber.

It's then that you notice and remember Lucina was in bed with you, her arms wrapped around you and snoring softly. Guess she was really short on sleep.

You also note that...

Neither of you were wearing clothes. It was then that memories of last night started coming back to you. Nothing specific, but a vivid blur of heat, motion, and instinct.

And now, you could feel Lucina's bare and very warm body pressing against your back. Your first instinct is to wonder if this is Carol playing another prank on you, but your logic quickly catches up and reminds you that it's impossible. Carol was practically an ocean away. And even then, you doubt Carol could match the sincerity you could feel from Lucina's grip on you.

You look to the side of the room, where you could see that silly dinosaur onesie you got as a gift for Lucina thrown haphazardly over a chair. You remember Lucina had actually worn it as a "favor" to you last night, but at some point it had been hastily, almost violently taken off and discarded.

You were still trying to make sense of what happened when you hear a soft knock on the door.

"Lewis? Lucina?" Springfield's voice emanates from the opposite side. "I'm preparing breakfast. It should be ready in a few minutes!"

Lucina mumbles something incoherent.

>You should wake her up. Don't want breakfast to get cold.
>Let her rest for a little while more.
>Other

>>3414153
>You should wake her up. Don't want breakfast to get cold.

Oh no what if Lucina got pregnant from all the raw unprotected handholding we did?

>>3414153
>You should wake her up. Don't want breakfast to get cold.

>>3414179
Shit, we still need to talk to her about the Magical Girl part of Lewis.

>>3414153
>Let her rest for a little while more.

>>3414179
I'm sure Lewis wore a condom or at least pulled out, right? Unless his hybrid sperm somehow ate through it.

>>3414153
>>Let her rest for a little while more.
Might need a shower.

You carefully and quietly slip out of Lucina's grasp, figuring she could use a few more minutes of sleep. You quietly tiptoe to the bathroom for a quick shower and change of clothes before exiting the bedroom. As expected, you see Springfield working the kitchen, the smell of pancakes and bacon filling the air.

"Good morning, Lewis!" Springfield says happily. "Are you all right? It seemed like you and Lucina didn't get much sleep last night!"

>You could say that, yeah.
>You don't have to keep playing dumb.

"You don't have to keep playing dumb, Springfield." You sigh. "I know you're here to do more than just cook and clean for Mom."

"Quite observant of you." Springfield keeps smiling. "I'm sure Alice would be thrilled that not only did you rekindle your relationship with Lucina, but you consummated it on her very own bed!"

"Yeah, 'thrilled.'" You groan, now the regret phase kicking in.

"Oh, don't worry, I doubt she'll do much. Springfield says cheerfully as she switches off the stove, letting the bacon sizzle on the pan for a few seconds longer. "I'm sure you've figured out by now that despite her thorny behavior she has quite the soft heart."

"I am a bit aware of that, yeah." You nod, sitting down at the table. "So... has it been lonely out here with her gone?"

"I'm not programmed to be bothered by being left alone." Springfield tuts as she piles the bacon and pancakes into separate plates. "But the days aren't quite as... eventful."

"Nnnnn, is that breakfast?" Lucina mumbles as she stumbles out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes. You note that she's not properly dressed, only having put on a pair of shorts and one of your shirts.

"Yep." You nod. "And you're finely dressed this morning."

"Shut up, it's not often I can just slack off like this." Lucina mumbles as she takes her own seat.

"Well, let's dig in!" You say as Springfield sets down the plates in front of you, as well as jugs of milk and juice.

"Oh my god it looks so good." Lucina's mouth waters as she takes a bite of pancake. "It IS good!"

"Why thank you!" Springfield giggles.

"You know, I wonder if I could somehow get Nemo to download cooking software into ST-AR..." Lucina muses.

"She doesn't seem to be the type to appreciate that." You point out.

"But you'd totally want to see it, right?" Lucina chuckles. "Maybe you should teach HK a few domestic skills."

"Well, it's not entirely a bad idea." You admit. "Nothing wrong with picking up more skills."

"Right?" Lucina chuckles right as a phone rings.

"What? You've got your phone on?" You raise an eyebrow. "I thought we were on a vacation here."

"I'm so sorry." Lucina blanches. "This an emergency phone. This is only supposed to ring if something serious happens." Lucina fumbles with the phone briefly and picks it up. "Barry, what happened?"

You can't her what Barry is reporting, but whatever it is, it makes Lucina blanch.

"I know Irons would have signed it, but who in the hell issued a warrant in the first place?!" Lucina snaps. "Damnit, all right, I'll get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, nobody from the department makes a move on this. Period."

Lucina then hangs up and turns to you.

"Bad news, I assume." You sigh.

"Very bad." Lucina shakes her head. "The district attorney's office just issued an arrest warrant for you."

"For what?!" You blink. "I haven't blown anything up this time."

"That's the thing. All the warrant said was 'Suspicion of possession of illegal biological modifications.'" Lucina glowers. "You don't think someone might have picked up on the Invader DNA you're carrying?"

"It's possible, but I haven't told anybody else." You frown.

"Still, the warrant was signed by Irons and I know for sure he's in Umbrella's pocket." Lucina seethes. "I need to get back and get this sorted out..."

Especially since Lucina might be considered a Person of Interest, considering her relationship with us. (The publicly known one.) They might think she's harboring or something.

"Sounds like the best course of action." You sigh. "Just be careful out there."

"Don't worry, they're definitely not after me." Lucina gives a grin as she quickly wolfs down the last of her bacon and pancakes. "Anyways, I have to head back to Raccoon to get this sorted out. I can guarantee you that the RCPD won't enforce the warrant, but that doesn't rule out the DA from employing 'independent' assistance." Lucina warns. "And unlike my officers, they don't have to worry about jurisdiction. Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Hm, well, the ranch was both secluded and fortified. Set up to be hard to find and even harder to safely assault. Even if it was just you and Springfield here, you could definitely hold your own if it came down to it.

Then again, Auntie Egan had her own private lab facility which was heavily secure, and you could count on whatever resources she had to help you out. But it was a ways away, and trying to contact her for assistance or making your way there would make you vulnerable.

And there was also the BSAA to consider. It looked like they had no love for Umbrella either, and were possibly even investigating them. Plus you had an in through Melissa, who you managed to earn the respect of. Maybe a federal agency could convince Umbrella to back off...

"Don't worry, Mom's prepared this place pretty thoroughly." You grin. "I think I'll be good here."

"All right." Lucina nods. "I know you might want to try and contact and get HK or my mom to come and help, but... be careful. Umbrella's got a lot of reach so any form of communication to your acquaintances can risk them tracing things back to you."

"Assuming they don't already have an idea of where I am." You grunt.

"Yeah, well, that's how it is." Lucina concedes.

At this point, Lucina had already hastily swapped her clothes out for something more proper. Springfield was already carting her luggage back to the car.

"Anyways, stay safe, Lewis." Lucina says as she kisses you on the cheek. "I'll let you know once I get things handled on my end."

"Good luck to you, too." You smile. "I'll be waiting."

And like that, Lucina is back in the car and driving off at maximum speed. Shit, couldn't even have more than a day before something happened, huh?

"So, will you be calling for backup?" Springfield asks. "Alice keeps a secure communication terminal in the emergency bunker. No guarantees that whoever is targeting you can't tap it, but it's certainly better than using your own phone."

Well, that was for certain...

"Yeah, I think I'll try to get HK here." You say.

"It'll be quicker to reach the bunker through this way." Springfield walks back to the bedroom and pushes the bed to the side to reveal a concealed hatch, similar to the one in the barn. Guess this was the secondary entrance to the bunker.

You follow Springfield through the tunnel back to the main chamber of the bunker, where the terminal was still sitting.

"Alice made sure to include your biometrics in the system so that you could unlock it yourself." Springfield informs you.

"Ah, okay." You nod as you put your thumb on the reader.

As the terminal activates, you immediately input HK's direct frequency. It would definitely be more secure than the regular phones.

"HK, can you hear me?" You say through the speaker. "HK?"

"Affirmative. I hear you loud and clear, Lewis." HK replies. "There is some confusion going on at the office. Apparently word has spread that there is an arrest warrant for you."

"Yeah, well, it complicated." You grunt. "Look, is there any way you can get to the Ranch? That's my current location right now."

"Of course, Lewis." HK replies.

"And bring everything you got. Expect a fight." You add.

"Affirm-"

Suddenly, you're interrupted by a burst of static that buzzes through your ears, causing you to recoil from the terminal.

"Agh" You grunt.

"Oh dear, it looks like their capabilities are more sophisticated than we thought." Springfield sighs as she unlocks the sealed door. "If they've jammed the transmitter this quickly, it only means they will be closing in on us shortly."

And on the other end of the door, you could see a veritable armory of all sorts of weaponry. Enough to arm a small army, you think. Everything from pistols, rifles, grenades, machine guns, and even some super heavy and exotic looking ordnance. Was Mom stockpiling all this stuff?!

"Activate the security cameras." Springfield points to the terminal and you quickly hit the command.

Immediately, a number of small screens winked on the monitor, showing various areas around the ranch. Looks like Mom was REALLY prepared.

And already, you could see a convoy of SUVs and trucks rolling down the main gravel road towards the ranch, while a quartet of black helicopters were flying low and fast over the forest.

Well, they had the numbers, but you had the home field advantage...
