A scruffy tomboy enters the building...

[Clad in her usual over-sized and boyish clothing, 10 year old Helena Dolph walks in a seemingly calm manner down the halls of the nexus. She's nervous of couse, but not showing it. Her father had prepared her for this type of situation... She just can't let the fear get to her.]

[All Helena has to do is find a way out of here and call for help, right? And if she should run into her captors... well...

...She'll just have to show them that they picked the wrong kid to abduct. Young!Fortune may not be a child soldier, but she IS a kid growing up in NYC, and the daughter of a proud Marine commandant. Daddy didn't raise no fool.]

"Pfft. And mom said that dad was being "overprotective" with those self-defense lessons. Shows how much SHE knows..."

Perhaps there is somebody here who would teach you.

[A scowl then formed on Esme's face.] All cops seem to be useless. They claim to fight for justice, yet there are always so many people that wind up suffering. Americans are worse, because they always poke their nose into everyone else's business, but never bring up a finger to help the ones that really need it!

Well, I don't really know any cops, so I can't say if that's true or not...

But at least the American Marines are good, right? I know they do a lot of good! [small smile]

Marines...?

[shrug] I do not know about them, so I can not say whether they are good or bad.

Believe me, they're awesome. My dad's in the marines! He always helps people in need.

So where are you from?

Is that so? I will have to ask Saladin about it sometime...

I am from Kirkuk...it is a city in Iraq. Where are you from?
