A hotel in Sandusky, Ohio | Monday Night

[knife_bender]

Diego had made a promise to Annie to not hurt The Deep. He fully intended to keep that promise. However nothing was said about not watching while other people hurt The Deep. It was a loophole, and he knew it, but one he fully intended to take advantage of.

She probably shouldn't have told him that the asshole got transferred to Sandusky today.

He hadn't fully explained to Steve why he had brought Five along to their little adventure, but he figured the situation would explain itself soon enough.

"Okay, so, I figure we pretend Five is a fan," Diego said as the elevator dinged to let them off on the upper floors. "And we're just his exasperated guardians letting him meet his hero."

He said 'guardians' like he didn't know he would yet again be mistaken for Five's father. At least Steve also now had to deal with being one of Five's dads this time.

[For a few!]

"Huh," Steve said. "That explains how you know your way around a fire ax."

Maybe. If you squinted.

"That was mostly from our childhood," Five replied, pretty matter of factly as he chose to lead the way out of there.

"Yeah, Steve already got a brief introduction about our dad," Diego said. "What else is there to do in Ohio aside from rollercoasters?"

Look, they were here, they might as well make the most of it.

Steve had absolutely no idea: he'd only been to the coasts. "Um. Drive around? Start a bar fight with racists?"

[apocalypsehow]

"Cow tipping?" Five also had no clue what happened in middle America outside of murder.

"Clearly I'm asking the wrong people," he said. "Let's go to a bar, order cheese fries and try to sneak Five drinks."

And then they can get into an intense argument over whether Skyline Chili was good or not.

Steve grinned. "Sounds like fun. Maybe they have a pool table and we can make some money, too."

"Do better with darts." That was as much talking up of Diego as he was physically capable of.
