Learning Where We Go
6/22/1943, London Waters, London
Namor had been waiting before he had noticed that there was none other than Dorma and Nammu, the former had looked happy at that before The Prince had smiled at them both, “I’m glad that you’re back.” he had said, making Nammu give a smile at that before taking a breath, “You need to find Meranno, and kill him.” she had said, making Namor look at her in worry.
“What about Schmidt?” he had asked of her, making Nammu smile while Dorna had spoken, “Schmidt has been taken care of.” She had said, “Now we only need to worry about Meranno.” The Lady had said and hearing that, he had nodded before Nammu spoke, “See you later, Namor.” she had told him before going to kiss his cheek, confusing him, “‘See you later’?” he had asked of her.
“I’m going to The Pacific Theater.” She had said and hearing that, he was about to say something when a thought had come to mind, “There’s a threat over there, isn’t there?” he had said and hearing that, the two of them had smiled at her, “I’ll be with Opistho, don’t worry.” The Atlantean had said, making him take a breath before grinning, “Give them hell.” he said, making them smile.

As he had walked out and looked around, he saw that Randall and Tommy had went and approached him, “Namor! What’s got you in such a good mood?” Randall had asked with curiosity, “I just learned that one of my old friends is back safe and sound.” he had said and hearing that, the two curious, “Oh, what’s the fellas name?” Tommy had asked of him, making Namor chuckle at that.
“Her name is Nammu.” he had said, making the two of them look at each other before they had went and started to approach, “She your gal Friday?” Tommy asked before Randal recalled, “She was that mystery girl, huh?” he had asked, making the Atlantean shake his head at that, “No,” he said, “If I were to say any one of my friends were that close, it’d be Dorma.” he said.
That had made the two of them all the more curious at that as Namor had started to walk, “So then, what’s on the agenda now?” Tommy had asked, making Namor smile at that, “I’m going to get to work.” he had said towards them and hearing that, the two of them smiled at that while Namor had started to think on how he would be able to find Meranno so he could tear him apart.

6/27/1943, Bobo’s Home, Long Beach
Bobo had been looking through the reports that he had been going over from the spies, and as he had done so, the Atlantean had started to take a breath before he had heard the sound of a person approaching, confused, the Atlantean had taken his pistol, at the ready right now as he had noticed that there was no one at the door, making him glare at that, wondering where they were when he heard a window open.
Panicking, the man had turned to see that it was Nammu with a smile as she had entered now, looking around with some curiosity at everything that was there, “Bobo! I missed you!” The girl had said towards him, going and hugging her compatriot who had went and happily did as much, the boy had grinned, “Great to see you too, Numma.” he had told her, making her pout at that.
“So what are you doing here?” Bobo had asked in curiosity, making Nammu pull back and sigh, “I have a mission that requires me to work with Opistho.” he had said, making the exiled Prince sigh at that, “Him and his cell latched onto a vessel like barnacles, they already set themselves up with an operation.” he had warned, making her nod at that as The two of them had thought.
“I need to see them, any idea how I’m going to get there?” she had asked, making the man chuckle at that, “It’s a shame, but we’ve got a new way to get around.” he had explained to her, going and walking, Nammu was curious on what he was going to point her to a dock that seemed to have something submerged right now, making her confused as he had went and pulled up something.
It was some sort of metal sailfish that had been made large enough that somebody could go inside and as they had noticed everything, it was beautiful now and it had made her smile, “Is this based off of the Manta?” she had asked, making the man smile at that, “It is,” Bobo had told her, “I take it you have experience?” he had asked of her, making Nammu grin as she had went to get acquainted with her vessel now.

6/27/1943, Kendal Residence, New Canaan
Cass had been waiting in excitement as she had watched the door open up, seeing the man, Cass had tried to sneak towards him, but the man simply chuckled, “Hello there, Miss Kendal.” he had said, making Cass pout at that, “How did you know?” she had asked of him with a pout at that before he had chuckled, going and sitting down now and was waiting for her.
Cass had went and sat beside him, curious while Mr. Burke had went and sat with a patient look, “How do you know?” She had asked, making the man chuckle at that before he had lowered his glasses once mow, “It’s my superpower.” he had told her, “I can look into the future and see whatever I can.” he had told her, making Cass gasp in surprise at that, “That’s incredible!” she had said.
He had chuckled at that, “I know.” he had said towards her, “But I have to be SUPER secret about it.” he had said towards her, making Cass nod, “I understand.” she had whispered towards him, knowing that she was given something super secret, like when she was told to NEVER tell people about her wings or how her hair wasn’t naturally blonde, “Can you tell me my future?” she had asked.
That had made him smile as the man had went and lowered his glasses, looking her straight in the eyes and as they had done so much, Burke had taken a breath before having a deep breath as he had put them back on, “Okay, what would you like to know?” he had asked her, making Cass think on something before having an idea, “Will I marry Pat?” she had asked him.
That had made the man smile at that before he had spoken, “Yes, you will, and then you’ll be happy, and then you’ll be sad, and then you’ll be happy to finally meet your father.” he had told her, making Cass confused, “Daddy’s in there.” she said, pointing towards his office, making Burke shake his head at that, “Not him, your real father.” he had said to her, surprising Cass at that.
“Mommy cheated on Daddy?” she had said towards him, making Burke shake his head, “Your mother never created on your father.” he had told her, confusing the young girl even more, unsure what he had meant, the thought hurting her brain before she had decided on a new question, “Do I have any kids?” she had asked him, making Burke think on that, “You have one,” he had said.
“Her name will be Kingsley, she’s beautiful, but humanity will see her as a monster.” he had said towards her, making Cass glare at that before she had pouted, “I don’t like that.” Cass told him, making Burke smile as he had pat her shoulder, “Then you’ll just have to love her all the more.” he had told her, making Cass smile at that before she had thought on a big question.
“What’s your price?” she had asked, making Burke pause at that, making him chuckle at that, “Looks like Mr. Kendal taught you well.” he had told her before he had went and stood up before her, making Cass think that he had looked pretty tall right about now, “When you meet your Uncle’s future wife, you’re going to be in a special position, and when that happens, I would like a partnership.” he said.
That had made the girl confused, “A partnership?” she had asked of him, “Yes, my company, Delphes Capital Management, I would like to work with their kingdom.” he had said and hearing that, Cass got excited, “I’m a princess?” she had asked, making the man smile at that when he had seen that Elizabeth was walking in, “Ah, looks like we will have to talk later.” he had said to her.
“I will see you in 1954.” he had said towards them before he had went and started to walk away, making her all the more confused at that before she had turned and seen that there was her sister, “Lizzie!” Cass had shouted, going and heading towards her now, “Mr. Burke said that I’m a princess!” she had said, going and hugging her deeply now with Lizzie worried.
“What?” she had asked, making the little girl nod, “Yeah. Mr. Burke said that my– my future kingdom–” “Cassandra, Elizabeth, what are you talking about?” he had said, making the two sisters looked at each other before Liz spoke, “Oh, looks like Mr. Burke has taken a liking to Cass.” she had said, making Cass nod at that, “Yeah! He said that we were going to see each other in 1954!” she said.
Hearing that, he had looked at them before taking a breath, “Well, good thing, we can always use a connection with him.” he had said, walking off and as he had done so, the man had left them there, making the two sisters smile at each other before they had decided to go and enjoy themselves right about now as the little girl had wondered what it was that he meant by her father and mother.

7/1/1943, Atlantean Intelligence Camp, Ryūgū-jō
Nammu had finally arrived and as she had looked around at everything before seeing that the Atlanteans that were there had went and readied their weapons towards the sailfish before she had went and landed it, getting out and raising her hands which had made them all a bit less on guard as she had went and started to approach it now with some curiosity.
As she did so, Opistho had approached her, “Nammu, pleasure.” the Atlantean had said towards her before he swam, “I understand that you understand Lemurian, correct?” he had asked of her, making Nammu nod, “[I know it like the back of my hand.]” she had said towards him, making the man nod at that before he had spoken, “[You will be in charge of interception then.]” he told her.
That had made the woman surprised, “Why do you want me to? I thought that we’re part of an alliance with them?” she had asked of the soldier who had sighed at that before he had looked around, “Just because you are friends with your family here, does not mean that we can trust King Naga to not betray us.” he had said towards her, making Nammu act on impulse.
“[Long may he reign.]” she had said, making the man nod, “That’s what I am looking for.” he had told her, “You know the culture, the way of the people, “It makes you perfect.” he had said towards her, making Nammu nod at that as she had looked, “So you want me to betray my family?” she had asked of him, making him look, “You will do what you are told.” he said, making her start to dislike him more.

7/1/1943, Namoroth Residence, Residential Area
Nammu had approached the home of her grandmothers Lemurian family, taking a deep breath, she had went and knocked on it, making the door open up and as it had done so, a Lemurian Warrior had a blade ready, aimed at her throat, “[Who are you? State your intentions!]” he had asked of her, making Nammu glare towards him, “[Jaoc! What are you–?]” Tali said when she noticed something.
It was as if they had seen that there was her cousin, making her smile at that, “[Nuuma!]” Tali had shouted, going and swimming forward to embrace her, Nammu had smiled, taking that embrace happily and as she had done so, the two of them had missed each other while Jaoc had been even more confused, “[Beloved! Who is this… person?]” he had asked, making her look to Tali.
“[Beloved?]” Nammu had asked of her, “[We can’t all stay single forever, he’s going to be my husband.]” Tali had said before looking towards him, “[Jaoc, this is my cousin, Nammu, from my Atlantean Uncle.]” she had said towards him, making him sneer at that, “[And why is she here?]” he had asked of her, making Tali turn to her, just as curious right about now.
“[The Atlantean Government worries about Naga The Immortal, long may he reign.]” she had said and they repeated like always, “[The one called Opistho wanted me to act as their translator, in case Naga wished to join the war.]” she had said, but Tali had noticed how she had seemed to be leaving something out, “[But…?]” she had asked, making Nammu sigh as she had rubbed her stomach.
“[I was put through something painful, and… and beautiful… and I had my revenge, and now I just want to be away from… from all of that.]” she had said, getting upset as she had recalled Magni and Modi, as Tali had looked at her cousin, seen her expressions, the woman patted her shoulder, “[You always have a home here, cousin.]” she had said, making Nammu smile while thinking on what she would do.

8/4/1943, Dymhurst, England
Namor had been walking through everything that was there when he had noticed that there was some strange comics that were there which had made the prince curious as he had went and picked it up and was a bit curious, “What’s a Captain America?” he had asked, making Robbie and Montgomery who had been walking as well had noticed that there was the comic.
“Looks like an American Union Jack.” Montgomery had said towards him, making Namor look towards him, “What’s a Union Jack?” he had asked, making the two of them point towards the flag before Montgomery had spoken, “It was also my Cipher–Code back during The Great War, I was a member of The Freedom’s Five.” he had said, making two of them nod at that as they looked at it.
They had seen that there was a origin story on it, revealing that there was a version of Erskine with a different name and a small blonde boy that had been affected before he had appeared now more as a warrior, making Namor curious as Robbie spoke, “Is this fact or fiction?” he had asked, making them nod at that as Namor spoke, “If we can make more like them–” “Not likely.” Montgomery had said.
“It appears that the project is no longer viable with The Doctor’s Death.” he had said and hearing that, Namor had sighed, disliking that and a few other things as he had looked back at Montgomery, “Any reports about Jacqueline yet?” Robbie had asked and hearing that, they had looked at each other before Montgomery spoke, “No, I receive updates from my brother, but otherwise nothing.” he had said.
That had made them all curious before Namor had spoken, thinking, “Do you know a Romulus or a Pluto?” he had asked, making Montgomery look towards him in confusion, “Romulus and Pluto? Why?” he had asked of Namor and Robbie who had decided now was a good time to talk, “John met them in Casablanca, he said that they were spies in The German and Italian governments.”
That had made the Englishman pause, looking towards him, “I never heard of them in any rings.” he had said, making the group look at each other before they had started to wonder, “Anything in the reports?” Robbie had asked and hearing that, Montgomery had thought about that before he had spoken, “I think we better go and look in John’s closet.” he had told them.

8/4/1943, Hidden Pond, New Canaan
The young girl had been looking around, cautious as it were before she had went and taken her clothes off, a bathing suit underneath as The young girl had taken a deep breath as she had went and looked around before the girl had went and taken her socks off, smiling as she had went and started to fly, going and landing into the water with a laugh and with some joy.
Cass had went and started to laugh, enjoying the water and the freedom being all alone when she had noticed that there was something strange, she had felt that someone was watching her, so Cass had turned to look, and she had seen that there was someone there, a boy that had eyes as dark as a night sky, hair as white as winter with ears like hers, “Hello?” she had said towards him.
But the person had vanished, almost as if they had never been there, curious, the girl had went and landed, looking around as she had went and seen that there was a gift, making her smile as Cass picked it up and looked, seeing it was a medallion which had made Cass smile as she had went and put it on, thinking that it was nice and unaware what it was she had picked up.

8/11/1943, McKenzie Lodgings, London
There was a knocking, a sound that had made the sleeping Namor groan as he had looked around and seeing the woman that he had found last night was groaning like him, making the Atlantean sigh as he had went and started to get up, going and walking towards the door as it had continued to knock, “I’m coming! Hold your–!” he had started to say when there was a noise now.
As he had opened the door, Namor had been surprised to see that it was Maximus and Montgomery who had looked at him with a very angry expression, “We need to talk, in private.” he had told him as the two– three, had entered as Zarda had seen the woman that was there, “McKenzie…?” the woman had asked before she had seen that there was Zarda, Maximus and Montgomery there.
“I’m sorry doll, but it looks like we’ve got something happening now.” he had told her, making the girl there smile as she had nervously gathered her things, “That was… nice, McKenzie.” she had told him before going to the bathroom, making Zarda smile while Montgomery had cracked his neck, “Were you careful?” he had asked concerning her, making Namor raise an eyebrow at that.
“I’ve been betrayed, I’ve been careful since I was sixteen.” he had told them before looking, “So what’s going on?” he had asked, making the Falsworth look to him, “Romulus and Pluto, they’re not on our side.” he had said, making the Atlantean react, standing straighter now as he looked at them, “Is he a traitor?” he had asked, making the Falsworth go and sit in one of the few chairs there.
“I don’t know.” he had said to them, taking a deep breath right now, “My brother has been a member of British Intelligence since The Great War, there’s no telling what he could be a part of.” he had told them, making the others think, “So we watch him.” Zarda said, “See if he is still friend, or if he’s a traitor.” she had said, making Maximus speak, “Not me, he’ll assume I’m looking into his thoughts.” he said.
Hearing that, the others nodded before Namor spoke, “I’ll go first.” he had said, making the others look, “He likes me more than you all, and I’ve never portrayed myself as anything other than anyone angry and violent.” he had said and hearing that, they had started to think before Montgomery had pulled out a file, “Here’s his latest location.” Montgomery had said, “How will we maintain communication?” Zarda asked.
Hearing that, Maximus had pulled out a small circular device, “We only have two of these, Triton has the other.” he had said, making Montgomery look towards him with curiosity, “The materials are impossible to find anywhere else.” he had said, making them all think on how they made it in the first place before Namor had taken a breath, “Okay, let’s gland keep an eye on him.” he said before going to prepare.

10/25/1943, Azzano, Italy
Namor had come in, looking around at everything and as he had done so, the Atlantean had noticed that there was a lot of damage around there, making the Atlantean a bit curious when he had noticed that there was John, looking very pale and very hurt as he and some of the others had went and started to see him, “Namor!” John had shouted, waving towards him now.
The Atlantean had approached now, looking around, “What happened?” he had asked, making the man sigh at that as he had looked around at everything, “We were attacked by The Nazi Science Division, Hydra.” he had said, “They came and–” “Where’s Jacqueline?” he had asked, making John take a breath at that, “Baron Blood, he took her.” he said, enraging Namor so much, he didn’t see The Vampire’s smirk.
