Gunner rapped on the door to ollie morales's office before pushing it open and letting himself inside. They had agreed to meet during Gunner's lunch hour, so the Head Ranger should expect his entrance. [break][break]

One arm curled around two paper takeaway bags from the local Unovan barbecue joint; in his other hand, he carried a cup tray with two coffees. His Umbreon, Laudine, followed at his heels. [break][break]

"Hey," Gunner greeted Ollie, nudging the door closed with his heel before striding across the room toward the desk. He set down the food and coffee on a bare space between Ollie's paperwork and other gadgets. "I got you some coffee. And this bag is yours, with your burger and fries." [break][break]

Commandeering the seat opposite Ollie's, Gunner grabbed the other takeaway bag. As he unwrapped his own meal, a pork belly egg sandwich and sweet potato fries, he asked, "So, did you get any leads?"

[attr="class","textbox"]

After his meeting with Thomas Benoit, Ollie was on edge. He hadn't been able to make contact with any of the people that he said that he would — all his texts to Eva Morales, PENELOPE LIVY, paxton concordas had gone unanswered.

[break][break] It was only willow atkins who responded to him, with a messy string of text that could only be attributed to Roman Maher stealing her phone.

[break][break] He was a nervous wreck. But Ollie, expert at masquerading his emotions, somehow found it in him to hold it together. He had to.

[break][break] But not even Caleb Harcourt had answered his texts yet. Or GIDEON GRAVES.

[break][break] He swallowed.

[break][break] When the door swung open, relief flashed bright in his eyes. Even though he knew Gunner Graves was around - because he'd answered his texts - it was still a relief to see the other man in person and in one piece. He sighed.

[break][break] "You're trying to butter me up with my favorite food," he said, cheeks puffing out slightly, before he smiled and immediately popped some fries into his mouth. He shook his head, with slight dejection. "Not really."

[break][break] "Thomas and I went to the border. We saw kyle lopez — at least we know they're not dead."

[break][break] Which seemed - given the way that both he and Gunner Graves had been in Kanto - the farthest thing from a comfort that Ollie could think of at the moment.

[attr="class","body"]

Gunner took a large bite from his sandwich and chewed as he listened to Ollie's update. He took the time to swallow and sip his coffee before replying, "Missing is better than dead, but not by much." [break][break]

Memories from the previous spring and summer flashed through his head. Not only had Team Rocket captured then-Councilwoman Elinor Anderson, but also annalise henderson and, later, Caleb Harcourt. Gunner had spent long nights looking for all of them, searching every inch of the region for clues as to their whereabouts. [break][break]

In the end, all three had been recovered, but the cost of imprisonment had been steep. At least, he assumed that much. [break][break]

"I just got back from checking Councilwoman Morningstar's hotel room," he said. "There weren't any signs of a fight or resistance of any kind."

[break][break] He swallowed around a bite of burger, trying to ignore the shiver of dread that came with such a thought.

[break][break] Memories of the conversation he'd shared with PENELOPE LIVY in that hospital room came to mind, the dream — no, the nightmare that she'd shared of his early death.

[break][break] He took a sip of his drink.

[break][break] "Penny either," he said, with a shake of his head. "And Pax hasn't responded to any of my texts."

[break][break] Ollie sighs, brows furrowed together.

[break][break] "It better not be Rocket. Not again."

Gunner rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling the start of a headache forming between his eyes. "I had noticed Miss Livy wasn't in the office. If she's not answering even your texts, then that's definitely concerning." [break][break]

He tried not to make a habit of prying into his boss' private life or free time. PENELOPE LIVY could go wherever she wanted without him keeping close tabs on her, and she could talk with whomever she wanted, too. [break][break]

Gunner knew about her close relationship with ollie morales—or, at least, he suspected it. But he'd never bothered asking about it. [break][break]

"If Team Rocket are the culprits, then they're going to have a difficult time keeping the Avatar of Chi-Yu under lock and key," he said, hoping to sound reassuring and confident. "We can count on her to escape with the others, though that shouldn't mean we should stop looking."

[attr="class","textbox"] 'If she's not answering even your texts, then that's definitely concerning.'

[break][break] A flush crawled up his neck at the insinuation that Gunner Graves made, and Ollie couldn't help but let out a laugh out of discomfort.

[break][break] "Aw," he said, defaulting back into his usual teasing demeanor. "Are you saying that I'm special to her?"

[break][break] He tried to keep his tone light, but it was no secret that Ollie had acted out of pocket at the League Party. Though, he was pretty sure that what had happened on the balcony that night had been left out of prying eyes.

[break][break] "I'm flattered, but I think she's ghosted me more on texts than she would you or Pax."

[break][break] After all, no matter how much had already changed, there was one fundamental truth about PENELOPE LIVY that remained true. Work would always come first to her, with or without Ollie in her life.

[break][break] Back when they'd bene dating in their younger years, this was a fact that had frustrated him. But the Head Ranger had long since come to terms with the hierarchy of importance in Penny's life. Or at least, that's what he tried to tell himself.

[break][break] Ollie stuffed a hand into the nearby bag to pull out some more ketchup for their fries.

[break][break] "That helps," he says, biting into the golden goodness. "Thanks."

[break][break] "You - um - you fought them, right, with her before. Didn't you? I saw the news article."

[break][break] Fighting the other Ruinous Beasts back in Area Zero. Ollie repressed a shudder; he had already seen what Cillian Quinn was like, he didn't need to imagine what fighting two monsters were like.

[break][break] After a moment of pause, he confessed, almost guiltily, "You know, I don't know how you and Pax and Frey do it so well."

Gunner noted the reddening of Ollie's skin, the awkward laugh, and the deflection but said nothing. Instead, he munched on his sandwich in silence until the other man brought up the battle in the Great Chasm. [break][break]

"Yeah. Against Fiorelli and Cross." [break][break]

That was how the HBIC connected the dots between Wyndon Pharmaceuticals, jayden cross, and the Avatar of Chien-Pao. [break][break]

Ollie's soft confession prompted a raised eyebrow from Gunner. "Do what well?" the agent asked.

[break][break] Lips pressed into a thin line. The other members of the Ruinous Beast triad. Ollie would have to commit those names to memory if he even stood a chance at protecting PENELOPE LIVY from the thing that burned inside of her.

[break][break] He blinked at Gunner Graves's question, then looked sheepish.

[break][break] "Well. You know. Everything. War. Fighting. Dying."

[break][break] Ollie blew out a long sigh.

[break][break] "Sometimes it feels so overwhelming. I don't know how you and Pax make it look so easy."

[break][break] Well, he knew the real reason. Both had experience in war that he didn't, that he hadn't wanted because he'd been the one to run away.

[break][break] Ollie stuffed some more fries into his mouth as he contemplated how to word what he was feeling.

[break][break] "Sometimes I feel like I'm just living in someone else's dream."

[break][break] And it wouldn't have a problem, not really, cause it wasn't like Ollie needed to be in the spotlight, except —

[break][break] "And sometimes, I just want to wake up."

Gunner grew still as he listened to Ollie's confession. He waited until a break in his friend's thoughts before heaving a sigh and saying, "I'm only good at war because I chose it, Ollie. Not at first, but when war was forced upon me, I decided I couldn't look away." [break][break]

The agent knew he couldn't compare to paxton concordas, who had grown up in Kanto. A year spent living there as a foreigner was an experience that paled in comparison to having the comforts and joys of home ripped out from their hands. [break][break]

But when Gunner considered the life he could have had with the woman he'd loved, it all came down to the same thing, for him. [break][break]

"And if I don't fight well in the war, then do the people I care about really deserve me?" [break][break]

He thought about GIDEON GRAVES. About mila alexopoulos.

[attr="class","textbox"] Guilt washed through him like a storm.

[break][break] Caleb Harcourt, and how he'd abandoned him.

[break][break] Eva Morales, and how he's abandoned her.

[break][break] "That's good," he said, faking a smile. "I always knew you were that kind of person, bro."

[break][break] Ollie busies himself again by digging through the bag of fries, licking the salt off his hands when he's done with stuffing them into his mouth. He's not the most graceful of eaters, but he knows that someone like Gunner Graves wouldn't care.

[break][break] They're friends, of course.

[break][break] "You're right. We're going to fight in the war together — and protect the people that we care about."

[break][break] And they have to, there's no other choice.

[break][break] "Actually, speaking of that. There's been something on my mind lately that I've been wanting to speak to you about. Since we can't do much on the missing people front, at least for right now, we should least work on preparations to avoid it."

[break][break] It was something that he should've done earlier. Guilt, once again, gnawed at him as he remembered that if he'd done this maybe earlier, he could've prevented needless hurt from those like Caleb Harcourt or annalise henderson.

[break][break] "I need your help," he said honestly. "With the Amnesty Program."

The Amnesty Program. [break][break]

Gunner stiffened, his serious expression darkening with a thin-lipped frown. Though their conversation hadn't exactly been an enjoyable one up to that point, it was not about to improve. [break][break]

"I don't know how much of a help I can be about it," he said, his words sharper and more clipped than usual. He forced himself to eat some sweet potato fries before he could lose his appetite completely. "Are you having problems with it?" [break][break]

At his feet, his Umbreon raised her head as she sensed her trainer's growing irritation.

[attr="class","olliea"]

[attr="class","mmilkycredit"] [attr="class","fas fa-cookie-bite"]

[attr="class","textbox"] Ollie knew it would be an awkward conversation, one that he'd been avoiding for weeks now, but he thought about what he'd told annalise henderson about the Ranger Meetings. There was no running, not anymore.

[break][break] "Yes and no."

[break][break] He stabbed a fry into the ketchup, watching it bleed all over.

[break][break] "But I'm not asking you fix it, at least, not that way." His smile was wry. "I wouldn't do that to you."

[break][break] Much like paxton concordas, Ollie was sure that Gunner had some reservations about the program itself. He probably would've much liked to see the perpetrators behind bars.

[break][break] "But you know last year - all the problems we had with the kidnappings?" annalise henderson, Caleb Harcourt, Elise Calcifet, Elinor Anderson, to name a few. They were all Rangers. And most either were connected to the Amnesty Program directly, like Caleb, or somehow tied to Rocket in general, like Elise or Elinor. "We can't do anything about our missing people now, but we should do something to prevent it."

[break][break] "I was thinkin'... maybe there's a way we can up the security, or be better at shadowing the attendees in the program so they don't get ambushed."

[break][break] "What do you think?"

Chu-e Choi likes this

[attr="class","gunner3"]

[attr="class","body"]

Gunner tried to be patient with Ollie, but when the Head Ranger revealed his idea, the agent instantly hated it. [break][break]

"I'm not babysitting your defectors so they don't suffer the consequences of their own choices, Ollie," Gunner said, bristling. "It's bad enough we have to check on them like children who need reminders to do their homework or go to bed on time." [break][break]

The last person he'd had to perform check-ins on for the Amnesty Program was Chu-e Choi. Seeing the former Rocket's face every month had been too much. Too infuriating. And then he'd disappeared in between meetings. [break][break]

The League should have just executed Chu-e right away, in Gunner's opinion.

[attr="class","mmilkycredit"] [attr="class","fas fa-cookie-bite"]

[attr="class","textbox"] "They're not my defectors," he huffed in frustration, brought back to the memory of Greyson Connors declaring the very same thing, only weeks ago. "The program is one supported by dahlia goode, so that makes them the League's responsibility as much as the Rangers."

[break][break] The Amnesty Program from the Rangers was, perhaps, the most well-known because of the various media coverage and the longevity of the program, but certainly not the only program to exist.

[break][break] "And I'm not saying you would have to babysit them," he adds, this time his expression growing more contemplative than it did frustrated. "But it causes more problems for the League when they're targeted by Rocket. You know that."

[break][break] Even when the League didn't want to expend resources to save them, it ended up becoming an even larger issue when those people weren't supported. The loud voices of successful defectors like Isaac Merlo and Remiel Calcifet were just one reason, the fact that League agents like annalise henderson or Elise Calcifet were kidnapped was another.

[break][break] "What happens with the Amnesty Program reflects upon the League, whether we like it or not."

[break][break] Some might say they reflected upon dahlia goode herself.

[break][break] "I just want to figure out a way that we can all work together."

[break][break] "There must be something we can do," he stressed.

Gunner sighed. Not for the first time, he found himself frustrated by Ollie's naïveté. The Amnesty Program was a complex machine; therefore, it only possessed complex problems. To Gunner, it sounded like Ollie was looking for a simple solution. [break][break]

"Those problems are above my pay grade. If you want to look for solutions, talk to the Council. Talk to Miss Livy." [break][break]

After all, the HBIC's participation in the Amnesty Program came down to decisions made by its director. [break][break]

For a split-second, Gunner thought about not saying the following words, but anger and spite tempted them out. He could not help, also, that it was also a perfect opportunity to scold Ollie for his childishness. [break][break]

"And, you know, sometimes we don't all want to work together."
