"No Ranma," Millia insisted, "I am not staying in the car. If your... these people jump to conclusions or anything else happens, I want to be there to back you up. I'm not helpless." Her blond hair flexed to demonstrate.
Before his kidnapping Ranma's mouth might have shot off at this. However since then a lot of his brashness had been erroded and his tutorage by the X-Men had impressed him with a modecom of maturity. Besides, he'd seen her use her hair with lethal intent on Sinister's guards. "Hey, I know that," he agreed and surrendered. "Alright. Just try not to kill anyone, okay." He smiled to show it was a joke.
"I will try not to," Millia promised seriously and looked out the window as the car slowed to a hault. "Are you sure this is a good place to meet?"
Ranma looked over the park. "Yeah. If there is an ambush, there's plenty of room to maneouver.""My power works best up close and personal," a worried Millia countered as they emerged from the vehicle. "Besides this is a good place for an ambush."
"That works both ways," Ranma said and glanced at a few trees and nodded. "Our minders are already in place, though Yashida-sama promised they'll stay hidden unless it's certain I ...we... can't handle it." The ninja in the indicated trees might have frozen in shock at being spotted, if they weren't already as still as rocks.
Ranma sighed as the rendez-vous spot came closer. He could only hope that only Nabiki and his mom showed up as promised. Otherwise he was Doomed.
