Of course, Rally is lagging behind her hyperactive partner, her face somewhat pale. The older of the two Gunsmith Cats isn't feeling all too well.
As they were taking an escalator to the long underground tunnel between the international airport and to the baggage claim, May turned to her sluggish partner. Seeing that Rally was still sickly-looking, May decided to joke to get her friend back into higher spirits. "Wow, Rally, did giving your end away really take that much out of you?"
Rally, who was not in the best of moods, was easilly getting rather pissed off at her partner. "May, will you shut up... I'm sick..." Then under her breath, she muttered, "Last time I travel with you so you can see your pedo boyfriend Kenny..."
"Hmm... Maybe it's STD's?" May asked.
Groaning, Rally said, "Don't even jest. But damn, I need to see a doctor..."
As they came to the bottom of the escalator, Rally and May made their way thrpugh the underground tunnel. Rally, all the while, unaware of the alien life she had growing inside her...

Meanwhile, in Japan, Psylocke and Logan were sitting down at a table in the living room of the Tendo Dojo, with the Tendo patriarch sitting before them. They wanted their information and they didn't want to beat around the bush to get it. Fortunately, after Soun had calmed down, he was able to act as a somewhat respectable person.
"So, Logan-san, Braddock-san," Soun started, "What is it that brings you here to see me?"
"If it's not too much," Psylocke began, "Can you tell us what you know of your old training partner, Genma Saotome?"
"Like if the bub was into any sort of science?" Logan added. He took another sip of the tea. "Hmm... This is rather good. Your daughter makes an excellent cup of tea."
"Why, thank you. My daughter does work hard." Sighing, Soun said, "My friend Genma and I trained under Happosai for years. We suffered under that little troll until we were able to seal him away for good."
"Seal him away?" Logan asked.
"Ten sticks of dynamite, 40' deep chasm inside a mountain, and a huge, half-ton boulder to block the entrance." Soun explained rationally. He noticed that the woman's eye was twitching and Wolverine just nodded his head.
With a snort, Logan said, "That's good, but tell us what happened after. Where's Genma?"
"Well, afterwards, my friend and I made a pledge. That we would unite the houses by marrying our children to each other..."
Psylocke dropped her tea-cup, and even Logan raised an eyebrow to that. "Is something wrong?"
"Listen, Tendo... About an arranged marriage... Forget about it." Logan stated.
Soun sat up straight, defiant of the gaijin who could stand up to the master of Anything Goes. "And why should I?"
Before Psylocke could give a simple answer, Logan said, "You could, but I don't think you want your daughter raped."
"Excuse me!?" Soun said, wide-eyed.
Sighing at Wolverine'ss rather blunt nature, Psylocke explained, "Genma's son, Ranma Saotome, seems to be causing quite a bit of trouble with the opposite sex. However, we have reason to believe that this is somehow his father's fault."
"We'd appreciate anything you can tell us about the bum and his bastard." Logan said. Who Logan was calling the 'bum' and who was the 'bastard' in the case of Ranma and Genma could be interchangable in the adimantium-laced warrior's eyes.
Soun's left eye twitched once, then twice, and then Soun fell over onto his right side.
"Well," Psylocke said, "I think that went well..."
Logan just snorted in disgust. It was then that Kasumi walked back in. "Hello, I made small sandwiches and..." It was then she noticed the state her father was in. "Oh my..."
"We're sorry about this." Psylocke said, trying to be hospitable. "We just need to stay around a bit longer for your father to answer our questions."
"A, all right..." Kasumi said. She held up the tray towards her. "Would you like a small sandwich?"
