The Senshi were on the side of the Light. Whipping them into shape was a priority.
Ami's mother agreed, tsking at the number of near-death occasions that had befallen Sailor Mercury, not to mention the actual times she had died or had various items of tacky jewelry pulled out of her body. Maybe if Ami worked on her physical aspects, she could avoid at least some of these occasions.
Usagi's mother agreed. It was obvious that Usagi paid no attention to her. All she was was the mother who had been lied to and ignored. If Usagi could learn discipline maybe she could get her grades up too. How was she supposed to rule a future kingdom when she couldn't even pass a kanji test?!
Grandfather Hino agreed. Unsurprisingly, he echoed the statements of Ami's mother - mainly because Ami's mother was indeed an utter babe. Obviously Rei needed an older woman's influence and he'd indulged her wild spirit a bit too much. (Rei spoiled this observation by falling off the couch laughing until the various stares got her back to cringing.)
Everyone agreed that Makoto living alone they way she had, with nobody adult to talk to - obviously a big problem.
Minako's father had arrived late and was still staring at the collected evidence and unsure what to do about it. Other than not tell his wife who would simply yell a lot.
The various Inner Senshi, however, were sitting on the couch. If Usagi or Ami could have shrunk to two inches tall and hidden behind a pillow - they would have. The others weren't much better.
SMASH! "Heralded by a new age, we... SHIT!" CRASH!
"These two are friends of yours?" Ami's mother asked. "I hope they're going to pay for that window."
"Damn, I never get glass cuts in Senshi mode," said Haruka as she picked glass out of her suit. Then stared at the big red stain on one of the pieces.
Michiru's eyes got wide as she let go of the rope she'd swung in on, but her high heel got stuck in the loop of rope she'd used as a foothold. "Eeeeek OUCH!" THWAM!
"That never happens when she's Sailor Neptune," explained Usagi.
"I'll get the medical kit," said Ami's mother with a sigh. "Those glass cuts are going to need sutures."
Ikuko Tsukino looked at all this, at the blood from broken glass, and then at Arkangel. "Arkangel-san? When did you say you could start?"
"Sorry, the elevator got stuck and then Setsuna-mama broke a heel trying to run up the stairs," said Hotaru as she came in the door. "Uhm... I don't know any of these people and I must be in the wrong apartment. Bye!"
"Just a moment, Hotaru-chan," said Ami's mother. "I think you ought to be present for this as well."
Setsuna came limping in a few minutes later. She turned out to have sprained her ankle.
Ami's mother finished sewing up a laceration in Michiru's left arm. "Arkangel-san, maybe your martial arts training would help?"
"Just give me a chance to blast him!" grumbled Haruka.
"No!" cried Ami. "That's my father!"
There was a sudden silence so deep and profound that you could hear maniacal laughter and electrical crackling from Apartment 2-A in the building next door.
"...excuse me?" Setsuna asked as her ankle was being taped up.
"WHAT?!" was just about everyone else's reaction.
I'll try, though I admit this will be quite a challenge, said Arkangel.
