Kadaj's bike roared as he rode through the streets of Midgar. The wind rushing past his ears, rain pelting his body. He skidded to a stop outside a long adandoned church, breaking in the door with a good kick, he stepped in, looking around the musty pews. Un-clipping his Souba, he laid it against a wall and walked through the building, running his fingers along the altar, the font. Finally, he reached the stairs. Jumping up them, he reached the top of the belltower in minutes, and crouched on it's ledge. Eyes roving over the city, lovingly.

"I have returned."

((Mun has returned. After much RL stuffs. Poke Kadaj?))

"Say it a little louder, little brother. I don't think they noticed two sectors away," Cloud said with an unseen roll of his eyes. He was perched up in the very top of the belltower, on the supports that held the half-rusted bell up. He had been brooding over the spectacular nonanswer from the planet after his trip to the Forgotten Capital.. but seeing the relatively sane version of Kadaj around, who had agreed to be a partner in the spook-hunt would work well enough.

Kadaj smirked into the rain. "Hello brother. Do you really think it wise? Who knows what unfriendly ears might hear."

Cloud snorted and shook his head-- either he'd lost what little touch he had for sarcasm, or Kadaj was simply too direct by nature to notice it. "Never mind.

"Where have you been all this time?"

The boy laughed.

"Working. Mother has been in great pain over those who wound the planet, even now. I've been trying to protect it. Though it's uphill work."

"Usually is," Cloud said before he hopped down to Kadaj's level, "If the right thing to do were the easy thing, I doubt half of us would be in this hero business at all."

Smiles. "I was not always in 'this hero business.' But yes, being the villain is much easier. I wonder why I stopped." Smirk.

"You mean besides the fact your mother would kick your ass?" Cloud asked, a faint smile curling his lips. "I dunno.. Most of the time being the villain seems.. hollow. What's the point of reaching the top at all costs when there's no one around even for a good 'I told you so?'"

"Yes, besides that." Kadaj grins. "That's is true. Though our goals were not so much to reach the top, as to get what we wanted."

Cloud nodded. "Mm.. and sometimes what we want isn't what we need, so then we're back to being hollow."

He ran a hand back through his spikes. "Have you heard any news about the spook?" Why no, Cloud never spoke of Jenova by name unless he absolutely had to. Superstitious, maybe, but a little superstition never killed anyone.

"You're right, there. I did not know Jenova was so purely...evil."

"Not since she appeared in the Nexus. I know she was staying with the other version of myself. What happened to him?"

"He's dead.. heart failure. Probably from all the geostigma he was carrying," Cloud said with a sigh. "His ghost's been hanging around at odd intervals. If he's ever back in the land of the living, I promised to go drinking with him at Trans."

It was getting a little easier to talk about all the weirdness that had become a fact of life since he'd started wandering around the Nexus. Not everyone gave him weird looks when he was honest about what he'd been up to, after all.

"It is the way of all things. Drinking, huh? I thought you were not on th best of terms?"

Kadaj's whole LIFE has been "weird" so, he's never had much trouble talking about it.

"Still most likely to kill each other," Cloud said cheerily. "But what's a few drinks between best enemies?"

Smirk. "Ah, I see."

Cloud snorted and looked out over the city, lapsing into thoughtful silence. He was and wasn't looking forward to the fight with the spook, for reasons even he hadn't quite mapped out completely. As if fighting could really be avoided in the first place.

It reminded him of AVALANCHE, when he and Tifa had been sitting there, staring at Meteor in the sky and wondering if the others would come back or not. All or not at all.

"You seem troubled, brother." Kadaj probes gently.

"It's normal before a major battle to be troubled. Only an idiot isn't," Cloud said, raising an eyebrow at Kadaj. "Or someome who doesn't have to worry about things like dying and failing and stuff."
