Jun was up early and was in the shower when Ken got up and dressed. He went downstairs to the J and went over to get a cup of coffee from the pot. The coffee had just finished brewing. There was a knock on the door, and Ken turned and saw Joe went to open it.
"Ken, what are you doing here?" Ken smiled and went back to the counter.
"Fixing to have some coffee, and perhaps some breakfast." Joe narrowed his eyes at bit at Ken.
"Commander, you didn't?"
"What if I did? It's none of your business." Joe's temper began to rise.
"Watch it, Commander. I don't take crap off you. I am concerned about Jun." Ken drank from his cup, grabbing a danish from under the grass cover. Joe still stood there, his hands on his hips.
"You don't need to. I will take care of her. About time wouldn't you say? I have turned over a new leaf. Be a bit more like you, old friend." Joe started to reply when Jun appeared in the doorway.
"Joe, what are you doing here?"
"Coming to see you. Make sure you are alright." Joe came over and put his hand on her shoulder, and gave her a peek on the cheek.
"I am fine, Joe. Want some breakfast?" Joe nodded and watched Jun start putting together something, then Joe moved up next to her and began to help. He wanted something that was edible. Ken watched the two of them. His expresssion unreadable.
Jinpei came in with Ryu and he bounced over to the counter, sniffing the air. "Ah Joe is cooking. Can I have some?" Jun turned to him, and swatted him on the head.
"Hey, no fair." She said to him. Then watch Joe take over all the cooking. Oh well, she had tried. She went around the counter and sat down beside Ken. He reached over and goosed her. She jumped. Jinpei seeing it, jumped up and down, and yelled.
"Ken are you with Jun now? Cause if you're not, then you die for touching her." Ken turned to him, his blue eyes cool.
"Yeah, squirt I am. Happy about that?"
"You know it. I want, Jun to be happy. Finally came to your senses didn't you? Going to be my brother after all."
"Don't rush it yet, Jinpei."
Suddenly the birdscramble, and all of the group glanced at each other. Joe turned off the stove and all went running outside. A mission at last.

Joe was sitting in his chair watching Ken. He was cool and he wasn't saying much. But still something wasn't right. The mecha appeared, a peacock it looked like. Oh good, another bird. It began to shoot at them. Ryu moving to avoid the missiles, the ship answering his slightest touch.
"Jun, anything on a weakness with this one?" She was typing and reading at the same time. He sat there waiting.
"Yeah, between it's legs, is a spot, colored..red. If we can hit that we can take it out." Ken nodded.
"Can we go in, and have some fun first?" Ask Jinpei?
"I don't know. If we could do it quickly."
"How about we just use the bird missiles now? Ask Joe, and Ken turned to him, as Joe got up and smashed the cover and hand his hand on the firing button.
"I like that idea better. Go ahead Joe, do it. Fire missiles." Joe turned to Ken, and lifted his hand off and turned to him. He was in a fighting stance, Jun stood up wondering what was going on.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but...you...are...not...Ken." His voice like bullets.
"What are you talking about Joe?" He turned to her.
"It's not him. Not our Ken. Think about just now. Does he lead like Ken does? Does he act like him?"
"It's him, Joe." Joe looked sadly at her.
"I wish it were for your sake. But it's not." He turned to Ken and his fist struck knocking him against the wall. He grabbed him hitting him over and over. "You slept with Jun, I will kill you for that! No one hurts her, or takes advantage. Where is Ken? What did you do with him?" Ken stood there, mouth bleeding,he just smiled at them.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I am Ken. There is no other." Everyone heard it, and thought he meant Ken was dead. Jun started hitting him, and screaming at him. "Hey don't complain, you weren't complaining last night. Better than your Ken would be. He's probably gay." Joe grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off his feet.
A slight snick sounded and Joe dropped Ken to the floor dead. He stood over him, and turned to Jun, and hugged her. "I am sorry Jun. We will find Ken, I promise."
Meanwhile Ken was watching a movie...a Jun and Ken do it, movie. He was now chained and strapped to a dentist chair, and his head was strapped in place. The movie played and he cried.
