Lisa blushed. "I don't want to talk about it."
Her response caught Steve off guard. "What do you mean?"
"Can we just talk about something else, please." She responded quickly.
Her avoidance on the topic of her brother was making the shrunken man nervous. "Lisa...?"
The toy-sized warrior thought back to when she, her mother, and their captor briefly passed through the middle floor. How uneventful the trip had been until reaching the living room area. She could still hear the moaning, the sound of Bianca calling out Derek's name, how they all went wide-eyed from shock and instead took the long way around toward the basement.
"Lisa...?! Lisa?!" Steve snapped his daughter out of her stupor."
"Huh?" She blinked.
"Are you still with us?" The tiny scientist asked.
"Yeah. I'm still here." She responded.
"Good." Steve sighed. He felt somewhat relieved. "Now can you tell me what's going on with Derek?"
Lisa pursed her lips. "I would rather not. Maybe ask mom instead."
That wasn't what he wanted to hear but reluctantly relented. His eldest daughter clearly didn't want to talk about what she'd seen and that made him feel all the more nervous. Hopefully his son wasn't in any serious trouble otherwise he was certain that Lisa would've answered his question.
"I'm sorry." Lisa apologized.
"It's fine." Steve again sighed. "Let's just focus on right now. Well cross the bridge when we get to it."
His eldest nodded. "Right."
The giants eventually finished discussing whatever they were discussing and turned their attention back to the tinies.
Patricia was the first to speak up. "Alright everyone. It's time for a new game."
That didn't fill Steve with any sort of enthusiasm. "What new game?"
"A game as old as time itself." Nicole cut in.
She and Patricia spoke at the same time. "WAR!"
Steve and Lisa's eyes widened. "Oh no!"
The pair suddenly found themselves on the floor with the giants right behind them. Patricia was in Lisa's corner while Nicole was in Steve's. Their mother meanwhile lay at the edge of the bed recording with her phone. Each side had a fortress built of junk with a small pool of action figures acting as their soldiers. There were even one or two vehicles.
"I don't like this, Lisa." Steve called up to her. His fortress was an old He-Man castle with the walls outside consisting of dusty V/H/S tapes.
The giantess pouted. "That's General Lisa to you."
Lisa meanwhile....
"I'm not sure about this, Patricia." She spoke. Her fortress with the dollhouse from earlier, surrounded by a wall of stacked DVD cases.
Patricia coughed into her fist. "It's colonel, remember?"
Lisa rolled her eyes. "Sorry, Colonel Patricia."
The giantess smirked. "That's better."
Lisa slumped her shoulder's and whispered. "I hope Derek's doing alright."
"Let's get this war started." Nicole grinned toward the camera.
Patricia agreed. "First contact with the enemy in 3... 2... 1!"
"Fire!"
Her response caught Steve off guard. "What do you mean?"
"Can we just talk about something else, please." She responded quickly.
