So, a bit of background.
This whole merging of the two families is not where I wanted this to go originally. It's not very exciting, but with Sid in a coma, my original idea for Weasel to be the secret leader of the Grey mice clan and for those two to have a fight in the Kamaitachi Building wasn't going to happen. Then Mika was going to confront him, and later when Taro started to fall for Ace, she would run away and live secretly with Momo hiding her out, and Sid would eventually find him again, adopting him into the family as well and then later dating/marrying Weasel to join the two families. But then Mookie and Ace came along and Weasel and Taro's relationship started to change.
Finally, with the last issue with Taro's big backstory reveal, Weasel's protective nature and the fact that every storyline involving Taro and the family have them just ADORING the kitty (I just noticed earlier the irony of a Cat being raised by Mice) it just plain didn't make sense anymore.
But the Hiroshima Virus? Now that's a cool leader! A sentient virus with a robot body? Very cool. It's not very actiony, so I apologize only for that, but honestly, there will be enough horrific badguys and action coming up soon enough. So be patient with me.
Besides, Weasel is such a liked character, I doubt Mika or Sid fighting him would go over well anymore. He's really matured from the manipulative, obsessive little shit he started out as. A girlfriend will do that for you, I s'pose.

@Kaeoz: I dunno, 13 is the age I first discovered girls.

Hal Hiroshima is Mika's Nephew-in-law because Mika's daughter Kyoko-chan is Taro's grandfather's daughter, making Kyoko Taro's aunt. So by adopting Taro, that makes Kyoko Hal's sister-in-law and therefor Mika is his aunt. In-law. At least I think so, it's the closest logical thing I can come up with.

That's a bit too much porn for Weasel to have on his computer, at least at his age. But then again, any time you do anything on the internet, you tend to have four or five porn pop ups appear out of nowhere.

Well that is interesting. Although I still think the whole Japanes saying 'Please treat me kindly' is stupid. But culture is culture.

Hmm, I already thought that was your original planning, so it is true that it changed when those chars got in the comic, I did indeed felt that things had changed. And.... Nephew in law? Is he actually related to Sid or something? Or am I forgetting something? And Alexdarkangel, I think thats a projector, not Hal.

Awesome.

Seeing Weez's desktop, I can hear an Avenue Q song in the background. There's no chance of Hal getting mad at Sid and going Skynet on him is there?

Heheh, noticed that, eh?He also belongs to several cosplay, anime and technology forums.

You can tell a lot about a person by what they look at online, and I'm pretty sure what the programs Weez has minimized on his computer say would give us an in-depth look into Weasel's mind. I'm also guessing his dad is enjoying being on that computer very much right now.
Author_Ninja at 10:17PM, April 25, 2010
He will. I predict the entire team will be showing off their fighting skills quite soon.

Open the pod bay doors Hal oh and I'd still like to see Weasel fight sometime

I just decided what Weasel's dad's name is. Hal.
