BlackBetty got out of her car outside the building that would house a new family in Bella Vista, although with a heavy heart, considering the clean up was still going on around the recent deaths in the cities. This moment had been planned since the fall of LordBlackWod, she'd found someone to step up to the plate and help Bella Vista in it's time of need but as preparations were being made Betty learned of the deaths of Godfathers Tetley and Curtis and the ensuing chaos. Alas what she had hoped would be a grand celebration for her dear friend taking up the mantel of crewleader was overshadowed by a sombre mood. God Rest their Souls.

Nonetheless she wanted to mark the importance of the occasion for her newest auth. As she stood outside the building with her family, Betty smiles at crab and Weebl then turns to Blackbeard.

My dear Blackbeard. Your quirky personality warms the cockles of my heart and occasionally shivers me timbers! You've worked hard for me and shown your worth in bagfuls and for that I feel you deserve this chance to show what you are capable of by leading your own family. You have been a cherished friend to me throughout our history together and I would trust you with my life. I have every faith that you will help us rebuild Bella Vista and look forward to watching Philly grow stronger after all this tragedy.

Reaching into her pocket Betty lifts out the keys to the building and hands them to Blackbeard then embraces him then steps aside so he can launch his ship

Blackbeard stood behind BlackBetty and listened to her speak to the masses, he was extremely excited snd eager for her to finish her speech. After a few minutes and BlackBetty had stepped back to let him talk, a huge grin spread across his face. He stepped forward and began to address the crowd.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Firstly, thank you for all of you who have come tonight. Its means a lot to me, and I appreciate it! a great deal! Im going to keep it simple really, no long windedness! I cannot say how thankful I am that BlackBetty has chosen me to take up underneith her! I have worked my hardest and will continue to work hard for her, and do my very best! I am thankful that she has chose me, and I will not let her down! I am going to work hard and do my best, not just for BlackBetty and Bella Vista, but for Philly as a whole! I know that being a Family Leader isn't always the easiest and funnest thing to do, but its a responsibility I will take up and and do my best with!

So everyone, I'd like to introduce you all to Queen Anne's Revenge!

Again, thank you everyone for coming out tonight it has been a real pleasure but as you can imagine, I have a lot of people to meet and things to sort out! But for all who are sticking around, there's an open bar on me for anyone who would like a drink, or 15!

Blackbeard looks at BlackBetty and laughs Blackbeard waves to everyone and dashes off into his new Family HQ to begin sorting things out.

Britney walks down the streets and suddenly hears some commotion going on, she decided to go check it out. Approaching the crowd she sees Godmother Blackbetty introducing her newest crewleader. She saw Blackbeard standing up in front of the masses with her, Britney chuckled, she liked pirates. After Betty finished speaking she went over to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on the HQ, Blackbeard. Wish you the best of luck."

Britney smiled, shook his hand and walked away. When she was just out of hearing distance she quietly did a pirate ARGH to herself. She busted out laughing... "Pirates"

Misti sees the commotion and realizes the importance of the moment for Blackbeard.  He orders 2 of the biggest beers that the bartender can pour him since he hears the alcohol is free and raises both in the air.

"Congratulations Sir!! Much respect to yourself and the rest of your crew in Bella Vista.  I am sure that you will do a fabulous job!!"

Misti raises the first beer in the air before he puts the entire thing down his gullet.

Tony Capazzo listens on as Godmother BlackBetty speaks to the crowd. Another leader is getting the authorization to set up in Philly. Tony stands and smiles happily that Philly continues in their rebuilding efforts. After a few words from the Godmother the new Don steps up and speaks as well. Tony listens as Don Blackbeard declares Queen Anne's Revenge! as the newest Philly crew. Once Blackbeard is done Tony applauds at the speech. After Britney-Spears finishes her congratulatory words Tony steps forward and removes his lime green ribboned fedora to do the same.

"Don Blackbeard, congratulations on the new headquarters in Bella Vista. I wish you the best of luck and may you be prosperous and continue to help the Bella Vista and Philly as a whole. We've never really spoken however I know Godmother BlackBetty would have picked someone very deserving and hard working so kudos to you on that. Once again congratulations to you and Queen Anne's Revenge!"

Tony leans over and shakes the hand of Don Blackbeard. He then pulls out an envelope and slips it into the pocket of Blackbeard. Tony nods and smiles then takes a step back to give someone else a chance to give their praises of Philly's newest Don.

Strolling leisurely into Bella Vista he sees quite the commotion going on with many "Yarrs" and "Shiver me timbers" meaning only one person could be around,  He spots Blackbeard and decides to approach his good friend.

My father always spoke very highly of you and while my father was probably of some other life form he said you 2 got along fabulously and I can see why.  I know you will bring Bella Vista back to its former glory and strength, also thanks for being an awesome friend and having my dads back.

Shakes his hand and gives him a friendly hug and heads out leaving PH

It was a celebration and Janky was having himself a night on the town. The young beat had made leaps and bounds within the Philly infrastructure. Just yesterday he was only an associate, now he'd been given the oppurtunity to serve as a hand for a new crew in his city. Inebriated already, Jank made his way to the celebration. Wandering up to his new boss and shaking his hand.

Congratulations my good sir and thank you so much for the oppurtunity to prove myself! Our bloodlines have known each other for quite some time and the entries of the good times shared between our ancestors dates way back. So my pirate friend, here's to writing future good times. 

Jank whips out the flask from his pocket and gives a salute before taking a giant swig and heading towards the open bar.

The crowd had gathered around the river to welcome old Blackbeard himself into the bold.  Everyone looked merry and joyous after the past few days of fighting and hardship.  The sun was out, the winds fair, and the spirits strong.  The people of Philadelphia would rebuild, and they would prosper once again.  Jankyyy was about to turn to leave towards the bar when a Black Ship was spotted on the horizon.

Atop the deck was Life.  The sails were set at full sail and Life was steering the ship down the river madly.  The fresh black paint covered the entire shop from mast tip to hull bottom.  Everything from the wheel to the cannons was soulless black.  Life spun the wheel with a violent flick of his wrist and the ship turned to port right next to the crowd, towering over.

"No need to leave.  Here is our ship my captain!" Life exclaimed from the deck, jumping over rail to greet Blackbeard.  They embraced each other in a command handshake and turned to look at the mighty beast of a ship, The Queen Anne's Revenge!

"Yes, sir. I know who Georgie Mitchell is. Yes, the FBN officer and no, I do not want to lose my job." the cop had replied when Weebl had told him what would happen if the poor man didn't mind his own business. It was his business really when Bob had parked the truck against that lamppost. The smell of alcohol just made the case of the copper stronger, but he had moved along anyway. 

"You see now, Bob?" Weebl asked. "You should have let one of the boys drive. Or drink. But don't take responsibility for both, cause that creates irresponsibility. By the way, did the rum taste good? We can't bring crappy booze to Blackbeard's headquarters."

Bob just nodded as he tried to focus on his driving. By the time Bob brought the truck to stop in front of Blackbeard's new headquarters, it was sheer luck and the reaction speed of a dog that they hadn't hit anything else. When Weebl jumped out and opened up the back of the truck the aroma of rum came towards him together with the swearing of Fips and LouisGato, who were seated on a wooden bench during the bumpy ride.

"I'm sorry you had to sit in the back, friends. Some of our more luxurious rides are still at the garage to fill those bullet holes from the recent war. Come on, let's go inside and find Blackbeard. Some associates should be here soon to bring the rum around the back."

Weebl rolled in, followed by Fips, Louis and Bob. The latter moved straight to kitchen attracted to the smell of freshly baked pie's. The others quickly found Blackbeard and Weebl was the first to shake his hand and congratulate him on this fine step in his career.

"Well done, Blackbeard. I've seen you move up in our district's operations quickly and have seen you perform real good in your career so far. I've come to appreciate your joyful character and I'm confident that you will do very well in this new position. I'm happy to have you as an addition to our lovely district. By now some of my associates will be bringing some barrels with fine cuban rum in to your headquarters as a gift for this occasion. There's no greater gift for a pirate then some good rum. Bob already tested some for you and he approved! It might mean I come over once in a while though to join you for a drink, under the excuse of business talks ofcourse."

Weebl turned towards Mr. McDankyy and wished him all the best in his new role and after exchanging some memories from their time together in The Explorers Club, Weebl peeked around the stylish chambers of the Queen Anne's Revenge!

Stretching off the cramp in his neck, Louis stepped through the door after Fips to see Weebl congratulating Blackbeard. He marveled at all the friends, associates and business acquaintances that had turned out for such an occasion. Greeting Blackbeard, he smiled broadly at the man, a smile he literally could not contain. The two embraced and Louis shook his hand firmly.

"Signore, nothing helps me sleep better than knowing it is you and your soldatos that now work alongside us in Bella Vista. Saltare I fossi per il lungo, this is an endeavor I'm sure you'll fall into with ease."

Embracing one last time Louis steps back and allows his hand to find a drink, he spots JankyyMcDankyy and raises his glass to his old associate.

"Salut, paisan, and congratulazioni!" 

A little grumpy, hungover, and now also drunk, from the bottle of rum LouisGato and he had been hiding in the back of the truck, Fips jumped out of the truck, onto the ground. He pinched his eyes shut as the sun hit his face, and he took another sip of the now half-empty bottle. He complained loudly about heat, a headache, and the hunger he felt, to a seemingly indifferent LouisGato, as they walked the stairs to the building. He followed Weebl into the building; Blackbeard's brand new HQ. As Fips spotted Blackbeard, he smiled, and shook his hand excitedly.

"Many congratulations, Blackbeard. I don't know you well personally, but my friend Weebl here tells me you're a good guy. I look forward to seeing you run your own family, and it will be a pleasure working along side with you."

Fips raised his bottle of rum, and hicced up a toast;

"To Blackbeard, to Queen Anne's Revenge, to ... Hic!, and to the bright future of Philadelphia. Cheers!"

"Again ? Again ?, I told you to remind me" Shouted TLWolf at one of his guards, blaming him for forgetting to remind him of his schedule to go to Blackbeard HQ. " What were you thinking? Next time I will Shoot You, What would they think now?" Said TLWolf in anger. He is always late.

He Walked to his cabinet and took out his new custom made suit, he got it 2 weeks back but he had no chance to wear it till now but the occasion is worth it. He put on his suit and walked to another cupboard where he keeps some very old authentic guns, He picked a nice one to gift it to BlackBeard and left his house heading towards Blackbeard HQ.

As soon as he reaches there, he gets out of his car asking his guards to stay out, and told one of his associates to go in with him.

"Blackbeard, What a nice news. Congratulations. Bella Vista has definetley got a Fine Leader. Wish you all the Best " he then turns to his associate who immediately handed him a small box that TLWolf took and handed over to Blackbeard saying " Please accept this small gift, I hope you like it, My Old Man always says: May The Force be with you "

TLWolf then excuses himself and leaves the HQ.

The crowd of people cheering and drinking was a nice change since the more recent losses Philly had suffered. Now with the blood cleaned and most of the hatchets buried, once again the streets were bustling with activity and nowhere was this more apparent then at Blackbeards er.... Party.

Polo did not bother making his presence known, for it was customary of his office to send gifts and he knew just the thing to send Blackbeard.

With a smirk and a nod-like-a-proud-father, Polo walked away back to his office.

"Another great day for Philly," he said, under his breath.

Congratulations Blackbeard! I wish you the best of luck!  I know you will do many great things for the city of Philly!

Alice raises her toast. "Cheers!"  She takes a sip and walks back into the crowd. 

Watching over, he approached carefully he was yet another anonymous face in the new found home, but he could fit in, he had one of them faces he thought to himself.  Just like any other passing through.

Sipping the coffee, to clear his through he looked upward.

Congratulations on this reward i am sure will aide in the rapid rebuilding needed.

Nuzzling into the crowd, he faded from sight and thought
