Hacker Girl

"i'll be fine,last thing i need is you lurking around while i'm busy.i've survived thus far,so leave well enough alone."she said and got up,and begun setting up her monitors again.

Leo sighed. "They know where you are the logical thing would be to move to another location. They left their truck and the keys. It would be easier but if that is what you want I'll go. But I'm never to far away if you need help" he said walking for the door

"....where is this place you speak of.."she brought up not looking at him in any way as she was more incline to fix wires and such."......would you promise me absolute privacy?"

"I would have to show you where it is for you to find it. And I can promise no one will disturb you. The place is secret and I will guard you myself." He said lookin to her. He was just at the door

"...thats kind to offer,but i don't need protection.i'll take everything else but i won't need that,unless you wanna waste your time."she said and got up.

Nothin is a waste of time if you put your heart and mind into something" he said. "I'll go get the truck ready"

She couldn't help but roll her eyes immensely. Not wanting such help,but wanted the secluded privacy,for her to focus.all she hoped is that he wouldn't next question her eating habits and try to change those."..."As she went and put her meager bits of belongings in a packsack and putting it over her shoulder.

Leo started the truck. "You ready to go?" He shouted. Waiting in the truck. He took this time to think. 'I figure she won't like me around but some guys that go there aren't really trustworthy.' He thought. 'I will guard her'

She ran over and tossed her baggage in,as small as it was and got in herself and huffed a bit."don't rush me..yes,lets go!."she said and looked ahead.

"Wasn't rushing you" he said driving out of the alley. "So what's your story? Why do you love out here?" He asked out of curiosity

"..it was cheap to buy.anything to save my funds...had to move out of my parent's home as well,as i didn't want to follow the business they run."she said and glanced to leo quickly.

"Something tells me I don't wanna know what their business is" he said. "My guess is it's relating to what your up to now?"

"..somewhat,not too directly.like i mentioned,i was raised by masters of combat,so clearly from such relations."she said and yawned a bit looking out the side window.

Leo nodded. Turning into an alley with a dead end. "We're here" he said getting out and going to the wall. Knocking on it. "By the lions roar" the wall opened up and a hedgehog stood waiting for them

"Leo I got your message. Her room is set up near yours." Said the hedgehog

"Thanks niles" he said "can you put the truck into the garage for me I want to tinker with it later"

"Alright."

Leo looked to vi. "Follow me" he said walking in. Inside it looke a lot like a fight club. With a bar not far from the ring imbedded in the center of the large cavelike room

She got out and walked,kinda a strange place to her but she didn't seem bothered. She looked around the place upon entering keeping thoughts to herself."..this looks like a bar not a hideout."she couldn't help but comment. Letting out a sigh she just stood and took in her surroundings."But i suppose i can't complain. As much as i want to."

"I host underground tournaments here. No one now's about this place bu the contenders niles and myself. And now you." Leo said leading her to her room. "Here you won't be disturbed. Even during my tournaments, the las and doors are sound proof to the extent of this hall here. Theirs a bed and bathroom and a place for all your tech. If you need anything ask Nile or me"

"..thats kind of you."she set her baggage down on the floor in the room and checked it out walking more in."tournaments though.you like fighting so much you have an establishment just for?"

"On occation. This is a place where many come in secret to fight without the government and bounty hunters breathing down their necks. For a little relaxation and fun. Also this use to belong to my father" he said leaning against the door frame.

"oh,...not my place but what killed your family off?"she asked,not caring if she got an answer or not as she opened her bag and looked inside.

"The government set ghost agents into my house during my birthday. My mother hid me away in the basement as the agents killed everyone in the house. Then blew up the house causing it to fall on top of me. I survived because of my fire powers. But that was eight years ago" he said looking to the floor.

"...thats sad."she was crouched down as she just rested her hands from pulling items of clothing out and looked to him."...least you know they loved you.but,nothing could simply replace that i know..."she said then resumed picking out and folding them all.

"I'm guessing yours weren't loving?" He asked. Looking up and at her from where he was standing.

"not my biological ones anyway..i grew to love the people who actually raised me..and that was from 5 years old and on,i was only abused before..gone hungry,punished unfairly..beaten for childish mistakes.. never had a solid home though.was constantly moving around so i never usually pack more than i can carry."she said and took the pile of folded clothes and put them away."...i don't regret it."

"You said you were raised by a master weapon specialist right? What was that like?" He asked. He smiled they were learning about eachother. This interested him, he wondered what else he could do.

"that is who i considered my father to this day~ a true man who actually cared...taught me so much i could make the most dazzling weapons by design.and useable..it also helped,with my natural abilities he was able to teach me how to use them right and well...after he couldn't make more weapons himself i'd help him out...he shared with me something i promised to keep to myself,so ends i explaination."she said and picked up the nearly empty bag.
