City's road network

"Then I guess we better get going right now. So are you taking her, or are you letting 'Skinny' do the job?" Said Radiant as he opened my door.

"Well the choice is not mine or yours... its Katsa's... she putting her life on the line if she lets you carry her around, but to be honest I don't mind really." said John and i grinned at him.

I nodded at John "I like you, i think we will keep you, hehehehe. Either way, one of you pick me up or i might starting walking there on my own." I turned my grin to John "You know, for a man I've only met in passing, I feel like i know you very well. Your face is like a book flicking though the pages really fast. Emotions flicker over you face unbidden contently."i said. John flinched slightly when i said that and my grin faded a little. sorry, i didn't mean to offend you I held up my arms "now who's going to pick up this dashing lady in the back seat?

Now that Katsa started speaking again, I finally found out we didn't really know each other at all... "met in passing" oh darn it... I got myself in whole lot of trouble for someone I "met in passing"... if they find out I used to be resistance...I flinched a bit at that thought totally missing what Katsa said. At the moment I'm not sure which way to go I don't know their plans, their goals, their Ideals, how far they are willing to go to get it... She started to apologize now, darn it I wish I payed a bit more attention. "Its ok..." Is all I could say. Now I knew what kind of mess I was in I found the best way to survive, if only for a short bit to carry Katsa. If things go bad, they wouldn't shoot... right? "I've always wanted to rescue a dashing lady in distress, and even if we let skinny do it he'd be begging me to carry you after a foot or two." I couldn't let them know I was slightly starting to panic, now could I? They would know something was wrong, and I doubt would stop at beating it out of me. Besides if they knew I was panicking I would only make it worse for myself.

I shook my head. "oh, stop teasing him. He's not skinny. i raised an eyebrow "It's not his fault that you are insanely huge. Anyway, if you don't mind i would rather Darious carry me, for no other reason then that, as a civilian i am surprised you got this far into the building with out any trouble. I find it hard to believe that you woulf get any further, even with your own, very helpful, escort. i said, nodding towards Darious. "Also, as i just said, I don't really know you that well and i don't make a practice of letting men i don't really know touch me. I grinned up at him. "shocking, i know, considering my warm and oh so fuzzy exterior.

I let Radiant pick me up, gasping slightly when my injuries jarred.

Katsa and John kept their conversation going, and Darius picked up the fact that even they didn't know each other that well. Maybe it was a mistake bringing him in here. Garage was no problem, but behind the restricted access door that stood between them and the rest of the HQ was a whole different story. That together with the fact John couldn't seem to get rid of his nervousness made the whole picture a little strange.

"Walking is out of the question, even with your personality. Now turn over a bit and let me help you out."

He didn't expect he felt happy Katsa chose him to carry her. Still, considering human nature it was only logical. But they didn't know each other all that long either.. right? Guess John really was the new guy around here then. Slowly he got her out of the car, carrying her in a more comfortable position this time, namely his arms.

"Now that you mention it, I don't know how security is gonna like the fact we're walking him inside. We could try, but I won't promise anything."

"Nah don't worry about it... I wouldn't want to get you two in trouble because of me, besides I only came to see if Katsa was ok. She seemed pretty banged up..." Ok take it nice and slowly you can walk out of here without a gun going off... "Even though he's a bit skinny I guess your in good hands. I'll buy you both a drink if you can still find your way to the bar after you've recovered." Ok now just wait till they are a few steps away untill you make a run for it... you can do this...

(Just something to add to my last post, I'm posting again to draw attention to it as editing doesn't always get noticed, Katsa and Radient You two may go berserk on me or anything you want, atm meeting gregory is my main goal, don't mind how I get to meet him besides once I'm inside I'll think of something to get out again ^^)

Once they did a step towards the door, I gained a bit confidence that I'd get out of here without any holes. With my confidence almost restored I remembered something, something why I was here in the first place. Mr Gregory... "Say... I don't supposed both of you know Gregory do you?" I left out both Mr and Dr, to see if there were more, just testing really. If they think nothing of it there most likely is only one of them, and there for the Mr was an accident. If they know two of them, well lets say thats highly unlikely.

Radiant stopped and turned slightly around. He was about to say something but i beat him to it.

Hanging my head back so that i could see him, I almost laughed because of how odd he looked upside down. "Do you mean 'Dr' Gregory? The insane scientist who finds it amusing to blow things up whether they belong to him or not.?" I said with a hint of amusement in my voice that was partly because of the odd angle at which i was having this conversation in and partly because i was remembering the time Dr Gregory blew up one of the other agents motorbikes because he "miss-calculated" the trajectory of his new rocket. Everyone knew that it was not an accident.
"if you do then yes i know him but know i have no idea where he his, sorry. Haven't seen him in a couple of days.

I lifted my head to look at Radiant. "can we go now? to many delays, not enough healing. i said in an irritated voice. finally i gave a huff, squirmed until Radiant put me down. I didn't think he realized that i was actually going to attempt the leave myself. I waved goodbye to the two men and hopped my way to the elevator. when the elevator opened there was a lower ranked arms-man in there who looked rather startled to see me (i'm thinking because i was covered in blood and hopping). I took advantage of his stunned silence to order him to help me to the infirmary. He looked like he was going to argue for a minute but i gave him a glare that would have frozen fire and he shut him mouth. I glanced at Radiant as he quickly said goodbye. Radiant turned and ran into the elevator giving me a glare of disapproval. The elevator doors shut and we where on our way.
