Thread: The Fate of the world is in our hands (Max and I)

Before Evelynn could speak, Lucia just grinned and cocked her head to the side. What if we did? What's in it for us? She asked the guards, who really didn't take too kindly to that question. Umm, don't mind her. We haven't seen him. Evelynn interrupted, glaring at the red head. Suddenly a female soldier walked up to the two of them, a look of disdain on her face. If you know something, you better tell us. You may live by your own rules outside of our walls, but here you will follow our rules and tell us what you know. She threatened as she placed her hand on her hip, close to the gun that was holstered at her hip. Lucia's grin never left her face, even with this intimidating woman barking at her and drawing attention to them. Evelynn just sighed and attempted to speak, but Lucia just held her hand up. Don't get those panties in a bunch. My friend here speaks the truth. We haven't seen him, however... She paused and then winked at Evelynn, who just looked at her once again with confusion. She was going to get them jailed or something. If they drew too much attention to themselves, it could be bad. Especially because they were from the settlement. Evelynn was sure that nomads hated them, and even more so if they found out those two had willingly left the comfort of their defenses. I can find him for you. If I do, promise me a weapon and a change of clothes. Lucia! Evelynn cried out in disbelief. Did she really have to stick her nose where it didn't belong? She seriously needed to have a talk with her. The soldiers just looked at her with suspicion. She didn't mean that. We'll leave you to your jobs, and if we see anyone that matches that description, we'll let you know. Evelynn grabbed Lucia's arm and dragged her away towards an alley where they could talk alone. Hey, what's the big idea? I was trying to find a way to get me some clothes! Evelynn was really grating on Lucia's nerves right now. If she wouldn't help her she'd help herself, and if that meant selling her talents she'd do it. Look, we're not at EHS anymore. Those soldiers could shoot and kill us without hesitating if they thought we were lying or something. Or imprison us. They are the law here, and YOU are drawing attention to us. We're not like them. Especially you. If they notice that we're different, there is no telling how they'd react. But we're both stronger than them. Lucia protested as she started picking at her ear, trying to scratch a particular itch that plagued her that seemed to be caused by Evelynn's voice. Hell, I could probably wipe this place off the earth if I wanted to... Don't talk like that. I know I broke you out, but I'm watching you. If you become unstable and start changing, I will put you down. Evelynn's voice was serious as she stared at Lucia with a wary gaze. Lucia's blue eyes shifted and then suddenly she smirked. Do you think you're stronger than me, Officer Delicroix? I heard that once humans are reborn as hybrids, they are already twice as strong as bioengineered soldiers. Perhaps we need a demonstration... The two women stared each other down, the air around them stiff with tension. The only upper hand Evelynn had was experience, that much was true. However...she had stood against many demons that were stronger than her, and beat them with tactics and wit. That was why she was such a high ranking officer. Let's...just get you some clothes. I have money that I was saving for ammunition... She admitted with a defeated expression.
