Thread: Ruin And Rebirth (Mech Pilot and darkangel76)

Six watched as the girl clumsily handled the gun, and it didn't take long for him to reach the conclusion that, on her own, in that it would take some time for her to really have an idea of how to use the killing tool properly. It mattered little, though. They would be together for a while and in that alone should keep her as safe as she could be outside the walls of her city, or maybe even more. Afterwards, he would leave her at her camp, which should be safe enough as well. If she couldn't get used to it at all by then, she could just give it to her tall, strong built friend named Harry, and the weapon would probably serve its purpose in his hands. If she did manage to grow used to the gun, she could just keep it and use it for her own protection. She certainly needed it, as far as the hybrid could evaluate her survival and fighting skills. She promised to try, though, and that was all he was expecting for now. Trying your best is good enough. More than anyone can ask of you. - assured him, with a smile. He was sure, trying her best was a lot more than anyone else will do to another person, nowadays - And yeah, with all due respect, I seriously doubt you're any threat to anyone with that little knife, unless you're facing a very, very threadbare rope. - he jokingly added. - But like I said. Trying your best is good enough. The hybrid watched as the jeep slowly backed up, then turned, facing the oposite direction, and sped away from them. That was certainly a view that should fill the heart of his new found partner with grief and doubts, but for now, there was nothing they could do about it, but to move on. Six planned to help her at least a little, by bringing her back home with another water source for herself and her town, which should do some good about her image and the blame they were casting on her. That was about all he could do to help her situation there. As soon as the jeep was out of their field of view, its noise vanishing from his very deep, acue hearing, the male turned to Cordy, in a very casual fashion. We should be going as well. We have a lot of time ahead of us, but we can't be sure how long it will take to find water. So we better get to it. - And finishing the sentence, Six pushed the shades back with his index finger and threw his leg to the other side of the bike, turning it on. The engine flared to life with its very distinctive rattle. - Hop on As soon as Six felt Cordy straddle on the bike, he just gave her enough time to adjust and and hold on to him, and then got on his way, quickly gaining speed. She said to head north, as there used to be farms up there, so that was the way he decided to follow. The young man watched as the speedometer pointer danced on its way forward almost reaching 100 mph. He could feel the wind on his hair and body, one of the sensations he liked the most. Riding a bike was one of his favourite things ever since leaving the pod. Especially at high speeds. It was something akin to flying, one of the few things he couldn't achieve by himself. It was fast, but very manoeuvrable, dangerous but so much fun. Simply breathtaking. The roads there were very large and spacious, but filled with debries and abandoned cars, which made the ride a lot more interesting in his opinion. He had fun dodging obstacle after obstacle, always requiring more and more from the incredible machine he was controlling. The motorcycle danced around in the road, quickly making its way north, swaying left and right, jumping up and down when hitting little piles of debris, or road holes. It was so much fun, he almost forgot he wasn't alone anymore, completely oblivious by how she felt about his little adventure ride. He was almost reaching 100 mph when he noticed she might not like it as much as he did, and he swiftly reduced their speed, before turning his head back and adressing her. Sorry. I almost forgot I'm not alone. I find it so much fun, and I'm so used to it, it came to me naturally... - Six shouted, so he could be heard over the sound of the wind in their ears and the powerful engine beneath them. The hybrid would be able to easily hear any whisper from her, no matter how soft, but he knew very well that she lacked his inate abilities. - Do you mind the speed? - he asked?
