Finally you two stopped at a pair of rusty metal gates, definitely old. Behind the gate was the factory, looking disheveled and abandoned. Parts of it looking like an old barn instead of a factory, metal parts and scrapped metal where piled right outside of the building. A little bit further from the building was a upside down tank and other vehicles.

Looking towards him you feel pitty for him for living in such a horrible environment. Thinking back to the other lords and Mother Miranda, they all wore fancy and expensive looking clothes. Even the deformed creature known as Moreau had a pair of dress pants and a rather large suit jacket that covered the entirety of it's humped back, yes torn at the bottom but still dressed good. Comparing them all to Heisenberg, he really did look like the black sheep of the 'family'.

Maybe Lady Dimitrescu's treatment of him was a hint that he wasn't treated equally to the rest, especially since his domain was on the outskirts of the town.

Opening the gate he caught your pitty filled eyes and looked at you worried. Turning away you decided to change the conversation before it even began, "So... Why did you help me. Why did you save me?"

He thought for a moment and then just shrugged, "I don't know why but I wanted to. It could be because your extremely gorgeous or I'm just lonely."

A red blush popped into your face as you smiled and blushed, this was the first time a guy ever called you 'gorgeous'. Didn't help that you've never sat down to talk to a guy long enough for a compliment like that. You couldn't look at him, not with your blushing face. He chuckled at you and you told him, in a playful way, to shut up. His laughter continued as your face was still red as a tomato.

Instead of just standing there as he laughed in front of the open gates you decided to explore the grounds that's surrounded the factory. Definitely more of a scrap yard though. After a moment you heard his laughter die down and a massive slam of metal, looking back you saw that he slammed the gate. Not in an aggressive way but more of a careless/ carefree kind of way, he came to join you as you looked around.

After a brief moment of silence as you two looked at the half destroyed tank you decided to ask him: "Did you mean that? The thing about me being gorgeous?"

Heisenberg cracked a flirty smirk and rubbed his neck with this unarmed hand, "I say it like I see it."

For a brief moment your blush crept back onto your face, making him chuckle once more. For some reason you both loved and hated how he was easy to make you erupt into a blushing mess.

"Come on, let's head inside." He held out his hand and you took it without hesitation, leading you to the front doors of the so called 'factory'. On the wall. By the doors was a control panel with a big red button, he pressed the button and then the two doors slide open.

Walking in the first room was small with three doors, two there double doors with bars so you could see the other room and the other door was in the corner out the way. The room was covered in nothing but scaped metal and old furniture.

Opening the double doors he lead you to a much bigger room that looked like a mini factory floor, somewhere they'd make products or a wearhouse in movies where they fix cars. A tractor sat in the middle of the room, covered in a white sheet. This room two was filled with metal and wooden junk, your sadness for how he's been living made you feel even more sad that he lives in piles of junk.

He lead you through the room to another pair of doors, this time they're more metal looking by not having any metal bars or features that looks dull. No, they where darker in comparison and something you'd typically see in surreal futuristic apocalyptic videogames and TV series.

Stopping in front of the doors he turned to you, looking at your cute face, "I'll give you the option on what to do next, we can either stay up here above ground or you can follow me and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

Giggling at the obvious Alice in Wonderland reference you looked around and then back to him, "Is it cleaner down the 'rabbit hole'?"

"Much more but that depends on how much you can take with nightmare inducing creatures."

Thinking for a moment you thought about the implications of what he said. On one hand, you can take a lot when it came to gorey and horror filled things but you have to be mentally prepared for it. On the other hand, since this was real life and the first time you two met you fainted from witnessing him brutally murdering a horrifying creature, but to be fair you weren't mentally prepared for that especially with that nasty smell.

"You live only once!" Said the voice in your head and you decide to tell him that you wanted to go deeper.

He smiled in absolute joy as he took your hand and lead you through to the next room, but the next room wasn't a room: it was just a balcony. Am metal balcony that had one of those machines builders would use to lift you up and down with the movable part that has the controls.

Heisenberg naturally gets in first and places and places his hammer on the floor of the tiny control deck, leaving not very much space. He held out his hands to help you inside, you grabbed his arms and stepped in; leaving no room for space between you two.

As soon as you got in and made sure you where okay he pressed the button and you both descended into the the pit bellow. After a brief moment the machine stopped and looks like you both made it to your destination.

Only one problem: the only way to solid ground was to walk along the metal arm that's attached to this deck.

Heisenberg already knew the solution as he climbed out and onto the arm, walking towards their destination. About half way he turned to see you where still in the small control compartment, looking around with fear in your eyes especially right after looking down. Your anxiety spiking once more.

Your breath quickening as your heart raced, your fear of heights and death fully kicking in as your mind made up several outcomes where you end up dead. You couldn't think straight in that moment so you gripped onto the sides and stood their in shock, like a statue and not moving.

A loud crash broke you out of your panicked state and quick steps along metal tailed after the crash, the footsteps getting loader. Looking up you see that Heisenberg was now fast approaching you, hammer no longer in sight as he got closer to you and kneeled down.

"It'll be okay. Come on, I'll help you out." A small reassuring smirk was the thing that pulled you out of your anxiety attack, his arms helping you out of the metal deck as he slowly walked with you down the metal arm. Making sure to not let go as you walked, his arms the only thing keeping you from loosing balance and your eyes locking with his face; not daring to look down.

As you got closer to the other platform you notice that his hammer was lodged into the wall, making a mental image of what he must've done while having your anxiety attacked. You quietly whispered a small 'thank you' to him as you two got to the platform. He smirked as he naturally got onto the platform first and then carried you off of the arm and onto the ground.

Sighing in relief you thanked him once more, he again told you it was nothing about yanked the hammer out of the stone wall and turned once more to where you stood, "Are you ready to see wonderland?"

Looking at the door a head of you two, looking back to him you thought carefully about what to say next. If recent events taught you anything then no matter how scary it gets, he'll always be there for you.

That's what you hope.

So you said one word: "Yes."
