Richard's POV:

And I though I was almost get arrested. But luckily, it was just a school principal who wants me to work at his school due to lack of employees. At least now I've got a proper job in this new world, but money is not a problem for me. If this world has such evils like the man who I fought earlier, then they needs to be erased out of the society for good, at least it's not going to be like what happened in Earth all over again.

That's it for now, time to go back to the Hellbird. Since I don't have any money to rent a hotel room, so I guess I'll have to sleep inside the car then. Taking the key out, I press a button on it as the car slowly uncloak itself. Pressing another button, and the engine is on.

As I about to open the door, a familiar voice calls me.

Ruby: Wait for me, sir!

When I turn around, I can see Ruby now standing in front of me, in which I asks.

Richard: Yes?

Ruby: I just want to thank you for helping me earlier.

I nod to the young girl, then get in my car. I was about to go, but noticing that Ruby is still standing there so I roll the window down and expecting her to talk, and she did.

Ruby: Can you... take me back to my home?

Richard: Sure, but I don't know where to go.

Ruby: Are you a newcomer?

Richard: Yeah, I'm from Atlas.

Ruby: First time?

Richard: (Nod)

Ruby: Don't worry, let me show you.

At least she won't have to worry about shady people surrounding her, and I certainly will not forgive them if they did something bad to Ruby. Back to the problem, the young girl take a white translucent smartphone out and show me the waypoint.

Ruby: Okay, let's go Mr uh...

Richard: Shelby, Richard Shelby.

Ruby: Okay. Let's go, Mr Shelby.

Before driving, I put my mixtape into the cassette player and play a song because that's how I like it.

During the trip, no words have been spoken because that is how I want it to be. After following the waypoint, we are stopping at a red light which is near a nightclub, Ruby asks.

Ruby: What is going on in there?

I remain silent and observing the windows, some sort of modern electronic is playing inside but I clearly can hear gunshots and people screaming as well, that is until a man flying out of the window and land next to my car, then a blonde girl open the door and walking out.

She has lilac eyes that are quite unique nonetheless, her clothing consits of: a brown sleeveless leather jacket, yellow t-shirt which reveals her mid-riff with some sort of a heart symbol on it, yellow scarf, brown cargo shorts with brown boots and a pair of black fingerless leather gloves, she also has a brown checked shirt that wraps around her waist. On her forearms, are two yellow arm guards.

Ruby then steps out of the car and call the girl out.

Ruby: Yang? Is that you?

Yang: Oh! Hey sis!
