"Hey, Matt, wassup?" Yami opens the door to Matteo's building
"Ma'am" Matt looks up from his chair
"We got the base back" Yami explains
"Don't be humble about it" Kyron nudges Yami
"You really took it back?" Matt asks, standing up
"Your kid's in the hospital, making sure she's okay" Yami states
"If what you're saying is true...I'm forever in your debt" Matt bows to her
"I won't hold you up from seeing your daughter, but I'll be asking a favor from you soon, alright?" Yami asks
"...What was your name again?" Matt asks
"Yami, why?" She asks
Alayna sits in a chair facing a window, chugging a gallon of vodka
"Yami, I'd like to give you something, on top of that favor you want" Matt stands up
"Ooooh, you're getting a present" Flake teases her
"It is a present, a sign of respect, if you will" Matt walks into another room
"...Should we wait for him?" Lexia asks
Fifteen makes a noise
Matt comes back to her, carrying a box
"You didn't have to make it fancy" Yami shakes her head
"I wanted to" Matt releases a smile, handing the box to her
"Uh..." Yami shakes it
"Is it a pipe bomb?" Metal asks
"It's something I've used in my younger days, they used to call me "The White Tiger"" Matt answers
"You used a pipe bomb as a child?" Metal questions
"Shhhhhh" Carry shakes her head
"Oh that's cool, I used to be a cat" Yami stares at the box
"...You can open it" Matt nods
Yami opens the box...a pin of a tiger inside
"...That's cute" Yami takes the pin out
"Tap its nose" Matt and Alayna say at the same time
Yami taps the nose on it
A pair of forearm guards appear on her
"With these guards, you can create a full set of armor to your tailoring and a knife made from an extremely special mineral. one so special it's said to kill the strongest of gods, Zeus, Hades, even the great Palutena herself" Matt explains
"That's...can it kill people from the shadow realm?" Yami asks
"Shadow realm? That silly realm from that show "Bright Solas"?" Matt asks
"Nevermind, thanks" Yami nods
"I should be the one thanking you, feel free to stay here for as long as you need, call upon my aid and I will be there" Matt nods
"I appreciate it, thanks" Yami walks out
"So, what will we do now?" Lexia asks
"I'm gonna go think about that, and take a nap, I'm f#cking beat" Yami rubs her eyes
"We're staying?" Metal asks
Fifteen grunts
"For a bit" Yami yawns, walking into a big, free...house? House thing...yeah
"...Great, they got a restaurant around here?" Flake asks
"Yes we do, the "Better Bargain Breakfast and Brunch" building" Cipher points at a uniquely shaped building
"WHEN THE F*CK'D YOU GET HERE?" Clara yells
"I've been here" Cipher laughs
"Is it any good?" Flake asks
"I could go for a meal too" Kyron chimes in
"If you want good food, then you should go to the top-notch place I know, c'mon, I can show you" Cipher waves his hand and starts walking
"What about Yami?" Jason asks
"She's tired, it'll be fine" Carry smiles
"So, Flake, you had a story you wanted to tell, didn't you?" Cipher asks
"Yeah, so, there was this one day back at the orphanage, it was me, and Clara, and another friend I had, we all were sneaking around the place, listening to conversations, all of that sneaky stuff, then we started hearing this one woman, she was going on and on about saying "Oh doc, stick it in deeper, shove it in me, Oh, oh god, that's it" all of that, Clara thought that she was getting a shot or something because after that she said "You've got the best cumshot I've ever seen, it's so...so long and accurate" we had no idea what that meant, so the next day I asked this one guy, he didn't like me much anyway, but I asked him if I could get a cumshot, the guy just stared at me, mortified, I think he was scared of me the rest of the time I was there before we escaped" Flake laughs
"That's a great story" Cipher laughs
"Wow, that was quick" Jason points at a restaurant
"Yeah, I didn't say it was miles away, did I?" Cipher asks
They go in
"Hey, I've gotta go to the bathroom, where is that, exactly?" Flake questions
"Yeah, just go down that hall and you can go to the left, that's the girl's, across that is the boy's, cool?" Cipher asks
"Thanks" Flake starts walking down the hall
