Xeno had to get out of here. surely there had to be some sort of fee.
He couldnt afford fees.
He also couldnt afford to get shot. like the other guy did.
Xeno unclips his wires and quickly sprints to the hall.
Hes upset, he needs to get out of here, surely his parents would kill him if he was gone too long.
He ran and ran, but this place seemed like a maze.
thats until..
he ran into him.
Xeno looked up at the blockade that had stopped his running, shaking with fear.
It was a 8ft, black feathered, skull faced and red eyed bird.
and he was staring straight at him.
He didnt even want to attempt to fight this guy, he didnt seem to have much muscle , but he seemed he could do more than just take a few punches.
Xeno fell backwards, stopping in fear.
"Well. It seems you're awake" the deep and grim voice of the man said.
Silence, said Xeno
"hmpt."
The bird man held out his sharp clawed hands, and directed them at Xeno.
"stand up."
Xeno grabbed his hand, which was cold, so very cold.
Just like the room.
Just like this whole place.
This, This Is Mr. B.
The man who shot that gun.
Xeno was fearful, and very much didnt trust this man, but he had no choice.
"Who, Who are you..?" he asked, knowing the answer.
"Byrd."
"Byrd?"
"Arkham. Arkham Byrd."
"N-nice to meet you.. Mr. Byrd., My name is Xeno."
"Pleasure."
"W-why am i here?"
"i found you on the floor, bleeding. and you simply looked too frail to even stand."
"did you shoot that other guy?" Xeno says, Snarling a bit.
"You mean the Man who mugged you, stomped your face in, and kicked you?" says Arkham.
"that was h-"
"yes, yes i did shoot him. infact, i saw the entire thing."
Xeno was Speechless, he didnt know this man, yet he had risked jailtime to save him.
".... Thank you"
"Hmpt."
Xeno started to walk around arkham, looking upsettingly. his Parents were going to kill him for being so late.
"I sense you are stressed, why?" Says Arkham, Turning around slightly.
"I gotta get home."
"you're still healing, why so?"
"My parents are gonna kill me, i didnt get my dads drinks, or his cigarettes."
"His drinks?"
"yes, he really likes them" Xeno trails on, without knowing so.
"why were you even out there fighting anyway?" says Arkham, Who was simply getting info.
"My parents. they need the money."
"ah..."
"well, i really need to-"
"Robin." says Arkham.
"..what? " says Xeno, turning around.
"Xeno Robin, thats your name. i know your father."
Xeno quickly turns around with teary eyes, hoping Arkham wasnt going to contact him.
"Please dont.. dont call them, they dont even know i fight!, please please don-"
"Your father was Fired for being aggressive and drinking in the workplace, aswell as causing multiple disruptions and harrassments, Jason Robin.."
Xeno's eyes opened.
"how did you know that?!"
"Well, I was his boss, Kid."
