After my little crisis of letting things sink in, I decided to change my dirty shirt. Looking over at my bags, I remembered the little tube that I found on the floor. Unzipping my bag, I reached for it pulling it out. It had a green glow to it, small as it was there was a lot inside. I placed it on my desk to further inspect it later after breakfast with the legends. Looking at the time I saw it was almost time to meet with them anyway, so I just decided to head there a tad bit early.

Opening the door, I hear metal clinking hit the floor, looking over to my right was a legend I never met, I was a tad bit confused since I thought I met all of them. She looked robotic, with a cold demeanor that made me gulp just to see her in sight.

She noticed my presence then took a good look at me, "What a pathetic fragile human."

She sternly says placing her sword under my chin to examine my face closer, "They just let anyone join..." She muttered

The sword right under my chin close to my throat made me shiver while the cold metal was grazed against my skin. She carefully took it away to not cut my skin in order to not have a blood bath for her to clean up. She puts it carefully but swiftly on her back before walking away down the hall. The whole interaction had me weak, I felt my legs shake and my hands frantically fidget together.

"Oh don't mind her darling, she is just a wee bit odd."

I could recognize that Scottish accent. Looking over in the direction of the voice, I was correct, it was Horizon.

"I can tell by your body language she scared you a tad bit dearie, don't mind her, she's someone you should not worry about too much." Horizon puts both hands on each side of her hips shaking her head

"Who is that?" I asked calming down from the sudden interaction

"An old colleague of mine, things...happened...but I'd rather not talk about the past, her name is Ash, use to go by Dr. Ashleigh Reid before taking on this form."

I saw her expression change when talking about Ash, she seems to feel anger and sadness when talking about her, so I don't ask any further questions.

"Hey, lets just forget her about now and head to the breakfast!" I exclaimed with a smile to try and cheer her up

"Thanks darling, you're right, I shouldn't let her ruin my mood since today is suppose to be good! Now lets move our bahookies and get to that breakfast!"

Moving our way to the lounge with all the legends their sounds of joy echoed once more, the smell of pork-chops filled the air, making my mouth water. Seemed like most of the legends got here early they loved to hang out. When walking in I saw all of them. Wattson was enjoying her herself talking with Crypto and Caustic but it looked like both of them didn't want to be near each other but love hearing her talk. Rampart was laughing with Mirage making fun of his "Kiss the chef" apron. Wraith gave a small smile listening to their shenanigans while leaning against the wall.
Bangalore was sitting alone, she seemed fine being alone but I can read on her face something was bugging her. I saw with her eyes she kept trying to eye Loba and Valkyrie who seemed like they where having a good time. Bloodhound with Fuse shortly joined them which lead to Fuse and Valkyrie to talk about which was the better alcohol. Pathfinder was hanging out with the little robots like they were his babies. Lifeline was jamming on the drums while Gibby bopped his head to her melody. Seer sat right next to them happily listening while sketching the legends in his sketchbook. Horizon decided to join in on Wattson's little group. I looked around to see if Ash was here and she wasn't which was good because she kinda scared me. Though I didn't see her I did see a red robot who seemed like he was about to kill something. What was it with this game and killer robots. Lost in my own thought something did caught me off guard...
