Echo left for work at about noon leaving Suzuko and Hydra alone in the house, this was a normal thing. Hydra was a vicious guard for Suzuko and wouldn't let anyone get near her, While her mother was at work Suzuko waited anxiously for her letter.
"Hydra? Do you think they'll reply?" Suzuko was now doubting herself, The new species were awfully busy and even though she knew her mother was beautiful she's seen the way a few men look at her. Disgust was normally on their faces, of course her mother never tried to date any men and when Suzuko would ask about it her short answer would be 'I haven't found the right one' and shrug it off.
Hydra, feeling the discomfort falling off of of the young girl slithers next to her licking her face in a calming manner.
"Mama's pretty and I sent a picture with the letter, I just... I really hope they answer" Suzuko took a picture of her mother with Echo's old polaroid camera so she didn't have to get the film made and almost blow her cover. Hydra wraps around Suzuko's small frame giving her small squeezes to try and calm her down, unlike a dog Hydra couldn't just nudge her and let her pet her to calm down. Instead she would wrap herself around whoever's upset and give them small squeezes in reassurance, to anyone else it would probably feel like she's trying to kill them but to Suzuko and Echo it was more like a mothers comforting hug.
At about 1:30 Suzuko was fed up with waiting, She threw Hydra on her shoulders and creeped outside. Not sensing any danger she quickly goes to check the mailbox, opening it she looks through the letters slowly hope shinning in her eyes.
"Bills, bills, bills.... bills" tears dot her eyes as she puts the letters back in not wanting Echo to know about her leaving the apartment. She turns to look a the gathering crowd in front of the New species gate when an idea hit her, she could just ask them!
She runs to the gate weaving through the crowd, she didn't have to do much weaving considering once they got a glimpse of Hydra thy tried to stay as far away as possible. Suzuko easily gets to the front where she yells to the armored up man trying to gain his attention.
"Hey! Did you give them my letter yet?" She yells to them a large grin still plastered onto her face. The man looks over at her with a curious look. The guard was surprised, he wasn't the same man who guarded yesterday and saw the young child give them the letter she made however he was aware of it happening. The male who got the letter from her showed it to Justice North the head of the New species who showed the others. The new species liked to share the kind letter they get from suppporters.
"Yes" The mans voice was deep and throaty, Suzuko was surprised, she's never heard that deep of a voice before. After all she did grow up in an all girls household, and it wan't like Echo brought men home. A wide grin split her face as she looks at the man, he got her letter and that was all she wanted.
"Make sure you answer back ok?" Suzuko grins, instead of waiting for an answer she turns to walk back wanting to get home before Echo finds out she's not there. Unfortunately for her one of the drunk men decide to shove her into the bars, she cries out in pain as her shoulder meets the iron bar throbbing in pain. The drunk man continues to try and get closer to her as Hydra hisses menacingly showing off her fangs she snaps at him trying to warn him away. The man who was far too drunk to realize danger shoves the young girl again only to get bitten by the snake, the drunk man cries out in rage as the girl cowers against the iron bars.
"Back up!" the new species guard growls out opening the gate enough to pull the young girl to him and shutting it back not so gently. the large snake re-wraps itself around the girls body hissing at the man protectivly. "Are you ok?" He asks Suzuko with worry lacing his gruff tone, she looks at him with wide and frightened eyes. He curses softly to himself and pulls out his walkie talkie "Brass, come and swap positions with me I have something to deal with" The walkie talkie buzzes as another voice lets out a fuzzy 'ok'.
He takes Suzuko's hand carefully trying not to upset her or the large snake, she takes his hand easily and lets him take her into the homeland to call her mother.
