Some things were better left of alone. At the moment Reed decided this wasn't one of thoses things.

"Is this some kind of a joke? Did you drug me?"

The red haired man studied him for a moment. His face contorted into deep concentration then he laughed in his face.

Reed was not amused. Standing up on wobbly knees, Reed shot the man a glare, then walked of. He didn't know where he was or where he was going but at that point Reed was done with the madness.

"Aye! Where are you going?" the mans voice rang out. Reed fliped him the bird.

"Come back here you flag!"

Reed stopped. What the hell? Did he just call him a flag? Turning back around Reed looked at the obnoxious man. His clothes were sleek and form fitting with a dark over coat shrewn over his shoulder. Dark shoes like he'd never seen before sat next to him, leaving his toes exposed. Reed scowled.

"Who exactly are you?"

The red head stared at him for a moment. Almost as if he were trying decode him. "My name is Finnly. Finnly Harpenter."

"Ok Finnly-"

"Call me Fin" He interrupted.

"Ok Fin. I don't know where I am and I dont know what game your trying to play but I honestly dont appreciate it. So if you would, cut the shit and tell me what the fuck you want from me." Reed kept his eyes trained on his.

Fin swallowed nervously before giving a hesitant smile. "Honestly, I think you should let someone else explain that to you..."

Reed glared at Fin once again. Looking around him he could feel his agitation rising. Reed couldn't even guess where he was. The bulidings where smooth and round. He couldn't tell what they were made of even if you put a gun to his head.

The sky was dark and cloudy, it was going to rain. Glancing back at Fin he noticed that he was also looking at the sky. Fins jaw was clinched as his eyes flickered over the sky.

"We have to get to shelter. Now."

Quickly slipping on his shoes Fin tossed him a hurried look.

Something in his tone warned Reed not to question him at the momment. Fin turned around and began a quick jog in the other direction. "Hurry up and follow me!" Fin called back, a few feet a head of him.

Reed looked at the sky a second longer.

She had loved the rain.

"Where are we going?" Reed asked as he tried his best to keep up with the much larger man.

"Copraba."

Reed looked at him in confusion. He had never heard of anything like that. "Could you please just tell me what's go-"

"Look gramps, when we get there you'll get all the answers you want ok. Just dont get you panties in a knot."

Reed frowned at the guy. He was acting perfectly normal in this type of situation. Atleast he thinks so.

"Why do we have to run? A little rain never hurt anyone..." Reed grummbled under his breath.

For some reason this caused Fin to stumble a bit. Shooting Reed a look as if he has just kicked a puppy before he trained his face back into a weary smile.

"You old timers had it good..."

They turned a sharp corner leading to a dead end. Reed glanced skeptically at Fin. He only gave him a sly smile befor placing his palm on the smooth black surface of the wall.

A opening suddenly appeared and Fin slipped inside, it slammed shut right behind him.

Reed hesitantly coppied his movements, placing a hand on the wall a opening suddenly appeared.

Just as he entered the strange buliding the rain began to fall.
