My Adrenaline

The Second Encounter

Octane had arrived back at the Gauntlet with his beer and cold spaghetti. He sat down and began to chow down on his meal. He ate fast, wanting to get as much food into his system as possible so he'd have enough energy to do some stunts. He was very hungry as well, so he wanted to eat every bite quickly so he didn't feel hungry anymore.
Wattson finally arrived at the Gauntlet, feeling excited to see him again. She walked around behind where he was sitting. She came up behind him and leaned over to see what he had.
"What do you have there?"
She asked with a cheeky smile, hoping that would surprise him, and surprise him she did. He quickly set the food down to his side before getting up and greeting her.
"Hola chica! I'm surprised to see you here!"
She continued to smile.
"I promised you didn't I?"
He smiled back at her. He honestly was happy that she came back.
"Glad you kept it conejita~"
She raised a brow.
"What does that mean?"
"Bunny girl."
"Why bunny girl?"
He smiled.
"Cuz of the bunny you had on your shirt the first time we met conejita!"
She smiled softly, following her smile with an innocent giggle. He looked down at her, noticing her cute blue dress.
"Aye, your looking good señorita!"
"Thank you mon ami!"
He raised his brow at her.
"What does that mean?"
She smiled, noticing how the tables had turned.
"French for my friend!"
He looked at her with a surprised look.
"You know French?"
She giggled at his comment.
"I *am* French mon ami~"
He chuckled.
"O-Oh..-"
He thought about that internally for a second.
*"that's kinda.."*
He paused that thought for a moment.
*"Hot~"*
He quickly shook that thought away and out of his mind when she asked him a question.
"I never got your name by the way!"
"Oh uh, Octavio Silva, but everyone calls me Octane!"
"What's your name?"
He asked her.
"Natalie Paquette, but my father used to call me Wattson."
"What do you mean, used to?"
"My father died when I was little."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, my dad was an asshole!.."
She looked at him with a slight smile.
"What about your mom?.."
"Eh, she never really approved of my ways but it doesn't bother me."
He said, shrugging it off.
"I never really knew my mom.. she died a few days after I was born.."
He scratched the back of his neck.
"Damn.. I'm sorry conejita.."
She smiled softly.
"It's ok, I live with my adoptive father now. He was a close friend of my father and so after my father passed he took over as my guardian!"
"What's his name?"
"Alexander Nox, but he's mostly referred to as Dr. Caustic."
He placed a finger on his chin as he thought.
"Where have I heard his name before..?"
"He did a news report a couple weeks about his newest pesticides."
"Ooooh! Alexander Nox!"
He nodded slowly before it hit him.
"Wait, he's your dad?!"
She giggled.
"Yep! But he's not as nice as he seems.."
"What do you mean conejita?"
"He can't accept the fact that I'm a woman now, he doesn't let me do anything..I'm not even supposed to be out right now!"
"Well, how old are you?"
"I'm twenty two years old.."
He looked at her shocked, she looked like she was only fourteen.
"Damn! You look gorgeous!"
Her face lit up and turned into a bright shade of red. She began to mess with her bangs out of embarrassment.
"Th-Thank you!.."
He blushed slightly as well.
"No problemo!"
She took a deep breath in to help her gain back her composure. She took a deep breath out before turning back towards him.
"So I was wondering, do you want to go to town with me?.."
He smiled.
"Sounds epic conejita! Let's get going then!"
She smiled back.
"Great!"
