She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

Roman leaned back in his chair relaxing for the first time in what seemed to be forever. He was aware of the irony due to the circumstances, but he didn’t care because he finally got to sit down and not have to worry about anything but the things right in front of him. The only problem was that Roman wasn’t exactly very good at doing nothing and would soon grow restless if he couldn’t find something to do.

It was silent in the room and Neo started to get nervous. ‘You have to stay it, you have to talk.’ She thought and slowly sat up, taking a deep breath. “Ro….man.” She said. Her voice was soft and gentle, not what people would expect. She sounded innocent but clearly wasn’t.

Roman was startled at first to hear words from someone other than himself, but he quickly recovered after he realized the source of the words. He smiled at Neo and rather that force them to focus on the fact that she’s finally talking he said, “Yes Neo? What’s up?” He did his best to sound casual, but it didn’t always fit with his generally formal and intelligent speech patterns.

She couldn’t think of what else to say now that he responded. She hadn’t planned this far ahead. “Do….you like….my v-voice.” She was having trouble pronouncing everything after not speaking for years. She’d listened to Roman so often though that she remembered a bit.

“Of course I do. How could I not? It’s your voice after all.” Roman was showing one of his few nice sides. He rarely let his guard down like this, but he was glad for the chance to. Roman knew he had to keep the conversation going to build her confidence, but he wasn’t quite sure how, so he just said, “I gotta say, we have some beautiful voices.” He chuckled a little, aware that his statement, while factual, played right into his ego and narcissism.

She was about to type something out but forced herself not to. “I l-love your voice.” She wanted to tell him more but was too nervous. She loved everything about him but assumed he didn’t feel the same about her.

He smiled at her comment and said, “Well thank you. I’m glad you do. You’re probably the only person who’s opinion actually matters to me.” Roman was quickly forgetting they were in hiding because of an expected attack on them. He was in the moment and that was all that mattered.

She got up and walked over, pulling Roman into a hug. “I….like you Roman.” She said and blushed, it was too soon to say she loved him, that’s how she felt at least.

Roman was surprised at first, but he soon recovered and hugged her back. “I’m glad to hear it, it would be a nightmare if this was all one-sided.” He held her close for a little while longer before they released. He then looked her in the eye and said, “I like you too.” Roman in a rare moment of embarrassment looked away for a second before managing to bring his eyes back towards the woman before him.

Neo blushed, in what way did he like her? “Wh-What way?” She asked shyly. “As….friend? Or more?” Her being flustered mixed with her not talking much was making it more difficult but she wanted to know.

Roman chuckled at her flustered reaction. “More, of course. It’s hard to explain, but ever since I met you you’ve always been able to get me to let my guard down. You’re the only person I can be myself around. Thank you.” Roman wasn’t used to speaking his feelings, or thanking people for that matter, but he’d do anything for Neo.

She touched Romans cheeks and leaned in, kissing him gently before quickly taking a step back. “I’m sorry….I love Roman.” Neo meant to say something else and tried to correct herself. “I love you.” She corrected herself nervously.

Roman smiled at her confession. He pulled her in for another kiss. When they broke apart he said, “I love you too.” He was trying not to let his usual narcissistic and cocky humor out. He didn’t want to mess this up by saying the wrong thing. He figured short and simple was the way to go.

When Neo was kissed again she kissed back and sat on his lap, not thinking it was wrong. “Be yourself, I love you.” Neo booped his nose and giggled. “Don’t tell people I talk.” She said and made a shush motion over her lips.

“Of course not. It’ll be our secret.” He said, immediately accepting her request without needing to know why. “But you have to keep it a secret that I have emotions.” He smiled and chuckled after saying this to make sure it was clear that it was a joke. Of course he didn’t want his lackeys thinking he was too nice; fear can be a great motivator at times. He relaxed in his chair and idly stroked her hair as he asked, “How long do you think it’ll be before it’ll be safe to leave this bunker?”

“Maybe a day.” She said. “So we can be alone.” She said sweetly and rubbed Romans chest gently, she didn’t mean for it to be sexual but it did come out that way. Neo just liked being around Roman and would do anything for him.

Roman had many thoughts running through his head at that moment. Most prevalent was the thought that he didn’t know what to do next. He had had many relationships before, but never any with people that he actually cared about. He didn’t want to mess this up. “A day certainly can leave time to relax.”

Neo sat next to him and crossed her legs. “What….do you want to do?” She asked softly. Neo had ideas on what to do but she assumed Roman would say no or have a better idea.

"That's a good question. I'm not used to free time, especially not free time with someone I just swapped confessions with." Roman leaned back in his seat and looked up at the ceiling. "I guess you can pick what we do, cause I seem to be fresh out of ideas." As he said this he looked back at Neo and looked into her eyes. He was glad to be with her, even if they were sitting around doing nothing.

Roman eyed the girl before him before saying, “My name is Roman. Let’s leave it at that; it’s probably best we leave last names out of it anyways. No need to get too close.” Roman had been in this line of work for a while now so he knew his preferred way of going about things. If you give up too much information you’re bound to get burned.

She replaced her cautiousness with a friendly, warm smile “well Roman please at least have a drink with me so I get to know you better”

Roman gladly took a seat next to Aya. He didn’t drink often; he didn’t like the idea of something dulling his senses. However, he figured as a show of good faith he’d have a drink this one time. He ordered his drink and turned to the woman beside him. “The details of the job are in this envelope. Don’t open it until you’re alone, we don’t need some nosy person learning more than they should.” His drink arrived and he took a small swig and looked back at her. “Now that that’s out of the way, you said you want to get to know me. What do you want to know?”

She shrugged “I’d rather just get to know someone I’m going to be working with and make sure he isn’t going to murder me as soon as my back is turned” she took a sip of her drink

"That's definitely the preferable option." said Roman. He knew from experience that it's not fun when someone tries to kill you. "Besides, I wouldn't murder you. You'd just disappear. But that only happens if you do something to deserve it." Roman was clearly joking, but his tone almost seemed to imply that he wasn't.

She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

The young woman couldn’t help but chuckle as she listened to the tall man before her answer back to her cheeky tease, a little grin appearing upon her rosy lips as she let her silver gaze over towards Roman’s vivid viridian. Her smile seemed to quickly relax into one of a calmer nature, before a shocked expression covered her face upon hearing of the man’s day before now. “Oh my gosh, of course you will have been tidying up after last night! Roman, I’m so sorry, I completely forgot! If you had told me, I would have ran straight over to help, you know?” Ruby spoke quickly with concern flickering in her shimmering silver eyes. No matter how much the rose themed woman worried, Roman seemed relaxed and comfortable still as he sat at the table with her, digging into his meal quite happily, all whilst keeping his deep green eyes upon the woman before him. This in turn brought a soft dusting of pink to appear upon Ruby’s cheeks, glowing gently as her heartbeat began to increase ever so slightly the longer she gazed over at the man before her, and he gazed back. Soon enough Ruby began to realise it herself. There was a small attraction growing.

After they had finished their dinner and paid for the meal they stepped outside. Roman’s original intent was to call her a cab to take her home, but he didn’t want the night to end quite so soon. So instead he decided to walk her home. “C'mon let’s go. I’ll walk you home.” He linked arms with her without thinking and began walking. “So you said you went to Beacon, right? What was that like?” Roman suddenly became very aware that he had linked arms with the younger woman. He became nervous but he remained linked. He looked down at the rosy woman and listened to her response.

The dinner date had went well that evening, perhaps a little too well now that it had came to an end and both adults had an overpowering want for the night to not end here so soon. Once the meals were paid for, the younger woman wandered out of the restaurant by Roman’s side, a healthy rose colour glowing upon her cheeks as a warm smile tugged at the corners of her soft lips. The two stood out on the sidewalk by the front of the restaurant, a small chill running up Ruby’s spine as a cool night breeze rolled past the two. The streets were lit up with many street lamps and fancy decor lighting around the restaurant they had just left. The scenery was beautiful and the bright lights seemed to reflect in the rosebud’s silver eyes, helping them shimmer and shine as she gazed back upwards into Roman’s vivid viridian eyes.

Before she could part her lips to talk, the tall red-haired man got there before her, linking his arm with her’s as he decided to escort the young lady back to her own home. Happy to know she wouldn’t be heading home alone that night, the dark haired woman wandered alongside Roman, her arm linked with his as her cheeks turned a little darker in colour, feeling her heart skipping a beat or two as her head grew light and her stomach developed fluttering butterflies. What was this? Before she could think anymore of it, Roman broke the silence, a hint of nerves in his tone which caused Ruby to giggle softly. It seemed he was just as nervous as she was. “Oh, Beacon was great! I met many of my friends there~ Before I went to Beacon, I really just stuck to my Sister’s side all the time… Beacon helped me get out of my shell and make new friends! The choice of subjects and teaching methods were amazing too!” she responded to the man’s question, before she gazed back up at the fancily-clad man, a sweet smile playing on her lips. “What about yourself? I mean… where was it you studied?”

Roman listened intently to her answer about her time at Beacon. He smiled down at her as she finished her story. When she asked about his school his smile faded for a second as he thought back to his past. He quickly recovered his smile and hoped she hadn't noticed. He broke his smile to say, "I guess you could say I don't have any formal education. I'm more or less self-taught. Of course I had people in my life who helped me learn, but it always came back around to what I could teach myself." He sighed wistfully before continuing, "I can only imagine how different things would be if I had gone to a school like Beacon. It sounds like fun and a great resource." At this point they had made some progress towards her home, but they weren't quite there yet. He noticed he was happy that their walk wasn't quite over yet. At this point he had a creeping suspicion as to why, but he wasn't sure enough yet to fully accept it as the reason.

She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

Roman leaned back in his chair relaxing for the first time in what seemed to be forever. He was aware of the irony due to the circumstances, but he didn’t care because he finally got to sit down and not have to worry about anything but the things right in front of him. The only problem was that Roman wasn’t exactly very good at doing nothing and would soon grow restless if he couldn’t find something to do.

“Of course I do. How could I not? It’s your voice after all.” Roman was showing one of his few nice sides. He rarely let his guard down like this, but he was glad for the chance to.

“What money? How should I know what you are talking about” she hissed and Spat at him. Cas knew she had to escape but did not know how…she was stuck and noticed her tracking device was damaged…

“Don’t play dumb!” Roman shouted suddenly. His employers would not accept another failure from him. He needed to find the money and he was told this person was seen stealing the money. After he regained his composure Roman said, “Look, you were seen with the money, so tell me where it’s hidden and we’re square. If you don’t tell me, then things get fun. Well, fun for me. Not so much for you.” Roman pulled out a knife to emphasize his threat.

She squinted her eyes a bit. “Fine, It is in the Unmarked envelope in my pocket.” She used a wire to bring out the enevelope and handed it over to him. “See? Now what do you Plan on doing to me Human…” she brought the Wire back and slid it into her restraints. “I am merely an android and of no use to you s-sir”

Roman smiled and thanked her as he took the envelope. “Well now that I’ve gotten what I want, you’re right, I don’t need you anymore. So what we’re gonna do is, since your an android, we’re gonna keep you here until we figure out how to wipe your memory, and then we’ll set you free. That keeps us from having to hide yet another body, and you get to live. It’s more… cost effective this way.” Roman counted the money to make sure it was all there. It was. He wasn’t going to trust any of his lackeys to keep guard, so he decided to keep watch himself.

She undid the rope using the wire that Slid there earlier, silent as a mouse she pretented like she was still tied. “Now Mr….Criminal tell me, what would you do with a simple little Kid like me?” She spoke in a singsong yet shaky voice.

“I may not be a real girl…but I know how..important you feel on that high pedastel” she looked down immediatly and coughed.

“Look girl, the thing is, everyone has a pedastal that makes them feel high and mighty. Mine is just bigger.” Roman was seriously starting to dislike this girl. First she stole from him, then she lied to him, and even after that she tried to insult him. “Also, I wouldn’t advertise that you’re not a ‘real girl’ to criminals like me. We’re always looking for excuses to go overboard with punishment.” Roman then sighed and looked around the room. His instincts that have been honed for years out on the streets were telling him something was off, he just didn’t know what yet.

She jumped up and Pulled out a knife from her belt. “Oh dear, Looks like someone forgot to disarm me.” She stepped off her chair and held the knife to his throat. “Now You are going to let me go, and never Bother me again” she spat at him.

She knew that she had to reach the Guards somehow but…how she did not know, for she did not have her tracking device microchip.

“Well well well,” Roman tried not to move to much as to keep his throat intact, “It looks like you’ve still got some fight in you. Not that it really matters.” He pointed at the door and said, “The way out is that way. If this was my operation I’d make sure you don’t get out alive, but hey, it’s not.” Roman then put his right hand up and said, “I promise to let you leave. I don’t think I can promise not to bother you though. You see, I have a tendency to be bothersome. I’d leave while you still can, I’m not the only one in the building.”

She nodded and walked to the door still holding the knife. She walked outside and looked up at the moon with a sigh. She knew she was going to get scolded by her creator and looked down in acceptance. Hopefully she thought this was not going to get into the news…if so she would never see the Light of day until the Grimm invaded. Slowly she went into the well lit alley to take a shortcut back to the lab.

Roman managed to keep his calm after his escapee captive left. He gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, further into the building. He yelled at the lackeys to clean up the room and delivered the money to his employers. They weren’t happy he let the android escape, but he wasn’t too concerned about their happiness, he gets paid either way. All he could do then was wait. Either she does something to take him down, or he never has to see her again. Probably.

She walked into her small cell compartment where she was held ususally when she was not deployed. She sat on the floor and deactivated herself in order for her batteries to recharge and as such a blinking red light appeared on her chest as she was almost drained. The camera in the compartment went dark as it shut itself off not needing to focus on the downed android. She powered on several hours later only to be as she guessed scolded by her inventor. She nodded as he walked out Locking the door behind him.

After several hours had passed since the escape, Roman decided it would be in his best interest to find a new score. He headed out into town looking for a place he could start planning to rob. He was hoping to find something that could supply him with both dust and money. The dust would keep his employers away from the money and he’d get to keep it all for himself. Before he’d left he told some of the lackeys to stay on standby so if he ever needed them he could call for them. Roman figured the only way he’d call for them is if he sees an opening to rob a store immediately.

The Android had been allowed to step back out in a very Limited Radius. After Memory of the event was wiped so she would know to forget everything that happened as to not mess with her programming. Cas looked around as she stood by a streetlamp admiring the clouds this is merely what she was told and of course she had to follow her Masters Protocol…

Roman was walking down the street, he still hadn’t found a place to stake out and wait to rob. He knew it wasn’t likely he’d find something anytime soon, but he needed something to do. He wanted to forget the events that had transpired earlier that day. He was soon forced to duck into a back alley because he saw some police officers drawing dangerously close to his location. He noticed that the alley was a dead end. That meant his only option was to sit and wait and hope they don’t happen across him.

The android walked down the steer knowing she was near the edge of the border. She Had Activated her night vision as to see better in the moonlit night, however she was careful not to expose the shiny piece of clothing she had on as it was part of her Standard uniform to stand out among the others. With this in mind she turned her head to the dark alley a bit curious. “Nope…I have to follow Father’s Orders and not go anywhere dark by myself” she said and kept walking down the street.

Roman noticed something familiar out on the street, and it really pissed him off. He saw the familiar figure of the android that escaped earlier. The officers had almost passed by, but not quite so he had to stay quiet. After what seemed like forever they were gone. He rushed out of the alley and spotted her further down the street. Roman did probably the stupidest most impulsive thing he could. He followed her.

She lookedup from the Book she picked up and turned her head to the sound as she thought she heard something. Shrugging it off as an animal she started back towards the Laboratory to power down and recharge. Of course she put the book in her storage compartment to save space for her hands her bright blue eyes focused on getting back to her home.

Roman wasn’t sure why he was following her, he just knew he was angry. He followed her through the streets and finally decided to make his move. He sped up and caught up to her after a few minutes. He grabbed her by the shoulder to get her attention and said, “I found you, and you won’t escape this time.” This was personal for him so he couldn’t call in his lackeys. Roman would have to deal with this all by himself.

She whipped around and Turned her hand into a gun and points it to his head. “Protocol Activated, Threat level category 5” she kicked him in the stomach to knock him back. “Stand down now, Calling the Police.” Her tracking device released a signal and sent it to the police. “What do you want to do with me?” She stared at him angrily.

“Well that didn’t go quite as planned.” Roman muttered to himself as he put his hands up. “Category 5. I’m flattered. How about you don’t call the cops and we work this out among ourselves?” If the cops were to show up Roman would just have yet another problem to deal with. “As for what I want to do with you… well I want to make you regret making a fool of me.” Roman needed to find a way out, but that’s not very easy when you have a weapon trained on you. He knew he made a mistake, but he didn’t care, he’d find a way to come out on top in the end. He was sure of it.

“Oh Too bad The cops have been dialed and are now on there way.” She stared him down with a cold and angry look. “I came out to simply enjoy myself and you ruined it” she sighed and grabbed him by his jacket. “You will now have to listen to me. Do I make myself clear” she barked at him and spat in his face. Her blue eyes icy and chilled.

Roman put on a smile and said, “Yes, I understand completely. Now can you let go of my jacket? It was very expensive.” He was trying to remain civil, which is something he doesn’t do often, because he knew that it was his best and probably only option. “So, let’s get on with it shall we?”

She loosened her grip on the Jacket as she pulled out Handcuffs from her false backpack. “You are under arrest” she stared at him with an emotionless expression as she let go of his jacket completley. “Now, You will go quietly with the guards or face certain death” she said flatly. As she looked at the two arriving guards the guards nodded to her.

“Oh, now that’s just plain mean.” Roman said still maintaining his calm demeanor despite the serious trouble he was in. “Look, I’m sure we can work something out.” Roman was already reaching into his pants pocket to send a message to his lackeys from his scroll. He just hoped it came out coherent. It had been a while since he’d had to send a blind message from his pocket. Right as he hit send his hand was yanked out of his pocket and cuffed by one of the police officers. “A bit rough, don’t you think.” He said to the police officer. “Not that I’m complaining, it can have it’s uses in the right circumstances.” He gave the now confused police officer a little wink before tearing free from his hands and grabbing him. With the piece that connects the cuff now securely around the officers neck he put him in between him and the android. It happened too quickly for the others to react in time. “I hope you all choose wisely. Either you kill this officer along with me, or I go free and your man here gets to live.” He was now back in a game of stalling.

She had disappeared somehow…Leaving a blue strand of hair where she was standing. The one that had been keeping her had summoned her back immdiately for complete memory reset. This defect could not stand as she was told not to engage in the criminal, her keeper was upset as everything in her memory database was wiped completly leaving a clean slate.

When she Woke up the next morning from recharging she was confused and looked for a way to leave to no avail. She was locked in her holding room. Now she had to stay there until she was needed.

Roman had barely made it out of the situation the day before. Some of his lackeys had to sacrifice their freedom so he could escape, not that Roman was too concerned about that. He was now stuck hiding in one of his many hideouts until the whole thing blows over. He was concerned about that. This could last for quite a while, and if he isn’t able to do his job his employers will fire him. “At least I’ll be in charge of myself again.” Roman sighed.

She came out of the Academy to train, this was normal and her entire memory databank was wiped to spare room. She had no memory of anything that had happened during the previous days. “Time for me to train…” she sighed and looked at the cloudy sky. Not unusual for the location she was in, she covered her eyes from the glare of the sun.

Roman was right, he was fired. He just wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon. He figured his employers would let him rot for a while until they decided to end his suffering. It’s true that now he’s in charge of himself again, but one thing he forgot to take into account was the effect it would have on his reputation. Reputation is everything in the criminal world. “I guess I should just be glad I’m alive. After all, they aren’t known for their mercy.” Roman said to himself with a sigh. He looked around with a sense of defeat at the dull boarded up room around him. However, behind that defeat lay the desire to take charge once again and prove he’s the best once and for all.

Mira scanned the area and sighed again. No activity, yet. She looked around for any activity but nothing out of the ordinary so she began heading down the alley to pass the time. She had nothing else to do. “Well lets see if anything happens.” She said to herself and sighed again. She expected nothing interesting to happen on a Monday. Nothing at all…

Roman was growing impatient as the day went on. He hated sitting around doing nothing. After a while he had had enough. Roman decided to leave his hideout and see what happens. He left in his normal clothes, deciding not to show any worry about his situation. He headed down the street looking for some way to let off his steam. He knew he’d find something eventually, he just didn’t know what.

Mirabella sat on a bench with her lunch and started eating. She did not enjoy being around people very much as she feared massive crowds and Uncertainty. Mira held onto the box of food while she “ate” it, in fact her bod was turning it into something else of unimportance.

Nobody except her creator knew why she had a stomach it was not needed in Most places.

While walking down the street Roman had nabbed a few wallets from the people he had passed. He’d take the money out and then proceed to drop the wallet. He decided to use this newfound money to buy himself some food, but first he’d have to find a suitable place to eat. Roman noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench eating as he turned a corner out of an alley. He decided he’d approach more calmly this time, though he wasn’t quite sure why he was approaching at all. “So, why does an android need to eat?” He asked as he walked up.

She looked up and focused her eyes. “As it fuels our second source of power if our batteries run out” she put it Blankly and kept eating, she had no memory of the red head before her and sighed. “Who might you be?” She asked politely and smiled a bit. “I have no memory of you and you do not match anyone in my database.”

Roman nodded along with what she said to show he understood, but that soon turned to a quick look of surprise when she said she didn’t remember him. He recovered quickly as he realized that if he played this right he could use this to his advantage. “You really don’t remember remember me huh? Well, let’s just say last time we saw each other was… interesting.” He said, having to search for the right word at the end. “As for me, my name is Peter Candlewick. Nice to meet you again.” Roman decided it would be best to use a fake name in case she can somehow access the police database.

“So Peter are you from around here?” She asked politely as she threw her plate away. “I am an exchange student from A different Place entirely, not of..this world” she trailed off and looked away awkwardly. “In Fact I heard that I was created to be a slave. Someone simply used…I was called Model 345 Ai serial number which is far too long”

She sighed and trailed off. She was scared yes but had to introduce her serial number first.

Roman listened intently, glad to learn new information about her. Even the smallest but of information could help later. “Yes, I am from around here actually. I’ve lived here my whole life. Though I have done plenty of traveling. It’s always an interesting place to say the least.” Roman realized that if he was going to pretend to be he friend, he’d have to actually be a decent person so he said, “And don’t worry about that slave thing, it doesn’t have to stay that way. If there’s one thing I know about, it’s going against what’s expected.” He smiled at the android while studying her to gain a better understanding of his adversary. Though he was quickly understanding that it’s pointless to direct his anger at someone who doesn’t even remember him.

“Oh.” She got up and turned. “I should head back to the school…” she sighed and left. “Diego Who was he..” she thought and looked around..nothing could give her clues which was not surprising as the streets were not very busy.

She sighed and kept walking, unsure of what to do. Of course she could always go to the docks…then again.

Roman watched the android leave, noting the direction she left in. He was soon pulled away from this by the stream of incoming messages from his lackeys wondering where he went. He growled faintly at the idea that they think he has to tell them where he’s going. He figured he should get back soon, but first he decided to check in on some of his warehouses. There was the one uptown and of course the one down by the docks.

She went inside the building to get to class, she wondered if they were okay with her being different. Mirabella was not sure, she could never be sure of anything really. After being run out of not one but two schools she was starting to have a grudge against humans and Pigs.

She could trust nobody, she had not trusted anybody after nearly being destroyed by those pigs and she almost killed one. But after that she was torn apart by those Worthless Crabs.

Roman decided to check in with the uptown warehouse first. It was discreetly guarded as to not attract attention, but if anyone was to find it they would surely have difficulty getting past the guards. All of the merchandise and other stolen goods were still in good shape, and the guards were still vigilant so Roman decided to move on to the warehouse by the docks. He had a long walk ahead of him.

Mirabella went to the library and sat at a table silently. She looked at the tall bookshelves and smiled a bit. “Ah books..the original Knowledge keepers…” she nodded and stood to go get one. Slowly moving her hand across the spines of the books until she found one that sparked her interest. It was one on the history of Remnant, how intrguing…she thought as she went right back to her table and sat.

Roman worked his way down to the docks. Considering the length of the walk he had a lot of time to think. In this time he focused on two main points. The first was how he could use the androids apparent memory loss could be used to his advantage. The second was more in the moment and was about the best way to avoid the cops. Due to the fact that he had to avoid said cops his walk to the docks was extended. By the time he got to the docks it was already late in the night.

She hoped to be heading home to Atlas after the Festivities. But Mr. Ironwood insisted on staying a while longer while he did super secret top stuff as she liked to call it. She smiled and sat a bench twiddling with a string to pass the time.

After All she had had nothing better to do and since she was there why not keep her mind off of things. “What to do I wonder..” She looked up and thought…

Roman had finished inspecting the final warehouse so he figured he best idea would be to just head back and sleep, but for some reason he didn’t want to. He walked down to the end of the dock and stared out into distance. He often did this when he reflected on his actions. He would always reach the same decision, that what he was doing was the best thing he could do for himself, that he would do it all again, that he was happy. And yet, he continued to reflect on everything.

The android stood at attention as she stared out to sea. She wanted to go to the sea but to no avail. As she was made of Metal and she could not swim and would sink. But too bad she thought and smiled and turned to head back to the storage area which she was held.

“Uh..okay.” She said and looked towards the distance.

Roman once again reached the same conclusion and he finished his reflecting. He was suddenly reminded of some overseas business he could conduct now that he had been released from his employers grasp. His mind soon drifted back to the android girl from earlier. He felt a mixture of anger and curiosity directed at her. He wanted to know more, but something about her angered him. he wondered if he'd ever run into her again.

Roman eyed the girl before him before saying, “My name is Roman. Let’s leave it at that; it’s probably best we leave last names out of it anyways. No need to get too close.” Roman had been in this line of work for a while now so he knew his preferred way of going about things. If you give up too much information you’re bound to get burned.

She replaced her cautiousness with a friendly, warm smile “well Roman please at least have a drink with me so I get to know you better”

Roman gladly took a seat next to Aya. He didn’t drink often; he didn’t like the idea of something dulling his senses. However, he figured as a show of good faith he’d have a drink this one time. He ordered his drink and turned to the woman beside him. “The details of the job are in this envelope. Don’t open it until you’re alone, we don’t need some nosy person learning more than they should.” His drink arrived and he took a small swig and looked back at her. “Now that that’s out of the way, you said you want to get to know me. What do you want to know?”

She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

Roman leaned back in his chair relaxing for the first time in what seemed to be forever. He was aware of the irony due to the circumstances, but he didn’t care because he finally got to sit down and not have to worry about anything but the things right in front of him. The only problem was that Roman wasn’t exactly very good at doing nothing and would soon grow restless if he couldn’t find something to do.

It was silent in the room and Neo started to get nervous. ‘You have to stay it, you have to talk.’ She thought and slowly sat up, taking a deep breath. “Ro….man.” She said. Her voice was soft and gentle, not what people would expect. She sounded innocent but clearly wasn’t.

Roman was startled at first to hear words from someone other than himself, but he quickly recovered after he realized the source of the words. He smiled at Neo and rather that force them to focus on the fact that she’s finally talking he said, “Yes Neo? What’s up?” He did his best to sound casual, but it didn’t always fit with his generally formal and intelligent speech patterns.

She couldn’t think of what else to say now that he responded. She hadn’t planned this far ahead. “Do….you like….my v-voice.” She was having trouble pronouncing everything after not speaking for years. She’d listened to Roman so often though that she remembered a bit.

“Of course I do. How could I not? It’s your voice after all.” Roman was showing one of his few nice sides. He rarely let his guard down like this, but he was glad for the chance to. Roman knew he had to keep the conversation going to build her confidence, but he wasn’t quite sure how, so he just said, “I gotta say, we have some beautiful voices.” He chuckled a little, aware that his statement, while factual, played right into his ego and narcissism.

She was about to type something out but forced herself not to. “I l-love your voice.” She wanted to tell him more but was too nervous. She loved everything about him but assumed he didn’t feel the same about her.

He smiled at her comment and said, “Well thank you. I’m glad you do. You’re probably the only person who’s opinion actually matters to me.” Roman was quickly forgetting they were in hiding because of an expected attack on them. He was in the moment and that was all that mattered.

She got up and walked over, pulling Roman into a hug. “I….like you Roman.” She said and blushed, it was too soon to say she loved him, that’s how she felt at least.

Roman was surprised at first, but he soon recovered and hugged her back. “I’m glad to hear it, it would be a nightmare if this was all one-sided.” He held her close for a little while longer before they released. He then looked her in the eye and said, “I like you too.” Roman in a rare moment of embarrassment looked away for a second before managing to bring his eyes back towards the woman before him.

Neo blushed, in what way did he like her? “Wh-What way?” She asked shyly. “As….friend? Or more?” Her being flustered mixed with her not talking much was making it more difficult but she wanted to know.

Roman chuckled at her flustered reaction. “More, of course. It’s hard to explain, but ever since I met you you’ve always been able to get me to let my guard down. You’re the only person I can be myself around. Thank you.” Roman wasn’t used to speaking his feelings, or thanking people for that matter, but he’d do anything for Neo.

“What money? How should I know what you are talking about” she hissed and Spat at him. Cas knew she had to escape but did not know how…she was stuck and noticed her tracking device was damaged…

“Don’t play dumb!” Roman shouted suddenly. His employers would not accept another failure from him. He needed to find the money and he was told this person was seen stealing the money. After he regained his composure Roman said, “Look, you were seen with the money, so tell me where it’s hidden and we’re square. If you don’t tell me, then things get fun. Well, fun for me. Not so much for you.” Roman pulled out a knife to emphasize his threat.

She squinted her eyes a bit. “Fine, It is in the Unmarked envelope in my pocket.” She used a wire to bring out the enevelope and handed it over to him. “See? Now what do you Plan on doing to me Human…” she brought the Wire back and slid it into her restraints. “I am merely an android and of no use to you s-sir”

Roman smiled and thanked her as he took the envelope. “Well now that I’ve gotten what I want, you’re right, I don’t need you anymore. So what we’re gonna do is, since your an android, we’re gonna keep you here until we figure out how to wipe your memory, and then we’ll set you free. That keeps us from having to hide yet another body, and you get to live. It’s more… cost effective this way.” Roman counted the money to make sure it was all there. It was. He wasn’t going to trust any of his lackeys to keep guard, so he decided to keep watch himself.

She undid the rope using the wire that Slid there earlier, silent as a mouse she pretented like she was still tied. “Now Mr….Criminal tell me, what would you do with a simple little Kid like me?” She spoke in a singsong yet shaky voice.

“I may not be a real girl…but I know how..important you feel on that high pedastel” she looked down immediatly and coughed.

“Look girl, the thing is, everyone has a pedastal that makes them feel high and mighty. Mine is just bigger.” Roman was seriously starting to dislike this girl. First she stole from him, then she lied to him, and even after that she tried to insult him. “Also, I wouldn’t advertise that you’re not a ‘real girl’ to criminals like me. We’re always looking for excuses to go overboard with punishment.” Roman then sighed and looked around the room. His instincts that have been honed for years out on the streets were telling him something was off, he just didn’t know what yet.

She jumped up and Pulled out a knife from her belt. “Oh dear, Looks like someone forgot to disarm me.” She stepped off her chair and held the knife to his throat. “Now You are going to let me go, and never Bother me again” she spat at him.

She knew that she had to reach the Guards somehow but…how she did not know, for she did not have her tracking device microchip.

“Well well well,” Roman tried not to move to much as to keep his throat intact, “It looks like you’ve still got some fight in you. Not that it really matters.” He pointed at the door and said, “The way out is that way. If this was my operation I’d make sure you don’t get out alive, but hey, it’s not.” Roman then put his right hand up and said, “I promise to let you leave. I don’t think I can promise not to bother you though. You see, I have a tendency to be bothersome. I’d leave while you still can, I’m not the only one in the building.”

She nodded and walked to the door still holding the knife. She walked outside and looked up at the moon with a sigh. She knew she was going to get scolded by her creator and looked down in acceptance. Hopefully she thought this was not going to get into the news…if so she would never see the Light of day until the Grimm invaded. Slowly she went into the well lit alley to take a shortcut back to the lab.

Roman managed to keep his calm after his escapee captive left. He gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, further into the building. He yelled at the lackeys to clean up the room and delivered the money to his employers. They weren’t happy he let the android escape, but he wasn’t too concerned about their happiness, he gets paid either way. All he could do then was wait. Either she does something to take him down, or he never has to see her again. Probably.

She walked into her small cell compartment where she was held ususally when she was not deployed. She sat on the floor and deactivated herself in order for her batteries to recharge and as such a blinking red light appeared on her chest as she was almost drained. The camera in the compartment went dark as it shut itself off not needing to focus on the downed android. She powered on several hours later only to be as she guessed scolded by her inventor. She nodded as he walked out Locking the door behind him.

After several hours had passed since the escape, Roman decided it would be in his best interest to find a new score. He headed out into town looking for a place he could start planning to rob. He was hoping to find something that could supply him with both dust and money. The dust would keep his employers away from the money and he’d get to keep it all for himself. Before he’d left he told some of the lackeys to stay on standby so if he ever needed them he could call for them. Roman figured the only way he’d call for them is if he sees an opening to rob a store immediately.

The Android had been allowed to step back out in a very Limited Radius. After Memory of the event was wiped so she would know to forget everything that happened as to not mess with her programming. Cas looked around as she stood by a streetlamp admiring the clouds this is merely what she was told and of course she had to follow her Masters Protocol…

Roman was walking down the street, he still hadn’t found a place to stake out and wait to rob. He knew it wasn’t likely he’d find something anytime soon, but he needed something to do. He wanted to forget the events that had transpired earlier that day. He was soon forced to duck into a back alley because he saw some police officers drawing dangerously close to his location. He noticed that the alley was a dead end. That meant his only option was to sit and wait and hope they don’t happen across him.

The android walked down the steer knowing she was near the edge of the border. She Had Activated her night vision as to see better in the moonlit night, however she was careful not to expose the shiny piece of clothing she had on as it was part of her Standard uniform to stand out among the others. With this in mind she turned her head to the dark alley a bit curious. “Nope…I have to follow Father’s Orders and not go anywhere dark by myself” she said and kept walking down the street.

Roman noticed something familiar out on the street, and it really pissed him off. He saw the familiar figure of the android that escaped earlier. The officers had almost passed by, but not quite so he had to stay quiet. After what seemed like forever they were gone. He rushed out of the alley and spotted her further down the street. Roman did probably the stupidest most impulsive thing he could. He followed her.

She lookedup from the Book she picked up and turned her head to the sound as she thought she heard something. Shrugging it off as an animal she started back towards the Laboratory to power down and recharge. Of course she put the book in her storage compartment to save space for her hands her bright blue eyes focused on getting back to her home.

Roman wasn’t sure why he was following her, he just knew he was angry. He followed her through the streets and finally decided to make his move. He sped up and caught up to her after a few minutes. He grabbed her by the shoulder to get her attention and said, “I found you, and you won’t escape this time.” This was personal for him so he couldn’t call in his lackeys. Roman would have to deal with this all by himself.

She whipped around and Turned her hand into a gun and points it to his head. “Protocol Activated, Threat level category 5” she kicked him in the stomach to knock him back. “Stand down now, Calling the Police.” Her tracking device released a signal and sent it to the police. “What do you want to do with me?” She stared at him angrily.

He knew he made a mistake, but he didn’t care, he’d find a way to come out on top in the end. He was sure of it.

“Oh Too bad The cops have been dialed and are now on there way.” She stared him down with a cold and angry look. “I came out to simply enjoy myself and you ruined it” she sighed and grabbed him by his jacket. “You will now have to listen to me. Do I make myself clear” she barked at him and spat in his face. Her blue eyes icy and chilled.

Roman put on a smile and said, “Yes, I understand completely. Now can you let go of my jacket? It was very expensive.” He was trying to remain civil, which is something he doesn’t do often, because he knew that it was his best and probably only option. “So, let’s get on with it shall we?”

Mirabella sat on a bench with her lunch and started eating. She did not enjoy being around people very much as she feared massive crowds and Uncertainty. Mira held onto the box of food while she “ate” it, in fact her bod was turning it into something else of unimportance.

Nobody except her creator knew why she had a stomach it was not needed in Most places.

While walking down the street Roman had nabbed a few wallets from the people he had passed. He’d take the money out and then proceed to drop the wallet.

Roman noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench eating as he turned a corner out of an alley.

“So Peter are you from around here?” She asked politely as she threw her plate away. “I am an exchange student from A different Place entirely, not of..this world” she trailed off and looked away awkwardly. “In Fact I heard that I was created to be a slave. Someone simply used…I was called Model 345 Ai serial number which is far too long”

She sighed and trailed off. She was scared yes but had to introduce her serial number first.

Roman listened intently, glad to learn new information about her. Even the smallest but of information could help later. “Yes, I am from around here actually. I’ve lived here my whole life. Though I have done plenty of traveling. It’s always an interesting place to say the least.” Roman realized that if he was going to pretend to be he friend, he’d have to actually be a decent person so he said, “And don’t worry about that slave thing, it doesn’t have to stay that way. If there’s one thing I know about, it’s going against what’s expected.” He smiled at the android while studying her to gain a better understanding of his adversary. Though he was quickly understanding that it’s pointless to direct his anger at someone who doesn’t even remember him.

“Oh.” She got up and turned. “I should head back to the school…” she sighed and left. “Diego Who was he..” she thought and looked around..nothing could give her clues which was not surprising as the streets were not very busy.

She sighed and kept walking, unsure of what to do. Of course she could always go to the docks…then again.

Roman watched the android leave, noting the direction she left in. He was soon pulled away from this by the stream of incoming messages from his lackeys wondering where he went. He growled faintly at the idea that they think he has to tell them where he’s going. He figured he should get back soon, but first he decided to check in on some of his warehouses. There was the one uptown and of course the one down by the docks.

She went inside the building to get to class, she wondered if they were okay with her being different. Mirabella was not sure, she could never be sure of anything really. After being run out of not one but two schools she was starting to have a grudge against humans and Pigs.

She could trust nobody, she had not trusted anybody after nearly being destroyed by those pigs and she almost killed one. But after that she was torn apart by those Worthless Crabs.

Roman decided to check in with the uptown warehouse first. It was discreetly guarded as to not attract attention, but if anyone was to find it they would surely have difficulty getting past the guards. All of the merchandise and other stolen goods were still in good shape, and the guards were still vigilant so Roman decided to move on to the warehouse by the docks. He had a long walk ahead of him.

Mirabella went to the library and sat at a table silently. She looked at the tall bookshelves and smiled a bit. “Ah books..the original Knowledge keepers…” she nodded and stood to go get one. Slowly moving her hand across the spines of the books until she found one that sparked her interest. It was one on the history of Remnant, how intrguing…she thought as she went right back to her table and sat.

Roman worked his way down to the docks. Considering the length of the walk he had a lot of time to think. In this time he focused on two main points. The first was how he could use the androids apparent memory loss could be used to his advantage. The second was more in the moment and was about the best way to avoid the cops. Due to the fact that he had to avoid said cops his walk to the docks was extended. By the time he got to the docks it was already late in the night.

She hoped to be heading home to Atlas after the Festivities. But Mr. Ironwood insisted on staying a while longer while he did super secret top stuff as she liked to call it. She smiled and sat a bench twiddling with a string to pass the time.

After All she had had nothing better to do and since she was there why not keep her mind off of things. “What to do I wonder..” She looked up and thought…

Roman had finished inspecting the final warehouse so he figured he best idea would be to just head back and sleep, but for some reason he didn’t want to. He walked down to the end of the dock and stared out into distance. He often did this when he reflected on his actions. He would always reach the same decision, that what he was doing was the best thing he could do for himself, that he would do it all again, that he was happy. And yet, he continued to reflect on everything.

She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

Roman leaned back in his chair relaxing for the first time in what seemed to be forever. He was aware of the irony due to the circumstances, but he didn’t care because he finally got to sit down and not have to worry about anything but the things right in front of him. The only problem was that Roman wasn’t exactly very good at doing nothing and would soon grow restless if he couldn’t find something to do.

It was silent in the room and Neo started to get nervous. ‘You have to stay it, you have to talk.’ She thought and slowly sat up, taking a deep breath. “Ro….man.” She said. Her voice was soft and gentle, not what people would expect. She sounded innocent but clearly wasn’t.

Roman was startled at first to hear words from someone other than himself, but he quickly recovered after he realized the source of the words. He smiled at Neo and rather that force them to focus on the fact that she’s finally talking he said, “Yes Neo? What’s up?” He did his best to sound casual, but it didn’t always fit with his generally formal and intelligent speech patterns.

She couldn’t think of what else to say now that he responded. She hadn’t planned this far ahead. “Do….you like….my v-voice.” She was having trouble pronouncing everything after not speaking for years. She’d listened to Roman so often though that she remembered a bit.

“Of course I do. How could I not? It’s your voice after all.” Roman was showing one of his few nice sides. He rarely let his guard down like this, but he was glad for the chance to. Roman knew he had to keep the conversation going to build her confidence, but he wasn’t quite sure how, so he just said, “I gotta say, we have some beautiful voices.” He chuckled a little, aware that his statement, while factual, played right into his ego and narcissism.

She was about to type something out but forced herself not to. “I l-love your voice.” She wanted to tell him more but was too nervous. She loved everything about him but assumed he didn’t feel the same about her.

He smiled at her comment and said, “Well thank you. I’m glad you do. You’re probably the only person who’s opinion actually matters to me.” Roman was quickly forgetting they were in hiding because of an expected attack on them. He was in the moment and that was all that mattered.

She got up and walked over, pulling Roman into a hug. “I….like you Roman.” She said and blushed, it was too soon to say she loved him, that’s how she felt at least.

Roman was surprised at first, but he soon recovered and hugged her back. "I'm glad to hear it, it would be a nightmare if this was all one-sided." He held her close for a little while longer before they released. He then looked her in the eye and said, "I like you too." Roman in a rare moment of embarrassment looked away for a second before managing to bring his eyes back towards the woman before him.

Roman eyed the girl before him before saying, “My name is Roman. Let’s leave it at that; it’s probably best we leave last names out of it anyways. No need to get too close.” Roman had been in this line of work for a while now so he knew his preferred way of going about things. If you give up too much information you’re bound to get burned.

She pretended to count on her fingers before shrugging and smiling. Neo rolled onto her stomach and looked over at Roman. She tried to think of the girls in magazines, the attractive ones always laid like this. She played with her shirt a bit and looked at Roman.

He chuckled a little, aware that his statement, while factual, played right into his ego and narcissism.

“What money? How should I know what you are talking about” she hissed and Spat at him. Cas knew she had to escape but did not know how…she was stuck and noticed her tracking device was damaged…

“Don’t play dumb!” Roman shouted suddenly. His employers would not accept another failure from him. He needed to find the money and he was told this person was seen stealing the money. After he regained his composure Roman said, “Look, you were seen with the money, so tell me where it’s hidden and we’re square. If you don’t tell me, then things get fun. Well, fun for me. Not so much for you.” Roman pulled out a knife to emphasize his threat.

She squinted her eyes a bit. “Fine, It is in the Unmarked envelope in my pocket.” She used a wire to bring out the enevelope and handed it over to him. “See? Now what do you Plan on doing to me Human…” she brought the Wire back and slid it into her restraints. “I am merely an android and of no use to you s-sir”

Roman smiled and thanked her as he took the envelope. “Well now that I’ve gotten what I want, you’re right, I don’t need you anymore. So what we’re gonna do is, since your an android, we’re gonna keep you here until we figure out how to wipe your memory, and then we’ll set you free. That keeps us from having to hide yet another body, and you get to live. It’s more… cost effective this way.” Roman counted the money to make sure it was all there. It was. He wasn’t going to trust any of his lackeys to keep guard, so he decided to keep watch himself.

She undid the rope using the wire that Slid there earlier, silent as a mouse she pretented like she was still tied. “Now Mr….Criminal tell me, what would you do with a simple little Kid like me?” She spoke in a singsong yet shaky voice.

“I may not be a real girl…but I know how..important you feel on that high pedastel” she looked down immediatly and coughed.

“Look girl, the thing is, everyone has a pedastal that makes them feel high and mighty. Mine is just bigger.” Roman was seriously starting to dislike this girl. First she stole from him, then she lied to him, and even after that she tried to insult him. “Also, I wouldn’t advertise that you’re not a ‘real girl’ to criminals like me. We’re always looking for excuses to go overboard with punishment.” Roman then sighed and looked around the room. His instincts that have been honed for years out on the streets were telling him something was off, he just didn’t know what yet.

She jumped up and Pulled out a knife from her belt. “Oh dear, Looks like someone forgot to disarm me.” She stepped off her chair and held the knife to his throat. “Now You are going to let me go, and never Bother me again” she spat at him.

She knew that she had to reach the Guards somehow but…how she did not know, for she did not have her tracking device microchip.

“Well well well,” Roman tried not to move to much as to keep his throat intact, “It looks like you’ve still got some fight in you. Not that it really matters.” He pointed at the door and said, “The way out is that way. If this was my operation I’d make sure you don’t get out alive, but hey, it’s not.” Roman then put his right hand up and said, “I promise to let you leave. I don’t think I can promise not to bother you though. You see, I have a tendency to be bothersome. I’d leave while you still can, I’m not the only one in the building.”

She nodded and walked to the door still holding the knife. She walked outside and looked up at the moon with a sigh. She knew she was going to get scolded by her creator and looked down in acceptance. Hopefully she thought this was not going to get into the news…if so she would never see the Light of day until the Grimm invaded. Slowly she went into the well lit alley to take a shortcut back to the lab.

Roman managed to keep his calm after his escapee captive left. He gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, further into the building. He yelled at the lackeys to clean up the room and delivered the money to his employers. They weren’t happy he let the android escape, but he wasn’t too concerned about their happiness, he gets paid either way. All he could do then was wait. Either she does something to take him down, or he never has to see her again. Probably.

She walked into her small cell compartment where she was held ususally when she was not deployed. She sat on the floor and deactivated herself in order for her batteries to recharge and as such a blinking red light appeared on her chest as she was almost drained. The camera in the compartment went dark as it shut itself off not needing to focus on the downed android. She powered on several hours later only to be as she guessed scolded by her inventor. She nodded as he walked out Locking the door behind him.

After several hours had passed since the escape, Roman decided it would be in his best interest to find a new score. He headed out into town looking for a place he could start planning to rob. He was hoping to find something that could supply him with both dust and money. The dust would keep his employers away from the money and he’d get to keep it all for himself. Before he’d left he told some of the lackeys to stay on standby so if he ever needed them he could call for them. Roman figured the only way he’d call for them is if he sees an opening to rob a store immediately.

The Android had been allowed to step back out in a very Limited Radius. After Memory of the event was wiped so she would know to forget everything that happened as to not mess with her programming. Cas looked around as she stood by a streetlamp admiring the clouds this is merely what she was told and of course she had to follow her Masters Protocol…

Roman was walking down the street, he still hadn’t found a place to stake out and wait to rob. He knew it wasn’t likely he’d find something anytime soon, but he needed something to do. He wanted to forget the events that had transpired earlier that day. He was soon forced to duck into a back alley because he saw some police officers drawing dangerously close to his location. He noticed that the alley was a dead end. That meant his only option was to sit and wait and hope they don’t happen across him.

The android walked down the steer knowing she was near the edge of the border. She Had Activated her night vision as to see better in the moonlit night, however she was careful not to expose the shiny piece of clothing she had on as it was part of her Standard uniform to stand out among the others. With this in mind she turned her head to the dark alley a bit curious. “Nope…I have to follow Father’s Orders and not go anywhere dark by myself” she said and kept walking down the street.

Roman noticed something familiar out on the street, and it really pissed him off. He saw the familiar figure of the android that escaped earlier. The officers had almost passed by, but not quite so he had to stay quiet. After what seemed like forever they were gone. He rushed out of the alley and spotted her further down the street. Roman did probably the stupidest most impulsive thing he could. He followed her.

She lookedup from the Book she picked up and turned her head to the sound as she thought she heard something. Shrugging it off as an animal she started back towards the Laboratory to power down and recharge. Of course she put the book in her storage compartment to save space for her hands her bright blue eyes focused on getting back to her home.

Roman wasn’t sure why he was following her, he just knew he was angry. He followed her through the streets and finally decided to make his move. He sped up and caught up to her after a few minutes. He grabbed her by the shoulder to get her attention and said, “I found you, and you won’t escape this time.” This was personal for him so he couldn’t call in his lackeys. Roman would have to deal with this all by himself.

She whipped around and Turned her hand into a gun and points it to his head. “Protocol Activated, Threat level category 5” she kicked him in the stomach to knock him back. “Stand down now, Calling the Police.” Her tracking device released a signal and sent it to the police. “What do you want to do with me?” She stared at him angrily.

“Well that didn’t go quite as planned.” Roman muttered to himself as he put his hands up. “Category 5. I’m flattered. How about you don’t call the cops and we work this out among ourselves?” If the cops were to show up Roman would just have yet another problem to deal with. “As for what I want to do with you… well I want to make you regret making a fool of me.” Roman needed to find a way out, but that’s not very easy when you have a weapon trained on you. He knew he made a mistake, but he didn’t care, he’d find a way to come out on top in the end. He was sure of it.

“Oh Too bad The cops have been dialed and are now on there way.” She stared him down with a cold and angry look. “I came out to simply enjoy myself and you ruined it” she sighed and grabbed him by his jacket. “You will now have to listen to me. Do I make myself clear” she barked at him and spat in his face. Her blue eyes icy and chilled.

Roman put on a smile and said, “Yes, I understand completely. Now can you let go of my jacket? It was very expensive.” He was trying to remain civil, which is something he doesn’t do often, because he knew that it was his best and probably only option. “So, let’s get on with it shall we?”

She loosened her grip on the Jacket as she pulled out Handcuffs from her false backpack. “You are under arrest” she stared at him with an emotionless expression as she let go of his jacket completley. “Now, You will go quietly with the guards or face certain death” she said flatly. As she looked at the two arriving guards the guards nodded to her.

“Oh, now that’s just plain mean.” Roman said still maintaining his calm demeanor despite the serious trouble he was in. “Look, I’m sure we can work something out.” Roman was already reaching into his pants pocket to send a message to his lackeys from his scroll. He just hoped it came out coherent. It had been a while since he’d had to send a blind message from his pocket. Right as he hit send his hand was yanked out of his pocket and cuffed by one of the police officers. “A bit rough, don’t you think.” He said to the police officer. “Not that I’m complaining, it can have it’s uses in the right circumstances.” He gave the now confused police officer a little wink before tearing free from his hands and grabbing him. With the piece that connects the cuff now securely around the officers neck he put him in between him and the android. It happened too quickly for the others to react in time. “I hope you all choose wisely. Either you kill this officer along with me, or I go free and your man here gets to live.” He was now back in a game of stalling.

She had disappeared somehow…Leaving a blue strand of hair where she was standing. The one that had been keeping her had summoned her back immdiately for complete memory reset. This defect could not stand as she was told not to engage in the criminal, her keeper was upset as everything in her memory database was wiped completly leaving a clean slate.

When she Woke up the next morning from recharging she was confused and looked for a way to leave to no avail. She was locked in her holding room. Now she had to stay there until she was needed.

Roman had barely made it out of the situation the day before. Some of his lackeys had to sacrifice their freedom so he could escape, not that Roman was too concerned about that. He was now stuck hiding in one of his many hideouts until the whole thing blows over. He was concerned about that. This could last for quite a while, and if he isn’t able to do his job his employers will fire him. “At least I’ll be in charge of myself again.” Roman sighed.

She came out of the Academy to train, this was normal and her entire memory databank was wiped to spare room. She had no memory of anything that had happened during the previous days. “Time for me to train…” she sighed and looked at the cloudy sky. Not unusual for the location she was in, she covered her eyes from the glare of the sun.

Roman was right, he was fired. He just wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon. He figured his employers would let him rot for a while until they decided to end his suffering. It’s true that now he’s in charge of himself again, but one thing he forgot to take into account was the effect it would have on his reputation. Reputation is everything in the criminal world. “I guess I should just be glad I’m alive. After all, they aren’t known for their mercy.” Roman said to himself with a sigh. He looked around with a sense of defeat at the dull boarded up room around him. However, behind that defeat lay the desire to take charge once again and prove he’s the best once and for all.

Mira scanned the area and sighed again. No activity, yet. She looked around for any activity but nothing out of the ordinary so she began heading down the alley to pass the time. She had nothing else to do. “Well lets see if anything happens.” She said to herself and sighed again. She expected nothing interesting to happen on a Monday. Nothing at all…

Roman was growing impatient as the day went on. He hated sitting around doing nothing. After a while he had had enough. Roman decided to leave his hideout and see what happens. He left in his normal clothes, deciding not to show any worry about his situation. He headed down the street looking for some way to let off his steam. He knew he’d find something eventually, he just didn’t know what.

Mirabella sat on a bench with her lunch and started eating. She did not enjoy being around people very much as she feared massive crowds and Uncertainty. Mira held onto the box of food while she “ate” it, in fact her bod was turning it into something else of unimportance.

Nobody except her creator knew why she had a stomach it was not needed in Most places.

While walking down the street Roman had nabbed a few wallets from the people he had passed. He’d take the money out and then proceed to drop the wallet. He decided to use this newfound money to buy himself some food, but first he’d have to find a suitable place to eat. Roman noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench eating as he turned a corner out of an alley. He decided he’d approach more calmly this time, though he wasn’t quite sure why he was approaching at all. “So, why does an android need to eat?” He asked as he walked up.

She looked up and focused her eyes. “As it fuels our second source of power if our batteries run out” she put it Blankly and kept eating, she had no memory of the red head before her and sighed. “Who might you be?” She asked politely and smiled a bit. “I have no memory of you and you do not match anyone in my database.”

Roman nodded along with what she said to show he understood, but that soon turned to a quick look of surprise when she said she didn’t remember him. He recovered quickly as he realized that if he played this right he could use this to his advantage. “You really don’t remember remember me huh? Well, let’s just say last time we saw each other was… interesting.” He said, having to search for the right word at the end. “As for me, my name is Peter Candlewick. Nice to meet you again.” Roman decided it would be best to use a fake name in case she can somehow access the police database.

“So Peter are you from around here?” She asked politely as she threw her plate away. “I am an exchange student from A different Place entirely, not of..this world” she trailed off and looked away awkwardly. “In Fact I heard that I was created to be a slave. Someone simply used…I was called Model 345 Ai serial number which is far too long”

She sighed and trailed off. She was scared yes but had to introduce her serial number first.

Roman listened intently, glad to learn new information about her. Even the smallest but of information could help later. “Yes, I am from around here actually. I’ve lived here my whole life. Though I have done plenty of traveling. It’s always an interesting place to say the least.” Roman realized that if he was going to pretend to be he friend, he’d have to actually be a decent person so he said, “And don’t worry about that slave thing, it doesn’t have to stay that way. If there’s one thing I know about, it’s going against what’s expected.” He smiled at the android while studying her to gain a better understanding of his adversary. Though he was quickly understanding that it’s pointless to direct his anger at someone who doesn’t even remember him.

“Oh.” She got up and turned. “I should head back to the school…” she sighed and left. “Diego Who was he..” she thought and looked around..nothing could give her clues which was not surprising as the streets were not very busy.

She sighed and kept walking, unsure of what to do. Of course she could always go to the docks…then again.

Roman watched the android leave, noting the direction she left in. He was soon pulled away from this by the stream of incoming messages from his lackeys wondering where he went. He growled faintly at the idea that they think he has to tell them where he’s going. He figured he should get back soon, but first he decided to check in on some of his warehouses.

It was discreetly guarded as to not attract attention, but if anyone was to find it they would surely have difficulty getting past the guards. All of the merchandise and other stolen goods were still in good shape, and the guards were still vigilant so Roman decided to move on to the warehouse by the docks. He had a long walk ahead of him.

Mirabella went to the library and sat at a table silently. She looked at the tall bookshelves and smiled a bit. “Ah books..the original Knowledge keepers…” she nodded and stood to go get one. Slowly moving her hand across the spines of the books until she found one that sparked her interest. It was one on the history of Remnant, how intrguing…she thought as she went right back to her table and sat.

Roman worked his way down to the docks. Considering the length of the walk he had a lot of time to think. In this time he focused on two main points. The first was how he could use the androids apparent memory loss could be used to his advantage. The second was more in the moment and was about the best way to avoid the cops.
