Chapter 2: The Gang
She was silent before descending to the ground and looking at all of the men. They all had black hair except for one who had purple hair and blue eyes. The women were different. One of them had black hair while the other had blue. There were a couple of children standing there and staring at her.
"My name is Lexi," she said softly, bowing to them.
"Welcome to Capsule Corps. I'm Bulma Briefs," said the blue haired woman who carried a purple haired baby with a smile, "And this is my husband Vegeta and our son Trunks."
"I'm ChiChi," said the other woman with a warm smile, "This is my husband Goku and our sons Gohan and Goten."
"I'm called Mirai," answered the man with purple hair, staring at Lexi intently.
"I'm Krillin! Nice ta meet ya," said a bald man sticking his hand out for her to shake.
Lexi only stared at Mirai before glancing at Krillin's hand.
"Well! Its time for the kids to go to sleep. Do you guys want to stay for the night," asked Bulma breaking the uneasy silence.
Everyone quickly agreed and was sent to bed to think of what was to happen tomorrow.
The first day was hard on everyone. No one knew where to let her stay; she made sure she was facing the group with her back against something solid. She never said anything beyond what was needed.
"Lexi!" she heard Mirai call to her as she sat mending her torn clothes causing her to look up.
"Yes," she said storing her clothes in her bag.
"Come spar with me," he asked squatting in front of her.
"Why? Don't you normally spar with the others," she asked looking him in the eye, her head cocked to the side.
"Their sparring each other. And I already know all of their moves," he answered.
"And why do you believe that I can fight," she asked standing and dusting herself off.
"You have a high ki signature. Someone like that is normally a master of martial arts or has a lot of potential," he answered standing as well.
Lexi sighed but followed Mirai to where the others were. Before Mirai could do anything, Lexi disappeared into the sky followed by several small ki blasts. Mirai dodged them all at the last second before racing off to fight her face to face. For hours the two sparred drawing the attention of the others. Around lunch time, Lexi pinned Mirai to the ground face first. It was a sight to see. Her long black hair had escaped its usual pony tail and fell to the ground in waves of ebony. Her black wings were spread all the way out to reveal her unmarred back. When she lifted her head, her eyes were brilliant blue. She quickly did a back flip off of Mirai and landed next to Piccolo with her wings pulled to her side. Mirai slowly got up from the ground and looked Lexi in the eye with a knowing smirk. Piccolo noticed how tense she was and that she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"That's enough for today Mirai," said Piccolo as Lexi pitched forward, only to be caught in his arms.
To say every one was surprised to see her up at dinner was an understatement. All she did was walk in, grab some water and sit down at the table. She looked sleepy but that was all. All of the wounds that Mirai had caused were gone and she seemed like she was just waking up from a nap rather than collapsing from exhaustion.
"What," she asked looking at them all, "Is there something wrong?"
"N-no," said Bulma smiling, "You hungry? I just finished making dinner."
"Sure," answered Lexi zoning out while dinner was served.
After awhile, Lexi did trust them enough not to feel so guarded around them and let them in a little at a time. She quickly returned to her studies as a student in high school while working for Bulma. This meant that Lexi was Bulma's assistant. Lexi would run to all of the labs and take the reports from the heads of each division and decide which ones were more important. On one such runs, she ran into several men she never wanted to see again: the doctors from her house. She nearly lost it when they turned towards her and stopped talking only to eye her body with lust. Lexi began to back up while she growled at the men before turning around and running down the way she came with the men following. By the time they had followed her out, she was out of sight. Lexi arrived back at the Briefs home and cornered Bulma, demanding for the list of all employees.
"Whoa Lexi. What happened first of all," she said trying to calm irate angel.
"When I first came here you noticed all the scars I have correct," questioned the angel pacing.
"Yes. I didn't want to ask where they came from since everyone has scars."
"Their from being used as a live experiment by some men that called themselves doctors. I saw a few of them today at the facility you wanted me to inspect. It seems those men are working for you," Lexi said sitting in one of the chairs.
"Alright. You can pick them out, right," asked Bulma moving to her computer.
"Yeah. It's not to hard to distinguish those that have hurt you your entire life from those you have never seen before," Lexi stated sarcastically as she took Bulma's seat.
