Shadow unlocked the door to his apartment and was hit with the smell of lasagna. One of his personal favorites. Amy pulled it out of the oven, it had finished right on time. Shadow couldn't resist how amazing she looked in her black and white cooking apron with her hair pulled back in a messy bun. A salad sat on the counter next to the lasagna, along with two plates.
"Hey Ames." Shadow greeted her, getting a smile in response. Even though they had been around each other a lot, it was still a strange feeling for Amy to be in Shadows house. He sat down at the bar, helping himself to a large amount of lasagna while Amy had a salad coated in Ranch dressing. They ate in silence, and once Shadow was done he asked her if she had found everything okay.
"Yeah, it's a lovely place. Thank you again for letting me stay with you." Amy looked at him sheepishly, very grateful for not having to share the tiny place with Scourge. Even though brother and sister, it still would have felt wrong to make Scourge sleep on the sofa. Shadow nodded and said it was no problem, then went into his room to work at his computer. Amy decided she should go ahead and take a shower before Scourge shows up.
Grabbing her bathrobe from one of her boxes, she gathers her shampoo and heads to the shower. The warm water relaxes her muscles as she rinses off, but after she washed her hair, she realized she had forgotten her body wash in her room. Assuming he wouldn't mind, Amy used some of Shadows.
Stepping out of the shower, Amy dry's off and wraps up in her bathrobe before heading out of the bathroom and getting into her pajamas, a black tank top and green short-shorts. She stayed in her room, scrolling through her Tumblr until a knock came from the front door around seven. By the time Amy had stepped out of her room, Shadow was opening the door to Scourge and a black wolf. She had waist length hair with blue streaks and the eye that wasn't covered by she bangs was dark blue with a faint scar going vertically across it.
"Amy, it's like you to meet my friend and fellow Rebel, Twilight Marcella." Scourge gestured to the unfamiliar wolf. Amy smiled and shook the wolfs hand. "Her brother Core Demetrio also works for us and is one of our best with weapons and repairs."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Amy, I have heard plenty about you from both of these boys." Twilight smiled back, her tail brushing the ground.
"Come sit down Ames, we want to explain something to you." Scourge said gently, and Shadow gestured to the living room. The four of them sat on the floor, using cushions from the futon to sit on so they could all see each other.
"Okay, remember all those times I asked you if you understood the war?" Shadow questioned, getting a nod from Amy. "Well, Scourge and I decided that if you are going to be staying and possibly working with us, you need to know. Please remember that we have tried to reason and explain this to the Fighters, but that faker is too ignorant to listen to us." Something flashed in Twilights eye when he mentioned Sonic, but Amy didn't catch what it was.
"Let me put this as simply as I can. You know about Eggman and Doom, and how they try to destroy us and our world. Well, there are forces beyond them. Creatures, or shall I say demons, that are a thousand times worse than them. Years ago, they were unleashed onto our world and they almost managed to wipe us out. But even back then there were groups of people like the Rebels. People who dedicated their lives to controlling those demons. Those people found a way to reverse the portal the demons had come from and sent them back into their own dimension." Scourge explained, looking up at Amy as if to clarify that she was following it all.
"I understand, but what does this have to do with the war between the Freedom Fighters and the Rebels?" Amy questioned, this time Shadow was the one to explain.
"The Fighters are working with the chaos emeralds, and they are building weapons using them. Only the emeralds are somehow connected to the world the demons came from. With each weapon they make, they are sending out more of the waves needed to make the portal into the atmosphere. If we can't stop them, soon enough the waves will build up and the portal will be formed, only we don't know how to reverse the portal like they did so many years ago. If the demons are unleashed before we find out how, our world will be wiped out for good." Shadows crimson eyes showed no emotion as they meet Amy's wide green ones. "Twilight, are you comfortable telling Amy?" Shadow looked at Twilight and she nodded briskly.
Before Amy could question, Twilight began. "Just to prove to you that this does exist, I will tell you my story. My parents are both dead, they died defending my siblings and myself. I have two living relatives, my brother Core Demetrio and my sister Ova Selene though I haven't heard from Ova in a long time. Anyways, the portal sparked one day when the Fighters powered up their latest weapon. It didn't fully open, just long enough for one of the demons to emerge. It invaded our home and murdered my parents. Before it killed them it almost got me, scarring my good eye," Amy was about to ask what she meant by good eye when she pulled back her bangs, revealing a dark red eye. "My brother managed to kill the monster. After that our family split. I came here while my brother went to college for two years. My younger sister just disappeared, ran off to join that blue hedgehog and his team."
Amy realized the look she had seen before was anger. "Ova Selene. She works with the weapons at the Fighters base. One of their most determined mechanics." Ames muttered when the name clicked in her head. Ova was young, only fourteen, but she had some spark that drove her forward. She wasn't as good as Tails, who was past professional, but she was good. The air in the room feel still as they were all silent, pondering in their own thoughts. "Have you two eaten yet? Would you like some lasagna or salad?" Amy asked quietly, wanting to break the silence. Twilight said no to the food, but Scourge was eager to have some of Amy's well known lasagna.
While she was in the kitchen warming up a plate, the other three sat in the living room and talked quietly amongst themselves. Amy gave Scourge the warm plate and sat back down, leaning against the futon. It was already almost eight when Scourge finished his meal and he and Twilight decided to leave.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Amy," Twilight said graciously, hiding behind her bangs. "I assume I will see you at the base tomorrow." Ames nodded, she didn't want to spend the day coped up in the house, even if it was so nice. Scourge gave Amy a tight hug, saying goodnight before heading out behind the wolf. Although Scourge hadn't failed to notice how strongly Amy smelled like Shadow…
