"okay here we are" Red X says walking into a dark room with Toni is his arms.
"w-where are we?" she asks a little scared.
"this is...well let's just call it my secret lair" he answers putting her down in the soft, black chair.
"okay, but why did you bring me here?" she questions
" you'll find out soon enough" he answers grabbing a white suitcase and sitting in front of her.
"what are you doing?" she scarcely asks as he lifts up her leg and removes her blue and black sneakers.
"you talk too much" he says ignoring her questions and removing her shoe.
"you're creeping me out" she says trying to pull away her foot but fails due to the sharp pain in her ankle.
"does this hurt?" he ask pressing his gloved hand against her ankle with little amount of force.
Toni nods yes and sits back in the chair as she watches him rummage through the suitcase.
"your ankle is sprained" he says grabbing a large knife and a clean roll of gauze, "this should help."
"what are you doing?" she asks as she relaxes her foot on a stool.
"fixing your foot" he answers without looking at her and wrapping her foot in gauze, " your not gonna be able to walk fro a while, idiot."
"well if you weren't dragging me through the damn woods this wouldn't have happened!" she sasses putting her foot back on the floor.
"what ever" he says turning and walking towards a large, metal wall and flipping a switch turning on the lights.
Toni looks around, taking in the sights and sounds. She's never been in a place quite like this, this place made her feel some what safe.
"well, welcome to...my home" X says interrupting her gaze.
"it's....nice, I like it" she says slightly smiling.
"yeah, I know" he responds as he throws her one of his suits, " go get changed out of those wet clothes... your gonna get everything wet."
"okay" she responds taking a look at the suit then limping to a bathroom and changing.
A few minutes later she walks out in a black suit with a rather large red 'X' in the chest area, and simple black bottoms.
"nice, just don't ruin it with your female germs" he says looking at her.
"okay, I won't.." she says yawning and limping back to the comfy, black chair she was in before.
"here, get some rest" he says with sympathy as he lays a blanket over her and puts up her injured foot.
The brown haired girl nods slightly and falls asleep resting in the chair like a small child.
Under his mask, Red X watches girl sleep and tries his hardest not to smile. Just then a small computer monitor flashes on and off with the word 'CALL' across the screen in a deep red color.
"..who could that be?" he sarcastically questions as he walks over to the screen and starts up the video chat.
"hello, Red X" a deep voice echoes, "it's been quite a long time, hasn't it?"
"not long enough, what do you want Slade?" X snaps back sitting in a large metal chair in front of the screen.
"why must I always want something? Am I not allowed to just...call?" the tall masked man continues.
"no, you never call unless you want something, what is it?"the boy says as he sits back in his seat.
"I'm looking to bargain with you, you give me something I can use, and I will make it worth your while" Slade says giving a sly smile under his mask.
"i don't have anything to sell you" X states.
"nothing? At all?" Slade insists.
Red X takes a minute and looks around, "nope."
"i doubt that" Slade argues.
Looking around again Red X spots the sleeping girl, he stares at her for a few moments then returns to Slade, " well I don't have anything for you."
"what about that girl you found in the woods?" Slade asks the boy.
" how did you know that?"X remarked.
"boy, I know everything" Slade says
Red X takes a long looked at the innocent girl and turns back to Slade, gives a big sigh and finally amswers "how much?"
