Chapter 2:
Author's note: And here is the DA.
1 Max walked into Jampony late as usual. "YO, Max my girl, what's kickin?" asked Original Cindy.

3 "Notin much, you know the whole lack of sleep gets to a girl now and then." answered Max. She had heard her trying to wake her up this morning but had decided to fake sleep and come in late. Her stomach still hurt from being attacked the night before last. Some guy had jumped her looking to rob her. He got a lucky shot in with his knife, and cut her stomach up pretty back.
Max hadn't told Original Cindy about it, because she didn't need another person treating her like a child. Everyone forgets I'm a fighter, a solider who was not only trained form birth, but genetically engineered to withstand pain.
'Hey you don't mind it all the time,' said a little voice in her head. 'It's kinda nice sometimes to be normal, your just all messed because you think you have to be strong now that a war will start soon, between transgenics and humans. They have to find out sometime.'
"You better think of a better excuse than that fast girl, because here comes the boss man and he doesn't look happy." replied Original Cindy bring Max out of her thoughts.
"Pip, Pip people, we're running a delivery service here, not a social hangout." Looking over at Max. "What's your excuse this time?"
"Women problems" replied Max and started to turn around thinking the matter over.
"Not so quickly slacker. Look at this." he handed her a calendar with about 6 X's on it at random spots. "This is the amount of times you have used that excuse this month. Try again."
"Listen Normal, I'll get my doctor to write you a note, I really was sick, my periods been going all wacky this month." Normal began to pull out another chart. " Honest I'll bring a note this time." she spoke up before he found the chart he was looking for.
"Fine missy you better. Now don't just think since you came in late you can get out of work." he passed her about 5 boxes. "You get the packages no one wants to take because they're in the, really bad parts of town." He started to walk away to encourage more people to work with his bothering.
"What no 'stay safe' or 'take a friend so you don't die'" Max shot back at him.
"Nope, if you die, I'll hire someone else, and maybe they'll know how to get to work on time."
Max stuck her tongue out at his back before grumbling to herself and making her way out.

'My god it's bight out here' thought Buffy. She was walking along the middle of the road in a nearly deserted area of town. There was litter everywhere, and gangsters loitered on the streets.
'Hey babe, you need some protection. Your all alone here, in such a bad part of town." said some slime-ball looking to get some.
Buffy ignored him and tried to get around. She moved almost as if she was in a dream state, not fully able to comprehend what was happening. She had been out of touch with this type of situation for so long she didn't react as well. All she wanted to do was punch, him but he was human and humans couldn't be hurt.
"Hey you, stay away from her!"
Buffy spun around to see a dark hared, thin and very beautiful girl, sitting on a bike.
"What you gonna do about it little girl." Sneered the man back at her, trying not to show his nervousness. First this was an easy takedown now there was two against one. He still could win but it wouldn't be an easy fight. "Anyway, nothing going on here... only asking this girl if she needed some help. But since you're so eager to butt in you can help her." With that he walked off.
"Hey, you ok?" Max asked gently. The girl looked lost and confused. Her blonde hair was messed and dirty, her clothes probably hadn't been washed in ages, she looked scared and confused. But all the same Max could see that she was something special, she had and aura of strength around her, and something else.
Buffy looked up at the girl who had helped her, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little confused." She looked around taking in her surroundings.
"Do you need a place to crash for the night, you know have a shower and get cleaned up." Max had no idea why she had just said that, it just popped out. 'Why is this girl affecting me this much. I see homeless people all the time, it's part of the city.' "I'm Max by the way." Max smiled softly.
"Sure, why not. I'm Buffy."
