Chapter 2: A Man Named Slade
"Thank you so much for saving me," Koriand'r said grabbing Robin and squeezing him into the biggest hug of his life.
"Cant…breath…" Robin gasped before Koriand'r let him go. He panted slightly getting his breath back before he started to walk away, grabbing his staff off the short man as he went. "Its just what I do," he said as he continued to walk away.
"Wait you said your name was Robin did you not?" she asked smiling brightly at him.
'Beautiful smile,' he thought before saying, "yes that is what I said."
"Like the bird?" she asked.
"Yes just like the bird," Robin said rising an eyebrow, 'where is she going with this?' he asked himself but he had no answer.
"Oh I am on Earth this is wondrous," she said with a sigh of relief.
"What?" Robin said a bit shocked that this girl did not know she was on Earth. he broke his cool domineer for a second as he looked at the girl oddly.
"Well you see the robin is only found on Earth so if you are named after the bird then that means I am on Earth." Koriand'r said smiling at her logic.
'Oh no she's crazy, beautiful but crazy. ' Robin thought, 'wait what I'm I saying focus,' Robin said catching his last thought. "May I ask your name," he asked trying to get as much chirm as he could out of his British accent.
She hesitated slightly before specking, "…the last person who asked me that that way tried to…" she posed looking down at the two men laying on the ground.
"What? Oh no I'm not going to…" Robin stopped and relaxed a bit as he continued, "I am not going to do that I just wish to know your name."
"My name is Koriand'r," she said as she smiled slightly at him.
'Koriand'r that's beautiful, but it cant be a real name,' Robin thought, "do you mind if I call you Kory?" he asked guessing that was her real name. It was still a odd name for a girl but she was odd for a crazy girl. With her orange skin and all green eyes which Robin had just noticed and now he couldn't stop looking into them. It was like they were hypnotizing him with there beauty.
"You can call me that if you wish to," she said as she felt a blush starting to from on her face as the boy in front of her look remained on her eyes as he spoke. 'Why is this boy looking at me in such a way?' she asked herself.
Robin and Kory just stood there for a minute looking into each others eyes. Finally the sound of the tall man groaning on the ground broke them out of it. Robin kicked the man in his head which knocked him out again. He looked back up to find he was just a foot away from Kory.
"Where do you live?" he asked as he tried not to look at her eyes afraid he would be hypnotized again.
"I live on the plant Tamaran," she said as she smiled.
"Is that by any chance around here?" Robin asked hoping this Tamaran was just a house where her family lived down the road.
"Oh no Tamaran is not in this galaxy," she said shacking her head as if it was common knowledge.
"Do you have any family here?" Robin asked.
"No I have been alone for a long time now," she said as she looked at her feet sniffling slightly, "…I miss…my home…" she said as she began to cry a little.
"There there," Robin said as he put a hand her shoulder, 'oh no she must be homeless,' he thought.
"Thank you," she said as she put her hand on top of his and smiled at him. He smiled back at her and in a minted they realized where they were.
"Your welcome," Robin said talking his hand off her shoulder as he walked away slightly nervous at how odd the situation was. "I have a friend maybe she could help you," Robin said, "you can stay with me and we well see her tomorrow."
"I do not wish to be a burden I well just find my ship and try to repair it," Kory said shacking her head.
"No I insist come with me no need to find your…ah…ship," he said talking her hand and leading her back out into the lamp lit streets making sure to walk on the two men as he went.
Kory looked at him in the light and saw that he was much more handsome then she had thought. She was unaware that Robin was thinking the same thing about her. He continued to lead her to an Inn were he got a key to a room then heading up stirs and going into the room. Finely he let go of her hand and that snapped her out of her trance.
"I do not think I should be here," Kory said a bit nervously as she looked around the room. It wasn't much just a bed and a fireplace along with and old table in the middle of the room.
"I already said I well not do that," Robin said laying down next to the fireplace.
"No it is not that," she said blushing, "I just do not wish to make you go out of your way to help me."
"No I was going to see the person I'm taking you to anyway," Robin said yawning loudly before he continued. "I need to get some information off her about a man named Slade." Robin started a fire before laying back down.
"Who is Slade?" Kory asked as she laid down on the bed with the pillows at her feet.
"That's what I was sent to find out."
Even later that night a woman sat in a dark stone room lit only by torches. There was nothing of real interest in the room besides the girl. She wore the same tattered clothing as the two men that had attacked Kory earlier that night. Only instead of the raged brown pants she wore a dress that was cut to about the same length as Kory's was. She looked to be about the same age as them as well. She had bright pink hear that seemed out of place with her pale face.
She was angry that was for sure by the look on her face and how she paced the room back and forth muttering things like, "stupid men," and "I'll tell them a thing or two when they get back."
That's when the two men from early waked in the tall one was still rubbing the back of his head and the short one had a large bruise on his forehead. "Sorry we're late Jinx. We ran into trouble," the short man apologized.
"You better be sorry where have you been the master has been asking me where you are all night and I have ran out of excuses." you could hear Jinx's French accent as she yelled at the men with it. Both of them seemed to fear this woman as even the tall man took a step back when her angry sparked up.
"That is because there is no excuse," said a man stepping out from the darkness. The man wore a metal helmet over his head that only had one eyehole. One side of the helmet was orange when the other was black. He wore a form fitting lather suit that had the same colours only they went against the mask. The orange against the black and the black against the orange. He also had large boots the clicked across the floor as he walked.
"Hello Lord Slade," Jinx and the two men said at once.
"Jinx were Mammoth and Gizmo under your command when they went missing?" he asked in his calm Scottish accent.
"Yes they were Sir but you see I-" she was cut short as Slade slapped her across the face. The slap was powerful enough to knock her to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes but she blinked them away as she touched her face were it had been hit.
"Pleas do not hurt her it was are fault," the tall man said as he took a step towards Jinx.
"I know very well it is your fault Mammoth," Slade said as Mammoth got down on his knees to help Jinx. "But it is her fault in turn. Do not let it happen again Jinx."
She nodded slightly, "Yes Lord Slade it well never happen again," she said as Mammoth helped her up.
"Now did you two manage to find anything when you where gone?" Slade asked.
"Yes Lord Slade we found a odd girl with orange skin and pure green eyes." Gizmo said not daring to look Slade in his eyes. "We were…talking to her when this man came out of the sky and bet both of us. I caught his name before I blacked out it was Robin."
"It was the girl that knocked me out I think she said her name was Koriand'r," Mammoth said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Hmmm I will have to look into both these people they interest me," Slade said as he took a second to think. "Anything else?"
"Just one thing," Gizmo said as he looked at Mammoth and motioned for him to get something from outside the room.
The sound of metal grounding against stone was heard before Mammoth came back dragging behind him a small round object. He dropped it in the middle of the room. It was shaped like an orb and all metal accept for a glass dome on the top. Inside was one seat and some sort of control system with only a few buttons still flashing.
"What is it," Slade asked as he got near it making the door open with a loud hissing sound.
"We do not know Sir," Gizmo said as he admired the technology inside the small orb, "we found it shortly after we found the odd girl.
"Hmmm this does not interest me you may have it Gizmo," Slade said as he began to walk out of the room.
"Thank you Lord Slade thank you," Gizmo said franticly, his gaze never veering off the orb. "Imagine the things I can invent with this," he mumbled as he ringed his hands in excitement.
"But this boy and this girl do interests me," Slade said from the door not bothering to turn around and face them. "Especially this Robin. Find out more about them would you."
"Yes Lord Slade."
