Cinder was somewhat confused. This was the first time she heard of this stranger and Roman knows who he is. It confused her as to why Roman would hide something like him from her.
"You two know each other?" Cinder asked both men, Hoping for some explanation.
"You could say that. If we're being honest here. He's the reason I went into hiding, The reason I quit my job at Beacon, The reason you lost tons of lackeys at the docks that night." The stranger replied stone faced the whole time. Roman was too intimidated to answer and his new assistant knew that and imediately hopped down with her Umbrella in hand. She was 4'10 with a black corset around her waist, wearing a white longcoat of sorts that was slightly unbuttoned, Wearing several necklaces all colored black, She had thigh high boots with black dress pants held up by a belt, wearing black gloves but the most interesting factor was her eyes and her hair. She had hair that was pink and Brown and eyes that matched.
"Is Mary Poppins your new protector here?" The stranger asked nonchalantly.
"If... You must know... Cinder.. He was the one I who fell off the roof during that one dust store robbery... The one where we met Red... and Her name is Neo." Roman answered
"So that's where I've seen you from. I knew you looked familiar." Cinder said as she remembered.
The Stranger was slightly taken aback by this but soon reeled back. "You were on that airship. The one shooting fireballs weren't you?" The stranger said. All the while with Neo holding Hush to his throat.
Cinder chuckled a bit. "And you were the one who fell off the roof." She taunted.
"Cinder I wouldn't taunt this man. You haven't seen what he can do. And Neo please calm down, and please lower Hush," Roman responded. Calming down slightly as he regained his composure. "I've tried to kill him myself. It doesn't work out well." Roman said.
"I did try to resolve things peacefully." Stranger remarked. Getting on the ire of Neo as she glared at him. He responded by glaring back at her.
"Neo. I'm asking nicely. Please lower Hush." Roman said a little more worringly. Neo finally complied as she slowly lowered Hush but still glared at the stranger threateningly.
"I take it she doesn't like me that much." The stranger commented.
"I would agree, Let's see how the others react to you." Cinder replied.
"I think I already know who they are, And how they'll react." The stranger replied. It wasn't a moment later when Emerald and Mercury walked in the same room. Mercury froze upon walking in as he forgot whatever it was he was talking about. Emerald Froze for a moment but regained her composure.
"You know. You don't look as cocky as you did the day we met Punk. And Neo is starting to piss me off with that glare." The Stranger said as he once again made eye contact with Neo. Both glaring at each other intensely. Neither is backing down.
Mercury regained his composure. "Will those two get a room a already." He joked. Immediately regretting it as he saw that Neo and the Stragner became even more hostile torwards him. Sending him a death glare.
"You said you had art materials. Where are they?" The stranger asked. Neo simply smirked at the question.
"In that room over there." Cinder answered as the Stranger walked in and grabbed everything.
"You know those are top of the line materials and they weren't cheap." Cinder said as Started to carefully put the items down. "Let me guess you want me to work off what you paid for." The stranger said realizing that he might not have a choice.
"You catch on quickly. DO you think you, Roman, and Neo can get along Long enough for a job" Cinder asked. The stranger sighed.
"Depends on the job." The stranger replied. Expecting nothing good to come from this deal already.
"We need some equipment for later..."
