(A/N): Requested By: predatorofapex on Tumblr! Enjoy! Their request: Hello, I do have a request, I hope you okay with. Maybe a little backstory about rampart? And how she got into modding and gauntlet fights? That's something that not many people talk about and I think it'll be pretty cool to g a little backstory on it.

To The Best Uncle In The World,

Hey! Haven't spoken to ya in a while! I know it's weird I'm sending ya a letter and all. (Don't want to get my cell tracked.) Thanks again for the garage again! My shop is thriving! You should come check out the place when ya can, but just watch out for the suspicious folks walking around the area. I even made some friends! I hope they're trustworthy. The last time I gave someone a bone, they stole a shit ton of money and lots of my mods! These new friends I got are in the Apex Games! It's pretty awesome to watch! You should check it out! I wanna join so bad, but ya gotta be invited!

From, You Know Who This Is (R)

"Hey! Rampart!" Rayma heard someone call from behind her. She spins around to walk backward, looking down the road. It was an African-American guy that has been hanging around her shop a lot lately who called himself Reshaud.

"Shop's closed!" Rayma yelled back, looking ahead again to continue walking. She had a letter in one hand while a sandwich was in the other. "Go bother someone else!"

"Hey! Here me out real quick!" Reshaud shouted back, finally beside her while trying to catch his breath. "I thought you might want to check this out."

Reshaud holds out a flyer as Rayma sighed. She looks down at the flyer and began to read it, taking a bite out of her sandwich. Suddenly, she stopped chewing, stuffed her letter into her pocket, and yanked the flyer out of Reshaud's hand.

"The Gauntlet? That another name for the Apex Games?" She asked him, trying to read every bit of detail on the flyer.

"Uh…not exactly. I just know you can sign up for this one." Reshaud explained, checking their surroundings. He wasn't completely comfortable with the location.

Rayma glanced up at him, raising an eyebrow.

"How ya know I was looking into somethin' like this?" She questioned him, putting her hand on her hip. "Are you stalkin' me?"

"N-no! I see you watch the Apex Games on your T.V. back at your shop and I-I know you can't get into the Games unless you're invited, so I went searching for information on the Gauntlet. Rampart…your modifications are pretty awesome compared to others around here." Reshaud answered, looking a little embarrassed. Then, he noticed Rayma had started grinning from ear to ear, chuckling.

"Wait until they see me in the Gauntlet! The Apex Games goin' to have to put me in once they see how great I kick ass!" Rayma exclaimed, stuffing her mouth with more of her sandwich, and leaving only a bite left in her hand.

She slides the flyer into another pocket before continuing down the road as if she just wasn't talking to Reshaud. He didn't expect her to just leave and staggered behind her.

"So, you're signing up?" Reshaud asked, trying to keep up with Rayma's pace while bumping into a few shady people.

"It's my one-way ticket to fame and fortune and bullets flyin'! Makoa and Anita gonna be so shocked when they see Sheila's bullets flying for them when I'm in! They're gonna be like: "Oh no! Badass Rampart is in the Apex Games? Oh no! We're goin' to lose all our games now! Bo-ho-ho!" Then, they gonna pay for my drinks after I become Champion!"

Reshaud laughs, feeling the heat against his cheeks.

"Well, I'll be rooting for ya." He says, softly while being a little embarrassed with himself.

"Why thank ya! I'm gonna need all the fans too if I want my shop to be the most popular around the block! Shit, gonna have to make betta' security too. I know some crazies are here to knock me down too cause' they know I'm the best here when turning crap into gold."

"D-do you need any help?"

"Nah. I'll be fine on my own, but thanks for the info…uh…Reshaud, right?"

Reshaud's eyes shined when he heard his name.

"Y-yeah! That's my name!"

"Nice! Well, I gonna' run. Uh…I'll meet ya back at the shop if you wanna' hang with me and my friends. You can drink?" Rayma asked him before putting the last bite of sandwich into her mouth.

"Yeah."

"Great! Time to party! Haha!" Ramya exclaimed before taking off down the road while throwing up her hand as a wave goodbye.

Reshaud watched her leave for a while with a smirk on his face.

"She remembered my name…" He said to himself before walking down the road in the opposite direction and did a little victory cheer.
