He walked across the room and up the stairs on the far side. He walked up the fifth floor and opened the door to his apartment. His room was basically half the floor and was really spacious. The owner of the building was a really close friend of Ace's mother and that was the reason for getting such a nice place. Ace shut the door to his studio apartment and looked around the room. It wasn't like other studio apartments where it's all new and futuristic. A catwalk that lead to the roof went right past his window and he always kept it covered with a heavy curtain because of it. He had a simple room, a couch, tv, stereo, and such. He never did like the high life. He slipped out of his jacket and shirt and set his belongings on the table and went so sleep.
*Next day*
Ace was sitting in the classroom ignoring Maya once again. The bell rang and he quickly left the school and started to walk home once again. He was buried in his book and didn't have his headphones in. He heard running behind him but realized the sound was different then from Stojan and his group so he didn't pay any mind to it. He saw out of the corner of his eye, Maya run up and begin to walk with him at the same pace. "Hi." She said. "Hello." Ace said not looking up from his book. "Can I talk to you?" Maya asked. "If it's about us being friends then no." Ace said in his monotone voice. "Well how about we get to know each other. I'm 18 how old are you?" Maya asked. "19." Ace said agreeing just to get her to leave. "Well… what do you like doing?" Maya asked. "Reading." Ace said. "Anything else?" She asked. "Not your concern." Ace said. "What's your name?" Maya asked. "Ace." Ace said. "No last name?" Maya asked. "Maybe. Don't know." Ace said. "Maybe you need someone to talk to." Maya said. "Maybe but I choose not to." Ace said turning the page. "You're really antisocial. How far do you expect to get in life?" Maya asked. "Don't care. I'll find something." Ace said. "Maybe work from home." "Where's the fun in that?" Maya asked. "The fun is the fact that I get to be alone." Ace said. "Well at least me and you are talking." Maya said. "Congratulations." Ace said.
They were quiet for a while and Ace was nearing the Ivory Life and he didn't want this random girl to know where he lives. He quickly thought of an idea to lose her. He put his book away in his bag and slowly put his hand on the knife in his right sleeve. The special trick about this knife was that it had a rope attached to it so he could use it like a grappling hook. He quickly grabbed ahold of it and stopped at the intersection. "What's wrong? We can cross." Maya said. Ace shrugged and waited for the normal convoy to pass on this road. They went at incredibly high speeds and didn't stop for anything. When the final truck was whizzing by, Ace threw the knife with all his force and it dug into the metal and curved into a hook. The rope went after it and Ace held on tight. Maya was confused at first about what was happening but then Ace said. "See you around." And took off with the truck. "Oh you smart bastard." Maya yelled at Ace.
Ace climbed up to the roof of the truck and turned around and waved at her before sitting down. "No you don't." Maya said to herself before slamming her hands together and slamming her open palm on the ground. A roaring sound was heard in the distance and Ace watched as what he saw was what he didn't expect. A massive hover bike soared right past the convoy and to Maya. It stopped and she jumped on. She turned it around and faced towards the convoy. The bike was massive like the size of a truck and had four jet engines on the back as well as two spoilers that came off the back. It had a yellow and had blue coursing through piping on it. The four jet engines on the back were out shined by the massive Sword engine that stuck out of the back. It had long blue lines of cloth that hung off the spoilers. Electric arcs extended from the bottom of the bike to the ground as it the sheer power of it kept it afloat.
She aimed it at the convoy and took off her hood. She revved the engine and it sounded like thunder to Ace's ears. She got comfortable in the seat and slammed down on the gas. The bike reared back before rocketing at incredibly high speeds towards them. The convoy thought that it was someone trying to steal the goods and also picked up speed. Ace realized that Maya would easily reach him while he was on this truck so he started to jump up to the front vehicle.
The bike started to quickly reach higher and higher speeds and Ace now knew that no matter what the convoy wasn't going to work. He knew the convoy had a policy that any vehicle goes down it, the rest still won't stop. He knew that the convoy makes an incredible right turn up ahead and he used it to his advantage. He threw the right sleeve knife and used it as a hook to stay on the top of the truck and use the left one to pulled the rear truck and tip it over, blocking the road. The truck fell and rolled a little before skidding creating sparks. "That should stop her a little." Ace said retracting both knives. He was corrected when she jumped over the truck and, instead of going back to the road, decided to start driving on the roofs of the buildings. "This girl is fucking awesome." Ace said to himself.
Maya jumped off the roof of the building and did a front flip as she fell. "WOOO HOOOO!" She yelled. She hit the road and the electric arcs made a loud snap and crackle and burnt the street. "Is that all you got!?" Ace yelled at Maya, even though he doubted she heard him. Maya replied with a middle finger and a smile. Ace burst out laughing. "Catch me if you can!" He yelled out, taunting her because he wanted to see more. All this time Ace hadn't realized that he wasn't speaking in his normal monotone. His voice was now husky but joyful.
The convoy was now nearing the gates. The gates flew open and let the convoy through but shut before Maya could get through. "Please tell me she is…" Ace began to say waiting. As the convoy drove away from the city, Ace heard a thundering boom. He watched as Maya skyrocketed over the top of the towering walls. "FUCK YEAH!" Ace yelled. Maya put the engine into overdrive and it was now leaving a trail behind her. When she was at the peak height in the air, she climbed off the bike and did a jesus pose on the side of it, but kept her right hand on the handle bar. She climbed back on and did another flip and hit the ground with the electric arcs coursing through the ground.
The convoy was now in a dense forest and Ace decided he was done having fun and was now going to try and actually get away. He waited until she was behind him and he threw both knifes into two different trees and made them block the road. Maya did the same thing with the flip. When she was facing away from him, Ace threw the knife into a tree and jumped into the forest. He kept going deeper into the forest slowly arcing back towards the city. He hooked up to the top of the walls and turned to see Maya looking around for him on her bike. "HEY!" He called making Maya turn around.
She quickly did a full 180 and rocketed in his direction. "Well. Fun times over." Ace said as he activated one of his powers for the first time in a while. He stretched all his muscles and turned around. He vanished as if teleporting but to his eyes he was running extremely fast. By the time Maya had even gotten close to the walls, he was back at the Ivory Life. He rarely used this power because it took an insane amount of energy from him. He pushed the door open and Harley basically tackled him.
"Where the hell have you been!? This is the first time in forever you haven't been here at the usual time?" Harley asked. "Well sit down and I'll tell you about it." Ace said going to his reserved seat. "So what happened?" Harley asked. Ace proceeded to tell Harley about Maya and the bike chase. "Your joking." Harley said. "I swear." Ace said. "The fucks up with her?" Harley said. "Your sounding a tint jealous Harley. Is that the case~?" Ace asked jokingly. "What! No!" Harley said. "Get your stuff ready we're going somewhere. Me and you." "Harley as much as I am easily convincible right now. Are you sure that's a good idea. I mean a crazy girl with a super bike is right now probably searching the city for me and you want to go on a date." Ace said. "Yeah your right." Harley said sadly. "Seeya later cute butt." Ace said smiling at his new nickname for her. "Don't call me that." Harley said. "Alright alright. I'm gonna go to bed." Ace said as he went back up to his room. He got into his sleep wear and plopped down on his bed and tomorrow the weekend would officially begin.
