In an abandoned mega housing block a door unfolds out of nowhere then it opens. Out of the doorsteps Luz back into the mega block housing complex; followed by Owlbert who was dragging a cloth sack. The tiny owl makes its way to the exit and starts collecting junk once outside the mega housing block.
Luz pulls out her phone and calls the only contact she knows at the moment who can keep a secret if they decide to stay in the human realm. As the phone rings Luz walks over to a support pillar and leans against it as she waits for the other end to pick-up. A minute passes before Luz gets a reply and hears, "(happy and relieved tone) Luz, this is the first call I've gotten from you in months; I was beginning to worry that you were killed by a cyber-psycho."
Luz with a happy tone, "ya, great to hear you too, Lucia."
Lucia with a Curious tone, "Where are you; I haven't seen you since December last year."
Luz replies, "I'm at an abandoned mega housing block; I'll send you the location." Luz then sends the address for the mega housing block.
Lucia replies, "got it I'll be there in fifteen minutes, see ya, Luz."
Luz waits in the same spot for fifteen minutes thinking over what she should say to convince Lucia to join her in the other realm. When Luz hears the telltale sound of a motorcycle from outside. Taking a deep breath and exhaling Luz made her way to the entrance to meet Lucia.
When Luz got outside she saw Lucia just pulling up to the curb on her Night Owl custom motorcycle. Lucia appears very much like Luz but older, with long hair, and wearing an armored trench coat; and looking to the entrance sees Luz and says, "so little sis, have you finally found a place that we can settle down at and actually start living together as a family."
Luz looks Lucia in her eyes and says, "even better I found a whole new place where we can live."
Lucia not impressed looks at Luz with a serious expression and replies, "like that one place in Pacifica, because if you've forgotten; Pacifica is the Night City combat zone. A combat zone is a terrible place to run a business from; if you care about both your own safety and that of your clients."
Luz remembering the place looks Lucia in the eyes and says with total determination, "I remember, but this place is totally safe and well you got to see it yourself because if I told you about it you wouldn't believe me at all."
Lucia seeing the absolute determination in Luz's eyes and honesty in her voice says, "Alright, show me this place because I really need a shop, and doing what my craft on the streets is not a very good business practice..." Lucia grips the handlebars of her motorcycle, "...Of cause, I'm taking my bike with me because this is Maelstorm turf and I'd rather not have to shell out eight-in-a-half thousand eddies just to rebuild her."
Luz remembering that they're in Maelstorm turf says, "sure, bring it I forgot that this is Maelstrom turf."
Luz leads Lucia who's beside her bike through the mega block complex to the doorway that leads to the owl house. When they get to the doorway Luz stops and turning to Lucia says, "alright just through this doorway is the place, and before you cast judgment just go out the other door and fire a bullet into the air."
Lucia slightly confused none-the-less nods and passes through the doorway with Luz right behind.
Lucia enters an interestingly decorated apartment with Luz right behind her. Lucia looks to Luz who gestures to a door. Lucia knowing what she agreed to let go of her motorcycle. She then walks over to the door and opens it to see a world free of the buildings and pollution of Night City. Lucia stepping out smells the air and it's clean of any pollution. Lucia then pulls out her gun which is an X-38 and holding it straight up in the air pulls the trigger and doesn't hear the pang of a round hitting or smashing through concrete. Lucia looks to Luz who is standing in the doorway. Lucia walks over to Luz and says, "I'll keep this place secret if I can stay with you, agreed."
Luz smiles and says with honesty, "actually the owner of the house has the final say and you'd also need to work for her if you want to stay. I wanted you to know that this is a place that those who we can trust can go to and escape the poverty and violence of the world we were born into."
Lucia understanding what Luz just said replies with her arms crossed, "well, working for the lady who is letting you live and work for is a whole lot more of a better deal than working out of some alley." Lucia then starts looking around and asks, "so where is this lady who is also your boss."
Luz rubs the back of her neck and gestures for Lucia to come inside and says, "she won't be back until later tonight and I could show you around the place in the meantime."
Lucia smiles then nods to Luz and they both spend time together.
Lucia walking back inside and Luz closes the door. Luz then gestures to the room they're currently in and says, "this is the commons room, is for basically anything that you do to relax." Luz then guides Lucia to another room and says, "this is the kitchen and dining room, this is where food is prepared, cooked, served, and eaten." Luz then leads Lucia to another door then opens it to show a room with a bunch of random stuff in it and says, "this is a storage room." Luz then leads Lucia up a flight of stairs to the second floor.
Luz stops at the top of the stairs and waits for Lucia to climb to the second floor. When Lucia got to the second floor Luz continued showing Lucia around the house. Luz showed Lucia the bathroom, her room which is a storage room with a sleeping roll on the ground, several other miscellaneous rooms, and Edas bedroom. Luz looks at Lucia and asks with a smile, "that's the entire house what'cha think."
Lucia looks to Luz and says, "I think it's paradise compared to Night City." And Lucia then smiles.
Then they hear the front door open and close and they both headed to the staircase which over looked the living room.
When they got to the staircase they saw a pale woman in a red dress with a staff. It's then that Luz called out, "hey, Eda." Luz then gestures to Lucia, "meet my sister, Lucia."
Eda looking up saw Luz standing next to a woman standing next to her. Eda noticed that Lucia looked just like Luz just older. Eda already knowing what Lucia wanted preemptively replied, "Lucia can stay but she'll have to pull her own weight around here."
Luz and Lucia smiled then Lucia said with a determined tone, "oh, I plan to pull my own weight." Lucia then left leaving Eda and Luz alone.
Luz went down to the first floor and looking Eda in her eyes spoke in a serious tone, "you know, I am sixteen."
Eda not sure what that meant asked, "what does that mean."
Luz still looking Eda in her eyes says, "what it means is that I'm now old enough to get minor cybernetic enhancements."
Eda now understanding then said, "whatever you choose know that it's on you, not me." Eda then reopened the doorway-portal and Owlbert entered the room with a full sack. It's when Owlbert stopped dragging the sack and let go of it did Eda start rummaging through it for junk to potentially sell.
Luz pleased with how well that went left to find where Lucia is going to set up her ripper-doc clinic and workshop.
Going back upstairs Luz looked for Lucia going from room to room. It's when Luz got to the last door which was at the end of the hall past her room to the right. Luz opened the door to see Lucia getting things stowed in boxes and organized. Luz knew then that Lucia had claimed that room for herself and entering the room helped Lucia store, organize and move the stuff out of the room. Luz and Lucia worked silently the whole time as they organized and moved the boxes of stuff to the room across the hall. Luz and Lucia keep working on clear out the room well into the night; once they finish Lucia asks, "so... mind if spend the night with you. (yawn) I'm tired and I still need to clean the room."
Luz nod and replied simply, "sure."
Lucia looking toward Luz says, "great, I'll get my sleeping bag and wait for me outside your room."
Luz knowing Lucia didn't know where her room is replied, "I'll wait for you, sis."
Luz and Lucia felt the room; Lucia to her motorcycle, and Luz to her room. When Lucia came back upstairs she saw Luz standing next to the first door to the left. Lucia walks over and Luz opens the door to show Luz has made herself comfortable. Lucia walks to the area to the right of Luz and lays out her sleeping bag side-by-side with Luzs and gets comfortable.
Once Lucia lays out her sleeping arrangements she changes into her sleep ware just as Luz does the same. Lucia's sleep ware consists of: no top with D-cup breasts hanging free, black panties, and white socks with dark blue soles.
Luz looks at Lucias' breasts with clear jealousy. Lucia seeing this says, "yours will grow just give them time." Lucia then lays down on her sleeping bag; with Luz doing the same. Before Luz can fully drift off to sleep Lucia wraps her arms around Luz and pulls her in, pressing Luz against her front and says, "I missed you so much, and to be honest I was scared and worried about you and our other siblings...at least those that I know are still alive."
Luz never seeing this side of Lucia is speechless. Luz feeling the warmth from Lucia, and listen to her heartbeat Luz drifts off to sleep feeling totally safe while in the embrace of her big sister, Lucia.
Once Luz is sleeping deeply Lucia also starts to feel the call of sleep, but before she falls asleep she says, "I love you, more than a sister should." Lucia then also falls asleep.
Outside the room, Eda listened in and could help but feel that perhaps taking-in others who have lived a far harder life than anyone should is the right thing to do. After that thought, Eda made her way to her bedroom and thought over what she actually knew of the human realm and her home before she finally succumbed to the siren call of sleep.
a/n: This is an introduction for Lucia. Who is based on beta Luz, and yes I have Lucia set to be a mix of ripper doc and engineer. In case you don't know cyberpunk terminology ripper docs are people to implant cyberware; while engineers build stuff. So, basically Lucia builts her own stuff and can implant cybernetics in people.
