Noelle gives him a very evil eye, "How do I know your not some pervert?" she now wished she had chosen to wear a much longer dress, "and fine but no funny business." she crosses her arms, "Mercenary? I honestly never had much on my mind besides where my next meal is coming from and who's ass I am going to kick to get it. And no, I haven't."

The man laughed, "well everyone has to have somebody." he said as they arrived at the hospital.

As he walked back to the plaza Leo noticed a lone guard carrying a assault rifle marching around the plaza. *Leo thinking* (Hmm... should I engage him..? I can sense he's alone but... aww why not?) Leo charged at the lone guard, sword drawn. The guard saw him coming from a mile away and fired several shots at him. Leo easily deflected them with his sword.

The guard realised he needed to change tactics, dropped the gun and brung out his combat knife, slashing Leo on his cheek. "Tch! Damn you!" he said as he slashed at the guard. Easily deflecting his attacks, the guard slashed again but missed, giving Leo a opening. He was able to slash his arm off and followed up with a leg sweep, sweeping the guard off his feet. "Please, I have a family!" Leo paused for a moment.. "I HAD one too. Know my pain!" he said as he thrusted his sword into the mans chest.

"Geez, more trouble then you were worth.." said Leo as he took his opponents weapons and stuffed them in the backpack. Leo headed back unaware of a spectator..

Lance smiled and gently picked the girl up on his back and began jumping roof to roof being careful to not drop the women "Well, Are you new to this town?" He paused jumping for a moment to be aware of his surroundings he noticed Leo killing the poor lone guard and shook his head "That boy needs to learn" He mumbled to him self as he began jumping again

Lance had reach the alley way of charlies Rebellion Hide out he jumped to the Balcony gently letting the women down and knocking on the door "Charlie! Are you in here? I have someone who needs to meet you"

"I guess you could say that." Noelle replies, praying this crazy dude doesn't drop her, "but than, I usually don't stay in one place long. Things have been getting, well.. crazy."

Jason nodded slowly and pushed through the swinging doors intote rebel hospital and let out a small woof like sound as he glanced straight up to meet the end of a double barrel shot gun that was aimed at him first. "Password?" The elderly looking man huffed out in a grumbling tone. "Charmaine's frost." Jason said the words accented with a low rumbling growl as he sat down on his rump. "She sent a round of daily meals as normal Jud so calm down and put the damned thing down before you kill me on accident." Growling as he shook his head. "Fine fine Jas, but first you need explain who this is?" Pointing to Darc with his gun. "Guest from Charlie, so just calm down already."

Charlie appeared at the door of her restaurant and raised a brow at Lance before looking at the girl. "Ooookay....Ummm another new person?" Sighing she stepped back to let them come through as he held the door open. "Get your plates of food and eat. Then we can talk."

Darc smiled softly as he handed the back pack over to the man, "Hows it going?" he asked.

A second guard, hiding on a nearby rooftop watched everything that had unfolded between Leo and the guard. Unknown to Leo he was there, the guard fired a rocket launcher shell at Leo. Unfortunately, Leo heard it go off before it even left the launcher. "Aw, damn it! My only option would be to evade it!" He said.

He took cover behind a bazaar stand. When the shell hit the plaza, it exploded in a glory of intense heat and shrapnel. Which severely injured Leo, ripping the karate Gi he was wearing to shreds. "Huff.. gotta make a quick escape.." He threw a smoke bomb down on the already shrouded in smoke, destroyed plaza. Making his way back to the balcony of Charlies restaurant...

Lance frowned at her hospitality "Im not hungry" He huffed and pulled out a small wallet pulling out several hundred dollar bills and handing them over to charlie "Here, its for this woman her name is noelle. She hasn't eaten in quite sometime so i got her this" Lance hands over the food he bought from the shop to Charlie "I figured you could cook this for all the new people" Lance walked to the edge of the balcony and looked up towards the sky before jumping across the alley way to the roof tops "I wont tell the guards of this place as long as you never saw me"

Passing by Lance as he jumped into the alley. "Well hello to you too then..." he said. As Leo staggered into the restaurant he noticed a new face. "Why hello there! I'm Leo and you are...?" He said as he plopped down on the sofa exhausted. "Oh, Charlie, here are the supplies you asked for..." Handing them to her.

Charlie frowned as she narrowed her eyes at Lance, turned to eye the woman and sighed as she was handed the stuff. "Umm... Wait." Grumbling as Lance took off, she rolled her eyes and waved for Noelle to follow her. "I swear most of the men that I meet are dense. You only pay when you don't want to work for your food. Breakfast is still hot on the buffet against that wall. Help yourself to all you want, but I'll need your help cooking lunch if you don't mind." Stopping mid stride she turned to look at Leo. "What the...." Eyes going wide for a moment, she slapped her forehead and cursed under her breath. "Should have known to send Jason with YOU instead of Darc. You did seem like the one to get in more trouble after all." Grumbling as she pointed from Noelle to the buffet. "You eat. Leo you follow me upstairs and we'll bandage you up before I decide to kill you."

"so what do we do now that we brought this stuff here?" Darc asked jason.

Jason watched as Jed took the food that they had brought and wandered off down through the hallway. "We go back. Though we should probably stop and pick up a few things at the store on our way back." Sighing as watched Jed come back with a change of clothes. "You'll need these if you're changing forms to go shopping." Grumbling as he dropped them on the floor and left them to their own devices. Jason moved into a large supply closet, took a moment to change forms and dress before he reappeared. "Alright lets go."

"Heh heh.. almost getting killed twice today kinda makes you saying it worthwhile.." Leo said dazed as he staggeringly followed Charlie.

She turned and narrowed her eyes at him, the feeling of any emotions dropping out of them like a stone sinking into a pond. "Don't even think about any more smart remarks. I'll leave you to Ted's tender care if you want me to." Stopping at the bathroom door as she waited for a reply from him. The truth was that she had that touch of the motherly care when it came to the rebels that stayed at her restaurant. "No more? Good. Now let's get those wounds cleaned and dressed before an infection sets in. Do you need tissues beforehand in case the cleaning makes you tear up?" Her words held a cold sting as she attempted to tease him.

ooc: Gotta head to bed early tonight guys. Sorry *bows* I have to work the 5am shift tomorrow, but I'll be home earlier then normal. ;) So see you guys then!

Darc followed Jason to the stores to pick up supplies, "You dont seem to like clothes much." he said laughing.

"Ha ha, your remarks are as good as your hospitality." Leo said jokingly. "Eh I don't really need treatment, letting the wounds heal by themself will toughen my skin" he said tiredly.

After a few hours of being gone lance jumped into the balcony landing and straight into the building sitting in the chair he recently had propped on the wall. He notices that Leo is in there sitting on a couch Lance glares at him with hatred and disgust. "You kill men with no reason other than emotional pain." He scowled off as he pulled his bandana up over his mouth.

"Mercenaries are looked at badly because of people like you. We run around killing people who do bad things and you simply kill a man because he's a guard that works to feed his children..You are pathetic" If there was anything Lance hated it was people who killed without a just cause. "Because of your foolish actions that rocket destroyed several home and cost people to become homeless. Did you even think of that?"

After going around the shops with Jason Darc headed back to the hideout.

After hearing this, Leo laughed uncontrollably. "Who the hell do you think are? Throwing around your beliefs and what not... who said I was a mercenary? I just fight to survive, if anyone gets in my way I'll destroy them before they destroy me. That's how the cycle has always been. Collateral damage was inevitable, as long as I can survive... stop throwing around your sentiments and own up." Leo laughed a bit. "And I'm the pathetic one..."

Darc walked into the room, "How is it going everyone?" he said sitting down in a chair and relaxing.

Lance stood up glaring at leo "You could have avoided that entire battle! Yet you ran out blindly over some stupid petty emotional problem! Your right you aren't a Mercenary. Calling you a mercenary would tarnish its name. You fight blindly and foolishly you act as if battling is a big game" Lance unsheathes his sword and slams it through a table "fighting is about honor and you have none" Lance stood up looked at Darc to angry to say hi even though he wanted to and sat on the balcony"

"wow looks like i walked into a huge argument." he said as he looked at Leo, "whats going on?" he asked.

"Not much. Leo said calmly. Just people venting their anger at one another. Hey, Lance, if it's any consolation I had fun fighting the guard. It wasn't a game I know, but still enjoyable. He was going to die eventually, Why not by my blade?" Leo asked, staring up at the ceiling.

"you got into more trouble didnt you?" darc asked.

Lance didn't say a word till he heard his name being spoke of as lance.. He growled and looked over at Leo. "Where did you hear that name?!!" He didn't let most people know his true name he had told that women noelle He wasn't sure why but he could not lie to her. "Don't call me that" He began staring out into the sky once more.

"Tee-hee, of course I did! It's my specialty isn't it?" Leo said with a devlish grin on his face. "Right, I won't call you it anymore..." Leo said. "Hm... hope Charlie dosen't get word of our little outburst.." he said thinking aloud.

Darc shook his head, "i told you there would be plenty of fighting in the future, and you run straight into a fight that wasnt needed, and even more so when you were specifically told to be careful and try to stay out of trouble." Darc crossed his arms and had a dissapointed look on his face.

Lance stands up and grabs his sword "Im going for a stroll" he said calmly with a cold voice. "Leo, Just sit and think for once what your actions do to people" Lance moved to the balcony and jumped across to the rooftops and strolled along the tops.

"Fighting is just my way of having fun. So long as I have fun, what's the big deal...?" Leo said, the truth of his actions finally starting to dawn him. "I mean.. he shot first.. it was a act of self-defense..."

Darc looked at Leo, "if you truly want to fight and have fun at the same time then sparring would be a good thing for you." he said. "it would help your skills grow and wont cost anyone their lives and it would make you ready," darc said, "for when you need to take lives," he added staring into Leos eyes.

Noticing Darc looking at him. "The hell are you boring into my eyes for?" He asked slightly annoyed. "Yeah, where are you getting at here, Darc? I'm not one for sermons." He asked.

"nothing just making a point that you can fight without killing people." Darc said as he stood up, "I think ill go onto the roof and enjoy the sky." he said going through the windo and onto the roof.

Leo, alone in the restaurant got lost in his thoughts. He decided to take a walk into town to clear his head. Bringing his sword and his other equipment, he headed out the door.

Lance sat at on the rooftops staring at the sky. "Why do i care all of the sudden what is this feeling?" Lance grimaced and laid back with his hand behind his head. This wasn't natural he had a few comrades that he used to care about but.. he hadn't seen them in ages..he missed them infact, he missed having a close freind.

"Ahhh so your up here to?" Darc said with a laugh as he was walking on the roof searching for a spot to lay down.

Lance stayed quiet as he glanced at the stars it was almost as if he was lost in his own thoughts unaware of the outside world. his eyes glanced down for a quick second as he saw darc lay down he jumped up trying to figure out when he got there "Where did you come from" his voice numb almost as if he was hiding an emotion.

"Pretty much just now i acknowledged you but you didnt say anything." Darc said laughing, "I also like laying under the stars to relax and think about things." He looked over at Lance, "and you seemed to be in some major thinking of your own..." he said, "cause i would have thought such an expert mercenary would have noticed another walking only 5 feet by him." he laughed.

Lance grumbled a bit shifting around and laying back once more "Not, alot of people can reach this area and if they do they wouldn't dream of getting near me" His face frowned his mind started to race off again [why does this man care anyways? Its not like i have done anything for him]. He grimaced and looked over at darc. "Hey pal just because I slept there last night doesn't mean we are friends. I only trust my fellow comrades and none of them are here." His chesire smile appeared as he thought of all the good times he had with his friends "I only create freinds through battle, or watching them battle"

Darc shrugged, "I never said we were friends did i?" he laughed, "I just treat people nicely unless they get on my bad side." he said, "But ill leave you to your lonesome if that is what you wish." he added.
