It was the middle of the week and Yuki had decided to close her little computer repair shop early for the day. She had fixed all the computers anyway, the walls just felt like they where closing in and she needed some fresh air. Lucky walked by her side as always and they where soon joined by Sunny who happened to be near by. "Heeey! decided to close early huh?" Sunny asked with a smile. Yuki nodded, "Yeah... I need some air.. I want to go to the park, is the middle of the day on a Wednesday.. It should be mostly quiet.." Yuki said as she walked holding onto her bag tightly. Soon they reached the park and Yuki sat down on a beach and took out her tablet she had made herself. She then used her powers to turn it on and started to read some books she had down loaded onto it. Lucky laid by Yuki's feet though kept his eyes opened watching everything around them.
Sunny however got bored quickly and started to wonder the park a bit.

"IZZACK!" Sierra threw her arms up in excitement, along with her voice. "It's Wednesday!" She turned on one heel, balancing on one foot as she faced her cloaked friend. "Do you know what that means?!"
"It... means there's less people in the park...?"
"No!" The rabbit woman objected, pointing at his pale face, though she quickly dropped her stance. "...Wait. Does it?" She grabbed at her chin, tilting her head. She rocked her head back and forth a few moments before turning around to scan the horizons. She then slapped her hand on her forehead, shielding her eyes from the light as she leaned forward to look around. They were exaggerated, sweeping movements - honestly, it was almost cartoonish - but it really emphasized how seriously she'd taken Izzack's guess. Another second had passed and she'd snapped back into an upright position.
"Huh! I guess you're right!" Sierra nodded proudly. She plopped down on the grass in front of him. She'd never thought about it before, but... that made sense. If she was normally out trying to stop crime, she'd never have a chance to visit the park with her new friend! The only reason she could do that today was... Well...
Sierra frowned, though her brow was furrowed in thought. Her gaze had gone to the ground as she recalled the mishap that led up to her even meeting Izzack in the first place. Sure, Izzack seemed okay enough after the little misunderstanding (or at least Sierra thought so) but her Cappytain wasn't so happy with her breaking into someone's house. Again. Now she was "temporarily suspended" while-
No! No bad thoughts! That's not why we're here!
Sierra snapped out of her temporary gloom as she shot her gaze back up to Izzack. He was pretty tall, but frankly, she didn't even realize just how tall he was until she was seated on the ground like this. It almost startled her.
"How come you're so tall?!" She blurted out. It was a genuine question from an innocent train of thought - she hadn't considered it sounding malicious. As if to underscore her point, she craned her head backwards until she plopped her back onto the grass. "...Wowie." She raised her arms up with a small flail. "So tall~!"

"I...uh...I...don't know?" Izzack managed to say through his mental whiplash at Sierra's sudden change of subject. As it was, he would have liked to know where she was going with her talk of Wednesday being important. If anything, that might have explained why she had dragged him out here on what appeared to be nothing but a whim.
"Um...anyway...why is it so important? Th-that it's Wednesday, I mean? Is today special for you, or something?" turns out, wrangling back a topic in a conversation was actually quite difficult if you were horrible at social interactions. Still, anything to keep Sierra's mind off of Izzack and his...height. It was then that Izzack realized that he was still standing while Sierra...well, wasn't. Carefully, he lowered himself, resting on his knees. He didn't look relaxed. In fact, he looked like he was ready to jump at the first hint of danger. Still, it was probably better than him just towering over his companion.
He looked around the park, partly admiring the view, and partly scanning for disaster, and, more importantly, other people. "It's very nice out..." he muttered under his breath, seeming to relax as he didn't notice anybody too nearby.

Yuki happily settled in reading her digital Book when a sudden loud voice startled her. She jumped a little and then looked around to see a odd looking pair that where also in the park. A woman with rabbit ears and a man wearing a battered looking robe. Yuki stared at them for a few minutes before giving a soft sigh and went back to reading. This was Aster city after all, many non humans and or magic and people with powers lived here.. She counted herself among them rather she liked it or not. Lucky let out a soft growl as he lifted his head and looked at Sierra and Izzack. " Too loud..." Lucky mumbled. Yuki smiled and reached down and petted Lucky to calm him.
Mean while Sierra's loudness also caught Sunny's attention. She smiled as she looked over at Sierra and Izzack. "" Ho ho ho.. What do we have here?" Sunny mused to herself as she made her way over to them. However she did not say anything she wanted to tease them a bit and let them think she was a normal cat at first, watching people's shocked reactions never got old.

"Um...anyway...why is it so important? Th-that it's Wednesday, I mean? Is today special for you, or something?"
"Hmm?" Sierra pushed herself back up to a seated position. She tilted her head again for a moment, then let off a big shrug. "I dunno!" She admitted. "That's why I was asking you!" She couldn't help but chuff out a small laugh. "I mean, one time I heard some kids out of high school laughing about it being Wednesday, so I thought maybe it was some weird human thing I didn't know about...? And you're human, so..." She trailed off, letting the thought speak for itself. It only made sense to ask another human, yeah? After all, Izzack was human.
...Wait. He was human, wasn't he...?
Before Sierra could blurt out her thoughts about this, her hearing had caught Izzack's soft note about how pleasant it was today. She blinked at the sentiment, before following his earlier movements and glancing around the park. He was right - the weather was fine and the air was fresh! The grass was green! And Sierra got to enjoy it with her new friend!
"...Yeah!" Sierra squeaked out in enthusiastic agreement. "It is nice!" She flopped backwards onto the grass again. "And we can enjoy it together!" She laughed, rolling back and forth excitedly. When she finally stopped, she'd noticed the cat approaching them and rolled onto her stomach.
"Kitty!" Sierra gasped dramatically. She glanced back at Izzack. "Look! Look! Izzack!" She pointed at Sunny for extra emphasis. "Cat!" She kicked her legs against the ground in excitement, though the kicking abruptly stopped. "...Are you good with them, Izzack?" She glanced back at the feline in thought. "I've never really been around cats..."

I-you-you mean...I don't know, Sierra." Izzack floundered only briefly before accepting defeat. There seemed to be no real hope in ever properly understanding this girl. Still, she was happy, and that counted for something, and even an awkward conversation was worth its weight in gold for a man like him, who struggled to speak to people in general.
wrapped up in his thoughts as he was, he didn't notice the cat at all until Sierra practically forced him to focus directly on it. "Ah. It is a cat. I suppose I'm okay at dealing with them, but you never know, some cats can be...temperamental. Like people...I guess. You just gotta...you know...let it decide if it wants to be friends." he stifled his urge to call out to the cat with some effort. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of one of the few sentient people who tolerated him. "Do you see anything nearby? Th-that might make it come over, I mean."

Sunny watched the two and smiled as it seemed this Sierra was a ball of Sierra energy. She is definitely cute and seemed like a fun person to be around. Her buddy seemed a lot like Yuki however, timid and shy. Yeah she has not officially met the two just yet but she already liked them. Sunny stood there as the pair took notice of her and started to discuss rather or not if Izzack was good around cats then how they could get her to come over to them. "These two are just so cute! I love them already." Sunny thought to herself as she looked at Sierra and Izzack.
Yuki mean while was looking over at what Sunny was doing time to time as she read off her tablet. "Sunny, don't bother them to much please." Yuki said projecting her thoughts to her robotic cat. " Awww I wont!" Was Sunny's reply. The robotic cat then moved closer to Sierra and Izzack without any prompting. "Hello I'm Sunny, nice to meet ya." She said with a smile.
Lucky rolled his eyes as he laid by Yuki's feet. "She is such a busybody" he mumbled. Yuki giggled softly but went back to her reading.
A little ways off walking closer to them was a small time gang leader with his two of his gang members. He walked as if he owned the sidewalk and glared at anyone who dared look at him. Soon he come up on Yuki and her fancy looking tablet. Hmmmm That could be worth something.." He thought to himself with a smirk. As he walked by he stretched his arm out like rubber and snatched Yuki's tablet. It turned off as soon as it was taken from her. " Whoah! H-" Yuki started to protest but froze when she saw the three thugs. The rubber dude looked at Yuki and held up her tablet mockingly. " Thanks for the tablet.." He said. However one of the goons grabbed Yuki by the wrist, Heey you kinda cute... Lets have some fun.." He said as his buddy laughed. GAHHHH OWW!" The thug that grabbed Yuki would cry out as Lucky bit him in the leg hard. Yuki then took out her hand made gun powering it up and blasted the guy with enough volts equivalent to power of a taser gun. The man then fell to the ground. The rubber dude was not pleased nether was the other gang member " You little b***." The Rubber guy growled and in a panic Yuki shot off another shot but it did not effect the Rubber guy. He laughed, "Nice try.." He said.
The commotion caught Sunny's attention. "AH!!! YUKI!"" Sunny would cry out as she then took off in a dash She brought out her claws and jumped the rubber dude scratching him. Thanks to her special claws she was able to do some damage. AHHHH WHAT THE HELL". Rubber dude cried out as he tried to get Sunny off him and Lucky was taking on the other guy at the moment.

Sierra gasped again. "KITTY TALKED!" Her ears straightened in excitement as she shot a gleeful look toward Izzack. "Hi, kitty! Or I guess Sunny!" She sat up. "I'm Sierra! This is Izzack! He's my friend!" She motioned backwards towards the pale faced man. Sierra glanced around, then leaned forward. "He's also magiiiic." She whispered loudly, then returned to normal speaking voice. "Oh! Are you magic, too?!"
Sierra's enthusiastic line of questioning was quickly halted by Sunny taking off. Her gaze followed the mysterious feline, watching Sunny spring into action.
"AAAH!" Sierra yelped as the scene unfolded in front of them. "Izzack! Izzack!" The rabbit launched herself onto her feet. "We! We gotta do something!" She flailed one arm, but used the other to help the reaper onto his own feet. "Trouble! She's in trouble! We gotta heeelp!" Sierra shrieked out her last word before suddenly leaping in Yuki's direction.
"Stop! Being! Baaaad!" Came Sierra's scolding cry as she bounded toward the scene. Doing what bunnies did best, she leapt off the ground as hard as she could and sailed through the air, aiming a dropkick directly at the girl's main harasser.

Izzack was rather surprised by Sunny's sudden talkativeness. He was about to speak, until he found himself caught up in a whirlwind of events. First was Sierra's excitement over a cat that could talk, then there was the sudden focus on him to make an introduction, immediately followed by a change of subject before he could even say hello.
Oh, and then there was what looked to be highly illegal activity that demanded absolutely all their attention.
"Ah, be careful!" he called out as Sierra charged in. With that out of the way, he began chanting a spell. He wasn't too sure what he was looking to cast, but he had an idea or two, but he wanted to cast slowly, as to hopefully make sure he didn't accidentally hit the wrong person stupidly.

Sunny looked up as Sierra came in for the attack. "!!" Suuny then retracted her claws and jumped off the rubber dude as the bunny girl's drop kick hit its mark. Sunny whistled, "Nice!"" she said. The rubber guy was knocked off his feet and pounced a few times before coming to a stop. While the other goon was having issues with Lucky who still has his teeth in the man. " Get the F*** off me!" He yelled swinging his foot trying to get the robo dog off him. Lucky let go and moved back a bit as he growled at the gang member. Times like this he really wished he had a bigger body! Lucky then charged at the goon did a fake out making the goon attack but miss. Lucky then turned around and head butted the guy in the butt making the goon fall flat on his face.
Rubber guy mean while got up and glared at Sierra. " A F**** Bunny... he spat anger. He then enlarged his hand and formed a fist then made a swing aimed for Sierra.
Yuki stood there as she watched helplessly as her friends now fought for her and now the other two who where in the bark also jumping in. That guy... His body seemed to be like rubber! So her current gun would have no effect! Yuki then looked over at Izzack who seemed to be debating on what type of spell to use. "U-u-use a ice spell! I--t will make it harder for him to stretch!" Yuki called back to Izzack as she started to fumble with her bag as she was now tryin to switch out something in her gun.

Dropkicks sure packed a punch - or a kick, rather - but they were called dropkicks for a reason! "Oof!" Sierra yelped as her entire body landed on the ground. She'd probably hurt a bit later, but that wasn't important. Even if she was on time out from her job, it didn't mean she still couldn't help someone!
Of course, taking the initiative was mostly adrenaline. Sierra always meant well, but her kind was skittish at heart. When she was faced with danger, it was fight or flight, and she usually only had a second to make that choice. As she sprung back to her feet, the man she'd attacked had also recovered, and Sierra's eyes widened as she noticed him readying a giant fist. Despite this, she'd managed to catch what Yuki had called out. Ice spell...? Sierra didn't know magic...
Oh! Right! Izzack! She must've meant Izzack!
Sierra herself couldn't risk taking her eyes off the threat, but she trusted that Izzack could hit this guy! After all, he looked kind of old, and old usually meant experience! And magic was... well, magic!
Readying herself to spring aside out of harms' way, Sierra was confident that Izzack could pull it off.

At first, Yuki's words had not registered to Izzack as a command. Concentrated as he was, he hardly even noticed people were talking, let alone to him. As the realization hit him, he briefly lost concentration, causing him to accidentally discharge several bolts of magical, multi-colored light. He regained control quickly, but it definitely wasn't a very confidence reinforcing move.
"Cold...cold...cold" he muttered, incorporating the word into his chant. It wasn't needed specifically for him to cast a icy spell, but...well, for him it was, if only to aid him in his concentration. After a short period of this chanting, his spell began. Rather than just a flashy burst of ice, there was more of a sudden and extreme loss of heat around the rubber man, as if Izzack was pulling the warmth rapidly out of the area. For safety's sake, he had aimed the spell at the man's waist, and down to the ground directly under him, making it icy. It might not be extremely powerful this way, but there was less of a chance of grievous bodily harm. Even if this guy seemed like the scum of the earth, Izzack didn't want to be responsible for...well, best not to think of things like that. "Strike now!" he called out as he finished his spell, pulling the heat he took from the thug, and taking it into himself, which made him seem to glow a dull red for a few moments.

Yuki's heart was racing but her mind was clear, she worked at changing the core of her gun to change it from a taser to a ice gun. As she did this the mage looking guy was able to freeze the rubber guy from the waist down. With one last click Yuki had changed her gun and powered it up, and a cold air could be seen coming from the gun. She then shot off a few rounds, aiming for rubber guy's arms and hands. "AGH" Rubber guy cried out as it felt like his body was freezing up. He was now frozen from the waist down and had now ice shots had been taken to his arms and hands. Just as Yuki predicted it slowed his movements and he was no longer able to stretch.
With that the battle was won, Yuki looked around and saw her now broken tablet on the ground. "Gotta get out of here.." Yuki said softly as she then powered down her gun placing it back in her bag and ran to retrieve her broken tablet. She then quickly put it away. Yuki looked at Izzack and Sierra, she gave them a small smile and nodded in thanks before she started to walk away. She did not want to be here for long... If police where called she did not want to be questioned... It would most likely end badly if they saw her gun.. Lucky and Sunny where quick to follow after Yuki, though Sunny looked back at Izzack and Sierra. "Thanks guys! Though you may wanna get out of here to!" Sunny suggested as she followed after Yuki.

Sierra couldn't believe it! This man was being frozen alive in front of her eyes! Woah! Was that okay?! Though, he did attack first... at least, she thought he did... Well, whatever! The girl who needed help was leaving, and the cat seemed to be running off with her!
"Hey! Wait!" Sierra started to chase after them, but quickly turned on her heel to face Izzack. Usually, she wouldn't consider others so easily, but something about Izzack was different. She couldn't really explain it, but whatever it was, it was enough that made her remember he was around. Plus, they were friends now! And a friend couldn't just leave another friend behind!
"Hey! Hey! C'mon!" Sierra bounded toward the still faintly glowing Izzack. She grabbed at his sleeve (which was surprisingly warm, like it had just come out of the dryer or something) and tugged him along in Yuki's direction. By this point, the pair hadn't known each other long, but Sierra eagerly dragging Izzack along had quickly become a pattern. "The kitty left! With that girl!" She exclaimed to him as she ran along. "Even if the bad guy was stopped, we should at least see if she's okay!"

Well, that was a job well done, and with no awkward "meeting with the victim" afterwards! These situations were very rare for Izzack, so he made it a point to savor them when he-
What.
Oh no.
Sierra was a people person.
Izzack only had a few moments to lament his fate as Sierra dragged him along by his robe sleeve. "Maybe she doesn't want people checking on her! Maybe, oh, I don't know, maybe she has crippling social anxiety! You know, it's more common than you might think!" he protested, though he didn't struggle too much. After all, hate it as he may, this was part of being a hero...right? Making sure the people you help are okay?
Well, it was a part of being a hero he'd honestly like to do away with, but his companion seemed to vehemently disagree. There was no fighting it, he supposed, but at least he could try to make it go by...quickly, if at all possible. "Uh...miss?" he called out tentatively, "Are you okay? A simple 'Yes' would be fine!" he offered, hoping against hope that it would, indeed, be fine for the lunatic lapine lass beside him.
