Yuki was fast walking to get away, adrenaline had been coursing through her body but now it was starting to fade and a panic attack was started to set in. "That...
happened... That really happened... Oh my god...." Yuki would start to repeat over and over as her eyes grew wide and her body started to tremble. She had been pretty lucky up to this point and never had to draw her gun.
"Yuki come on lets go home..." Lucky said in worried tone.
Sunny hated to see Yuki like this... If she could she would go back and scratch those thugs faces so bad not even their mothers recognize them! Her tail flicked angerly but soon a voice calling out to them made her ears twitch and she looked back to see the two from the park coming over. Oh? What's this? Sunnny tilted her head as she looked at the odd duo. Hmmm this could be interesting.
Yuki froze when Izzack called out to her, her heart was still racing and her anxiety was skyrocketing.
Lucky turned and started to growl and was about to say something but Sunny was quick to smack him.
" Hush you... This could be a good opportunity for Yuki to make some friends other then just us." Sunny hissed in a low tone.
Lucky glared at Sunny but he had to agree... So he stopped growling but would keep a eye on these two strangers.
"I...I'm... ok...." Yuki said in a soft tone looking down at the ground. As tears started to from in her eyes and she wiped them away.
Sunny looked at Yuki then back at Sierra and Izzack and shook her head.

Sierra's bountiful energy came to an abrupt stop. She wasn't good at remembering faces, but she was okay at understanding expressions, and even better at detecting fear or sadness. Or at least, she liked to think so; despite her excitable and naive exterior, she was pretty jumpy and scared of a lot of things herself! Like the dog at the girl's side. Ooh, she didn't like the look it was giving her... Dogs were scary.
Still, she caught the sound of Sunny muttering something to the canine. Though the wind in her ears from running had prevented her from hearing it clearly, it seemed to get him to stand down. With one worry slightly calmed, Sierra turned her eyes up from the girl's companions and focused on Yuki herself.
"H-Hey...!" Sierra tried to reassure her, though even she stammered for a moment. She cleared her throat and then raised a hand in greeting. "Hi! I'm Sierra! This is Izzack!" She motioned to him behind her, speaking with the same enthusiasm she'd used in introducing themselves to Sunny. Izzack himself seemed a bit gloomy and haggard, but if someone as bubbly and outgoing as Sierra seemed to trust him, then perhaps there was more to him than just a strange vagrant.
"We just wanted to make sure, but are you sure you're okay? You don't seem okay!" Sierra frowned. It sounded a bit insensitive, but she really did mean well. "I mean, unless you were hurt or something! You're not hurt, are you? Izzack might be able to magic up a fix to an ouchie!" She nodded. "Because unlike that guy, we're good guys!" She nodded again. "Like! When you guys froze that guy! That was pretty cool!" She paused. "...Heehee. Cool." Sierra smiled to herself, looking to Izzack with childish pride. "I did a pun!"

"Uh...hi, nice to-Sierra, mayb-uh, I don't know how to hea-I like to thi-uh...yes, Sierra. I understood it." Izzack mumbled throughout Sierra's little spiel, never really talking loud enough to draw that much attention to himself. He didn't seem to be disappointed with not being able to speak his piece, however. In fact, he looked almost relieved. Of course, this was one of the few benefits of Sierra's outgoing nature, besides her willingness to stick around his gloomy and pathetic self, of course. With her around, he could, well, hopefully he could be free of most of the...interaction portion of "Human interaction"
"If...I mean...We can help with things, if you need something." he managed, trying his best to sound friendly, but the best he got was "uncomfortably strained". "Guy...probably won't show his face for a long time...that's...good, right?" he offered. He was almost certain that was good news, but what if Sierra had pulled them into some kind of...personal situation?
Oh no.
Sierra just pulled them into some big fight between two people who know each other, and it wasn't really that big of a thing, but they turned it into a thing and now they ruined som-
Wait.
No.
The cat.
The cat had jumped in first, right? And the cat...was here, with the girl...so...that would mean...that they didn't ruin everything, right? Right. No need to panic. Izzack took a couple deep breaths to calm himself, and he offered the strangers a smile. Well, he attempted to at least. It was a bit crooked, and it definitely did not help with the butterflies in his stomach, but it had to count for something at least.

"Oi, what is up with these two?" Sunny would think to herself. One thing for sure nether of them seemed to really know how to interact with others. But at least the bunny woman was doing her best. Lucky picked up on this to. "Sunny are you sure about this? It does not seem like they don't seem to really know what they are doing.." He said with his thoughts with the link shared between them.
"Pfft like you are one to talk."
"Hey!"
But Sunny ignored him. She looked at Yuki who looked like she was gonna have a break down any second now. Gahhhh she had to get Yuki back to the shop! And make sure these two followed.. Somehow...
"Ok, I think we need to get otta here. A nice private quiet place.. So everyone can calm down." Sunny said and then looked at Lucky who nodded and put his front paws on Yuki's leg and she was quick to pick up Lucky and hold him close.
Sunny nodded and started to lead the way. " This way~ Follow me~" Sunny said.
It did not take long to reach Yuki's computer repair shop, Yuki unlocked the door going inside and quickly found a chair to sit in as she cried softly to herself holding Lucky in her arms.
Once everyone was inside Sunny looked at Yuki then over at Izzack and Sierra. "Umm.. Would you guys like something to drink?" Sunny offered. drinking tea helped Yuki a lot but she wanted to make sure if their guests wanted something.

Ooooh. This was awkward! This didn't count as breaking in, did it...? They were invited in, right...? She didn't need another earful from the Cappytain... especially when she did help someone this time...!
Sierra still really had no idea how to console Yuki, but her hand shot up at Sunny's question. "I would like a water, if that is okay!" She answered cheerfully, though she enunciated her words in a cartoonish way. She looked around, still uncertain however, and opted to sit down on the floor where she stood. Perhaps if she sat lower than Yuki - on the floor rather than a chair - she would seem less scary to her? Because if she was smaller, she was less threatening! That's what Sierra reasoned, at least. She looked wholly human save for the ears and tail, but much of her naivety came from an animal's line of thinking.
"Please do not be scared!" Sierra chirped from the floor, crossing her legs. "I will be a good noodle! And so will Izzack!"

Izzack was hesitant at first about entering Yuki's shop, but momentum, and also Sierra, kept him going until he was inside. "Ah...I'm okay. Thank you." he replied. A part of him worried that declining a drink would be rude, but he didn't want anyone to go through extra effort for him. Especially since...his eyes flickered over to Yuki for a brief moment before he planted his gaze solidly on the floor. How was he supposed to deal with a crying woman? He couldn't even deal with a happy one!
Right when Izzack built up the courage to look, and perhaps take, a seat, Sierra pulled her little stunt. Was...was he supposed to sit on the ground? Well...no...right? Was Sierra trying to tell him to sit on the ground, too? Maybe, but...
Izzack froze in place, one leg slightly forward, hand half raised. He was completely stuck at this crossroads Sierra suddenly placed him at. "Uh..." he grunted below his breath, his brain practically melting with all his overthinking."Yes?" he said, trying to reaffirm Sierra's promise.

Sunny nodded and went into the staff room that was fitted with some sigh tech stuff that Yuki had made herself. " Computer, stove on start to make some hot tea and pour a glass of water to please." Sunny asked. The staff room seemed to come alive as the small stove turned itself on and robot hands started to get to work on making the tea and pour a glass of water. Yuki had made it this way just for when she started to have a panic attack on days customers where not very nice and Lucky and or Sunny where the ones that needed to make the tea for her. Thankfully that happened very rarely. As the water warmed up the robot hands poured the glass of water and placed it in a small robotic waiter that could hover.
Sunny then left the room with the robotic waiter walking up to Sierra. "Here ya go~ Water with some ice cubes." She said as the small robotic waiter lifted the glass up to Sierra. Once she had the drink both Sunny and the small robotic waiter went back to the staff room. After a few minutes they would return with a cup of hot tea for Yuki. Lucky then would jump down from Yuki's lap. "Ok drink up Yuki, remember to do it slowly though." Lucky would say as the robotic waiter held up the cup. Yuki took the tea and blew on it a few times before taking a few small sips. The smell and taste was very soothing as Yuki started to relax and calm down.
Yuki then looked over at her guests giving a weak smile. Ahh she must have worried them.. "S-s-sorry that I worried you... Th-thank you for helping me." Yuki said softly as she sipped more of her tea.

Sierra eyed the mechanical waiter suspiciously for a moment, but the suspicion quickly dissipated into a cheerful look once she was presented with her refreshment. "Neat! Thanks!" She chirped again before gulping down the glass. Ooh! Ooohoohoo! Haha! Ow! That was cold. Amidst her near brain freeze, trying to shake it off, she realized something. Oh! This girl - Yuki - was finally willing to talk to them! "Yeah! You’re welcome! Happy to help!" Sierra piped up excitedly. "I’m glad you’re not mad! People seem to get mad when I help." She stared down at her glass thoughtfully, her cheeks puffing up in a pout. "I mean, don’t tell anyone this, but half the time, I run away because things are too scary!" She poked at her head. "It’s because I’m a bunny, you know! We’re runaway-ers, not fighters, so sometimes it's hard to help people at all..." She perked up. "But running away isn't always bad! In fact, running away is exactly how I met Izzack!" She turned to him with a clueless smile. "...I think!"Well.. she was technically right. She ran by him at the time, but she wasn't really aware he was even there for a good while. Nevermind the whole "oops the bystander I asked for help actually mistook Izzack for a villain" thing happening (which she probably didn't even understand in the first place), she just... remembered him suddenly being there. |

"Sierra's right..It's a pleasure to h-help those in need." Izzack kept quiet that he was also very, very relieved that this help hadn't been responded to with anger. When Sierra mentioned how the two of them met, however, a strange mix of emotions flashed across his face. Annoyance? Concern? Dread? They came and went too quickly to really be sure of any individual one. He...didn't really like remembering on how he met Sierra, even if she was a valuable friend to him.
"Honestly, I am...overwhelmed at how well you are treating us for the little aid we gave you. I...uh...thanks." he managed. He was feeling a little more comfortable, but that just meant that he went from 'near-panicked' to just 'incredibly awkward'. "I'll make sure to...repay you in time." he gave a small nod, as if what he said actually made sense given the context of why they were there in the first place.

Yuki listened as Sierra tilting her head when she said she was happy she was not mad that they helped. That confused her a little but did not comment on it, she just guessed they tried to help others people got mad at them. So they also ran away a lot to, heh honestly she was the same.. She rather run then fight, today was her first time drawing her weapon.. Yuki shuddered at the thought of it.
"I rather run away to.." Yuki said softly sipping more of her tea.
"Honestly, I am...overwhelmed at how well you are treating us for the little aid we gave you. I...uh...thanks."
"I'll make sure to...repay you in time
That caused Yuki to choke on her tea from shock, after coughing she looked at Izzack and shook her head.
"W-w-what? T-this is nothing, It should be me repaying you for helping me." Yuki protested.
Then another thought crossed her mind, she had not introduced herself yet! " O-oh, my name is Yuki. Its nice to you." Yuki said as her face was now turning red from
embarrassment.
Mean while Sunny and Lucky sat back as the three spoke, it seemed to be going well so far the both of them would think.

"I rather run away too..."
Sierra perked up. "Neat!" So she wasn't the only one! That was nice! Her ears twitched when Yuki coughed in surprise, though they quickly relaxed. Sierra then realized the girl kinda spoke a little funny; not in a "haha" way, but in a similar-to-Izzack way. She couldn't really put her finger on what it was though, but there was definitely a certain vibe...!
"T-this is nothing, it should be me repaying you for helping me." Yuki had said, then quickly introduced herself.
Sierra gasped, springing to her feet. "Hi Yuki! I'm Sierra! And this is-!" She began excitedly, but cut herself off when she remembered she'd already introduced them when they first entered. "Oh! Right. I said that already," She tapped a finger to her chin in thought. "But! If you're offering repayment-" Sierra began. As ditzy as she was, she did do bounty hunting for money as much as she did for trying to make the city safer... but was she really going to ask for money from this poor girl?
Nah. Sierra would never!
"We should be friends!" She threw her arms up excitedly. "Then we can go stop bad guys together!"

For a split second, Izzack tensed, suspecting Sierra might try to coerce Yuki into something nefarious, but that quickly passed as he remembered, of course, that Sierra was too innocent to do anything of the sort. What she ended up "demanding" though was still a bit of a shock to him. "Sierra, you can't just-" he cut himself off
Sierra most certainly could just do that. Izzack sighed quietly. At least her friendly pushiness was better placed in this situation than when she had decided she would be his friend. Still, he should at least try to play the diplomat here.
Wait, what?
Izzack shook his head, surprised thoroughly by the mere thought. Still..."Uh...if you...don't...mind? That would be...nice?" he managed. He could feel his face burning up as he spoke. It was at that moment that he made a silent vow to himself to teach Sierra some manners, before she ended up killing him through sheer embarrassment.

"We should be friends!"
"Then we can go stop bad guys together!"
Yuki blinked at those words as she stared at Sierra in silence. Friends? Stopping bad guys? This was going a bit fast Yuki was feeling a little dizzy.
"Uh...if you...don't...mind? That would be...nice?"
Yuki then looked at Izzack, his reddening face just made her blush even more. Yuki was not sure how to answer them she never had anyone ask to be her friend before. Yuki then looked over at Lucky and Sunny as if looking for some support.
Sunny offered a smile and a nod, Lucky also nodded. He was still unsure about Sierra and Izzack but they did not seem like bad people so he was willing to give them a chance.
Yuki then took a deep breath and exhaled as she gathered her thoughts and tried to find the right words to say. It... It would be nice to have friends in the real world.. She had friends on the internet but that is all they where.. She did not know who they where and they did not know who she was. Her world had always been so small, ever since she got her powers.. Always scared she would be found out.. But now right in front of her two people willing to be friends. Though how would they react to her powers? Only time would tell, for now it was time to make her small world a little bigger.
"I.. I would like that." Yuki said softly with a shy smile. "Don't know about fighting bad guys though, not really a fighter." Yuki said as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Sierra, you can't just-" Izzack had started to protest, though he seemed to quickly change his tune. What a silly old man! Good thing Sierra was around to help him!
"I.. I would like that. Don't know about fighting bad guys though, not really a fighter..." Yuki admitted bashfully.
"That's okay! We can just stop them instead!" Sierra clenched her fists eagerly. It didn't sound too different from fighting them, but she elaborated further. "I mean, if Izzack can freeze them like he did the other guy, that's like... the same! Right, right?" She turned to the reaper for a moment, but she didn't wait for his answer. "Ooh! Ooh! Or! Or we could distract them! And someone else could fight them!" She hopped up and down, then stopped. "But like... if we fought together... that'd be three of us... so we could do that ourselves, too!" Yeah! All right! Sierra was on a roll! "And then fighting will be even less scary!" Yes! She was a genius!
"Or!" Sierra's loud, excited tone dropped to a normal indoor voice. "We could sit in the park and eat flowers." She beamed. "It doesn't matter, really!"

Izzack remained quiet as Sierra went about her verbal equivalent of a fireworks show. It wasn't worth the effort trying to get a word in edgewise when she was like that, he figured. When she was done, though, he spoke up quietly, though with a tiny, flickering flame of conviction in his voice. "Even if we aren't the best at what we do, I think it's still important that we try to make the city a better place. I'd rather fight a hundred hopeless battles than just let people like earlier hurt innocent people." he frowned slightly, wondering if he sounded silly. Well, wondering was a bit unneeded. Of course he sounded silly, but still. "I'd also...I'm sure we can all work together to get better at fighting, or whatever it takes..." that flame inside him wavered with uncertainty, but he managed to sit a little straighter. If he couldn't be confident like Sierra, he could at least fake it.
