"Huh? Oh that?" He said as he began moving downhill towards the building "That's where a good friend of mine lives."
-It's been about 3 years since I was last here, not since the dead began to walk again way back when- (OOC: Referring to the RP: Beyond The Veil)
-I sure hope he has something for us.- "Don't worry about anything happening here Mercy, I don't know of a safer place..." He said reassuringly.
Down at the bottom of the hill, they entered the driveway and came to what would usually be the door to the main office, but instead of a wooden door with a window, it had been reinforced with titanium alloy and heavy bolts. Next to it was an intercom which Nova pressed.
At first nothing, then came the voice of someone else Nova was familiar with, a woman with a french-sounding accent. "Hello? Who's there?"
"Hey-O Francesca! It's Nova? My brother called me here?" -Actually, it was more like he came and went, I'm just assuming he came here-
She groaned over the intercom "You think I forgot what you did Nova?" She said bitterly "About when you-" Before she could finish, Nova covered the speaker, muffling what she had to say "Ehehe, we tend to do stupid things when we're young" He said to Mercy, sweating bullets and he pulled his hand off the speaker. "-vert...Alright, I got the go to let you in...but if I catch you even thinking about doing that again, I'll take my gatling gun and empty it into your eyesockets..."
-It was three years ago, you think she'd forget about by now...Even though it was definetly worth it- ^___^;
The door hissed, a puff of white smoke came from around the door, gears grinded on the other side and finally the door opened.

Mercy had followed Nova to the door and remained quiet, though she raised an eyebrow and tilted her head at the woman's bitter tone. If they were on the same side, why was she so cold? After coming up with her own conclusion she shrugged. "Silly people..." She said cutely and for the first time she smiled. She was getting rather good vibes from here but she wasn't completely off her guard.

From the outside, the building was just a mechanic shop with some new tech plastered here and there. But the inside was a whole another story. It had been rebuilt from the ground up to completely replicate that of a robotics laboratory. It was hard to believe anyone could live here, The floor was complete covered with stainless steel plating which replaced what was probably once concrete, as were the walls. There were shelves upon shelves of mechanical parts: cogs and gears and microchips to name a few.
Scattered across the floor and in creates laid a variety of limbs from hands to to full on arms and legs. This would be terrifying, if Nova hadn't know they were just prosthetic. He knew because he once had a prosthetic arm. Now his arm is 100% flesh and bone, but that was another story.
"Yo Mikey! Where are you?" he called out, cupping his hands around his mouth.
"You don't have to yell, sheesh, do you know what time it is!?" "Oh don't give me that, you're always working late on some sort of new machine or weapon you mad scientist you" he said jokingly.
"I'm not a mad scientist! I'm a roboticist."
Entering from the previous room, a boy of about 12 years old appeared. He was wearing a scientists's white labcoat along with a pair of grease covered overalls on top of a red short-sleeved shirt. In one hand, he held a small metal wrench and the other a wet rag which he used to clean the machine oil on his cheeks.
"There's that little genius I know. Man, you've grown a lot." Nova said, impressed.
"Of course I have" Mikey responded, pushing the rag into his side pocket "It's been three years, two-hundred and forty seven days, and 16 hours since you last visted here. You'd think I'd wouldn't grow in that amount of time?"
"Still as stiff as the robots you build I see." He chuckled.

Mercy also entered the robotics laboratory and looked around with curiosity marking her face. She crouched down and picked up a prosthetic Arm and observed it. She looked up at Nova and then the boy who stood in front of them. Her current straight hair would then out of nowhere curl up as she straightened out her dress though with ought realizing she still held the arm.

Michael took off his glasses, wiped them with a clean part of his shirt and adjusted them. When he realized Mercy was in the room, his eyes widened "T-T-There's a girl in my lab! How did she get in here!?" He said, pointing at the girl with his index finger.
"Oh, She's with me Mikey, I picked her up on the way here."
"Uhh, isn't she a little young for you?" Mikey said, skeptical with a stern look.
"It's not like that dude...seriously." And you could almost see the anime sweatmark appear beside his head.
"I know that, only a person not in their right mind would have any interest in you." He said smirking.
"You little punk, big talk for a kid who hasn't had a girlfriend before."
Michael flushed angrily "Y'know? It's okay for kids my age not to be interested in relationships!"
"Oh, now you decide to call yourself a kid, Mr. I'msmarterthaneveryoneespeciallynova person!"
And the two began to tustle. But it wasn't really violent, more like how a big brother fights with his little brother. He caught Michael into a headlock and gave him a noogie, rubbing his knuckles into the crown of his forehead "You brought on this yourself y'know? Now say uncle!" "No way you spikey-haired anime reject!" Mikey grunted, struggling with his captor.
That struck a nerve with Nova, as a tense muscle in his forhead appeared "No you did not call me an anime reject you nerd!"
The two continued to struggle, their fight turning into a big ball of dust with hands and feet appearing from every which way until someone came in behind Mercy and said "Stop it right now! Stop acting like children!"
Michael had just punched Nova in the nose when he realized who had come in. "F-F-Francesca, I-I-I..." Michael stuttered.
"I'd expect better from both of you!" The woman called Francesca appeared stood over Nova and Michael with an impressive dominating aura. She raised her left had and smacked them both on the back of the head.
"Hmph, now apologize to each other." She demanded, her arms crossed while tapping her foot.
They both muttered brief apologies but still loud enough for Francesca to hear it so they didn't had to repeat it. "I swear, every time you two get together you're teasing and fighting each other."
She turned around and saw Mercy for the first time, who had watched the ridiculous spectacle.
"Oh, and who might you be?" She asked her, with a kindly tone that replaced her previous disciplining voice.

Mercy quickly dropped the prosthetic arm she held and looked up at Francesca with uncertainty. "M.. Mercy" She stuttered seeming to have a little difficulty talking suddenly. Her right hand gripped into her hair out of her nervosity of the tone she had applied before hand to the two other boys.

"Hi Mercy, you can call me Francesca." She said smiling at her.
"Francesca" Said Nova, now taking on a more serious mood. "My brother, is he here?"
She turned around "He came back just before you did." and answered.
Nova got up onto his feet and so did Michael who said "Zeo was traveling when he...encountered an unknown biological entity who attacked him without warning."
"Like myself and this girl." Nova interjected. "So, what is it that we're dealing with?" He asked the group.
"We can't be sure" said Michael "but when we consulted CRYPTIC, he said he would draw on his C.P.O. collected database for info."
"The creature said we were like brothers...I figured it might have something to do with them...even after I personally defeated Cyronius II, he seems like his organization is causing trouble..."
"Cyronius is dead, he fell from his tower with a bullet in his brain. Orrick admitted to pulling the trigger himself..." Said Francesca "Not to mention any incursions with independent factions were wiped out." She finished.

As they discussed Mercy approached Francesca and circled her once in observation. Her little fingers shifted into metallic liquid and shaped themselves into spikes. She moved behind the woman and then with one strong push of her legs she jumped onto the woman's back and hooked onto her clothing with her pointy fingers.

"GYAAH!" Suddenly, slight sharp pricks into her back which made her jump with surprise. "WHAT'S GOING ON!? WHAT IS THAT!?" "MERCY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Said Nova with a gaping mouth "Shouldn't you ask first if you want a piggy back ride!?" As Francesca tried to shake Mercy off her back, the metallic hooks that Mercy had made for herself began to make large rips in Francesca's top until finally, they could no longer support her and Mercy was forced to the floor. But that was nothing to what happened next. The hooks had cut the supporting straps and down the back of the top, which means that it could no longer stay on Francesca and it feel to the ground. The room went silent, Francesca stood there horrified with the fact that she was standing there with her bra exposed for the whole room to see, which held on tight to her developed breasts. She tried to cover herself but Micheal and Nova had already seen too much, signaled as their noses began to bleed wildly, gushing plasma onto the floor, which knocked out poor Michael. "Nova...." Francesca growled. "WHAT!? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THIS TIME! NO WAIT NOT THE FACE!" "MERDE, PERVERTI SEXUEL!" She yelled angrily. She raised her right fist, which was completely covered with metal, no...it was made of metal and slammed it right into Nova's jaw, sending him through the roof and over the horizon, with a brief flash of light signaling he was thrown clear. After a while, Nova was back with a bandage over his swollen cheek. Both he and Michael had put tissues into their noses. Michael still looked woozy and pale though. Francesca had put back on a new top and this time made it so that both Nova and Mercy was in her sights. She had calmed down a bit though. In the end, nobody likes a pervert.

Mercy ripped the shirt that was stuck of her fingers as they turned knife like. she glanced a little bit at everyone as she turned around from them and walked towards the door noticing that her presence was causing trouble amongst them. She looked over at them apologetically once more before continuing on her way. "I... Apologise." She spoke with a little difficulty once more.

She looked over at Mercy, listening to see if she being sincere. "Apology accepted...what would give you the idea to do that in the first place?" And her eyes shifted back to Nova with a stern look, Nova waved his hands pleading his innocence in the matter.
"Hmph, well come on, CRYPTIC and Zeo are waiting for us in the next room."

"I shall go find home." Mercy muttered loud enough so they could hear. she continued her way to the exit door however came with the dilema of making it work to open. "Errr..." She raised her hand as it shifted into the silvery liquid once again while it shaped into a large mallet. She Easily rose her arm about to bring it down on to the door to attempt and beat it open to create herself an exit like she had once before.

"WHOA WHOA WHOA!" Nova exclaimed as he got in between Mercy and the door, only to get crushed under her weapon "Oww, please stop, please?"
"That's amazing!" Said Michael, marveling at Mercy's new-shown ability.
"Easy for you to say, you didn't hit with a mallet" He groaned.

Mercy frowned at nova as she bonked him with her hammered hand a second time out of frustration. After wards the hammer turned back into her small hand. "You didn't want to get hurt, but you got in the way. Your fault." She spoke in a neutral tone. She glanced over her Shoulder to Micheal, her head turning a inhumane 180 degree turn to be facing completely backwards. She raised an eyebrow quickly and then completed the 360 turn with only her head.

The air around them became disturbed an eerie with Mercy's change in aura. Everything seemed frozen in place and quiet. Michael and Francesca were just a moment away from turning to run when-
"GGGRRRAAAOOOOWWWWLLLL"
"What was that?" Francesca said, concerned. "Sorry, that was my stomach, Ehehehe..."
Francesca and Michael dropped to the ground, groaning at the ridiculousness of it all.
"Hey, how about we all eat first before any more weirdness goes on. Mercy, you're free to join us if you want?" He offered, shifting out of the way of Mercy's morphed weapons.
