“I’ll just say this, crime is so bad, you can literally walk into a police station and ask to see confidential files and 7/10, you might get your wish.”

❝How so, exactly?❞

Now he's curious. One doesn't say that without experience.

"We would have gotten ambushed a long time ago if they knew your position. Trust me, the crime rate in this city is more than enough for me to prove that."

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 3h

Ross chuckle and shook his head, then being put down as they arrived.

“Ahh, this your home. Not bad. I um… Guess this is where we depart or?”

— Mary Marvel. @benevolentbolt.bsky.social · 6h

〝 Where do you live? GTA? 〞

She’s kidding, and then finally they arrived in front of her home.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 10h

"Fair, might mean I need to move out at some point."

He smiled at her, content that she cared about his well being.

〝 I’d rather you not die, okay? 〞

Her tone was demanding, but suave and caring.

"I'm a bounty hunter and a repo man, in one of the worst cities in the world. It's pretty normal for me to dodge bullets on the daily."

At least being with Mary, he's escaping that part of his life.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 13h

He sighed and shook his head.

"You've come to the wrong town if that's what you're looking for. The nicest person you'll see here is probably cooped up in their apartment, and I don't blame them."

At least Ross didn't tell the android to get lost, not yet...

❝Hope it isn't too far. Wouldn't want to get ambushed on the way there.❞

〝 I was going to say something along the lines of ‘wtf’, but the world’s better off without me cursing. 〞

Concern washed over her, Mary being quite delicate with him.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 13h

"Just had one of the more exciting nights of my life and it didn't involve me being in a shootout. I think I'd like to live more after this."

He chortled, keeping a hold of Mary so that he does not fall.

〝 You’d better. 〞

She’d hate for him to go splat, just like that, and flew fast, but not too much.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 16h

Being scooped up did surprise Ross once again, but better hold on while she took flight.

“I’m not used to this, I’m gonna hold on regardless!”

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 13h

"Am I always like this? What the fuck did you expect? To meet someone new that will give you flowers and roses just for exists? Tch..."

Safe to say, yes, he's normally like this.

"Consider only experiencing my attitude as a good thing, I can be a lot worse."

She’d scoop him up in her arms, bridal-style and flew forth.

〝 We must be wary of our surroundings. 〞

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 18h

And Ross would do that, taking the arm as he got close.

“Ready when you are.”

〝 You know it. 〞

Levitating a bit, she’d extend out her arm, hoping he’d take it now.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 19h

A slight step back, he was expecting her to transform so soon.

“I stand corrected. I guess a flight is much easier.”

〝 Silly, this isn’t New York. 〞

Suddenly, without warning, she’d summon the lightning bolt to transform her into Mary Marvel.

〝 Shazam. 〞

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 19h

“Very well, don’t want ice cream in the way there?”

He gives a smirk as he walked her out of the event.

“Might have to call a Taxi.”

❝Plenty of them.❞

A smirk came on the tiger's face.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 6d

“… Sounds like you need a gun.”

Ross said with a cold look on his face.

〝 Let’s head back. 〞

She’s gotta get her sleep, after this wild night, knowing it’s needed.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

"If I'm honest, I surprised myself as well."

He took it as a joke, going back to wrap his arm around Mary's waist.

"So, pleasant evening so far, you want to continue here or are you ready to head back?"

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

“… A fuckin’ android?! Well that just speaks volumes.”

Ross rubbed his head, almost out of frustration, he didn’t expect an android to be so sentient.

“You’re in the eastern part of the states, ring a bell? Or is that not updated into your program?”

“The fuck do you mean where is here? You’re not one of those loopers, are you?”

He didn’t even notice the butterfly on the hand, to busy trying to find out where Clear is from.

“You’re far away from Kansas, Dorthy. Woodstock, NY for that matter.”

“Kindness is another way to get you stabbed in a heart or worse.”

The crime rate in this city was rather rough, murders weren’t necessarily common, but it happens more often here than other places.

“You make it seem like you’re not from around here.”

She’s joking, of course, hoping it wasn’t taken so seriously.

The song was just about to end, Ross decided to bring Mary into his arms and carry her, twirling on his own with her in arms.

As it ended, he looked into her eyes with a grin, right on que as the song ended and the applauding began.

"Phew... Talk about a workout."

It was genuinely the first time in any time she had felt excited. In fact, this was enough to impress everybody in their vicinity.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

Ross would follow every move that Mary did, he would even have Mary do an assisted flip, allowing her to land on her feet in the process.

Ross would then replicate some of the dances from the artist himself.

〝 Hell yeah. 〞

She’d take his arm this time and do a bit of a twirl, followed by catching him in her arms.

"Is that so?"

As the said that, the music started to pick up with a familiar tune.

"If that's the case, let's put on a show for them."

The more the dance, the more the two received eyes. It got to the point where most people around them were letting them have the floor to themselves.

"Uh oh, we're about to have a spotlight soon."

— Mary Marvel. @benevolentbolt.bsky.social · 1d

She had understood the implications of such words.

〝 Lucky me. 〞

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

“Hehe, it was just a suggestion. At least neither of us have two left feet.”

He joked, going for another dip before giving Mary a twirl.

〝 I’m not sure I could do this well against them. 〞

She was having fun, which was the most important thing.

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

Ross is surprised how Mary herself is able to keep up, at the same time, he’s never danced like this and the two aren’t missing a step.

“I think we oughta compete in a dance competition.”

Ross "Karnivore" Osborne @karnivorousraptor.bsky.social · 1d

- pattern here.”

Already his temperamental personality kicks in, even if he was tranquil for now.
